"You..."
Under his mask, Uchiha Obito’s face was filled with shock.
The five-minute limit of Kamui—this was his greatest secret.
With this ability, Obito had defeated countless opponents.
After all, at this stage, very few people could withstand a fight against him for the full five minutes. And every time he made a move, he could reset the timer.
But this time... he had really run into a ghost.
The lessons from their last encounter were still fresh in his mind. When he had a Flying Thunder God seal on him, he didn’t dare act recklessly.
That was why, this time in Konoha, he had stayed hidden inside his Kamui dimension the entire time.
Who would’ve thought that this damn brat would still manage to find him—let alone expose his biggest secret?
And even worse... he had gotten injured by him again?
"You really do love running away."
Haruta had landed a solid hit, but just as he was about to press the attack, he sensed the Flying Thunder God imprint weakening again. He immediately understood—Obito had retreated into the Kamui dimension.
So instead of attacking, he just stood there, looking at Obito with a face full of mockery. His disdain was crystal clear.
"You're really nothing more than a sewer rat. I’ve never met another Uchiha who hides as much as you do."
"Damned brat..."
Obito gritted his teeth.
When had he ever been humiliated like this?
And yet, in front of this kid, he had not only been injured twice but also insulted twice?
His anger was boiling over!
"Aren't you wondering how your secret got exposed?"
Haruta's goal was simple—provoke Obito and force him to fight seriously. If he could make Obito use Mokuton, it would be perfect!
"The last time you showed up, I already noticed something was off. Every now and then, I could sense a strange Flying Thunder God imprint appearing.
Especially during the Chunin Exams, the feeling was incredibly obvious, so I did some calculations."
"...The Chunin Exams?"
Obito's expression flickered.
He immediately understood what Haruta meant.
Back then, he had indeed been watching. But he hadn’t realized he had already exposed himself?
"I just didn’t expect it to be you at the time."
Haruta smirked.
"But after fighting you, I started thinking about it more. And now, your appearance today has given me the answer.
Every jutsu has a limit. And for you, that limit is five minutes!
So now, you have no chance of winning.
What else do you have up your sleeve, ‘rat’?"
Obito fell silent.
He never expected that this was how he had been exposed.
This brat’s instincts were too sharp—his ability to pick up on such subtle details was terrifying!
But Haruta’s words made Obito hesitate.
Originally, he had been considering retreating.
But now...
"Is he provoking me on purpose? Or... is this a warning that I should leave?"
Obito's eyes narrowed. Either way, he was furious.
Being humiliated like this—by this brat, of all people—was unacceptable!
"You think this is all I’ve got?"
Obito’s voice was low and raspy. His chakra surged.
The next moment—he lunged at Haruta!
The bleeding wound on his shoulder had completely healed.
"Let me show you... what else I can do!"
"Shisui, go!"
"Got it!"
Haruta didn’t hesitate.
He gripped a kunai and leaped forward, while behind him, Shisui drew his short blade.
Right now, his only focus was Obito.
Only by taking him down could they set things right!
Buzz—
Haruta charged in first. He didn’t activate his Cursed Seal, but his Yang Release had already begun circulating inside his body.
[Yang Release: Active]
His already powerful physical abilities surged even further. Speed, strength—all of it skyrocketed.
It felt almost like Sage Mode—except Yang Release didn’t enhance jutsu.
"But this is enough."
His kunai gleamed coldly as it slashed toward Obito—but passed right through him.
Damn it, Kamui was as ridiculous as ever.
"Die!"
Obito seized the moment of Haruta’s attack recovery.
A black rod appeared in his hand, and he struck down hard.
"You think you’re the only one who can dodge?"
The black rod smashed down—but only hit an afterimage.
Haruta had already used Flying Thunder God to teleport away!
Shisui followed up immediately, his short blade slashing toward Obito.
"Hmph."
Obito sneered.
He didn’t dodge—just stood there and let the blade fall.
Buzz—
The blade passed right through him. Obito was completely unharmed.
"You think I wouldn’t come up with a countermeasure after you figured out my secret?"
Suddenly—he moved!
Obito lunged forward, grabbing for Shisui.
The moment he did, Shisui felt a sudden, intense pulling force surrounding him.
It was as if something was dragging him in.
But just as quickly as the force appeared, it vanished.
Haruta had teleported right in front of Obito, kunai slashing down again!
The three of them broke apart in an instant.
After a brief exchange, it was as if they had all been attacking empty air—no one had landed a real hit.
"You really are a rat."
Haruta smirked.
"This is your ‘big move’? How underwhelming."
"Hmph."
Obito scoffed. He was about to throw out some harsh words, but before he could—
Haruta suddenly spoke again.
"You know, your jutsu is really interesting.
It’s like you’re constantly running away from reality—it suits you perfectly."
"Shut up, brat..."
Obito’s face darkened instantly.
Shisui glanced between the two, slightly confused, but he didn’t interrupt.
He could tell—Haruta was deliberately provoking Obito.
If they could force him to fight seriously, they would have a real chance!
"I've read reports. I’ve made some deductions."
Haruta continued, completely ignoring Obito's warning.
"You used to be kind-hearted. You valued your bonds deeply.
Kakashi and Nohara Rin were the most important people to you, weren’t they?
I’m guessing you saw Kakashi kill Rin… and that broke you—dragged you into the darkness.
Someone like you… the kinder you once were, the darker you are now.
You probably don’t even believe in the world anymore.
Which is why… your ability matches you perfectly.
Because it lets you escape reality.
Isn’t that right, Uchiha Obito?"
As soon as Haruta finished speaking—silence.
Shisui looked at Obito in disbelief, then turned to Haruta.
Had he read the Mangekyō Sharingan records?
Obito’s body trembled.
Then—he snapped.
He lifted his head, and his blood-red Sharingan locked onto Haruta.
A violent surge of chakra exploded from him, distorting the air itself.
The ground began to shake.
Haruta and Shisui reacted instantly, leaping away.
And in that moment—a massive tree burst from the ground.
Shisui's face was frozen in shock.
Haruta, on the other hand, wore a knowing smirk.
Obito vanished—only to reappear right next to Haruta, a sharp wooden spike forming in his hand.
His voice was a guttural growl, like a demon from hell.
"I told you... shut up!"
...
