Chapter 774: Battle of the Two Lands

Sizzle!

After entering the Kamui Dimension, Kakashi immediately gathered a large amount of Chakra in his palm to perform Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation.

The lightning enveloped his hand, activating the cells within Kakashi’s body and greatly enhancing his speed.

After a while of entanglement with Broken Mask Obito, Kakashi noticed that Rin Nohara, who had been brought into the Kamui Dimension, was caught in a Genjutsu and stood still, so he wanted to help her release the Genjutsu.

However, he did not succeed due to Broken Mask Obito’s constant obstruction.

“Obito, turn back. You should know what you are doing now. Don’t make any more mistakes.”

Kakashi advised.

He could see Broken Mask Obito’s thoughts.

Even if it was the Rin Nohara from a parallel world, Broken Mask Obito did not want her to see them fighting each other.

If he had a choice, Kakashi truly did not want to fight Broken Mask Obito.

Broken Mask Obito was his hero, the hero who saved him.

“‘Rin’ is right here. You can ask her. If she had sacrificed herself, would she want Obito to be immersed in hatred for the rest of his life, or would she want Obito to forever maintain his original aspiration of becoming Hokage?”

“Hehe.”

Broken Mask Obito sneered.

“Kakashi, you’ve really fallen. That’s just an impostor with Rin’s name. What meaning do her words have?”

“Moreover, do you think I’m doing all this just because you killed Rin?”

“The real reason I started this war is this despairing Ninja World!”

In fact, Broken Mask Obito knew the truth of everything.

He knew that Rin Nohara had run into Kakashi’s Lightning Blade herself, and that Kakashi had not intended to kill Rin Nohara.

Therefore, Broken Mask Obito did not hate Kakashi; he hated this Ninja World, this Ninja World that could never achieve peace.

“Kakashi, you must also be living in great pain, right? Your father committed suicide, you personally killed your comrades…”

“As long as I cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, all of these will turn into nothingness. Your world will become more beautiful than ever before, and everything you like will return.”

Broken Mask Obito tried to persuade Kakashi to help him by using his own methods against him.

“Is that why you want to control the entire world with Genjutsu? It shouldn’t be like this. We have better options, just like in the parallel world.”

Kakashi calmly said.

“The parallel world has already proven that the Five Great Ninja Villages can unite to protect the peace of the Ninja World together.”

“And then? After ten or twenty years, they’ll turn against each other again due to self-interest and another Shinobi World War will break out?”

Broken Mask Obito said disdainfully.

He was now convinced that only the Infinite Tsukuyomi could save this despairing Ninja World.

“That won’t happen! You’re talking nonsense without even knowing what the Ninja World Alliance is.”

Obito, who had just entered the Kamui Dimension, heard Broken Mask Obito’s words and quickly retorted.

Seeing Obito’s sudden appearance, Broken Mask Obito was a little surprised.

He hadn’t expected the mysteriously disappeared Obito to return so quickly.

“You’re the one talking nonsense. You haven’t experienced despair, so you don’t understand the true nature of the Ninja World.”

Broken Mask Obito retorted Obito’s retort and mocked:

“Although you’re called ‘Uchiha Obito,’ you’re just an impostor with an empty name.”

“Obito, stop deceiving yourself. He is what the former you looks like when he grew up.”

Kakashi said in a deep voice.

He still remembered how kind the former Broken Mask Obito was, and how much he wanted to become Hokage and end the war.

“And Naruto, he is also very similar to the former you, which is why you pay so much attention to him, right?”

“Come back, become the former you, help us seal Uchiha Madara, resolve the Ten-Tails, everything is still in time.”

“Kakashi, you’ve been a Ninja for over twenty years, are you as naive as him?”

Broken Mask Obito said with a mocking expression.

Seeing Broken Mask Obito’s stubbornness, Kakashi glanced at Obito, giving him a look.

Obito understood his meaning, walked to Kakashi’s side, and subtly patted his back, leaving a Flying Thunder God Technique mark.

Whoosh!

The next moment, Kakashi suddenly rushed out, attacking Broken Mask Obito.

Due to the Nine-Tailed Chakra in his body, he was even stronger after a long battle than he was at his peak.

Meanwhile, Obito threw two Flying Thunder God Kunai towards Broken Mask Obito’s position.

“Even if two wastes join forces, they can only struggle a little longer.”

Broken Mask Obito scoffed, quickly forming hand signs and gathering Chakra to perform Fire Release Chakra Nature Transformation.

“Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!”

A large amount of high-temperature flames spewed from Broken Mask Obito’s throat, quickly forming a huge fireball.

“Flame Breathing, Full Concentration!”

