Old Obito said calmly, "What about Naruto? And Killer Bee of the Eight Tails?"
Young Obito said, "They'll show up eventually, won't they?"
Old Obito stood up, "In that case, let's move as well."
Young Obito nodded, and suddenly took out two white masks, "I suppose, the current you no longer needs this mask. However, Rin and I have sensitive identities, so let's still cover up for now."
After saying that, Young Obito put on a white mask himself, and handed the other one to Rin.
Rin smiled as she took the mask, put it on, and teased, "This feels really strange."
Young Obito smiled and said, "Rin, now you are no longer Konoha's Rin, but the mastermind behind the ninja world, the Masked Man."
"Didn't expect that in the last life, I wore this mask, and in this life, I'll keep wearing it. But luckily, this time, I have you to wear it with me."
Rin pretended to speak in a gloomy voice, "I am the real Masked Man, and you dare to impersonate me. Who exactly are you?"
Seeing Rin joking with him, Young Obito also used the voice from his past life and said, "I am Uchiha Madara. You are nothing but a little girl."
Rin raised her fist and punched toward Young Obito.
"I am someone who has existed longer than Uchiha Madara. I've lived so long that no one even remembers my name anymore."
"You fake, take this punch!"
Young Obito quickly dodged.
Old Obito watched this scene. For some reason, he suddenly thought of Deidara.
Maybe he was missing Deidara...

[Naruto, Obito's Reincarnated World]
At the border of Kirigakure, in a valley shrouded in mist.
Pakura, carrying the peace treaty of alliance and ceasefire, arrived at this place.
A Kirigakure shinobi was already waiting.
He walked over slowly, showing a Root-style fake smile, "Scorch Release Pakura-sama, I'm honored to see you."
"It's very misty here. I assume you'll need someone to lead the way."
As a skilled Sunagakure ninja, Pakura naturally said, "It's just a valley, impossible to get lost."
That Kirigakure ninja didn't insist, and instead gestured ahead with his palm, "Then… please."
Pakura stepped forward and was just about to pass that Kirigakure shinobi, when she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She remembered the advice of a senior who once wore a mysterious mask and saved her life.
("If Sunagakure sends you alone to sign a peace treaty, remember to stay alert. Don't get stabbed in the back.")
She was startled instantly and looked again at the Kirigakure ninja.
With her level of vigilance, even when off guard, she wouldn't easily let an enemy force ninja walk behind her.
But just now, she had felt nothing wrong with it. She had confidently wanted to walk past the Kirigakure ninja, which would have exposed her vital points.
'Something's not right. This Kirigakure ninja is a genjutsu expert!'
Pakura immediately retreated, forming a few fireballs in her hands, and cautiously watched the ninja ahead.
"I've come to represent Sunagakure to sign a ceasefire agreement, yet you cast a genjutsu on me, what's the meaning of this?"
That Kirigakure shinobi still kept a smile on his face, "Didn't expect even that was detected by you, Pakura-sama. No wonder you've inflicted such heavy losses on us."
"However, we've got people ambushed all around here. I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."
Pakura was shocked, and suddenly sensed a strong sense of danger.
From the top of the valley, countless kunai and shuriken rained down.
She instinctively dodged to the side, barely avoiding them. The spot where she stood was now filled with thrown ninja tools.
Pakura said coldly, "So you really plan to kill me, breaking your promise to Sunagakure. I'll report this to the Kazekage exactly as it happened."
However, her words only brought ridicule from the Kirigakure ninja, "No, Pakura-sama. Wanting to kill you is real, but we never broke any promise to Sunagakure."
He paused and continued with a smile, "After all, the Mizukage's most crucial condition for the ceasefire, was your life."
Pakura trembled all over. At this moment, her heart almost collapsed.
She knew this might be a trick to sow discord by the enemy, but what if someone had foreseen this already?
'Could it be true, just as that senior said, that I have become a sacrificial pawn, betrayed by the very village I love?'
But in truth... if the Kazekage had simply told her this honestly, she might have gone along with it.
Sacrificing one to save many, there's nothing wrong with that.
She just couldn't accept that the village had made the decision in such a backstabbing way.
Pakura felt utterly despondent, and even thought it wouldn't be so bad to just die here.
That Kirigakure ninja said it deliberately, of course, to shake Pakura's will.
As a trickster-type genjutsu expert, he wasn't strong in direct combat, but very good at manipulating hearts.
Seeing the situation, he said, "Continue attacking. The enemy has no fighting spirit left. Although she is Scorch Release Pakura, there's nothing to fear now."
The surrounding ambushers all rushed toward Pakura.
The thrown weapons had missed the first time. It would be hard to hit again.
Suddenly, enemies charged at her from all directions.
It was then that Pakura finally came to her senses.
She was indeed disappointed in the village, but before hating her village, she hated these Kirigakure ninjas more.
They invaded her homeland, killed her comrades, and now used despicable tactics to kill her again.
This could not be forgiven.
Thinking of this, Pakura sneered, "Looks like none of you fought me before. That makes sense, those Kirigakure shinobi who fought me, probably aren't alive anymore."
Next moment, the Scorch Release fireball in Pakura's hand split into four and shot toward four incoming Kirigakure Anbu.
Because Pakura struck so quickly, the four had no time to react.
They were all hit, and turned into dried corpses drained of water, collapsing to the ground.
The fireballs in Pakura's hand did not stop. Using the earlier ambush as a clue, she had already locked onto the enemy's positions.
The hunt was only just beginning from this moment...
Some time later, the valley at the border of Kirigakure fell silent.
Through the mist, countless dried corpses could faintly be seen.
Pakura gasped for breath. She was the only living person still standing.
Due to the prolonged intense use of Scorch Release, she was nearly exhausted, close to collapse.
However, her mind was full of thoughts about the betrayal by Sunagakure and Kirigakure.
At this moment, her gaze was filled with confusion.
After this incident, it seemed she could no longer go back.
Whether it was her or the village, neither could pretend this hadn't happened.
Then, being abandoned by the village, losing her home, where should she go now?
Suddenly, she thought of the senior's invitation, "The Land of Rain, Amegakure?"
"Could that become my home?"
"No matter what, I should go take a look."
Thinking this, Pakura dragged her weary body and headed toward Amegakure...
