"So this masked guy is not Uchiha Madara."
When Konan and Nagato saw that young face, they both instantly realized they had been deceived.
"Who is this guy called Obito. Why have I never heard of such a person in the ninja world. Also, is he here for comedy. He acted like a transcendent master for so long, only to be instantly killed by the Dragon Lord."
Deidara could not help but complain.
"Master Sasori, Lord Kakuzu, do you know what is going on."
"I do not know. Uchiha Obito... I have never even heard this name."
"I do not know either... You should ask Zero Pain about this, after all, he was the one who found him." Sasori of the Red Sand glanced at Nagato and spoke lightly.
"Because his space ninjutsu was used flawlessly, plus he possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, and claimed to be Uchiha Madara... we always believed he was that 'Shura of the Ninja World'... We never expected he was a fake."
Konan proactively stepped forward to explain.
"He said it and you just believed him. You did not even make him take off his mask to confirm." Deidara instinctively complained again.
"..."
"..."
After Deidara said this, neither Nagato nor Konan had the nerve to speak anymore.
"Master Sasori, what did they mean by those words. Things like 'your Sharingan is mine', how can eyes not be your own."
Deidara was somewhat curious about the whole story of the matter, so he instinctively nudged Sasori of the Red Sand beside him with his elbow. This action instantly angered Sasori of the Red Sand, who was carefully listening to the secrets.
"Stop talking nonsense, I do not have time for you now."
"Uh..."
Below.
"This is impossible. How can you be sure I would definitely awaken it (the Mangekyo). Also, today is our first meeting. Moreover, back then you were the lofty Dragon Lord, and I was just an ordinary Konoha Chunin. There is no way our paths could have crossed."
"Your words are full of holes."
Uchiha Obito did not lose his ability to think because of Ryun's few words, and what the other party said was simply too unbelievable.
"Heh, why am I sure you could awaken it. Then why are you sure Itachi would awaken it."
Ryun smiled and countered, his words causing the expressions of Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi to change drastically.
When the chess player does not proactively clarify the truth, the pawns never know they are pawns. Itachi's fate was arranged by Obito, and Obito's fate was arranged by Uchiha Madara. Speaking of which, their tragic fates were actually no different.
"I do not know what you are talking about. If they are not my eyes, how could I possibly awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan. Do not speak in riddles, explain yourself clearly." One minute had passed. The sealing formula on his right eye was about to be broken.
"The Mangekyo Sharingan is called the eye that reflects the heart. The conditions for its awakening depend more on the holder's state of mind and mental stimulation at the time. Whether the eyes are one's own is not important. Even a person from another clan possessing the Sharingan can still awaken it as long as the negative mental stimulation is strong enough."
After saying this, before Uchiha Obito could ask again, Ryun used a Body Flicker Technique and closed in.
"You."
Uchiha Obito's face changed. In ten more seconds his eye would be usable, but unfortunately the other party had no intention of giving him this chance.
Ryun's close quarters combat made him feel enormous pressure. At this moment, he did not even have a chance to perform ninjutsu. Facing the Dragon Lord going all out, Obito felt he was teetering on the edge of life and death every second.
When he desperately held on until the fifth second, Ryun seized the opportunity and grabbed his throat. Just as his remaining left eye was about to be gouged out, black flames suddenly erupted on Ryun's body.
Uchiha Itachi had mustered all his strength to launch one final Amaterasu at him.
"Wood Style, Tree Binding Death."
Black Zetsu could not help but make a move now. Obito was an important pawn for Madara, he could not die here.
A large number of vines quickly entangled Ryun's body, forming a strangling posture in the blink of an eye.
Facing the sudden attacks from Uchiha Itachi and Black Zetsu, Ryun neither dodged nor avoided them, and his grip on Uchiha Obito's throat did not loosen in the slightest.
Inside his body, the Sage Purple Dan trembled violently, and a vast amount of Senjutsu Chakra began to surge wildly throughout his body.
The next moment, a terrifying energy erupted from the surface of Ryun's body. The Amaterasu black flames covering him and the vines were instantly shattered.
Crack.
In the final second before the sealing formula was about to be worn away, Ryun ignored Uchiha Obito's curses, roars, punches, and kicks, and withstood the damage to gouge out his last eye.
"Ah."
Blood splattered, staining Ryun's hands red, but at this moment he seemed exceptionally cold and indifferent. Those Sharingan eyes held only desire and obsession for power. He directly ignored Obito, who was screaming and wailing in front of him.
"Wood Style, All-Encompassing Hand."
A pair of wooden hands suddenly emerged from the ground and slammed hard into Ryun's body.
The next moment, Black Zetsu pounced on Uchiha Obito. The moment they hit the ground, Black Zetsu immediately used an Earth Release technique to burrow underground.
Crack.
The sound of wood splintering rang out. The wooden hands restraining Ryun exploded the next moment.
It was a pity the two figures were already gone from in front of him. Ryun quietly watched (sensed) the two underground quickly fleeing, but made no move to intercept them.
The remaining value of the pawn Uchiha Obito had not been fully squeezed dry yet. Black Zetsu could not let him die now, and Ryun had the same thought.
The eyes he had long dreamed of were now in his hand. The time to end everything was not far off.
"That Zetsu guy, he can run so fast even carrying a blind grown man." Deidara clicked his tongue, he had somewhat underestimated Black Zetsu's capability.
After Black Zetsu and Obito both left the scene, the Akatsuki members instinctively turned their gazes towards Uchiha Itachi not far away.
Ryun did not pay attention to Uchiha Itachi immediately. Instead, he took out a small vial and placed the freshly gouged, still warm eye into it.
After doing this, he shifted his attention back to Uchiha Itachi.
It was somewhat beyond his expectations that this guy had not taken the opportunity to escape while he was dealing with Obito.
"Why did you not run." Ryun walked straight up to Uchiha Itachi and asked directly.
"Run. Heh... Where can I run to. Amegakure. Or Konoha Village." Uchiha Itachi smiled self deprecatingly.
Hearing this, Ryun instinctively nodded, but did not say anything more.
"My brother went to you, right."