Obito synthesized the gathered natural energy into Senjutsu Chakra, and entered the Breathing Technique Chakra Mode, bringing his state to its fullest.

“You’re the one who’s useless! You just keep saying the world is hopeless. If there were more people like you, the world would truly become hopeless!”

“Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!”

Obito clasped his hands together, and a large amount of Chakra in his body rapidly transformed into Fire Release, spewing out a large sheet of flames.

In an instant, he created a huge fireball over eight meters tall.

Under the enhancement of Sage Mode and Flame Breathing Chakra Mode, a C-rank Fire Release was used by Obito with the momentum of a super-high-level Ninjutsu.

“How did it become so much stronger than before?”

Broken Mask Obito was a little surprised in his heart.

Even with his considerable Fire Release mastery and Hashirama cells, he still couldn’t contend with Obito’s Fire Release.

Boom!

The two fireballs collided, and Broken Mask Obito’s Fire Release was quickly swallowed by Obito’s Fire Release, which then continued to smash towards Broken Mask Obito.

At this moment, Kakashi, who had circled to the side, also took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

Broken Mask Obito dodged the Ninjutsu while creating black rods to engage in close combat with Kakashi.

“Hehe, you’re quite bold. Do you dare not resist my Genjutsu? Then you’ll understand everything, and you’ll comprehend true despair.”

Broken Mask Obito sneered, staring at Obito after repelling Kakashi.

“What do I have to be afraid of!”

Obito snorted, looking directly into Broken Mask Obito’s eyes.

With his ability, even if he fell into a Genjutsu, as long as he willed it, he could instantly break it.

As Broken Mask Obito’s Genjutsu activated, two people appeared before Obito’s eyes: one was Kakashi, who looked only twelve years old, and the other was the equally young Rin Nohara.

Kakashi’s arm flickered with lightning, holding the Lightning Blade as he charged straight at Rin Nohara, his arm piercing through Rin Nohara’s chest, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

Rin Nohara, whose heart was pierced by the Lightning Blade, coughed up blood, her eyes lifeless.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Obito’s pupils rapidly dilated, and his entire Chakra instantly burst to its peak, unconsciously breaking Broken Mask Obito’s Genjutsu.

The impact this scene had on him was too great.

He couldn’t find any flaws in the Genjutsu scene constructed by Broken Mask Obito, which meant that everything he saw was very likely true.

Recalling the Shadow Clone’s memory, when Broken Mask Obito accused Kakashi of personally killing “Rin Nohara,” Kakashi’s face showed self-reproach.

The authenticity of the Genjutsu scene was further corroborated.

Obito’s face was filled with disbelief. The Rin Nohara of this world was actually killed by “Kakashi”!

“The Kakashi who failed to protect Rin is false, and the deceased Rin is also false. This world of despair is the source of all falsehoods.”

Broken Mask Obito said slowly, seeing Obito’s huge reaction.

He knew that Obito, who also possessed Kamui, could understand him.

“Obito, don’t be influenced by him. Stick to your original aspiration!”

Kakashi, seeing Obito stunned standing still, quickly said.

With that, Kakashi charged towards Rin Nohara again, wanting to change the situation by waking Rin Nohara up.

Before, he thought that by teaming up with Obito’s main body, he could steadily defeat Broken Mask Obito, so he wasn’t in a hurry to help Rin Nohara release the Genjutsu.

“Don’t do anything unnecessary.”

Broken Mask Obito immediately rushed towards Kakashi, extending a thick tree branch from his right arm.

But just as Broken Mask Obito and Kakashi were entangled, Obito moved.

“Rasengan!”

Whoosh!

Obito directly flashed to Kakashi’s side and slammed a Rasengan into Broken Mask Obito’s body.

Bang!

With a loud bang, wood splinters flew everywhere, and Broken Mask Obito was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.

He believed that “Kakashi” would not kill a comrade, and the “Rin Nohara” who was killed showed no surprise or confusion on her face; instead, she had a hint of relief.

Perhaps “Rin Nohara” truly died at the hands of “Kakashi,” but there must have been many hidden circumstances.

Kakashi instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Obito was more reliable than he had imagined; the Flying Thunder God Technique combined with the Rasengan just now even reminded him of his teacher, Minato Namikaze.

“Flying Thunder God Technique, was that the mark left when we stood together just now?”

Broken Mask Obito’s expression was not good, and he thought of Kakashi’s initial glance.

He hadn’t expected Kakashi to establish such a tacit understanding with Obito in such a short time, where a single glance could make the other party understand the tactic.

“You brat, you really are an impostor. Even with Rin like this, you can remain indifferent.”

