The cold, towering top floor is like a pool of water rippling with pebbles.
The bottomless black void vortex slowly rotated and contracted in mid-air.
Wearing an orange, single-eyed tiger-skin mask, Obito Uchiha stepped completely out of the void.
He tucked his hands into the wide sleeves of his black overcoat with red cloud patterns.
He exuded a profound, aloof, and supremely indifferent aura, regarding all heroes of the world as worthless weeds.
"What's the panic?"
Obito deliberately lowered his voice, his throat emitting that hoarse, aged, and domineering tone unique to " Madara Uchiha ":
Even temporary setbacks cannot shake the ultimate destiny of the world returning to annihilation.
"It's nothing more than the brute force of the Senju Clan clinging to life."
Deva Path Pain and Konan on the high platform exchanged slight glances, but said nothing.
However.
Beneath that orange tiger-skin mask, unseen by everyone else.
Obito Uchiha twisted scars, was now twitching uncontrollably and violently!
The crimson Sharingan almost popped out of its socket on the spot!
Cold sweat streamed down his face like a waterfall from the inside of his mask!
"I can't keep up this act anymore!!"
Obito let out a near-hysterical roar from the depths of his heart!
On the surface, he is Madara Uchiha, the mastermind behind the scenes who has been strategizing and manipulating the Shinobi World for a thousand years.
But in reality, his grand vision for the " Eye of the Moon Plan was...
After hearing the latest battle report from Kakuzu and Zetsu.
It shattered on the spot into countless pieces of broken tile that couldn't be pieced back together!
Obito gritted his teeth and mentally reviewed the entire world-destroying script that Madara Uchiha had taught him from beginning to end.
The original script was so perfect, so intricately plotted!
According to the original plan:
The first step was to incite hatred between the Konoha High Command and the Uchiha Clan, forcing the Uchiha to launch a coup and have Itachi personally exterminate the clan!
Create Sasuke, filled with pain and hatred, to reap the rewards when he awakens his Mangekyō Sharingan!
And then what happened?!
With Senju Kenya sent Sasuke shoving into a sand dune, followed by a punch that blasted through a hundred-meter cliff!
Uchiha Fugaku not only did not stage a coup, but instead led his entire clan, young and old, to take off their robes and become senior blacksmiths in front of the blast furnace at Iron Fist Heavy Industries!
Sasuke carries hundreds of pounds of Black Iron Wood around Tenten, eats roasted chicken and shouts "It's so delicious!" He's as masculine as a little bull!
Hatred? Darkening?
Screw the corruption! The Uchiha Clan now Tenten on the streets, arm in arm with ordinary people, eating barbecue every day!
Let's look at the second step:
By exploiting the internal strife between Shimura Danzō and Hiruzen Sarutobi, they continuously weakened Konoha's core defense forces.
And then what happened?!
Danzo, that old dog, along with over 3 billion in black gold, was reduced to ashes by Kenya's single punch, and even his ancestral graves were dug up!
The Third Hokage was so badly beaten that he resigned on the spot and went home to play jump rope with his grandson!
The Fifth Hokage Tsunade the stage, with the Senju the Great, a human nuclear weapon, standing behind her!
Not only did Daming Prefecture not dare to cut military spending, it actually doubled the annual allocation!
As for the third step:
Growing up amidst endless discrimination and loneliness for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki sowed the seeds of despair for the eventual removal of the Tailed Beast.
Just thinking about what Obito Naruto like now sends chills down Obito's spine!
That Naruto Uzumaki has now become Senju Kenya's number one underling!
He eats local seafood crackers Tenten, does push-ups while carrying Taiseki on his back, and his muscles are as hard as rocks!
The arrogant and foolish fox, Nine-Tails- Tailed Fox, was trembling inside the seal, overwhelmed by the Conqueror's Haki emanating from the Kenya, and didn't even dare to wag its tail!
And there's also that One-Tail Shukaku!
The original Konoha Crush Plan.
As a result, Shukaku was treated like Kenya. He cried and begged for mercy before rolling back into the depths of the seal!
Even the underground funding chain upon which the Akatsuki relies for survival!
The Underground Exchange's main vault was completely uprooted!
The organization's Kakuzu was beaten so badly that only his heart remained, and all his personal savings were stolen!
They were even forced to sign a "long-term, blood-sucking labor contract," and they'll be subject to a surprise inspection a year later!
