The Allied Forces stood frozen in shock, unable to make sense of what had just occurred.
Just one sentence from that man had driven Obito—nearly a god—into a divine frenzy. How was that even possible?
Amid their awe and reverence, a wave of fear surged within them.
Even Madara felt deep apprehension inside. "Good thing I didn't act prematurely, otherwise I might be the one going crazy right now!"
"Die already! Just die!" Roaring in rage, Obito swung the Sword of Nunoboko wildly like a man possessed.
Because his attacks came with no pattern or logic, everyone nearby kept their distance, afraid to get too close.
At that moment, Rin's voice suddenly echoed through Obito's chaotic mind.
"Obito, Obito..."
Hearing Rin's voice, Obito's eyes shot open, bloodshot as if he hadn't slept in ten days and nights. He roared, "Haaah! Don't think you can defeat me this easily!"
Witnessing Obito suppress the Ten-Tails' consciousness and break free from his madness, everyone was deeply shaken.
"What incredible conviction! Truly the mastermind behind the current order!"
"This is a man who has pursued his Ninja Way to the end!" Hashirama couldn't help but exclaim. "But I wonder what exactly his Ninja Way is?"
Suigyuu chuckled. "His Ninja Way seems to be 'love'!"
Hashirama nodded repeatedly. "Makes sense. He must also deeply love this world!"
Beside him, Jugo scratched his head in confusion. Is the 'love' the First Hokage understands the same as the 'love' Suigyuu is talking about?
"It's not over yet...!" Obito roared. Suddenly, he spat out a large mouthful of blood. He looked down in disbelief at the hand impaling through his chest, then slowly turned his stiff body around. "Black Zetsu!! Why?"
Weren't they supposed to share the same world and same dream?
"Because preparations aren't complete yet..." Black Zetsu sighed inwardly, but with a sly grin on his face, he said aloud, "Sorry, it's Madara who's meant to become god!"
Obito still couldn't understand. "It's the same [Infinite Tsukuyomi], so does it really matter who uses it?"
"Of course it does! Madara's world is a perfect one without war, an absolutely peaceful world! If you were in charge, the sun in the sky might end up being shaped like Rin, turning it into a lovey-dovey world!" As Black Zetsu spoke, he transformed into a puddle of black sludge and attached himself to Obito's body. "Now, it's time for you to repay Madara!"
The Allied Forces were stunned by the sudden betrayal, left reeling in unison.
Obito, who had subdued the Ten-Tails and resisted madness, was finally killed by his own ally?
Before they could react, a brilliant white light erupted, enveloping Madara.
[Gedo: Saibaiman]!
Without hesitation, the revived Madara quickly reclaimed the power from Obito and completed his transformation!
Boom!
An overwhelmingly mighty aura burst from Madara's body, shaking and intimidating everything around!
"Is this Hagoromo's power?" Madara closed his eyes in emotion and relief. He had underestimated how strong Obito could be as the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
If it weren't for the deep wound in Obito's heart, not even the heart-sealing talisman could have helped him reclaim this power!
"Come to think of it, I suppose I owe you all a thank you!" Madara cast a wary glance toward the Allied Forces, especially Mizuki, with the phantom shadow of Seiki looming behind him!
The fact that these people had managed to defeat Obito after his transformation into a god was something he had never imagined before!
Hashirama strode forward and frowned as he shouted, "Madara, so it's really you pulling the strings behind the scenes!"
Madara casually ripped out both of Obito's eyes and with a sickening squelch, pressed them into his own eye sockets. "Of course it's me! Other than me, who else has such strategic capabilities?"
"Does it make you proud to scheme against your own comrades?" Tobirama mocked. "It was precisely because you looked down on others and treated your allies and clansmen as tools that nobody wanted to follow you out of Konoha back then!"
"Enough!" Madara, touched on a sore spot, shouted in agitation, his composure breaking slightly. "All lives end, and all beauty fades into memory. The more emotions you invest, the more pain you'll harvest in the end. It's better to sever all bonds from the very beginning..."
Raikage said coldly, "Let's get this fight started. I didn't come here to listen to your heartfelt confessions!"
A slight twitch at the corner of Madara's mouth. Heartfelt confessions? Did this brute even know how to speak properly?
"Let's call it a day for now!"
Before he figured out why Obito had suddenly gone mad and found a solution, he temporarily had no intention of confronting that man.
Of course, saying that would make him seem fearful, so he couldn't say it outright.
Thus, Madara said in a flat tone, "You've just fought against Obito, and I won't take advantage of you. I'll generously give you a halftime break. It'll also let you have one last look at this world!"
"You're being this kind-hearted?" Tobirama wore a disbelieving expression. "Could it be that you're scared of Obito's fate and planning to retreat to find a solution secretly?"
"Nonsense! Does Obito's will even compare to mine?" Madara snorted coldly. "Just enjoy these final three days of your life!"
After finishing his words, he reabsorbed the God Tree into his body and activated Kamui, pulling all three into his space.
After the three disappeared, murmurs rose from the crowd.
"Is the final battle really going to start in three days?"
"Is the decisive battle finally coming? After this war ends, I'll retire and stop being a ninja!"
"Haha, I'm even looking forward to going back after the war to attend my daughter's wedding!"
Because of Obito's tragic downfall, everyone felt strangely at ease about the upcoming final battle in three days.
In fact, the atmosphere carried a subtle air of excitement!
Just as Seiki was preparing to release the possession, Sasuke approached and asked, "Lord Seiki, how is Naruto doing? Will he be able to make it for the final battle?"
Seiki smiled. "Don't worry. He has a solid foundation, and with my treatment, he'll recover in no more than a day!"
"That's good!" A slight upward curve formed on Sasuke's lips. "Fighting without that guy just wouldn't be as fun!"
"The final battle in three days, huh?" Raikage cracked his knuckles and gazed toward a distant direction. "Come to think of it, there's still some unfinished business to take care of in this war, isn't there?"
Third Raikage's eyes widened. "What's with that look?"
A shouted loudly, "Dad, I've decided not to seal you just yet. Let's have a few more fights first—consider it combat training before the final battle. Just don't go pulling any stunts like trying to ascend to heaven, alright?"
Third Raikage: (▼皿▼#)
...
Inside Kamui Space.
Black Zetsu put down the barely alive Obito and stepped forward to ask, "Lord Madara, should we have Kabuto continue harassing them for the next three days?"
Madara didn't answer. He simply gazed calmly at Black Zetsu.
Black Zetsu felt uneasy under the intensity of his stare and cautiously asked, "Lord Madara? What's wrong?"
Madara narrowed his eyes slightly. "Put the matter of Impure World Reincarnation aside for now. I've got a question—as a manifestation of my consciousness, how were you able to break through the Six Paths body with just your palm?"
