Otsutsuki Toneri was not unjust.

He spent his entire life on the moon, only coming to the Ninja World with the Grand Elder when he was a child, where he met Hinata Hyuga and took her as his wife.

Apart from that, he had no further contact with the Ninja World.

This resulted in him having no combat experience, and he relied entirely on overwhelming force in battles.

To be honest, Otsutsuki Toneri was quite Bad Luck. After discovering the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, he rushed to the Ninja World and fought with the healthy Nagato, naturally getting thoroughly beaten.

Even after sacrificing the Giant Stone Statue Puppet, Toneri was still nearly killed by Nagato, but he learned that the Giant Tenseigan also had the special function of protection.

Otsutsuki Toneri was Bad Luck. He had just escaped Nagato's pursuit when he was intercepted by Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, who wanted to Torune the Tenseigan, which didn't even exist.

In the second great battle of his life, Otsutsuki Toneri encountered a monster who had lived for thousands of years. Despite being weaker than him, the monster relied on its rich combat experience and strange techniques to defeat Otsutsuki Toneri without any chance to fight back.

With no other option, Toneri could only try to kill his opponent with the most violent [Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion]. However, he failed to kill Ōtsutsuki Isshiki Fifth Hokage Shazo, by using a Sage of Six Paths Level technique within the Land of Fire.

Having just woken up and failed to advance his Kekkei Mōra, Shazo was in a bad mood.

Seeing the devastation of a vast expanse of land and the annihilation of several villages, his anger was completely uncontrollable, resulting in Otsutsuki Toneri being killed in a confused and bewildered manner.

"All-Killing Ash Bones?!"

Upon returning to the battlefield, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki immediately saw how Otsutsuki Toneri had died, recognized the technique used by Shazo, and was so shocked that he blurted out the name of [All-Killing Ash Bones].

Shazo turned to look at Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, and sneered, "Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, I'll deal with you later."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at the sky. By this time, the meteorite had grown from a point of light to the size of an orange, and the light it emitted while burning was comparable to that of the sun.

The entire Ninja World has witnessed this Fire Meteor; its destructive power is chilling.

Especially in the Land of Fire, which was directly below the Fire Meteor, ordinary people who witnessed this scene were terrified and cried out in despair like madmen.

The Five Great Nations Ninja from Konoha were all deathly pale.

They could all sense the intense Chakra fluctuations and knew it was a technique used by a powerful individual, which only amplified their fear.

Because this means that such Fire Meteor could potentially fall on their heads.

The Fourth Raikage observed for a while and then said, "The meteorite will land in the northern part of the Land of Fire. Third Tsuchikage, can you estimate the extent of the damage it will cause?"

The Third Tsuchikage stared at the Fire Meteor and slowly replied, "A meteor that travels this fast must be more powerful than we can imagine."

"I estimate that at least half of the northern part of the Land of Fire will be destroyed, and the Land of Iron, the Land of Rice Paddies Fields, and the Land of Waterfalls be affected."

His voice suddenly softened, only audible to the Four Kage: "Unfortunately, the distance is too great to destroy Konoha."

The Fifth Mizukage also whispered, "It's Luck we couldn't destroy Konoha, because our help is here too."

The Third Tsuchikage nodded. "Yes, it's a stroke of Luck for the Ninja World, but how long can Ninja World Luck last if the person who uses this technique doesn't die?"

The Fifth Kazekage said, "Don't worry, the Fifth Hokage should be there by now. He'll definitely be able to handle this Fire Meteor."

"And the person who summoned the Fire Meteor."

The Fourth Raikage scoffed, "Fifth Kazekage, you have a lot of faith in the Fifth Hokage, don't you?"

The Fifth Kazekage countered, "Fourth Raikage, besides placing your hopes on the Fifth Hokage, do you have any other way to resolve this crisis?"

The Fourth Raikage was speechless for a long time before finally saying with a wry smile, "You're right. I have no other choice but to pin my hopes on the Fifth Hokage."

In fact, the Chakra Cannon that the Kumogakure painstakingly developed to deal with the Fifth Hokage was powerful enough to destroy a meteorite.

Yes, it's that Chakra Cannon that's said to be "capable of destroying the moon." While destroying the moon is an exaggeration, the Fourth Raikage was absolutely confident he could shatter this Fire Meteor.

The problem is that the Chakra Cannon is too heavy and difficult to move. It can only be used to deal with the Fire Meteor directly facing the Kumogakure and has almost no practical value.

