Upon hearing Yuzuru ask about matters related to the Mangekyō Sharingan, Obito immediately perked up.
He cast a mysterious glance at Fugaku and lowered his voice. "Lord Yuzuru, I'll only tell you."
Fugaku curled his lips and tactfully excused himself.
Once he was gone, Obito spoke in a hushed tone. "My Mangekyō Sharingan ability is the same as yours, Brother Yuzuru."
Yuzuru raised an eyebrow. "Kamui?"
"That's right." Obito nodded with a smile. "My Mangekyō Sharingan opened up a separate dimension."
"I can freely switch my own body between the ninja world and that dimension."
"It's the same intangibility ability as yours, but it only works on myself."
Hearing this, Yuzuru nodded. "Then what about the other ability?"
"The other one is opening a space-time gate. Anyone can pass through it and enter my dimension."
"I see…" Yuzuru stroked his chin.
It seemed the Mangekyō Sharingan was not only an eye that reflected the heart, but also closely tied to the innate talent of its wielder.
Just like Shisui awakening Kotoamatsukami, and Obito awakening Kamui.
Though there were slight differences from the original, the powers still revolved around spiritual genjutsu and space-time manipulation.
"Obito, your abilities are excellent for survival, but your offensive power is a bit lacking."
Obito scratched the back of his head and laughed. "You've got to keep yourself and your companions alive first before worrying about anything else."
Yuzuru nodded.
It seemed the experiences Obito went through in the illusionary world had left a deep mark on him.
That said, any ability related to space and time was inherently powerful.
Setting aside self-intangibility, opening a space-time gate was already an outstanding dōjutsu.
Although Obito didn't say it outright, Yuzuru could easily imagine it.
The chakra and dōjutsu power required to maintain the gate probably weren't that high.
In other words, Obito could transfer large numbers of people and objects into his dimension in a short time.
This was something the original Kamui could never achieve.
"Obito, take me to your Kamui space for a look."
"Alright."
With a thought, Obito caused a pitch-black spatial portal to appear before them.
"Brother Yuzuru, the size of this portal can also be adjusted based on how much dōjutsu power I use," Obito added casually.
After a brief explanation, he entered the Kamui space together with Yuzuru.
"This place… huh?!"
Upon arriving, Yuzuru was stunned.
Unlike his own Kamui space, which was nothing but endless flat ground, Obito's space was filled with rows of neatly arranged houses.
Though the interiors were completely unfurnished, it was astonishing enough.
"Literal 'move-in ready' housing, huh?" Yuzuru couldn't help but complain.
Clearly, during the illusionary world, Obito's desire to find a new home for everyone had been incredibly strong.
After a brief inspection, Yuzuru confirmed that Obito's Kamui space was completely unrelated to his own.
After secretly leaving a mark from his own Kamui space inside, he returned to the ninja world with Obito.
"Brother Yuzuru, I still have some things to take care of, so I'll head out first."
With that, Obito used the Body Flicker Technique and vanished on the spot.

"Kakashi, accept my challenge!"
Might Guy, clad in a green jumpsuit, stood in front of Kakashi with burning enthusiasm.
Kakashi closed the book in his hand and extended his fist. "Then let's decide the winner with rock-paper-scissors today."
"Rock-paper-scissors again?"
Guy puffed up his cheeks in displeasure, leaving Kakashi momentarily speechless.
"Kakashi!"
At that moment, Obito's voice came from behind them.
Kakashi and Guy turned around, only to see Obito throw his arms wide and pull Kakashi into a tight hug.
"Kakashi, it's really great to see you again."
"Uh… Obito, a-are you okay?"
Kakashi stiffened instantly, a bead of cold sweat sliding down his chin.
Even in life-or-death battles, he had never felt this tense.
Obito excitedly grabbed Kakashi's shoulders. "Kakashi, let's spar!"
"This time, Thick Brows, you're joining too."
After experiencing the illusionary world, Obito had gained a much greater appreciation for Guy as well.
Brother Yuzuru said everything in that world was derived from reality—did that mean Guy's strength was far beyond what anyone could imagine?
Yet for the first time, the ever-passionate Guy hesitated.
He asked uncertainly, "Obito, why are you suddenly so fired up?"
Obito rushing over to hug Kakashi had startled him too—he was afraid he'd be next.
Obito proudly pointed at his eyes. "I've awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan. My strength is terrifying now."
"What?!"
Kakashi and Guy gaped in unison.
Mangekyō Sharingan?
"Weren't you still at the three-tomoe Sharingan yesterday?"
"What happened?"
Obito shook his head. "That's a secret. I can't tell anyone, so don't ask."
"From now on, I'm the strongest among the three of us!"
Hearing this, Guy clenched his fists in excitement and shouted, "This feeling of chasing and being chased is so moving! This is youth!"
"Obito, so you were a genius disguised as a dead last."
"Fight me! I can't wait to defeat you!"
Obito's mouth twitched.
What do you mean a genius disguised as a dead last?
Did I even need to disguise myself?
No—wait—I'm not a dead last at all!
Kakashi, rarely fired up himself, tucked his book away.
"Obito, let's head to the training grounds right now!"
Watching the three of them leave, Yuzuru shook his head with a smile.
Including himself, the Uchiha clan now possessed four pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan. The reconstruction within the Land of Lightning was nearly complete, and the new generation of ninja had already grown up.
With the Land of Lightning's strength now sufficient to crush anything in its path, it was finally time to put the plan to reclaim Konoha back on the agenda.
