[Bang--]
The white smoke dissipated.
[Obito Uchiha collapsed to the ground.]
It has reached its limit.
He was breathing heavily.
[If I hadn't escaped just now, I would have really died.]
In fact.
Without the Kamui of the Mangekyou Sharingan, its combat power is not high.
It's that simple.
[A large-scale attack within an enclosed space on the other side.]
This is pure torture.
It wasn't just Obito Uchiha who was failing.
[White Zetsu Tobi also suffered severe injuries.]
It's no longer sustainable.
[It detached directly from Obito Uchiha's body.]
[Lying on the ground.]
[Looking half-dead.]
Obito Uchiha glanced at it.
"Tobi, go replenish your chakra."
"Black Zetsu."
"Have the White Zetsu transplant a portion of my body into me."
[The words fell.]
There was no response from the familiar voice.
Obito Uchiha narrowed his eyes slightly.
[Turn your head to look.]
[And then, in the darkness.]
A figure was silently watching it.
[Very unfamiliar.]
Obito Uchiha remained silent.
However, my heart is filled with resentment.
It is now completely powerless to resist.
Perhaps, Kamui can still use Intangibility once or twice more.
But after it's used up, it means death.
["Hehehe~"]
"I never imagined that the legendary Madara Uchiha would be in such a sorry state."
A figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
[Obito Uchiha's eyes also adapted to the darkness.]
[Looking sideways.]
Obito Uchiha froze on the spot.
[The speaker's identity.]
[Obito Uchiha had already guessed it.]
"Someone told me to come here to find you, saying you would appear here."
"If I remember correctly."
"This is below the main location of the Battle of Kannabi Bridge."
"There were many legends surrounding this place back then."
"As it happens, they are members of Team 7, the team of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze."
"Obito Uchiha died here."
"Your mask only shows your right eye."
"Kakashi Hatake also only showed one eye."
"Right eye."
"But not because he only has one eye, but because his left eye is the Sharingan he transplanted from Obito Uchiha."
"Have you said enough?" Obito Uchiha replied coldly.
Kabuto adjusted his glasses and chuckled softly.
"Yes, it seems you need treatment."
"But the person who called me here...?"
"He doesn't seem to be here. Do you need my help?"
"I learned a lot from Lord Orochimaru."
"Similarly, I am also an excellent medical ninja."
"White Zetsu's body is indeed very special. Even if someone without medical ninjutsu helps you with the transplant, there's a high chance it will be successful."
"But it's extremely time-consuming."
"If I were to perform the surgery myself, I could probably restore you to full health in two days at most."
With that, Kabuto Yakushi walked towards Obito Uchiha.
[Obito Uchiha wanted to make him stop.]
But for now, it seems to have no ability to resist.
"Let's cooperate."
"I need to find meaning in my existence."
["in addition."]
["hehe..."]
Kabuto didn't say anything more.
Instead, he picked up Obito Uchiha, who was lying paralyzed on the ground, unable to move.
"Well then, Lord Madara, it's time for treatment."
Obito Uchiha did not resist.
[And they no longer have the ability to resist.]
It just stared fixedly at Kabuto.
[From the darkness, Black Zetsu witnessed the entire event.]
Then, his gaze fell on another figure.
Throughout the entire ordeal, the figure remained completely still.
Moreover, he was actually standing inside a coffin.
[Standing quietly.]
[Head bowed, not even breathing.]
This figure was clad in old-fashioned red Warring States period armor.
[Long hair cascading down her shoulders.]
This attire did not make him appear feminine; on the contrary, it exuded a sense of aggression.
[Dull skin, covered with cracks.]
[Clearly, it's a body resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique.]
This person's identity is becoming increasingly obvious.
[Uchiha Madara!]
[Obito Uchiha closes his eyes.]
Kabuto glanced at him.
Whether it was Madara Uchiha or not was irrelevant to him.
The important thing is that we can use it now.
The value of a dead fake Uchiha Madara is not as high as that of a living fake Uchiha Madara.
[actually. ]
Obito Uchiha was also puzzled.
[It involved sending Black Zetsu to contact Kabuto Yakushi, who had mastered the Impure World Reincarnation technique and possessed considerable 'resources'.]
But unexpectedly...
[It's so fast!]
Or perhaps, Kabuto himself was searching for them.
[Obito Uchiha begins his recap.]
I'm glad I had a backup plan.
The ninja world has changed drastically.
Even though it's a fake world.
But it cannot die until it can save this false world.
Therefore, they left themselves a backup plan.
[Space-Time Ninjutsu: Summoning Jutsu.]
[However, it's a reverse summoning technique.]
[When Kamui cannot be used.]
This is indeed a very good way to escape.
[but. ]
This trip out truly dealt it a heavy blow.
[If it weren't for the fact that Tobi, the White Zetsu, had a few Sharingan eyes on hand.]
[Used to activate Izanagi.]
It's probably already dead.
[at this time. ]
[It slowly emerged from the ground.]
Black Zetsu and White Zetsu separated.
The White Zetsu in its true form picked up Tobi and carried him deeper into the underground base.
That's where the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is located.
Only the Gedo Mazo can cure Tobi, the White Zetsu.
Fortunately, they had previously captured a fake Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and obtained a considerable amount of Nine-Tails chakra.
[Sufficient for a period of time.]
["alright."]
"Let's begin the treatment."
As he spoke, Kabuto Yakushi reached out to remove Obito Uchiha's orange vortex mask.
*Snap*
[Obito Uchiha raised his hand and grabbed Kabuto Yakushi's hand.]
Kabuto smiled.
"Don't you need it?"
"You've lost half your body, and you've still managed to hold on until now, with all the strength left."
"Let's take a look."
[Upon hearing this.]
Obito Uchiha finally let go.
The Kabuto before it was not what it had imagined.
However, taking their lives now is merely a matter of a thought.
It's no longer necessary.
Anyway, there's no need to hide my identity anymore.
[Thinking.]
Obito Uchiha closed his eyes, allowing Kabuto Yakushi to remove his orange vortex mask.
Perhaps they have some means to employ.
But none of that matters anymore.
This time.
It was seriously injured.
[It's precisely because it's incomplete.]
[The other eye... Kakashi... It seems we'll be meeting again soon.]
I will not leave a single weakness behind.
[The Rinnegan... will be retrieved as soon as it recovers.]
At that time—this illusory world will begin its countdown.
