Chapter 127 - Chapter 127: There Is No Way to Struggle Anymore—Just Accept Your Fate!

Chat Group

Lucas: @Namikaze Minato, prepare on your end. If you really can't make it in time, leave a clone behind. Get ready, I'm summoning you to clean up your own mess.

Namikaze Minato: You want me to do it?

Lucas: If you don't want to handle it yourself, I can take care of him for you.

Namikaze Minato: Forget it! He's my disciple, after all. I'll personally send him on his way! I failed to stop him during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and today… I'll correct my mistake!

Lucas: Alright! Honestly, it was a shame that your fight back then ended the way it ended

Real World

Lucas looked at Uchiha Obito and take out a special marked three prong kunai, then he throw the kunai.

"Swish!"

A figure came light a yellow blur, Namikaze Minato appeared.

"Obito, long time no see."

His voice carried a complex emotion as he looked at the masked man before him.

Underneath the mask, Obito's lone visible eye flickered with an unreadable expression.

"Sensei… I didn't expect you to be reincarnated."

That night—the night of the Nine-Tails attack—Obito had been certain of his own superiority.

With his Kamui, enhanced body from Senju Hashirama's cells, and control over the Nine-Tails, he had believed it would be easy to defeat his former teacher.

Yet, reality had proven otherwise.

Namikaze Minato's mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique combined with Rasengan had crushed his arrogance. That battle had been a harsh lesson, forcing him to acknowledge that there were always stronger opponents.

If not for the fact that he had been wearing the White Zetsu armor, his body augmented with Hashirama's cells, he might not have survived Minato's Rasengan.

It was in that moment that Obito realized his biggest flaw—a lack of real combat experience.

No matter how precious the training videos left by Uchiha Madara were, watching recordings could never compare to countless life-and-death battles against someone like Namikaze Minato.

Obito's voice was low but filled with confidence.

"This time… it won't be so easy for you to defeat me."

He had lost the space-time ninjutsu battle back then. But over the years, he had continuously refined his strength. Meanwhile, Minato had been dead. A dead man couldn't grow stronger.

Minato sighed, pulling out a kunai.

"Obito… I really didn't want you to walk this path."

His voice carried genuine regret.

"I always believed that you could become Hokage."

In an instant—Flying Thunder God Technique!

Minato vanished from his spot and reappeared right in front of Obito. The kunai in his hand was pressed against his disciple's throat.

Obito's eye widened in shock.

"How?!"

How had Minato gotten so close so quickly?!

Minato gazed at him with sorrowful eyes and spoke calmly.

"Back during the Nine-Tails attack… I left a Flying Thunder God mark on you."

"The mark never disappears."

Senju Tobirama: Fourth Hokage! If you left your mark on him that night, why didn't you just kill him back then?!

Senju Hashirama: Yeah! You had the ability to appear next to him at any time. Why not take him out the moment he let his guard down?

Namikaze Minato: Because when I defeated him that night, the Nine-Tails was still rampaging in Konoha. I had to conserve chakra to deal with it, so I let him go momentarily. After all, he had already chosen to retreat and no longer posed an immediate threat.

Lucas: And then… you found out Kushina was dead, got emotional, and kill yourself.

Namikaze Minato: Uh…

Senju Tobirama: If you put it that way, Naruto should resent you. You knew the threat Obito posed and had the means to eliminate him, yet you left that responsibility to a newborn.

Namikaze Minato: Hahaha… (Awkward laugh)

Lucas: Relax, this is just basic Konoha protocol.

Fire Fist Ace: This is basic protocol?!

Lucas: Yeah! Uchiha Itachi killed his entire clan, including his parents, all for his little brother. Uchiha Obito slaughtered his village and nearly destroyed the world just because of his childhood crush. Compared to them, Minato sacrificing himself for his wife, his village, and his son is barely even worth mentioning.

Namikaze Minato: …

Pirate King Roger: You're right! Compared to those two Uchihas, Minato's sacrifice actually seems… pretty mild. By the way, does the Ninja World have a lot of crazy people like this?

Lucas: In the grand scheme of things, there aren't too many of them. But among the people who reach the peak of the ninja world? Oh yeah, there are plenty.

Golden Lion Shiki: Hahahaha! Bro-con, secret crush, wife-obsessed maniacs… These types of people really are fascinating. They'll do anything for their obsessions!

Real World

Uchiha Obito's body gradually became illusory before reappearing, completely intact, a short distance away.

Namikaze Minato's expression stiffened. "Izanagi? No… why isn't his Sharingan blind?"

His disbelief deepened. "Could it be that after obtaining Senju Hashirama's cells, using Izanagi no longer results in blindness?"

Lucas smirked. "No. The reason his Sharingan isn't blind is simple—he didn't use his own. The one under his mask isn't his original eye. After giving his Sharingan to Hatake Kakashi, he replaced it with another Uchiha's Sharingan."

Obito's voice was cold. "You sure know a lot. But it doesn't matter. Now that I'm on guard, Minato-sensei, you won't be able to kill me with the Flying Thunder God Technique."

With that, Obito violently tore a piece of flesh from his own arm and threw it far away.