"This is what you call systematically collecting Tailed Beast?!"
Obito screamed in his heart, filled with grief and rage:
"This is clearly like throwing all the Tailed Beast and all the pawns into a super-powerful, heavily armed, black iron meat grinder!!"
Create a world with Lin?
Obito even experienced a bizarre and terrifying hallucination.
If the Infinite Tsukuyomi were really activated, that Senju Kenya wearing big floral shorts might just be able to smash the Genjutsu array on the moon with a single punch from a distance!
They even uprooted the God Tree and chewed it like sugarcane!
What's the point of playing this game?!
"Spot."
Deva Path Pain's cold, emotionless voice abruptly interrupted Obito's frantic inner roar:
"Now that you've shown yourself, what's your strategy for dealing with Senju Kenya?"
"Should we mobilize all personnel and launch the Tailed Beast capture operation ahead of schedule?"
Cold sweat instantly soaked his neck from beneath Obito's mask.
Premature arrest?
Who should we capture? The Nine-Tails- Tailed Fox or the One-Tail?
Right now, both of these Tailed Beast are right under Senju Kenya's nose! Anyone who tries to capture them is just throwing their body parts away!
"Do not act rashly."
Obito forcefully suppressed his trembling voice and spoke coldly, attempting to save face:
"My Kamui... allows me to freely switch between reality and illusion."
"If I were to personally intervene, catching Senju Kenya off guard, I could use spacetime distortion to directly suck him into another dimension and banish him..."
"Absolutely not! Don't go and die!!"
Before Obito could finish showing off, Black Zetsu, standing in the corner, suddenly let out a sharp, piercing shout to stop him!
Black Zetsu's single eye was filled with near-mad terror:
" Obito! You have no idea how terrifying that kid's fists are!!"
"His physical explosive power, at its limit, can even shatter spatial barriers with pure physical brute force!"
" Orochimaru's Four Violet Flames Formation is a cautionary tale!"
Black Zetsu's hoarse voice echoed in the hall, startling the single eye beneath Obito's mask, causing it to shrink sharply.
"Your Kamui must materialize itself the instant it absorbs an object, and the spatial channels are interconnected!"
"What if, at the very moment of inhalation, his Iron Fist fist, imbued with monstrous strength, were to blast its way in through the vortex of Kamui..."
"Not only will your body be blasted apart on the spot, but your entire Kamui Dimension... might even be smashed to pieces from the inside!!"
"At that time, even your spare Sharingan hidden in that other dimension will be smashed into a pulp by him!!"
Black Zetsu's words were like a bucket of ice water, completely extinguishing Obito's last desperate gamble!
Invincible Space-Time Ninjutsu.
Faced with this absolute physical brute force that is so tyrannical it can tear apart the rules with its bare hands.
They didn't even have the confidence to protect themselves!
Deathly silence descended once more.
At this moment, the core leadership of the entire Akatsuki was completely driven into a desperate situation of complete isolation by a young man who wasn't even wearing Forehead Protector!
"Call..."
Obito exhaled a deep breath from beneath the mask, his hands clenching into fists, trembling, hidden in his long sleeves.
In the end, this arrogant mastermind had no choice but to grit his teeth and issue the most humiliating order to retreat since the founding of Akatsuki:
"Change strategic policy."
"Completely bypass the Land of Fire and all areas surrounding Konoha!"
"Let's go to the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth first... and capture the Two-Tails and the Four-Tails!"
"As for the Senju Kenya..."
Obito's Sharingan spun violently, his voice filled with helplessness and resentment:
"He is temporarily classified as a top-secret, god-level natural disaster. No one is allowed to provoke him!"
After saying that.
Obito dared not linger for even half a second, fearing that if he was even a step too late, Senju Kenya would rush into Amegakure along with the rain.
The black vortex suddenly twisted, and his figure was sucked back into the Kamui void in a disheveled state, fleeing in panic!
And at this very moment.
A thousand miles away, on the main road at the border of the Land of Fire.
The setting sun casts its golden rays upon a clear, cloudless sky.
Thirty enormous horse-drawn carriages, each laden with tens of thousands of kilograms of gold, bearer bonds, and various tributes.
Amidst a frenzied wave of cheers from thousands of Konoha Ninja and civilians lining the streets, it roared into the gates of Konoha!
