Looking at Uchiha Jin before him, Obito's gaze became very complex.
Indeed!
He never expected that the little nobody from his class back then would not only survive the meat grinder of the Third Great Ninja War but would also grow to such heights today.
Not only had he successfully risen to become the Uchiha Clan Leader, but even under the Village's hostility, he had successfully become the Hokage of the Village!
One must know... that was once his own goal!
However...
Why wasn't the one living Rin?
At the thought of Rin Nohara, Obito's complex gaze instantly filled with surging killing intent.
Yes.
His specialty was shifting blame!
Back then, because Minato Namikaze was tied up with a mission and couldn't save Rin Nohara, Obito took it out on the couple, Minato and Kushina. In the end, he didn't even hesitate to directly kill the teacher and master's wife who had been so good to him... Now, it was no different.
Seeing that a former nobody could survive the Third Great Ninja War and even rise to such a high position, while Rin, who was clearly more outstanding than Uchiha Jin, died directly in the war?
It's unfair!
For this very reason, he immediately began to resent the Uchiha Jin before him!
"Junior, I..."
Obito spoke in a raspy voice, immediately preparing to act tough.
But, unfortunately.
Before Obito could finish, Uchiha Jin interrupted him: "Obito, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"What?" Obito was dumbfounded.
His face looked terrible, and his mind went completely blank.
Clearly.
He never imagined that Uchiha Jin would see right through him.
On what basis?
How did he know his identity?
Fortunately, he was wearing a mask right now, concealing the shock on his face; otherwise, he would have definitely shown weakness.
However.
He still recovered and convinced himself that Uchiha Jin was just guessing.
What a joke!
How could Uchiha Jin possibly know his hidden true identity?
Yes, he must have just guessed right!
Thinking this, Obito continued to speak hoarsely: "Junior, you have the wrong person. I am Uchiha Madara!"
"Obito, you're too stupid!" Uchiha Jin shrugged. "Your act isn't convincing at all!"
"You are someone who has personally seen Uchiha Madara. A person as extremely proud as Madara—even if he was incredibly old when you met him—you should have seen his kind of overbearing arrogance and pride with your own eyes."
"Do you think that in your current state, you are qualified to pose as Uchiha Madara?"
"So, save it!"
"A dead last like you, even if you've awakened the Mangekyo, is still just a fool!"
"However, I am quite curious!"
"Logically speaking, when I first rose to power, you should have chosen to intervene and stop me."
"After all, for your Eye of the Moon Plan, you must restrict the major Ninja Villages and suppress their strength as much as possible."
"When I first joined the Radical Faction and hadn't yet unified the Uchiha, you should have shown yourself."
"That was the best opportunity!"
"But you just didn't show up. Even when the various Ninja Clans flocked to join me, you still had no intention of appearing."
"When I established New Konoha, you still didn't show up."
"Now that the Hyuga Clan has joined and I completely rule all of Konoha, you show up now."
"Don't you think you've already missed your chance?"
"Now Konoha is a monolithic block in my hands. What makes you think you can stir up internal strife? What makes you think you can weaken Konoha's strength?"
"As expected..."
"A dead last is a dead last. Even if you awaken the Mangekyo, it still can't change your underlying stupidity."
"I also really don't understand. Uchiha Madara was proud his whole life; how did he choose such a piece of trash as his successor?"
Uchiha Jin's tone was ice-cold.
He stood with his arms crossed, his eyes filled with disdain.
Indeed!
He had already awakened the Eternal Mangekyō. Even if he was still a far cry from the truly powerful, he didn't really take characters like Obito, Nagato, or the Akatsuki Organization too seriously.
In fact, he had already calculated in his heart how to use the Akatsuki Organization to achieve his own goals.
Therefore.
At this moment, he naturally disdained acting with Obito and directly tore off his mask.
On the other side.
Obito's face grew increasingly terrified, and the hair on his body stood on end.
How could this be... He really couldn't understand how Uchiha Jin knew so much.
He subconsciously took two steps back, no longer able to maintain his 'Uchiha Madara' persona.
"Why?"
"Who exactly are you? Why do you know my identity?"
"U! CHI! HA! JIN!"
"You..."
Obito could no longer hold it in and immediately began to question him.
Of course.
Because his heart was too shocked, he was actually a bit incoherent for a moment.
To this.
Uchiha Jin gave a cold snort, his eyes full of disdain.
"Obito, you're kidding, right?"
"You don't really think I was just a piece of trash back then, and then only became a genius after my parents were captured by Root and I awakened the Mangekyo, do you?"
"If you think that, it only proves your stupidity even more!"
"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. If I had exposed my strength during the Ninja Academy days, even Kakashi wouldn't have been my match!"
"And, please note!"
"I'm saying that without using the Sharingan, Kakashi was no match for me."
"Actually, I awakened the Sharingan at the age of eight. It's just that unlike a piece of trash like you, I had already sensed the strange atmosphere between the Uchiha and the Village when I was very young. So, for the sake of survival, I deliberately pretended to be a nobody."
"I knew from a very young age that geniuses tend to die young, and trash is easily used as cannon fodder. Only a nobody is the safest!"
"But, unfortunately."
"We encountered the Third Great Ninja War. On the battlefield, my strength could not be hidden, so all the teammates who saw me take action are dead!"
"Do you remember?"
"When we were at the Ninja Academy, Rin Nohara always wanted to play with me, but I basically rejected her every time. It was because I knew you had already been targeted by Uchiha Madara."
"Remember that Old Lady you were always helping on the street? I knew long ago that she was a plant disguised by Uchiha Madara's people."
"I occasionally heard that Old Lady grumbling. I seem to recall that sometimes she called herself White Zetsu, and sometimes she called herself Black Zetsu..."
"Now that you've become Uchiha Madara's successor, you must know these two, so could you introduce them to me?"
"As for—Rin Nohara!"
"That girl really is a pity. It's precisely because you liked her, Obito, that she was destined to become a sacrifice."
"Because unlike a fool like you, I am very clear about how the Mangekyo is awakened."
"The person closest to you dying before your eyes, right?"
"That's also why I didn't get close to Rin Nohara, because I didn't want to stumble into the script Uchiha Madara set for you."
"A piece of trash whose life is manipulated by Uchiha Madara actually dares to appear before my eyes, Uchiha Jin?"
"You are truly—seeking death!"
"Since we've met today, I'll just take the opportunity to avenge Rin Nohara!"
