The Unification War (4)
Obito glanced at Ōnoki and said calmly, "Ōnoki, you don't even know..."
Boom--!
With a sonic boom, a crimson figure passed through Obito's body. Due to its high speed, the figure crashed directly into the wall behind the conference room, creating a large hole in the solid wall, which was over a meter thick.
Kushina flashed back into the arena.
Her body was surrounded by the Crimson Airflow of the "Crimson Dragon Calamity" Breathing Technique, emanating a terrifying aura.
"You bastard."
After missing her first attack, Kushina did not continue to attack Obito.
"How so?!"
Even Kushina...
"Just who is this guy?"
"Is this Genjutsu? But it doesn't seem like Genjutsu."
If the ninjas' previous attacks on the Masked Man failed to touch him, preventing everyone from making any rash moves, then Kushina's attack, which also failed to harm the Masked Man, left everyone in disbelief.
Kushina's attack was so fast and powerful that no more than ten people could even see her movements clearly, and the number of people who could withstand her punch could probably be counted on one hand.
This attack still had no effect, and now no one dared to make a move.
"This is... a spatial ability?" Kushina looked at Obito with a furrowed brow, seemingly unsure.
Obito looked at Kushina and chuckled, "Quite a keen insight."
With that, Obito looked around and asked, "Does anyone else want to try?"
"Who exactly are you?" Kushina frowned, her voice filled with murderous intent. "Are you also in cahoots with Orochimaru? Were you among those who attacked Shiraha?"
Although Kushina isn't good at acting, having spent so much time with Shiraha, especially after witnessing Shiraha superb acting skills in the past, she can still put on a show for a short time. Now, all she needs to do is express fear and anger.
"You should all remember my name, I am Uchiha Madara," Obito said slowly.
"What?!"
"Uchiha Madara?!"
"Wasn't that a ninja from the same era as the God of Shinobi?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Madara has been dead for decades!"
A single name was enough to make all the ninjas in the room lose their composure, because the name Uchiha Madara was simply too shocking.
This name symbolizes power, terrifying power!
"You think you can use the power of our Uchiha Clan to play tricks? You're too naive!" Chiho's face showed anger, and her dark eyes suddenly turned scarlet, showing patterns like flower petals, with a circular pattern forming between the petals.
With the continuous advancement of Shiraha's Cloning Technology and Cell Technology, he has successfully helped Chiho clone Mangekyō Sharingan to evolve into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
If it weren't for the need to extract cellular energy during cloning, which greatly reduces the Eye Power the Mangekyo, Shiraha would have been able to clone the Mangekyou Mangekyō Sharingan long ago.
As Shiraha's wife, Chiho naturally wouldn't have received such a defective cloned eyeball, so the cloning process consumed a lot of resources.
Just to clone a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan for Chiho, Shiraha needed to use a large number of Three-Tomoe Sharingan to replenish the Mangekyō Sharingan's Eye Power.
This is also why Shin Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan has such weak power. Although he cloned many of his Mangekyou Sharingan, its power is extremely weak. If it weren't for his spatial abilities, it could almost be considered the weakest Mangekyou Sharingan.
Chiho's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan narrowed slightly, powerful Eye Power filling her body, and pink Chakra emanating from her skin as if it were tangible.
However, the next second, Chiho, who was exuding a terrifying aura, suddenly trembled and fell straight backward, her face pale.
Seeing Kushina quickly appeared behind Chiho and supported her. "Chiho, what's wrong?"
With that, Kushina glared angrily at Obito: "What did you do to her?!"
"These younger generations are so rude. I just returned the Genjutsu she cast on me to teach her a lesson," Obito replied calmly, as if he had done something insignificant.
However, everyone in the room was once again stunned by him.
Chiho was one of the strongest ninjas in the entire Shinobi World, yet she was defeated by Madara with just a glance.
"Who are you? Are you really Madara?!" Chiho asked weakly, seemingly lacking even the strength to lift her arm, pointing shakily at Obito.
Before Obito answer, Chiho tilted her head and fainted in Kushina's arms.
Chakra was Kushina shocked and furious as she sensed Chiho's rapidly weakening chakra.
The anger was feigned, but the shock was genuine.
