Chapter 769: Impure World Madara Joins the Battlefield

“What could a fool like you, living in a greenhouse, possibly understand?” Broken Mask Obito cursed coldly.

Though he had never communicated with Obito, and their meeting was brief, he was also Uchiha Obito.

The moment he saw Obito, he understood one thing: Obito was happy; he had lost nothing and had not experienced great pain.

“You, who possess everything, will never be able to comprehend the truth of this world like me. You shouldn’t have gotten involved, foolish!” Broken Mask Obito continued to curse.

It was better to live well; why leave his own world to participate in the Shinobi World War?

It was bad enough that he sought death himself, but he brought Rin Nohara with him, which was even more deserving of death.

“I’m not foolish, you inherently evil bastard!” Obito retorted.

“You’re also Minato-sensei’s disciple. What did he ever do to offend you that you would harm him and Kushina-sensei, making Naruto an orphan?”

“And how did the people of the Ninja World offend you, that you would start the Fourth Shinobi World War, causing such devastation?”

He couldn’t understand why his counterpart in Uzumaki Naruto’s world had become like this.

He hated war and tragedy, yet Broken Mask Obito ceaselessly created one tragedy after another, instigating the Shinobi World War.

“All of this is a necessary sacrifice, the last darkness before dawn,” Broken Mask Obito replied without changing his expression.

Konoha’s strength was too great, which was unfavorable to his plan, so he had to weaken Konoha, provoke conflict between the Uchiha Clan and Konoha, and lay the groundwork for war.

If the Uchiha Clan and Konoha fought a major war, it would inevitably trigger a new Shinobi World War, allowing him to fish in troubled waters.

Unfortunately, the plan encountered a small hiccup, and ultimately, the Shinobi World War did not break out; there were only some localized conflicts.

However, this did not significantly affect Obito’s grand plan; it merely pushed back the timeline.

“When the Eye of the Moon descends upon the world, the dead will be resurrected, and everyone will have their wishes fulfilled and receive salvation.”

Broken Mask Obito felt no guilt about killing.

Once he used Infinite Tsukuyomi, everyone would live in a world of happy dreams, and the dead could also be resurrected in those dreams.

This was also why Broken Mask Obito did not resurrect Rin Nohara.

He was capable of simply resurrecting one person, but making Rin Nohara live in this hopeless world would be a desecration of her.

“That sounds like you’ve been fooled by a charlatan. Even Muzuki-sensei can’t do something so exaggerated. You think you can do it with just nine Tailed Beasts?” Obito scoffed.

Resurrecting everyone and fulfilling everyone’s wishes was ridiculous.

“Communicating with a fool like you is a waste of life. Get out of here!” Broken Mask Obito flashed forward, pulled the Obito Shadow Clone out of the Kamui Dimension, and flung him away forcefully.

Kakashi intended to catch the Obito Shadow Clone, but when he saw Broken Mask Obito’s face, his heart instantly pounded, and he froze on the spot.

The others also looked surprised when they saw Broken Mask Obito’s face, and they stopped their actions for a moment.

Even the Obito Shadow Clone outside was the same.

Finally, the Obito Shadow Clone, who was heavily slammed against a rock, dissipated into white smoke.

“My memories actually flowed to me. Is it because the main body hasn’t arrived yet?” The Obito Shadow Clone realized the new memories in his mind.

“So you survived, but why…?” Kakashi looked at Broken Mask Obito with confusion, even pain.

The shock he received was even greater than Obito’s.

For Obito, this was, after all, something from another world.

Kakashi was different; this was his world.

From his perspective, “Obito” was his dear friend who sacrificed himself to save him, someone he would cherish for a lifetime.

Just a few hours ago, he was still reminiscing about his deceased dear friend because of the arrival of Obito and others.

Now, he was told that the Masked Man, who committed many evil deeds and started the Fourth Shinobi World War, was his deceased dear friend. How could Kakashi accept this?

“It really is ‘Obito’.” Kakashi was full of surprise. He had only been joking before.

No wonder no one came to cause trouble when Kushina was giving birth.

The “Masked Man” was acting as a guard at the door and had no time for an attack.

Thinking this, Kakashi looked at the Obito Shadow Clone with some worry.

Based on his understanding of Obito, this matter would definitely deal a significant blow to Obito.

Although they were from different worlds, countless pieces of information proved that their worlds were too similar.

In other words, Broken Mask Obito was a possibility for Obito.

Without Muzuki, Obito might very well have become a ruthless bastard.

“You’re not kidding, are you? This kind of thing…” Naruto clenched his fists, his face full of disbelief.

He had only known Obito for a little over a month, but Naruto knew very well that Obito was a kind and enthusiastic good person.

