Chapter 81: Obito's Pseudonym Was Exposed, and One Sentence Made Obito's Mentality Completely Collapse!
Uchiha Akira stood in the center of the training ground, his chest rising and falling slightly, with several intentionally exposed wounds on his body. His handsome face showed a hint of fatigue. Across from him, Uchiha Obito, wearing a spiral mask, also stood silently. A silent standoff.
Finally, Uchiha Obito spoke. "What a spectacular performance." His voice carried an undisguised, condescending mockery. "Fighting two against one, repelling the legendary Sannin Orochimaru and the immortal Kakuzu. Uchiha Akira, your name will echo throughout the Ninja World after tonight. It's just a pity… a spectacular performance always comes to an end. Forcibly activating power beyond your limits, and then continuously using those powerful compound ninjutsu, you are now… at the end of your rope."
Akira did not retort; instead, as if he had exhausted all his strength, he asked a question. "Who… are you, really?"
This question made the masked man burst into maniacal laughter. "Hehehe... Who am I?" Uchiha Obito slowly took 2 steps forward, an air of arrogance emanating from him. "I am the savior who will bring ultimate peace to this cursed world. I am the god who severs all false bonds and guides the world to true happiness. I am the ghost of the Uchiha. Uchiha Madara!"
If it were anyone else, hearing this name would indeed have caused them immeasurable shock. Uchiha Madara represented the peak of Ninja World combat power, a legendary name.
However, there was no hint of the expected shock on Uchiha Akira's face. He just listened quietly. Then, Akira smiled. It was a smile filled with disdain and pity.
"Heh. Uchiha Madara? Don't be ridiculous. Uchiha Madara wouldn't wear that ridiculous mask of yours! You haven't even mimicked one-tenth of Uchiha Madara! Imposter!"
Uchiha Obito's body instantly stiffened slightly. What's going on? Why was his usually infallible act of arrogance ineffective against Uchiha Akira?
Akira shook his head in dissatisfaction. "Your clumsy acting might fool those ignorant small fries. But in front of me, save it." He scoffed disdainfully. "You are not Uchiha Madara. Your name is Uchiha Obito."
Boom—!
As the name Uchiha Obito was spoken, the masked Uchiha Obito's body immediately began to tremble violently, visibly so. Beneath the mask, his crimson Sharingan pupil contracted to its extreme. How could this be! This name! This name that should have been buried beneath the ruins of Kannabi Bridge, completely forgotten by the world! How did Uchiha Akira know it! Besides himself, the only one who knew this secret was Zetsu! Impossible! His plan was flawless!
"It seems I was right." Uchiha Akira took a step forward, his domineering aura soaring into the sky. He gave Uchiha Obito no time to breathe or think, continuing his fierce verbal assault.
"Previously, the Nine-Tails Attack in Konoha, that was also orchestrated by you, wasn't it? When Uzumaki Kushina, your master's wife, had just given birth and her seal was most unstable… you appeared. You used your ocular ninjutsu to control the Nine-Tails and forcibly extracted it from your master's wife's body."
Akira directly subjected Obito to a soul-piercing interrogation. "You caused the death of your master's wife. You also caused the death of the teacher who always nurtured you. Uchiha Obito." Akira's voice was filled with contempt. "You could even lay hands on your own teacher and master's wife. You are no savior at all. Minato Namikaze and Kushina were so good to you, and you are just an ungrateful wretch! You are a piece of trash, worse than an animal."
"Silence!!!" A roar, suppressed to its extreme, erupted from beneath the mask. Uchiha Obito's body trembled violently. Akira's words tore open his facade, infuriating him immensely. The surrounding air became distorted due to Obito's uncontrolled Chakra.
"What do you know!" Uchiha Obito's voice was no longer disguised, but returned to its original, slightly clear tone characteristic of a youth. "This world is the true hell! War, hatred, death, separation! Everything here is filled with pain! What I am doing is to end all of this! In the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi, there is no pain, no sorrow, and Rin is still alive! That is true peace, true happiness! To create that perfect world, any sacrifice is worth it! You… you, a fool who indulges in false reality and cannot see the true nature of the world, have no right to judge me!"
Akira quietly listened to Obito's roar. The next instant, his Mangekyō with the six-pointed star pattern, beneath his eyelids, suddenly accelerated its rotation.
"Ocular Ninjutsu: Time Reversal!"
Visibly, several small wounds on Akira's body instantly vanished. His partially depleted Chakra also instantly returned to full. In just 2 or 3 seconds, he returned to his full power, looking at the stunned Uchiha Obito with a half-smile.
Beneath the mask, Uchiha Obito's face was filled with horror. How could this be! Not only were Uchiha Akira's injuries fully healed, but his Chakra had also returned to its peak. What... did you do? What kind of strange ocular ninjutsu was this? Was it a Genjutsu? No, his Sharingan couldn't possibly fail to see through it! What was it?
Uchiha Akira did not answer. Such uncertainty, far more than a direct answer, could break down a person's mental defenses. Akira calmly looked at Obito. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he slowly spoke.
"Speaking of which, I really admire the Fourth Hokage." This abrupt topic caused Obito's thoughts to freeze for a moment. "As a civilian ninja, he was indeed a genius. Whether it was his talent, his character, or his understanding of the Will of Fire, he was impeccable. Unfortunately..."
Akira's gaze instantly sharpened. "He met an ungrateful wretch like you. Today," Akira took a step forward, his aura rising again. "I will, on behalf of Minato Namikaze and Uzumaki Kushina, whom you killed… Oh, right. And Naruto. Teach you, this rebellious disciple, a good lesson."
