Chapter 221: The Power of the Double Magatama Sharingan
"How about it? Do you dare to fight me?" Obito challenged.
"Do you think someone who's always been the victor would fear a loser's challenge?" Kakashi shot back coolly.
Though he wasn't entirely confident inside, Obito's arrogance irritated him.
"That was in the past. Now, I'm stronger," Obito said firmly, crossing his arms.
With his newly awakened two-tomoe Sharingan and improved Flame Breathing, his power had risen tremendously during the last mission. He wasn't just confident in facing Kakashi—he even believed he could challenge Shisui.
"You can say that after you've actually beaten me," Kakashi replied flatly.
As tension built between the two, Mugetsu stepped forward, acting as referee and gathering the other students to watch.
"A little competition now and then is healthy," Mugetsu said with a calm smile.
He had high expectations for Obito this time. Not only had his strength already surpassed Kakashi's in theory, but he'd also performed exceptionally well during the battle against the Kumogakure Jonin. Obito was no longer the same inexperienced boy from before.
Obito and Kakashi faced each other, forming the Confrontation Seal.
"Obito, Kakashi, both of you—good luck!" Rin cheered, raising her small fists.
Hearing her voice, Obito clenched his fists tightly. This time, he had to defeat Kakashi completely—to prove his strength to Rin.
"Begin!" Mugetsu announced.
Bang!
The moment the word left his lips, both Obito and Kakashi lunged forward, their fists colliding in midair.
"Kakashi, your punch still lacks power," Obito taunted, shifting his breathing rhythm as he entered the Flame Breathing state and pushed Kakashi back.
Kakashi didn't flinch. Using Obito's momentum, he stepped off a nearby tree trunk and counterattacked with a quick, sharp strike.
Their Taijutsu styles were polar opposites—Obito's attacks were wide and forceful, relying on raw power, while Kakashi's movements were precise and technical.
Each exchange sent waves of impact through the clearing, neither side gaining the upper hand.
"This is what youth should look like!" Might Guy said passionately, eyes gleaming with excitement. He could barely resist the urge to jump in and fight Kakashi himself.
Seeing him itching to move, Mugetsu calmly raised two fingers and waved them in front of Guy's face.
"Youth also needs rest."
Guy froze, immediately remembering his current recovery period. Intense training was still forbidden.
"Flame Breathing, Total Concentration Breathing!"
After several probing exchanges, Obito decided to go all out. He drew in deep breaths, inhaling a massive amount of oxygen to strengthen his body.
The instant he activated Total Concentration Breathing, his speed and power skyrocketed. Kakashi was instantly pressured.
"Lightning Breathing!"
Kakashi countered, entering his own breathing state. Though Lightning Breathing didn't provide as great a boost as Obito's Flame Breathing, it still heightened his speed and reflexes.
Swish!
Kakashi drew his White Fang Short Sword, slashing at blinding speed.
Obito reacted immediately, using the Body Flicker Technique to dodge. Despite his superior power, he knew better than to take a sword strike head-on.
After retreating, he rapidly formed hand seals and hurled a handful of shuriken toward Kakashi. The air around him heated as his Chakra flared.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Claw Crimson!"
Obito exhaled a massive fireball. As the shuriken passed through the flames, they transformed into blazing projectiles and rained toward Kakashi like a storm of meteors.
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"
Kakashi's hands moved swiftly. Chakra surged to his throat, transforming into lightning nature before he spat out a spear of crackling thunder.
Boom!
The lightning spear collided with the flaming shuriken midair. A tremendous explosion erupted, sending waves of heat and pressure through the training field. The ground was scorched black, and both boys' hair whipped violently from the shockwave.
"They're both incredible," Rin said in awe, watching the battle unfold.
Compared to the two, she felt her own combat ability lagged behind—her strength was still mostly in Taijutsu.
"He actually blocked my full-power Phoenix Sage Flower Claw Crimson, enhanced with Flame Breathing," Obito thought, narrowing his eyes. "Looks like I'll have to use my Sharingan after all."
He had hoped to defeat Kakashi without it, but clearly, that wasn't possible. Without his Sharingan, they were evenly matched.
Focusing his Chakra into his eyes, the familiar red glow returned—two tomoe forming in each eye.
"He finally activated it," Kakashi thought, tightening his grip on his sword. Though he knew he was at a disadvantage, retreat wasn't an option.
If he lost, Obito would never let him forget it—he'd probably bring it up every single day.
"Sharingan… and it's already two tomoe!" Shisui exclaimed in surprise as Obito's crimson eyes locked onto Kakashi.
