The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 46 Obito, I stepped on your eye like a bubble!

Uchiha An was paralyzed by the power of lightning, and his reaction was slightly slower.

Kakashi's left arm, dragging lightning, charged straight in, breaking through his defenses and instantly slamming into him.

He instinctively reached out his left hand and pressed it against his right arm.

Do you want to use it now?

However, the thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before he immediately dismissed it.

His eyes flashed with a fierce light. Instead of retreating, he advanced, his left hand forming two fingers like a halberd, and thrust them straight at Kakashi's scarlet left eye.

Come on!

"Who's afraid of who!"

"Anyone who dodges is a coward!"

Kakashi's gaze was resolute. He thrust his left arm forward with force, and with a "whoosh," it pierced straight into Uchiha An's abdomen and emerged from his back.

The gushing blood spurted out of the wound and was instantly evaporated by the lightning.

Meanwhile, Uchiha An's fingers had already reached Kakashi's face.

Kakashi instinctively tilted his head to the left, even if it meant exposing his right eye to Uchiha An's fingers, just to protect the keepsake left to him by his best friend.

At the same time, he stepped back, as if to retreat.

But as Uchiha An retreated, his body moved forward, closely following, and with a flick of his finger, he easily gouged out his Sharingan.

After obtaining the item, Uchiha An immediately stopped and retreated, leaping backward at the same time as Kakashi, completely separating themselves.

Kakashi retreated to a distance, covering his bleeding eye with one hand, panting heavily.

Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai had already positioned themselves in front of him, protecting him firmly.

On the other side, Uchiha An was in an even worse situation.

A huge hole was exposed in his stomach, running straight through from front to back. It was a gaping hole, dripping with blood, and his severed intestines were spilling out. The flesh and blood at the wound site were charred by the lightning, but it actually helped to stop the bleeding.

The Mangekyou Sharingan spun wildly, and the granulation tissue on his abdomen began to grow and wriggle at a visible speed, gradually erasing the residual lightning at the wound.

Uchiha An swayed unsteadily, barely able to stand, but he held the Sharingan in one hand, laughing wildly as if the injuries on his body didn't exist at all.

"Ha ha……"

"Kakashi, isn't this Obito's eye?"

"I took it back for him!"

With a forceful clench of his left hand, he crushed the rare Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan with a "poof"!

"Poor Obito!"

"We'll never be able to put our eyes together again!"

"Let's see how he pilots a Gundam in the future!"

"He must be heartbroken right now!"

"Ha ha……"

Kakashi had no idea that Obito was still alive. Now, watching as his best friend crushed the precious eye that had been left to him by Uchiha An, Kakashi's remaining eye was filled with pain and hatred, and he felt like it was about to breathe fire.

He took a couple of breaths and said urgently:

"His recovery ability is very strong; we can't give him time to recover! Let's go!"

"Okay!" Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi agreed and immediately rushed forward, unleashing ninjutsu from afar.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

"Magic. Hellfire!"

The two ninjutsu techniques combined instantly engulfed the entire ground in flames, making it impossible to distinguish which was real and which was fake.

"Hmph!" Uchiha An snorted coldly, pressing one hand against the hole in his abdomen to continue the treatment. At the same time, with a thought, Susanoo rose up from the ground again.

When Kakashi attacked Susanoo earlier, it was captured by the "Welcoming Thousand Hands Kill" and did not play a significant role.

But this time was different. As Uchiha An activated Susanoo, he controlled it to reach down and take off the herb gourd on its back, then tilt it downwards.

A massive swarm of phosphorus-destroying insects once again poured out of their nests, cascading down like a waterfall.

After he finished his work, he looked down again and saw that the ground bulged upwards, and Kakashi had used Earth Release to rush in again.

Given Kakashi's swordsmanship, if someone were to fight him in a taijutsu match while severely injured, they would most likely be killed on the spot.

Therefore, Uchiha An had no intention of engaging in close combat with him, but instead chose to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, directly competing with him to see who could survive longer.

As a result, when Kakashi rushed in, he looked up and was immediately startled to see a swarm of phosphorescent insects coming towards him.

However, his reaction speed was fast enough; his fingers twisted into afterimages, and with a "whoosh," he slipped away again.

"Haha..." Uchiha An stood amidst the swarm of insects, manipulating his herb gourd to retract the insects, and laughed loudly:

"My kaleidoscope has no other special ability than being incredibly durable!"

"You want to trade injury for injury, life for life?"

"Come on, come on!"

"Let's see who wins this trade!"

The three stared grimly at the herb gourd hanging high in the air. A moment of silence followed, and after a long pause, Kakashi finally spoke in a low voice:

"Until we crack the toxicity of the phosphorus worm, we have no way to deal with it."

"This infiltration operation has failed, and the mission to capture the rogue ninja has also failed."

"As for intelligence, it can't be said that we gained nothing at all."

"At least we can confirm that Uchiha An is still alive, and Uchiha Itachi may not have betrayed us. We can try to make further contact."

"Let's retreat. When we meet again, with sufficient intelligence and preparation, we will surely be able to take down Uchiha An in one fell swoop."

After the three finished their discussion, they left without hesitation.

Uchiha An was busy healing his injuries and couldn't stop them, so he could only let them leave.

After a long time, Uchiha An finally repaired the hole in his abdomen and returned to Amegakure dejectedly.

The fact that neither of his eyes possessed any eye techniques that directly increased his attack power was quite a blow to him.

Susanoo is good, but it is ultimately too monotonous.

As if things weren't bad enough, he had barely entered the tower when he saw Obito already waiting for him. Upon seeing him return, Obito sneered:

"Yo, isn't this the all-knowing Uchiha An?"

"This time, they must have won a great victory, annihilating all the invading ninjas, right?"

"Huh? How come you're injured?"

"Could it be that you didn't foresee the enemy's intelligence?"

Upon seeing Obito's sarcastic and strange demeanor, Uchiha An felt a surge of anger, but instead of getting angry, he smiled and said to Obito:

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, Obito."

"I promised you I'd help you take down your best buddy Kakashi!"

"Who knew he was so slippery, he actually ran away with his new teammates!"

"I originally intended to keep him, but after a lot of effort, I only managed to save one of his eyes!"

At this point, Uchiha An suddenly feigned realization, clapped his hands, and exclaimed:

"Huh!"

"I think I've suddenly remembered... Kakashi's eye actually belonged to Obito!"

"Oh dear, if only I had remembered this earlier, I would have brought that eye back to you."

"Look at me! I was so careless! That precious Mangekyou Sharingan, I just stepped on it like a bubble!"

"What?!" This time, Obito broke down again, unable to control his anger, and charged forward.

"You deserve to die!"

"How dare you!"

Uchiha An looked at him with a cold smile, seemingly completely unguarded, and simply pointed upwards.

"Hey, Obito, the leader clearly stated that infighting is strictly prohibited within the organization!"

"Internal strife is forbidden!"

"You..." Obito's kaleidoscope eyes spun violently, and he almost lunged forward to fight several times, but in the end he still withdrew.

"I won't let you off the hook once the plan succeeds!"

He uttered a vicious threat, then turned and left, leaving Uchiha An behind him with a burst of unrestrained laughter.

"Haha... Obito, you really are good at backing down!"

Obito trembled all over, but considering the importance of the final "Eye of the Moon" plan, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

He hurried away from the tower, afraid that he might lose control and turn back to kill that damned guy.

You wait!

Once Nagato recovers, you'll be useless!

He was filled with malice, cursing Uchiha An with oaths and vows, but his actions betrayed his words; he kept walking and quickly moved away from the place.