Because it was useless and could easily provoke the Fifth Hokage's displeasure, the Fourth Raikage didn't dare to mention the Chakra Cannon at all.

Nagato of the Land of Iron also saw this Fire Meteor.

His face was ashen, and he stared intently at the meteorite that shone as brightly as the sun, without uttering a word.

Meanwhile, Madara Uchiha, who was lingering several thousand meters away from Nagato, waiting for Black Zetsu Nagato to make his move, said, "It's so much more powerful than [Tengai Shinsei]. It seems the guy who attacked Nagato isn't much weaker than him."

"What formidable enemy did he encounter in the south that forced him to resort to such a technique?"

"Southern Land of Fire — Konoha! The Fifth Hokage Shazo!!"

--

"No, Black Zetsu must act immediately. I need to revive and regain my strength as soon as possible; I can't let the situation continue to deteriorate."

Using the [Kamui] dimension as a reference, Obito Uchiha lurked beside Nagato for a long time, waiting for an opportunity to seize the Rinnegan.

He also saw the Fire Meteor thousands of miles away, but this simple-minded fool didn't care. He only wanted to take the Rinnegan and then use [Infinite Tsukuyomi] to create his own perfect Dream Dimension.

Black Zetsu was lurking beside Nagato, received a urging from Madara Uchiha and muttered, "Madara Uchiha is anxious. It's understandable. The Moon Ōtsutsuki Clan, which hasn't appeared for decades, has suddenly reappeared and is even able to fight against Nagato, who controls the Ten-Tails. It's indeed worrying."

"Anyway, the Rinnegan is fully mature, it's time to reap the rewards."

Black Zetsu emerged from the shadows underground, silently reaching out his dark hand towards Nagato.

While intently watching Nagato, Obito Uchiha spotted Black Zetsu and quietly prepared to open the Kamui Gate.

Upon receiving Black Zetsu's feedback, Madara Uchiha, while concealing his presence, approached Nagato's location at top speed.

The three members of the intricate conspiracy have all begun their actions, and the second round of internal strife within the Akatsuki has started.

Nagato gazed at the Fire Meteor, silently calculating how he should respond to such an attack. If he couldn't withstand it, that guy named Otsutsuki Toneri could destroy a country at any moment. How could he possibly create peace then?

Completely focused, Nagato didn't notice that a black hand had already touched his calf, instantly numbing the nerves in his leg so he was completely unaware.

Next came the thighs, waist, chest, shoulders, and hands, until Black Zetsu controlled the mouth. Only then did Nagato realize he was being attacked, but it was too late.

He watched in horror as his upper hand rose and began to Hand Seals uncontrollably. He recognized the seal; that technique could kill him.

But with his entire body under control, Nagato could only see with his eyes. He didn't even know who attacked him and could only watch helplessly as he walked towards death.

As the Hand Seals were completed, the power of the Rinnegan and its Chakra were unleashed, creating the greatest the Miracle technique in the Ninja World.

[Outer Path - Rinne Rebirth]

Madara Uchiha nearly tripped while running, but he was not surprised but delighted because he felt a change in his body. His five senses suddenly became incredibly clear, and the touch of the breeze on his body was wonderful.

But the next moment he lost his sight, because the Rinnegan simulated by [Impure World Reincarnation] shattered into pieces in his eye sockets, leaving only two black eye sockets.

Madara Uchiha was completely unconcerned; he even laughed triumphantly, "I'm resurrected! I've finally been resurrected!"

"From death to resurrection, it is my question to fate: can my dream truly come true!"

"The answer is now clear: I have been successfully resurrected! Fate has chosen me, Madara Uchiha! Who can stop the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan?"

"Eternity peace and a perfect world will surely descend upon the Ninja World!"

Because Nagato had reached the edge of the Sage of Six Paths Level after fully activating the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Black Zetsu was also deeply exhausted after controlling Nagato to use a technique that would surely lead to his death.

Nagato, on the verge of death, murmured, "Who is it? Who are you? Who is the one who resurrected me?"

Black Zetsu, this ancient scum, remained silent, quietly waiting for Nagato to die, clearly intending to leave him as a confused ghost.

Over the past thousand years, he has caused the deaths of countless Senju and Uchiha. If he hadn't kept his mouth shut, he would have been exposed centuries ago.

Just then, the Spiral Space-Time Gate appeared out of Nagato.

Using Nagato's body as cover, Obito Uchiha avoided Black Zetsu's gaze. Under Nagato's surprised, suspicious, relieved, and complex gaze, he reached into Nagato's eye socket and gouged out those mature Rinnegan.

