Moon Eye

Everyone frowned slightly, each using their own methods to plug their ears, before regaining their composure from the Raikage's death roar. After the situation calmed down, they continued to look at the man who called himself Uchiha Madara.

"You can't be Uchiha Madara. Your great-grandfather personally confirmed your death during the battle at the Valley of the End. Even if you survived by chance, how could you have survived such a long time and still be active in the Shinobi World?" Tsunade couldn't help but ask.

"Indeed, if you really were Uchiha Madara, with your abilities, you wouldn't need to go to such lengths to use Akatsuki to achieve your ambitions!" Ōnoki said in disbelief.

"Hashirama... he was indeed powerful, the only strong person I acknowledge. That battle with him... left me severely injured, and now my strength is almost gone. I am nothing but an empty shell!" the Masked Man sighed.

"I see! No wonder you were instantly killed by Lord Roy back then, and even had to rely on the forbidden techniques of the Sharingan to survive like a stray dog. You didn't act like a legendary ninja like Uchiha Madara at all!" Sakura said in Ohm.

"Shut up! I've already said I'm just a shell now!" Obito thought gloomily. He had originally wanted to use Uchiha Madara's power to put pressure on the Five Kage, but now it seemed there was no hope. He just wondered if Madara would go crazy with rage after his resurrection and seeing his reputation plummet.

"... Instant kill... survived?" The crowd looked at Uchiha Madara with strange eyes, as if the legendary aura surrounding him had shattered.

"I thought Uchiha Madara was something special, but it turns out he's nothing special!"

"Yes, didn't that little girl from Konoha say that he only managed to escape by cutting off his tail? It seems that the legendary ninjas are just an exaggeration."

Seeing the strange and disdainful looks from everyone, Obito's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably, and he could barely contain his anger. He could only mutter to himself, "They are looking down on Uchiha Madara, what does it have to do with me, Uchiha Obito?"

The five Kage chuckled inwardly, but they did not underestimate their opponent because of this. In any case, the name of Uchiha Madara alone was enough for them to take seriously.

However, this also shows that the Hokage did not exaggerate the man named Roy at all; his strength was indeed formidable. At least the five of them were unable to deal with Uchiha Madara's Space-Time Ninjutsu.

"Regardless of whether you are Uchiha Madara or not, I ask you, what is your purpose in collecting the Tailed Beasts?" Gaara asked solemnly.

"Naturally, it's to realize my 'Moon Eye' plan!" Obito sigh of relief as the topic finally got back on track.

"Project Moon Eye? What's that?"

"This all started with the Sage of Six Paths."

"The Sage of Six Paths? That's just a mythical legend!" Ōnoki said dismissively.

"The legends are not without basis. The Sage of Six Paths did indeed exist. Otherwise, how do you think Pain Rinnegan? In that ancient era, the Sage of Six Paths saved the world from the clutches of a monster, and that monster was the combination of all the tailed beasts, the strongest Chakra being... the Ten-Tails!"

"What? The Ten-Tails!"

"In order to save the world, the Sage of Six Paths extracted the Chakra of the Ten-Tails and sealed it into his own body, thus becoming the world's first Jinchūriki. The Ten-Tails' true form was sealed in the sky, which is what people call the moon, by the Sage of Six Paths using the power of Chibaku Tensei!"

"You're really going to exaggerate more and more. How could a human possibly do something like that?"

"As the Sage of Six Paths of Six Paths, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he has long surpassed humanity! My Moon Eye Plan is related to this: to collect the nine tailed beasts, revive the Ten-Tails, and make it Ten-Tails Jinchuriki like the Sage of Six Paths. Then, I will project the eye technique in my eye onto the moon, which will be the ultimate genjutsu released to everyone in the world at the same time: Infinite Tsukuyomi!"

Obito opened his arms as if embracing the sky and said, "In the end, everyone will fall into the beautiful illusion I have created, and a perfect world without barriers or strife will be born. This is my 'Moon Eye' plan!"

"What a joke! How could we possibly entrust the world to someone like you!"

"The world in illusion is merely an illusion; only the real world has any meaning!"

"A world without hope and dreams is nothing but escapism!"

"I must say, your vision and spirit are far inferior to Lord Roy's. You want us to sink into illusion and escape this cruel world, but he uses dreams to reflect reality, allowing us to use dreams to change this world with our own hands!"

"Roy ..." Obito pondered the meaning behind Tsunade's words. He was quite wary of this man who had deciphered his Space-Time Ninjutsu at a glance and even mastered the Dream Power, but he refused to admit defeat.

"He's nothing but a skeleton in a tomb. Once I become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, his meager power will be nothing to fear. As for relying on dreams to reflect reality... that's utter nonsense. Even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't do that, let alone him. It can only fool shallow people like you!"

"Just because the Sage of Six Paths couldn't do it, you conclude that such a possibility doesn't exist? It seems your ambition is nothing more than that! At least, I saw hope for peace in that man, while the so-called Moon Eye Plan is nothing but your wishful thinking!"

"Hmph! Say whatever you want, I'm too lazy to argue with you. But it seems you're unwilling to hand over the Eight Tails and Nine-Tails now?"

"We have no habit of begging for mercy from the enemy and living a life of ignominy!"

"Don't think I can't do anything to you just because I've lost my power. I have seven tailed beasts and the corpses of all the past five Kage at my disposal. If we really start a war, you have no chance of winning!"

"The corpses of the Five Kage? What are you trying to do, you bastard? Are you trying to desecrate the souls of our ancestors?" Tsunade seemed to have realized something and angrily rebuked them.

"Did you guess it? That's right, it's the forbidden technique Impure World Reincarnation, created by the Second Hokage himself! Tobirama probably never imagined that the ninjutsu he created would one day fall on his own head!"

"You madman, you bastard!"

The other four Kage also paled at the mention of it. Only the greatest ninja in the village could become a "Kage," meaning that they would likely be facing the five strongest ninjas from each era.

Moreover, those "shadows" are very likely the people they once admired the most. To take action against their respected predecessors would be a difficult hurdle to overcome, even just in their own minds.

"Since you have chosen war, then I will grant you war. I hereby declare the Fourth Ninja World War officially begun!"
