"You... declare war on us? Absurd!"
That was what all three Kage were thinking.
They had already made up their minds.
No matter what, they would fight Konoha and build a new future atop its corpses.
But we're supposed to be the ones in control.
It's hardly your place, Konoha, to declare war on us!
The Raikage knew full well how arrogant and formidable Obito was, which actually made him the calmest of the three Kage.
Rasa, on the other hand, was stunned by Obito's outrageous words.
What an arrogant brat!
Or should I say everyone in the Uchiha Clan is insane?!
Facing an army twice the size of Konoha's, where does he get the nerve?
He couldn't help turning to Minato beside him and asking,
"Hokage, does this brat speak for you?"
Without hesitation, Minato answered in a clear, ringing voice.
"Obito's stance is Konoha's stance."
Ōnoki studied Obito with a complicated look in his eyes.
In his mind, that young, cold face gradually overlapped with someone else's.
He's becoming more and more like him... in both his words and actions, and his bearing...
Kill him! We cannot allow a second Madara Uchiha to emerge in the shinobi world!
Obito leisurely took a kunai from inside his clothes.
With a touch of wistfulness, he said,
"Like Lord Hashirama before me, I've always hated senseless slaughter..."
He stared intently at the three Kage and spoke each word distinctly.
"But if you insist on making yourselves Konoha's enemies, I won't forgive you, even if you're my friends."
(Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, and Yoshikage Kira liked this.)
Seeing Obito holding a kunai as though he intended to attack,
the three Kage and their guards tensed, bracing themselves for a formidable enemy.
This arrogant brat whose true strength we don't even know...
