"Oh? Hmph... Whatever!"
"A name is just a label."
"You can call me Obito, or you can call me Tobi, or you can even continue to call me Uchiha Madara... anything is fine."
His voice suddenly carried a complete denial and indifference to his own existence: "I have no identity, nor do I want to exist in this world as anyone else."
"That's all."
"Without further ado!"
Just as Obito finished speaking, a fierce and unparalleled bolt of lightning suddenly erupted!
He couldn't be bothered to listen to the sophistry of this cowardly fellow. The moment Naruto pointed him out, his killing intent had already locked onto his target!
Sasuke's eyes were as cold as knives, and his figure shot out like a ghost!
He held the already unsheathed Kusanagi sword in one hand, and braced the end of the hilt with the other.
He compressed and concentrated the raging lightning chakra into the tip of his sword, creating a sharp sound like thousands of birds chirping in unison!
His speed was so fast that he left a faint afterimage in place, and the lightning-streaked sword tip was already piercing Obito's heart!
This thrust was imbued with Sasuke's spirit and energy, achieving his current peak in both speed and power.
Even a Kage-level expert would find it extremely difficult to avoid!
The tip of the Kusanagi sword passed through the air without any obstruction.
It pierced straight through Obito's chest, but without causing any sensation of flesh being pierced or leaving any bloodstains!
Sasuke, propelled by inertia and carrying a burst of violent lightning, passed directly through Obito's illusory body.
It crashed hard into the thick stone wall behind it!
"Boom!!"
A large hole was blasted open in the stone wall, sending debris flying and sparks flying everywhere.
Sasuke deftly flipped in mid-air, landed steadily, and turned around with his sword in hand.
The Sharingan stared intently at Obito, who remained standing calmly in the same spot, its eyes filled with solemnity.
The opponent's spacetime capabilities are more troublesome than we imagined!
Obito slowly turned around, as if the fatal blow he had just delivered was merely a gentle breeze: "Oh dear... you're really in a hurry."
After saying that, he lightly leaped down from the sorghum stalk like a feather.
Ignoring the tense nerves of all the guards around him and the weapons pointed at him, he walked to the round table where the Five Kage Summit was being held.
He pulled over an empty chair and sat down without any hesitation.
His posture made it seem as if he were the main character of the meeting.
"Aren't you in a meeting?"
Obito crossed his arms in front of the table, his gaze sweeping over the five Kage, whose faces were ashen: "Discussing how to deal with me, how to deal with 'Akatsuki'? Now, I'm here in person. How about... I join in?"
Tsunade suppressed her anger and shock. As the Hokage, she had to remain calm and gather information.
She asked in a deep voice, "Obito Uchiha... or rather, whoever you are, what is your purpose?"
Obito tilted his head slightly, his gaze beneath the mask seemingly carrying an almost devout madness: "Purpose? It's simple."
"I just want to... create a truly wonderful world."
"Is that why?"
Mei Terumi frowned, her tone filled with suspicion: "Starting a war, capturing tailed beasts, killing countless ninjas... all for that vague 'wonderful world' you speak of?"
"Don't believe me?" Obito chuckled, seemingly having anticipated this reaction.
Naruto couldn't help but want to speak up and reveal everything he knew about the future, but Tsunade stopped him with a look.
She needed to verify it herself and extract more precise information about the plan from the other party to confirm Naruto's previous shocking intelligence.
Obito seemed unconcerned by their doubts and began to slowly recount: "Do you know that the nine tailed beasts now scattered throughout the world were actually... one in the distant past?"
Onoki stopped stroking his beard, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Obito affirmed, "The Tailed Beasts were created by the Sage of Six Paths, the founder of Ninjutsu, who, before his death, used his supreme divine power to divide and create the chakra of a world-destroying demon."
"But before that, they... were one!"
"That form, that unique being with the power to destroy the world, is called—the Ten-Tails!"
"Ten-Tails?!"
