Naruto: Uchiha's Unserious Saga-Chapter 309: Obito’s Identity Crisis
Chapter 309 - 309: Obito’s Identity Crisis
Obito wasn't an idiot.
On the contrary, someone who had managed to manipulate the Five Great Shinobi Villages single-handedly couldn't possibly be simple-minded.
In the original timeline, if it weren't for Naruto's mouth, who knows what the outcome would have been!
One way or another, if Obito hadn't saved Naruto's life, the Sage of Six Paths would've had to come up with some other crazy plan.
Because if Naruto had died, no one would've been able to stand against his mother.
The Sage might've even had to step in personally.
Now, Obito was fully aware of the gap between himself and Uchiha Funan—he was completely outmatched.
The only reason he had stepped forward to block him wasn't out of bravery. It was because he had no other choice.
If he didn't, and Nagato got killed by Uchiha Funan, did they really have any chance of winning?
Funan would be able to bulldoze through them.
With that in mind, Obito had only one option left—calling for Uchiha Madara's help.
And that was exactly the outcome Madara wanted to avoid the most.
So, he brought out the six Tailed Beasts—not to defeat Uchiha Funan, but at the very least, to buy time.
But now, he saw an even greater opportunity.
Naturally, that meant he had no reason to put himself in harm's way anymore.
As for the Six Paths clones? He had plenty to spare.
If he couldn't find Kage-level shinobi, elite jonin would do just fine.
They were just disposable tools anyway.
...
"ROOOOAR!!!"
The Ten-Tails' husk, after absorbing all the Tailed Beasts, surged with an overwhelming aura.
The sheer pressure was suffocating.
"This strong?"
Funan blinked in surprise.
Normally, fighting Tailed Beasts was nothing to him—even Nine-Tails was just a slightly oversized chicken, easily crushed with one hand. But now, even this empty husk of the Ten-Tails, after absorbing all that chakra, was powerful enough to make even his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan sense danger?
Suspicion flashed through Funan's eyes as he raised his hand.
A chakra crossbow appeared in Susanoo's hand.
This was the true weapon of his Susanoo.
That sword in his hand? That was just a chakra construct, not his real weapon.
For close combat, the sword was obviously the better choice.
A chakra bolt was fired.
Like a shooting star, it streaked toward the Ten-Tails' husk.
"ROAR!"
Sensing danger, the Ten-Tails' husk threw a punch straight at the incoming bolt.
[BOOM!]
A massive shockwave erupted, forcing Funan to step back several times.
As for the Ten-Tails' husk, it was sent flying, crashing heavily into the ground.
Funan sneered, locking eyes on Obito, who had phased through the attack using Kamui.
"Looks like this thing isn't as useful as you thought."
"It's too soon to say." Obito scoffed. "Besides, we have others."
His eyes shifted to Nagato.
At that moment, Nagato was going all out again.
Several Uchiha Susanoo users were already beginning to wear down from his relentless assault.
Meanwhile, Funan could sense it—Madara and Hashirama had started going at it again.
Clearly, the two had fully recovered.
"Hurry up!"
Funan suddenly roared, "Take down Nagato as fast as possible, then deal with this three-eyed freak—uh?"
His gaze suddenly fixed on Obito with an annoyed frown.
"Obito, what the hell? Why are you wearing my mask?"
At that moment, Obito's face was covered by a mask eerily similar to the one from the original story.
Silver, three eye holes, adorned with the patterns of the Rinnegan.
"Hmph."
Faced with Funan's accusation, Obito merely snorted.
Yours?
Bullshit.
If anything, you stole it from me.
Besides, you barely even wore this mask—so what if I use it?
He had considered other designs, but none of them felt right.
In the end, he still gravitated toward this one.
So he decided to stick with it.
Why should he change it?
Just to please Uchiha Funan?
Aside from the early days of Akatsuki, when had Funan ever actually worn a mask?
The outside world had no clue.
And that was all that mattered.
I'm the original.
This is MY mask.
At that moment, the Shinobi Alliance finally arrived.
Leading the forces were none other than Kakashi and Might Guy.
