"Whatever, they're just some guys clinging to survival anyway." Finally, the spiral-masked Obito didn't say anything more.
Just a few Uchiha clan members who narrowly escaped - they couldn't pose any threat to him, Uchiha Obito.
What? What if those survivors all awakened Mangekyou?
If Mangekyou Sharingan were that easy to awaken, there wouldn't have been only a handful of people in the Uchiha clan's history who awakened it.
This required very high aptitude - ordinary people would at most reach three tomoe in their lifetime, and even three tomoe was difficult to achieve.
Even though Sharingan was a super cheat, it still depended on the person.
Otherwise the Uchiha clan would have long dominated the world. What Senju, Hyuga, Yuki, Kaguya - one Susanoo per person would blast you all to smithereens.
As for that previous Uchiha Sasaki? Obito knew that when finally leaving Konoha, Sasaki was almost a dead man.
For the half-dead Sasaki, Obito wasn't afraid at all. With his Kamui space and his strength, he was outstanding even among Kage-level fighters.
What he needed to do now was very simple - absorb large numbers of dangerous rogue ninjas. Incite those strong ones to join Nagato's Akatsuki organization and capture the Tailed Beasts.
Although now wasn't the time yet, given more time, the Akatsuki organization would grow to become the most terrifying organization in the Naruto world.
Gather the Ten-Tails, Infinite Tsukuyomi - Rin, I will definitely create a world where you're happy.
Under the spiral mask, Obito's eyes were firm and sharp.

"Musashi... your strength has already surpassed ours. Now we have nothing left to teach you. Now is you young people's world - I'm already old. From now on, the family's honor needs you to restore it."
In a dense deep forest, a man with red eyes containing three tomoe-like substances spinning crazily was collapsed on the ground, speaking to a small boy about ten years old who was similarly collapsed.
"Brother Anmie... you're the strongest among our clan members. How can you say such dispiriting words? It's just losing to me once."
The ten-year-old boy spoke in a very childish voice yet in an old-fashioned manner.
"Musashi, don't think I don't know. Actually, you didn't use your full strength just now, right? And those eyes - you've already awakened them, right?" Uchiha Anmie didn't care that the other party was actually just a little kid, instead chatting like friends.
"Aha, I didn't expect Brother Musashi to discover it. I thought I hid it well." The youth made a face at the fallen Anmie, showing the youthful shyness that rarely appeared.
Only when seeing this expression did Anmie remember that the youth's actual age was only ten.
"You're the most talented and excellent clan member I've ever seen. Even more genius than the Uchiha clan's geniuses Uchiha Shisui and Itachi back then. Perhaps even the legendary strongest of our Uchiha clan, Uchiha Madara, couldn't match your excellence." Anmie struggled to get up from the ground. His stamina was now nearly completely exhausted.
Why exhausted? Not because of enemy attack or anything else, just because he'd exchanged moves with Uchiha Musashi earlier.
You should know that after a year of training, Uchiha Anmie, who was already not inferior to ordinary jonin in strength, was now almost at elite jonin level.
This level of ninja could even serve as Kage if placed in a small village. In Konoha, even facing Kakashi, Anmie was confident he could protect himself.
But that was only limited to self-protection - Anmie's strength compared to Kakashi was still far inferior.
But even such a powerful Anmie actually fought evenly with the ten-year-old Uchiha Musashi.
However, this was just sparring, not a life-or-death battle. If it were life-or-death, Anmie was confident he could kill him. But that was under the premise that Musashi didn't activate his Mangekyou Sharingan. Moreover, Anmie didn't know that the Uchiha hope before him, the Uchiha clan's super genius, was just Meruem's puppet.
And Musashi controlled by Meruem could definitely eliminate him without injury.
But this was enough to demonstrate the terrifying nature of Uchiha Musashi's body. If allowed to grow, it would definitely be a disaster for Konoha.
"Brother Anmie, Brother Musashi. I knew you'd be here." A crisp voice like an oriole rang out behind them. "Sister Akira asked me to call you back for dinner."
A little loli with short fine hair and two patches of blush on her cheeks came bouncing over. This was one of the Uchiha clan's survivors, Uchiha Rei.
Like Uchiha Musashi, she was ten years old this year. But she didn't have Uchiha Musashi's terrifying talent - so far, Rei hadn't awakened her eyes.