Aside from Naruto, Sasuke, and Tsunade who vaguely knows some of the secrets.
Everyone else, including the Shadows and their guards, was stunned by this unheard-of secret.
The nine tailed beasts have existed since ancient times, and no one has ever imagined that they originated from the same, even more terrifying being!
"And what I need to do,"
Obito's voice suddenly rose, filled with a fanatical sense of mission: "It is to reunite the nine scattered tailed beasts into one!"
"Let the Ten-Tails return to the world!"
"Then, I will become the Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails, the second Sage of Six Paths, and gain godlike power!"
He opened his arms as if embracing a phantom future: "At that time, I will project the ultimate power of my eyes, which combines the Sharingan and Rinnegan, onto the moon hanging in the sky!"
"Unleash an ultimate illusion technique that encompasses the entire planet—Infinite Tsukuyomi!"
"All of humanity will be dragged into this eternal dream woven by me."
"There, there is no war, no pain, no loss, no hatred... Everyone lives in their most ideal and happiest world."
"This is... true, lasting world peace!"
His voice echoed in the conference room, filled with a wild yet incredibly seductive vision:
"This is my... Eye of the Moon Project!"
At the same moment that Obito passionately expounded on his insane plan.
Inside Naruto's consciousness space.
Madara Uchiha, who had been feigning sleep with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his crimson Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!
For the first time, his face showed an extremely obvious, even shocking, shock!
Eye of the Moon! Infinite Tsukuyomi!
These two words exploded in his mind like a thunderclap!
This is indeed something that will be recorded in future historical documents.
But...why?!
In his memory, he had never conceived of this plan.
Never before had this plan been entrusted in such detail to a junior named "Obito"!
If this masked man is acting according to Madara Uchiha's will, then why does his "original body" have no memory of it?
If he weren't Madara Uchiha...
Then what about his soul, which possesses all of Madara's memories, can use Susanoo, and has the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?
A wandering ghost possessing the memories of Madara Uchiha?
A manufactured illusion?
But how do you explain the power of those eyes, the essence of that soul?!
A series of mind-blowing, soul-shaking questions crashed against Ban's unchanging, icy defenses like a tidal wave.
He stared intently at the masked man outside, who was speaking eloquently, and for the first time, he felt an unprecedented sense of unease about the very reality of his own existence.
There is no answer to any of these questions at this moment.
Outside, after a brief silence, a strong wave of opposition erupted in the conference room.
"wishful thinking!"
Almost simultaneously, the five Shadows, along with their guards, issued a resolute refusal!
Will it drag the whole world into a fantasy?
No normal ruler would accept such "peace" that comes at the cost of depriving everyone of reality and freedom!
Obito seemed unsurprised by this unanimous rejection.
He slowly stood up from the chair, and his aura suddenly became incredibly cold and murderous.
He looked around at everyone present, his gaze finally settling on Naruto.
Then, in an unquestionable tone, as if announcing a settled fact, it was clearly declared:
"Since words cannot make you understand... then I will use force to make you submit."
His voice wasn't loud, but it tolled like a death knell in everyone's hearts:
"I hereby declare—"
"The Fourth Ninja World War has officially begun!"
The declaration, like a final ultimatum, brought with it endless war and smoke, and completely ignited the fuse.
The table for peace negotiations has been completely overturned at this moment!
Chapter 439 Formation of the Allied Forces
Obito's earth-shattering declaration of war.
It was like pouring a ladle of ice water into a boiling oil pan, causing the entire ruined venue, which had been torn apart by the demonic statue of the Outer Path, to fall into an eerie stillness.
The cold wind, carrying snowflakes, poured in through the gaping hole, but it couldn't dispel the overwhelming sense of shock and absurdity in the air.
To declare war on the entire ninja world, and on the highest-ranking representatives of the five great nations gathered here?
This can no longer be described as bravery or arrogance; it's simply... utter madness!
