Xia Yan's words could only be described as cutting a man down and twisting the knife, but however far he went, Obito had no choice but to accept them.
No matter how badly he wanted to attack now, he had to carefully consider the consequences of doing so.
For one thing, they had caused such a commotion that the people of Kirigakure had already come rushing over.
If they still refused to stop now, once Kirigakure's shinobi discovered the Fourth Mizukage's condition, he would no longer be able to keep controlling him.
Losing Kirigakure would not actually hurt him all that much. After all, he could still hide in the Land of Rain.
But Kirigakure was the target of his revenge. He would never be content to simply leave like this. He had yet to truly avenge Rin completely!
And what would leaving accomplish anyway? For some unknown reason, this man actually knew about their plan to collect the Tailed Beasts.
He could sense that Black Zetsu, or perhaps even Madara Uchiha himself, was hiding things from him.
As for what they were hiding, he did not know, nor did it matter right now.
What mattered was that this man knew the plan. With his strength, he could easily get ahead of them and snatch away every Tailed Beast!
How would he summon the Ten-Tails or become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki then?
How would he activate Infinite Tsukuyomi and create a world with Rin in it?
The moment he thought of Rin, Obito made his decision.
He had to endure this. If he did not, he would lose that opportunity altogether.
He longed to see Rin again. He longed for that world with Rin, Kakashi, and everyone else in it.
That was why he could not give up or act on
