"Ka... Kakashi..."
Obito struggled to get up and moved towards the arm.
"I need to bring this arm back to Kakashi. Maybe Rin can help him reattach it later..." Obito picked up the severed arm and thought about leaving.
But in his agitated struggle, the wound on his internal organs was instantly pulled. Obito felt a sharp pain in his abdomen again. The next moment, he glanced at the bandaged wound and saw fresh blood seeping through once more. Then, he felt his vision go dark, and he passed out again.
Uchiha Madara watched this scene coldly, showing no intention of helping him up.
Not long after, Uchiha Obito woke up again. He knew he was seriously injured and would need at least a few days to be able to walk. But time waited for no one. If he didn't bring Kakashi's arm back, Kakashi might truly become disabled!
Seeing Obito trying to struggle again as soon as he woke up, Uchiha Madara coldly scolded him, "I won't stop you if you want to leave. I won't stop you if you want to die. If your internal organs tear open again, I will not treat you a third time."
"Old man, can you please deliver this arm to Kakashi for me?" Obito pleaded, tears in his eyes.
"It's too late. The arm is completely necrotic. Even if delivered, it can't be reattached anymore..." Uchiha Madara sighed.
"No... That guy is so proud... He can't lose this arm..." Obito retorted agitatedly. As he struggled, the wound in his abdomen immediately began to ache again.
"I've told you, not everything in this world will go as you wish... You need to endure the pain of reality, and your companions must endure it too..."
Uchiha Madara began to instill in Obito the idea that reality is cruel.
Seeing that the arm beside him had clearly begun to swell and deteriorate, Obito could only finally accept this harsh reality with tears.
He no longer fixated on the arm. Now, he only wanted to recover from his injuries as quickly as possible and return to Kakashi and Rin's side.
During this period of recuperation, he finally learned the true identity of the old man before him. It turned out he was his ancestor, the former leader of the Uchiha clan, the once renowned 'Shinobi World Asura', Uchiha Madara!
After learning Uchiha Madara's identity, Obito became somewhat wary and guarded. But since the other had never harmed him from start to finish, he quickly felt at ease.
These past few days, he often intentionally or unintentionally chatted with the old man. Although Uchiha Madara was cold, he occasionally responded. However, his words were mostly filled with negativity, full of dissatisfaction and disappointment with this cruel world. He bluntly called the shinobi world hell!
In the dim secret room, Uchiha Madara said with a serious expression,
"I need you to help me. Help me sever the karma of this world. Help me create a beautiful world where there are only victors, only peace, only love, and where everything goes exactly as one wishes!"
"Stop talking nonsense... I'm not a god. How could I have the ability to create such a world..." Obito said impatiently.
"No, you can. If you are willing, I can tell you the method to become the Creator God, to become the savior!" Uchiha Madara's eyes were full of seriousness and determination.
Obito was surprised by his serious expression. After a long silence, Obito could only lower his head and mutter to himself,
"I just want to recover from my injuries, then return to my companions' side. I don't want to be any Creator God."
Hearing this, Uchiha Madara did not speak again. His gaze as he looked at Obito remained just as cold.
Three days later.
Just as Uchiha Obito was resting in bed, Aloe White Zetsu suddenly emerged from the wall and spoke anxiously,
"I just went outside. Land of Earth shinobi launched a large-scale attack on Land of Fire shinobi. The Konoha side is retreating steadily. Their entire camp was overrun by Iwa-nin... The idiot Kakashi and Rin that Obito talks about seem to have been surrounded by the enemy too..."
As soon as Aloe White Zetsu said this, Obito could no longer stay put.
He immediately flipped over and jumped out of bed, then dashed in front of a wall and threw a punch with all his might, smashing it hard against the wall.
Crack...
The punch made a dent in the wall, but Obito's hand also started bleeding.
"Too weak... What can you do even if you go to the battlefield? You'll just be a burden, won't you? In the end, you can't change anything..."
"Better to accept my legacy, inherit my will. I will give you the power to change the world. I will make you the savior of this world..."
"Shut up! You old madman!!!"
Seeing that Uchiha Madara was still chattering nonstop at a time like this, Obito became extremely irritated and couldn't help but shout angrily.
The next moment, Obito ignored the injury on his fist and began mindlessly pummeling the wall.
"Obito, you can't break through the wall like this. Let me help you..." Spiral White Zetsu suddenly came to Obito's side.
"Who told you to interfere? I want to see just how capable this ant is."
As soon as Uchiha Madara said this, Spiral White Zetsu, who had been about to possess Obito, immediately halted.
A short while later, Obito was panting from exhaustion. His fists were covered in wounds, and even the originally nearly healed abdominal wound had torn slightly.
Although Uchiha Madara had transplanted Hashirama cells onto Obito to fill the wound, he deliberately held back, not allowing Obito's injury to heal too quickly, all to have sufficient time for the subsequent plans.
"Bastard, let me out! I need to save Rin and Kakashi!!!"
Seeing that he couldn't break through the layers of heavy walls with his own strength, Obito seemed on the verge of collapse.
"Useless fool... Fine. Since you want to go outside and seek death, I'll grant your wish!" Uchiha Madara said, then gave a look to Spiral White Zetsu.
The next moment, Spiral White Zetsu easily smashed through one heavy wall after another with a single punch. A faint, pale moonlight quietly seeped in from the opening outside.
"Thank you for saving me. But I'm sorry, I must go..."
Before leaving, Obito didn't forget to turn around and bid farewell to Uchiha Madara.
"Don't come back again. I'll consider that I never saved you..." Uchiha Madara said with a cold expression.
Hearing this, Obito remained silent. The next moment, he turned his gaze back to Aloe White Zetsu.
"White one, where exactly are Rin and Kakashi? Lead the way!"
Aloe White Zetsu did not respond to Obito immediately, instead instinctively looking at Uchiha Madara.
"Take this trash there..."
Finally, Uchiha Madara reluctantly gave his consent!
Hearing this, Obito was deeply moved. The next moment, he even proactively bowed to Uchiha Madara.
He, Uchiha Obito, acknowledged this 'firm in speech but soft in heart' ancestor!
