"You'll definitely come back. At that time, I'll accept your true gratitude."
Hearing Madara's words, Aoha felt even more helpless. Madara was practically pointing his finger at Obito's forehead, saying, "This whole thing was orchestrated by me. Believe it or not!"
Aoha admitted he had some advantage from foreknowledge, which was why he could see through it so clearly.
But the plan Madara designed, plus all the hints in his words, were truly numerous.
Any normal person, even if they didn't react beforehand, would definitely feel something was off afterwards and become suspicious.
But after turning evil, Obito's brain had completely short-circuited and couldn't function normally.
Sigh!
Obito left wearing White Zetsu's clone, confident and suave!
Meanwhile, Aoha, who couldn't change anything, felt somewhat depressed. He once again felt his own weakness and the helplessness that weakness brought.
The only good news was probably that Madara didn't seem to suspect him because of his loose tongue.
After all, no one could imagine that inside this child's body lived an adult soul from another world.
"I will sever all cause and effect in this world! This is the purpose of my return."
When Obito, emanating killing intent and an ominous aura, returned, stepping on bloody footprints and said these words, the corners of Madara's drooping mouth suddenly curved upward.
Standing beside Madara, Aoha sighed again inwardly after seeing Obito's cold eyes, which had evolved directly from two tomoe to the Mangekyo Sharingan.
This tragedy had been performed as scheduled after all.
Madara's plan succeeded. He successfully made Obito witness Rin's death, witness Kakashi personally kill Rin, and witness the cruellest, most despairing hellish scene in the world.
This not only successfully caused Obito to evolve the Mangekyo Sharingan, but also completely brought him aboard Madara's ship, destined to sink.
And he could still do nothing, only watch helplessly.
"Nobody else saw, right?" A satisfied smile appeared on Madara's aged face.
"Only I saw. Obito killed all the enemies and even independently comprehended Wood Release: Cutting Technique, so no problem. But he seemed unwilling to attack Kakashi. However, Kakashi didn't see anything. When Konoha's reinforcements arrived, he was still shouting, 'Who took out the enemies?'" White Zetsu explained with a strange smile on his face.
"Can't bear to attack a former companion?"
"No, I simply don't care. Whether that guy is still alive in this world or not, I don't care. Because in the world I'm about to create, there's Kakashi, and there's Rin. Tell me how to create the world of dreams, Madara!"
"No need to thank me. Come here. From today on, you're the saviour. Look into my eyes."
In an instant, both Madara and Obito froze motionless.
However, Aoha, who had seen this plot, knew this was Madara pulling Obito's consciousness into his genjutsu space. There, Madara would completely entrust that so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan to Obito, opening a new chapter.
After Madara finished explaining everything to Obito, both their bodies shook simultaneously, breaking free from the genjutsu space.
"Obito, I've left you all the Uchiha forbidden techniques, Six Paths techniques, and Yin-Yang Release techniques."
"Additionally, I've injected my will into this fellow's body. You can consider half of it as me. It's also a degraded product. You can use these things created with Yin-Yang Release as your chess pieces. That black stick is the embodiment of my consciousness; you can use it when employing Six Paths techniques."
"Finally, this brat. You can kill him or keep him as a chess piece. Whatever you like."
Madara's cold, indifferent glance instantly made the prepared Aoha feel like he'd fallen into an ice cellar.
As expected!
From the very beginning, no one cared whether he lived or died!
As for Obito...
The current evil Obito didn't even spare him a glance, merely grunting and saying he understood.
After finishing all his final arrangements, Madara walked forward two steps, and the 'tubes' behind him instantly tightened!
However, this time Madara continued forward, forcefully tearing at them!
Now's the time, the opportunity won't come again.
Damn it, I'm going all in!
Aoha, who'd been waiting for this day, immediately bent down to grab a tube from the ground, then pulled backwards with all his might!
Originally, he'd always thought this was a certain-death mission, until, while recalling the plot, he suddenly remembered that after transmitting his will to Obito, Madara proactively chose to pull out the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's tubes to commit suicide!
And this was obviously the key to completing his mission and breaking the deadlock!
Anyway, Madara wanted death at this point and had a high probability of ignoring his small action.
As for whether he'd succeed and whether the system would acknowledge it, that wasn't something he could control. Do what humans can and leave the rest to fate. See if his life was meant to continue!
This was also the only way he could think of to complete the mission.
Madara, forcefully breaking free from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, truly didn't seem to notice this small detail. With a snap, the several tubes connected to his back instantly broke!
Meanwhile, Aoha, who'd also been pulling from behind, landed on his bottom with a thud.
Excellent!
First, the tubes broke, and White Zetsu, Black Zetsu, and Obito all noticed him but didn't bother with him, placing their attention on the dying Madara instead!
Successfully fished in troubled waters!
Next, the only worry was whether the system would acknowledge this clever way of completing the mission.
Ignoring Aoha's secret scheming, Obito's remaining Mangekyo Sharingan widened enormously!
Stumbling back to his seat, Madara struggled to breathe while fighting to speak his final words.
"Alright, go. During this period before I'm resurrected, you are Uchiha Madara!"
After finishing the last word, Madara expired.
Everything he left behind would be inherited entirely by Obito, while Aoha, who'd hoped to cling to a powerful protector, not only gained not a hair's worth of benefits but faced Obito's final judgment.
Life or death hinged on a single thought.
If it were the former Obito, Aoha wouldn't worry at all about being in danger.
But this evil Obito, who seemed like a completely different person, was terrifyingly abnormal. Who knew if he'd get implicated and casually crushed to death?
"What do you plan to do with this brat?" Black Zetsu asked casually.
"I haven't decided yet. Let's deal with Madara's remains first." Obito walked to Madara's corpse and reached out, directly removing the Sharingan Madara had transplanted later.
"Since Madara chose you in the end, this brat has no more reason to exist. Besides, he knows too much."
"Now I am Uchiha Madara. You don't need to teach me what to do. If you want to die, I can send you off first."
With one glare, Black Zetsu immediately shut his mouth.
