--- Chapter 169 ---

"Uchiha Obito."

The masked man's movement abruptly halted, and he looked at Yunlong with a surprised yet prying cold gaze.

He took out a black chain from his sleeve and coldly asked, "Who are you...?"

Uchiha Obito, It's been a long time since the masked man heard that name because only a few people know his identity. He's Madara until the real Madara comes back from death itself.

Yunlong casually shrugged his shoulders and indifferently answered, "Me? Just a person who came back to life."

Uchiha Obito frowned a little and suddenly moved forward, launching the black chain toward Yunlong.

Yunlong dodged the black chain and saw Obito's hand was about to reach his clothes, but he swiftly used his movement technique to duck the incoming attack.

'Fast...' Uchiha Obito thought while looking at Yunlong, who quickly appeared a few meters away from him.

Yunlong looked at his clothes slightly and saw a cut on the sleeve because of Obito's attack.

'Hmm...? Did I become slower?' He slightly gripped his right hand.

[You have regressed to your past incarnation body, host]

[Your physical strength have become 90% weaker]

The system explained with a monotonous voice, which caused Yunlong's eyes to widen slightly.

"You gotta be kidding me," Yunlong muttered in disbelief.

Clink! Clink!

Yunlong once again dodged Obito's chain attack and gazed at him with a somewhat solemn expression.

[However, It seemed your abilities and skills didn't get weakened, host]

[So you can freely use your skills]

'I know that.' Yunlong replied because he used his teleportation skill a few seconds ago.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."

A fiery fireball suddenly appeared out of nowhere and moved toward Yunlong, but he casually moved his hand and changed the direction of the fire attack.

BOOM!

The fireball hit the ground and exploded with great force, causing dust clouds to hover around them.

Yunlong felt a space distortion on his body and canceled it with his spatial manipulation, which repealed Obito's Kamui and greatly shocked him.

'To think, My Kamui failed.' Uchiha Obito jumped on a tree branch and quietly observed Yunlong's body, which was unscathed from his attack.

Yunlong released a small breath because his stamina wasn't as great as before and slowly moved his gaze to Obito.

"What are you doing there? Are you not going to attack me or not?" He asked with a doubtful tone.

Uchiha Obito slightly fixed his mask and calmly responded, "Answer me, who are you, and how did you know about my secret?"

'Well, It wasn't really a secret... I only have to watch the show.' Yunlong thought while slightly stretching his legs, which had become sore for some reason.

Yunlong pondered for a moment and replied, "You see, I know that you're not my brother, and you could never be him."

"Also, your secrets are meaningless in front of my eyes." He casually continued.

"Huh? Brother?"

Uchiha Obito's thoughts ran through every information he had about this one word and combined it with Uchiha Madara's life history, resulting in a surprising answer.

"You're Uchiha Izuna?" Uchiha Obito whispered solemnly because that person should have died a long time ago.

Uchiha Madara's younger brother, Uchiha Izuna, died because of a fatal injury when opposing Tobirama Senju and gave his mangekyou sharingan to his older brother so that he could gain another light.

'Hee, To think his reaction would be this natural and real. This illusion realm wasn't as simple as I thought, huh.' Yunlong smirked a little because this probably occurred after portraying his past lives.

"You come back to the living world, but how?" Uchiha Obito asked while landing in front of him. "Also, if you really Uchiha Izuna, you should have awakened that."

"Well, That's surely a mystery because I suddenly reincarnated as this person." Yunlong bitterly laughed, which caused Obito to be pretty wary of him.

"Then, this would help you recognize me, right." He continued while showing Obito his eternal mangekyou sharingan.

'Weird...' Uchiha Obito knew that Uchiha Izuna's eyes should have been gifted to Uchiha Madara in the past, which means he doesn't have them anymore.

Nevertheless, This person actually has eternal mangekyou sharingan with the Choku Tomoe pattern, which rarely appeared in this era.

Swoosh!

A few leaves suddenly fell to the ground, and both of them immediately looked around them.

"Anbu?" Uchiha Obito mumbled while looking at a few people around them.

'Roots, eh.' Yunlong thought while looking at these people's clothes.

This illusion really surprised Yunlong because not only did Obito react like that before, but it also really resembled the world he knows.

"Give me a sword." Yunlong abruptly requested and raised his hand to Obito, which caused him to frown a little.

"What? Just give me a sword. I want to test something." He continued because it seemed Obito really didn't trust him.

Uchiha Obito pondered about something for a moment and indifferently created space swirls, which ejected out a standard iron katana to Yunlong.

Yunlong casually caught the katana and grasped the handle with comfortable grips, which slowly released a faint sword intent.

"Oh..?" Yunlong looked at his spirit energy, which became faint blue and resembled chakra in this world.

"What are you gonna do?" Uchiha Obito asked with a deep frown because he couldn't understand Yunlong's way of thoughts at all.

Yunlong only smiled and took a step forward with his katana facing a tall pine tree. "...Silent Slash." He whispered while casually slashing the katana.

Cough! Argh!

A few groans suddenly echoed in the area, and Obito peeked slightly at the bush near him, seeing an amputated arm with flowing red blood.

[You have killed one anbu root]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Activated]

[You have obtained Wind Release: Air Bullet]

'Eh?' Yunlong was surprised because he didn't expect his attack to kill someone.

He actually didn't use that much power and just a simple slash technique derived from his Union Sword, but to think, the anbu near him would die just because of this attack.

'Also, I didn't expect to gain ninjutsu after killing one of them.' He added while raising his head and looked at the headless person on the tree branch.

Yunlong's cheeks got tainted by the anbu root's falling blood, which he wiped with his hand and observed closely with an attentive gaze.

"It's just like the real world." He commented with a grim expression.
