Obito fell silent.
'Speaking of being forced to accept things. Sara is like that, and wasn't I the same before my death?'
Rather than suddenly falling into hell… it was better to walk through hell first.
Seeing Obito start reminiscing about the past again, Sara blinked and changed the subject, "By the way, what do you plan to do now that you're back? If you're not in a hurry to return to Konoha, you can stay here and have some fun for a few days."
"A few days from now, Lord Madara will be coming here as a guest. Besides going to Sunagakure to sell chakra converters, he's also specifically coming to help settle my problem."
"Do you want to join in the fun?"
Obito was stunned and asked a little puzzled, "What happened to you?"
Sara immediately became angry, "You ran off into time-space, and after coming back, you've forgotten everything?"
Obito showed an embarrassed expression. Although the Fourth War hadn't lasted many days, countless big and small things had happened. If he wrote everything he had gone through in those three days as a novel, it would probably have more words than Jiraiya's Icha Icha Paradise.
He really had forgotten some of the minor things from before.
"Sorry, Sara. Give me a hint."
Sara snorted and finally spoke slowly, "I killed a female jonin from Sunagakure. I heard she had some connection with the Daimyo of the Land of Wind. If things go wrong, it could spark a war between Roran and Sunagakure."
"Sunagakure is still one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. Even if I'm not afraid, I worry that my people will be dragged into it. So I reported it to Akatsuki and asked Lord Madara to settle it for me. I clearly told you about this."
Obito finally understood, 'Yes, Sara really did tell me about that.'
After thinking for a while, he said, "It's just a jonin. Since Madara will be settling it, there's no problem. Actually, even if you killed Rasa himself, as long as Madara is backing you, Sunagakure could only back down."
Sara nodded, getting excited, "It really does feel good to have a powerful patron."
Obito looked at Sara and sensed that her connection with the entire Roran had become deeper and deeper. Sometimes just standing in front of her felt like facing the whole city of Roran.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Is there a possibility… that even without Madara, you alone could completely crush Sunagakure?"
Sara froze. Her face went blank, pointing at herself with disbelief, "Huh? You mean me? Crush Sunagakure?"
Obito nodded seriously, "I'm not joking. Haven't you already been able to use the collective will of all the citizens of Roran to a point where it can interfere with reality in a certain sense?"
Sara thought for a bit and said, "Yeah, that's not really difficult, right? I mean, the entire Roran is within the range of my chakra, and I'm the Queen of Roran, deeply loved by the people."
"With those two combined, this kind of power, it's something I can summon whenever I want. If I want to fight someone, I fight them."
Obito was stunned, then said quietly, "I've seen someone like you before. A person who used a mass spiritual power to interfere with reality. And his power was way stronger than yours, to the point that he could even shatter the entire reality."
Sara's eyes widened, "What? Shattering reality with spiritual power? Are you telling a myth?"
Obito shook his head, but then nodded, "In a sense, yes. It is a myth. After all, the Sage of Six Paths is a mythical figure. So why wouldn't the second Sage of Six Paths be one too?"
He paused, then said slowly, "But… before reaching that level, even that person couldn't use that power. And you used it. Isn't that a bit… against the rules?"
Sara looked confused, "Against the rules?"
Obito replied, "Very against the rules."
After confronting Naruto once again in the mental world, Obito understood something even more clearly: sometimes, the will of the people is the will of heaven.
No matter how strong the Six Paths Naruto was, facing all living beings together, his will could only collapse.
The former him had already become the second Sage of Six Paths, yet he lost to Naruto, who hadn't even reached that level. Precisely because Naruto borrowed the collective willpower of the Allied Shinobi Forces.
Will, a force that cannot be seen or touched, and most of the time can only shake the enemy's heart and weaken their will.
But its strength is very real.
That's why, when Six Paths Obito held the Truth-Seeking Spear and truly turned his firm will into power that interfered with reality, he could fight head-to-head with Six Paths Naruto without falling behind.
But Sara, despite being nowhere near the Six Paths level, had already been able to do part of what Six Paths Obito could do.
So in a sense, she was already standing at the very front of the entire shinobi world. And could even deal a dimensional collapse against those still just using ninjutsu.
Right at that moment, Obito gained a crystal-clear understanding of Sara's actual strength.
Just like how Six Paths Obito wasn't simply strong because he was the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. But because after becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he could forge Truth-Seeking Orbs and use them as a medium to embody his own will.
Sara wasn't simply a "Perfect Dragon Vein Jinchuriki." The Dragon Vein was only her Truth-Seeking Spear, her real strength lay in using that "spear" to connect to the entire city of Roran.
The Purple-Clad Dragon King, it referred to the authority of the dragon king.
Thinking that, Obito looked at Sara.
"Maybe you don't realize it, but your true strength might have already reached Super Kage level, beyond the five Kage, standing at the top of the shinobi world."
Sara showed an unbelieving expression.
"Top of the shinobi world? Obito, don't try to trick me. Sometimes I think I'm pretty strong, but after seeing Lord Madara's power, I realize I'm just a frog at the bottom of a well."
Obito almost laughed, "Even at Super Kage level there are differences. You've only just touched it. Someone like Madara is already just one step away from the Six Paths. Of course you can't compare with that."
"But your current strength is already above the Kage of the major villages. I mean the truly strong Kage, like the Third Tsuchikage, Third Hokage, Third Raikage, or even semi-legendary figures like Hanzo the Salamander."
Sara laughed, "Am I really that strong? Then… compared to you?"
Obito instantly showed a speechless expression, "Why do you insist on comparing yourself with Madara or with me? Do I look like a ten-year-old kid?"
Sara curiously asked, "Then compared to Madara?"
Obito calmly replied, "Compared to Madara…"
"Well, if, and I do mean if, he could reach his absolute peak and strongest state, maybe he might be able to see my back."
"Sigh, can't help it. I'm just too strong right now. In fact… I haven't even used my full power yet…" [T/N: —_— Chunni]
