"Didn't expect everyone to be here. Quite lively."
Uchiha Obito's sudden appearance drew the attention of everyone present.
Seeing this, Renya knew it would be like this. That guy Obito would never just let Sasuke walk into danger.
Uchiha Obito met everyone's gaze and was the first to introduce himself.
"My name is Uchiha Madara."
When Uchiha Sasuke saw the masked man appear, he knew that today he probably wouldn't be able to kill Shimura Danzō.
Unwilling, he stood at Obito's side, and the members of Team Taka hurried over to join him.
"I have something to tell you. After you understand it, I have something to ask you."
Uchiha Obito spoke calmly, as if he didn't put anyone present in his eyes at all.
Of course, that was only on the surface.
In reality, he had been secretly on guard against Renya, afraid that he might use Mangekyō Sharingan eye techniques on him.
The moment he saw Renya make a move, he would immediately use his intangibility ability.
Everyone present knew the masked man had come with ill intent, but they all patiently listened to him speak.
"My objective concerns the Eye of the Moon Plan."
Before he could finish speaking, the Fourth Raikage turned into a streak of lightning and appeared in front of him, throwing a punch without hesitation.
"Whatever Akatsuki's plan is, it can't be anything good!"
The members of Team Taka immediately retreated, only Obito remained standing where he was.
What shocked everyone was that the Raikage's attack passed through his body and caused no damage at all.
"Raikage, you're too impatient. Let me finish explaining the situation, then make your decision after you hear your own answers."
Uchiha Obito didn't get angry; he continued to explain his purpose for coming, still calmly.
"Calm down a bit, Raikage. There's no loss in listening."
The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki spoke up at the right moment. He wanted to know what Akatsuki's true purpose in collecting the tailed beasts was.
Renya looked at Obito's deliberately profound pose and the corner of his mouth twitched.
He thought, this guy is way too good at posturing, isn't he?
It seems that having such a powerful ability like Kamui makes him feel fearless in everything he does.
After all, there are very few people in the ninja world who can restrain his ability.
When he's attacked, he can just hide in another dimension.
Even if he meets someone stronger than himself, he still can't be killed easily.
But unfortunately, Renya's Sharingan just happens to counter Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan.
As long as the Mangekyō Sharingan is stripped away, intangibility and the like won't exist anymore.
Without the Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Obito is not worth fearing at all.
If he wanted to, he could kill him in a short time!
It's just not necessary.
He only came to watch the show. As long as Obito doesn't provoke him, he won't make a move against him.
Though a little knocking-down-a-peg is fine…
"The mission failed. Don't keep getting in the way here."
Uchiha Obito glanced at Team Taka, then sucked them into the Kamui space.
If a real fight breaks out, he won't have the time to protect them.
"So that's Madara's ability? It's actually space-time ninjutsu!" Everyone was shocked by "Uchiha Madara's" ability.
"Well then, are you all about willing to listen now?"
Uchiha Obito jumped up onto the high platform and looked down at everyone from above.
At this moment, Gaara, who had been silent the whole time, spoke.
"Why did you let Sasuke join Akatsuki?"
He wanted to help Naruto persuade Sasuke to return to the village, but he didn't expect Sasuke to join Akatsuki instead.
He really wanted to know the masked man's purpose in doing this.
"People who can awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan are very rare. Good eyes, of course, need proper inventory management."
Uchiha Obito explained, and his gaze couldn't help but fall on Renya.
"I wanted him to train his ocular power well in real combat against the Five Kage. I'm the one who sent Sasuke here, saying I wanted him to weaken the Five Kage and take them as hostages, but now it seems that really was asking too much."
If not for the sudden appearance of the Uchiha clansman, his original plan would have had a high chance of succeeding.
"Why do you want to take the Five Kage hostage?!" Mei Terumi questioned.
"Of course it's so that the Eye of the Moon Plan I just mentioned can proceed smoothly!" Uchiha Obito said calmly.
"I didn't expect that Uchiha Madara would really still be alive." Ōnoki said. "Someone as strong as you doesn't need to use such roundabout methods."
"With your ability, any plan should be executable directly!"
As someone who had once seen Uchiha Madara with his own eyes, he naturally knew how powerful Madara was.
If Madara really wanted to carry out a plan, he could completely realize it directly with overwhelming power.
There would be no need to beat around the bush and hide his head and show his tail!
This can only mean that this guy is not Uchiha Madara at all!
"In the battle with the First Hokage, I suffered very serious injuries. Right now I have no strength. To put it plainly, I'm just an empty shell."
Facing Ōnoki's questioning, Uchiha Obito spoke calmly.
If Renya hadn't known the truth, he would almost have believed this story.
"So is it a plan to restore your condition?" C of Kumogakure asked curiously.
"Mm, you could say that." Uchiha Obito nodded. "But it's not limited to that."
"What exactly are your intentions? What is the Eye of the Moon Plan?" Mifune asked the question everyone cared about most.
"I want to explain this slowly, so I'll sit down first."
As he spoke, Uchiha Obito directly sat down on the high platform.
"Let everything merge with me, become one, the complete form that unifies everything…"
These words stunned everyone. Such lofty language—what exactly is this guy trying to express?
Renya: "???"
What is this guy babbling about? Isn't it just the plan to revive the Ten-Tails and then hang everyone on the tree?
Why say it in such obscure, hard-to-understand terms?
Back then, Lord Madara didn't explain the "Eye of the Moon" Plan to him like this at all!
In fact, Uchiha Madara was worried that Renya wouldn't understand, so he used the simplest and easiest explanation.
Uchiha Obito noticed Renya's strange expression. Although he felt a bit puzzled, he still continued with the prepared explanation.
"The Uchiha have a stone tablet passed down through generations. It's still underground in Konoha now. On it are secrets written by the Sage of Six Paths. Without ocular power, you can't even decipher it."
"The Sharingan, the Mangekyō Sharingan, and the Rinnegan—when you decipher it in order, the content you can read increases."
"You're talking more and more outlandishly." Ōnoki said with a frown. "The Sage of Six Paths and all that…"
If only the Uchiha clan can read the contents of the tablet, then those without the Sharingan can't verify the truth of this at all.
The key point is that he even dragged in the legendary Sage of Six Paths.
"This is the truth. He existed, and he left the stone tablet behind." Uchiha Obito looked at Renya.
"As a fellow member of the Uchiha clan, I think you should have seen the contents on the tablet, right?"
As soon as he said this, everyone's gaze fell on Renya, who was just watching the show.
