Amaterasu was still burning.
Uchiha Obito left his original spot and took a step forward.
However, Uchiha Itachi was also controlling the flames of Amaterasu to track Uchiha Obito's movements, starting to spread the range of Amaterasu outward.
Even though Uchiha Itachi was certain that Amaterasu hadn't struck Uchiha Obito, what he wanted now was to ascertain Obito's precise information!
"Itachi, are you still trying to test me?"
Obito's face showed a slight dissatisfaction as he looked at Uchiha Itachi and said, "If you keep probing, you might lose your life!"
Uchiha Itachi stared intently at Obito's movements and spoke coldly, "The power of Uchiha Madara and Senior Obito is absolutely not on the same level, isn't it reasonable for me to consider carefully?"
By judging Obito's actions based on known results, one can find the logic: this guy cannot maintain this hollowfication penetration state for long!
Obito did not know Uchiha Itachi's thoughts and even had some leisure to chat: "Uchiha Madara isn't as powerful as we imagined. As time passes, the abilities of the Mangekyo Sharingan have just been overly hyped within the clan..."
"Is that so?"
Uchiha Itachi went along with his words, continuing to stall for time.
However, there was one thing Uchiha Itachi could be sure of: this Obito's intelligence was still problematic, or his mentality was problematic.
A mere weakling who gained the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan believes himself truly invincible in the world?
A foolish idiot who deems himself an absolute powerhouse!
Sooner or later, he'll be brutally beaten by other strong people!
Uehara Naraku was hidden in a corner, watching Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi from afar. Obito still hadn't realized Uchiha Itachi's plot and was strolling inside the Amaterasu.
This was overly confident, right?
Did Obito forget his Kamui could only last five minutes?
Of course, Uchiha Obito hadn't forgotten; he was just in a difficult position now.
To keep Uchiha Itachi willing to be used by him, Obito could only continue to feign fearlessness of the flames of Amaterasu, to let Uchiha Itachi see the power gap between them!
"Itachi, put away your Amaterasu!
The hollow penetration time of Kamui is decreasing, and Uchiha Obito finally couldn't help but persuade: "Itachi, wasting precious Mangekyo Dojutsu to probe an enemy you cannot fathom is entirely meaningless."
"Maintaining Amaterasu doesn't waste much Dojutsu."
Uchiha Itachi knew in his heart, and he did not heed Obito's advice, a streak of blood tears still flowed slowly from the corner of his eye, continuing to delay time: "Senior's Dojutsu is truly miraculous; it's my first time seeing someone unscathed by Amaterasu."
"..."
Uchiha Obito's face gradually turned unsightly. Whenever he wanted to step outside the range of Amaterasu, the black flames of Amaterasu would follow his steps unwilling to part.
Does this Uchiha Itachi not understand human language?
If this continues, his Kamui penetration time will end.
This trump card will also be easily seen through by Uchiha Itachi!
Facing an ninjutsu prodigy like Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Obito certainly doesn't believe that once Uchiha Itachi discovers a flaw in his jutsu, he won't figure out a way to break the jutsu?
Uchiha Obito's gaze gradually turned unfriendly: "Don't exhaust my patience; even a ninja's endurance is ultimately limited... Uchiha Itachi!"
However, this threat for Uchiha Itachi...
It meant that Uchiha Obito was anxious!
He was anxious, anxious, anxious!
Indeed, the information sent by the Anbu senior was accurate, Obito's hollow penetration state should only last about five to eight minutes.
Obito's duration was nearing its limit!
Uchiha Itachi maintained the Amaterasu Black Flame surrounding Uchiha Obito, counting time in his mind, every second needing precision.
Uchiha Itachi's fingers were tapping against each other, silently counting in his heart: "Four minutes and thirty-five seconds, thirty-six seconds, thirty-seven seconds..."
"Really disobedient child!"
Uchiha Obito's figure flickered as he gradually sank into the earth, using Kamui Space's hollowfication state, he could traverse anywhere.
Only doing so was a bit shameful.
