He knew that the most important thing he needed to bring Obito back was the strength to defeat him.
He asked his father how he, without the Sharingan, could ever reach the level of bloodline geniuses like Obito and Kagami.
His father gave him the answer.
As far as Sakumo Hatake knew, he was the only non-bloodline limit ninja who had ever defeated a Mangekyou Sharingan user...
The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
The Hatake family's swordsmanship is no weaker than the Senju family's; what he lacks is the Flying Thunder God Technique, a technique that tests talent.
How talented is Kakashi?
Sakumo Hatake is certain that Kakashi possesses talent surpassing his own!
When a genius dedicates themselves wholeheartedly to something, the results they achieve can be astonishing.
The foundation for learning the Flying Thunder God Technique lies in one's talent for space-time perception, extraordinary sensory abilities, and a large amount of chakra.
Kakashi possesses these qualities.
As the Hokage, Minato Namikaze also had the authority to teach the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Minato Namikaze promoted Genma Shiranui, Raido Namiashi, and Iwashi Tadashi to the Hokage Guard and taught them the Flying Thunder God Technique.
However, their chakra is limited, and only the three of them can use their combined strength to perform the Flying Thunder God Technique. It is impossible for a single person to perform the Flying Thunder God Technique.
With a strong desire, plus the solid foundation laid by Jiraiya and Sakumo Hatake for Kakashi.
Kakashi has already mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.
He's just not skilled enough yet, and can't integrate it into his knife skills.
Its current uses are only for traveling and escaping.
However, neither Kakashi nor Sakumo Hatake knew this...
The Flying Thunder God Technique alone does not counter Obito Uchiha; it merely comes close to his level.
The one who truly restrained Obito was Minato, who knew the Flying Thunder God Technique.
In the rain, Kakashi and Might Guy suddenly stopped.
Sheets of white paper come together to form a human figure, like an angel spreading its wings.
Kakuzu's figure slowly appeared, blocking the way for the two.
Kakashi drew his short sword, and Might Guy also assumed a fighting stance.
"Those brats from Konoha..."
Kakuzu's voice was filled with resentment as he unbuttoned his coat.
"I heard you're Uchiha Kagami's junior brother. Let me see how much stronger you are than him."
Kakashi and Might Guy both tensed up.
They knew Uchiha Kagami's personality all too well; when dealing with ninjas from other villages, he almost always intended to kill them.
This guy's words were full of resentment; they didn't seem fake...
He actually survived the encounter with the mirror!
"My nerves are on edge," Matt Kay whispered.
"Kakashi, I can only open up to the sixth gate right now. In case... you use the Flying Thunder God Technique to get out first!"
"Don't joke around, I'd rather die than run away alone!"
As the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, Xiao Nan spoke up.
"Kakashi Hatake, has Jiraiya-sensei mentioned us?"
Jiraiya... teacher...
Kakashi's eyes flashed.
The Land of Rain, Jiraiya-sensei...
In addition, there are Xiao Nan's distinctive physical features.
"You are... Senior Sister Xiao Nan!"
Kakashi's eyes were filled with disbelief: "But... Jiraiya-sensei said you all died in the war!"
"The three people who were there are indeed dead."
Xiao Nan's voice was cold and emotionless.
"Go back. The Obito Uchiha you're looking for isn't here. There's only the Akatsuki's Sora."
In Konan's opinion, Uchiha Kagami would definitely share information with someone close to him like Kakashi, and there was no need to hide anything.
Let's make this clear: I hope Kakashi won't come again; Obito doesn't want to play with you anymore.
But Kakashi knew absolutely nothing about the Akatsuki...
He had initially deduced from some fragmented information that Obito might be in the Land of Rain.
The anticipated enemy is Hanzo from the Land of Rain!
What is the Akatsuki organization?
Is Hanzo the leader of this organization, or just one of its members?
The unknown powerful figure before us, along with Konan, and Obito...
This doesn't seem like the kind of powerful force a small ninja village should have!
"What is the Akatsuki organization?"
Matt Kai just asked that question.
"You...don't know the Akatsuki?" Konan frowned, realizing she had said the wrong thing.
Kakuzu's mind works much faster.
