"What's wrong with a world of illusion?"
"Reality is too cruel; it only makes this void grow larger."
"Sometimes it can be frustrating."
"Sometimes it can even leave people unable to offer help in time."
["Just like I used to be."]
"Just like when I missed out!"
"Look carefully!"
"There's nothing left in my heart!"
"I can't even feel pain now!"
"This hole... was torn open by this hellish world!"
["..."
[Kannabi Bridge, inside the underground base.]
[Obito Uchiha was moved to a secret room by White Zetsu.]
[Yakushi Kabuto helped him begin changing his physical body.]
[I heard Obito Uchiha talking in his sleep.]
He paused slightly, taken aback.
"Uchiha Obito."
["Hehe~"]
[Then, they roughly guessed what Obito Uchiha had dreamed about.]
[only. ]
He never had the chance to say these things.
[The situation on the front lines.]
It was worse than he had imagined.
"It failed..."
"Even the Impure World Reincarnation technique failed."
"The most powerful piece... seems to have broken free from its constraints."
"I just don't know what will happen next."
"But it's okay."
"There's one more chess piece."
Kabuto adjusted his glasses.
"That's about it."
"Sasuke is about to find Itachi Uchiha."
"With Sasuke's current power... I'm afraid Itachi won't be able to hold out for long."
"His body is nearing its limit."
"So... how strong would Itachi Uchiha be after being resurrected using Edo Tensei?"
"This is really something to look forward to."
"Since Madara Uchiha is now out of control..."
"Then, the task of retrieving the Rinnegan still falls to you."
Kabuto looked at Obito Uchiha, who was still in a deep sleep.
Looking at this scene on the large screen with its black border.
Kakashi frowned slightly.
Suddenly, for a fleeting moment, I understood Obito, the seemingly useless trash.
If Naruto-kun with black frames...
Including Naruto in this world.
If they encounter someone.
They weren't my childhood friends.
It's not Iruka.
Perhaps Naruto will be even more insane than Obito Uchiha.
but.
There is a fundamental difference between the two.
Kakashi shook his head.
If you dare to do something, you must dare to take responsibility for it.
The word "beast" is already written all over their faces.
Then you'll be a beast your whole life.
A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold.
No.
There's no such thing as a free lunch!
What about the innocent people who died because of the mistakes they made?
Um? !
etc.
Are you from Konoha?
That's alright then.
A prodigal son returns, saving more innocent people.
It seems like it's not entirely impossible to wash it~
Uchiha clan: ? ? ?
Hidden Mist Village (Village of Blood Mist): ? ? ?
...
"That's really interesting."
Kabuto chuckled softly.
The final step of the surgery has been completed.
Then, he looked up and stared ahead.
"Is there something you need?"
["Hehehe~" Black Zetsu's laughter came from outside.]
"Madara Uchiha failed."
Kabuto lowered his eyes slightly.
His expression was obscured.
["I know."]
Black Zetsu paused slightly.
But she quickly regained her composure.
[Upon hearing this.]
Kabuto narrowed his eyes slightly.
[Is there absolutely no surprise?]
How long will it take for Obito to recover?
"As early as tonight," Kabuto Yakushi said.
"It seems it's too late." Black Zetsu shook his head.
[Controlling Zetsu's body, he headed towards the deeper underground base.]
["bring it on."]
"I need your power."
"If you want to just admit defeat like this... or place your hopes on Itachi Uchiha, who might not even be able to defeat Obito Uchiha."
[The corner of Kabuto's mouth slightly lifted.]
With the help of the unknown.
He successfully activated the Perfect Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode.
[after. ]
Everything became clear.
[Including why I've been able to have such a smooth journey.]
[There are many suspicious points.]
"It really was you."
"So brazenly confident."
"There's probably an even more powerful trump card at play."
[Da da da——]
The sound of Jue's footsteps faded into the distance.
Kabuto slowly rose to his feet.
He habitually pushed up his glasses again.
"Things are really getting more and more interesting."
"The embodiment of Madara Uchiha's will?"
"I never imagined that someone like Madara Uchiha could be so thoroughly deceived."
"That's really interesting."
"A pawn even more powerful than Madara Uchiha..."
"What kind of being would it be?"
The pharmacist left the secret room without looking back.
As for Obito Uchiha, who is in a deep slumber.
Nobody cares.
After it wakes up, it will do what it's supposed to do on its own.
[The matter of reclaiming the Rinnegan.]
Even if no one said anything, Obito Uchiha would definitely go.
Only in this way can it regain its confidence.
As for reviving Uchiha Madara?
That's absolutely impossible.
It trusts no one but itself.
[After exiting the secret room.]
Kabuto was taken aback.
[The surrounding area is filled with White Zetsu.]
[Although it's exactly the same as before.]
However, under the perfect Sage Mode perception of Ryuchi Cave.
However, there are many differences.
[The pharmacist's heart rate increased.]
A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
"Oh, I see."
"That's really surprising."
"They really have a lot of confidence."
"If Lord Orochimaru were here, he would definitely be very interested."
[The words fell.]
Kabuto himself was also taken aback.
He then paused, closed his eyes, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
["Hmph~"]
"Lord Orochimaru has lost himself."
["It negated my past self."]
[While speaking.]
Kabuto Yakushi raised his foot again.
[Headed towards the location where Black Zetsu had gone.]
[Yakushi Kabuto sticks out his long tongue.]
[Imitating Orochimaru's gesture of sticking out his tongue to lick his lips.]
"Since that's the case."
To find meaning in existence, to find your true self...
Let's start with Lord Orochimaru.
"Uchiha Sasuke... I will have you."
"The Rinnegan..."
"If Madara Uchiha could awaken the Rinnegan, you definitely can too."
"So, before that..."
"Do you have any White Zetsu near Itachi's base?"
[Kabuto looked at the white Zetsu standing on either side of the passageway and asked.]
The White Zetsu grinned, showing their large teeth, and said:
"Yes, there is!"
"Lord Black Zetsu had already made arrangements~"
"Regardless of who wins or loses, the White Zetsu will bring back all the blood, tissues, and hair left behind by Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi."
