Chapter 4 - statement

Me : Rin died of her own choice, not wanting to make Konoha attack the biju inside her

Your words are like a seal that cuts off the flow of air in the forest.

Obito sculpted. The hand that was ready to destroy you was now shaking violently. The truth that he had been burying deep under the layer of hatred—that Rin was not killed unilaterally by Kakashi, but rather sacrificed herself—was finally blown right in front of his face.

The Destruction of the "Tobi"

The sound of dry laughter that had come out from behind his mask suddenly disappeared, replaced by painful silence. From the hole of the orange mask, you could see one of the Sharingan's eyes widening, trembling with an unbearable surge of emotions.

"Your own choice...?" whispered Obito, his voice now broken and sounded very fragile, like a boy who had just lost everything again. "You said... he chose to die at Kakashi's hands? To protect the village that had cast him into Jinchuriki?"

Itachi closed his eyes for a moment. As a Konoha ninja who also sacrificed everything for the sake of the village, he understood the weight of your words. He looked at Obito with a look full of pity and warning.

Konan stepped closer, his eyes softening as he saw the two men in front of him—the leader who had lost Yahiko's identity, and the masked man who turned out to be just a human being who had been destroyed by love.

Other Members' Reactions

Pain (Nagato) who is observing from a distance begins to feel instability in their plans.

"So... the whole foundation of this 'Mooneye' plan was built on a deliberate misunderstanding?" asked Pain in a deep voice. "You lied to us, and you lied to yourself, Obito."

Hidan and Kakuzu didn't even dare to speak. They could sense that this atmosphere was much more dangerous than any physical fight.

Obito's Last Steps

Obito took a step back. Kamui's vortex starts to appear around his eyes again, but this time it's not to attack you. He seems to want to escape from the reality you just threw at him.

"Shut up... Shut up!" he shouted quietly but emphasily. "This world is still hell! No matter what the reason was, Rin still died! Kakashi still failed to protect him!"

However, it does not attack you. He looks at you for the last time, as if he sees a ghost who knows all his sins and secrets.

"Who are you really...?" he whispered in a desperate tone. "Why do you have to show up today and destroy the only reason that allowed me to survive in this rotten world?"

A Haunting Farewell

You just stood there, staying calm as a "normal guy". Obito was slowly sucked into his own dimension, disappearing without another word.

Pain and Konan looked at each other. They are no longer chasing you. The true identity of their shadow leader has been revealed, and your claim to be Yahiko's younger brother has shaken their belief in "Pain's" path.

Me : "I'm sitting quietly, the real Madara?" Is I

The silence created this time was no longer just a tense one—it was an absolute silence, as if time itself had stopped spinning in the forest.

All the members of Akatsuki, from Pain who had the eyes of the Gods to Itachi who was known for his calmness, suddenly froze. Your words fell like the weight of a mountain hitting the earth.

An indescribable reaction

Itachi Uchiha was the first to react. His normally flat eyes were now drastically widened. His Mangekyo Sharingan spun wildly, trying to dissect every inch of your body, searching for any remnants of chakra or signs of Genjutsu.

"It's impossible..." Itachi whispered, his voice trembling slightly. "Madara should have died decades ago in the Late Valley. If you were him... how could you look like an ordinary man with no detected chakra?"

Pain floated down, landing right in front of you who were sitting quietly. Her Rinnegan's eyes are staring at you with a terrifying intensity.

"You claim to be Yahiko's sister... then you uncover Obito's identity... and now you claim to be the legend, Uchiha Madara?" Pain clenched her fists. "Your courage transcends the limits of human sanity. If you are indeed him, prove why the 'Uchiha Ghost' chose such a weak and meaningless form!"

Konan looked very alert, the papers around him forming sharp spears that pointed to your heart.

"Whoever you are... You are the most dangerous person we have ever met. Not because of your strength, but because of your knowledge that is beyond time."

Akatsuki's Internal Chaos

In the back row, the other members began to lose control:

Kisame laughed nervously while holding his head. "Heh... It's getting crazier. First the boss's younger brother, then Tobi is Obito, now this legend's old grandfather appears? Is today a day of judgment?"

Deidara looked deathly pale. If the man sitting quietly in front of her was really Madara, then all of her "art" would be meaningless in the presence of the man who once tamed the Kyuubi like a pet.

Kakuzu took a step back. As someone who had fought (and survived) from Hashirama Senju, he knew very well that the people of that era were absurd monsters.

Challenges for the Legend

You just sit there, leaning against a tree trunk or simply sitting on an old root, with a serenity that only someone who has seen the end of it all has.

Obito, who was about to disappear into the Kamui dimension, canceled his intentions. It reappears completely, looking at you with mixed hatred and fear.

"If you're right, Madara... then you know that I am just carrying out your plan! Why did you show up now and destroy the pawn you created yourself?!" shouted Obito in a frustrated tone.

Silence Awaits Your Answer

Ten of the world's deadliest escape ninjas are now all around you. They don't attack—they're too scared, too confused, and too curious. They are waiting for a sentence from you that can prove your identity or explain why the legend decided to "pass through the woods" as a normal man.

Me : You've been obito for so long, I'm starting to think about not continuing..