Kushina hadn't expected Chiho's acting to be so superb. Compared to her, her own acting, which she thought was passable, was utterly crude.
"How could this be?" Itachi, Fugaku, Sasuke, all members of the Uchiha Clan, were also stunned.
Especially Itachi, who had the strongest Eye Power among the three, could clearly sense that when Chiho used the Mangekyō Sharingan, her Eye Power was far superior to his. Yet, even so, she was defeated by the Masked Man with just a glance. He had a deep understanding of how big the gap was.
After awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, he gained two major Dōjutsu: Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu. Among them, Tsukuyomi has an absolute suppressive ability against ninjas with Mental Power than himself, if not an instant kill.
This clearly shows that the Masked Man's Eye Power is far superior to Chiho's, which is why he could kill her with just a glance.
At this moment, Obito said to Kushina, "I need to correct you on one point. Orochimaru and I only have common interests for the time being. As for ambushing a junior, do you think I would do that?"
"Madara, why would someone like you be willing to cooperate with Orochimaru? What exactly is your purpose?" Ōnoki asked with a serious expression.
Of all those present, Ōnoki was the most willing to believe that the person in front of him was Uchiha Madara.
This terrifying sense of oppression reminded him of the time he followed the Second Tsuchikage to Konoha, and that feeling of weakness and helplessness was rekindled once again.
"With your abilities, I don't think you need to hide things like this, do you?" Ōnoki continued tentatively.
"Ōnoki, put away your little schemes." Obito said calmly, "When I fought Hashirama, although I survived thanks to my Mangekyō Sharingan, I was still seriously injured. Although my injuries have mostly healed over the years, my strength has never returned to its peak."
Moreover, I discovered a secret within the stone tablet left by the Sage of Six Paths that could destroy the entire Shinobi World.
I need to gather the power of all the Tailed Beast to heal my injuries and take this opportunity to reach the level of the Sage of Six Paths.
"A secret powerful enough to destroy the entire Shinobi World?!"
"The Sage of Six Paths?!"
"Isn't the Sage of Six Paths a legend in the Shinobi World? Did such a person really exist?"
Everyone looked puzzled, waiting for 'Ban' to continue.
"You bastard! How did the competition go?!" Upon hearing Madara's explanation, the Fourth Raikage was enraged. He pushed his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to its limit, his entire body filled with deep blue lightning, and he charged towards Madara.
Bang!
The Third Raikage also activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode, accelerating to catch up with and block the Fourth Raikage. The two bodies collided, like two large trucks crashing together, producing a huge thud.
"Dad! What are you doing?!" Fourth Raikage looked at Third Raikage in surprise as he stopped him.
The Third Raikage looked sorrowful and shook his head at the Fourth Raikage. From Madara's answer, he could guess that his adopted son Killer B was probably dead.
However, Madara's strength is too great, so it would be pointless to attack him now.
"You mean the Eight-Tails ' Jinchuriki?" Obito said to the Fourth Raikage, A. "He has become one with me and will do his part for the peace and stability of the Shinobi World. It's an honor for him."
"You bastard! You're despicable!" Fourth Raikage roared in anger upon hearing this, but was stopped by Third Raikage.
"Lord Madara, what exactly is the secret you spoke of that could destroy the entire Shinobi World?!" Ōnoki seized the opportunity to steer the conversation back to the key point.
"The progenitor of ninjas, the Sage of Six Paths, was actually an outsider. He was a descendant of the Otsutsuki Clan from beyond the heavens, who left behind in the Shinobi World."
Before his death, the Sage of Six Paths left everything he had experienced on a stone tablet belonging to the Uchiha Clan. Only by activating the Rinnegan can one see the final contents.
A thousand years ago, Kaguya Otsutsuki and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki came to our planet. They came for...
Obito told everyone about Kaguya, Isshiki, and the Otsutsuki Clan planting the Divine Tree, and how the Sage of Six Paths defeated Kaguya and sealed her on the moon.
This left all the ninjas present completely stunned.
Everything that 'Ban' said was completely beyond the comprehension of the people.
The Chakra they painstakingly cultivated was brought by outsiders; their so-called efforts were nothing compared to their origins.
"Why should we believe what you say?" Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure Mei Terumi at this moment.
