Chapter 56 : Obito's Sharingan!!

Pain! 

Hate! 

Regret! 

Anger!

Malice so intense that it felt like it could crush nerves and pierce bones coursed through the air like a pack of ravenous wolves, threatening to tear away all reason.

The tragic death of Nohara Rin, her eyes filled with questions, and the devilish whispers from Uchiha Sogetsu pushed Uchiha Obito to the brink of the abyss.

**Boom!**

Suddenly, something snapped in Obito's mind.

The world in Obito's eyes transformed into a deep shade of scarlet, as if everything was drenched in blood. Nothing seemed the same anymore.

He could see the flight pattern of every bird in the sky, each flap of their wings in slow motion; the swirling dust and gravel became magnified; and the man he despised in front of him became a living map of chakra, revealing the flow of chakra within his body.

Power surged through him!

**"Aahhh!"**

With a primal roar, Uchiha Obito shook off the shackles of control.

He rolled on the ground, barely keeping his balance, and quickly assumed a combat stance, crouching low as if he were a bolt of lightning, darting toward Uchiha Sogetsu.

** Rat → Tiger → Dog → Ox → Rabbit → Tiger!**

**"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"**

Obito rapidly formed the hand seals, releasing dozens of small fireballs from his mouth.

The flying sparks spread in all directions, showcasing their nimbleness, then converged at the target's location.

**Boom!**

A large plume of smoke rose where the fireballs hit.

Out of the smoke stepped Uchiha Sogetsu. Aside from his slightly charred clothing, he seemed unharmed.

**Thump thump thump.**

The sound of footsteps approached. Uchiha Sogetsu caught a glimpse of Obito charging from the corner of his eye.

Obito's kunai lashed out, but Sogetsu dodged just in time. Seizing the moment, he spun in the air and delivered a powerful whip kick, channeling the strength of Konoha's mighty whirlwind!

Obito suddenly dropped down, his movements fluid and quick, showing no signs of the serious injury that seemed to have slowed him moments earlier.

Not only did he dodge the attack, but he also found an opportunity to counterattack. He gripped his kunai with both hands and stabbed upward with all his might, aiming for the opponent's exposed mid-air position.

The target was a crucial spot!

Thwack!

The kunai struck a wooden log.

"Phew, that was close," Uchiha Sogetsu said, pretending to pat his chest in relief. "You almost had me."

"I knew you'd use the Substitution Technique!" Obito said, turning around. Without anyone noticing, he had already formed the Tiger seal. His chest expanded as he took a deep breath: "Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

Whoosh——!

A massive fireball, three meters in diameter, shot forward with intense heat.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!" Uchiha Sogetsu replied, using the same technique.

However, his chakra reserves were much greater than Obito's. His fireball was larger, and its heat was more intense.

Boom! ! !

The two fireballs collided mid-air, and the intense heat wave exploded outward, igniting nearby vegetation.

The ground within a ten-meter radius cracked from the impact, and a visible shockwave swept outward, stirring strong winds and scorching heat.

"How could you kill Rin?" Obito cried, covering his face in anguish. His body trembled, his muscles tensed with rage, and deep hatred flashed through his fingers. "I can't forgive you, Uchiha Sogetsu!"

"Ugh, what an idiot," Uchiha Sogetsu sighed, clearly bored. He was done playing games. 

"Training is over, Obito. Time to snap out of it."

Uchiha Obito had completely lost control. Even as the flames still roared around him, he rushed out as if he couldn't hear the warning. 

His Sharingan eyes glowed with a blood-red hue, the three tomoe spinning wildly with a manic, violent energy. His voice was raw with rage: "I'll kill you!!!"

Obito's Sharingan was active, enhancing his speed and reflexes to a level that made him confident he could take on anyone.

"Really?" Uchiha Sogetsu watched Obito charge at him, his expression turning icy. "Can't you hear me? The training is over."

In an instant, Sogetsu vanished from sight.

Obito felt a sudden chill down his spine as he heard a voice right behind him.

"Time to sleep!"

A swift chop landed on Obito's neck, causing his pupils to dilate and his blood pressure to drop sharply. His vision went dark, and he collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud.

Uchiha Sogetsu clapped his hands and turned to Kakashi, who had been watching nearby. "I'll leave the rest to you. Is that okay?"

Kakashi nodded, albeit with a hint of reluctance. "Yeah, no problem. I'll explain everything to Obito." 

He couldn't help but feel that his involvement today had been somewhat painful.

But it wasn't all bad.

Watching Uchiha Sogetsu's ninjutsu, particularly the Sealless Jutsu, gave Kakashi a new idea for his own jutsu. It sparked something in him, and for that, he felt grateful.

Kakashi expressed his thanks earnestly: "Brother Sogetsu, thanks for the help today."

"Don't mention it," Sogetsu replied, waving him off casually as he walked away, leaving Kakashi to handle the rest.

Kamui Haha. We'll meet soon enough.

It would be a shame to let spatial abilities like Kamui stay with Uchiha Obito.

He stopped and turned to look at the unconscious Obito, smiling slightly. "Thanks for the gift, Obito."

The sun was setting.

Obito, who had been unconscious for who knows how long, finally opened his eyes.

His neck felt as if it were broken, and his bones ached all over, causing him to groan in pain.

Memories started to come back, little by little.

"Rin! Rin!!!"

Obito looked up at the sky and screamed, pounding the ground in anguish: "Ahh, Rin!"

At that moment, a pair of warm hands touched his head gently, and a familiar voice spoke.

"I'm okay, Obito, don't cry."

"Rin? Is that Rin's voice?"

Obito wiped his tears and raised his head.

When he saw Nohara Rin, he was so startled that he almost fainted again. He backed away, using all four limbs, as if he'd seen a ghost.

"Ah! Ah! Are you a human or a ghost?!"

Obito stared at Rin in horror, his face pale.

"Really, Obito, I'm getting angry!"

Nohara Rin puffed out her cheeks in irritation, her hands on her hips, glaring at him with a mock-threatening expression. "Look carefully! Am I a human or a ghost?"

Obito took a while to process it, wiping his eyes and squinting at her for a long time, still in disbelief. "Are you really Rin? But I clearly saw Uchiha Sogetsu slice you in half, just like that, with all the blood!"

He gestured as he spoke.

"Idiot."

Kakashi emerged from the shadows, his face more swollen than before, arms crossed over his chest, and gave Obito a withering look. "We were all deceived. It was just an illusion."

"An illusion?!"

Obito was taken aback, then he looked closely and saw that Rin was indeed alive. But her face was as puffy as a balloon.

"Brother Sogetsu used it to push you."

Kakashi flashed a hint of envy that quickly vanished as he spoke in a cold tone: "Your training paid off. You unlocked the Sharingan."

"Sharingan! That's right!"

Obito's confusion transformed into pure elation: "I've unlocked the Sharingan too! Hahaha!"

"Yeah, you did, idiot."

Kakashi turned away, a look of disdain across his bruised face.
