Chapter 179 - Chapter 164: The Death of Uchiha Obito

Too fast!

Uehara Naraku's speed is too fast!

Even Orochimaru clearly saw how fast Uehara Naraku was just now, seemingly twice as fast as he was in the past. He couldn't even catch the afterimage and saw Senju Tobirama's head beaten to dust!

Orochimaru slowly took a step back, just about to leave when Uehara Naraku suddenly called out to him: "Orochimaru-san, no need to escape, just go underground and resurrect a few White Zetsu for your experiments!"

After a while, these White Zetsu would all be cleaned up by Uehara, who didn't need any White Zetsu for the future Ninja War, as he could fight ten thousand alone!

However, these White Zetsu wouldn't be eradicated, as long as the original White Zetsu could use the Spore Jutsu and split into new White Zetsu.

"..."

Orochimaru nodded, surprised to see Yakushi Kabuto still alive, slightly wondering how this guy survived the explosion.

But Uehara Naraku suddenly said: "Oh right, Orochimaru, I quite like your subordinate Yakushi Kabuto. Why not take him as interest on my debt? After all, I just saved his life!"

"Hehehe..."

Orochimaru chuckled lightly, giving Kabuto a meaningful glance, only to see Kabuto nod almost imperceptibly, indicating his loyalty to Orochimaru.

After this gesture, Kabuto pushed up his glasses and answered: "If it is to serve Lord Naraku, I am always very willing…"

"Hehe…!"

Uehara Naraku chuckled noncommittally, waving his hand to signal them to mind their own business, and Orochimaru gratefully put away Senju Tobirama's Reanimation body.

After all, Uehara Naraku was typically one to respond to gentle treatment rather than force.

Orochimaru believed he had already seen through Uehara Naraku's nature, and he had to learn from that idiot Jiraiya to understand patience, so that when he becomes strong in the future, he could repay Uehara Naraku for all the past hardships!

Uehara Naraku couldn't be bothered with Orochimaru, and landed beside Uchiha Obito, inspecting his injuries, which seemed to have been doubly devastated, and unable to recover without re-transplanting a White Zetsu.

Uehara Naraku stretched out his hand, reaching for Uchiha Obito's Sharingan in the eye socket, only to find his palm falling into empty space!

Obito was still trying to maintain the hollowfication of Kamui.

Uehara Naraku looked at Uchiha Obito's unyielding gaze, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth: "No need to resist, Obito-senpai, with these injuries you can't hold on for long, why not obediently hand over your Sharingan to me..."

"Uehara Naraku!"

Uchiha Obito's mouth bled as he gritted his teeth at Uehara Naraku: "Did Black Zetsu choose you?"

Uehara Naraku touched his chin, contemplating for a moment, then determined that Uchiha Obito had no chance of escaping his grasp.

After all, he possessed Destiny Skills, which could locate Uchiha Obito at any time, even if the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, were resurrected, he couldn't save Uchiha Obito!

"You got it wrong, Obito-senpai."

Uehara Naraku shook his head, softly saying: "It wasn't that Black Zetsu chose me; rather, I chose it!"

"What do you mean?"

Confusion showed in Uchiha Obito's eyes.

Uehara Naraku frowned, looking at Uchiha Obito with some disdain: "Your intelligence is lacking, Obito-senpai!"

"Bastard!"

Uchiha Obito immediately flew into a rage.

Throughout his life, others have insulted his intelligence, and now, at the brink of death, a young brat still dared to scorn his wits!

"I've actually figured out everything long ago."

Uehara Naraku crouched down, asking word by word: "But why should I tell you? If I told you the true plan of Black Zetsu, would you willingly hand over Kamui to me?"

"Do you think I have any other choice?"

"Yes, you do!"

Uehara Naraku nodded, laughing lightly: "You could activate Izanagi to escape, then be chased down and killed by me, making your eye useless."

"Tell me the truth!"

Uchiha Obito pounded the ground with force, a single eye revealing a hint of madness: "Even if I activate Izanagi, I can't escape far… I need to know the so-called truth!"

"The truth is... it's all fake."

Uehara Naraku slowly approached Uchiha Obito, lightly laughing: "Everything Black Zetsu said is a lie, everything Uchiha Madara said is a lie… The Eye of the Moon Plan is not to create a world, but will completely destroy this world, erasing everything on it.

You see those White Zetsu underground? That's what humans used to look like! The Eye of the Moon Plan will turn everyone into White Zetsu, making them forget all about their past, sinking into becoming brainless war machines.

There's no eternal slumber in a world of dreams, only dying gradually in a dream and turning into soulless White Zetsu."

