Chapter – 438 Two Kamui

Kamui Dimension

Kakashi and Tobi suddenly appeared in the Kamui dimension and collapsed on the ground.

Because of the linkage of Kamui; Kakashi was still able to maintain a degree of consciousness and was taken aback when he noticed Tobi too appearing in the same dimension as him.

At the same time, Kakashi realized that the Dojutsu he used and the Jutsu that the other party uses are almost similar; or rather they are both the same Dojutsu; which means that Tobi also uses Kamui, 'But how is this even possible?' was Kakashi's thought as he tried his hardest to stand up, he needs some answers and Tobi is the one who is going to give them to him.

Unfortunately for Kakashi; neither did he have enough strength, nor did he have enough opportunity, as he was suddenly kicked in the face and lost consciousness.

"Haah haah…" Tobi let out a sigh of relief.

Had Kakashi continued to fight, he might have been able to figure out the true identity of the person behind the mask, and Tobi obviously doesn't want that to happen.

'Who would have thought, on that accursed day, not only my right eye but even the left eye turned into Mangekyou Sharingan… this was far beyond even my expectations.' Thought Tobi as he started to walk towards Kakashi who had rolled over a little further because of the kick he received in the face.

"No wonder my right eye feels restless sometimes, the original problem lies here… whenever he tries to activate the Mangekyou Sharingan it causes some sort of induction in my right eye." Muttered Tobi as he looked at the fainted Kakashi.

If ordinary people are subjected to 'Kamui' and transferred into the Kamui Dimension, then because of the shift of time and space; the body becomes temporarily paralyzed and the person experiences short-term backout in consciousness.

This is also the reason why he doesn't need to put too much effort into dealing with his targets, once they are thrown into Kamui Dimension; it's all over for them.

After all, in the fight between shinobi, even a small mistake or inadvertent daze is equivalent to life and death; not to mention a short-term blackout in consciousness which will almost certainly result in death.

The only reason why Kakashi did not immediately lose consciousness after the shuttle through space-time was because of the protection provided by Kamui.

Therefore, Tobi was certain that the Dojutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan in Kakashi's eyes is also Kamui.

At this time, Tobi removed his spiral mask revealing his true face; forehead covered with a bandage, and several scars on the left side of his face… this is his true face, the true face of Uchiha Obito.

Clang clang…

Obito tossed aside the mask, then bent down to reach out for his left eye in Kakashi's left eye socket.

Without even a shred of hesitation, Obito dug out the Sharingan that he once gave to Kakashi as a present; then proceeded to directly put that eye into his own left eye socket without even bothering to clean up the blood.

After putting them back into his own eye socket, Obito entered a tranced state and staggered a little.

A few seconds later, he opened his eyes and this time both of his eyes had returned to where they truly belonged and where they will show their true potential.

Sharingan was activated and then turned into Mangekyou Sharingan… Obito raised his hand to cover his left eye and muttered in a realization, "So that's how it is."

'Kamui' is the Dojutsu of both of his Mangekyou Sharingan but their specific roles are quite different.

The 'Kamui' of the right eye is a short-range version where the user needs to personally touch the object or person, he wants to transfer to the Kamui dimension. In a way, it can be said that this Kamui is heavily focused on defense as it also grants the user intangibility, making the user immune to all physical and spiritual attacks in the intangible state. Short-range Kamui is the true ultimate defense.

While the 'Kamui' of the left eye is different; it is the long-range version, with the Kamui of the left eye, the user need not be in close touch with the targeted object or person, the target needs to be in the field of vision of the user and he will be transferred to the Kamui dimension; In a similar way, it can be said that this Kamui is heavily focused towards attack as it allows the user to attack, shred, tear, and distort the objects in their field of vision be small or large as well as transfer them to the Kamui dimension, Long-range Kamui is the true ultimate attack.

"Unexpectedly, the attack power of Kamui is in the left eye that I gave to Kakashi." Muttered Obito in understanding then closed his eye.

Having achieved his purpose for coming to Konoha this time, Obito then glanced at Kakashi who lay on the ground unconscious and bloody-eyed.

Obito drew out a Kunai from under his sleeve and squatted next to Kakashi.

Kunai's cold light reached Kakashi's throat, as Obito said indifferently, "Kakashi, this time I won."

And then started to slowly cut Kakashi's throat, "You have lived a life of hell Kakashi, I shall give you peace."

As blood started to come out of the cut, Obito remembered Kakashi's words from their battle some time ago, "What was it that you said? 'A shinobi must always endure, no matter how much suffering, he must endure, we live to endure this pain, death is nothing but an escape!' were your words Kakashi…" Speaking so, Obito stopped the Kunai, and shouted while clutching Kakashi's collar with both of his hands, "You broke your promise to me Kakashi, you did not protect Rin… There was only one thing I entrusted to you but you failed to do just that, heck even I failed to reach there in time, now tell me, Kakashi, how am I supposed to endure this reality? Why are you silent, huh? Answer me Kakashi, answer me!"

