In the training field, the PK between Kakashi and Obito began.
Kakashi immediately took out the White Fang's blade, inherited from his father, while Obito fought with kunai.
Originally, Obito was no match for Kakashi. The duel was basically Obito getting beaten up.
But after activating his Three-Tomoe and Two-Tomoe Sharingan, the situation changed.
Obito was now able to fight Kakashi with ease. The Sharingan's enhanced dynamic vision and perception gave the otherwise average Obito a huge boost, allowing him to fight Kakashi on equal terms.
This massive improvement made Obito feel the power of the Uchiha bloodline. He was so excited that he couldn't help but laugh loudly during the battle.
He arrogantly declared to Kakashi, "Did you see that, you smug Kakashi? I'm not the same as before! This is the power of the Uchiha! Hahaha… uh... ah…"
However, in his excitement and arrogance, Obito made a mistake. Kakashi seized the opportunity, using a Body Flicker Technique to appear behind Obito. Then, he struck Obito's back with the flat side of the White Fang's blade.
Although Obito saw it with his Sharingan, his body couldn't keep up, so he was hit.
Seeing Obito get knocked away and crash to the ground, leaving a long trail, Kakashi felt satisfied. He then sneered, "Hmph, even with the Sharingan, you're still just the weak one. In battle, you dare to get distracted? If this were a real battlefield, you'd already be dead."
"You damn smug Kakashi!" Obito, embarrassed and furious, got up from the ground and rushed at Kakashi again, shouting angrily.
The battle between the two friends continued, with constant clashing sounds of metal ringing through the air.
Watching their fight, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but sigh, "The Uchiha's Sharingan is really powerful. Originally, there was a huge gap between Obito and Kakashi's abilities, but with the Sharingan, Obito is able to match Kakashi blow for blow."
"That's because Obito's foundation isn't that strong. If his basics were above average, he should be able to suppress Kakashi now," he added.
Standing next to Minato, Uchiha Kai crossed his arms over his chest and said, "It's normal. The Uchiha clan has been a prestigious family for thousands of years. In fact, if we trace back the bloodline, it can even be traced to the legendary Sage of Six Paths. Without extraordinary skills, the Uchiha wouldn't have been able to last this long in the ninja world."
Minato, intrigued, asked, "The Uchiha clan can really trace back to the Sage of Six Paths? Does that mean he really existed? I thought he was just a mythical figure?"
Kai didn't answer directly but asked, "Did you receive the inheritance of Mount Myoboku from Jiraiya-sensei?"
Minato nodded, "Yes, I did. Jiraiya-sensei even gave me the Sage Technique inheritance. But... I'm not particularly good at Sage Mode. Even the Sage Fukasaku from Mount Myoboku said that my talent for this technique isn't very high."
"It's mainly about how long I can maintain it. Even if I use a lot of chakra to enter Sage Mode, I can only perform a Rasengan before I have to drop out of it."
He smiled bitterly as he spoke.
This wasn't humility. Compared to his son Naruto Uzumaki and Jiraiya, his time in Sage Mode was measured in seconds. After one or two attacks, he would have to exit.
Even though he could enter Sage Mode with minimal preparation, it didn't benefit him much. It was more effective to save chakra and perform more Flying Thunder God Jutsu or use the Rasenshuriken by teleporting.
Kai didn't comment on this but said, "The Great Toad Sage from Mount Myoboku is actually from the era of the Sage of Six Paths. He was a friend of the Sage."
Minato widened his eyes in shock, "The Great Toad Sage was a friend of the Sage of Six Paths? Oh... even Jiraiya-sensei doesn't know about this, right? How do you know this, Kai? Is there something about it in the Uchiha clan's records?"
Itachi shook his head, "It's not from the Uchiha records. I just have special intelligence sources, just like how I know about the Nine-Tails."
Minato Namikaze nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, not asking where the information came from.
After all, having seen a special large library in the mental network, Minato didn't find it surprising that Uchiha Kai might know many secrets of the ninja world—the Genjutsu world he had encountered was far more shocking and incredible than simply knowing about the Sage of Six Paths.
Then, Minato asked, "Kai, who do you think will achieve greater things in the future, Kakashi or Obito?"
Uchiha Kai responded, "If Kakashi can inherit the complete legacy of the White Fang, then the future is full of potential. Unfortunately, Sakumo passed away too early. Now, Kakashi can only rely on the things left by his father to figure out the Hatake clan's sword techniques on his own."
"What's more, Kakashi isn't exactly the most talented when it comes to swordsmanship, which directly limits his potential for growth."
"As for Obito, that kid awakened his Sharingan with two tomoe, and now he's reached the point where one of his eyes has three tomoe. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan in the future."
Minato asked, "So, do you think Obito has more potential?"
Uchiha Kai shook his head, "No, if Obito doesn't have any major breakthroughs, when he awakens the Mangekyō Sharingan, he'll shine for a while, but within a few years, he'll fall into decline."
Minato frowned, "Why? Does the Mangekyō Sharingan have hidden dangers?"
Uchiha Kai nodded, "After awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, there's a risk of blindness because using its power causes the user's vision to deteriorate. The more it's used, the faster the deterioration. Even with careful use, the daily consumption of chakra can't be stopped, and eventually, the person will lose their sight entirely."
Minato's expression changed slightly, and he said with concern, "Doesn't the Uchiha clan have any way to solve this?"
Uchiha Kai nodded, "The Uchiha clan does have methods, but they are extremely harsh and not suitable for someone like Obito, who doesn't have direct blood relatives."
"So, instead of hoping the Uchiha clan will find a solution, it would be better to hope that Lord Orochimaru makes progress in his research on the matter."
"However, based on my understanding of Orochimaru, if it's just solving the issue of blindness, that's not a problem at all. Worst case, we just clone a pair of Sharingan and replace the old ones with brand new ones after blindness occurs."
Minato was aware of what cloning was, after all, the technology in the ninja world is always filled with unbelievable advancements.
So, Minato couldn't help but show a surprised expression: "Cloning Sharingan? Can the Uchiha clan do something like this? Can Orochimaru really do that?"
Uchiha Kai showed a meaningful smile: "Minato, you have to believe, Snake Uncle controls core technology."
"Snake... Snake Uncle?" Minato was embarrassed, not knowing how to comment on Kai's nickname for Orochimaru, and finally chose to move past the topic.
Not long after, the real-life battle between Obito and Kakashi came to an end. Before things got too heated, Minato intervened and stopped their battle.
Of course, even though the fight was stopped, Obito and Kakashi, the pair of 'frenemies,' still continued to argue, fully displaying the 'relationship' between close friends.
It was in this situation that two new guests arrived, and they were actually attracted by the Royal City battle between Obito and Kakashi.
Moreover, Uchiha Kai immediately recognized the identities of the newcomers because their green tight-fitting vest uniforms were so distinctive in Konoha.
It was the Eternal Genin of Konoha, Might Duy, and his son, the freshly graduated ninja from the academy, Might Guy!