Thinking about it was normal. According to Uchiha clan records, awakening before age ten was top-tier genius. Awakening in one's teens was the normal category.
Generally awakening double tomoe in one's twenties-thirties, awakening three tomoe after forty was the most normal awakening time for the Uchiha clan.
The so-called awakening at six, double tomoe at ten, three tomoe at fifteen - such awakening speed was only for super geniuses.
As for someone like Uchiha Musashi awakening at nine with one eye double tomoe and one eye three tomoe upon awakening, then awakening Mangekyou at ten - there was simply no record in Uchiha clan history.
Even Madara didn't have such awakening speed. This was no longer in the category of genius - it could be said to be a deity's favored one.
"Ah, Brother Anmie is really mean, tormenting Brother Musashi like this again. So bad." The little loli put her hands on her hips muttering.
"Hey Rei, I'm also a victim here. You can't be so biased toward Musashi." Now the Uchiha no longer had main or branch families. As long as they were Uchiha clan members, whether awakened or not, they were united as one family.
"I'm not! It's clearly Uncle Anmie's fault!" The little loli's face was somewhat red but she still forcefully put one hand on her hip while pointing at Uchiha Anmie with the other.
"Now I'm an uncle? I'm only in my twenties!"
"Being in your twenties already makes you an uncle. Sister Akira said you're more than two... two or three times my age!"
"That's obvious - you're only nine and I'm twenty-seven. In a few more years, see if I'm still two or three times your age."
The quarreling Uchiha survived in this remaining place for their clan members, but they constantly thought about returning to Konoha, about taking back everything that belonged to them.
"Without the main body, even if the remaining people escaped Konoha, without strength they definitely couldn't escape Obito's pursuit or those greedy pursuers after these eyes."
"In this world of survival of the fittest, weakness is the original sin." Uchiha Musashi clenched his fists and muttered. Hehe, even as the main body's clone, I'll make this world tremble for me.

"Naruto, not enough... your taijutsu still has room for improvement. Is this all you have? What revenge are you talking about then? Just obediently become Konoha's puppet."
The sharp, caustic voice came from a chubby white silkworm's mouth.
The target of his words was Naruto, whose every inch of body was bound with lead weights.
"I can do it, I can do it! Hey!" Naruto struggled to get up from the ground with difficulty, continuously throwing punches.
"That's right. Because you have the Nine-Tails in your body, it's very difficult for you to control chakra. For you, you're not suited for those intricate ninjutsu, only those that require large amounts of chakra but don't need much control. For example, genjutsu and medical ninjutsu are completely unsuitable for you, because they require too much fine chakra control. I must say this is your disadvantage, but on the other hand, although having the Nine-Tails in your body prevents you from finely operating chakra, the Nine-Tails brings you different benefits. That is your body, your stamina, and massive chakra reserves."
"You now already have jonin-level chakra reserves, and this amount is still increasing every moment. Allowing you to use almost any ninjutsu without conservation, and even when competing in ninjutsu with others, you can win through overwhelming chakra quantity. Moreover, your body - no matter how much stamina you overdraw the previous day, the next day you can guarantee standing up full of vigor. If you can train your taijutsu with this body, you'll be able to quickly become a strong person. This is your path to becoming stronger, this is the strengthening method I've formulated for you."
"There are still a few years until the Naruto world's plot officially begins. Work hard, Naruto. As the child of destiny but harboring abnormal hatred toward Konoha, how far can you go? I'm really curious." Watching the continuously punching Naruto, the silkworm showed a strange smile.
"Well then, let me make this world more and more interesting. In a few more years, when the Uchiha remnants forcefully return to this village, what will happen?"
"Hmm? Hey, Naruto, that kid's coming again. I'm outta here." The Golden Silkworm Gu sniffed toward the air, sensing something before telling Naruto and burrowing into the grass.
"Ah! Cocky Sasuke, you're here. Let's train together."
"Hmph, idiot Naruto, I know without you saying... Also, how should I train today?"
"You? Just practice water-walking."
Perhaps it was natural destiny, or perhaps karma from a previous life. In any case, during Naruto's training, after being discovered by Sasuke and showing off a bit, Sasuke, discovering how weak he truly was, also joined Naruto's training army.
