Afterward, Obito spoke before the leaders of the great villages...
The tailed beasts were originally one entity, called the Ten-Tails. The legendary Sage of Six Paths was the first Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails.
Before the Sage of Six Paths died, fearing the Ten-Tails would run amok, he divided the Ten-Tails into nine parts, which became the current nine tailed beasts.
Once the story ended, the expressions of the people below worsened. Ōnoki asked coldly, "So, your goal in collecting the nine tailed beasts is to recombine them?"
Obito nodded, "That's right. My plan is to become the second Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails and enhance my dōjutsu power to activate a jutsu."
Everyone was shocked. What kind of jutsu would need the power of the Ten-Tails?
Uchiha Obito explained calmly, "This jutsu is a Sharingan genjutsu cast upon the moon. By amplifying it through the moon, it would plunge the entire world into an illusion. I call it... Infinite Tsukuyomi."
"Once this jutsu is activated, the ninja world will no longer have conflict or divisions. At that time, true peace and harmony will arrive."
Raikage A, upon hearing this, couldn't help but shout, "What kind of joke is this? How could we possibly immerse ourselves in a false world you created!"
Gaara also said, "Your ideology is wrong. Peace only has meaning if it's realized in reality. Using illusions is just self-deception."
Ōnoki echoed, "The Kazekage is right. You're merely trying to create a world you self-righteously believe in. A fake will always be fake. No one in the world will recognize what you're doing!"
'No one will recognize it?'
Obito thought of that note he had carefully stored away.
Though he didn't know where Naruto had gotten it from, he had checked repeatedly, it was indeed Rin's handwriting.
[Obito, I've always been watching you!]
"Hahahaha, HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Obito began to laugh wildly in front of everyone.
"Great Nations' Kage, all the wars in the past were initiated because of you. It's your constant conflicts that brought tremendous pain to the ninja world."
"And now, you've suddenly united in hatred, how ridiculous!"
"HAHAHAHA!"
Obito laughed and laughed, tears falling from his eyes.
"You say no one will recognize my actions. The whole world would oppose me, yes, you're right!"
"Do you know why?"
"Because the people who suffered from those Great Nation wars, how could they possibly have the time or leisure to sit here and talk about what's real or illusion, what's true or false?"
"They have long died in the wars caused by your endless schemes, turning into wandering souls."
"Even those who haven't died live displaced lives, numb and miserable. Just staying alive is hard enough. How can they have time to raise their voices before you, to talk about ideals, to talk about peace."
"You only silence those who cannot speak forever. And you think you can represent everyone?"
Obito's voice rose higher and higher. The will within his voice grew stronger and stronger.
So much so that those present felt an illusion, no matter how many mountains of corpses or seas of blood ahead, no matter how much slander he received, this person would never turn back.
Raikage A snorted, "You're just a madman! We will stop you!"
Obito's expression returned to calm. He said flatly, "Hand over the last two tailed beasts, the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, and cooperate with my plan. Otherwise, we can only go to war."
Raikage A froze, "What do you mean by that? Didn't Bee get captured by you?"
Obito calmly stated a fact, "The plan failed. He escaped. He truly is the perfect Jinchūriki. As expected of your brother."
A was stunned, "Huh?"
Beside him, his bodyguard Darui said, "So it's true. I had a vague feeling."
A also realized something and was so angry he nearly died, "That idiot actually sneaked out during the chaos to go play. Unforgivable. Iron Claw Punishment!"
Kazekage Gaara spoke, "It's impossible for me to hand over Naruto."
Mizukage Terumī Mei agreed, "Me too."
Tsuchikage Ōnoki looked toward A, "Raikage, what about you?"
A replied firmly, "Of course I won't hand over my brother!"
Seeing that no one would compromise, Obito also lost interest in continuing the talk.
He said flatly, "Let's not even mention the power of the tailed beasts I've already captured. Even without them..."
At this point, he paused. His two Mangekyō rotated in his eyes, "In front of my eyes, you have no chance of winning."
Gaara responded firmly, "We will not give up!"
Obito sat sideways, one leg propped up, domineeringly declared, "Very well."
"Since you won't listen to reason, in the name of Uchiha Obito, I declare, the Fourth Great Ninja War, begins!"
Ōnoki looked grim, "The Fourth Great Ninja War... Are you serious?"
Obito slowly swept his gaze across the crowd and stood up.
"Then next time... we'll meet on the battlefield."
As he finished, the space around him twisted, and he disappeared without a trace...
———
Land of Iron, not far from the Five Kage Summit location, on a bridge.
Fifth Hokage candidate Danzō and his bodyguards Yamanaka Fū and Aburame Torune were passing by, when a kunai suddenly intercepted them.
They turned around and saw Uchiha Obito standing on a high platform behind them.
Obito spoke slowly, "Long time no see, Danzō, since the Uchiha clan massacre."
Danzō froze, staring intensely at Obito's face, "You're not Uchiha Madara. Who are you?"
Obito chuckled lightly, "Danzō, you really forgot about me. Well, it makes sense. Someone like you wouldn't remember a small Uchiha."
Danzō's face darkened. He began unwrapping the bandage on his right arm.
"As expected, the Uchiha clan are inherently evil. Even if the clan was destroyed, some still slipped through the net."
"No matter who you are, today I'll send you to reunite with your clansmen."
Obito mocked, "Danzō, you're going all in? But maybe you should worry about yourself first."
Danzō snorted, then said to Yamanaka Fū and Aburame Torune, "Test his abilities."
Fū and Torune exchanged a glance and charged toward Obito...
Soon, they jumped onto the high platform and reached Obito.
Aburame Torune fired several kunai, which Obito dodged by leaning back.
But it was just a feint, to create an opening for his teammate.
Sure enough, Yamanaka Fū seized the moment, raised his hand toward Obito, and chanted, "Mind Transfer—"
However, before he could finish, Obito's figure suddenly sank and disappeared.
The two were stunned and began analyzing.
Yamanaka Fū said, "He really has the ability to phase through objects."
Aburame Torune said, "And now? Can you sense his chakra?"
Yamanaka Fū said, "No, it's completely gone."
Yet just as he said this, Yamanaka Fū sensed something and turned around.
Not far away, Uchiha Obito's figure emerged from underground.
Yamanaka Fū saw Obito's eye had turned into the scythe-shaped Mangekyō, and the windmill in his left eye began spinning...
Due to the distance, he couldn't strike with taijutsu immediately, so he raised both hands again.
"Mind Transfer—"
However, before the Yamanaka clan's secret jutsu could be cast, Obito, who had the first move, shouted ahead of him:
"Kamui!"
