[Naruto, Original World, Final Battle Location]
Floating in the sky, the Old Obito looked coldly at the uneasy Allied Shinobi Forces below his feet.
He noticed that just now, when he truly intended to destroy the world, many people cast blaming glances at the Five Kage.
At this moment, this group must again think, compared to being completely erased from the shinobi world, having a beautiful dream isn't so bad, right?
'Humans really are such ignorant and foolish, arrogant yet cowardly creatures.'
From his perspective, the Five Kage using Edo Tensei to summon Rin proves that this world is not even worth cherishing, but from the Allied Forces' point of view, what the Five Kage did was merely to protect the people.
Yet in the moment of danger, humanity's deep-rooted flaws are laid completely bare.
'Such a world, what is there to be nostalgic about?'
At the side, Young Rin looked uneasily at the Old Obito and said to the Young Obito beside her, "He... really doesn't intend to carry out the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan anymore, and plans to destroy the world instead?"
"Isn't this kind of thinking a bit too extreme?"
Young Obito said calmly, "It is a bit, but if you really think about it, he's just angry, that's all."
Young Rin sighed, "Why don't you... try to persuade him? Otherwise, what was the point of everything we've done for so long?"
Young Obito shook his head, "No need for me. Didn't Teacher Minato already go to find the version of you from this world? She will naturally persuade him."
As soon as he said this, next to Tsunade, whoosh!, three figures appeared.
It was Minato, along with the previously escaped Kakashi and Edo Rin.
The Five Kage breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. As long as the two of them returned, perhaps they could stabilize Obito's emotions.
At this moment, because of Minato Namikaze's protection, no one dared to raise any excessive demands.
Onoki merely looked sincerely at Edo Rin and said, "Little girl, it seems that because of you, Uchiha Obito wants to destroy the world completely. I believe this must be something you don't want to see. This time, could you... try talking to him?"
Edo Rin did not seem surprised by this. She only sighed once, "If we had known this would happen, why did we act that way back then?"
She said calmly, "I will talk to Obito, but this isn't for your sake, it's... for his."
"Actually, after traveling the shinobi world with Obito and seeing so many civilians' tragedies, I too don't hold much goodwill toward the rulers of the shinobi world," After speaking, Edo Rin no longer paid attention to the others and instead slowly walked toward the Old Obito.
Seeing this, Old Obito quickly waved his hand, and a Truth-Seeking Orb floated down from beside him, forming a disc at Rin's feet.
Edo Rin understood what Obito meant and stood on it. The disc lifted Rin into the air and gently floated to Obito's side.
Obito looked at Rin, still appearing as she did before death. Although he had already seen her once in the Pure Land, he still couldn't help but say, "Rin, this time, I can finally get a response from you. It's just... the process wasn't something I wanted to see happen."
Edo Rin shook her head and said, "Obito, since you already planned to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi, shouldn't you have expected this earlier? Even I, when in danger, would resist and struggle desperately, anyone would do the same."
"Using Edo Tensei to bring me back was merely a last-minute decision. Perhaps you shouldn't place blame for it."
Obito's expression, however, carried a trace of coldness, "But they once again made you witness this broken, ugly world. They defiled you. That is unforgivable!"
Edo Rin looked at Obito and asked, "So, you want to destroy everything?"
Obito clenched his fist, "Perhaps humanity is already beyond saving. Why should they deserve to enjoy a beautiful dream?"
Slap!
Edo Rin raised her hand and slapped Obito across the face.
"Just because of inner anger, you let your emotions control you. Then what does everything you've done so far count for?"
"If you weren't doing all this for me, but for the peace and beauty of the entire world, then you shouldn't deny it all just because of me!"
"Obito, don't let hatred cloud your mind. Don't let me... look down on you!"
Obito unconsciously raised his hand and held Rin's hand that was still resting on his face.
At this moment, there were water droplets sliding down his cheek.
They were not sweat, nor rain, they were tears.
Edo Rin gently asked, "Obito, have you regained clarity?"
Obito suddenly felt a great warmth. So even someone like him could receive redemption?
He slowly nodded and said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong, Rin. Activating Infinite Tsukuyomi wasn't just for you. If I destroy the world just because of a moment of anger, then all my previous efforts would be laughably ridiculous."
Edo Rin's expression softened from her previous sternness, "So, Obito, there's nothing for you to avoid. This broken shinobi world, even if you didn't revive me, I still see it for what it is. Now that it's come to this, activate Infinite Tsukuyomi as soon as possible. Excessive killing is meaningless."
Through Obito, Rin naturally saw Young Obito and Young Rin, and learned of their plan to capture Black Zetsu.
This plan, in a sense, was truly the one that could prevent humanity's destruction. Therefore, regarding Infinite Tsukuyomi, from every angle, Edo Rin supported it.
Obito nodded. He had already regained clarity.
Killing had always been a means, not the end. He looked up at the God Tree's bud, now blooming after absorbing enough chakra, and knew that at this moment, he had only one mission.
He protected Rin behind him and softly said, "Rin, then watch closely. The scene where all living beings in the shinobi world receive salvation."
After speaking, Obito brought his hands together. Immediately, the Sharingan inside the blooming bud at the top of the God Tree began to spin, aiming at the moon hanging in the sky, now dyed an unknown blood-red.
"SHINE UPON THE WORLD—"
"INFINITE TSUKUYOMI!"
A gigantic Rinne-Sharingan appeared on the moon, overlooking all living beings, and in an instant, the light it released turned night into bright day.
On the Allied Forces' side, everyone suddenly had a bad premonition. However, before they could react, they were already illuminated by the light. In an instant, their eyes turned into the form of the Rinnegan, and they fell into slumber.
Young Obito's expression changed when he saw this. He quickly pulled Rin into the Kamui dimension. Had they been a second slower, both he and Rin would've been caught as well.
At this moment, in the real world, the only ones immune to Infinite Tsukuyomi's light were: Obito himself, those who were Edo Tensei revived like Madara and the four Hokage, Rin, and a large group of Uchiha still running in the distance.
