"Yes!"
Hyuga Akira turned to look toward Konoha.
Next.
"Obito, don't disappoint me."
Yahiko and the other two were in Amegakure, discussing the Land of Rain's future development.
The space beside them suddenly warped.
A masked man stepped out.
Nagato looked at the man and said gravely, "You again."
This man had appeared before the three of them several times, hoping to cooperate with them, and had even tried to drive a wedge between them and Hyuga Akira.
They had originally wanted to capture him, but he could actually manipulate space. No matter how hard they tried, they could not land an attack on the man before them.

Yahiko stepped forward and said, "I don't care who you really are, but we will never betray our teacher."
Obito fell silent, looking into Nagato's eyes.

Obito Uchiha said coldly, "I am Madara Uchiha."
