Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Looting the Reward: Kamui!
"Not bad for an ability."
Mirai Uchiha calmly analyzed, though inwardly he remained highly alert.
It could only be said that this was truly the "Kamui"—the Dojutsu of the Mangekyo Sharingan, reputed as the strongest.
If he didn't have spatial perception talent or his reaction speed wasn't fast enough, his neck would've been twisted off just now by Kamui's power.
Only Kamui could pose a life-threatening danger to him at this moment—before reaching the Six Paths level.
As Mirai Uchiha pondered, Obito Uchiha had already lost his cool.
Before coming here, he never even considered Mirai Uchiha a threat.
In Obito's eyes, although Mirai Uchiha did possess remarkable talent, that was all he had.
Before obtaining the power of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, after acquiring the strength of the Mangekyo Sharingan, Mirai wouldn't have been able to progress much further.
His opponent's Mangekyo ability was indeed impressive, but his own was even stronger.
He also had Hashirama's cells enhancing him—something where he definitely surpassed Mirai Uchiha.
Even though Mirai controlled Konoha's power structure, the things he could learn were just the tip of the iceberg.
Obito, on the other hand, through White Zetsu, already knew everything about Mirai's abilities in full detail.
In their confrontation, the final victory would surely be his.
Yet now, in just a brief moment, his own abilities had already been completely analyzed by the opponent.
All Mirai had sacrificed was dozens of kunai scattered across the ground.
Such a performance reminded Obito of the fear he once felt back at the Ninja Academy—when Mirai had completely dominated him.
Why, even after awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, inheriting Madara's legacy, and receiving help from Zetsu...
was this Mirai Uchiha still capable of bringing him such overwhelming pressure?
Damn it! I'm merely trying to create a world where everyone can fulfill their wishes—why won't you just die obediently!
Gritting his teeth furiously, Obito prepared to attack again when suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
Kunai?
Looking at those oddly-shaped kunai scattered on the ground, Obito instantly recalled how Mirai Uchiha had dodged his Kamui attack moments ago.
[Flying Thunder God Technique?!]
Suddenly, Mirai Uchiha's figure appeared before Obito, wielding a long katana slashing directly toward Obito's neck.
Obito sneered coldly, stretching out his hand while patiently waiting for the moment Mirai Uchiha's strike would miss—ready to send him into the Kamui dimension.
Since you've figured out my ability yet still choose to attack like this... You're asking for your end!
The next instant, the blade flashed with a deadly gleam.
Obito Uchiha's head rolled across the ground, Sharingan still filled with shock.
What just happened?
Hadn't he activated Intangibility? Why could Mirai Uchiha's attack still hurt him?
[Ding! Congratulations, Master! Looted reward: +1 Spiritual Power!]
A flicker of disappointment crossed Mirai Uchiha's face upon hearing the System's message.
Only stole a bit of Spiritual Power. Not very lucky.
But there was still a chance.
Using Byakugan, Mirai had already noticed that Obito had transplanted two triple-comma Sharingan onto his body.
Combined with his own pair of Sharingan, his opponent had four chances to activate Izanagi.
That was the first time.
A moment later, Obito's body disappeared and reappeared on a nearby clearing.
The instant he appeared, Obito unleashed Wind Release to scatter all the Flying Thunder God Kunai around him, instantly memorizing their new positions.
That was too close.
If he hadn't activated Izanagi in advance, he would now be a headless corpse.
Unable to figure out why he'd been attacked just now, Obito decided to use Kamui for a long-range snipe against Mirai Uchiha. He absolutely must not let his enemy get close again.
Thinking this, Obito immediately cast Kamui toward Mirai Uchiha once more.
At the first sign of space twisting, Mirai Uchiha's body vanished.
Where would he appear this time?
Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan spun rapidly while observing all the Flying Thunder God Kunai in the distance.
Suddenly, he felt an intense pain pierce through his heart.
Looking down, he saw a cold gleaming long katana protruding from his chest.
At the same time, a mocking voice rang out: "This is the Flying Thunder God Technique: Second Stage!"
Crash!
Obito's body heavily slammed onto the ground, quickly becoming lifeless.
[Ding! Congratulations, Master! Acquired reward: Kamui!]
A trace of excitement surfaced on Mirai Uchiha's face.
Never expected to obtain his desired ability on the second attempt. It felt exhilarating.
Now, he only needed to steal the "Intangibility" ability, and he would finally possess the coveted "Dual Kamui" he had always dreamed of in his past life!
Soon, Obito's figure reappeared.
This time, the moment he materialized, he immediately turned his body intangible.
Losing two lifelines so quickly nearly drove Obito into complete breakdown and madness.
The confidence he had painstakingly built up was now completely shattered.
He had thought this mission would be his best chance to make a name for himself in the ninja world, but unexpectedly, Mirai Uchiha had cost him his life twice in such a short time.
Everything seemed to have changed, yet somehow, nothing had changed at all.
"No! I am the world's savior—I absolutely cannot give up now."
Obito Uchiha steeled himself against the fear in his heart and continued maintaining his Intangibility.
As long as he showed no weakness, his opponent could do nothing to him.
With two Kamui, he was the one truly in control.
As Obito Uchiha was lost in his thoughts, Mirai Uchiha suddenly reappeared beside him.
"Here we go!"
Obito tensed, closely watching Mirai Uchiha's movements.
This time, he had kept his Intangibility active all along—there was no way his opponent could land a blow.
As long as he seized that fleeting moment of opportunity, victory would surely be his.
[Rasengan!]
Seeing the attack pass straight through his body, Obito felt his heart leap.
The chance had finally come!
He reached out toward Mirai Uchiha. "I win."
Just as Obito's hand was about to touch Mirai's body, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his chest.
Moments later, a fist-sized hole appeared where his heart should have been.
"How is this possible?! I was maintaining Intangibility the entire time!"
Obito's eyes widened in disbelief.
Mirai's attack had clearly passed through his body—how could it still hurt him?!
Looking into the equally crimson Mangekyo Sharingan eyes of Mirai Uchiha, Obito suddenly felt a chill run through him.
Could it be... that guy's Dojutsu can even copy the abilities of another Mangekyo Sharingan?!
