Uchiha Obito's tone was not friendly.
His eyes, glowing crimson, revolved with the pattern of his Mangekyō Sharingan, radiating coldness and menace.
Since awakening Kamui, his powerful pupil power and intense emotions catalyzed a change in his mentality. From an impulsive young man, he became a ruthless critic of the world...
By now, if it weren't for the constant mentions of peace in the diary that Uchiha Rin left behind, Obito would have already begun an indiscriminate massacre.
For Obito, Rin's death was the result of the incompetence of both the Shinobi Alliance and Konoha. Therefore, everyone in the shinobi world was responsible for his tragic loss.
There were no innocents. There was only a difference between direct and indirect guilt, but in the end, everyone deserved to die.
Except for Kazuki, who had always looked after him and Rin. Outside of him, there was no one worth saving.
Uchiha Madara was nothing more than a remnant of a bygone era, an old man who had sown war and chaos since the Sengoku Period. He had no right to dictate anything to him...
Being the savior of the world was a burden that only he, who carried Rin's dream, could bear. No one else was worthy of taking on that role.
After expressing his conviction, Obito gave Madara a quick glance and immediately frowned.
Unlike the wrinkled, dying old man, the Madara before him showed no trace of old age. His single, one-eyed Sharingan had been replaced by a pair of eyes with strange circular patterns...
In addition, a dark and disturbing energy emanated from his body, an aura that induced negativity in those who approached him.
After absorbing the negative emotional chakra contained in the Box of Ultimate Bliss, Madara had regained much of his vitality and had acquired some characteristics typical of a demonic creature.
Under the influence of this evil energy, Obito's mind was invaded by images of Rin's death...
The bloody kiss that never came, the blood-soaked diary pierced by a sharp edge... All of it flashed before his eyes, inflaming his unstable heart.
Rage consumed him. Casting aside his doubts about Madara's strange eyes and his sudden recovery, Obito declared in an imperious voice, "Madara, tell me how to use the Demonic Statue. I will be the new savior!"
Uchiha Madara wanted to laugh when he heard this tone.
How many years...
Or rather, no one had ever dared to speak to him with such insolence before...
Not even Hashirama or that bastard Tobirama had dared to address him in such a tone. How dare a kid who just got the Mangekyō Sharingan act like this?
Too arrogant!
Does he really not know how powerful Uchiha Madara, the Shura of the Ninja World, is?
Uchiha Madara snorted coldly. "Kid, who do you think you are?"
"If you're truly interested in the peace of the shinobi world, I can allow you to join my plan. Your eyes, at least, aren't half bad."
Things had changed.
In order to save Kazuki from that rat called Tobirama, Uchiha Madara put aside the obsession of pursuing his heyday and dancing in the Shinobi World and suddenly realized that the spokesman's plan seemed unnecessary in the Eye of the Moon Plan.
As long as he regained some of his power, he, Uchiha Madara, would still be among the most powerful shinobi in this world.
After all… there was no Hashirama in this world to stop him anymore.
However, there was a problem…
Uchiha Madara realized that he had awakened a little too late. Uchiha Obito, who had turned evil because of the previous plan, seemed to be one of his biggest obstacles...
That kid, who had acquired a pair of powerful eyes, wasn't willing to be a mere chess piece. He wanted to be the player.
That was unacceptable.
To become the second Sage of the Six Paths and bring peace to the shinobi world… only he, Uchiha Madara, had the right to do so.
From the attitude Uchiha Obito displayed, it was clear that he would not be obedient.
Beside him, Black Zetsu looked away with some unease, furtively observing Obito.
It was the 'first' time they had both met under their new identities.
What made Black Zetsu feel very uncomfortable was that when Uchiha Obito's eyes swept over it, there was no emotion at all, all cold and violent.
Logically, Black Zetsu knew that it was impossible for Obito to recognize him.
But certain emotions could not be resolved with logic alone.
"Uchiha Madara, this is no longer your era."
Uchiha Obito sneered and said: "Your chakra is wrapped in a dark and evil energy… I don't know what's happened to you, nor do I care. Just hand me the Demonic Statue and the jutsu to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi."
His voice turned even colder. "After that, the shinobi world will know peace."
He paused briefly before adding, "If you resist, for the sole reason that you once saved my life, I will refrain from killing you… but don't change my mind."
Madara let out a cruel laugh. His lips curved into a smile as he twisted his neck with a dry crack.
Although he wasn't at his peak, Madara was eager to fight.
And if his first fight after regaining some of his strength was to crush a brat who doesn't know the top of the world... well, it didn't sound so bad.
To one side, Kazuki's clone watched the scene silently and shook his head in resignation.
How did they really fight?
All of this would have been resolved if they had simply talked and found common ground to cooperate. But, of course, these two preferred to complicate things.
Obito, after obtaining the power of Kamui, along with the emotional stimulation, was flying through the clouds.
Uchiha Madara is also outrageous. He has obviously changed from a dying old man to a young old man. If he sits down with Uchiha Obito and talks with a friendly face, then perhaps he can get an extremely useful thug...
But no.
Madara couldn't help it. He'd barely regained any strength and was already desperate to start dancing.
"They are two Uchiha with Mangekyō with classic behavior... Uchiha Izuna is probably a special case, right?"
Kazuki sighed.
They barely gained a little more power, and they already believed themselves invincible.
Instead of resolving matters simply, they always took conflicts to the extreme and resorted to violence as the only solution.
Maybe… that was just the old tradition of the Uchiha clan.
"Fire Release...!"
In response to Obito's arrogant words, a fierce blaze covered the entire mountain.
Madara's eyes shone as he laughed with excitement.
After decades hidden in darkness, feeling his chakra burning in battle again… was an indescribable sensation.
But no matter how fierce the fire was…
It could not overcome the distortion of space-time.
In Obito's right eye, a spiral of energy began to spin. The flames, upon contact with the distortion, disappeared without any resistance, completely absorbed into the Kamui dimension.
Obito let out a sneer.
"Madara, you were the one who attacked first." Obito said coldly, his left eye focusing on Madara's position.
In an instant, the Kamui's spatial distortion appeared around Madara. He had completely forgotten his 'promise' not to kill him.
But Madara didn't rush to dodge. Instead, he stood still, curiously experiencing Kamui's power.
In his opinion, no matter how strong Obito's Mangekyō was, it could never compare to his Rinnegan.
Seeing that Madara didn't dodge, Obito showed an even more arrogant expression.
The Kamui was the supreme power that he had awakened for Rin, under which he could sweep away all enemies, and no one could resist it!
However, the next second…
Madara's eyes flashed purple.
An intense white shockwave erupted from his body..
[Shinra Tensei!]
The spatial barrier surrounding him shattered, and the distorted energy spread throughout the surroundings without causing any major visible disturbances.
Uchiha Obito frowned instantly.
"Brat… Your dōjutsu has a very valuable spatial ability…" Madara muttered in a deep voice and haughtily pointed at his Rinnegan and retorted with disdain, "But my eyes… are the eyes of a true sage. They have surpassed all the dōjutsu that have existed in the Uchiha clan. They are the pinnacle of existence."
His gaze became even more penetrating. "Before these eyes, any jutsu, any weakness... are exposed."
