Sasuke Uchiha's Thoughts

This is really...

What you fear most is what will happen!

Tsunade's body stiffened instantly.

Even after becoming the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, Tsunade always felt that she carried the burden of Konoha on her shoulders and should not fear her teacher Shirou Emiya, who had become an enemy...

But...

The deadly blow Shirou Emiya during their battle still cast an indelible shadow on her heart; she even found herself somewhat afraid to face Shirou Emiya ...

Even when facing Shirou Emiya ...

Tsunade was also somewhat afraid that she might not dare to make a move.

However...

Just as Tsunade couldn't understand the Fourth Raikage's fear of Madara Uchiha, the Fourth Raikage also couldn't understand Tsunade's fear of Shirou Emiya.

"Tsunade."

"You're scared."

The Fourth Raikage saw right through Tsunade's thoughts, his deep voice rebuking, "Fear of the enemy is not a problem that should exist in the minds of people like us..."

"..."

Tsunade turned around and gave him a disdainful look.

How dare this guy say such a thing?

Who just said they were terrified when they heard about Madara Uchiha?

"Your gaze is very rude!"

The Fourth Raikage's face instantly contorted with rage.

"Behave yourself."

Tsunade sighed helplessly, turned around and was about to leave the ward. She needed to prepare to gather the Konoha ninja to fight against the Akatsuki's attack.

They said they were preparing...

It's really nothing more than a struggle while drowning.

After all, Shirou Emiya only released his Chakra once during the Chunin Exams, and it was enough to make the ordinary ninjas of Konoha completely unable to resist.

But...

Tsunade had anticipated this.

Now Tsunade can only hope that Orochimaru and Obito Uchiha can cause trouble for the Akatsuki, and ideally force the Akatsuki members to return to their aid.

Border of the Rain Country.

Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha stood atop a hill, watching Shirou Emiya and his group leave the Rain Country.

"Now..."

"Our plan can begin."

Without turning his head, Obito Uchiha began giving orders to Kakashi Hatake, completely disregarding his old friend. "Madara Uchiha should be at the Akatsuki base right now. I'll find a way to lure him out. You infiltrate the Akatsuki as soon as possible and find out where those Tailed Beasts are..."

"Obito..."

Kakashi Hatake wanted to say something more.

"We have no time to waste."

"I don't need to talk to you any further."

Obito Uchiha snorted coldly, his figure instantly twisting and entering the Kamui Dimension, leaving only one sentence echoing in the wind. "This so-called cooperation is nothing more than borrowing my other eye to fight against Akatsuki."

There's one more thing...

Obito Uchiha did not say it aloud.

Because this plan is not so safe.

He might even die at the hands of Madara Uchiha. If he were to die in this operation, saying anything at this point would be meaningless.

Inside the Akatsuki's base.

Madara Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha are still training.

Madara Uchiha once again used Susanoo to knock Sasuke Uchiha to the ground, then sighed somewhat helplessly, "Sending you to Lord Shirou with Konoha wouldn't be an bad choice. Attacking Konoha might be the opportunity for you to awaken your Mangekyo Sharingan..."

After all...

Sasuke Uchiha grew up in Konoha.

If he is truly willing to let go of all his past with Konoha, perhaps he can truly unlock the Kaleidoscope with the emotions that arise from that transformation of his state of mind.

"There's no need."

Sasuke Uchiha shook his head and continued in a deep voice, "I will find a way to break Susanoo."

"Then..."

"We can only exhaust his eye power."

Madara Uchiha revealed the secrets of the Mangekyo Sharingan and also laid bare Itachi Uchiha's weakness. "Without awakening the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, which grants eternal life and prevents blindness, the ordinary Mangekyo Sharingan consumes its ocular power with each use of Dōjutsu, causing the user's vision to gradually decline until they eventually go blind..."

"But..."

"If his pupils lose their power and he goes blind as a result..."

"I also cannot guarantee that you will have the opportunity to transplant his eyes in the future and obtain his ocular power to awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan..."

"I just want to kill him."

Sasuke Uchiha showed no interest in the so-called power of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, simply stating coldly, "Whether or not I awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan is completely irrelevant to me..."

"Ha..."

"That really disappointed us..."

Madara Uchiha chuckled, having placed high hopes on Sasuke Uchiha: "Lord Shirou and I have considered you the successor to the Eye of the Moon Plan..."

"Not interested."

Sasuke Uchiha still couldn't muster any interest.

"Tsk..."

"Are they blinded by hatred?"

Madara Uchiha clicked his tongue in amazement, then gently shook his head. Surprisingly, he didn't seem to mind Sasuke Uchiha's rebelliousness; in fact, he showed great understanding towards Sasuke Uchiha: "Then let's talk about it after you've taken your revenge..."

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha was silent for a moment before suddenly speaking, "Thank you. After I kill that guy, I will carefully consider that so-called Eye of the Moon Plan."

After all...

Madara Uchiha and Shirou Emiya treated him well.

Everything these two men did was for the sake of so-called eternal peace, and if their ideas were truly feasible, Sasuke Uchiha wouldn't mind helping them.

"..."

Madara Uchiha chuckled again, then said no more.

If their plan succeeds...

Then we won't need that Sasuke Uchiha anymore.

Let this child also fall into the beautiful dream of Infinite Tsukuyomi at that time!

Perhaps in that dream, his parents and relatives were still alive, and he was still a boy loved by his family...

Within the Kamui Dimension.

Obito Uchiha was also making his final preparations.

Because he needed to find a way to lure Madara Uchiha out of the Akatsuki base, while also avoiding being controlled by Madara Uchiha and unable to escape.

"Rest assured."

"I'm all ready."

Orochimaru chuckled Obito Uchiha not to worry. He glanced at the coffins behind him, his eyes turning cold. "This Impure World Reincarnation was quite perfect; at least it brought their power closer to what it was in life..."

"Although I can't defeat Shirou Emiya..."

"But dealing with Madara Uchiha shouldn't be a problem."

"It doesn't matter."

"If only we could obtain those eight Tailed Beasts..."

Obito Uchiha snorted coldly and clenched his fist tightly, "I'm only one step away from becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki..."

"Once our plan succeeds..."

"That Shirou Emiya can't possibly cause us any more trouble. It's enough that this Ancient Era relic lives obediently in the story..."

"Let's begin."

After Obito Uchiha speaking, he looked at his subordinate who had been standing on his side. "Kisame, I'll leave the first step to you."