Then, without hesitation, Obito gouged out his own eye with his left hand and stuffed the bloody Rinnegan into his eye socket without even washing it.

After the excruciating pain subsided slightly, Obito Uchiha regained his sight and saw Black Zetsu emerging from Nagato's shoulder.

He grinned maliciously and shouted, "I did it!!"

The Rinnegan in Nagato's eye socket, suddenly released a massive amount of ocular power, blowing away everything in Nagato, Black Zetsu, and the Newborn Valley, leaving only Obito Uchiha undergoing the transformation of the Rinnegan under the gaze of the Ten-Tails.

Obito's body is over 70% composed of White Zetsu, making modification extremely easy for the Rinnegan.

In just two breaths, Obito Uchiha became the host that the Rinnegan could temporarily reside in.

His body thus exhibited some characteristics of the Otsutsuki: his skin turned deathly white, strange scales grew on his body, multiple bone spurs appeared around his neck, and two horns, one large and one small, grew on his forehead.

As Obito's body transformed into the Otsutsuki, his clothes were burned to ashes by the terrifying Chakra emanating from them. Instead, Chakra condensed into a garment to cover his body, but it could not be separated from his body. Instead, it fused together with his body, forming a bizarre, fleshy form.

Black Zetsu glanced at him and then dismissed him. A guy who was 70% corrupted by White Zetsu could only become a host for the Rinnegan.

Obito was able to barely absorb the Ten-Tails and become its Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, but his time as Jinchuriki was destined to be short-lived.

Because while White Zetsu's physical attributes appear strong, they actually lack endurance and stamina. It wouldn't be long before their bodies were torn apart by the Ten-Tails, leading to a miserable death.

Obito Uchiha had absolutely no chance of advancing further.

In the past, Kaguya Otsutsuki had tried to use White Zetsu countless times, and after repeated verification, Black Zetsu had no doubt about it.

Not only that, after being modified, the seal within Obito's body became even stronger. When Madara Uchiha, the original owner of the Rinnegan, appeared before him, he would become Nezumi under the Cat Claws, unable to even struggle.

Obito Uchiha's transformation continued; six black Tomoe appeared on his chest, and nine more appeared on his back, along with the mark of the Rinnegan.

The Rinnegan extracted the Ten-Tails 'Chakra from Obito's back and condensed it into a black Truth-Seeking Orb at the center of Obito's forehead.

Obito Uchiha thoughtfully raised his hand, and a black Truth -Truth-Seeking Orb Ball flew into his palm, wriggling like a soft candle and transforming into a black tin Black Staff.

The Rinnegan continuously extracted the Ten-Tails 'Chakra Rinnegan, and eight Truth-Seeking Orb were condensed in one go, hovering behind Obito's head.

At this point, Obito Uchiha completely became Six Paths Obito. With the Rinnegan nurtured by Nagato, he skipped the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan stage and became a Sage of Six Paths Level powerhouse.

However, his Chakra was clearly insufficient, giving the impression of an empty shell, as if Skyscraper was being supported by bamboo poles.

Six Paths Obito didn't care about this. He had never been this powerful before, so how could he realize that his strength was actually quite weak?

Obito raised his Black Staff and said to Black Zetsu in the distance, "Black Zetsu, stop guarding that useless corpse. Come here and tell me how to cast [Infinite Tsukuyomi]."

"You don't need to worry about that old bastard Madara Uchiha anymore. Now that I have mastered the Rinnegan, I am the true god. It is my turn to cast [Infinite Tsukuyomi] and create a perfect world with my own hands."

"Heh heh heh, foolish junior, you don't even know how to cast [Infinite Tsukuyomi], how can you create a perfect Tsukuyomi World?"

Madara Uchiha, with his eyes closed, suddenly appeared and exclaimed, "As expected of Nagato, whom I chose, he has nurtured the Rinnegan so well, perfectly achieving the form I desired."

"Obito Uchiha, you shouldn't covet what doesn't belong to you. If you have any sense left, give me back my eyes."

Madara Uchiha extended his right hand and walked towards Six Paths Obito.

Six Paths Obito grinned and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, I know these Rinnegan are yours, but so what? They belong to me now!"

"Madara Uchiha, you've been resurrected, but you can no longer borrow the power of the Rinnegan through [Impure World Reincarnation]. What gives you the right to order me around!"

"Now, I am the strongest, and it's my turn to call the shots!"

"Since you dare to have objections, then go die!"

Obito his Black Staff high and slammed it into the ground, his Rinnegan powers surging.