After speaking, Uehara Naraku added, "Oh, and there will be an old woman who looks somewhat interesting."

"..."

Uchiha Obito fell into silence. What kind of nonsense was this? He could barely understand some of it, but the last sentence left him perplexed.

It was undoubtedly true that Black Zetsu and Uchiha Madara had deceived him.

Or rather, Black Zetsu had deceived both him and Uchiha Madara.

In any case, the Eye of the Moon Plan was a vague and illusory dream; it could never bring permanent peace to the Ninja World, only eternal extinction.

So what was the point of everything he had done?

Why did he still remain in this world!

Uehara Naraku looked at Uchiha Obito's expression and didn't seem to care, just letting him ponder, as he had already revealed the truth to Obito.

Afraid that Uchiha Obito might change his mind, Uehara Naraku threatened once more, "By the way, Senior Obito, please don't deceive me. Otherwise, I'll have Orochimaru use Reanimation to bring back Nohara Rin, and then you wouldn't be able to meet her in the Netherworld Pure Land, right? Orochimaru is quite obedient and will surely listen to what I say."

"What?"

Uchiha Obito's face changed drastically; Nohara Rin was his sore spot, and Uehara Naraku's words struck directly at his heart.

After a long pause, Uchiha Obito slowly spoke, "Black Zetsu trusts you a lot, has he told you everything?"

"No."

Uehara Naraku fiddled with his fingers and said softly, "Black Zetsu never trusts anyone. Whether it's you, Uchiha Madara, or me, we are all the same; even if we try to squeeze in, we are just outsiders."

"Then where did you learn the truth from?"

Uchiha Obito raised his head again, a hint of hope in his eyes, "Is your aim to destroy Black Zetsu's plan?"

"If it's the ultimate goal, you could interpret it that way."

Uehara Naraku nodded with a smile and continued, "Senior Obito, don't we no longer need to waste time?"

Uehara Naraku glanced at Uchiha Obito's eyes and softly said, "Your eyes are beautiful, I'll make sure someone uses them well, and they won't tarnish your reputation."

These eyes might as well be handed over to Yakushi Kabuto.

So long as Yakushi Kabuto performs the Hashirama Cells surgery and Sharingan transplantation on himself, he can also use the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan to impersonate Uchiha Obito.

Uchiha Obito slowly asked, "I have one last condition…"

"Don't raise too many conditions."

Uehara Naraku raised a finger and gently shook it, "I don't care about your Sharingan, I don't even need to consider your opinion; if you refuse to hand over your Sharingan to me, I won't mind."

"This condition is very simple…"

Uchiha Obito looked at Uehara Naraku, his voice weakening so much that Uehara Naraku had to lean in to hear him, "And that is... go to hell!"

Uchiha Obito's remaining hand suddenly touched Uehara Naraku's body, intending to send him into the Kamui Space!

Before dying, Uchiha Obito had figured it out.

Uehara Naraku, who was allowing Black Zetsu to act, obviously harbored an even greater conspiracy than Black Zetsu; this kid's acting was overly convincing, deceiving everyone!

Uehara Naraku would bring more calamity than Black Zetsu!

Before his death, he had to eliminate Uehara Naraku, even if it meant facing the threat of Nohara Rin being controlled by Reanimation, he had to use his last strength to solve Uehara Naraku!

Snap!

Uehara Naraku slowly watched the crazed smile on Uchiha Obito's face, letting Uchiha Obito pull him into the Kamui Space.

In the Kamui Space.

Uehara Naraku raised his eyebrows and activated his Space-Time Ninjutsu, "Space-Time Break!"

This was a reward he received after defeating Shimura Danzo, allowing him to return to his position and state four seconds earlier and causing a spatial explosion.

The next moment, his body turned into a pale blue light, flashing out of the Kamui Space and returning to his previous location.

Uchiha Obito couldn't believe his eyes as Uehara Naraku reappeared, and his body was almost torn to shreds by the space explosion!

Uchiha Obito struggled to maintain his composure, his face slowly darkening, "Even Kamui can't restrict your power; you're really capable of hiding your power, kid!"

"I never intended to hide. I just didn't think you'd be so ineffective, unable to even defeat Senju Tobirama..."

Uehara Naraku reached out and grabbed Uchiha Obito's neck, ignoring the rage in Obito's eyes, and with a twist, snapped his neck, flicking the blood off his hand.

After completing all of this, Uehara Naraku looked at Obito's corpse and chuckled, "I almost forgot to tell him, though I promised not to resurrect Nohara Rin, I never promised not to use Reanimation to bring you back. Enjoy some time in the Netherworld, because when I start the Ninja World War, I can't do it without your help, senior!"