Especially leaving the range of Amaterasu like this would also give Uchiha Itachi a signal that his Kamui hollowfication state couldn't handle sustained attacks for long.
After sinking into the ground, Uchiha Obito began to think; he should be more careful in the future, lest Uchiha Itachi secretly ambush him.
"Four minutes and forty-nine seconds..."
Uchiha Itachi frowned slightly, having lost sight of the target Uchiha Obito within his field of view, making further use of Amaterasu meaningless.
Unexpectedly, this Obito was even more troublesome than imagined!
Suddenly, Uchiha Obito's figure emerged from the ground, a wooden spike extended from his hand, stabbing toward Uchiha Itachi's face!
"Itachi, do not easily test those stronger than you..."
"Water Release: Water Array Wall!"
Uchiha Itachi's hand swiftly formed hand seals, so fast they were almost blurred, and the next moment, a torrent surged from his mouth, forming a defensive ninjutsu!
However, Obito passed through the Water Array Wall like nothing!
Uchiha Itachi furrowed his brows, truly realizing the vexing aspects of fighting Uchiha Obito, the three Tomoe in his eyes spun madly, staring directly at the charging Uchiha Obito.
The Dojutsu of the Mangekyo Sharingan...
Tsukuyomi, activate!
In the next instant, both their figures froze simultaneously!
Before the left-eye Tsukuyomi Dojutsu reflected in Uchiha Obito's eyes, Uchiha Itachi silently executed a hand seal, leaving a clone.
Uehara Naraku watched the battle, raising his alertness towards Uchiha Itachi to the highest: "This Uchiha Itachi is really insidious..."
Perhaps that clone could become the key to victory!
A second later, Uchiha Itachi covered his left eye, a trace of blood seeped through his fingers: "It seems senior's Dojutsu indeed cannot counter illusions..."
They had clashed in Tsukuyomi's illusory space, neither gaining an advantage, Uchiha Itachi handled illusions skillfully.
Yet, Uchiha Obito seemed to know some information about Tsukuyomi and could endure the endless pain within Tsukuyomi, even finding a chance to break it!
Even so, Obito's spirit was severely damaged!
Uchiha Obito knelt on one knee, clutching his eye with a more serious tone in his voice: "That was Tsukuyomi's illusion world just now? It seems after Uchiha Shisui's death, you are the world's strongest illusion ninja..."
Just as Uchiha Obito's words were unfinished, Uchiha Itachi's crow clone suddenly appeared behind him, effortlessly piercing Obito's body with a kunai!
Uchiha Obito looked disbelievingly at the kunai piercing through his chest!
"Looks like I guessed right."
Uchiha Itachi looked at Uchiha Obito and said softly, "After experiencing the pain of the illusion, senior seemed not to even consider using his Dojutsu again..."
"Bastard..."
Uchiha Obito could only glare bitterly at the calm junior opposite him, gritting his teeth and retreating hurriedly with his gravely wounded body!
They both suffered in the illusion confrontation.
The mental backlash on Uchiha Obito was severe; how could he have thought to continue using his Mangekyo Sharingan to maintain his hollowfication after the illusion battle?
This Uchiha Itachi, though injured in spirit due to Tsukuyomi being broken, could still nonchalantly release a crow clone to attack?
Or was it set up before using the Tsukuyomi Dojutsu?
Genius ninjas are indeed all insidious and cunning!
Hatake Kakashi is like that, so is Uchiha Itachi.
At any time, they will not give up on probing and attacking opportunities.
Although Uchiha Itachi clearly had the advantage, he dared not to be complacent; facing an enigmatic Mangekyo Sharingan user, Uchiha Itachi did not have absolute confidence.
After all, Uchiha Obito could still use Izanagi; breaking Izanagi with only Izanami, Uchiha Itachi thought it too uneconomical.
Moreover, he also needed to preserve his own strength.
He must save his power until Sasuke grows up.
Uchiha Obito did not know Uchiha Itachi's plans; the only card he had left was Izanagi.
Obito's eyes were harshly staring at Uchiha Itachi, his previously lofty attitude gone: "Uchiha Itachi, are you betraying me too?"