Obito smiled coldly, "I don't need you to believe me. Telling you is just to let you die knowing why."
Now is the thousand-year period predicted by the Sage of Six Paths on the stone tablet. Before long, powerful members of the Otsutsuki Clan will arrive on this planet.
And you are still fighting for your own selfish interests, which is far too short-sighted.
"If Hashirama, I would have unified the Shinobi World long ago. What I'm doing now is simply completing what I couldn't finish back then."
Ōnoki couldn't help but ask, "Since you're trying to stop the Otsutsuki Clan, why don't you join forces with us? We can easily unite and fight the Otsutsuki Clan together. Why?"
"You are too weak!" Obito interrupted Ōnoki directly, saying disdainfully, "Even the so-called Five Kage of the Era would be as weak as an infant if they did not have spatial abilities when facing the Otsutsuki Clan. The others are even more insignificant as dust."
"Rather than waste time with you, I'd rather you become nourishment for the Divine Tree, gathering all your Chakra into me, so I can stop the Otsutsuki Clan."
"You want to play the role of the savior of the ninja world!? Isn't that a bit too presumptuous!" Kushina frowned.
Obito continued, "You're wrong. Even if you add up all the ninjas in the entire Shinobi World, there are only two million people."
There are hundreds of millions of ordinary people on this planet. If it's just a matter of sacrificing you ninjas to save them, I believe they would be very willing.
"Ninjas are one of the root causes of war. Without ninjas, the world will enjoy lasting peace under my protection!"
"How do you know Orochimaru will be on your side? Once you obtain all the Tailed Beast, can you really tolerate him?!"
Kushina continued.
"You don't need to worry about that, Kushina." At that moment, a deep, hoarse voice rang out in the conference room.
Suddenly, a Space Gate with a diameter of more than three meters appeared next to Obito, Orochimaru walked out of it.
Orochimaru?!
"This is the Rinnegan?!"
Orochimaru's originally bright yellow vertical pupils turned into light purple concentric circles, and his powerful Eye Power made everyone's hearts tremble.
"Orochimaru has already obtained the Chakra left behind by Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. After I share the Divine Tree Chakra with him, he will fight the Otsutsuki Clan Member with me and then leave this planet. So if you want to sow discord, I advise you to give up on that idea, Kushina."
Obito said sarcastically.
' Orochimaru actually obtained Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's Chakra! No wonder he became so powerful in such a short time!?'
At this moment, everyone suddenly understood the reason for Orochimaru's sudden surge in strength, especially the Konoha ninjas who had experienced the Konoha Crush Plan and could more directly appreciate Orochimaru's power.
"Kushina, your current strength is due to the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths within you, and you also possess the power of the Kurama. If you are willing to join forces with us to eliminate all the ninjas of the Great Nations, we are also willing to share our Chakra with you. This is your only chance."
Orochimaru spoke slowly, his voice filled with seductive meaning.
Upon hearing this, most of the ninjas present changed their expressions drastically.
If Kushina agrees to Orochimaru's conditions, then they will all be trapped and the three of them can be wiped out together.
"Orochimaru, do you think I'd believe your nonsense?" Kushina sneered. "Madara needs the Kurama within me. Can you convince him? And what about Shiraha? What about my child, my comrades, my clan?!"
"It seems you're not planning to join us." Orochimaru's expression turned cold.
"From the moment you ambushed Shiraha, our feud has been irreconcilable! I will kill you all here, even if it means mutual destruction, I will not let you leave!"
Kushina roared, and a large amount of Nine-Tails Chakra filled her body.
Immediately afterwards, she entered the Nine-Tails Sage Fox Mode, her entire body seemingly draped in a golden coat, and a terrifying aura swept through the entire conference room.
"Kushina, don't bluff. Now is not the time to fight. If we fight here, the entire Uzushiogakure will be wiped out. You won't make a move."
Orochimaru said with a confident expression.
"Let's meet on the battlefield. I have prepared more than 100,000 opponents for you," Obito said.
"The Fourth Great Ninja War begins now! This will be the War to End Ninja!"
After saying those words, Orochimaru and Obito left the meeting room under everyone's watchful eyes.
Although Kushina looked unwilling, she hesitated for a long time and still did not make a move.
