"There's no mistake!" Kakashi and Obito exchanged a glance. The Mangekyō was exactly the same. This person really was Obito.
"Call me whatever you want; it means nothing to me." Obito seemed indifferent to the revelation of his identity.
Names are just labels; whether it's Madara Uchiha, Tobi, or Obito Uchiha, they all mean nothing.
"So you're still alive." Kakashi felt an overwhelming pang of sorrow as he uttered those words. You've been alive all these years, but why...?
Seeing Naruto's confused expression, Might Guy explained, "He was Konoha Ninja from the same year as us, a member of the Uchiha Clan. We thought he died in the war, but..."
"Since you're not dead, why have you been doing this until now...?" You used to aspire to be Hokage, what are you doing now?
[Hozuki Mangetsu: A major ethical drama is about to begin. Are those two still fighting? Don't let their identities be exposed and they end up catching up somewhere else. We're still waiting to see the show.]
[Yahiko: Hozuki Mangetsu, do you have any humanity? Watching a show at a time like this... but I'm actually kind of looking forward to them fighting later.]
[Hozuki Mangetsu: Right? A cool, genius young Shinobi and a cheerful, good-natured underachiever—just imagining the scene is enough to make your heart race.]
[Yugito Nii: Didn't everyone just ask if you were talking about Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki?]
[Kushina: My Naruto isn't a loser!]
[Obito: Ah, Kushina- nee said that?]
Obito now wondering if he ever told Naruto's Kushina. Naruto was a complete underachiever, okay? Could it be that Naruto's performance in the Fourth Shinobi World War made Kushina think Naruto was a genius as a child?
That doesn't make sense. I performed quite well in Fourth Shinobi World War, even though I was on the opposing team. But that can't hide the fact that I was a bottom-of-the-class student when I was a kid.
[Obito merely sneered a few times in response to Kakashi's questioning.]
Whether I'm alive or not is completely irrelevant.
"However, if I had to give a reason, it's because you stood by and watched Lin die!"
Every word Obito pierced Kakashi's heart like a needle, something he would dream about even in his nightmares.
Countless times I've woken up from my dreams because of that image: hands that I can't get clean no matter how much I wash them, and those Sharingan that I can't shut off.
Countless beads of sweat streamed down Kakashi's forehead. At this moment, Kakashi's expression was indescribable; was it guilt, fear of Obito's reprimand, or something else?
"Don't rush, and don't make that face, Kakashi," Obito said, noticing Kakashi's tense expression.
"Aren't you going to scold me?" Kakashi asked, staring at Obito.
"What's the point of cursing such a boring reality? I have absolutely no interest in this world that's about to disappear." Obito looked up at the sky, seemingly reminiscing about something, or perhaps trying to escape from something.
"Kakashi-sensei, I don't want to know what happened between you and him, but now is not the time to be discouraged. The priority now is to stop him," Naruto said to Kakashi.
Might Guy, standing nearby, also strongly agreed with Naruto's words; Naruto's Talk no Jutsu always brought confidence to everyone when they were most discouraged.
"I have nothing to say to you."
"Bound by reality..."
"Fire Style: Sinai, Blast Wave Wild Dance!"
Obito first used Kamui to distort the surrounding space and create a vortex-like storm, then used Fire Style to spit out a spinning fire serpent from his mouth. The vortex-like storm and the spinning fire serpent together formed a huge rotating flame.
However, Naruto in his Complete Tailed Beast Transformation was no pushover either, and he directly blocked the attack with his body.
It wasn't over yet; a figure descended from the sky, causing a tremor on the ground.
As the smoke cleared, a figure clad in armor appeared in everyone's sight.
"You seem to be having a lot of fun, Obito!" Madara said with a hint of displeasure.
He didn't want Obito to stay here with his old classmate, reminiscing about the past.
"To dare to defy the Impure World Reincarnation, that certainly seems like your personality." Obito didn't seem surprised by Madara Uchiha's appearance.
"Stop talking about that, why are you dawdling like this?" According to the plan, Obito should have used Rinne Rebirth to revive himself.
But why is it dragging on like this now?
[Obito: I'm not going to revive you, so don't even dream about it.]
[Madara Uchiha: Is that so? Well, that's hard to say.]
Madara believed that since he had saved Obito, he must have done something to Obito's body; Madara no longer trusted anyone.
Even Hashirama is no exception; Madara now only trusts himself.
"Why, why is Madara here!" Naruto, standing to the side, was in disbelief. Madara's presence here meant that the Five Kage had failed.
"How are the others over there?" Naruto asked, his voice tinged with anger.
So what? What else can you do? Do you think you can defeat me with just a few shadows? That's wishful thinking.
"I'm asking you how they are!" Naruto's Chakra was already exploding everywhere, as if the next strike would destroy the two people in front of him.
"I don't know, I'm afraid he won't be unharmed," Madara said calmly.
However, Naruto perceived this tone as mockery. Naruto then unleashed the Nine-Tails Chakra hand, hurling countless Black Receivers in an attempt to avenge the Five Kage.
Obito tossed the Uchiha Gunbai to Madara Uchiha: "Here you go, this is yours."
Having obtained the Gunbai, the Uchiha's strength reached a new level, and a wall of Chakra appeared in front of them, blocking the attack.
"Roar!" The Ten-Tails within the Uchiha Flame Formation also began to roar, and it seemed that the fusion would be completed soon.
"Obito, are you rushing to start the plan before even getting the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails?" Madara said with some dissatisfaction. He didn't want to become an incomplete Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, as that would impose too many limitations.
Obito ignored him. "Old man, when did I ever say I'd make you the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki? The ultimate goal of the Eye of the Moon Plan has always been to achieve Infinite Tsukuyomi through me."
"You're getting impatient, Obito. Is this why I was resurrected in this state?" Madara turned his head and asked.
Seeing Obito's expression, Madara understood that Obito had ulterior motives and no longer wanted to be his puppet.
"Fine, that's just the kind of person you are, you definitely have your own ideas." At this stage, Madara couldn't afford to make things too tense; he had plenty of ways to deal with him anyway.