"haah… haah…" after venting out a little, Obito calmed down, then put away the Kunai and said, "You said that we live to endure, then I shall allow you show me…"

Then without waiting for even a second, he threw the unconscious, bloody-eyed, and bleeding Kakashi back to the training field. "Show me how you live in this accursed reality, Kakashi, you have until I have gathered all the nine Bijuu and resurrected Juubi, if you don't show me anything worth it, I shall reflect the light of Infinite Tsukuyomi on the moon and cover this accursed reality in a Genjutsu world for all eternity!"

…

In Konoha

As the alliance ceremony was about to finally begin, Konoha's citizens were gathering near the Hokage Tower one-after-another.

On the roof of the Hokage Building.

Sandaime Hokage in his Hokage Cloak held his tobacco pipe in one hand and the other and the other over his chest and was looking at the bustling village in front of him with a mild smile.

According to the new plan that he has devised to deal with the Akatsuki Organization, the alliance with the surrounding village is very important.

Alliance with the surrounding villages will not only decrease the hostility with the nations around the Land of Fire but also reduce the pressure on Konoha to deploy more shinobi on the border of the Land of Fire. This way, much of the manpower can be withdrawn from the border and deployed in important areas within the Land of Fire.

Standing behind Sandaime Hokage are the two Konoha Council Advisors, Elder Homura, Elder Koharu as well as Jonin Commander Nara Shikaku.

For important diplomatic matters such as the alliance ceremony, members of the Council are bound to attend, but the fourth advisor, Elder Danzo from the Anbu did not show up for certain reasons, but no one truly minded his absence.

In the large square below, Uchiha Sasuke followed his father; Uchiha Fugaku; Captain of the Konoha Military Police Force with a look of excitement on his face, his black eyes kept looking around and his face was full of curiosity.

Looking at Sasuke's excited look, his mother Mikoto sighed, "Sasuke-kun, don't run around carelessly."

But Sasuke paid no attention to his mother's words, this is the first time he has seen an event such as this one; as such he was very curious about many things, and said to his father, "Otou-sama, the village is very lively today."

"Yes." Fugaku nodded with a distracted tone, his gaze was directed towards a few figures standing at the entrance of the Hokage building, the people Fugaku was looking at were not Hokage and his advisors, but rather four Kunoichi standing at the entrance the Hokage building.

Fugaku was looking at none other than the Slug Sannin Tsunade and her three female apprentices.

According to the agreement with Senju Tsunade, Uchiha Izumi of the Uchiha Clan was accepted as an apprentice by Tsunade. This is another step taken by the Uchiha Clan toward reconciliation with the Hokage Faction.

The decision of choosing Uchiha Izumi out of the many Kunoichi was made by the clan after much deliberation; especially after considering her closeness and relationship with Itachi. Over the years, Fugaku, or rather his wife Mikoto has come to understand that their elder son Itachi holds romantic feelings towards Izumi; Itachi may not have been explicit about his feelings, but nothing escapes the eyes of a keen mother.

So, after considering various angles, the Uchiha Clan Council finalized Uchiha Izumi to be their future marriage partner for Itachi. The news hasn't been made public yet and very few people know of this decision, but both Itachi and Izumi are aware of it, and both did not pose any opposition.

Suddenly, Sasuke pulled the cuff of Fugaku's shirt, and said, "Look Otou-sama, the Hyuga Clan is here too!"

Sasuke's words pulled Fugaku out of his thoughts, and he turned towards the direction pointed by Sasuke only to notice the Hyuga brothers as well as their children, Hyuga Neji, Hyuga Hinata, and the little Hyuga Hanabi along with her caretaker; Hyuga Natsu.

The Hyuga brothers also noticed Fugaku's gaze and nodded in greeting; Fugaku and Mikoto nodded back toward them.

At this time, Sasuke asked again, "Oka-san, that kid with long brown hair and Byakugan is Hyuga Neji, right?"

Mikoto looked in the direction of the child pointed by Sasuke, and nodded lightly, "Yes, he is said to be a very gifted child."

'So that's Hyuga Neji.' Fugaku thought with a bit of interest because he too has heard of the rumors about the prodigal talent of Hyuga Neji, but it was just some degree of interest because when it comes to talent the Uchiha Clan is no short of geniuses.

Aside from Uchiha Shisui who is undoubtedly one of the most geniuses Shinobi in the history of Konoha, there is also his elder son Itachi whose talent is almost equivalent to or perhaps even superior to Shisui.

Listening to his mother's words, Sasuke muttered to himself, "Is he really that gifted?"
