After making his decision, Shinju withdrew all the chakra he had spread out.
He thought to himself that the war was nearing its end, and it no longer mattered whether he still had power or not.
The Great Toad Sage looked at Shinju and nodded: "Since you've come to terms with it, stay at Myoboku Mountain until the Fourth Great Ninja War ends."
Shinju: "…"
Actually, staying here wasn't a problem. After all, Myoboku Mountain was a paradise, and the scenery was beautiful!
But eating bugs every day was a bit too much! (||๐_๐)
The Great Toad Sage said: "I understand your concern. If the food here doesn't suit your taste, you can bring some from the ninja world."
"Also, I can open up a special area next to my temple for you… you can do whatever you like there."
Shinju nodded, a look of gratitude on his face: "Thank you, Great Toad Sage. (ˊᗜˋ*)"
After chatting briefly, the Great Toad Sage's eyelids started to droop, and Shinju, sensing the cue, quietly withdrew.
After Shinju left, the Great Toad Sage looked vacant: "I hope the world survives this ordeal and gains a thousand years of peace…"
...
On the battlefield of the Fourth Great Ninja War.
Everyone noticed that Shinju's chakra had disappeared from their bodies.
Sasuke, no longer in Susanoo's Thunder God form, showed confusion in his eyes: "It felt like there was still a lot of chakra left… why is it suddenly gone? (꒪⌓꒪)"
Naruto: "It must be that Shinju cut it off… but it's nothing serious. Anyway, we've already won! ୧⍢⃝୨"
As Naruto spoke, he looked toward Obito, who was falling not far away…
The next moment.
"Whoosh!!"
A spatial whirlpool suddenly appeared on the ground beneath Obito!
Naruto initially thought Obito intended to resist, but half a second later he realized that what emerged from the whirlpool was none other than Kakashi-sensei!
"Kakashi-sensei came out from the space-time? ( ˝ᗢ̈˝ )"
After speaking, Naruto's expression changed as he frantically warned: "No! Kakashi-sensei, be careful! Obito is about to land on you! Σ(っ °Д °;)っ"
Hearing Naruto's warning, Kakashi instinctively looked up and spread his arms…
"Whoosh!"
"Ugh!~"
With a muffled grunt from Kakashi, Obito's body landed perfectly in his arms!
Naruto: "Princess carry?!!! ∑(°Д°ノ)ノ"
Having seen Obito's memories, he knew these two shared a bond. Now, it seemed the bond was quite deep! --003d_--003d
Opposite them, Obito tilted his head, and the two locked eyes!
Time seemed to freeze, and their expressions were striking!
"Cough cough~" Kakashi didn't know what to say, covering his awkwardness with a cough, slowly placing Obito's severely injured body on the ground…
Observing Obito's condition, it wasn't hard to guess that the Allied Forces had achieved victory!
As for Obito, being the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, having lost the beast, his life was naturally near its end.
Now Obito lay on the ground, his eyes lifeless, staring at the blood moon above and the giant flower on the Divine Tree that had stopped blooming!
"Kakashi, even with the Sharingan, I still can't see through anything, can't find anything." Obito's voice was hoarse.
Kakashi knew that Obito was completely exhausted, unable to resist, so he let his guard down and replied: "I feel the same way. After all, my Sharingan comes from you."
Behind them, Minato Namikaze looked at his two students with a complicated expression: "Obito is no longer the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, so does that mean…"
The Nine-Tails sealed inside Obito shook its head: "No. The Ten-Tails Jinchūriki is different from ordinary Jinchūriki."
"Even without the tailed beast chakra, he still has the Ten-Tails' body and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. That thing's life force is incredibly strong."
"I see…" Minato nodded.
Next to Minato, Sasuke looked at Naruto and asked: "Aren't you going to personally finish off Obito?"
Naruto: "Why do you say that?"
Sasuke replied: "On the way to the battlefield, Shinju told me what's happened recently… Obito is the one who caused your parents' death, isn't he? Aren't you going to…"
He made a throat-slashing gesture.
Naruto chuckled: "Forget it."
"My dad's here and didn't say anything, so I won't go up. (||๐_๐)"
On the other side.
Obito coughed twice and said: "By the way, Kakashi, you haven't met Rin yet."
As he finished, Rin Nohara stepped in front of Kakashi, smiling: "Long time no see, Kakashi. （ --0027▿ --0027 ）"
Kakashi froze on the spot: (°ー°〃)
This this this…
"This body… is an Edo Tensei body, right… who…"
Before Kakashi could finish, Rin mentioned Shinju's name.
Kakashi thought to himself, as expected, then looked at Obito with a teasing expression:
"No wonder the Allied Forces won so fast. Turns out Shinju invited Rin. (๑ت๑)"
Obito blushed upon hearing that.
Afterwards, the three who hadn't seen each other for a long time chatted a bit more.
Obito realized that these few minutes were happier than over ten years of carrying out the Moon's Eye Plan!
However, his joy didn't last long.
He also knew he was a sinner…
"Kakashi, Rin, step back."
Obito formed hand signs…
Kakashi and Rin's expressions changed: "You…"
Obito shook his head and said seriously: "Meeting you in these final moments, I'm satisfied."
"I am a sinner and should have entered the Netherworld long ago…"
After saying this, regret, resolve, and a sense of release appeared in Obito's eyes…
"Rinne Tensei…"
Before Obito could finish, at the other end of the battlefield, Orochimaru's voice rang out!
"Edo Tensei!!"
"Whoa!!"
Flying dust adhered to a certain White Zetsu, distorting its face until it finally became Uchiha Madara!!
"Back to life again!"
"That Obito finally remembered me…"
"Wait! Where are my eyes! Where's my Rinnegan! Σ(っ °Д °;)っ"
While Madara was puzzled that his Edo Tensei body had no eyes,
On the other side of the battlefield, from the ground beneath Obito, a black hand emerged, instantly merging with Obito!
Obito's body was extremely weak, and Black Zetsu immediately took control of his body!
The jutsu continued!!
"Rinne Tensei Technique!!"
As the voice fell, white steam appeared on Edo Tensei Madara's body not far away!
Immediately, the cracks on his Edo Tensei body disappeared!
"That's more like it! This is the feeling of flesh and blood! ୧⍢⃝୨"
Madara clenched his fist, satisfied.
"Now that I'm alive again, it doesn't matter whether the Edo Tensei body has eyes…"
"I can take back my own Rinnegan!"
Just as Madara finished speaking, a White Zetsu emerged from underground, holding the right Rinnegan eye!
"Madara-sama, long awaited! •ᴗ•"
