This sudden change immediately aroused the curiosity and attention of the surrounding Konoha villagers.
What's causing this fog?
"Has someone's house caught fire? It's so hot!"
"Idiot, it's obviously a ninja battle."
"Huh? Which ninja dares to fight in the village? Aren't they afraid of being captured by the Anbu?"
Soon, a dozen or so villagers, driven by curiosity, gathered around and cautiously approached, wanting to find out what was going on.
"Don't come any closer! It's too dangerous here!"
Kakashi had just issued a warning when the masked man attacked first.
He suddenly rushed towards a villager, who turned pale with fright and was grabbed before he could react.
"Damn it, everyone watching is attacking! Run!"
Other villagers who had come to watch witnessed this scene and scattered in fright like startled birds.
"If you don't want him to die, then you..."
The masked man planned to use this as a hostage to threaten Kakashi and Obito.
However, before the masked man could finish speaking, his body suddenly twisted strangely, as if swallowed by an invisible vortex.
"What!?"
The masked man was terrified. He hurriedly released the villager and used his invisibility ability to teleport himself to the Divine Might Dimension, thus avoiding the sudden crisis.
"you!"
The masked man abruptly turned to Obito Uchiha, only to see Obito's Sharingan slowly rotating, clearly indicating that the surprise attack had been his doing.
If the masked man hadn't reacted quickly, even a fraction of a second slower, he would have been completely torn apart by the spacetime distortion.
"Hmph, is this all the ninja from Konoha are capable of? Don't they even care about their own village's people?"
Watching the panicked villagers flee, the masked man sneered at Obito.
"What are you saying? This is called attacking where the enemy must defend. I told you to study more, but you insisted on herding cattle."
Obito wore a helpless expression, seemingly expressing deep concern about the masked man's intelligence.
"Quite the smooth talker"
The masked man scoffed.
Obito ignored him and instead activated Kamui, teleporting himself and Kakashi into the Kamui dimension.
—Inside the Divine Might Space
It was completely dark, devoid of any light, and enormous cubic structures floated all around.
The Sharingan is the eye that reflects the soul. Obito, in his despair, longed to escape reality, and thus, his Mangekyou Sharingan granted him the power of "Kamui".
An alternate dimension independent of the world
"It seems the Divine Might Space is indeed interconnected."
Obito surveyed his surroundings.
Here, they saw the masked man's true form, which had been etherealized into the Kamui dimension.
"Let's settle this here. We can fight however we want; it won't affect the village, and besides..."
"Forget about using invisibility here. Let's go, Kakashi! Let's have a real fight!"
Obito pointed at the masked man opposite him and issued the order with a heroic air.
Kakashi reluctantly tugged at his mask, then pulled out a kunai from his ninja tool pouch and instantly closed in on the masked man!
The kunai in her hand was pressed straight against the masked man's throat!
The masked man snorted coldly, drawing a long, black staff to meet Kakashi's attack.
This black rod is a product of Yin-Yang Release, possessing both sealing and damaging abilities, and its texture is incredibly hard.
Bang, bang, bang...
The speed at which the two clashed was so fast that it was almost impossible for the naked eye to catch the afterimages!
Intense battle
The black rod collided with the kunai, sparks flying and a blinding light flashing.
Kakashi's attacks were fierce, lightning crackling between his palms. He nearly struck the masked man several times, but each time the man nimbly dodged his attacks at the crucial moment.
It's not blurring, it's just based on speed.
Kakashi realized that his opponent seemed unable to use that mysterious intangibility ability anymore.
He recalled Obito's earlier words.
Is blurring ineffective here?
This is a huge advantage for Kakashi.
The principle of etherealization is to move the physical entity into the Divine Might Space, leaving only a phantom image outside. However, since we are currently in the Divine Might Space, we naturally cannot perform etherealization and transfer again.
However, the reverse is feasible—transferring oneself to reality, thereby achieving a virtualization effect within the Kamui space.
However, Obito would never allow the masked man to succeed so easily, especially in a direct confrontation with Kakashi here.
If the masked man attempts to use intangibility to escape, Obito will immediately reappear in reality and attack his true form.
Clearly, the masked man was well aware of this and had no choice but to temporarily abandon his idea of becoming intangible.
In the blink of an eye, the two had already fought dozens of rounds, with neither able to gain the upper hand.
Their weapons clashed again. Kakashi, suppressing his breath, stared intently at the masked man and questioned him:
"You...are you Obito?"
Even he himself didn't understand why he had such doubts about the other party's identity.
Obito had already died in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge in Konoha 48.
Perhaps it was the words of the young Obito behind him that were at play, or perhaps it was because the masked man denigrated the young Obito as an imposter.
Regardless, Kakashi harbored deep doubts about the masked man's true identity, especially since his eye technique was identical to that of a young Obito.
However, Kakashi's question seemed to have touched a nerve with the masked man.
His power erupted suddenly, defeating Kakashi in one fell swoop. The terrifying force sent Kakashi flying, and then, a long black staff pierced Kakashi's chest like lightning, pinning him firmly to the ground.
Kakashi's eyes widened, and he instinctively grabbed the black rod in front of his chest.
"You're still a useless piece of trash, Kakashi."
The masked man's cold voice rang in my ears.
"You... really are Obito."
Kakashi weakly but stubbornly called out the other person's name.
You are not worthy to utter my name.
Although these words were a rebuke, they indirectly confirmed his identity.
The masked man approached Kakashi, gripped the black rod on Kakashi's chest, and slowly pressed it downwards, intending to end everything.
Just then, a powerful electric current suddenly erupted!
Kakashi vanished instantly, replaced by a surge of electricity.
It instantly swept over the masked man's entire body along his arm!
"Lightning Release Clone Technique?!"
By the time you realize it, it's too late.
The high-frequency current had already spread throughout his body, paralyzing the masked man and rendering him unable to move.
At that moment, a kunai was silently pressed against his throat, and Kakashi's figure appeared eerily behind him.
"You lost, Obito. How does it feel to lose to a piece of trash?"
The masked man trembled uncontrollably, enveloped in electric current.
But his gaze remained stubborn, fixed intently on Kakashi.
"Sigh, come back with me, don't make any more mistakes."
Kakashi patiently persuaded him
The masked man refused to surrender, his eyes gleaming with mockery.
Left with no other option, Kakashi could only knock him unconscious with a hand chop, intending to forcibly take him away.

"Well done, Kakashi!"