Funan turned his head, glancing at the approaching shinobi army in the distance. Then, he pointed at Obito and said, "Kakashi, can you do something about him? I'm seriously fed up. He even stole my mask."
Kakashi: "...?"
"...What? Kakashi, didn't you hear me?"
Funan frowned. "Don't tell me... you still don't know who he really is?" A sudden look of realization appeared on his face.
Kakashi: "..."
Why am I a little scared?
Hokage-sama, your expression right now is too damn villainous.
"Enough, Uchiha Funan!"
Obito was losing his patience. This was not how he wanted to reunite with Kakashi.
"Obito!"
Ignoring them both, Funan chuckled and said, "This guy right here is none other than Uchiha Obito, a rogue ninja of the Uchiha Clan. Kakashi, do you recognize him?"
Kakashi's breath caught in his throat.
Might Guy's eyes widened in shock.
Funan said it so casually, but to those hearing it, it was like a bolt of lightning.
"Hokage-sama... what did you just say?"
Guy pointed at Obito, his face blank. "Did you just say... he's Uchiha Obito? That Uchiha Obito?"
"Guy, think about what you're saying."
Funan smirked. "How many Obitos do you think my clan has?"
The two of them stood there in stunned silence, staring at Obito in disbelief.
"You... you..." Kakashi stammered. "Obito... is it really you...?"
The thought had crossed his mind before.
Funan had been shouting about it for a while now.
But Kakashi had instinctively rejected the idea, assuming it was just a baseless rumor.
The Obito he knew?
The kid who used to help old ladies cross the street and joke around all the time? How could Obito be the same person who threw the Five Great Nations into a war?
But now...
Funan had said it again, right in front of him.
No matter how much Kakashi wanted to deny it, he couldn't anymore.
"Shut up!"
Obito snapped. "Obito? Who the hell is Obito? I—"
"Obito's an idiot! Say that again?"
Obito: "...?"
Kakashi: "..."
Guy: "..."
"What?" Funan blinked at their stunned expressions. "He won't admit it, right? Then let's just keep insulting him. Keep going until he says it himself. Hmph!"
"Alright, alright, stop looking at me like that." Funan waved a hand dismissively. "I'm gonna go mess with that thing over there. You three have a nice chat. No fighting, okay? You're old friends—just talk it out!"
And with that, he skipped off toward another battlefield.
The three men exchanged looks.
Should they keep going?
"Obito, you—"
"Shut up!"
Obito snapped again.
...
Meanwhile, Funan watched the Ten-Tails' body with interest.
Fascinating, sure.
But his own survival was a much bigger priority right now.
"It's time to end this!" Funan clenched his fist, looked at the Ten-Tails' body, and said in a soft voice: "Come on, let's see what you've really got."
At the same time, he glanced over at the shinobi forces.
Shirayu and Shizune were already in action.
What kind of action?
Gathering corpses for Funan, prioritizing White Zetsu remains.
He needed to evolve.
The God Tree inside him required more life energy.
"ROOOAAARRR!!!"
The Ten-Tails let out a deep, guttural roar before lunging at Funan.
[BANG!]
A fully-formed Susanoo raised its hand and blocked the attack. In the next instant, it retaliated with a devastating punch to the beast's face.
[BANG!]
The Ten-Tails staggered backward, forced into retreat.
Funan wasted no time, striding forward and delivering a powerful kick.
[BANG!]
The Ten-Tails' body flew out again.
But it wasn't just going to sit there and take a beating.
As soon as it crashed into the ground, it quickly recovered, gathering chakra in its mouth before launching a Tailed Beast Ball.
[BOOOOM!!!]
The attack struck Susanoo, forcing it to slide back dozens of meters.
Without hesitation, the Ten-Tails fired five more in quick succession.
One after another, the blasts slammed into Susanoo, pushing Funan further and further back.
"Alright, I'll admit, that's impressive."
Funan smirked, standing tall once more. "But it's still not enough. At the end of the day, you're no match for me."
"The Ten-Tails should never have existed. Now, let me seal you away. Once you're sealed, this war will be over!"
With a war cry, Funan charged forward, colliding with the Ten-Tails once again.