Even if he unconsciously said something bad, Obito would immediately apologize with a sincere expression.

Even in the dangerous Shinobi World War, Obito was willing to actively come to help, to help Naruto beat the evil “Uchiha Madara.”

Yet, the Obito of their world was actually the true culprit who killed his parents!

This was very unusual. They were parallel worlds; even if their experiences were different, as counterparts, their personalities should be similar.

Everyone who knew Obito showed expressions of shock or surprise.

“Shouldn’t you know this best, since Rin was killed by your ‘own hands’, Kakashi?” Broken Mask Obito said with a mocking expression.

“I…” Kakashi opened his mouth but said nothing, his face filled with pain and self-reproach.

Obito wanted to ask something, but ultimately did not speak.

This situation was not a good time for conversation. The priority was to defeat Broken Mask Obito and eliminate the Gedo Statue, which was currently evolving.

“This must be a fake mask you made, right? The Obito I know would never grow up to be a bastard like you!” Naruto threw a Rasengan and charged forward.

“A fool like him isn’t worthy of becoming ‘me’.” Broken Mask Obito took the Uchiha fan from his back, held it in front of him, and used Uchiha Reflection, bouncing Naruto away.

After calming down, Broken Mask Obito realized that the situation was actually quite manageable.

Kakashi had insufficient Chakra and couldn’t use Kamui as freely as he could, meaning his Kamui was still effective, just requiring a bit more caution than usual.

Coupled with the power the Hashirama cells brought him, it wouldn’t be difficult to stall until Uchiha Madara arrived.

“You call Obito, who wants to become Hokage and stop the war, a fool. Then what are you? An ambitious person who wants to cause chaos in the world? That doesn’t make you smart; it just makes people think you’re a bastard!” Rin Nohara stepped out from behind the crowd, her eyes fixed on Broken Mask Obito as she retorted.

Broken Mask Obito’s hand, gripping the Uchiha fan, trembled slightly. He said nothing.

Ignorance is bliss.

Rin Nohara didn’t understand the greatness of the Eye of the Moon Plan, so her slightly nonsensical words could be forgiven.

Whoosh!

Just then, the Jinchuriki, who had fallen to the ground after their Tailed Beasts were extracted, suddenly erupted in a towering white light, and their souls began to leave their bodies.

Even the Edo Tensei Kakuzu, sealed by Kakuzu, broke free from the scroll.

“Itachi succeeded! The Edo Tensei has been released!” Shisui showed a relieved expression at the sight.

Since the Edo Tensei was released, it meant that Yakushi Kabuto had been defeated by Uchiha Itachi, and Broken Mask Obito would no longer have reinforcements.

“Madara should still have a trump card, right?” Broken Mask Obito couldn’t help but frown.

If Uchiha Madara disappeared now, he might not be able to hold out until the Ten-Tails completed its evolution.

His strength was indeed great, but he had too many opponents.

Naruto in Kurama Mode, Nagato with intact limbs and mastery of Senjutsu Chakra, Shisui with Mangekyo Sharingan and Senjutsu Chakra, Sage Jiraiya, Sage Orochimaru…

“Looks like you’re out of luck. You won’t get to see Muzuki.” Kakuzu shrugged, looking at the Edo Tensei Kakuzu whose soul was about to ascend to heaven.

He couldn’t restrain a soul that was about to leave.

“It’s a bit of a shame, but there’s nothing to be done.” Edo Tensei Kakuzu sighed, feeling the irresistible pull.

“But don’t worry, I’ll find all the money you’ve hidden so it doesn’t rot in the ground.” As Edo Tensei Kakuzu ascended, Kakuzu said with a chuckle.

“You! Ninja World expletive!” Edo Tensei Kakuzu couldn’t help but curse a few times. That was his life’s savings!

Unfortunately, because he had already flown to a certain height, Kakuzu couldn’t hear what he was saying, only seeing his lips move.

“Good opportunity!” Killer Bee saw the chance and immediately charged towards the Gedo Statue.

“Kamui!” Broken Mask Obito flashed in front of the fully Tailed Beast-transformed Killer Bee and released specially prepared iron spikes from within the Kamui Dimension.

Bang, bang, bang!

The sharp iron spikes pierced through the Eight-Tails’ body and into the ground. The Outer Path power contained within them rendered him immobile.

“Uchiha Flame Formation!” Immediately after, Broken Mask Obito slammed his hand onto the ground, and a fiery red circular barrier quickly rose around the Gedo Statue, protecting it.

This was a barrier Ninjutsu Uchiha Madara taught him, its solidity second only to the Four Red Yang Formation that only four Kage could perform.

