Chapter 338 - Chapter 338: This is just scum!

"How could Madara Uchiha possibly use force to control Obito if he wanted to entrust him with his plan?"

Upon hearing Mirai Uchiha's answer, Rin Nohara asked in confusion, "Then why didn't Obito return to Konoha? Given Obito's personality, he wouldn't really be willing to carry out Madara Uchiha's plan, would he?"

Mirai smiled. "Rin, you don't need to worry yet. Allow me to explain everything slowly."

"When Obito Uchiha was saved by Madara Uchiha back then, half of his body was severely damaged, so he could temporarily stay only within an underground cavern to recover and train."

"At that time, Obito had no interest in Madara Uchiha's plan at all. His sole thought was to break out of the underground cavern and return to Konoha once his body recovered."

"However... under Madara Uchiha's design, you and Kakashi Hatake were targeted by Kiri ninja, and through the power of the Sharingan, Madara continuously influenced your consciousness until during battle, Kakashi accidentally killed you."

As Mirai recounted these memories, old recollections surfaced in Rin's mind.

Even back then, Rin herself had felt puzzled, unable to understand why she had willingly thrown herself onto Kakashi's Chidori.

Later, she made up a feeble excuse: 'I didn't want to burden Kakashi. Perhaps after my death, Kakashi could escape.'

Now it appeared that her subconscious had actually been manipulated by Madara Uchiha!

But still…

What exactly was Madara Uchiha's purpose in targeting her?

Before Rin could finish this line of thought, Mirai continued, "Under Madara Uchiha's design, Obito witnessed your death at Kakashi's hands."

"In extreme grief, Obito Uchiha instantly awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan."

At those words, Tsunade and the others turned their eyes toward Rin.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi and others were overthrown, many hidden truths about the Uchiha Clan finally came to light.

It was common knowledge that when an Uchiha ninja experienced deep loss — especially the loss of someone they deeply loved — they would undergo intense emotional trauma, triggering an evolution of their Sharingan.

Obito, regarded as the weakest among the Uchiha, had only awakened a single-tomoe Sharingan during the Third Great Ninja War.

Yet after witnessing Rin's death, his Sharingan evolved straight into the Mangekyo Sharingan.

The implications were painfully clear.

Feeling everyone's gaze upon her, Rin flushed slightly and quickly explained to Mirai, "Future, I swear, I never knew any of this!"

"I have absolutely no romantic feelings for Obito—I've only ever seen him as a comrade!"

Facing Rin's explanation, Mirai simply chuckled. "Rin, if even Obito Uchiha surpasses me in charm, then I definitely wouldn't have so many wives constantly longing for bonding sessions with me."

"Pfft!"

All the women couldn't help but scoff in disgust.

"What kind of justification is that—'team-building activity'?!"

"Hahahaha..." Seeing Tsunade and others' reactions, Mirai Uchiha laughed loudly before continuing his story.

"After Obito Uchiha awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, just as he was about to rush out, he saw me appear and slaughter all those Kiri ninja."

"'And after witnessing me resurrect you, he chose to abandon this world.'"

"'In his words, he wanted to create a world where everyone could get whatever they desired.'"

Hearing this, Tsunade and the others couldn't help but softly snort.

If it was about wanting to change the ninja world after witnessing your beloved being killed by your most trusted comrade, they could understand—at least somewhat.

But when Rin had clearly been brought back to life, yet he still chose the irreversible path, it was hard to sympathize.

Everyone gets what they desire?

Pfft!

Was that really for the betterment of the ninja world?

No—it's just that he lusted after Rin's body!

Despicable!

Unaware of the women's inner thoughts, Mirai continued on: "Later, Obito disguised himself as Madara, wandering throughout the ninja world."

"'The entire Akatsuki Organization's affairs were orchestrated by Obito Uchiha.'"

Mirai turned his gaze toward Konan beside him. "He not only pitted the Akatsuki Organization against Hanzo, but also orchestrated a massacre of every single Akatsuki member after Yahiko and Nagato went to rescue you."

"It was all done so that Nagato would become corrupted, helping him collect the nine Tailed Beasts."

A look of fury appeared on Konan's face.

That's why Hanzo attacked us without warning.

We originally suspected Danzo Shimura was scheming behind our backs, never expecting the real culprit behind everything was that wretch Obito Uchiha!

Didn't Rin say before that Obito was a genuinely kind-hearted comrade?!

Feeling Konan's glare, Rin Nohara didn't know how to explain at all.

In her memory, Obito wasn't like this at all.

"Besides the Akatsuki matter, the mysterious masked man who attacked Kushina around Naruto's birth was none other than Obito Uchiha."

[His Scheme Against Kushina] He plotted to extract the Nine-Tails from Kushina's body while she was at her weakest, attempting to use the beast to destroy Konoha!

"Fortunately, I had already communicated with Kurama beforehand, so his scheme failed."

They had heard about Kushina having been attacked by an unknown assailant around the time of Naruto's birth.

That person slapped explosive tags all over baby Naruto and even attempted to extract the Nine-Tails from Kushina's body.

He truly was a merciless man.

Never did we expect that masked man to actually be Obito Uchiha!

Rin Nohara felt like her brain had completely shut down.

The image she held in her memory—that of a cheerful guy always rushing to help elderly women cross the street—crumbled right before her eyes.

Kushina was Minato-sensei's wife, and among the three of them, she'd always liked Obito the best.

Kushina always stood up for Obito, never let anyone pick on him, and often cheered him up after Kakashi got to him. Sometimes, she even slipped him some cash...

How could Obito do something like this?

"What a piece of trash!" Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help but snap. "He doesn't have a shred of humanity left!"

Tsunade and the others nodded in agreement.

Someone like Obito Uchiha didn't deserve a speck of sympathy—even if he died ten thousand times over.

Even Rin herself erased all bonds of former comradeship at this moment.

Just thinking about how she used to cry over someone like that made her want to slap herself.

She had truly been so foolish back then.

"Mirai Uchiha, what happened next?"

"Later?" Mirai Uchiha rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Later, Obito Uchiha attacked me—I killed him."

"Then I used the Rinnegan from his hand to summon the Ten-Tails' body and Rise again it successfully."

"I am now the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki."
