Within the Allied Forces, many people looked at each other. Even those who deeply wanted to keep dreaming did not move for now.
At a time like this, if they dared to move and the Allied Forces ended up winning the battle, wouldn't they be subject to punishment afterward?
In this regard, it was actually Uchiha Obito's side that seemed the most fair. Regardless of whether the Allied Forces had been enemies with Obito before, Obito fairly granted them a beautiful dream.
Only that Konoha ninja who had lashed out at Naruto for being a demon fox knew that he could no longer turn back. He calmly walked to Obito's side, stood still, and murmured, "In reality, I have nothing left. My parents, relatives, family, even my one and only good brother, died in this war."
He showed a hateful look as he stared at Old Obito, "Don't think that just because I stand on your side, I acknowledge you. I just want to see my mom and dad again."
Old Obito spread his hands indifferently, "I've said it before, no matter what happened before, the new world will have a place for all of you."
At this moment, Young Rin, seeing that Old and Young Obito seemed a bit isolated in terms of numbers, also walked over and stood behind the two.
Counting that Konoha ninja, the lineup on Old and Young Obito's side now had five people.
From nothing to something, it was a big step forward, but compared to the vast sea of people behind Naruto, it was still pitifully small.
Naruto's gaze swept across and said, "This is why I choose to resist. We must fight for the majority of people in the ninja world, don't you think?"
At this point, Young Obito suddenly spoke, "Naruto, are you really planning to compete in numbers? Putting aside the real world, there is no such thing as sacrificing a minority to save the majority, that's merely Konoha's ideology."
"A long time ago, I already said to someone: Konoha does not represent the entire ninja world...", He paused, and a meaningful look appeared in his eyes, "Let's say, if it's simply a matter of comparing which side has more people, Naruto, do you really think you've already won?"
Naruto was taken aback. At this very moment, in this very situation, wasn't it already proof enough?
Young Obito said calmly, "Naruto, many people mistake the thoughts of those around them as the thoughts of the entire world."
"But that's merely the result of limited experiences and narrow vision. It's not your fault, because most people in the ninja world are the same. Even the daimyos, the Kage of each village, and the ninjas."
"But have you ever considered this: If everyone's thoughts were truly the same, then the ideas of the Kage and the daimyos, the different villages, should be aligned. Why, then, are they so different?"
Naruto frowned and asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Young Obito replied, "I just want to prove that I didn't travel around the ninja world for nothing. Since you want to compete in numbers, I'll grant your wish."
After speaking, Young Obito looked toward Old Obito, "You, who activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi, should be able to project your consciousness into the hearts of everyone in the ninja world, right? After all, in my past life, I didn't manage to do this, so I'm not entirely sure."
Old Obito nodded, "I can."
Young Obito slowly said, "Since that's the case, why not increase our side's supporters? There's no need to shoulder everything alone, that's a lesson I learned after being reborn."
Old Obito suddenly understood Young Obito's plan. He didn't object to it, he only said, "This may require your help. Although I can project my consciousness to everyone, pulling in distant people into this space, even I can't do that."
"But you... might be able to. After all, Kamui once crossed the boundary of life and death. If it can cross that, then surely it can bridge the gap of distance too."
Young Obito thought for a while, then said, "After all, this is your home turf. So, you should be the one to realize it. These eyes, I'll temporarily lend them to you."
After speaking, Young Obito closed his eyes.
At the moment Young Obito closed his eyes, Old Obito suddenly felt that within his own Rinnegan, there was now a familiar yet foreign power.
This was Young Obito's Eternal Mangekyo Kamui.
Young Obito hadn't mentioned it, and Old Obito had forgotten, Dual Kamui not only could cross life and death, it could even allow power to be lent to another after death.
Of course, the recipient had to be someone closely linked to the Kamui Sharingan. Kakashi was one such person, and naturally, so was he.
With the power of the Six Paths driving Dual Kamui, many things he previously couldn't do, Old Obito now felt he could accomplish.
He opened his mouth calmly, "As you wish."
After saying this, Old Obito looked again toward Naruto and the Allied Forces behind him.
He shouted loudly, "Although fairness has never truly existed in this world, I don't mind being fair just this once. Since creating a new world is such a monumental event, naturally, it requires participation from everyone in the old world."
"Then, let everyone choose fairly, on which side does the majority stand?"
As his words fell, in the minds of all the people in the ninja world connected to the Infinite Tsukuyomi, a voice suddenly echoed.
["You are currently trapped in the dream I created. As you have seen, this dream, for any individual, is a beautiful one."]
["But it seems someone believes the dream is not reality. They want to bring you all back to the real world. Now, you shall decide for yourselves. Will you continue dreaming this dream, or will you stand with the Allied Forces formed by the Five Great Ninja Villages to stop me?"]
["If you choose to stand with me, please raise your right hand. If you choose to stand with the Allied Forces, raise your left hand. You will be transported to the corresponding side accordingly."]
On the Allied Forces' side, most people had also fallen into the Infinite Tsukuyomi, so they too heard this voice.
The Five Kage were shocked, this was Obito playing the biggest hand of all, dragging in all of humanity across the ninja world. Now, things were completely out of control.
Some ninjas with firm resolve had already instinctively raised their left hands and were immediately transported behind Naruto.
Of course, since they were already inside this consciousness space, they merely shifted positions from one area to another.
Other than those, behind Naruto, soon after Old Obito's words faded, more and more people appeared. A dense crowd, numbering in the billions. As far as the eye could see, it had no end.
In contrast, behind Old and Young Obito, although quite a few people also raised their right hands and appeared, forming a visible group, compared to Naruto's side, it was not even close.
As the number of people continued increasing, the gap between both sides was clearly widening.
Seeing this, Naruto finally relaxed his tense heart. He said to Old and Young Obito, "See? Though there are those who support you, more people, don't want to keep dreaming forever."
This point wasn't just noticed by Naruto. Standing beside Old and Young Obito, both versions of Rin felt it even more deeply.
Young Rin's brows were filled with worry. She said to Old Rin, "Looking at the situation, we're going to fail. Sigh, it's like lifting a stone only to smash our own feet. Maybe... the ones who understood Obito the most, who supported him the most, have always only been us."
However, Old Rin shook her head, "No... maybe we can still win."
