Now that the great battle is over, the Ninja World has temporarily returned to peace, and his abilities have greatly improved. It's the perfect time for internal team battles.
"You wouldn't want to use Kamui in an internal battle, right? There's a pretty affordable eyewear shop on the Konoha Shopping Street; want me to take you there later?" Kakashi raised an eyebrow as he spoke.
He's not worried about losing the battle; he's concerned Obito might overuse the Mangekyo Sharingan and ruin his good eyesight, ending up with nearsightedness or eventually blindness.
"No need! I don't need any glasses." Obito couldn't help but glare at Kakashi; he felt underestimated and wasn't going to carelessly use the Mangekyo Sharingan.
"My Kamui is quite versatile. As long as I use the abilities of my right eye sparingly, the side effects are minimal."
Even though both eyes possess Kamui, because of the differing effects, Obito gave them nicknames for distinction.
For example, the ability to shift himself between the real world and the Kamui Space using his right eye, Obito named it Void Kamui.
The ability using the left eye that can forcibly twist part of an enemy's body from a distance and send it into Kamui Space, he named Twisted Kamui.
Based on Obito's experience in battles, Twisted Kamui consumes much more than Void Kamui, both in terms of eye power and Chakra.
If Obito limits the number of times he uses Void Kamui, avoiding using Kamui to absorb people and refraining from using Twisted Kamui, the eye power consumed in battle is actually minimal.
"Besides, even without Kamui, my abilities surpass what they used to be!" Obito couldn't help but flash a proud smile.
With the evolution of the Sharingan, he gained more than just this dojutsu, Kamui. His Chakra also increased, and the basic abilities of the Mangekyo exceed that of the Three Tomoe.
Moreover, recently he's discovered another power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, which will definitely catch Kakashi off guard.
"It's good that you understand your limits." Kakashi saw that Obito already had a plan in mind, so he decided not to mock him further.
Then Kakashi thought about it and said, "How about this: let's add a new rule; abilities that cause too much self-harm cannot be used in internal battles."
"I think that works." Obito nodded.
Although he really wants to beat Kakashi, he didn't plan on using Twisted Kamui in their battle.
"No problem for me." Shisui also showed agreement.
Tsukuyomi consumes quite a bit of eye power; theoretically, Shisui suffers from the rule, but he believes the rule is necessary—safety first.
"So what about my Eight Gates?" Might Guy scratched his head, asking.
"You can't open any gates that would cause significant self-harm." Kakashi explained.
If the Eight Gates were completely banned, then Might Guy wouldn't need to fight and could join Nohara Rin on the spectator bench.
"So that means I can only use up to the Fifth Gate. No problem for me." Might Guy stroked his chin, considering.
The Sixth Gate alone is fine; but if he uses it alongside Breath of Rock Chakra Mode, it's unbearable.
In fact, even if Kakashi hadn't mentioned it, he didn't plan to use the Sixth Gate with the Breath of Rock Chakra Mode against his teammates. There's no need to go all out in a team battle.
"Since everyone agrees, let's have an internal ranking battle this week. I'll check with Teacher Mokgetsu in the evening to see when he's free." Kakashi said.
Their abilities now greatly exceed those of ordinary Jonin, so a full-force battle without a powerful presence watching could easily cause problems.
"An opportunity has finally come!" Obito laughed maniacally to himself.
It's been over four years; it's time for Uchiha Obito to become Mokgetsu's strongest disciple.
Though Kakashi seemed to benefit from version updates being the only one who could use all his techniques, that was a testament to Kakashi's weak strength—so weak he wasn't restricted by the rules!
Shisui's Tsukuyomi is restricted by rules and Kamiyakao-no-mikoto is too crucial, so it's not possible to use in disciple teasers, leaving his entire skillset unutilized.
Might Guy with the Five Gates plus Breath of Rock was strong, but if you could avoid his Golden Horizon and Hirudora, it was manageable.
"Looks like you've already snagged first place once." Kakashi teased, noticing Obito's uncontrollable grin.
Obito then realized his internal laughter had already broken into his smile, quickly adjusting his expression.
"Cough, cough, I don't know what you're talking about," he said with a look of seriousness.
They further discussed whether to inform Mokgetsu about the situation.
Eventually, they reached a consensus: they would tell Mokgetsu about future events, but not everything—only part of it.
Things like the Nine-tails rampage and the Uchiha massacre could be shared, but not the evil Akatsuki, to prevent Mokgetsu from internal struggles over positions and humanity.
In the evening, the disciples went together to Mokgetsu's house to find him.
If it were only to invite Mokgetsu to watch their battle, Kakashi alone would suffice, but they were ready to confess future matters, so it'd be better with more people present.
At this time, Mokgetsu was returning from Tsunade's house having just finished dinner.
"Why are you here at this time? Have you eaten?" Mokgetsu greeted the disciples with a smile.
To admit, the Dojutsu is indeed a convenient ability; due to the suspended time in there, it's perfect for storing hot dishes.
Mokgetsu had stored quite a few freshly cooked dishes inside, ready to pull out to eat anytime.
The disciples shook their heads. Feeling guilty, they made sure not to mooch a meal, having eaten beforehand.
"Sorry, Teacher Mokgetsu," the disciples said in unison.
"We betrayed your trust. During our time in Loulan, we secretly asked Captain Yamato about the future," Kakashi explained.
Mokgetsu was pondering what this could be, but upon hearing Kakashi's words, he quickly knocked each disciple lightly on the head with his index and middle fingers, then showed a helpless smile and said:
"I thought it was something big—if you know, you know. Just don't spread it around. I trust you won't use this information for anything bad."
He actually knew that Kakashi and the others had some misconceptions about another world, but Mokgetsu wasn't going to clarify.
From Kakashi's perspective, the other world had Namikaze Minato, the Third Hokage, so similar to their own—for them isn't that the future?
As for why Naruto didn't recognize Mokgetsu, it was easily explained: Mokgetsu had died early in history, so Naruto didn't even know Namikaze Minato was his father. Not knowing Mokgetsu was very reasonable.
Overall, since neither scenario had a negative side, Mokgetsu let them continue thinking this way.
"Haha, I knew Teacher Mokgetsu was open-minded and wouldn't be mad at us," Obito laughed sheepishly while rubbing the area where he'd been tapped.
"Don't worry, Teacher Mokgetsu. We won't tell anyone else but you."
"According to regular history, in Teacher Minato's twenty-third year, the Third Ninja World War ended, and Teacher Minato became Hokage. But a year after becoming Hokage, Nine-tails goes berserk, and Teacher Minato sacrifices himself."
"Eight years after the Nine-tails rampage, Uchiha Itachi, for unknown reasons, kills all the Uchiha Clan except his brother."
Obito swiftly explained the unrest related to the Nine-tails and the massacre of the Uchiha Clan.
"Teacher Mokgetsu, both Shisui and I can help with matters concerning the Uchiha, but for the rampage of the Nine-tails, we have no idea. That'll have to rely on you," Obito said earnestly.
Seeing Obito like this, Mokgetsu's expression was subtle.
He lightly tapped Obito's forehead with his finger, "There's no need to worry; none of those things will occur. I'll handle everything."
Given the current situation, even if Mokgetsu did nothing, the Nine-tails rampage would be unlikely to happen.
As for the Uchiha, Mokgetsu already established a new plan for conflict resolution, aiming to better integrate the Uchiha into Konoha.
PS: There will be another chapter later, also 4k words, likely around two o'clock.
Additionally, asking for moon tickets.
