Shun stood in the center of the courtyard, watching Kakashi and Minato leave. He took a deep breath, slowly closing his eyes.
The next second, a crimson light overflowed from his eyelids, and his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan suddenly activated.
Ocular Technique: Divine Eye.
After advancing to Eternal Mangekyo, Divine Eye possessed a maximum detection range of 20,000 kilometers, so he only needed to activate it at home to bring most of the Ninja World into his view.
Chakra surged into his eyes like a tide, his consciousness instantly spread out, and then rapidly extended towards the surrounding countries.
His "vision" swept across the sea, reached the forests of the Land of Fire, the mountains of the Land of Hot Water, and finally settled on a small, ordinary village.
As his "gaze" began to zoom in, the picture became clearer and clearer.
A figure wearing a spiral mask stood before a woman, with an adult man beside her, and a baby girl lay on the bed.
The woman's eyes were vacant, her movements mechanical, clearly under the control of a genjutsu, as she carefully held Ken, opening her clothes to feed him.
Ken seemed not to resist, sucking with his mouth, occasionally opening his eyes to curiously observe his surroundings.
"Obito, to actually use genjutsu to control an ordinary woman to care for Ken..."
Shun, however, felt a sense of relief. At least Ken was temporarily out of danger.
He continued to track Obito's movements, finding him running towards the northeast at an extremely fast pace, yet maintaining a steady gait, as if afraid of jostling Ken in his arms.
"This direction is... the Land of Iron."
The Land of Iron, as a neutral country, did not participate in any wars, had no ninja villages within its borders, and was only guarded by samurai, making it a relatively peaceful place.
Obito's choice to hide Ken there clearly indicated that he believed it to be safe enough, where he wouldn't be found by anyone from the Uchiha clan.
After discerning his whereabouts, Shun pondered for a moment. He did not immediately notify Minato and Kakashi. Obito was extremely fast, and if they waited to assemble a team, they might miss the optimal tracking opportunity. He decided to pursue Obito alone first to confirm Ken's safety.
Then, Shun used the Flying Thunder God Technique, and his figure vanished from where he stood. When he reappeared, he was already in a forest in the Land of Fire.
This location was closer to the Land of Iron, making it the best starting point for pursuing Obito.
Seraph Mode: Activate.
He clasped his hands together, and Chakra surged.
A platinum-gold light emanated from his body, rapidly covering him entirely, forming a platinum-gold armor, and three pairs of flame wings unfurled from his back. With a gentle flap of the three pairs of golden flame wings, his body shot into the sky like a rocket.
A golden figure arced brilliantly across the night sky, flying towards the Land of Iron.
"Obito, you can't escape."
With Divine Eye, Obito could not escape his lock, and the distance between them was continuously shrinking.
The border of the Land of Iron was already in sight, and Obito's figure was vaguely visible.
Shun took a deep breath, the Eternal Mangekyo in his eyes began to spin, and Chakra surged madly into them.
Ocular Technique: Divine Acceleration!
As he silently chanted, the space around his body seemed to compress, and his speed instantly soared by 12 times.
His golden figure transformed into a streak of light, almost breaking the limits of visible perception, and instantly appeared beside Obito.
Obito only felt a sudden sharp pain in his arm, and the weight in his arms abruptly vanished.
Before he could react, he was struck in the stomach by an immense force, sending his entire body flying backward.
After crashing through three large trees, Obito finally collapsed to the ground, clutching his stomach, his mask covered in cracks, and blood oozing from the corner of his lips.
Shun deactivated Divine Acceleration, and Seraph Mode slowly shut down.
He gently held the startled, crying Ken in his arms. Like a doting father, he gently patted his back to soothe him.
Shun walked up to Obito, looking down with a cold tone. "Obito, how does it feel to kill Rin with your own hands?"
Obito struggled to get up, his voice filled with anger and unwillingness. "That was just a clone, it wasn't Rin at all! Stop spouting nonsense!"
Shun suddenly laughed, his laughter tinged with a hint of mockery. "Hahaha, Obito, you don't actually think that only Edo Tensei can revive people, do you?"
He paused, his gaze becoming playful. "Let me tell you honestly, I revived Rin. If you hadn't been so impatient and killed Rin, perhaps you would have discovered that she wasn't a clone at all."
"No... what you're saying is... false... she was just a clone!"
Obito felt as if he was struck as if by lightning, staggering back a few steps. He clutched his head and squatted on the ground, shaking his head frantically.
He had a lingering suspicion but he wasn't sure and he still held onto the hope that the Rin he had just killed was merely a clone.
The scene of Rin's death flashed through his mind. He had pierced her heart with Wood Release, yet she hadn't hated him. Instead, she had gently reached out, wanting to caress his face.
"Obito... you must have... suffered a lot... these past years..."
"She recognized me... yet I killed Rin... I killed Rin with my own hands."
Immense pain and regret instantly overwhelmed his reason.
He suddenly stood up and violently slammed his head against a nearby large tree, blood streaming from his forehead, yet he seemed to feel no pain. He just kept slamming into the tree.
"I killed Rin... It was me... I deserve to die."
In the shadow of a large tree, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu were secretly observing the scene before them.
"Obito's been broken, we can't let him keep harming himself."
Just as Obito was spiraling into collapse and attempting to continue self-harming, a black shadow suddenly shot into his body.
Black Zetsu quickly attached itself to Obito, controlling his body, preparing to escape using Kamui.
He cursed in a cold tone, "Idiot Obito! Now is not the time to die. Let's run."
Black Zetsu's sudden appearance was actually within Shun's expectations.m because White Zetsu's hiding ability was completely ineffective before Divine Eye.
Shun smiled slightly and asked, "Black Zetsu, where do you plan to take him? Don't you want to save your mother anymore?"
Black Zetsu ignored him, directly controlling Obito's body and retreating into the Kamui Dimension.
Once inside the Kamui Dimension, Black Zetsu breathed a sigh of relief.
Five minutes later, Black Zetsu controlled Obito's body, opened the Kamui Dimension, and reappeared in another area. But before him appeared someone who shouldn't have been there.
Shun, holding Ken in his left arm, said with a smile, "Black Zetsu, we meet again."
