Obito Reborn With Double Kamui

Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Going to the Hatake Household



The Three Basic Jutsu were indeed foundational, but for a first-year student to be able to cast them was quite rare.

Moreover, the reason Obito was able to defeat Guy in one move was because he had perfectly timed his Substitution Jutsu.

If he had used it too early, Guy would have noticed something was wrong and held back his strength. If he had used it too late, he really would have been kicked away.

It was precisely at that moment—the instant Guy thought, "I landed my kick, you can't dodge, I've won"—that the Substitution Jutsu was activated. It was nearly impossible to guard against.

Even if a Chūnin teacher had cast this Substitution Jutsu themselves, it wouldn't have been much better than this.

So, the Chūnin teacher nodded in satisfaction and praised him, "Very good, Obito, you've improved. Not only did you successfully use the Substitution Jutsu, but you executed it perfectly."

"The match is over. Obito wins."

The Chūnin teacher took out a small booklet and began recording. Obito being able to use Substitution Jutsu was a significant point booster—it was time to move his ranking up a bit.

However, Obito wasn't entirely satisfied.

He had sensed the immense gap between himself and Minato-sensei.

Minato-sensei completed most of his attack motion before teleporting, so the moment he arrived, his attack landed instantly, without any delay. Obito simply couldn't react in time.

Although this was due to the difference between Flying Thunder God and Substitution Jutsu, he had sparred with Minato-sensei enough to know that even if Minato-sensei were using Substitution Jutsu, he would still be much faster than him.

There were too many micro-manipulations that he simply couldn't replicate.

Furthermore, Minato-sensei could use his technique in real combat. As for him? While it was technically real combat, he was just bullying kids. Against a Kage-level opponent, there was no way they would leave such obvious openings for him to exploit.

He… still had a long way to go.

At that moment, Guy had already climbed back up, his energy restored.

"As expected of someone who can fight Kakashi. Obito, you're really strong. But next time… I definitely won't lose!", Guy gave him a thumbs-up.

Obito suddenly felt Kakashi's frustration.

After assessing himself, he realized that in normal circumstances, he could now maintain his Three Tomoe Sharingan for a short period in battle.

With his combat experience and the ability to phase through attacks for a brief time, even though his body was still young, his strength wasn't much weaker than an adult Kakashi without Kamui.

He could even hold his own against a Kage for a while.

For Guy to beat him, he still had a long way to go. Even if Guy eventually reached the level where he could fight Madara, Obito would have grown as well. By then, with both eyes activated for Kamui, he'd even dare to take on Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

'So, this is the world of geniuses? Being far stronger than one's friends—it is no wonder geniuses tend to be arrogant.'

Obito quickly smiled at Guy, "I just barely pulled off that move. Go find Kakashi—he's your true lifelong rival. As for me, I can help you find him."

"Really?", Guy became excited. Compared to Obito, Kakashi was still his real goal.

"Really," Obito grinned mischievously. He had no intention of letting Guy cling to him—Kakashi would just have to suffer.

The two laughed and withdrew from the crowd. Aside from the students who had just been stunned into silence and the more knowledgeable teachers, most of the spectators weren't too surprised.

From their perspective, it was just a fight between two "dead lasts" No matter who won or lost, it wasn't worth paying attention to.

Except for Rin, who was cheering excitedly.

"Alright, take a break. Next up, we're practicing shuriken throwing."

The teacher continued organizing the lesson.

Obito blended into the group and completed his training normally. Since it was all basic material, it was too easy for him. Even if he wanted to hold back, it was impossible—he was nearly perfect in every category.

Many students began noticing that Obito was different. The Chūnin teacher was also starting to wonder.

'Could it be that since Obito was always facing Kakashi, he kept getting overshadowed? And now that Kakashi is gone, he's finally shining?'

'But… yesterday, he couldn't even hit the target, and today he's landing bullseyes every time. Isn't this progress a little too ridiculous?'

The Chūnin teacher couldn't make sense of it, but the ninja world was full of strange things. He didn't think too deeply—he just assumed that Kakashi had stimulated Obito to break through.

Obito had no idea what the teacher was thinking. Once the training was over and school was dismissed, he met up with Rin.

After eating at a street-side stall, the two of them headed for the Hatake household.

By the time they arrived at the Hatake residence, the sky had already darkened.

Rin stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Before long, Kakashi opened it, revealing his lifeless, dead-fish eyes.

In Obito's memory, the Hatake home was supposed to be a warm place. But now, behind Kakashi, there was nothing but darkness. No light at all.

"Kakashi, you didn't turn on the lights?", Rin asked with concern.

Kakashi lazily responded with an "Ah" as if he had just remembered that he had guests. He turned inside and flipped the lights on.

"Come in."

Obito and Rin entered the house, and immediately, a stifling atmosphere settled over them.

In the center of the room stood a framed photograph—a memorial portrait.

Konoha's White Fang—Hatake Sakumo.

The master swordsman, the great hero whom Obito had admired, was placed right there.

A true believer in the Will of Fire… had taken his own life.

Obito felt a deep sense of frustration.

Before his reincarnation, he had entered and exited Konoha multiple times and had White Zetsu, an excellent intelligence gatherer. He knew Konoha's situation better than anyone.

Sakumo wasn't simply broken by rumors. What truly killed him was the very Will of Fire he had dedicated his life to upholding.

The feeling of one's beliefs collapsing—Obito understood it all too well.

If he had never fallen into hell, if he were still that naive, passionate fool, he probably wouldn't have been able to accept it either.

A man who constantly spoke of the Will of Fire and another who constantly claimed to be acting for Konoha—when their noble ideals were twisted into a blade that stabbed their own people…

If it had been him, he would have felt the same chilling despair. He would have questioned—Why? How could this happen?

Adding to that, unlike traditional ninja families, the Hatake clan originated from samurai.

And samurai valued honor and belief above all else.

So, Sakumo had taken his own life.

To Obito, a hero could die. He could fall in battle, he could make a tragic sacrifice. But he should never have died in such an ugly political struggle.

That was why he believed this world was beyond saving. Human hearts were inherently ugly—only the dream world of the Infinite Tsukuyomi could allow heroes to walk their chosen path forever.

In the past, he had even refused to revive Rin, unwilling to let her witness such filth.

With a sigh in his heart, Obito stepped forward, closed his eyes, and solemnly bowed to White Fang.

Seeing this, Rin followed suit, paying her respects to Kakashi's father.

Kakashi frowned and stepped forward, blocking the photo.

His voice was cold, and his words were as if they were the most natural truth.

"In the ninja world, those who break the rules and regulations… are nothing but trash. You don't need to show respect to a piece of trash."
