Chapter 126: Chapter 126 Kakashi Sees Through Obito, The Fetters Are Gone
"Jiraiya ran away??
But it's a good thing that troublesome toad is gone!"
Black Zetsu and White Zetsu looked at Kakashi, who was now alone, and exclaimed. They dove into the ground to sense their surroundings.
Just now, they hadn't realized that the person they were facing was a Shadow Clone.
"Go all out!"
As soon as Kakashi landed, he let out a low growl and quickly opened the Eight Inner Gates, reaching the Fourth Gate state.
Facing so many powerful enemies, hiding his true strength would be courting death!
Above the sky, the C2 clay dragon, seeing Kakashi open the Eight Inner Gates, dropped dozens of mine bombs around him.
"Useless!"
Kakashi, surrounded by a green light, tightened the White Fang Short Sword in his hand and shouted angrily. His figure vanished in an instant.
Almost simultaneously, Kakashi appeared beside Kakuzu. The White Chakra Short Sword flashed like a bolt of lightning.
Even Kakuzu, with his Kage-level strength, could only be cut in the chest by Kakashi in an instant, like a wooden stake, and his heart was shattered.
Kakashi, who had struck Kakuzu, didn't even bother to check the result. His figure quickly appeared in front of the Scorpion's Scarlet Amber puppet.
The white sword glow surged with even more lightning-charged Chakra, shattering the Scarlet Flowing Hu with a single blow.
Without losing momentum, Kakashi immediately swung his sword and charged towards the Dried Persimmon Ghost Shark.
At that moment, the sound of an explosion came from the spot where Kakashi had been standing just moments before.
This was the true strength of Kage-level Kakashi, combining his Eight Inner Gates power with the Hatake Sword Technique, fully demonstrating the ultimate principle of speed and invincibility.
"Is this the situation that my parents faced back then?"
"The speed-type physical ninjas are indeed the nemesis of puppeteers.
Hatake Kakashi, you didn't use this sword technique before. I almost forgot you are the son of Konoha's White Fang!"
A black figure suddenly emerged from the shattered Crimson Amber. His eyes were cold as he took out a scroll and opened it, speaking with murderous intent.
This was the true body of the Scorpion—his real body was merely the core inside his chest!
With a bang, hundreds of human puppets in red robes, each holding different weapons, appeared densely around the Scorpion.
When the Scorpion summoned the puppets, Kakashi's White Fang Short Sword had already slashed in front of Hoshigaki Kisame.
Thanks to the lessons learned from Kakuzu and Scorpion, Kisame had already prepared, barely managing to block Kakashi's deadly blow.
However, Kisame lost one arm in the process.
"Red Secret Technique: Hundred Machine Exercises..."
Seeing Kakashi, the Scorpion activated his Chakra and shouted angrily.
Hundreds of Chakra lines immediately linked to the puppets on his chest, and they rushed toward Kakashi like an activated army.
Faced with the attack of hundreds of puppets, even though Kakashi wanted to deal with Kisame, he was forced to turn around and fight.
Although the puppets controlled by the Scorpion weren't as fast as Kakashi, their numbers and endless hidden weapons made it difficult for Kakashi to avoid them completely.
Meanwhile, Kakuzu, who had his heart destroyed by Kakashi, used the Earth Resentment technique to rise again despite losing his heart.
"Hatake Kakashi, I'll take your heart!"
Kakuzu, infuriated, shouted with bloodthirsty eyes. Three black, masked monsters emerged from his body.
Kakuzu had officially entered Earth Resentment Mode.
With a thought, Kakuzu sent the three masked Earth monsters charging toward Kakashi.
"This guy is so powerful!
And Uncle Scorpion, I didn't expect you to look like a teenager. What a surprise..."
Above the battlefield, Deidara looked down at the chaos below, seeing Scorpion controlling hundreds of puppets, and commented.
Afterward, Deidara controlled the C2 dragon, sending out small bird-shaped clay bombs to sneak attack Kakashi.
Konan didn't let this opportunity go to waste. The paper detonating amulets on her body shot toward Kakashi like snowflakes.
Since Kisame was injured, Uchiha Itachi took advantage of the situation, leading Kisame back and not continuing to engage in the battle.
At this point, Kakashi was starting to tire from dealing with such intense attacks.
In a desperate situation, Kakashi activated Mangekyō Kamui in his left eye with the help of Chakra boosted by the Fourth Gate.
The next moment, under everyone's watchful eyes, Kakashi's figure distorted and disappeared, just like the masked man Obito had done.
This sudden change stunned everyone. They looked at Obito, the masked man, with confusion.
As for the identical technique, shouldn't there be an explanation?
But Obito, the masked man, clearly didn't think so.
Now was a great opportunity to eliminate Kakashi—how could he let it slip?
Obito's body also distorted and disappeared, vanishing in front of everyone.
Kamui space
As soon as Kakashi entered Kamui's space, he was forced to close the Fourth Gate due to overloading from the Eight Inner Gates.
At this moment, the masked man Obito also entered this space.
"Oops!
It turns out you're already exhausted...
I was ready to throw you out and let them kill you, but it seems there's no need to bother..."
The masked man Obito looked at Kakashi, who was out of breath and drenched in cold sweat, and said with a hint of mockery in his voice.
"FFF.
Kill me?
Is that all you want me to do, Obito?"**
Kakashi gasped and stared at the masked man Obito, enunciating each word slowly.
Especially the last two words, which he bit out with extreme complexity.
That's right—Kakashi already suspected that this person was Obito!
In this world, others might not know, but he and Naruto knew all too well that his left eye came from Obito.
The same Sharingan might be a coincidence, but the identical Mangekyō pattern and their connection across different spaces were worth thinking about.
Obito's body, however, had never been found.
Most importantly, Kakashi had encountered Naruto, Sako, and Uchiha in this world, all of them contributing to his growing suspicions.
At this point, Kakashi had released all his previous conjectures about this world. He was simply testing the waters for confirmation.
In Kakashi's heart, there was only about 10% doubt about his conclusion.
Obito, who had been about to do something, was stunned by Kakashi's sudden question.
"As expected of you, genius Kakashi!
You figured it out—it's me.
You're going to die anyway, so I don't mind letting you know my identity..."**
The atmosphere grew strangely quiet for about ten seconds before Obito slowly removed his mask, looked at Kakashi, and sighed.
"It's really you!"
Kakashi saw that familiar face again, and his whole body went numb. His eyes widened in horror as he shouted.
To be honest, he had been bluffing...
But reality turned out to be even more absurd than he could have imagined!
Because of Kakashi's previous change, half of Obito's body and right side of his face had been disfigured by the stone.
Now, Obito looked normal on the outside.
Kakashi instantly recognized him!
"How?
Are you really that surprised??
Kakashi, your pathetic technique is average at best!
But it doesn't matter...**
Obito shrugged indifferently and reached out to take Kakashi's left eye.
"Why is it you??
You, the former successor of the Will of Fire...
Why, why did you become like this?
Did you plan the Nine Tails incident that killed Teacher Minato??"**
Kakashi suddenly thought of the Nine Tails incident. His pupils shrank, his heart overwhelmed with emotion. He anxiously looked at Obito and asked.
Kakashi's current mood was far more intense than any past feeling.
The bonds he had once cherished had turned out to be severed by the very person he once knew.
This kind of feeling was something only a few could truly comprehend.
