"Fine. They were only a few barely clinging to life anyway." In the end, Obito, wearing the spiral mask, said nothing.
They were merely a few Uchiha survivors who had escaped by luck. To Uchiha Obito, they posed no threat at all.
What? What if all those survivors awakened their Mangekyo?
If the Mangekyo Sharingan were so easy to awaken, there would not have been only a handful of people in Uchiha Clan history who had awakened it.
It required extraordinary talent. Most people would be lucky to reach Three Tomoe in their entire lives; some would find even that difficult.
Even if the Sharingan was an overpowered cheat, it still depended on who wielded it.
Otherwise, the Uchiha Clan would have ruled the world long ago. Senju Clan, Hyuga Clan, Mizunotsuki Clan, Kaguya Clan—each Uchiha could have blasted you into scraps with a Susanoo.
As for that Uchiha Sasaki from before? Obito knew that when Sasaki had left Konoha, he had practically been a dead man already.
Obito was not afraid of a half-dead Sasaki in the slightest. With his Kamui space and his strength, he was formidable even among Kage-level fighters.
What he needed to do now was simple: recruit large numbers of dangerous rogue ninja. He would lure those powerful people into Nagato's Akatsuki and seize the Tailed Beasts.
Though the time was not right yet, given enough time, the Akatsuki would grow into the most terrifying organization in the Naruto World.
Gather the Ten-Tails, cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi... Rin. I will create a world where you can be happy.
Behind the spiral mask, Obito's gaze was firm and sharp.
"Musashi. Your strength has already surpassed ours. We have nothing left to teach you. This is the era of you young people now. I am old.
