Naruto: I Confronted the Five Kage Before the System Arrived

Chapter 293: The End of Uchiha Obito

Returning to the real world, Uchiha Obito fled frantically. During his escape, he intended to call out to Black Zetsu, generously planning to send him to the Kamui dimension, but he discovered that Black Zetsu had vanished without a trace.

"That guy…"

Uchiha Obito was about to complain when his expression suddenly changed. He turned his head to see that Hagoromo Gengetsu had already caught up.

"Persistent ghost!"

Uchiha Obito cursed under his breath and increased his speed. Despite exhausting his chakra and using various methods, he could not shake off Hagoromo Gengetsu.

As a kunai, carrying a sharp aura, flew towards him with a piercing sound, it was about to pierce his chest. Uchiha Obito ignored it, letting the kunai pass through him as if slicing through air, and then turned his body, his right eye unleashing intense spatial distortion.

One after another, large shurikens shot out from the Kamui dimension. Empowered by the spatial distortion, they carried enough force to cut through a tailed beast, roaring towards Hagoromo Gengetsu.

After executing this attack, knowing it would only temporarily hinder Hagoromo Gengetsu, Uchiha Obito didn't pause. He activated Kamui again, his entire body twisting and spinning as he quickly entered the Kamui dimension.

Observing the empty space where no one but himself was present, Uchiha Obito breathed a sigh of relief. For now, he was safe.

"Next time, I will…"

As he was about to make a determined declaration, the familiar spatial distortion suddenly emerged behind him.

Uchiha Obito's voice stopped. He turned sharply, his face filled with shock.

"How is this possible???"

"Nothing is impossible."

A hand emerged from the distorted space, and a calm voice echoed in the Kamui dimension. Before Uchiha Obito could react, he saw the owner of the hand, the person who made his soul tremble, force his way in.

The next second, the spatial distortion disappeared. In the vast Kamui dimension, the two stood in silence, facing each other.

Uchiha Obito was too shocked to speak, while Hagoromo Gengetsu, visiting the Kamui dimension for the first time, glanced at the helpless Uchiha Obito before curiously observing the unfamiliar space.

At this moment, the Mangekyou Sharingan in his left eye socket gradually slowed down. After seeing Uchiha Obito enter the Kamui dimension and easily deflect the large shurikens, Hagoromo Gengetsu used Kamui to create a person-sized spatial distortion area in front of him. Stepping through, he transported himself into the Kamui dimension.

Uchiha Obito's greatest life-saving technique was now nullified.

"You…"

Recovering from his shock, Uchiha Obito was about to question Hagoromo Gengetsu when he noticed the difference in Hagoromo Gengetsu's left eye.

"Mangekyou Sharingan?? This familiar feeling and connection… it's Kakashi's eye!"

Uchiha Obito immediately recognized it, his right eye widening in shock.

Kakashi…

In the past few days, major events had happened one after another in the ninja world. Even with White Zetsu's information network, Uchiha Obito had been more focused on the capture of the One-Tail and Eight-Tails, the destruction of Mount Myoboku, and the confirmed death of Naruto.

As for Hagoromo Gengetsu's brief visit to Konoha and the fact that Kakashi had his eye taken, with Konoha keeping the news under wraps, Obito was still unaware.

Not having time to ponder the emotional impact of losing the last memento from his past self, Uchiha Obito stared at Hagoromo Gengetsu, asking bitterly:

"You actually know my identity?"

The entire ninja world believed him to be dead, and his name was inscribed on the memorial stone in Konoha. His secret should have remained hidden.

Facing Uchiha Obito's indignant question, Hagoromo Gengetsu looked back, responding calmly:

"As long as you are not Uchiha Madara, any other identity is irrelevant to me."

"Now, tell me the location of the Two-Tails' Jinchuriki."

Hagoromo Gengetsu searched the Kamui dimension but did not find the Two-Tails' Jinchuriki. Uchiha Obito had not brought them here as he claimed.

Uchiha Obito didn't respond. Refusing to give up until the last moment, he retreated rapidly, his right eye once again surging with spatial distortion. Before he could transfer back to the real world, Hagoromo Gengetsu shook his head, his figure flickering as he appeared behind Obito, gripping his neck.

The spatial distortion from Uchiha Obito's right eye dissipated. He did not surrender easily.

Wood Release: Piercing Technique!

Sharp wooden spikes suddenly sprouted from Uchiha Obito's back, aiming to pierce Hagoromo Gengetsu and continue branching inside him.

The next moment.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Metallic clashing sounds rang out. The wooden spikes failed to penetrate Hagoromo Gengetsu's defense.

Compared to the original Wood Release of Hashirama Senju, Uchiha Obito's Wood Release was much weaker. Hagoromo Gengetsu ignored the spikes, lifting Obito with one hand and pressing his other hand against Obito's forehead, saying calmly:

"Since you won't talk, I'll ask myself."

Human Path Mind Reading activated!

Compared to Uchiha Obito, who had many secrets and inherited substantial knowledge from Madara, the Mind Reading technique alone could not easily replicate his brain's guarded memories.

The Rinnegan, however, was different. Using its power, Hagoromo Gengetsu ignored the seals in Obito's brain, forcibly extracting all his memories.

Just as he was about to find what he wanted, Uchiha Obito's body suddenly combusted.

"Suicide?"

No, it was Izanagi. Uchiha Obito's only choice in a situation where he couldn't resist.

Sure enough, after a while, Obito's remains vanished, and he reappeared unharmed not far away.

Seeing Obito preparing to escape the Kamui dimension once more, Hagoromo Gengetsu said softly:

"A futile struggle."

Unlike Danzo, who had an arm full of Sharingan, Obito only had one three-tomoe Sharingan in his left eye.

Izanagi, only once. Hagoromo Gengetsu's Mangekyou Sharingan activated again.

A spiral-shaped distortion appeared before him. Stepping through, he returned to the real world.

Uchiha Obito was just ahead. Feeling the wind grow stronger behind him, with his mask shattered, Uchiha Obito smiled bitterly and reached out as if grasping at someone, muttering:

"Rin, I'm sorry I couldn't meet you in the new world."
