" Obito, your choice is not important!"
"To strengthen the Shinobi World, I will gradually revive the strongest Shinobi World of the past thousand years, including Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki."
"As for Rin... Kakashi would probably be happy to bring her back to life."
Hoshino stared at Obito with empty eyes, his voice calm and indifferent, as if stating a simple fact.
Obito's body trembled violently, as if struck by an invisible hammer.
"What gives you the right...?"
"Based on the reality that the Shinobi World is about to be destroyed," Hoshino interrupted Obito, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding Kage.
"As everyone here knows, with the current strength of the Shinobi World, we can't even defeat Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, let alone those powerful Ōtsutsuki."
"Therefore, I will use every means possible, including resurrecting the deceased."
Obito a step back abruptly, his expression completely shattered.
He knelt on the ground, clutching his hair tightly with both hands, letting out a beast-like growl.
"Why... why does it have to be like this... this world... is already rotten to the core..."
His voice gradually became fragmented, as if all his perseverance had crumbled at this moment.
Upon hearing this, Tsunade's fingers involuntarily tightened around her sleeves. " Hoshino, resurrecting the dead is no child's play, especially..."
"Especially Madara Uchiha?"
Hoshino continued, "But his combat strength is also incredibly powerful, and I believe he will make the right choice."
"Of course, if you're worried about unexpected events, you can first resurrect Madara Uchiha Impure World Reincarnation, and then proceed with the resurrection only after confirming that cooperation is possible."
These words caused a brief silence to fall over the room.
The wind and sand swept across the broken walls and ruins of Rōran, making a mournful sound.
Ōnoki hovered in mid-air, his eyes slightly narrowed. "Kid, are you sure you can control that madman? Madara Uchiha isn't someone you can fathom with common sense."
He was well aware of how powerful that guy was.
When Madara Uchiha stood in front of him, he didn't even dare to think of fighting back. He was too strong!
"No need for control." Hoshino's long, gray hair moved without wind. "All we need is mutual benefit. Faced with an invasion from another world, he knows better than anyone what to do."
Raikage A scoffed, "Easy for you to say! That guy's plan is to destroy the Shinobi World, he's no different from those invaders!"
"But now, this plan has been proven to be a scam, hasn't it!"
Even so, there's no guarantee he won't have ulterior motives.
"Therefore, we must first Impure World Reincarnation." Hoshino raised his hand, "May you all bear witness."
Tsunade a deep breath and asked Orochimaru, "Are you confident?"
Orochimaru licked his lips and chuckled, "Of course I have them, but I still haven't found Madara Uchiha's cell tissue!"
"It's alright, Obito knows where it is!"
Hoshino turned to look at Obito and asked, "What's your decision?"
" Hoshino, you're truly despicable!"
Obito's eyes flashed with a fierce light that was almost tangible. A suppressed chuckle rolled through his throat, and the corners of his mouth stretched into a hideous grin.
Isn't this a rhetorical question?
If the Eye of the Moon Plan is real, he will crush all obstacles without hesitation, and may even strangle Lin with his own hands.
Because in the eternal dream woven by Infinite Tsukuyomi, she will be reborn with an even more radiant smile.
But now...
The so-called 'plan' was nothing but a deception set up by Black Zetsu to resurrect his mother; it was all a lie.
Every time I think about this...
His fingernails, Obito, almost dug into his palm; beads of blood seeping from between his fingers dried instantly on the sand.
Now, with the obsession to save the world crumbling, all that remains is a deep-seated hatred for this manipulative world, and... the fear of Lynn's death.
He knew that the claim that " Kakashi was willing to let her be reborn" was nothing more than Hoshino's high-sounding coercion.
Use his deepest regrets as bait to lure him into willingly falling into a new cage.
But could he refuse?
Either watch helplessly as Lin dies again.
Either he puts on the chains and becomes a knife in Hoshino's hand, which would greatly improve Rin's safety; at least Rin won't die before he dies.
"Lin..."
Obito let out a low, almost whimpering sound, and black spatial ripples suddenly appeared around his body.
Before disappearing, he glanced one last time at the horrified crowd, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
No matter how much he struggled, he was always a puppet manipulated by fate, except this time the puppeteer had changed from Black Zetsu to Hoshino.
Tsunade subconsciously took a half step forward, wanting to stop Obito, but was stopped by Hoshino raising his hand.
Hoshino's lips curled into a slight smile. "Don't worry, he'll make the right choice."
Sure enough, about half an hour later, ripples appeared in the space again.
Obito's figure appeared like a ghost, dragging a cracked black coffin at his feet.
"Next!" Obito kicked the coffin at Orochimaru.
The coffin dragged on the sand with a grating sound. The coffin lid opened, revealing Madara Uchiha's signature red cloud-patterned armor.
Tsunade's pupils contracted sharply. "This is..."
"The body of Madara Uchiha." Hoshino stepped forward, his fingertips lightly touching the coffin lid.
" Orochimaru, let's begin!"
Orochimaru nodded and began preparing the preliminary steps for the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu.
Once everything was complete, he swiftly Hand Seals, and a complex spell unfolded on the ground in an instant. Impure World Reincarnation surged from the ground, covering the offerings, and finally gradually coalesced into a human form.
To be on the safe side, the sacrificial offerings used were of the lowest quality, so even if Madara Uchiha had other ways to regain his freedom, he wouldn't be able to exert much of his strength.
" Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu!"
With a low shout, the Impure World Reincarnation quickly took shape.
A tall figure gradually came into focus, with long black hair, red armor, and a disdainful gaze.
Madara Uchiha has been resurrected.
"This is..." Madara looked down at his hands, the cracks unique to Impure World Reincarnation were clearly visible.
" Impure World Reincarnation? Interesting."
His gaze swept over everyone, paused slightly when he saw Obito, and finally settled on Hoshino.
"It seems a lot has happened since I died."
Hoshino calmly met Madara's gaze. " Madara Uchiha, we need your power."
Madara sneered, "With your kind..."
" Madara!" A loud voice suddenly interrupted him.
Everyone turned around and saw that Hashirama Senju had been Impure World Reincarnation Orochimaru at some point and was excitedly waving his arms.
Ban's expression froze instantly. " Hashirama... you..."
"Great! We can fight side by side again!" Hashirama rushed forward and enthusiastically put his arm around Madara's shoulder.
"Let go!" Madara disgustedly shook him off, but a barely perceptible flicker of emotion flashed in his eyes.
Hoshino spoke up at the opportune moment, "Seniors, please take a look at this."
He raised his hand and released the illusion of the Dragon Vein, revealing the scene of the otherworldly invasion to everyone.
