"And I have seen through this boundless darkness. I am no longer like you, struggling in vain in this rotten rule, or sadly becoming a victim!"
His voice suddenly rose, with an almost fanatical sense of self-confidence and mission: "I have found a real path to change, and I want to create a new world!"
A perfect world where there is no war, no barriers, no sorrow, and everyone can get Eternity happiness in beautiful dreams. This is 'Eye of the Moon Plan'!
I am the savior who will lead all sentient beings out of the sea of suffering and towards true light!"
"As for the necessary sacrifices in the process..."
Obito's eyes turned cold, and he clenched the Soul Kunai in his hand, "Including Minato-sensei, Kushina-sensei, and even more people's lives... are just the 'price' that must be paid to lead to the new world. In the face of Eternity's peace and happiness, these temporary pains and sacrifices are all worth it!"
He assumed a fighting stance, and his eyes turned into Three Tomoe and Mangekyo Sharingan respectively. "So, Senior, put away your outdated preaching about 'Ninja obligations' and 'taking responsibility'. The only thing I didn't expect was that Naruto Uzumaki was so powerful that I couldn't defeat him even if I tried my best."
But I have no regrets, I will spend the rest of my life fighting for true peace!"
Hatake Sakumo listened quietly to Obito's fierce words. The expression on his face gradually changed from calm at first to seriousness, and finally turned into a deep sigh.
He was not shaken by Obito's mention of the way he died. Those sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through the complex core of trauma, paranoia and self-deception deep in Obito's soul.
"Change... Savior...Eye of the Moon..."
Sakumo slowly repeated these words and shook his head, "Obito, it's not that I can't understand the 'darkness' you mentioned. My ending is indeed disappointing."
He changed the topic and his tone suddenly became as sharp as the blade in his hand. "However, the pain he experienced was infinitely magnified into the 'original sin' of the entire world, and then the crazy plan of self-destruction and pulling everyone back was beautified into 'salvation' and 'change'...
This is nothing but the behavior of a coward and a lunatic, and has nothing to do with the 'Savior'."
Sakumo took a step forward. "The real strong ones are those like Naruto who, after feeling the cruelty of the world, still choose to protect, change, and bear, even if the road ahead is difficult, even if they are not understood for the time being.
Instead of escaping your own pain and incompetence by creating greater tragedies like you."
The concept of Unification is so shocking that even Hatake Sakumo subconsciously thought it was impossible when he first heard it.
Shinobi World has been in chaos for so many years. Even First Hokage only integrated the Land of Fire family to form Konoha.
How can a thirteen-year-old child dominate the entire Shinobi World?
But, he is taking action.
The other party didn't just talk, but actually took action. This point impressed Sakumo Hatake.
Obito disagrees. "Greed, selfishness, suspicion, hatred rooted deep in human nature...
These 'evil' natures will pop up again and again and teach him a harsh lesson, telling him how naive and childish his thoughts are!"
"Unity? Peace? As long as people are still people, as long as there is still the distinction between 'I' and 'him', as well as desires and selfishness, the fight will never stop.
Today, we can be temporarily united by strong external forces or common crises, but tomorrow we will be divided again due to the distribution of interests and differences in ideas, and even more intense internal fighting will break out.
History has proven this countless times!"
"All Naruto has done is to repair the broken houses of the old world, and even tried to build a seemingly gorgeous new Palace. But the foundation is still decayed human nature.
Sooner or later, this Palace will collapse from the inside, and the future collapse may even be more tragic because of his efforts!
Only by eliminating individual consciousness and disputes from the source through the 'Eye of the Moon Project' can we achieve true, eternal, and undifferentiated peace.
This is the only right path!"
Even if what Naruto said is true, even if Eye of the Moon Plan is just a scam, so what?
Sage of Six Paths's mother is powerful, so she can turn people into White Zetsu.
Naruto Uzumaki is powerful, so he can easily kill Obito.
In the final analysis, it is still strength!
"Strength is justice, strength is truth!"
Obito almost shouted this sentence in the end, using it as the final defense for all his actions.
"My path may be cruel or extreme, but it pursues the ultimate 'peace' guaranteed by absolute power.
Compared with Naruto's naive attempt full of uncertainty that relies on fragile human nature for self-improvement, my method is more direct and more effective."
Hatake Sakumo quietly listened to Obito's declaration. There was no anger on his face, only deeper sadness and determination.
He slowly shook his head. "It may be naive to place all hope on the perfection of human nature.
But like you, because you are afraid of the imperfection of human nature, you choose to completely deny human nature, deprive it of human nature, and even worship pure power and violence...
This is true cowardice and despair, an 'evil' more terrifying than any 'evil'."
"What Naruto believes is not that human nature is inherently good, but that human nature can be good. He is willing to bet on this possibility and make every effort for it. This is true courage and responsibility."
"As for power..."
The light of Soul Short Blade in Sakumo's hand was restrained to the extreme, as if all the killing intent and sharpness were converged to one point.
"Let me use this 'power' derived from protection to understand how 'solid' your 'truth' based on nothingness and deprivation is."
"Fire Release·Great Fireball Technique!"
"Earth Release·Earth-Style Wall!"
Both parties use Ninjutsu at the same time.
Obito's Great Fireball was instantly blocked by Hatake Sakumo's Earth-Style Wall.
Then Hatake Sakumo broke through his own Earth-Style Wall and rushed over with a slash towards Obito.
Ninja Blade passes directly through the body of Obito.
Sakumo has experienced many battles and has a certain understanding of Obito's intelligence. He did not panic and used Left Hand to resist Obito's next attack.
Left Hand interacted with his right hand twice, and then the two separated briefly.
"Although your Taijutsu is on par with Kakashi, it is still worse than mine. You rely too much on your virtualization ability."
Sakumo pointed out the problem Obito pointedly.
The opponent relies too much on virtualization ability, so although Ninjutsu and Taijutsu can reach the level of Elite Jonin, they are still not good enough in front of real masters.
Coincidentally, Sakumo is the master of Kenjutsu and also masters many Ninjutsu.
