As soon as the two sides were about to collide, Kuroto's figure directly phased through Obito's body, but as he expected the follow-up iron chain that ca had to be avoided by crouching down.
In this short bout, the position of the two was exchanged.
**flashback**
"Hey, the guy with the Byakugan, I am Uchiha Obito, what is your na?"
"Hyuga Kuroto!"
"Hah… Hyuga Kuroto, rember this, I am the one who is going to beco the Hokage in the future, tell you what, how about I let you beco my guard at that ti, hmm…, how about it?"
"Oh, I don't know about the future, but I guess I should be grateful to you for now!"
"Huh, grateful for what?"
"I am grateful to you for being the last rank in the exam, because of you I am not the dead last!"
"Pft-… Hahaha… hahaha…" – the sound of laughter of the whole class echoed as soon as Kuroto finished this sentence.
"You… you… you… argh, damn it… when I awaken the Sharingan; I'll let you all know that Uchiha Clan is the greatest, and I'll be the first Hokage from the Uchiha Clan, Hokage Uchiha Obito-Sama!"
"Yeah, sure whatever… but for that, you'll have to pass the graduation exams and beco a shinobi first, which you clearly suck at!" – said one of the academy students in their class.
"Hahaha…"
**flashback end**
Looking at the opposite figure of Obito rushing towards him, the first mory of the interaction between the two flashed in Kuroto's mind.
Back when they were both in the Ninja Academy, Kuroto and Obito were always hovering at the last of class in all of the practical tests, Kuroto was naturally very good at theoretical tests because of his good understanding of theoretical concepts, but when it ca to practical application; whether it was Shurikenjutsu, Taijutsu or Ninjutsu, Kuroto was only slightly better than Obito, and that too because of his cunningness.
But now everything's changed, both of them have grown into powerful shinobi who can control the chain of the events happening in the villages.
The changes that take place in the world are also marvellous.
Two dead last kids are now so of the strongest ninjas one could find.
Unable to succeed in the first attack left Obito a little dejected, so after taking a look at his hands, he shook the chain and prepared to launch another strike.
Kuroto also got ready for another clash, throwing away the Kunai in his hands, he put his hand inside the ninja bag at his waist.
The silence between the two continued…
Whoosh…
With just a wave of his hand, Obito rushed towards Kuroto; and following behind him was the chain.
Kuroto didn't rush up this ti but leaped backward quickly to dodge the attack, however just as soon as he avoided the incoming chain, he was grabbed on the shoulder by Obito.
With just a single touch the spiralling whirlpool started appearing on Kuroto's shoulder but without any worry of it, Kuroto pressed his hands against Obito's chest.
Noticing that the opposite party attached a detonation charm on his chest, Obito thought with disdain, "It's my win!"
In Obito's opinion, as long as he touches the other party, the guy is bound to die, as for the matter of the detonation charm on his chest?
Obito has no worry about it.
The spiralling vortex kept growing in size, and soon Kuroto's figure started to get a little blurry.
'Except for the dead Yellow Flash, no one can avoid my Kamui!' – thought Obito with a slight smirk.
However, suddenly sothing sent him flying afar along with the Iron Chain, and since this happened too suddenly Obito didn't have ti to avoid it by transferring himself into Kamui's space at the mont of flying out.
And in the process of being repelled, the detonation charm on his chest also exploded.
Boom… boom…
A series of explosions resounded, but it didn't make Kuroto any happier.
"Too bad I guess!" – muttered Kuroto in disappointnt.
Although the smoke of the explosion hasn't dissipated, Kuroto already knew that just before the explosion, Obito transferred into Kamui Space, so he wasn't injured in the slightest.
After the smoke cleared, Obito's figure appeared out of the spiralling void, but this ti, he didn't have his previous indifferent calmness.
Looking at the person standing opposite to him with a black cloak and mask, Obito finally decided to break the silence, "Well, that surprised , so, who are you? Or rather, why are you here anyway?"
Obito who knows of the existence of the Rinnegan understood that the previous technique used by the opposite party was very similar to that of Pain's Shinra Tensei.
In the current Shinobi World, as far as Obito knew, only Pain could use such a technique, therefore he was quite interested in the identity of the other party.
The guy was dressed in a black cloak and wears a mask too just like himself, but Obito also knew that he wasn't Pain.
This made him interested in the other party's identity.
Listening to Obito's gloomy voice, Kuroto smirked playfully and decided to speak in a hoarse and heavy accent, "I could ask the sa question, who are you and why are you here?"
Although Obito with Kamui is indeed really difficult to deal with, that's only for ordinary Shinobi, Kuroto could easily repel him using the Rein Interaction.
So, even if he was about to be pulled into Kamui Space, as long as Kuroto is conscious, he can instantly avoid being targeted by Kamui.
There was an awkward silence between the two following Kuroto's question, and after a little bit of consideration, Obito finally spoke while pointing towards the gate of the storeroom on the side, "Forget about it…, if your goal is that place, we don't need to have any conflict."
Kuroto also glanced towards the gate of the storeroom and nodded after a little bit of pondering.
In the short bout the two had, Kuroto was able to notice the embedded Simple Sharingan in Obito's left eye socket, this ans that even if Kuroto uses a surprise attack by entering the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, and luckily succeeds to kill Obito using the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, Obito would still change the reality of his death and co back to life at the cost of that Sharingan by casting the Uchiha's forbidden Jutsu; Izanagi, and then quickly escape into the Kamui Space.
So, this again clarified that this battle would have no result without Kakashi's assistance.
Since Kuroto understands this full well, so he will naturally not give out too much information about his abilities to the other party by engaging in a pointless battle, if Obito becos interested in him more than he already is, it would make Kuroto a bit uncomfortable, as he didn't want to end up like Yondai-Sama.
Therefore, he decided to play along.
So, the two sides looked at each other and nodded in agreent for a temporary truce.
Both of them are aware that instead of dragging down each other and attract the village's attention here, it is better to take the advantage of the chaos that Uchiha Shinichi has caused and rob Danzo's base.
Since the of them reached an agreent, although still alert against each other, the weapons were put away nonetheless.
Casually walking towards the gate of the secret library, Obito once looked at the sealing technique engraved on the door and after a little once over, he glanced in the direction of Kuroto.
"See you on the other side…" – leaving this sentence, he phased through the gate and entered the storeroom.
Undoubtedly, the real reason why Obito didn't directly enter the storeroom previously was that he wanted to confirm the sealing technique engraved at the door, and now that he confird that it wouldn't threaten him in the slightest, he directly phased through the gate after a little bit of teasing Kuroto.
Shaking his head helplessly at Obito's playful actions, Kuroto lightly walked towards the gate and murmured, "Kai!" while putting his hand at the gate.
Cluck…
With a soft sound, the door opened.
The seal engraved at the gate was derived from the Uzumaki Four-Symbols Seal that Kuroto has mastered by heart, so releasing it was no problem for him.
As soon as Obito saw the other person lifting the seal instantly and followed in without any trouble, he beca a little annoyed.
Ignoring Obito's disappointnt, Kuroto looked around the room.
In the warehouse-size room, rows and rows of glass refrigerators containing a variety of materials, many types of chemical reagents, Petri dishes containing tissue samples, and various other experintal equipnt were clearly visible to him.
Kuroto could even see a big jar containing several Sharingan dispersed in a preservation solution, and just by a rough count, there were nine of them present.
Seeing so many Sharingan lying there, Kuroto secretly murmured, "Shimura Danzo actually has so many Sharingan already? Were so of them left by Nidai-Sama? Or is it that he has been secretly collecting them through the previous three Great Shinobi Wars?"
