Obito's mouth twitched. It was as if saying his name brought bad luck.
When he was called Madara Uchiha, he might not have been a mastermind, but at least he was resourceful and far-sighted.
Yet the moment he slipped back into being "Obito," his intelligence seemed to abandon him again!
How could he make such a basic mistake?
Seeing this, the others immediately understood—the name "Uchiha Madara" had clearly been a deliberate act to intimidate them!
But then, who exactly was this "Uchiha Obito"?
Someone so powerful should have been widely known, shouldn't he?
Not only were they confused, even Sasuke was inwardly surprised, "He's also from the Uchiha clan? Why have I never heard of him before?"
Xianglin was terrified, praying frantically in her heart, "Please don't let this creep be a woman!"
She knew restoring the Uchiha clan had always been Sasuke's goal. Although the Uchiha clan had once again shaken the shinobi world under the influence of Itachi and Sasuke, revival wasn't just about reputation—it was also about population!
She had always considered increasing that population her personal mission, even secretly planning to knock her up every year with Sasuke.
But this guy was just too ideal a candidate. If she turned out to be a woman, who knows? Maybe Sasuke would actually choose her to preserve the clan's bloodline purity.
In the midst of the awkward atmosphere, Obito gave up trying and simply tore off the mask on his face, revealing his horrifying appearance. "Ha! That's right! It's me!"
"You know what? I must admit, I'm actually quite moved," he continued. "Even though I changed my voice and habits, you still recognized me. You truly are my great teammate, Kakashi!"
Kakashi looked ashamed, "Actually... I didn't recognize you at all."
Obito's smile immediately froze, his face twisting in rage as he asked, "Then how exactly did you recognize me?"
"I..." Kakashi hesitated, unable to answer.
"Enough! This boring reunion is over!" Raikage A interrupted impatiently, stepping forward. "Tell me, what exactly do you intend to do?"
"What do I want to do? Great question!" Obito laughed loudly, spreading his arms as if embracing the world. "I intend to create a world without conflict, without pain—a truly peaceful world!"
The others exchanged uneasy glances. Those words just didn't sound right coming from a villain.
A scoffed, "That's completely impossible! And I don't see even the slightest sign of peace in your methods. Don't tell me—you're planning to kill everyone to achieve real peace?"
Unexpectedly, Obito didn't refute but instead seriously considered the words. "In a way... you're not wrong."
The group couldn't help but curse out loud—What the hell are you thinking?! Who creates peace by killing everyone?
The more furious and insulting they became, the happier Obito seemed. "Hahaha! You're already angry? This is nothing! You're nowhere close to understanding my pain!"
"This version of Obito in this timeline is twisted!" Mizuki muttered to himself. "Indeed, without Seiki, this world will never find salvation!"
Kakashi took a deep breath. "Impossible! The Obito I remember absolutely wouldn't be like this!"
"That's because the Obito you remember is gone!"
Obito sneered, his composure returning. "I'll put it this way: I'm collecting the Bijuu to gain the greatest power in the world, then I'll project my eyes onto the Moon to cast a genjutsu—the Infinite Tsukuyomi!"
"At that time, all people across the world will immerse themselves in the same illusion realm. In that world, there will be no conflicts or divisions; everyone will live happily and contentedly... That's right, I'm going to create exactly such a truly peaceful world!"
At this moment, Seiki suddenly said, "Isn't it to create a world with Rin?"
Obito's face twisted in anger. Damn it, how does this guy know what he's thinking?
Kakashi was shocked. "Is your real purpose all about Rin?"
Obito shouted emotionally, "You bastard, what makes you qualified to even mention Rin's name?"
"Who is Rin?" Naruto asked in confusion.
"Rin Nohara, a very gentle and kind-hearted girl!" Even Tsunade remembered her clearly because she could already master the Mystical Palm Technique at twelve or thirteen, showing great talent in Medical Ninjutsu.
While everyone had initially been astonished by Obito's capacity and ideals, his image as a heroic strategist instantly collapsed upon hearing Seiki and Kakashi's words.
Damn, this guy was dragging the entire world into an illusion realm just to be with a woman!
What a lunatic!
Why not just cast a genjutsu on yourself if you want to see her in the illusion realm?
Seeing the disgust and contempt in everyone's eyes, Obito furiously shouted, "What's with those looks? You think my idea is ridiculous?"
"Not ridiculous, just stupid!" A muttered angrily. "If everyone falls into an illusion, they'll all starve to death within days, so how could your genjutsu last that long?"
Obito confidently replied, "The Tsukuyomi can freely manipulate time within the illusion realm. With Infinite Tsukuyomi, living an entire life within the dream would only be a fleeting moment in the real world!"
A lot of people actually found the idea appealing. If that's really how it works, it doesn't sound so bad after all!
Isn't it like getting a second life?
Onoki asked, "Then what? Will you break the genjutsu?"
Obito was silent for a moment. "I don't know."
"Don't know? What does that mean?" Gaara followed up.
"Exactly what it sounds like. I don't know either whether this genjutsu can be broken. Anyway, at worst, we'll just keep cycling endlessly within the Infinite Tsukuyomi!" Obito said with a dreamy look.
Many people instinctively slapped their own faces—how could they be so stupid to actually believe a madman's dream!
Kakashi still clung to a faint hope, "Can't you just use Tsukuyomi on yourself?"
Obito slightly shook his head, "No, Rin would be lonely!"
To build an illusory world that feels real, even becoming a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki would struggle to achieve. Only by making everyone fall into an illusion realm and merging everyone's dreams together could you create a real illusory world!
"There's nothing more to discuss with this madman. After all, only Obito and one other person remain from Akatsuki!" A shouted loudly.
"Oh? Are you saying you want to declare war?" Obito slightly raised his head, looking down at the people below.
"Declare war? And what makes you think you can declare war against us?"
"With the White Zetsu Army of one hundred thousand under my control, the warriors summoned via Impure World Reincarnation from every village, and seven Bijuu!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd was thrown into chaos.
No one expected that Akatsuki, which seemed to be nearing its end, could still reveal such strength!
"One hundred thousand troops? That's an army of terrifying scale!"
"Impure World Reincarnation? Could it be the forbidden jutsu created by the legendary Second Hokage?"
"Damn it! All of this is because of those damn Konoha bastards!"
While the others were in shock and disarray, the Konoha ninjas remained remarkably calm.
This level of power was nothing like what Mizuki described!