Obito’s reaction was beyond Broken Mask Obito’s expectation; he had thought the other party would at least question Kakashi.

“No, even for the Rin from a parallel world, seeing her come to such an end, I feel deep sorrow.”

Obito shook his head and said.

Facts showed that the parallel world was another possibility.

The thought of how tragically Rin Nohara might have died pained Obito.

“But no matter how painful it is, we can’t keep running away.”

Obito believed that running away for a short period was only human nature.

When Muzuki was at a disadvantage in his battle with Uchiha Madara, he also had the thought of escaping, believing the world was fake.

But he believed he would never keep running away.

Because that would completely negate all of Muzuki’s teachings to him, it would negate his entire being.

“Reality is reality. No matter how beautiful a Genjutsu is, it’s ultimately fake.”

“Faced with cruel reality, what we should do is try our best to change reality, change this world prone to tragedies, instead of creating more tragedies.”

Kakashi’s expression was extremely complex.

Although Obito was talking about Broken Mask Obito, he felt that he himself had been hit by the words.

If he hadn’t run away from those things when he was young, but had chosen to do more, would things have turned out differently?

“How high and mighty.”

Broken Mask Obito wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face terrifyingly grim.

“You haven’t truly lost anyone, so of course you can say such righteous and high-sounding words.”

Obito’s words were particularly grating in his ears.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

The Obito of the parallel world hadn’t been crushed by a boulder, hadn’t personally witnessed his best friend kill his beloved. That Obito had no right to say such things.

“When you truly lose your beloved, you’ll know how ridiculous you are now.”

Saying that, Broken Mask Obito actually formed a hand seal and charged towards Rin Nohara.

“He has already sunk into the abyss.”

Kakashi took a deep breath, his expression filled with immense disappointment as he spoke.

He really didn’t want to kill Broken Mask Obito, but the former “Obito” was never coming back.

Obito had spoken sincerely from the bottom of his heart, yet Broken Mask Obito stubbornly believed that Obito, who hadn’t lost Rin Nohara, had no right to lecture him.

“Kill him as much as possible.”

Killing the current Broken Mask Obito was protecting the “Obito” who once wanted to become Hokage.

Obito nodded.

It was hard to believe that “he” would actually attack Rin Nohara voluntarily.

Broken Mask Obito was completely lost. “Obito” had forever disappeared from the Ninja World; what remained was merely a madman attempting to control the entire world with Genjutsu.

“I’m truly unwilling! I could actually become someone like you. Let me end you with my own hands!”

“Stop boasting, you hothouse flower should just stay in the safe room and not come out!”

“Sage Art: Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!”

Obito consumed a large amount of Senjutsu Chakra to create a vast sea of fire between Broken Mask Obito and Rin Nohara, thereby preventing Broken Mask Obito from approaching Rin Nohara.

Broken Mask Obito retreated upon seeing this, but Obito then controlled the sea of fire to undergo further Nature Transformation, turning into fiery dragons that surrounded Broken Mask Obito.

“Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!”

Kakashi swiftly formed hand seals, raising walls around Broken Mask Obito, narrowing Broken Mask Obito’s dodging range.

“Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!”

Broken Mask Obito burrowed underground, going to the other side of the Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall, using Kakashi’s Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall to block the Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet.

However, Obito’s Fire Release this time was put forth with full power.

Under the impact of the high-temperature flames, the thick wall was quickly breached.

Broken Mask Obito had already experienced the power of Obito’s Sage Art, so he didn’t believe the Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall could protect him. He immediately used Fire Release to cancel out Obito’s Fire Release.

Whoosh!

Kakashi flashed forward and charged, but was pierced through the body by a black rod from the already wary Broken Mask Obito.

Sizzle!!

The pierced Kakashi turned into lightning, enveloping Broken Mask Obito.

This was not Kakashi’s main body, but a Lightning Clone that Kakashi had split off while the Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall obscured the view.

Obito flashed and rushed in front of Broken Mask Obito, who was paralyzed by the lightning.

Looking at the face similar to his own, Obito clenched his fist, gathering a large amount of Chakra onto it.

Bang!

“This punch, I’m throwing it for Naruto, do you know how much suffering he endured because of you?!”

Obito’s fist landed heavily on Broken Mask Obito’s face, the immense force distorting Broken Mask Obito’s expression and sending several of his teeth flying.

Obito’s parents had died before he could remember, so he knew what it felt like to not have parents.

Even though his grandmother had tried her best to give him the love of a family member, some things couldn’t be compensated for.

And because of Broken Mask Obito, Naruto became even more miserable than him. He at least had a grandmother, while Naruto could only grow up alone.

