Declaration of the Shinobi World War

"Excellent!"

"It's rare to have all Five Kage gathered in one place!"

Obito Uchiha stood on a raised platform, looking down at them all.

The Raikage crushed the White Zetsu in his hand.

"I am Madara Uchiha!"

"Were you discussing whether to attack Akatsuki? Then today, on Akatsuki's behalf, I declare war on you!"

"Akatsuki will launch the Fourth Shinobi World War! Hand over the remaining Tailed Beasts, and there will be no war!"

"Obito, what are you talking about?" Kakashi shouted.

The face beneath Obito Uchiha's mask twitched. He ignored Kakashi.

Who the hell knew how Uchiha Yoru had learned his real identity? But as long as he kept his mask on, he was Madara Uchiha.

Raikage A's muscles bulged as he charged Obito Uchiha—and passed straight through him.

"Give me back Killer B!"

"Don't worry. You'll see his corpse soon enough. A Jinchūriki dies when their Tailed Beast is extracted!"

"You bastard!"

Raikage A flew into a rage.

"Pain asked us to tell you that he still wants to settle this peacefully. Hand over the two remaining Tailed Beasts, and there will be no war!"

"Refuse, and he'll inflict more pain until you understand the value of peace!"

This time, Obito Uchiha said nothing about his Eye of the Moon Plan. Pain was far stronger than he was now, making him difficult to deal with.

"What exactly are you trying to achieve?"

"We'll combine the power of the Nine Tailed Beasts to create a mighty weapon, one Akatsuki will control. If any of the great nations dares start a war, we'll use it to inflict pain and teach them the value of peace!"

"Then all the great nations would have to obey you!"

"As long as you don't start a war, we won't use that weapon!"

"Absurd!" Ōnoki
