Capítulo 13: Chapter 13 - Victory and defeat.

Immediately after the katana blade, engulfed in flames, passed through Obito's body, the latter reached out to Yusuke's left shoulder, intending to forcibly transport him to another dimension.

As soon as Obito's right hand was successfully light on Yusuke's left shoulder, joy flashed in his eyes, he immediately materialized his body, but as soon as this happened, he felt a burning pain all over his body. It turned out that the flame that remained after the swing of the katana had not gone away and was still in the air. Obito did not notice this as he was in a state of intangibility, these flames are the power of Ryujin Jakka and they are so hot that they can instantly ignite and burn anything.

The flames quickly spread over the entire surface of the cloak, Obito let out a painful cry, the temperature of the fire was so high that it hurt him even through the cloak, immediately canceling his materialization, Obito quickly retreated, throwing off his cloak, narrowly avoiding igniting his own body.

Yuusuke didn't want to let Obito catch his breath, grabbing the hilt of the katana with both hands, he pounced on the enemy. The flames of the katana flowed like a river current, leaving magnificent fiery bursts in their wake. Yusuke was like an artist, each stroke of the brush leaving behind colorful prints.

Retreating quickly, Obito tried his best to break the distance with Yusuke, he had just avoided a deadly situation when a flurry of attacks rained down on him. Worst of all, Yusuke's every attack left a trail of flames similar to the one that caused him to ignite, making it impossible for Obito to find an opportunity to counterattack.

"Does he know something about my abilities and use this method to restrain me?" Obito thought for a moment, but quickly pushed the thought out of his mind. In the end, besides himself, only two people knew about his power - Uchiha Madara and Zetsu, there is no way that Yuusuke knew about it.

Unfortunately for Obito, his opponent was a man from another world with much knowledge. And of course, Yuusuke was well aware of everything about Kamui's strength, as well as his shortcomings. If he remembered correctly, Obito was only able to maintain intangibility for about five minutes while he attacked him and didn't give him a chance to catch his breath, soon he would be able to deal significant damage to his opponent, and possibly even finish him off.

Obito, with a grim face, continued to constantly change his position, hoping to seize the moment to materialize his body back. But Yusuke wasn't going to give him that chance, following him like a shadow. So three minutes passed, Obito did not find an opportunity to attack Yuusuke and also could not get rid of him. He began to lose patience and composure, which showed at the beginning.

At this time, Yuusuke was also having a hard time, using all his strength to keep Obito from breathing. His stamina and chakra were rapidly depleted.

In a normal shinobi fight, many situations are resolved very quickly, the winner is determined after several clashes. Previously, all of Yuusuke's battles were fast-paced and he had never experienced anything like what he is experiencing today. Alas, now he had no other choice, Obito's abilities were too dangerous and without such tactics, he would never be harmed.

"It's useless, your attacks are ineffective against me, just a waste of strength and chakra!" Obito said in a mocking voice. He hoped to use this to trick Yuusuke into abandoning his continuous attack method.

Much to his regret, Yuusuke completely ignored his bluff and simply continued to swing his katana. Another minute passed like this, and Obito realized that if something was not done, a sad end awaited him. After all, as soon as his body becomes material, Yuusuke will not be difficult to kill him, in less than five moves.

"It's unthinkable how, with such strength, I still can't defeat him!!" Obito's heart flared with indignation.

Meanwhile, just as Obito was finally desperate, a black-and-white figure of Zetsu appeared on top of a large tree near their location, who came to support his partner.

The appearance of Zetsu momentarily distracted Yusuke, his movements stopped for a moment, which Obito took advantage of. Avoiding the trail of flames, Obito materialized his body, extended his left arm forward, forming a sharp wood spike in it beforehand, and ruthlessly struck Yuusuke's side with it, piercing his shoulder.

The Wood Release Cutting Technique is a fairly versatile technique, it allows the user to create sharp wood spikes from their body to turn them into melee weapons, such as a makeshift sword, or as long-range projectiles, in which case the growth of branches can be caused remotely, tearing the enemy apart as a result.

Seeing how the blood stained Yusuke's clothes flashed a triumphant glint in Obito's eyes, this man would finally die by his hand today. Thinking about this, Obito couldn't help but unleash his wood elemental power without hesitation, wanting to speed up the growth of the tree thorn and use it to rip apart Yusuke's body. Standing aside, Zetsu also didn't think that Yusuke had a chance to survive after the tree thorn pierced his body.