“This is a necessary sacrifice! Everything he wants will return once the Infinite Tsukuyomi is cast.”

Broken Mask Obito retorted with a ferocious expression.

Hearing Broken Mask Obito still talking about Genjutsu, Obito’s anger flared. Killing someone’s real parents, and then compensating them with a pair of fake Genjutsu parents?

“This punch is for the Ninja who sacrificed themselves in the war. Because of your ridiculous plan, who knows how many Ninja have died now.”

Obito gave up defending, and even if it meant being hit by Broken Mask Obito, he would give Broken Mask Obito’s face another punch.

Bang!

A dull thud sounded, and Broken Mask Obito was sent flying backward, his cheek incredibly swollen and his face covered in blood.

He scrambled to his feet, wanting to say something, but because Obito had repeatedly struck his face, Broken Mask Obito’s speech was now slurred.

Kakashi pressed his advantage, once again engaging Broken Mask Obito in close combat.

Whoosh!

Obito, glowing red all over, suddenly appeared behind Broken Mask Obito.

During the previous close combat, he had already left a Flying Thunder God Technique mark on Broken Mask Obito’s body.

“Sage Art: Flame Fist!”

A fist carrying powerful Fire Release Chakra directly pierced through Broken Mask Obito’s chest, annihilating his heart.

“It’s over. Remember to apologize to those who died because of you, if you still have a shred of conscience.”

Obito withdrew his arm, letting Broken Mask Obito fall to the ground, and walked towards Rin Nohara without looking back, saying.

Humans have two major weaknesses: one is the heart, and the other is the brain. And just now, he directly destroyed Broken Mask Obito’s heart.

Even Tsunade wouldn’t be able to revive a Ninja whose heart was completely destroyed.

So, in Obito’s eyes at this moment, Broken Mask Obito was already a dead man.

“Cough cough.”

Broken Mask Obito coughed up a large amount of blood, his eyes fixed on Obito’s back.

Even though the current outcome was what he wanted, Broken Mask Obito felt extremely unhappy.

“Sigh.”

Kakashi sighed deeply upon seeing this scene. He had originally intended to kill Broken Mask Obito himself.

Because he felt that having Obito kill Broken Mask Obito would be extremely painful for both of them.

This was truly a case of “fratricide” in the literal sense.

In the end, Broken Mask Obito still didn’t speak, merely silently used Kamui to teleport himself away.

Is it over?

No, it’s just beginning.

For ordinary humans, losing a heart is indeed a dead end.

But for the second Six Paths Sage, it was a minor injury that didn’t matter.

“When I succeed, you will understand the true gap between us.”

Broken Mask Obito now had several more reasons to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Obito noticed Broken Mask Obito leaving, but didn’t pay attention.

Even if Broken Mask Obito didn’t leave, he would have to move him out. Having a dead “self” in the Kamui Dimension was too unlucky.

Moreover, he didn’t want Rin Nohara to see these things.

During the battle, he had intentionally not dispelled Rin Nohara’s Genjutsu beforehand.

“Not dispelling the Genjutsu?”

Kakashi asked, looking at Obito who was slow to act.

“Do you think she’ll be safe in the Kamui Dimension?”

Obito scratched his head.

He did think that way.

“Then you’d better be prepared to be scolded by Rin. She’s a very responsible and brave girl.”

Kakashi shook his head.

“Obito, you’re such an asshole.”

“I didn’t say I necessarily had to keep Rin in the Kamui Dimension, I just had a little idea, you know.”

Obito said gloomily, “How is that being an asshole?”

“No, this is me scolding on behalf of the Shadow Clone.”

Obito: …

Watching Obito’s difficult expression as he began to list the various shortcomings of the Shadow Clone Technique, Kakashi felt a sense of relief in his heart.

He had intentionally said that to lighten the mood.

Killing “himself” with his own hands, Kakashi was very worried that it would leave psychological trauma on Obito.

“Obito” was lost because of hatred, and he sincerely hoped that Obito could successfully become the ideal version of himself.

“Rin, is there anything wrong?”

Obito asked with concern after dispelling Rin Nohara’s Genjutsu.

“I’m fine, Obito, you’re here. Did you encounter any problems when you crossed over?”

Rin Nohara shook her head slightly and asked gently.

“No, just as Muzuki-sensei said, it was just a small ripple.”

Obito replied.

“Where’s that ‘Obito’?”

Rin Nohara looked around and asked.

“He’s been defeated.”

“Is that so…”

Rin Nohara sighed lightly.

“Then let’s go outside quickly. Our only opponents left are Uchiha Madara and the Ten-Tails.”