“I’m a useless person who couldn’t protect his comrades, but even so, I will stop you.” Kakashi composed himself and said to Broken Mask Obito, gripping his Kunai tightly.

The former “Obito” was his dear friend who would sacrifice his life to save him, but that couldn’t change the reality that Obito had fallen into darkness.

What he could do was kill Broken Mask Obito.

“Since you admit you’re useless, you should just lie on the ground obediently!” Broken Mask Obito unleashed Wood Release to block the incoming attacks, ignored the others, and used Kamui to shoot a large number of Kunai at Kakashi.

“Sage Art: Purple Lightning!” Kakashi extended his hand, and Senjutsu Chakra erupted, his palm emitting a large burst of Purple Lightning to help Kakashi block the attack.

“You use your Chakra for Kamui; I’ll help you block the attacks,” Kakashi said.

With Obito’s main body absent, only Kakashi’s distorted Kamui could counter the ethereal Kamui.

Although being protected by his younger self was a bit awkward, Kakashi was a rational Ninja and knew that now was not the time to care about such things.

He exhaled deeply, extracting Chakra as quickly as possible, waiting for Broken Mask Obito to use Kamui to evade attacks.

Under the siege of many powerful individuals, Broken Mask Obito could not possibly avoid using Kamui.

The moment Broken Mask Obito used Kamui, Kakashi immediately used Kamui, also teleporting the attack inside, making it impossible for Broken Mask Obito to dodge.

“Damn it.” The injured Broken Mask Obito’s expression was very grim.

If not for the Hashirama cells, he might have already been severely wounded; there were too many powerful individuals here.

“How unsightly, Obito.” Suddenly, a voice familiar to Broken Mask Obito reached his ears.

Uchiha Madara, clad in red battle armor, descended from the sky and landed beside Broken Mask Obito.

Jiraiya and the others stopped their attacks immediately and quickly pulled back a distance.

“I was originally planning to have some fun with the Five Kage,” Uchiha Madara said with dissatisfaction.

He was very displeased with Broken Mask Obito for making him revive in an Edo Tensei body instead of through Reincarnation.

Edo Tensei was fine, but just as he was getting interested and wanted to play with the Five Kage, Broken Mask Obito had White Zetsu call for help.

Uchiha Madara could only activate his complete Susanoo to quickly defeat the Five Kage and rush to Broken Mask Obito’s side.

Even his Edo Tensei body had issues on the way. Fortunately, he had deciphered Senju Tobirama’s forbidden Ninjutsu, which was why he didn’t dissipate like the others.

“These guys are no worse than the Five Kage; in fact, they’re stronger. You can have more fun,” Broken Mask Obito said expressionlessly.

Hearing Broken Mask Obito’s words, Uchiha Madara looked at Kakashi and the others with interest.

“Nine-Tailed’s power, Senjutsu Chakra, and the Rinnegan…” Uchiha Madara showed a surprised expression when he saw Nagato.

Broken Mask Obito had one Rinnegan; how did that Ninja who looked like Nagato possess two Rinnegan?

When Uchiha Madara saw Rin Nohara, his expression became even more surprised, and he couldn’t help but glance at Broken Mask Obito.

However, Broken Mask Obito’s face showed no expression, so Uchiha Madara couldn’t discern his inner thoughts.

“They do seem more interesting than the Five Kage,” Uchiha Madara laughed loudly.

“Edo Tensei Uchiha Madara? Why? Wasn’t the Edo Tensei already released?” Shisui looked at Uchiha Madara’s eyes, somewhat confused.

At first, he thought Uchiha Madara had been resurrected by some means, but upon closer inspection, he realized Uchiha Madara was still in the Edo Tensei state.

“Any Ninjutsu can be deciphered. He must have deciphered the Edo Tensei, which is why he wasn’t affected by the Ninjutsu’s release,” Orochimaru analyzed.

Due to Muzuki, the path he took was somewhat different from Orochimaru in Uzumaki Naruto’s world, and he wasn’t proficient in Edo Tensei.

But Orochimaru knew many other forbidden Ninjutsu, and by analogy, he could guess what had happened.

“Uchiha Madara with the Rinnegan…” Kakashi took a deep breath, his heart growing anxious.

The Uchiha Madara that Muzuki killed was so powerful with just a Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

The Uchiha Madara before them not only had the immortality of Edo Tensei but also an unknown Rinnegan. Could they really seal him?

PS:

Finished writing after one o’clock yesterday, lay in bed until almost four before falling asleep.

As a result, I had no energy all day today, and my typing speed was pitiful.

I’ll update normally today, go to bed early, to prevent health issues and getting sick, which would mean taking leave and spending money at the hospital.
