Naruto: The Fall of the Uchiha - Chapter 72
What’s happening?
Obito Uchiha, who had been contemplating the true identity of the person before him, was suddenly stunned, staring in disbelief at Uchiha Jin, who was trying to threaten him with the graves of the dead.
Even if these were the graves of Madara Uchiha’s comrades, what did it have to do with him, Obito Uchiha?
I, Obito, never yield to threats!
Hahahaha…
Accompanied by a head-holding, skyward laugh, Obito’s voice, filled with arrogance, exploded. An immense aura radiated unchecked.
“Do you think you can threaten me, Madara Uchiha, with this!”
Beneath the mask, Obito’s face was full of scorn, his Mangeky? Sharingan tightly locked onto every move Uchiha Jin made.
Obito appeared here to test the abilities of Jin’s newly awakened Mangeky? Sharingan.
Obito, who wielded Kamui and effortlessly roamed the ninja world, understood the terrifying potential of the Mangeky? Sharingan, particularly abilities like Shisui Uchiha’s Kotoamatsukami.
When White Zetsu brought back information about Shisui’s eye technique, Obito didn’t dare step near the Uchiha clan territory.
Obito knew well the strange and powerful nature of the Mangeky? Sharingan.
Carrying the grand dream of creating a world where Rin existed, Obito couldn’t risk relying solely on his strong will and Izanagi.
Even if the chance was slim, Obito wouldn’t take the risk.
Luckily.
Shisui Uchiha died in the internal strife of Konoha, and his Kotoamatsukami was destroyed along with him…
A disgrace to the Mangeky? Sharingan!
But Obito hadn’t expected that just after Shisui’s death, three new pairs of Mangeky? Sharingan emerged from the Uchiha clan, which he had deemed worthless.
Damn!
As the brightest new star among them, Uchiha Jin had easily disrupted the entire Konoha. How could Obito not care?
Recently awakened Mangeky? Sharingan capable of summoning such a powerful Susanoo? Obito speculated that there must be a technique enhancing it.
Additionally.
What Obito cared most about.
A Mangeky? Sharingan technique that seemed to target the soul…
Having just escaped the shadow of Kotoamatsukami, Obito was wary of another potential threat.
But investigating Jin was necessary.
Considering Jin’s strained relationship with the Hokage’s faction, Obito thought he might have a chance to recruit him.
And with Madara Uchiha’s identity, convincing a “Jade Crush Faction” Uchiha should be easy.
Obito felt he could use Jin’s power to further his own goals.
But just as he was about to make his move, he realized there were unexpected secrets.
A figure similar to Madara Uchiha?
However!
After a brief exchange, Obito acknowledged Jin’s strength but believed he couldn’t handle Obito with White Zetsu and Kamui.
Moreover, using such a crude threat suggested Jin couldn’t really deal with him, boosting Obito’s confidence.
A perfect start, this game I cannot lose!
With unyielding belief, Obito felt invincible like Madara in the Warring States period, his eyes filled with arrogance and contempt.
“Madara Uchiha!”
Jin suddenly shouted, his face showing exaggerated shock, disbelief evident as he yelled again.
“I don’t believe it! You, who valued them above all, I don’t believe you can ignore this!”
Hahahaha…
Obito laughed lightly, his eyes growing more disdainful.
“I, Madara Uchiha (Obito), never yield to threats!”
Seeing Jin trying to threaten him with the graves of the Shimura clan, Obito felt both amused and scornful.
But to maintain his strong front and ensure his plan to recruit Jin went smoothly, Obito nonchalantly stayed put, letting the dirt scatter on him.
“Don’t be naive!”
Obito didn’t expect Jin actually to do something so despicable, but to maintain his aloof demeanor, he stood still, allowing the dirt to fall.
“I, Madara Uchiha, never yield to threats. How could such a trivial thing threaten me, Uchiha… What!”
Just as Obito was about to crush Jin’s hope and recruit him under the guise of Madara, the scene before him froze him in place.
This tombstone seems familiar…
With his Mangeky? Sharingan’s dynamic vision, Obito easily saw the shattered tombstone and the engraved words.
Uchiha… Obito…
What!
That’s my tombstone!
Obito’s Mangeky? Sharingan narrowed, realization hitting him like a truck.
Next to the Shimura clan’s tombstones is… his own tombstone… and beside his…
Rin!
Rumble!
Immense chakra exploded from Obito, blue chakra like a frightened beast roaring toward Jin.
But rage turned to cold fear!
Though his killing intent was endless, Obito didn’t dare move. Because just twenty meters ahead, Jin stood with his Susanoo ‘accidentally’ crushing Obito’s grave, stopping right by Rin’s tombstone.
With Susanoo’s terrifying power, any further movement could lead to consequences Obito couldn’t bear.
Whew…
Jin smiled, relieved, his eyes filled with triumph as he spoke loudly.
“It seems the rumors were true. Madara Uchiha indeed values bonds!”
“What do you want!”
Though his eyes were filled with killing intent, Obito felt relieved that Jin didn’t know his true identity.
He’d show him true pain and despair if he could lure Jin away from Rin’s grave.
“Maybe…”
Jin’s response was a casual suggestion, like a request between friends.
“Why don’t you kneel for me?”
