Obito's Inner Thoughts

Madara pursues justice and peace, not evil and destruction. Although his methods are extreme, in the end, using the Infinite Tsukuyomi is simply to allow everyone to live in a good world, and he himself is a creator-like being.

In contrast, the Otsutsuki Clan's purpose appears far more evil: to cultivate fruits, enslave humans, and ultimately consume them as nourishment, representing complete egoism.

The Otsutsuki Clan, with only Kagura who has never appeared, is already that powerful. If an even more powerful Otsutsuki Clan were to appear later, Shiyu would be unable to support them alone. Therefore, it is natural for him to want to find some good helpers.

Shiyu's words were like an atomic bomb, deeply shocking Madara. Shiyu had no reason not to believe Shigure, because Shiyu would not go to such lengths to deceive someone weaker than himself.

"I will be wary of this person lurking in the shadows, but the Eye of the Moon Plan has already reached this point and cannot be stopped. Perhaps this is my obsession? Since the Infinite Tsukuyomi is real, then it is feasible." Madara pondered for a long time, but in the end, he still gave Shiyu a less than satisfactory answer.

Shiyu looked at Madara and thought to herself, "As expected of Madara Uchiha, his obsession runs so deep. Even if I lay the facts in front of him, will he still stick to his original decision?"

Shiyu felt somewhat helpless. Sasuke was a stubborn person, and in the end, only Naruto changed him. As for Madara, it seemed that Shiyu had no way to change him either.

"Looks like only Hashirama can change you, huh? Fine, I won't waste my time." Shiyu's negotiations with Madara were unsuccessful.

However, Madara concluded, "Uchiha Shigure, it seems your goal is actually the same as mine; we're just using different methods. If things truly reach that unavoidable point, the only one who can stop them is you."

Meanwhile, Shiyu was also communicating with Obito.

"Obito Uchiha, have you still not torn off your mask? Or have you not recognized your true identity Obito?" Shiyu asked.

"I told you, Obito Uchiha is a thing of the past. You can call me Tobi," Obito said.

"If you want to kill me, then hurry up and do it. Don't waste any more time. If I'm not mistaken, you must have already separated the three of us, right? Are you trying to take us down one by one?"

As Obito asked questions, he tried to use Kamui, but Obito failed because he didn't have enough chakra.

After all, opening a spatial passage back to the real world requires a huge amount of chakra, and in the original work, it was only possible to do so using Sakura's Hundred Healings Technique.

"Obito, haven't you ever suspected anything? Rin Nohara didn't die. I rescued Rin, and she's still in Konoha. How could you willingly degenerate into becoming Madara Uchiha's pawn?" Shiyu once again unleashed his persuasive skills.

While trying to persuade Madara Uchiha on one hand, Shigure also tried to persuade Obito Uchiha on the other. Shiyu felt that killing the two of them directly would be somewhat mindless and would not seem to yield any results.

"I saw you and Kakashi kill Rin with my own eyes, that's why I awakened this eye!" Obito pointed to his Mangekyo, completely disbelieving what Shiyu Zou was saying.

"I didn't lie to you. Why would I kill Rin? If I killed Rin, why is the Three-Tails inside me?"

"The Kirigakure Village placed the Three-Tails into Rin's body, deliberately letting her go so that she could wreak havoc in Konoha. So Rin originally wanted to die at our hands, but I knew about the Kirigakure's plot and naturally chose to refuse."

"I killed the pursuers from Kirigakure and transferred the Three-Tails from Rin's body to mine. I willingly became the Three-Tails 'Jinchuriki, but you say you saw Rin killed by me and Kakashi? That's a bit ridiculous."

"However, I can roughly guess what exactly happened. Perhaps you were under Madara's Genjutsu? Or perhaps Zetsu and Madara put on a show for you? In any case, they must have done something to deeply traumatize you and ultimately plunge you into darkness."

Shiyu's words made a lot of sense. Obito was already wary of Madara and Zetsu, and now that Shiyu had revealed the possible truth to Obito was naturally deeply troubled, though he said this outwardly.

"Even if what you say is true, so what? The Eye of the Moon Plan has already begun. The Tailed Beast have all been captured by the Mazo. With the Infinite Tsukuyomi activated, everyone will regain what they once lost. In the world of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, you can get everything you want."

"These things may be fake, but they will certainly bring peace of mind to other people in the world."

Shiyu shook her head and said, "Look me in the eyes!"

Shiyu instantly used a Genjutsu, and at that moment, Rin's figure appeared in Obito's world.

"Lin? What are you doing here?"

"Obito is the best! Whatever Obito says goes!" Rin was terrifying, like a monster with no expression. Her words were extremely respectful, but it was clearly not the real Rin.

Obito broke free of the Genjutsu in an instant, panting as he looked at Shiyu, unaware of Shiyu's purpose.

"Yes, I used Genjutsu on you. Is this the Rin Nohara you wanted? Although she came to your side, her personality has been distorted. The false and the real are obvious. Do you want to be in such an environment?" Shiyu questioned.

"And Shiyu cast another Genjutsu. At this moment, Obito was surrounded by a circle of Masked Man, all of whom were former Obito."

The evil deeds of forcing his own master to his death, extracting the Six-Tails, killing Kushina, and so on, have all happened before Obito's eyes.

"What's happening? Is this me?"

"Did I really do these things?" Obito wondered, realizing he had done so many completely impossible things.

"The person who did these things wasn't Obito Uchiha, but Tobi from Akatsuki Organization, the Masked Man, someone with a strong obsession because of Rin's death. Obito, look over here." Shiyu transformed the scene into Konoha Ninja Village.

"Obito, today is the day you succeed as Hokage, don't be late~" Kakashi looked at Obito very respectfully, and finally gave him a thumbs up to show his respect.

As Obito left his home and walked onto the road, everyone around him respectfully called out, "Hokage-sama!"

Obito looked at the Hokage Rock, which featured the Third Hokage and Fourth Kazekage, followed by his own facial sculpture. Interestingly, the Sharingan on top of his goggles, making it look particularly comical.

At the end of the road, Obito saw a figure.

"I've finally become Hokage! I must protect everyone around me! Obito, don't forget your dream!"

"I told you I'd always be watching you," Rin said, pointing at Obito.

"Lin!"
