"Don't joke around. This world isn't something you can change just by saying so," Obito retorted mercilessly.

"The future is uncertain, but we are working hard right now." Naruto clenched his fist.

"What our predecessors protected... the First Hokage, my grandfather the Third Hokage, my father, and even Rin-senpai—they risked their lives to protect something far more than a fake world!!"

"What they want is a future in the real world, true peace!! Not to wallow in self-deception and Genjutsu!!"

Naruto's voice echoed in the mental space for a long time, causing Obito to hesitate for a moment after hearing it...

Silence.

Lin's image appeared in the mental world.

She sobbed, calling out, "Obito... that's enough..."

"Your intentions back then, everything you've done over the years... that's enough."

"Obito, you should never have stood against the world."

"You were clumsy back then, but you radiated light."

Obito's body trembled slightly. The next moment, he raised his head and met Rin's gaze with a complex expression...

In an instant, he felt a gentle breeze carrying the scent of grass and earth...

The scene before him changed, Obito saw a time from many years ago.

Back then, when he and Kakashi were participating in the Trials, he accidentally got injured. Rin carefully bandaged him up and said seriously, "Obito, I look forward to seeing your dashing figure as Hokage saving the world..."

In a daze, the young Obito turned around and stared at the Obito who had changed drastically in the past!

"Lin doesn't even want to look at you like this."

"The person Rin protected and watched over was Obito Uchiha! Not you, you monster!"

After young Obito finished speaking, the scene in front of Obito changed again, returning him to the spiritual world.

Obito remained silent for a long time.

At that moment, Rin, on the other side, said, "Obito, I still look forward to you becoming Hokage and saving the world."

These words struck Obito's heart like a heavy hammer!

"I..." He looked down at his hands and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

"Did I actually... regret it...? (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)"

Beyond the spiritual world.

Obito's mental defenses have collapsed!

All Allied Shinobi Forces soldiers, give it your all!

With a "whoosh--" sound!

The Tailed Beast Chakra sealed within Obito's body was completely extracted!!

The Six Paths Mode has faded!

Obito reverted to his original form, his body plummeting from the sky...

"Unewa, Matataruka... (Did I... lose...?)"

Mount Myōboku.

After receiving the message from the little Toad, Shinki teleported here using the Flying Thunder God.

He immediately met with the Sage Fukasaku, and was currently being led by Sage Fukasaku to Shrine deep within Mount Myōboku to meet the Great Toad Sage.

Walking along the mountain path, Shinki asked earnestly, "Has the Great Toad Sage truly regained his senses?"

Sage Fukasaku, perched on the Shinki's shoulder, nodded and replied, "Little Shinki, how could I possibly lie to you about something so serious?"

"I was serving the Great Toad Sage when he woke up; you didn't see what happened..."

"In all my years, I've never seen the Great Toad Sage display that kind of expression—a mixture of bewilderment, shock, and indescribable despair! (꒪⌓꒪)"

Shinki: "Is this still related to me?"

Sage Fukasaku nodded. "Of course! Otherwise, why would I have rushed to send the little communication Toad to find you? (ー_ー)"

In the middle of the chat, Shinki's expression suddenly changed.

He had grasped the latest developments on the battlefield!

"It actually worked! ( ˝ᗢ̈˝ )"

"I wonder if it's the effect of Transcription Seal within Senior Lin's body."

"Even without that Genjutsu, with Senior Lin around, the Allied Forces have a very high chance of winning!"

Sage Fukasaku: "What are you muttering to yourself? We're almost there."

Shinki immediately shared this news with the Sage Fukasaku nearby.

Upon hearing this, the Sage Fukasaku also showed a look of surprise. "In that case, doesn't that mean the Allied Forces have already won?"

Shinki nodded. "Once we clean up the remnants on the battlefield, the Fourth Shinobi World War can be over! ( ˝ᗢ̈˝ )"

Sage Fukasaku: "You should have listened to the Great Toad Sage and didn't make a move, right?"

Shinki was unsure. "No... no, just some minor logistical tasks, and incidentally replenishing the Chakra of those Chakra."

"That's good." Sage Fukasaku nodded in satisfaction. "Don't take the Toad's dream lightly. Although the Great Toad Sage a bit senile, his dreams are the most accurate."

"We'll reach the Temple soon, so I won't go in with you."

Inside the Temple.

When Shinki met the Great Toad Sage, he found the Toad Sage propping his head up with his hand, unsure whether he was awake or asleep...

After some hesitation, Shinki bowed and asked, "Sage, did you need something from me?"

Shinki's words jolted the Toad Sage awake from his dream!

At this moment, the Toad Sage's expression was: ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ノ!!

Then, the Great Toad Sage, unlike his usual muddle-headed self, cautiously assessed his surroundings!

Finally, he fixed his gaze on Shinki: "Shinki, you absolutely, positively cannot participate in the Fourth Shinobi World War!!" (ŐдŐ๑)

Shinki: "I know the Fourth Shinobi World War is nearing its end, and the Allied Forces are about to achieve victory..."

The Great Toad Sage's expression remained grave. "Did you contribute?"

Shinki hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to tell the truth and told the Great Toad Sage everything about his research on sealing, reviving Rin, revealing his Shadow Clones, and dividing his Chakra!

The Great Toad Sage:=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪ ‧̣̥̇)

"You're practically single-handedly taking down the entire Akatsuki, and you still say you didn't participate?! Σ(っ°Д °;)っ"

Shinki felt a little guilty. "My true form didn't contribute on the battlefield, so it shouldn't count as... right? (≖╻≖;)"

The Great Toad Sage sighed and said earnestly, "Shinki, I will now tell you everything I dreamed about. The rest is up to you."

"I dreamt of you... standing on a battlefield, surrounded by Ninjas, you reached out and caused a massive explosion across the world... How to describe it... well, the feeling of that explosion was very strange..."

"Leaving aside how many people in this world were affected by the explosion you caused by raising your hand, the important thing is that you attracted people from outside this world."

"I couldn't see those people clearly... Toads have limited abilities... Their only distinguishing feature is that their bodies are enveloped in a layer of White Light."

"They will destroy this world, and even the Toads won't be spared..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Great Toad Sage looked at the Shinki: "You are influencing this world."

"... I understand... I will no longer interfere." Shinki pondered for a moment; this was the first time he had heard the Great Toad Sage speak so specifically.

After listening, he seemed to understand something.

"I don't belong to this world..."
