Chapter 84: Sinister Genius Ninja

Amaterasu was still burning.

Obito moved forward step by step.

But Itachi manipulated Amaterasu into following Obito’s movement and began to spread the range of Amaterasu.

Itachi was sure that Amaterasu was not damaging Obito. Still, he wanted to find more information about Obito’s ability!

“Itachi, will you continue to test me?”

There was some dissatisfaction on his face as he looked at Itachi, “If you continue to test me, you might lose your life!”

Itachi stared closely at Obito’s movement and said in a cold voice, “Uchiha Madara and Obito-senpai powers are not at the same level. I must think about it carefully, right?”

After judging Obito’s action based on the information he had, Itachi believed that the limited duration guess was reasonable. This guy couldn’t maintain his state of intangibility for an extended period!

Obito didn’t know what Itachi was thinking and continued to chat leisurely, “Uchiha Madara was not as powerful as we thought. Too much time has passed, and the clan has forgotten the Mangekyou Sharingan…”

“Has it?”

Itachi parroted his words and continued to delay.

But there was one thing Itachi could already be sure of, there was a problem with Obito’s IQ, or it was his mentality that was problematic.

Why would a weak person who only gained the power of Mangekyou Sharingan feel like he was unbeatable?

An idiot who claimed to be strong!

He would be beaten up by other strong people sooner or later!

Uehara was hidden in a corner, watching Obito and Itachi from a distance. That guy Obito hadn’t noticed Itachi’s conspiracy and was still walking through the flames of the Amaterasu.

Wasn’t he too confident?

Did you forget that your power only lasts five minutes?

Well, Obito had not forgotten about it, but he was just too high right now.

To ensure that Itachi would still be willing to be him, Obito could only continue to pretend that he was not afraid of Amaterasu’s flames, emphasizing the power gap between them!

“Itachi, retract your Amaterasu!”

His period of intangible was rapidly ending, Obito finally couldn’t help but persuade Itachi, “Itachi, wasting your Mangekyou Sharingan’s power to test an enemy that you can’t gauge. This is meaningless.”

“Maintaining Amaterasu doesn’t waste too much eye power.”

Itachi knew at heart that he couldn’t listen to Obito’s persuasion. A tear of blood dripped slowly from the corner of his eyes as he continued to delay, “Senpai’s eye technique was really magical. It’s the first time I’ve seen Amaterasu fail to hurt someone.”

“…”

Obito’s face gradually became hard to look at. Whenever he wanted to leave the range of Amaterasu, the flames would follow him and refuse to leave.

Why was Itachi like this?

If this continued, his intangibility would end.

His trump card was so easily seen through by Itachi!

Facing a ninjutsu genius like Itachi, Obito believed that, once Itachi found a flaw in his technique, he would think of a way to crack his technique.

Obito’s gaze gradually became terrible, “Don’t try my patience, even a ninja’s patience was limited… Uchiha Itachi!”

However, this threat sounded different to Itachi…

Obito was in a hurry!

He was in a hurry, he was in a hurry, he was in a hurry!

As expected of the information sent by his Anbu-senpai, the intangible state of Obito could only last about five to eight minutes!

Obito was about to reach his limit!

Itachi maintained the black flames around Obito, keeping track of time in his mind. Every second mattered.

Itachi’s fingers tapped on each other little by little, silently saying, “Four minutes and thirty-five seconds, thirty-six seconds, thirty-seven seconds…”

“What a bad boy!”

Obito’s figure flickered, he sank into the earth little by little. With the help of his intangibility, he could sink into anything and walk.

It’s just a waste to do so.

Leaving the Amaterasu this way would signal to Itachi that this state could not deal with continuous attacks over a long period.

After Obito sank to the ground, he began to think. He had to be more careful in the future, lest Itachi secretly attacked him.

“Four minutes and forty-nine seconds…”

Itachi frowned. His target Obito had disappeared from his line of sight, so it was meaningless to continue using Amaterasu.

He didn’t expect that guy, Obito, to be more troublesome than expected!

Suddenly Obito’s figure flew out of the ground, and a wooden thorn sprang out of his palm, piercing toward Itachi’s face!

“Itachi, don’t test those stronger than you…”

“Suiton: Suijenheki!” (Water Wall)

Itachi’s quickly formed a hand seal at a speed people couldn’t see clearly. An instant later, a stream of water spouted from his mouth, forming defensive ninjutsu!

However, Obito penetrated the water wall like nothing!

Itachi frowned and realized the tricky part of fighting with Obito. The three tomoe in his eye sockets spun wildly, looking directly at Obito.

Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique…

Tsukuyomi activate!

At that moment, the two bodies stopped!

Before the Tsukuyomi eye technique in Itachi’s left eye activated, Itachi quietly formed another handprint, leaving a clone.

Uehara watched the battle. His vigilance towards Itachi was at its highest, “Itachi is so sinister…”

That clone may become key to his victory!

A second later, Itachi covered his left eye, and a stream of blood flowed from between his fingers, “It seems like senpai’s eye techniques can stop my genjutsu…”

Just now, they were clashing in the illusion space of Tsukuyomi, but neither of them got the advantage.

Obito seems to know about the Tsukuyomi. He could endure the endless pain in Tsukuyomi and even looked for an opportunity to break out!

Even so, Obito’s spirit was hit hard!

Obito knelt on one knee, covering his eyes. His voice gradually became more solemn, “Was that the Tsukuyomi’s illusion just now? It seems that, after Uchiha Shisui’s death, you’ve become the strongest genjutsu user in the world…”

Before Obito’s words finished, Itachi’s crow clone suddenly appeared behind him and stabbed Obito’s body with a kunai!

Obito looked down at the kunai that had managed to pierce his chest!

“It seems that I guessed correctly.”

Itachi looked at Obito and whispered, “After experiencing the pain in the genjutsu, Senpai couldn’t continue to use his eye power…”

“Bastard…”

Obito could only look at the calm and gentle junior opposite him. Gritting his teeth viciously, he hurriedly dragged his seriously injured body away!

The two of them both lost in the genjutsu confrontation earlier.

Obito’s mental backlash was severe. How could he even think about continuing to use Mangekyou Sharingan to maintain his intangible state?

Itachi was also clearly mentally injured due to his breaking of the Tsukuyomi. How could he have the ability to use a crow clone to attack?

Or was it arranged before he used Tsukuyomi?

Genius ninjas were all sinister and cunning guys!

Kakashi was like that, and so was Itachi.

No matter their position, they would not stop trying to go on the offensive.

Itachi clearly had the advantage, but he dared not take it lightly. Facing a weird Mangekyou Sharingan user, even Itachi was not absolutely sure of victory.

After all, Obito could still use Izanagi. Only Izanami could defeat Izanagi, but Itachi found it too cost-ineffective.

He needed to preserve his strength.

He had to preserve his strength until Sasuke grew up.

Obito, who didn’t know Itachi’s plan, only had Izanagi left.

Obito’s eyes looked at Itachi fiercely. His pretentious attitude had finally disappeared, “Itachi, are you going to betray me too?”
