After hearing Obito's words, Madara nearly forgot to breathe.
"Obito, is that any way to talk to your grandpa?!"
Seeing that Lord Madara was about to serve him a bucket of cola (Storm Release: Light Fang),
Obito hurriedly dropped his Uchiha Sasuke expression.
At the same time, he secretly thought to himself.
I can't casually imitate Sasuke anymore. I was just one step away from getting my ass kicked.
Obito coughed twice.
He put on Naruto's determined expression, ready to launch his talk no jutsu.
"Ahem, Grandpa Madara, my attitude was out of line just now. Please hear me out."
Seeing Obito's improved attitude, Madara's expression finally softened a little.
His face, which had been livid a moment ago, was now... still livid!
"Hmph. You'd better give me a reasonable explanation. Don't try to deceive me!"
"Otherwise, there will be no affection left between us!"
Obito's expression turned serious at those words.
He nodded solemnly and said,
"Rest assured, Grandpa Madara. I, Obito, never lie, and I certainly wouldn't deceive you."
He pondered for a moment, then slowly began.
"Grandpa Madara, you know me. I've never had any interest in power."
"To me, if that power can't protect the people I should protect, it's meaningless."
"The reason I went after the Ten-Tails was to protect you, and to protect this world!"
As he spoke,
Obito continued floating forward, until he was almost right up against Madara's face.
That way, Madara could see his incredibly sincere Six-Tomoe Rinnegan.
"Grandpa Madara, I know your heart must be full of anger and confusion right now."
"But what I'm about to show you should be enough to help you understand everything."
At that point,
Obito met Madara's gaze, and a purple light flashed through his eyes.
A purple light likewise flickered through Madara's eyes
