However, before I could activate my sharingan he was already in front of me, one had to know my sharingan was merely one Tomoe in both eyes and the same with Sasuke but he completely blindsided me both with speed and movement.
This part of the confrontation wasn't expected.
"Youre still too immature Daimon, you've had your fun and learnt the basics, it's up to you to advance that into your weapon…" he said from behind me while another was already in front of me.
As a moment of silence ensued before both of us, sweat pooled on my back in the tension.
"I don't suppose having someone else do It counts?" I asked with great difficulty.
"Surely you jest" he replied in an even colder voice from in front of me.
"You have two years to kill the hokage" he then said from behind me.
"but then I would have to leave the village and forfeit the capture of the nine-tails" I whispered to him as I raised my head up only to find out that at some point, both the masked men In front and behind me were gone leaving behind only the one sitting on the tree away as he stood up and said to me.
"That is up to you to figure out" and then he started warping away using his space time ninjutsu
And that was the only reality check I needed.
No matter how I thought of it, Obito Uchiha was broken, and even, not that the thought of betraying him ever came but it would be impossible for an ordinary shinobi with nothing special about them to defeat him.
Well one had already done it before, I doubt it'd happen again though.
And with that the year started off with a grim reminder that well it was my life or his and considering this world to be as real as anything else can ever be then I choose my life every frigging day.
And so, my training stopped for a while, and my patrol started.
For no good reason to others, I choose to first of all thoroughly discover and map out the structure of the village hidden in the leaf because well I wasn't suicidal, or optimistic on the chance of success at first.
It took me a whole month, but I got it done, next up was a brain work with the Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third hokage.
It took me some months indoor, but I came to the conclusion of it being impossible regardless of what I do to defeat Hiruzen on a one on one in the village on my own.
That was until I came to the conclusion, that I need not necessarily need to fight him on my own or on a one-on-one fight.
However, to do that and leave my fate in the hands of someone else was even more not appealing.
In my thoughts I asked myself what others would try to do, but nothing seemed to appeal, all major golden fingers were quite frankly off the table at this point in time.
What was my advantage? Well, it was that I am an Uchiha.
