Chapter 86 - Chapter 86: Obito Learns Shisui’s Instant Body Flicker Technique

Obito praised, "Shisui, your improvement speed is really fast. With this technique, you can already cause me a bit of trouble."

Shisui, however, felt a little disappointed, "Just trouble?"

He originally thought that after developing this Phantom Body Flicker Technique, the gap between him and Senior Obito had slightly narrowed.

But, as always, he still couldn't grasp Senior Obito's depth. He even felt that Obito still had many hidden cards he hadn't used.

He couldn't help but voice the doubt he had during the battle, "Senior Obito, the first time, when you hit my clone's illusionary image, your move was exhausted. When I found a flaw and attacked, you clearly couldn't react in time and had to escape using the Flying Thunder God."

"But why, the second time, were you able to suddenly react and catch my real body in an instant?"

Obito said, "Shisui, in battle, illusions and reality are intertwined. Didn't you already experience this in our first clash?"

"What makes you think that when I hit your illusion the first time, my move was actually exhausted, and I truly couldn't react?"

Shisui suddenly realized, "So, Senior, your failure to react and your escape with Flying Thunder God were intentional, creating a false impression for me. That way, when I attacked the second time, I would let my guard down."

Obito nodded. Come on, as a veteran in playing tricks, he had the deepest understanding of deception.

The moment he hit Shisui's illusion, he already knew how to follow up.

Simply put, it was baiting the opponent into launching a sneak attack, making them think he was careless and didn't dodge. When in reality, he had dodged.

Just like when he fought Minato.

Otherwise, with this kind of deceptive ability, if the opponent never attacked, it would be hard to find an opening.

At this moment, Shisui was completely speechless.

Obito smiled, "Alright, tell me about your technique."

Shisui nodded and started explaining in great detail…

After listening, Obito once again marveled at Shisui's genius.

Shisui had actually managed to achieve something similar to the Flying Thunder God using Sharingan's genjutsu, imprinting marks on each of his clones.

Although the teleportation distance wasn't as far as the Flying Thunder God, the clones could be numerous as his pupil power improved, and they could even move.

Moreover, what surprised Obito the most was that he had completely grasped the principles of this technique. There was no so-called learning barrier for him.

Even the most difficult part, using Sharingan's genjutsu to imprint marks on clones, was no challenge at all, thanks to his experience with Flying Thunder God and his higher-tier Mangekyō Sharingan.

After Shisui finished explaining, Obito immediately activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan and, in an instant, created more than a dozen clones.

Shisui, watching from the side, was dumbfounded and suddenly felt inferior, 'Senior Obito only listened to the theory once and has already mastered it.'

'And because of his superior pupil power, he can create even more clones than me.'

'Is this what a true genius looks like?'

Seeing Shisui looking dejected, Obito patted his shoulder, "Alright, don't feel down. I already told you, the reason I'm better than you now is because I'm older than you."

"This technique of yours is truly terrifying. The enemy can't attack your real body, nor can they destroy the clones like Shadow Clones. But when you attack, each clone can act as the real body—completely unpredictable."

"To be able to invent such a technique, your talent is no less than the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. You've already surpassed your ancestor, Uchiha Kagami."

Shisui instantly felt embarrassed.

Due to Kagami's influence, their lineage held great respect for the Second Hokage, 'Yet Senior Obito is saying my talent is on par with him? This is just… amazing.'

Seeing the corners of Shisui's mouth twitching upward, Obito thought for a moment and said, "Alright, Shisui, to thank you for teaching me this technique, I'll treat you to some Three-Colored Dango."

Shisui's eyes lit up, "Really? Although eating too many sweets isn't good, I really like the taste of Three-Colored Dango."

Obito smiled, "Of course it's true. Let's go."

And so, the two happily left the Uchiha district, heading toward the busiest street near the Hokage Building in Konoha.

On the way, they passed by the Konoha Ninja Academy.

Today happened to be the annual ninja graduation exam day. Many teachers were involved in the exam, so the academy had the whole day off, giving Shisui time to find Obito.

Obito noticed that many graduating students were gathered under the school building, just like the year they graduated, waiting for all their classmates to pass the exam.

He couldn't help but sigh, 'Time really flies. Without realizing it, it has already been a year since I officially became a ninja.'

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a familiar figure. Looking closely—it was… Anko.

He suddenly remembered that Anko was only a year younger than them, so it made sense that she was graduating now.

At this moment, Anko was already wearing a Konoha forehead protector, meaning she had passed the exam smoothly. However, she didn't seem to be in a good mood, slouching her shoulders and looking dejected.

Since Anko was Rin's friend, Obito felt he had a duty to look after her. Seeing her like this, he waved her over, "Anko, come here! We're going to eat Three-Colored Dango. Want to join?"

When Anko heard "Three-Colored Dango," perhaps her appetite overcame everything else, and she immediately brightened up, running over excitedly.

"Oh, it's Obito! And Shisui! Isn't Rin-senpai here today?"

Obito laughed, "Rin is helping her teacher set up for a wedding."

Anko was stunned, "A wedding? Obito, is your team's Jonin leader getting married?"

Obito nodded, "Yeah, the date is set for a week from now. Be sure to come! There'll be a lot of good food. The Mitarashi family should get an invitation, but if not, Rin can sneak you in."

Anko grinned and nodded, she had no resistance to delicious food.

Obito asked, "What's wrong? You didn't seem very happy just now."

Anko's expression darkened, as if recalling something unpleasant, "Normally, after the graduation exam, the teachers announce the team assignments early. That's how it was for your class last year. But…"

Anko spoke bitterly, "I didn't get my team assignment. I don't have a Jonin instructor. Do you think… nobody wants me?"

Obito was momentarily stunned, 'So at this point, Orochimaru has already taken Anko as his disciple?'

He chuckled, "Think about Shizune's situation. Maybe yours is similar."

Anko thought for a moment and suddenly realized, but her face still looked troubled, "But Lady Tsunade took Shizune away from the village. My situation isn't the same, is it?"

Obito didn't want to reveal anything about Orochimaru to Anko, fearing it might arouse suspicion. So he just said, "Then don't overthink it. Let's talk about something more important, Three-Colored Dango. Are you eating or not?"

Anko immediately declared with determination, "Of course I'm eating! I'll eat away all my sorrows!"
