Swish!
Old Obito still grabbed at nothing but air, the position where Young Obito was, he still didn't grab anything.
Young Obito was neither in the real world nor in any Kamui space.
Old Obito was shocked, "How is it possible! Just now… you didn't phase out?"
Swish!
At the spot where Old Obito had grabbed empty air just now, Young Obito's voice sounded again.
"Is that so? Maybe it's just that your phasing ability hasn't been trained enough."
"Did you think you could rely on this kind of fake surrender but actually sneak attack method to seize my eye?"
"But this move, I've already played it before."
While Old Obito was in shock, he began to carefully sense.
No mistake, the one speaking in front of him was indeed Young Obito himself.
But just now, then why did he grab nothing?
Even though he knew all of this might have already been seen through by Young Obito, even though he knew his odds of winning were pitifully low, but… even if it was like a moth flying into the flame, he still wanted to try.
He fiercely flung his body out, pouncing again towards Young Obito's position.
Swish!
This determined pounce still hit nothing but air, his body fell onto the muddy ground, looking rather miserable.
Never before had Old Obito felt so clearly the hateful nature of the phasing ability.
This kind of feeling where the opponent was right beside him but he just couldn't touch them, it was really terrible.
What he didn't know was that in the real world, all around him, there were already a dozen Young Obitos standing.
Just now, the target Old Obito attacked was merely one of Young Obito's shadow bodies.
Young Obito could teleport away from that shadow body at any time, and likewise, could appear at any time.
The dozen Young Obitos all looked neatly at Old Obito lying on the ground miserably, their expressions even revealing a bit of sympathy.
Was bullying a blind, disfigured pitiful person like this a bit too much? [T/N: Guys, don't do it irl.]
Then, from all directions, the Young Obitos at various positions, like a voice relay, their voices sounded in Old Obito's ears.
"Give up, your speed can't beat my reaction."
"Even if you did identify my real body, I could use Flying Thunder God to escape before your attack lands."
"Besides, now you can't even identify my real body."
"This is a battle where no matter how hard you try, it's destined to be hopeless."
Old Obito listened to Young Obito's voice coming from various positions, various directions, and bitterly smiled.
"So that's how it is, Shisui's technique, the Phantom Body Flicker?"
"Didn't expect you even learned this technique, this technique, paired with the phasing ability, really fits well."
Young Obito, who had mastered the Flying Thunder God & Phantom Flicker Technique, even if Old Obito's eyes hadn't lost their light, still at full strength, would still be hard to deal with.
Let alone now?
He no longer had the desire to continue fighting, his breath deflated, barely propping himself up a bit with his hands on the rain-soaked muddy ground.
"I… lost?"
Young Obito looked at this scene, this familiar line, and slowly walked up beside him.
"At least, you lost to your own hands."
Old Obito closed his eyes, his face all covered with traces of rainwater soaking it, and lowered his head.
"What are you planning to do, take my eye and merge it into the Eternal Eye?"
Young Obito's gaze flickered, he began to consider this possibility.
After thinking for a while, he said, "A bit of power enhancement might have meaning for someone like you with no one to rely on."
"But for me, it doesn't mean much anymore, I have many ways to achieve a similar effect."
"Besides, if I took your eye, no matter which world's Rin, she'd be sad. Especially the one who's been watching you all along. I don't want to make her sad."
Old Obito's tears couldn't help but flow out, at this moment, the defeated him appeared unusually fragile.
He admitted, "Without seeing Rin one more time, I'm unwilling. I still can't completely lose, completely fall. So in the end, it was still because of Rin that I was saved once, right?"
Young Obito squatted down, looked at Old Obito and said, "Maybe so. Between you and me, actually there was never any need to fight to the death. Actually even now, I don't think you did wrong."
Old Obito shook his head, "The Infinite Tsukuyomi you've successfully launched, you no longer need to have similar thoughts as me. After all, even Minato-sensei and Kushina-nee have forgiven you, haven't they?"
Young Obito's thoughts turned, "So, you went through Konoha once?"
Old Obito said, "Yeah, and exposed a lot of intel, Sasuke really made a mess of everything."
Young Obito frowned, this indeed was a problem.
He couldn't help but look into the distance, where Sasuke and Rin had just left, now, how were the two of them?
———
At this time, on the other side, Sasuke leaned silently against a tree, letting the rain hit him.
Rin held an umbrella, staying by his side.
Seeing this, Rin asked again, "Do you really not need an umbrella? Getting so wet, you'll catch a cold."
Sasuke snorted, "No need to try to please me, the one you should be worried about is your companion."
"Maybe before long, he'll die there, even if he doesn't die, his eyes are already blind."
Rin smiled sweetly, "I don't think that kind of situation will happen."
Sasuke looked at Rin in surprise. When he brought Rin over, the two Obitos hadn't started fighting yet, logically Rin shouldn't know anything.
Sasuke asked, "You know what Obito will experience staying there?"
Rin nodded, "It's just that the two Obitos have some private words they want to say to each other."
Sasuke said, "Looks like you know everything, but do you really think the Obito of your world will win? Whether in age, experience or what he's gone through, he's at a disadvantage, right?"
Rin shook her head, "No, you're wrong, the situation should be the opposite."
This was already the second time Sasuke felt that the people of this world were full of confidence in this world's Obito.
He couldn't help but ask, "So, you just now weren't abandoning him because you encountered danger?"
Rin became confused, looked left, looked right, curiously asked, "Where's the danger?"
Sasuke's face suddenly darkened.
He angrily said, "So, you think I'm not the danger?"
Rin realized, "So the danger is you, your name is Sasuke, right?"
Sasuke froze, didn't refute, which was considered tacit approval of Rin's words.
Rin suddenly remembered, Obito had shared the story of Sasuke and Naruto's love-hate bond.
She couldn't help but grow curious and asked, "Sasuke, I've heard about your story too, I really want to know now, do you actually care more about your brother or more about Naruto?"
