Senju Hashirama: Madara, is that true?!
Senju Tobirama: "The naturally evil Uchiha..."
Uchiha Izuna: Don't call us 'Senju' after raising four scourges!
Senju Tobirama: "..."
Fine!
A long time passed.
Ino Yamanaka: "Uchiha Obito... That's right, Uchiha Obito spoke earlier. He seemed very familiar with Kakashi-sensei. Wasn't he said to be dead at the time? But even then, I found it strange; his statement had double quotes, which only living people's statements have!"
Sigh... Uchiha Madara sighed.
Uchiha Madara: Yes.
Uchiha Madara: Black-Framed Naruto's deduction is correct.
Black Zetsu: "..."
Damn it!!!
Kakashi was stunned.
Kakashi Hatake: "Obito, you... didn't die... Why?!"
Might Guy: "Is it really Obito?"
Uchiha Obito: "Hmph, if you wish to call me by that name, feel free to."
Obito is still alive?
At the same time.
Inside the Shinigami's belly, Minato Namikaze suddenly stood up.
Looking at the mastermind behind these events, Minato was momentarily in disbelief.
Meanwhile, in the Pure Land World, Kushina, with her crimson eyes, suddenly stopped moving.
She abruptly looked up at the large black-framed screen.
Uzumaki Kushina: "Obito?"
Uzumaki Kushina: "So it was you..."
Without surprise, she was muted before she could finish speaking.
Uzumaki Naruto: "That Masked Man is actually an Uchiha?"
Uchiha Sasuke: "Hmph, a dead last Uchiha, a ridiculous act of revenge against the Ninja World?"
Uchiha Sasuke: "You are just like that beast."
Kurenai Yuhi: "I thought he died in the last war... How did I never realize before that he was this kind of person?"
Anko Mitarashi: "No wonder Rin didn't like this troublesome dead last; there's a reason why he's the only dead last Uchiha!"
Senju Tobirama: "The naturally evil Uchiha; their temperament changes drastically after awakening their Sharingan."
Kakashi was trembling all over.
Kakashi Hatake: "Obito, since you didn't die, then why..."
Uchiha Obito: "Hmph, whether I'm alive or not is irrelevant."
Uchiha Obito: "However... that's also true."
Uchiha Obito: "If I had to give a reason, it's because you stood by and did nothing while Rin died."
Uchiha Obito: "Don't rush, there's more. This boring reality, this fake world, I stopped caring about it long ago."
Uchiha Obito: "I'm not interested in this world that will surely disappear soon."
Uchiha Obito: "What's wrong with an illusionary world?"
Black Zetsu: ???
Who asked you?
You idiot, say less!
At least it hasn't been exposed yet; stall for as long as possible!
You get triggered just because someone says Rin doesn't like you?!
Ino Yamanaka: "A fake world?"
Ino Yamanaka: "Your statement is truly baffling."
Ino Yamanaka: "What's wrong with an illusionary world? Could it be that you want to be with Rin in an illusionary world?"
Sakura Haruno: "Disgusting!"
Temari: "Are you planning to create an illusionary world to fulfill your dreams because fantasizing isn't enough?"
Uchiha Obito: "Say whatever you want."
Minato Namikaze: Obito... Is it really you?
Hearing Minato Namikaze's statement.
Obito narrowed his eyes slightly.
Uchiha Obito: "As my teacher, you failed to recognize me that night."
Uchiha Obito: "Fourth Hokage? Nothing more."
???
Everyone was dumbfounded after hearing Uchiha Obito's statement.
Minato Namikaze: You mean, after disappearing for so long, with a completely different physique and voice, and meticulously wrapped up, only revealing one eye.
Minato Namikaze: With such bizarre abilities... and Kakashi, his contemporary, was still using Chidori... Minato Namikaze took a deep breath.
Minato Namikaze: You mean, everything, absolutely everything, is because of me?
Minato Namikaze: Because I couldn't arrive in time to save you, couldn't help you, couldn't recognize you... Minato Namikaze: Is that why you did all this?
Minato Namikaze: Among the three, Kushina loved you the most and took such good care of you!
Minato Namikaze: Obito, I... BEEP—
Kurama (Yin): Minato says, Uchiha Obito, you just wait. If he doesn't tear you to pieces and throw you into a cesspit, he's not Minato Namikaze.
Everyone who knew Minato was shocked.
This was not the little sun they remembered.
Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi, in the Root Organization's base, also trembled.
He felt a chill down his spine.
[Naruto's breath hitched.]
[Then, his fists clenched.]
[Hinata, who was holding his arm, was startled.]
[Anger surged continuously.]
[Even though Naruto tried his best to control himself, it was still useless.]
[Uchiha Obito... How was this behavior any different from Uchiha Itachi?!]
[Even Ino woke up.]
[Looking at Naruto, who was desperately suppressing his anger, she was puzzled and also felt a little heartache.]
[Every time she looked at Naruto, she always felt like he was burdened with many worries, yet unwilling to speak them.]
[Looking at him, she didn't feel like she was looking at someone his own age at all.]
["It's nothing."]
[Naruto forced a smile.]
[He continued to look down.]
[Konoha Year 50.]
[The same year.]
[After the Kannabi Bridge Battle, the Hidden Mist Village sent multiple Anbu Ninja, planning to use the Three-Tails to launch an attack on Konoha.]
[Out of necessity, Rin Nohara ran into Kakashi's self-created Ninjutsu, Chidori.]
['An Uchiha's eyes need to be subjected to extreme stimulation.']
['If my deduction is correct, Uchiha Obito liked Rin Nohara very much... If he witnessed this scene firsthand, awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan is inevitable.']
[Scanning down, there was indeed Uchiha Fugaku's note.]
[Uchiha Fugaku: According to what Minato later said, when he found them, all the Anbu Ninja from the Hidden Mist Village were dead, having died terribly, and Kakashi was lying in a pool of blood. Furthermore, Rin Nohara's body could not be found.]
['That's correct... However, this is too much of a coincidence.']
['Heh, such a coincidence... I don't believe it.']
['Uchiha Obito was probably saved by Uchiha Madara, and Uchiha Madara must have some purpose, intending for Obito to fulfill it for him.']
['And an Uchiha who has awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan will experience a qualitative leap in strength.']
['Looking at it this way... perhaps it makes sense.']
['This matter is simple to prove; find Kakashi Hatake, and then look at his left eye to know.']
Mei Terumī: "So that's how it is..."
Mei Terumī: "The Fourth Mizukage was controlled by Uchiha Obito."
Mei Terumī: "The purpose was to avenge Rin Nohara, wasn't it?"
Mei Terumī here suddenly understood.
Meanwhile, in the Hidden Rain Village.
Konan and Nagato couldn't help but look at each other.
"Yahiko's death... is definitely not that simple."
"This matter not only has the shadow of Danzo Shimura from Konoha, but also the shadow of that Uchiha Obito!"
[Konoha Year 50.]
[The Third Ninja World War ended.]
[Due to a wrong decision, the battle line was extended.]
[Konoha ultimately paid a heavy price to achieve final victory.]
[Seeing this, Naruto sneered.]
[On the surface, the disappearance of the Third Kazekage was the fuse for the Third Ninja World War.]
[In reality...]