Since Obito had slept through the entire previous day and only trained for a morning today, only Mugetsu and the others who were with him on the mission knew about his Sharingan awakening—and that it had manifested with two tomoe from the start.
Shisui was stunned. Obito hadn't possessed the Sharingan before their last mission, yet now he could wield it effortlessly. That could only mean he had awakened it during the mission itself. And since there hadn't been enough time to train or evolve it, it meant one thing—Obito's Sharingan had manifested with two tomoe upon awakening.
As an Uchiha, Shisui understood the weight of that fact. Obito's natural talent with the Sharingan was extraordinary. A faint sense of danger stirred within him—his own Sharingan still had only a single tomoe.
"That's the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan," Rin said softly, though she wasn't nearly as shocked as Shisui.
She knew what the Sharingan was—mostly because Obito often bragged that if he ever awakened it, he'd crush Kakashi easily—but she didn't fully grasp its significance, nor what awakening with two tomoe meant.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Obito, now filled with confidence, drew a Shuriken and hurled it toward Kakashi, then followed with a Kunai as he charged in.
Kakashi dodged the Shuriken, but Obito seized the opening, closing the distance.
Clang!
Kakashi's White Fang Short Sword clashed against Obito's Kunai repeatedly. Though Obito hadn't studied any specific blade technique, his Sharingan's keen perception combined with the physical enhancement from Flame Breathing allowed him to leave several shallow cuts on Kakashi's clothing.
"His observation skills are incredible. He's reading every move I make," Kakashi thought grimly.
When he first saw Obito activate his Sharingan, Kakashi assumed that even with it, Obito wouldn't be able to suppress a Jonin like the Kumogakure one they'd fought. He thought his swordsmanship could make up the difference. But in actual combat, the boost from the Sharingan was far beyond what he had anticipated.
"Purple Lightning!"
Realizing he couldn't continue trading blows, Kakashi gathered Chakra into his hand. A bright flash of violet electricity flared to life.
Obito immediately retreated—he had seen that jutsu's power before and wasn't foolish enough to face it head-on.
However, he hadn't expected Kakashi's attack to be a feint. Purple Lightning, like False Darkness, consumed an enormous amount of Chakra. Having used False Darkness once already, Kakashi was nearly drained.
Taking advantage of the distraction, Kakashi darted into the dense forest, using the terrain to his advantage.
He concealed himself behind a thick tree, disappearing from Obito's line of sight.
Obito leaped to higher ground, scanning the area with his Sharingan—but Kakashi's movements left no trace.
"It seems he's hiding there," Obito muttered, narrowing his eyes. He quickly formed hand seals.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
He inhaled deeply, gathering Chakra in his throat before exhaling a massive burst of flame. The roaring fireball expanded rapidly into a blazing sphere nearly three meters wide, surging straight toward Kakashi's hiding spot.
Obito knew how cunning Kakashi was. He used the Great Fireball not as a finishing move, but as a test. If Kakashi didn't move, he would be engulfed by the flames.
As expected, Kakashi dashed out just before impact.
Obito grinned, eyes flashing. He seized the opening, attacking instantly.
Poof!
His Kunai sliced through Kakashi's form—but it dissolved into a puff of smoke. A Shadow Clone.
"Lightning Breathing: Thunderclap Flash!"
The real Kakashi erupted from the ground behind Obito, having used Earth Release to conceal himself. Focusing his breathing to the limit, he channeled Chakra into his legs and exploded forward, striking at Obito with the hilt of his blade.
At that moment, Kakashi's speed was blinding. Rin could barely see him move.
But Obito wasn't alarmed—he smiled instead.
"Haha, I was waiting for that!" he shouted, eyes gleaming red.
To Obito's two-tomoe Sharingan, Kakashi's blinding motion was clear as day.
He matched Kakashi's breathing rhythm, moving at the perfect instant to dodge. Sliding to the side, Obito countered smoothly, placing his Kunai at Kakashi's neck.
"Obito wins," Mugetsu declared calmly. This time, the Kakashi before them was the real one.
The result was exactly what Mugetsu had anticipated—the advantage of the two-tomoe Sharingan was undeniable.
"Haha! I won this time!" Obito cheered, unable to hold back his excitement.
After four long years, he had finally defeated the genius he had always admired. He was no longer the dead-last Uchiha Obito—he was the genius Uchiha Obito, the one who had beaten Kakashi Hatake.
"Hard work truly brings great rewards!" Might Guy said emotionally, eyes glistening. He couldn't help but recall the day he himself first defeated Kakashi—the overwhelming joy of knowing his efforts had finally paid off.
