[On the way to rescue Gaara, Kakashi once again encountered Itachi, but this time Itachi was a Shapeshifting Technique clone, with only one-third of the original chakra.
[Compared to the nervousness he felt when facing Orochimaru during the Chunin Exams, Kakashi was much calmer now. His opening words surprised Itachi greatly: "How bad has your eyesight gotten?"
[Itachi was shocked but also realized that Kakashi, this outsider, might have unlocked the secret of the Mangekyō Sharingan—an achievement that few Uchiha could reach.
[After the last failure, Kakashi found a way to counter Itachi's genjutsu. Under Naruto's feint attack, he sneaked from underground, but Itachi still managed to dodge.
[Their eyes met again, and Kakashi was pulled into the genjutsu world once more.
[Itachi turned Kakashi into a paper figure and then set him on fire to make him feel the pain of being burned alive. But Kakashi showed no change in expression. Itachi immediately realized this was a shadow clone.
[The real Kakashi emerged from underground, destroying Naruto's shadow clone along the way.
[The shadow clone held tightly onto Itachi, refusing to let go. Naruto then used a massive Rasenshuriken to defeat the clone Itachi.]
"Eyesight? Could it be that using the Mangekyō Sharingan too much affects vision?"
The Fourth Hokage, Minato, thought this more and more made sense.
Kakashi on the light screen also had the Mangekyō Sharingan, so what he said couldn't be nonsense.
"That's true. The Mangekyō Sharingan is too powerful; having a weakness in vision is only natural."
As everyone knows, the two great heroes of the ninja world during the Warring States period were Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.
The former had the unique Wood Release kekkei genkai, while the latter possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Under the overwhelming power of the First Hokage's Wood Release, Uchiha Madara earned the title of the Ninja World's Asura, showing just how extraordinary the Mangekyō was.
Hmm, the Fourth Hokage Minato didn't know that for Madara, the Sharingan was only a bonus; his strength didn't fully rely on his kekkei genkai.
"By the way, why didn't Fugaku, the Uchiha clan leader, have the Mangekyō Sharingan? If he did, the Uchiha's situation wouldn't have been so dangerous."
[The Shapeshifting Technique was originally just to buy time. When Kakashi and Naruto found Gaara, he had already been drained into an empty shell.]
[Naruto got angry and chased after Deidara, running out of the cave.]
[Kakashi followed closely behind. He quickly analyzed the situation — with Chiyo, the experienced elder, Sakura should be fine.]
[Although Deidara lost an arm, he was an aerial unit.]
[At this point, Kakashi's ranged attacks were a bit weak, and Naruto had no ranged attack at all.]
[So sorry, Kakashi's Mangekyō Sharingan genjutsu: Kamui, makes its official appearance.]
[While chasing Deidara, Kakashi closed his left eye tightly, concentrating for a while. When he opened it again, his eye had transformed into the Mangekyō pattern.]
[Kamui appeared. The space around Deidara began to warp. Kamui's long-range assassination was true damage, impossible to defend against.]
[Deidara really got frustrated: Why is it the damn Sharingan again?]
[Kakashi, using Kamui for the first time, was a bit clumsy. For such a super long-distance and moving target, he still couldn't aim precisely.]
[He originally wanted to finish the fight quickly, but in the end, he only managed to break Deidara's arm.]
[Under Naruto's Rasengan feint attack, Deidara fell into the forest, and Naruto took the chance to rescue Gaara.]
[On the ground, Deidara ran into Team Guy blocking his way.]
[With strong enemies ahead and pursuers behind, Deidara had no choice but to self-detonate.]
[The explosion was powerful, and to protect his comrades, Kakashi had to use Kamui to send the blast's force into another dimension.]
"Kakashi's Kamui seems a bit stronger than Obito's Kamui."
In the Second Hokage time-space.
Hashirama praised Kakashi's Kamui highly.
Madara gave Hashirama a tired glance and said, "These two Kamui aren't even in the same category, so there's no way to compare them."
"Yes, Kakashi's is an offensive Kamui, able to warp space and send people or parts of their bodies into another dimension. Obito's Kamui is more defensive in nature, so naturally it's weaker in attack."
"Tobirama, do you think this Kamui can affect me and Madara?"
Tobirama thought for a moment, nodded, and replied, "It should work, but you and Madara are too powerful now. The moment the space warps, your strength lets you break free instantly. To hurt you with this technique, you'd have to stay still."
"Hashirama, next time we time-travel, you're not seriously thinking of foolishly testing it out, right?"
Hearing Madara say that, Hashirama's face flushed red, and he shyly argued, "Of course not, I'm not that stupid."
Madara saw Hashirama's expression and immediately understood what was on his mind. He sighed heavily and said, "Just give up on that idea."
"Huh? Why? If I mess up, can't I just come back to life?"
"I said, you're not allowed to try."
"Tobirama, Madara is bullying me."
Tobirama rubbed his forehead, looking unable to watch the scene and said, "He bullies you? Don't you want to bully his brother back?"
Hashirama lightly punched his left hand with his right fist, suddenly enlightened, "That makes sense."
After saying that, Hashirama looked at Uchiha Izuna with burning eyes.
Uchiha Izuna was stunned.
You two Six Paths-level ninjas are "quarreling," can you stop dragging innocent people into it?
Also, "Damn you, Tobirama with the white hair! Can you just be a decent person? Do you want your big brother to finish me off?"
Tobirama shrugged, "Relax, my big brother knows his limits."
Damn, like you're the only one with a big brother.
Izuna twitched his mouth and looked at Madara with a wronged expression, "Big brother, look at him."
Madara gently patted Izuna's shoulder, comforting him, "It's fine. If Hashirama hits you, then I'll go hit Tobirama."
"Big brother, is there a chance you could stop Senju Hashirama from hitting me?"
"Stopping Hashirama takes too much energy. It's easier if I go hit Tobirama for you."
"But I don't want to get beaten."
At that moment, Izuna was helpless, while beside him, Senju Tobirama was chuckling quietly.
Instantly, Izuna pointed his anger at Tobirama again.
"Ha ha ha, what are you laughing at? If I get hit, you'll get hit too, won't you?"
"Really? I don't believe it."
After saying that, Tobirama swiftly moved away from the Uchiha brothers and came to Kushina's side.
"Did you forget? I can use Flying Thunder God."
"Sneaky white-haired Tobirama, don't get too proud. I will definitely find a way to counter your Flying Thunder God technique."