On that severed flesh was the Flying Thunder God mark Minato had placed on him.

Minato sighed bitterly. "Troublesome. Without the mark, dealing with him will be much harder."

Even so, Minato's expression quickly turned firm as he prepared for battle.

Obito, however, simply raised his hand.

"Forget it, Minato-sensei. I have no interest in fighting you right now. You should know by now… if I don't want to fight, there's nothing you can do to stop me."

He spoke with complete confidence. Minato had already experienced Kamui's phasing ability firsthand—he believed he could bluff his way out.

And in a way, he was right.

Minato indeed had no direct counter to Kamui's intangibility. But what Obito didn't expect was that Minato had other resources at his disposal.

"Group Leader," Minato said, turning toward Lucas. "I can't stop him if he decides to run."

"His space-time ninjutsu makes him untouchable. I don't know how to counter it."

Minato sighed. "I wanted to settle this myself, but it looks like you'll have to handle him."

At this, Obito turned toward Lucas and felt an ominous chill when he saw Lucas watching him with an amused smirk.

Lucas chuckled. "Relax, dealing with him is simple. His space-time technique has weaknesses. Let me explain—after hearing it, you'll realize he's not as untouchable as he thinks."

As Lucas fixed his gaze on him, Obito subconsciously tensed up, unwilling to make any rash moves.

Lucas then began explaining.

"His Mangekyō Sharingan ability is called Kamui. Each of his eyes has a different function.

His right eye allows him to absorb objects into a different dimension and also lets him phase through attacks by transferring parts of his body into that dimension.

The reason your attacks passed through him, Minato, is that his real body wasn't even in the physical world—it was in his dimension. The part of him you saw was merely an afterimage."

Minato's eyes narrowed. "That explains why none of my attacks landed. His real self wasn't even there."

Golden Lion Shiki: That ability sounds just like the Logia-type Devil Fruits that allow users to turn into elements! Except instead of fire or smoke, his element is… space itself?

Pirate King Roger: Then can't we just use Haki to hit him? The group leader should try it!

Whitebeard: That's not possible. He's not an actual Devil Fruit user.

Senju Tobirama: There's no such thing as an invincible technique. There has to be a weakness!

Real World

Lucas nodded. "And there is one. You can counter Kamui's intangibility simply by attacking him nonstop for five minutes."

Minato frowned. "Why five minutes?"

Lucas smirked. "Because Kamui is a Mangekyō Sharingan ability, and like all Mangekyō techniques, it drains pupil power. Even with Senju Hashirama's cells aiding his recovery, he still needs time to replenish it.

If you can keep him phasing for a full five minutes, his Mangekyō will completely burn out, and he won't be able to phase anymore."

Minato's eyes widened in realization. "So that's why he prepared an extra Sharingan to use for Izanagi—because his Mangekyō's power would be exhausted."

Lucas nodded. "Exactly. The time Izanagi buys him allows his Hashirama cells to restore just enough power for him to keep using Kamui."

Minato sighed. "Kamui really is a near-invincible ability… But keeping up an attack for five minutes straight is difficult. I may have unlimited chakra now, but even then, it won't be easy."

Lucas shrugged. "No problem, there's another way to deal with him."

Minato perked up. "What way?"

Lucas smirked. "His Kamui teleports him into another dimension, right? But his afterimage still appears in this world before he fully disappears. To fully shift into the alternate dimension, he needs at least ten seconds. During that ten-second period, he's completely vulnerable to attacks."

Minato's eyes lit up. "That's perfect!"

Chat Group

Senju Tobirama: Hah! So it takes him ten seconds to fully teleport? That's a huge flaw!

Lucas: It's only that slow because he has one eye. If he had both, he could fully teleport in under three seconds.

Senju Tobirama: NANI?! THREE SECONDS?!

Senju Hashirama: That's terrifying…

Lucas: It wasn't that powerful before. The only reason Kamui is so ridiculously strong now is because he has Hashirama's cells. They allow him to continuously regenerate pupil power, making Kamui abusable instead of something he has to use sparingly.

Uchiha Shisui: That makes sense! Without Hashirama's cells, Mangekyō Sharingan is risky to use. The more you use it, the faster you go blind. Without Hashirama's cells, Obito's eyes would have burned out long ago.

Senju Hashirama: Hahaha! My cells really are amazing!

Uchiha Madara: @Senju Hashirama, can you stop being an idiot for once?

Senju Hashirama: I'm just a little amazed that my Senju cells and the Uchiha's eyes together could create such a broken ability!

Real World

Minato asked, "Leader, isn't there a faster way? Five minutes is too long—it doesn't suit my fighting style."

Minato was all about speed. In all his past battles, fights had been decided in an instant. Dragging things out for five minutes wasn't his style.

Lucas smirked. "If you don't want to waste time, just go back to Konoha and grab Kakashi's Sharingan. With his Mangekyō Sharingans, you can open the same dimension and send a Shadow Clone inside to ambush him."

Obito fell silent.

After hearing Lucas expose every single one of his weaknesses, he knew it was over.

There was no way he could escape.

Finally, he let out a defeated sigh and sat down.

"…I give up."

He had no way to struggle anymore.

All he could do was accept his fate.
