Chapter 163: All Just Shadow Clones, What’s There to Fear?
"Battle sounds are coming from this direction—it’s two shinobi from other villages… wait, that’s—"
"Scorch Release!"
"Could it be... Pakura-sensei?"
Several Sand shinobi rushed to the scene, their gazes locking onto the duel between Obito and Pakura. Their focus fell immediately on the latter, and their expressions froze in disbelief.
Among them, a young kuno...

A thoughtful glint flashed in Obito's eyes. Suddenly, he disappeared from his position, using Kamui to phase behind Pakura, intending to test her abilities.
Pakura reacted swiftly, immediately turning and unleashing a surge of Scorch Release chakra flames from the cloak surrounding her, forcing Obito to retreat.
However, Obito had anticipated this move. Once again, he used Kamui’s in...

Chapter 355: Kakashi: Come Home With Me, Tobi!
Tobi’s antics left everyone speechless.
Normal people didn’t bother engaging with his over-the-top personality. Pain and Konan instinctively covered their faces, unable to bear the embarrassment.
Haneda looked like he was ready to slap someone, while Kakashi barely managed to suppress his laughter but couldn’t stop a sly smile from escaping.