But, alas, Obito's dreams were not destined to come true today, as soon as a smug smile touched his face, he felt a frightening murderous aura in Yusuke's eyes, from which, his heart inevitably trembled. His fear increased even more when he realized that the tree thorn hadn't reacted at all.

Suddenly, flames appeared from the wound on Yusuke's right shoulder, which burned not only the tree thorn, but also began to spread rapidly along Obito's arm. Frightened by the flames, Obito quickly jumped back, standing on a large tree, Zetsu was greatly surprised by this sudden change. None of them expected that Yusuke was able to change the nature of the chakra inside his body into a fire attribute and contain the power of the wood element.

"Fire Release - Walking Through Flames" - Seeing that the flames hit Obito's hand, Yusuke immediately formed a one-handed seal with his left hand.

The Flame Walking Technique was developed by Yusuke himself after much experimentation with Ryujin Jakka flames. It allows him to literally teleport to any place where there is Ryujin Jakka flame. Previously, the flame on his shoulder was the flame of his Zanpakutō, it quickly burned off the wood spike and spread to Obito's arm, giving Yuusuke the ability to instantly teleport to him.

"Beware!" Zetsu anxiously exclaimed as Yuusuke's body disappeared in a fiery flash. After that, Yusuke miraculously emerged from the flames on Obito's arm, looking at the latter with eyes full of murderous intent.

Without hesitation, Yusuke used his body flickering technique to the fullest, supplementing it with fire elemental chakra and almost instantly crossed a distance of five meters. Leaving behind a fiery trail of flowing flames and a stunned Obito.

"Obito had time to use his power? No, he shouldn't have... it all happened too fast, Zetsu wondered in his mind, looking at the frozen Obito. But in the next moment, he was able to get all the answers to his questions. Obito's body suddenly burst into flames and collapsed to the ground, leaving behind only charred body parts that were lucky enough to survive without turning to ash.

Meanwhile, Yusuke's gaze fell on Zetsu standing on a branch of a large tree. The creature looked back at him, inwardly mocking his naivety. Does he really think that Obito will be killed so easily? This mistake will cost him his life, such were his thoughts.

At that moment, Obito's charred body slowly dissolved like a mirage, and an unharmed Obito appeared behind Yuusuke. There was anger in his eyes at having to use Izanagi.

Izanagi is a genjutsu used on oneself and not on others, and is the most powerful of its kind of genjutsu. When activated, the user blurs the line between illusion and reality within their personal space. To a certain extent, this allows him to control the state of his existence, but usually this ability only lasts for the briefest moment. The price for using this genjutsu is very high, the user permanently loses one of their eyes.

Obito had to sacrifice one of his eyes in order not to die from Yuusuke's deadly attack. But what Obito and Zetsu didn't know was that Yuusuke was well aware of this Sharingan ability. Earlier, he intentionally turned his back on the corpse to give Obito the opportunity to sneak up on him.

Just when Obito thought he would finally get his way, Yusuke shattered his expectations again. Crimson flames erupted, revealing another stroke of flame, Obito's mask split in two and then turned to ash. At that moment, Yusuke and Obito's eyes met, and the former, to his disappointment, realized that Obito had managed to activate Kamui.

Watching Obito's body disappear into a dimensional vortex. Yusuke sighed in his heart, the other side's ability was very high class when it came to escaping and saving lives.

At the same time, Obito's eyes were empty. He never thought that even after awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, he would still lose to Yusuke Uchiha.

"Do you think illusion can replace reality?" At the last moment, when Obito's body was almost gone, Yusuke's quiet voice reached him. Hearing these words, Obito's body trembled and he couldn't help but think about exactly what Yusuke meant by those words.

"Could it be that he knows about our plan? Did he see my face when he broke the mask? With a head full of questions, Obito finally disappeared in front of Yuusuke. Immediately after he left, Zetsu also left, dissolving into the ground.

Yusuke let out a long sigh, the fight was not easy for him, he used up almost all of his strength and chakra. If the battle had dragged on a little longer, he would have had to run. In addition, Yuusuke was well aware of the fact that Obito had only recently awakened his power and he still lacked real combat experience.

Yusuke was about to rest when he suddenly felt a strong vibration under his feet, the source of which was in a valley not far from his current position.

With a loud sound, a huge dark gray statue-like creature suddenly appeared in the valley, its huge body was even taller than some of the mountain peaks in the valley.
