"Your statement is too..." Mei Terumi hesitated, then stopped herself from speaking.
"Are humans really capable of doing these things?"
"Sealing a single tailed beast within one's body already requires extremely high talent."
"What's more, sealing all nine tailed beasts inside one body at once... or even stronger?"
"And the moon...this is beyond my comprehension."
"That's beyond my comprehension," Kurotsuchi immediately chimed in.
["Hehe~"]
"The Sage of Six Paths, he's a sage!"
"Naturally, it surpasses that of ordinary people."
Obito Uchiha shook his head.
Then he smiled and looked at everyone.
Mifune reacted immediately.
["so."]
"Your purpose is obvious."
"Is the intention to collect the nine portions of chakra and revive the Ten-Tails?"
"To complete your Eye of the Moon Project?"
[Upon hearing this,]
Everyone finally realized what was happening.
Onoki gasped.
"Indeed, this style of doing things...is more like the man I remember."
"However, that's impossible."
Onoki shook his head.
"Who knows?" Obito Uchiha said with a half-smile.
"In short."
"Now, we can be enemies, that's true."
"But caught between us is a common enemy."
"I could have waited until you were both severely weakened before making my move."
"However... I think that a lose-lose situation is not something you two are suited for."
"Damn it, what did you say?!" The Fourth Raikage instantly erupted in fury.
Mei Terumi frowned deeply.
"The God of Shinobi, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju?"
"The perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki...the ruler of the Land of Whirlpools..."
"Our three great nations and three great ninja villages joining forces, are they not even worthy of a mutually destructive battle?"
Obito Uchiha chuckled.
["good."]
"It's also very likely that this will cause the death of your village's Jinchūriki."
"By then, if I want to collect the Tailed Beasts again, I'll have to wait for their unpredictable resurrection times."
[These words were spoken.]
The atmosphere inside the meeting room became tense.
The Fourth Raikage also suddenly calmed down considerably.
[At least. ]
The guy in front of me, wearing a mask and calling himself Uchiha Madara, was actually quite honest.
And they did not come with hostility.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The Land of Whirlpools declares war on the entire ninja world.
That is the enemy of the entire ninja world.
Madara Uchiha might also have this idea for the sake of the tailed beasts.
But at least not yet.
The most urgent task now is to join forces and eliminate our common enemy.
[This is perfectly reasonable.]
In an instant, the three Kage basically accepted Madara Uchiha's intentions.
There's no reason to refuse.
Even if Madara Uchiha doesn't recover.
Moreover, the power they control is immeasurable.
However, the Akatsuki organization alone is enough.
[To be a shadow.]
Even the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, who had only recently taken office, knew quite a bit about the Akatsuki organization.
At least, most of the member lists and intelligence are available.
[All members are S-rank rogue ninja.]
Adding to what Madara Uchiha mentioned earlier about the Rinnegan... then the Akatsuki's fighting strength is truly extraordinary.
[The legendary Sage's Eye - Rinnegan.]
The owner is at least a Kage-level expert.
How can this be underestimated?
Onoki: "If things develop this way, we would definitely agree."
Onoki: "Even though I know that Obito Uchiha's motives are impure."
Onoki: "But putting ourselves in the black-framed world is indeed a good choice to face the enemy together first."
Onoki: "Besides... just watch, neither Madara Uchiha nor we will directly mention the Allied Forces."
No sooner had Onoki finished speaking than...
He immediately provided the answer on the large screen with its black border.
["but."]
"We don't trust you."
["Heh heh~" Obito Uchiha glanced around.]
"Perfect, I don't trust you either."
"Fight your own battles. We won't attack you, and you shouldn't even think about attacking us."
"Sharing intelligence and providing convenience."
"I believe you possess some intelligence about the Akatsuki organization."
"More importantly, we need your cooperation."
"Don't complain, it's true."
Onoki fell silent.
The Fourth Raikage exhaled heavily.
[It seems they still agree with the assessment of Obito Uchiha.]
At this point, Mifune asked another crucial question.
"Since you've said it, it means you must know a way to restore the nine tailed beasts to the ten-tailed form."
"You want to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, like the Sage of Six Paths, right?"
"So, what do you want to do after you obtain that power?"
Obito Uchiha glanced at him again.
[This is what has allowed the Land of Iron to remain neutral for so many years.]
Mifune, the leader of the Land of Iron, is quite capable.
"To revive the Ten-Tails, become its jinchūriki, and become the second Sage of Six Paths."
"Use that power to enhance your eye abilities."
"Then, he activated some kind of ninjutsu."
"What kind of ninjutsu?" Kurotsuchi couldn't help but ask.
"Simply put, it's a large-scale illusion that projects my eyes onto the moon."
"This is the so-called Eye of the Moon Project—Infinite Tsukuyomi."
"Cast an illusion on everyone existing on Earth."
"And then I'll take control of everything."
"Let the world become one."
"To achieve true peace."
"A world without barriers, without disputes."
[The words had barely left his mouth.]
The Fourth Raikage immediately shouted, "What a joke?!"
"I won't entrust the world to someone like you!"
"What's wrong with a world of illusions?" Obito Uchiha replied calmly.
"The illusionary world... is nothing but a lie."
"What's the point of living there?"
Mei Terumi also disagreed.
Perfection is too unrealistic; minor flaws are more acceptable.
"Is this your ultimate goal?"
"Madara."
"Unify the world... no, it's more accurate to say, create a world that belongs only to you."
"Then...everyone will die within this illusion."
"Humanity will not continue to exist on this surface."
["Hmph hmph hmph~" Obito Uchiha let out a contemptuous laugh.]
[It seems to be mocking the foolishness of these people.]
"So, what contributions have you made?"
"Actually, you should have understood this long ago."
"Well, never mind, there's no point in saying more."
"This is not a problem we should be discussing right now, nor does it need to be considered."
"After we deal with the Land of Whirlpools, it will be your turn."
["snort!"]
"That's exactly what I wanted!"
The Fourth Raikage barely suppressed the urge to attack.
"Since that's the case."
"Then, from this moment on, we will temporarily unite."
"The Land of Whirlpools declared war on the entire ninja world, and since no one objected, we accepted."
"The Fourth Shinobi World War begins!"