"Heh, that brat Uchiha Kagami doesn't take us seriously."
"That bastard... I'll hang him with the Earthly Grudge Spell sooner or later!!"
Black tentacles emerged from between Kakuzu's arms.
"Just beat these clueless brats half to death and let Konoha come to pick them up."
Then they'll take all the money from you and make your parents pay the ransom!
Kakuzu shot out, his powerful Water Release ninjutsu causing ripples on the water beneath Kakashi and Kakuzu's feet.
Konan sighed. She could tell from Kakashi's eyes that it was impossible to persuade him to back down with simple words.
Should we still fight...?
A lightning-infused slash cleaved through the giant wave, and Kakashi and Might Guy shot out.
"Eight Gates Formation, Fourth Gate, Gate of Injury—Open!"
Might Guy's skin turned crimson, his veins bulged, and his chakra surged violently!
With Might Guy's current strength, he can open the fourth gate in an instant and gradually open the fifth gate.
If he tried his best, he might be able to open the sixth gate, but he never tried.
Kakuzu and Might Guy collided, creating a huge wave of water.
Kakashi approached Konan with his sword, but did not strike her down immediately.
"Senior Sister Xiao Nan... what exactly happened? Can you tell me?"
"I'm really... fed up with the feeling of not knowing anything and being powerless!"
Xiao Nan shook her head, her figure fluttering away, and pieces of paper scattered.
"Kakashi, I'm no longer going to try to explain things to people like you who live under protection."
"If you don't want to walk by yourself..."
Countless pieces of paper hurtled towards Kakashi like sharp blades.
Chapter 109 Time is on our side!
After opening the Six Gates and engaging in battle, Might Guy slumped helplessly against Kakashi.
Kakashi was also in bad shape, covered in severe wounds, his blood staining the water beneath his feet.
It's very difficult to breathe; my lungs are damaged...
Konan is in relatively good condition, but two of Kakuzu's Earth Grudges are floating on the surface of the water, indicating that he has lost two hearts.
"Hey, Xiao Nan."
"Forget the white-haired brat, I want that green-skinned guy's heart!"
Kakuzu was breathing heavily, never expecting that two brats could embarrass him so much!
Kakashi gripped Might Guy tightly with one hand to prevent him from falling off his back.
He was willing to sacrifice himself for Obito.
But he wouldn't allow Might Guy to be killed, so until now, he has reserved enough chakra to use the Flying Thunder God Technique once.
His gaze swept between the two men before finally settling on Kakuzu.
Kakashi couldn't help but speak up.
"I might now know why someone like you survived."
Kakuzu pondered for a moment, waiting for Kakashi to speak.
It's probably something like, "You're so strong, it's normal for you to have survived."
Ha, even if you say that, I'm still going to take that green brat's heart!
A soft chuckle escaped from beneath Kakashi's mask.
"You are too weak and too ugly."
"Jing probably wouldn't bother killing you; he'd probably spend more time washing his hands than killing you."
"What did you say!!!"
Kakuzu, enraged, attacked without regard for Konan's attempts to stop him, unleashing a powerful combination of ninjutsu!
Just as the flames were within reach.
Obito... I'll come back again.
The art of Flying Thunder God.
Kakashi and Might Guy disappeared.
As the flames subsided, Obito's figure appeared, twisted and contorted.
His gaze fell on the spot where the two had disappeared.
Is it... the Flying Thunder God Technique?
Kakashi, what's the point of you learning this technique now?
You and I are the same... we only start to regret our incompetence after we've lost something.
After a few seconds of pause, Obito's figure disappeared.
They appeared in a secluded room.
Jue's figure emerged from the room wall, and the two took their seats.
“I can sense that Nagato is starting to lose confidence in the plan to collect the tailed beasts.”
Black Jue spoke in a deep voice.
"Putting everything else aside, the most important thing is that the Nine-Tails is in Konoha, and Uchiha Kagami is a huge chasm."
After a moment of silence, Obito asked, "Has the Five-Tails been revived?"
Several years ago, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki and the Third Raikage were killed by Kagami Uchiha, which also marked the death of the Five-Tails, Kokuou.
