Naruto: Transmigrated as Obito with the System

Rōshi, the jinchūriki of the Four-Tails, was once a shinobi of Iwagakure in the Land of Earth.

Due to his stubborn and headstrong personality, he clashed with the Tsuchikage and eventually left the village.

Now, Rōshi lives as a wandering monk, dedicating himself to travel and training, doing little else.

At this moment, Rōshi frowned slightly, scrutinizing the figure blocking his path.

The man before him was dressed in a flowing blue robe and wore a strange, unsettling mask. A massive white fan with a yellow handle and black trim was strapped to his back.

His eccentric outfit was matched only by the crazed grin plastered across his face as he chuckled without restraint.

After a moment of careful observation, Rōshi found no useful information and decided to be direct.

"Who are you, and why are you standing in my way?"

The man's grin faded slightly, and he responded in a lighthearted tone.

"I've long heard that your Lava Release is unmatched in the world. I'm here to challenge you and see it for myself."

Hearing this, Rōshi's frown smoothed out, his expression growing calm.

"So, you've done your homework. You came here prepared, then."

The man chuckled once more.

"To experience your Lava Release, I came all this way. Don't disappoint me, Rōshi."

Rōshi cast his bag to the side, his face hardening.

"You won't be disappointed, young man. I'm coming!"

With that, Rōshi leaped forward, his toes propelling him off the ground as he charged at the masked man.

"Good!" the man laughed maniacally. "Show me what you've got! Let's see if this trip was worth it!"

For the masked man, seeking power without relying on [the system] meant mastering abilities on his own. Among these, the Kekkei Genkai Lava Release was an ideal focus.

This was why he had gone to such lengths to track down and confront Rōshi—he wanted to sharpen his own skills using the jinchūriki as his grindstone.

As thoughts swirled in his mind, Rōshi had already finished weaving hand seals. Ten steps away from his opponent, he launched his technique.

"Lava Release: Scorching Flow Peak Rock!"

With a low growl, Rōshi spat out a series of molten orbs, each half a meter in diameter, which streaked toward the masked man.

Unfazed, the man calmly formed hand seals of his own and unleashed the same technique.

"Lava Release: Scorching Flow Peak Rock!"

A volley of molten spheres burst forth, colliding mid-air with Rōshi's attack.

"What?!" Rōshi's eyes widened in shock.

The enemy could also use Lava Release?!

A deafening explosion followed as the lava spheres lost momentum and crashed to the ground.

As the smoke cleared, Rōshi stood motionless, his gaze complicated as it lingered on the masked man.

"I didn't expect you to possess the Lava Release Kekkei Genkai as well. No wonder you came to challenge me…"

His eyes sharpened.

"Then let me show you the true power of Lava Release!"

The masked man's anticipation grew as a red, tail-like appendage sprouted from behind Rōshi. It moved like a living creature, brimming with ominous chakra.

"Try this!" Rōshi roared.

"This is my ultimate Lava Release technique, perfected over decades of practice!"

Molten chakra poured from Rōshi's body, enveloping him entirely. Scorching-hot lava flowed over his form, solidifying into a durable suit of armor.

Witnessing this transformation, the masked man's expression turned peculiar.

"Decades of training for your ultimate Lava Release… huh?"

He smirked.

"Well, I suppose my Lava Chakra Mode could also be called [the ultimate Lava Release]."

Thanks to [the system's] rewards, he had mastered it effortlessly—an irony that wasn't lost on him.

Rōshi had spent decades honing this ability, and yet… he could replicate it in seconds. It almost felt disrespectful.

After a brief hesitation, the man clapped his hands together.

"Lava Chakra Mode!"

Molten lava coursed over his skin, forming a thick, gleaming armor identical to Rōshi's.

"What?!"

Rōshi was stunned.

The armor he had spent a lifetime perfecting… this young man could also use it?!

For a fleeting moment, the calm he had cultivated over decades wavered.

He stared silently at his opponent before muttering, "Impressive, young man. Prepare yourself—I'm coming!"

Empowered by his Lava Chakra Mode and the Four-Tails' chakra, Rōshi's speed skyrocketed.

In a flash, he shattered the ground beneath him and closed the distance, delivering a powerful punch aimed at the man's face.

The masked man reacted swiftly, raising his arms to block.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A relentless barrage of heavy blows rained down, each strike chipping away at the molten armor.

As the masked man blocked and evaded, he marveled at Rōshi's precision.

"Your chakra control is incredible, Rōshi-senpai—so precise, so refined."

Rōshi ignored the compliment, his strikes unrelenting. He noted how his opponent could still analyze and converse mid-battle—an impressive show of confidence and skill.

After forcing the man back with a powerful palm strike, Rōshi summoned a weapon with a deft motion.

Molten chakra coalesced into a staff, roughly a meter and a half long, its diameter reducing to allow for speed and flexibility.

"Whoa," the masked man muttered.

For a moment, he stared at his own fan, lost in thought.

And yet, the battle continued.
