"Hm!? I didn't expect the Third Rain Shadow to be this strong…"
Sensing the chill behind him, Uchiha Obito's expression changed slightly. In the next instant, his figure vanished without a trace.
When Uchiha Obito reappeared, he was already far away from Uchiha Feng, staring at him coldly. His single Mangekyō Sharingan flickered with complicated emotions.
In fact, as early as several weeks ago, Uchiha Obito had already noticed that a particularly troublesome figure had appeared in Amegakure.
What was more alarming was that this person was also a member of the Uchiha clan.
Ever since Obito had witnessed his companion Rin die before his very eyes, he had fallen into utter despair toward the world, developing a desire to take revenge on everything.
After that, by chance, he encountered the dying Uchiha Madara.
With Madara's help, Obito's strength skyrocketed once more, and in his heart gradually formed the ambition to dominate the world—to make the entire world submit beneath pain.
Later on, Obito used his Mangekyō Sharingan to secretly control the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure, using the Mist Village as a foothold to begin his revenge against the world.
What Obito hadn't expected, however, was that the Kirigakure ninja he sent to cause chaos in Konoha never returned.
As Kushina's due date drew closer and the Nine-Tails' seal weakened, Obito's plan still hadn't advanced even a single step…
In the end, growing anxious, Obito tracked down the culprit behind the deaths of those Kirigakure ninja—Uchiha Feng.
He wanted to see exactly what kind of person this Uchiha Feng was, to dare interfere with his plans.
Otherwise, when he moved to take revenge on Konoha, Uchiha Feng would inevitably appear to stop him.
And that was the last thing Obito wanted to see.
Just as Obito was thinking this, Uchiha Feng's calm voice drifted over from the distance:
"The reason you came here is probably to eliminate me—one of the biggest obstacles to your revenge against Konoha, right?"
"After all, Namikaze Minato is my teacher."
As those words fell, Obito's expression instantly changed. He stared at Uchiha Feng in shock, clearly not expecting his carefully laid plans to be seen through so easily.
Uchiha Feng, on the other hand, let out a cold chuckle.
In truth, ever since he had killed those Kirigakure ninja in Konoha, he had already guessed that Uchiha Obito was the mastermind behind everything.
He simply hadn't expected that just as Amegakure was beginning to show some real progress under his rule, Obito would already come knocking.
But this was fine.
It was the perfect chance to test just how big the gap was between himself and Uchiha Obito at this stage.
As this thought crossed his mind, a sharp metallic clatter rang out. At some unknown moment, a massive chain had appeared before Uchiha Feng, lashing toward him at incredible speed.
Clearly, Obito had made his move.
Unfortunately for him, Ning Feng—who knew Obito's abilities inside and out—only curled his lips slightly. In the instant Obito wasn't paying attention, he flicked his wrist and threw out a kunai engraved with space–time markings.
At the same moment, a massive Rasengan had already formed in Ning Feng's other hand. Around it, low, thunderous rumbles and explosive sounds echoed, as if countless bombs were compressed within it.
This technique was none other than—
Explosion Release: Rasengan Shuriken.
Seeing this, Obito's expression shifted. He hadn't expected that someone so young could already wield such a terrifying S-rank technique.
Even so, Obito felt no fear.
His ability allowed him to phase through any object, rendering all attacks and ninjutsu meaningless unless he chose to attack.
Unless he was on the offensive, nothing could hit him.
With that in mind, Obito's lips curled upward as he directly collided head-on with Ning Feng.
Just as Ning Feng had anticipated, the Explosion Release: Rasengan Shuriken passed straight through Obito's body the instant they made contact.
At the same time, Obito's next wave of attacks was already being prepared.
However, what Obito hadn't expected was that the moment his body phased through Ning Feng and he prepared to counterattack—
Ning Feng vanished without any warning.
By the time Obito realized what had happened, Ning Feng was already standing right in front of him again, still holding the Explosion Release: Rasengan Shuriken.
At the same time, dozens of Ning Fengs had appeared around him at some unknown point.
Every single one of them was holding an Explosion Release: Rasengan Shuriken.
One of the Ning Feng clones rapidly formed hand seals.
"Wood Release: Piercing Technique!"
"…!?"
Obito was shocked.
He hadn't expected this kid to see through his ability so easily.
And judging by the timing, Ning Feng was clearly planning to strike at the exact instant Obito became tangible, aiming to kill him outright.
To unleash so many techniques in such a short span of time—
Was this really a junior of the Uchiha clan!?
But Obito was Obito.
Facing such dense, overwhelming attacks, at the instant he became tangible, Obito hurriedly formed hand seals with his free hand, attempting to use a Substitution Technique to escape.
In a split second—
Pa!
Rapidly growing wooden branches, like living hands, forcibly wrapped around Obito's arms.
At the same time, countless Explosion Release: Rasengan Shuriken came crashing down toward him in a relentless torrent!
Boom—boom—boom—boom—boom!
Amid the deafening explosions, terrifying shockwaves shook the entirety of Amegakure, tearing through the surroundings with unstoppable force and violently demolishing nearby buildings.
Fortunately, this area was far from the village center and consisted mostly of ruins. Otherwise, the sheer destructive power alone would have been enough to wipe out a full quarter of Amegakure.
As the smoke gradually dissipated, Obito's mask had already been completely shattered.
He stood there panting heavily, the single Mangekyō Sharingan revealed on his face filled with shock, complexity, and disbelief.
He had never imagined that this man called Uchiha Feng could be so terrifyingly powerful.
At their very first exchange, he hadn't gained even the slightest advantage.
If not for the fact that he had forcibly re-entered his intangible state at the instant he became corporeal, he would have already died there.
In the far distance, Uchiha Feng frowned slightly.
As expected of one of the final bosses of the ninja world—his reaction speed really is absurd.
If it had been anyone else, they would have already been finished.
"Who exactly are you?" Obito took a sharp breath and demanded.
"How can you possess power that surpasses even the Uchiha!?"
What Uchiha Feng had just displayed was far more than a single Kekkei Genkai.
That fact alone was terrifying enough.
