It wasn't just Konoha Village.
Iwagakure.
Ōnoki's son, Kitsuchi, his granddaughter, Kurotsuchi, and his disciple, Akatsuchi, all harbored immense hostility towards the Madara on the screen.
Hidden Cloud Village.
Killer Bee's mood was temporarily downcast.
He had completely lost his desire to rap.
His bodyguard Darui, secretary Mabui, and others were also in a somber mood.
After all, the screen showed the future.
And in that future, the Fourth Raikage died in battle... Hidden Mist Village.
Chōjūro, beside Mei Terumī, was in low spirits.
Mei Terumī even had to personally comfort him.
But then, Mei Terumī's vigilance towards Madara intensified, perhaps even more so than towards Obito.
Madara, this old man who had lived for so long, his mind must have become incredibly twisted.
Based on the content displayed on the screen:
'Every single one of them is like this.'
'It doesn't matter, it's not too late to start now.'
This tone—
Then, it's possible that Obito's actions were also instigated by Madara!
Was Uchiha Madara the ultimate mastermind?
Mei Terumī frowned, unable to deduce the truth for now.
This question could only be answered by continuing to watch if the screen would expose more later... Hidden Sound Village.
In front of the laboratory.
Uchiha Madara stood there, completely overlapping with the Uchiha Madara on the screen.
Orochimaru's dark eyes looked over, secretly astonished by the other's strength.
"Hmm, the screen's Madara has appeared, perhaps this battle should also end," Madara said lightly.
It sounded quite exaggerated and arrogant.
But the other three present had no doubts whatsoever, feeling as if what Madara said was simply the truth, completely devoid of any falsehood...
[Madara dealt with this Nine-Tailed Naruto with ease.]
[He floated in mid-air, slowly landing, looking at the Nine-Tailed Naruto in the aftershocks of the explosion ahead.]
[He smiled faintly.]
[Nine-Tailed Naruto: "You wish, idiot, I am the Fourth Hokage's son, I won't fall for your trap!"]
[Madara stood casually, his hands naturally hanging at his sides.]
"Is that so?"
"You are the Jinchuriki's main body, which is why I've been holding back against you."
"Since that's the case, I won't show any more mercy."
[Madara raised his hand, forming a hand seal.]
"This is Hashirama's Wood Dragon that once bound my Nine-Tailed."
Madara, possessing hashirama cells, could also use the same Wood Release Ninjutsu as Hashirama.
[A powerful Wood Dragon burst out from the rocks.]
[It spiraled towards Nine-Tailed Naruto.]
[Nine-Tailed Naruto: "I won't show mercy against zombies either, because you're already dead!"]
[Nine-Tailed Naruto released his golden Chakra, enveloping his body in the shape of Kurama.]
[Wood Dragon vs. Golden Kurama.]
[They coiled around each other, biting at each other.]
[As the entanglement continued, Nine-Tailed Naruto's expression changed.]
He felt the Chakra within his body being consumed at an extremely fast rate.
This Wood Dragon could absorb Chakra!
[Realizing this, Nine-Tailed Naruto controlled the golden Kurama to constantly resist.]
[But it was tightly bound by the Wood Dragon.]
It was like countless real-life hardships, continuous, eternally present, constantly eroding one's will, relentlessly striking at the heart of the hot-blooded youth, ceaselessly releasing negative energy.
To break free was utterly impossible...
[The Golden Kurama and Gyūki were completely restricted by the Wood Dragon.]
[Madara, unfazed, turned his head to another battlefield.]
"Why?"
[Kakashi was met with countless shuriken.]
"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall."
[The rock wall blocked the shuriken, but it couldn't block Obito, who could phase through objects.]
[He charged forward, wielding a fuma shuriken.]
[Kakashi looked at Obito's face, which was continuously approaching.]
He had completely lost his will to fight.
'I'm going to be Hokage in the future.'
'Uchiha Obito.'
That was the first time Obito, wearing orange goggles, introduced himself.
That guy was so confident, so passionate, firmly believing that his goggles would also be carved onto the Hokage Rock!
The more beautiful the memories of the past, the more cruel the reality he saw before him.
[Obito's shuriken pierced into Kakashi's calf.]
[Kakashi resisted with difficulty, "Why?"]
"Shut up, you trash who only knows how to talk big."
[These words made Kakashi freeze.]
He clearly knew what the other person was referring to.
At the moment of his death, he gave his eye to him as a Jonin gift.
His only dying wish was to protect Rin...
[Without resistance, Kakashi was pulled into Kamui's dimension by Obito.]
[In the cold space, there were only cold, regular-shaped blocks of various sizes.]
[Kakashi lay on top of a block.]
'I think White Fang was a true hero.'
'That's right, in the Ninja world, those who break the rules are called trash.'
'But,'
'Those who don't cherish their comrades are worse than trash.'
'Perhaps it's because you stood by and did nothing for Rin—'
[Kakashi sat up, blood continuously flowing from his calf.]
[But compared to the physical pain, the emotional anguish was constantly spreading.]
'I am indeed trash.'
'But Obito, you always...'
'To me, you were always a hero.'
"Kamui!"
[Outside, "The same eyes, you really came out."]
[Kakashi knelt, supporting himself on the ground, his face covered in cold sweat.]
[It was unclear whether it was due to excessive exhaustion or emotional distress.]
"Obito, why have you become like this?"
"Is it related to Rin?"
[Obito, with one Mangekyo and one Rinnegan, ran straight over, hitting Kakashi's head with a knee strike.]
[A fuma shuriken was directly embedded in Kakashi's abdomen.]
[A punch.]
[Holding the shuriken, he delivered two more slashes.]
[Obito's voice was hoarse and cold.]
"I told you, trash should shut up."
"Die."
[Kakashi, completely devoid of fighting spirit, hung his head, looking at the ground.]
[Sweat drenched his entire body, and so did the pain.]
"I... couldn't keep my promise to you."
"That's right, I am trash."
"But you are a hero of Konoha, there's no need for you to become like this too."
[Obito's eyelids closed, he dropped the shuriken, and hung his head, letting out a twisted laugh.]
Was he laughing at that statement, or at this world?
"This is reality."
"Whether it's the one who entrusts or the one who is entrusted."
[Obito slowly looked at Kakashi.]
"Any Ninja who survives in this world will become trash."
"You and I are prime examples, Kakashi."
[Hearing these words, Kakashi's expression was bewildered, his will to fight crumbling.]
