'Uchiha Madara?'
Hearing this name, both Shisui and Izumi were momentarily stunned.
'Such an ancient name.'
'This guy was actually trying to intimidate us with a name so old that no one would believe it.'
"Haha, an Uchiha Madara who hides behind a mask to scare people?"
"You look more like a clown from a circus."
It must be said that after being with Naruto for a long time, Shisui's eloquence has become a little sharper.
Izumi was taken aback. After all, the Shisui she knew wouldn't have spoken like this.
Shisui's words made Obito's face beneath the mask darken. It had been a long time since anyone dared to speak to him like this.
"Boy, don't mistake ignorance for courage. Have you ever seen me at my peak?"
The right eye beneath Obito's mask glowed crimson, the three tomoe spinning and transforming into a complex shuriken pattern.
"Mangekyo Sharingan?"
Shisui's heart skipped a beat, 'Why did all these masked guys have Mangekyo Sharingan?'
Shisui's eyes also changed, but it was only a three-magatama Sharingan.
'Sharingan?'
Now it was Obito's turn to be surprised, 'According to the intelligence, Shisui's eyes had been gouged out and replaced with ordinary ones.'
'Damn you, Zetsu. Can't you even gather proper intel?'
Obito didn't know that Shisui's eyes were just ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan.
So Obito began to sweat. While Kamui was powerful, Kotoamatsukami was too dangerous. It wasn't worth the risk to fight him here.
"Boy, you have talent. I'm willing to give you a chance. If you're interested in joining my organization, come find me."
After saying this, Obito turned around and rushed towards the direction of the Military Police Force.
And watching his retreating figure, Shisui let out a sigh of relief. He only has the three tomoe Sharingan, so facing a Mangekyo was incredibly stressful.
"Izumi, how are you feeling?" Shisui asked.
"Fortunately, I didn't get hurt."
Izumi instinctively replied. Although she had nearly died just now, she hadn't actually sustained any injuries… just a bit of numbness in her hands.
"Then you should be able to go to Naka Shrine by yourself, right?"
"Yes, I'll be fine. Shisui-nii, I can't believe you're still alive. If Itachi knew..."
"Don't mention that bastard!"
Before Izumi could finish, Shisui cut her off, his expression twisting with anger.
"Shi-Shisui-nii?"
Izumi was at a loss. She didn't know what she had said wrong.
Shisui forced himself to calm down and spoke in a low voice: "Uchiha Itachi has betrayed the clan. He's slaughtering Uchiha civilians right now. I have to go save them!"
"Th-that can't be! Itachi, he..." Izumi couldn't believe it.
"I don't have time to explain. Head to the Naka Shrine on your own. If you run into Itachi, just run. I have to go."
Shisui was in a hurry and didn't want to waste more time. His figure quickly vanished. Even without the Mangekyo, his Body Flicker Technique was still top-tier in the Ninja World.
Izumi was left alone, staggering toward a direction that wasn't the Naka Shrine… it was her home, where her mother was.

Meanwhile, Obito had finally arrived at the Military Police Force. What he didn't expect was that the pressure here would be even greater than before.
"Hmm? Why is the Military Police Force so deserted?"
Standing at the entrance, the building was pitch black, which made Obito slightly uneasy.
'It wasn't that late. Normally, the Military Police Force would still be lit up at this hour.'
"Zetsu, do a scan."
"Understood."
The venus flytrap-like figure emerged again, closing his eyes to sense the surroundings, but a barrier blocked his perception.
"There's a barrier. I can't sense what's inside."
Obito frowned again. He hadn't expected what he thought would be a simple task to become so complicated.
"Did someone leak my intel?"
"Do you still want to go in?"
Zetsu asked Obito.
Obito couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, and said arrogantly: "Go in, even if they know the information, with Kamui, I'm invincible!"
Zetsu retreated into the ground. He was just an intelligence gatherer, with no combat abilities.
The moment Obito stepped into the Military Police Force's lobby, the doors behind him slammed shut. Instantly, he felt the gaze of over a dozen three tomoe Sharingan fixed on him. Flickers of firelight erupted in the darkness.
Obito immediately activated his intangibility.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"
Several fire dragons shot toward Obito, but they passed right through him, exploding on the ground and turning the lobby into a sea of flames. The blaze illuminated the room, revealing over a dozen Uchiha with three tomoe Sharingan staring directly at him.
"Quite the fireworks display."
Obito couldn't help but compliment the spectacle. Seeing all the attack miss, he was about to deactivate his intangibility when more Uchiha began forming hand seals.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"
The flames came again, forcing Obito to maintain his intangibility.
"Haha, do you really think this will work on me?"
Fortunately, Obito was wearing a mask. Though his words were full of disdain, cold sweat was already forming on his forehead.
His intangibility could only last five minutes at a time. After that, he would revert to his physical form.
"Humph! So you're the one claiming to be Uchiha Madara?"
A hoarse voice suddenly rang out. Obito turned to see a chair positioned directly across from the entrance. Sitting on it was an elderly man with gray hair and a face full of wrinkles.
"Uchiha Setsuna?"
Obito frowned and said in a deep voice: "I am Uchiha Madara!"
Hearing this, Setsuna stood up from his chair, his cloudy eyes glaring at Obito as he roared:
"Disgusting creature, how dare you call yourself Uchiha Madara!"
"Bastard!"
"Third squad, keep using Fire Release!"
"Yes!"
"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"
As Setsuna's command, more Uchiha began forming hand seals. The flames, which had barely died down, roared back to life.
This time, Obito's expression completely changed.
'This old man definitely knew my weakness!'
