Chapter 322 The plan begins
That was the last thing I heard Sasuke say, he looked at me, his eyes widened slightly, and I looked down, only to see my body disappearing from my fingertips.
"Morning dew——!"
Sasuke seemed to want to say something to me, and I saw the ink bird that Naruto was riding flying towards me quickly, but a dazzling white light appeared in front of my eyes, just like before I came to this world.
……
"It really took a long time."
A familiar voice that I haven't heard for a long time, slightly hoarse, sounded in my ears.
I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, I saw Uchiha Madara.
...I'm still used to calling him Uchiha Madara.
——He was not standing in front of us, but was at a distance from us. I felt that he seemed to be on guard against our attack on him.
My first reaction was to locate Neji and Gaara, and I was immediately relieved to see them both next to me.
Neji and I looked at each other, and I glanced lightly in the direction of Uchiha Madara. He lowered his eyes calmly.
"Where did you go?" I spoke naturally, following the tone I used when I was with Uchiha Madara. "I didn't like the future of that world very much. As a result, because we couldn't find you, we were caught by Konoha and had to help them save the world... Can we do it again in a different world?"
Uchiha Madara said: "...The world you are heading to is created according to your wishes. Why don't you like it?"
"I wanted a world where Naruto and Sasuke survived safely...but who knew the moon would actually fall."
"..."
"Besides, why didn't you tell us in advance that we would appear directly at the original location of the other world... We appeared directly outside the house of Fengying! In the end, we were the only ones caught. It's too much for you to run away alone, isn't it?"
"It's my first time using this jutsu too..." Uchiha Madara answered with a tentative tone. I could sense that he wanted to know how much I knew. "But I didn't expect that the Kazekage of that world was actually Gaara... He was obviously a Jinchūriki..."
"What happened to the Jinchūriki?"
"No, nothing." Uchiha Madara said: "But I didn't expect that the timeline of that world would be so long later."
"Yeah, speaking of timelines... I was a little curious about whether your plan was successful, so I asked Naruto from that world."
The atmosphere around Uchiha Madara suddenly became tense, and most of his attention was focused on me. Neji suddenly used the gravitational force of the Samsara Eye to attract him towards us, and Uchiha Madara immediately wanted to hollow out and escape into the Kamui space -
But I already knew that when he became virtual, his body was simply transferred to a different space, and my eyes were connected to his different space.
I used Kamui to transfer Neci to a different dimension. Neci was inside and I was outside, blocking him from both ends.
Uchiha Madara never escaped again. I waited for a moment and transferred Neci out of the Kamui space. He dragged Uchiha Madara who had lost consciousness.
"I stripped him of all his chakra."
Neji's eyes are no longer the flawless Byakugan, but the ice-blue Samsara eyes.
The theories he learned from Toneri on the moon, and the power he had mastered despite the "fetal movement" of the Samsara Eye, exerted great power at this moment.
"Make sure he remains unconscious." I said, "We must ensure that he is always within our sight. Otherwise, once he wakes up, he can use his divine power to escape."
Neji nodded, "Understood."
"Then read his memories, Neji."
"about……?"
"First, find the content about this jutsu. Then extract the memory of how he lost an eye, how he was saved by the real Uchiha Madara, and how he became Uchiha Madara."
This was also the first time that Neji put this into practice, so he said, "I'll try."
"Gaara," I looked at my other companion, "Please spread the sand as wide as possible... to prevent Black Zetsu from lurking nearby to collect information."
Gaara nodded to show that he understood.
The sand dispersed like mist and fell like rain. Gaara said, "Since he is wary of the possibility that we might obtain information about him, he shouldn't have appeared directly in front of us... He is so confident."
"……yes."
Uchiha Madara could have completely avoided appearing.
When he released his ninjutsu, he didn't appear in front of us at all. It should be that as long as we entered a certain range, he could take us out.
If he brings us out and then immediately disappears, even if Neji has the Rinnegan and I have the Kamui Space, we may not be able to catch him.
…but he still showed up.
Is it because of me...? Want to confirm my attitude?
Is it a bit too self-righteous to think like this?
Even if I was a little different to him, it was only because of Lin.
He probably doesn't know that Neji and I went to the moon, and what happened on the moon - Neji, who has the Samsara Eye and I, who am about to open the Rinnegan, are no longer as strong as before.
Underestimating the enemy, being careless and relying on luck will result in this.
...You really aren't very smart, Obito.
"Success."
Neji quickly extracted several bubble-like light balls from his brain. This time he didn't have to be there in person. Just standing outside, he could see different fragments changing on the surface of the light balls like watching a movie.
Although I knew the general situation from Naruto's memory, the specific details were not as clear as the person involved's own memory. What's more, I could also compare them one by one to see if there were any discrepancies in the facts stated by both sides.
When Neji and Gaara saw Rin's face appear in the memory bubble, they both looked at me in surprise.
Neji whispered, "So... he's not Uchiha Madara, but... Uchiha Obito?"
Gaara said: "Asaro, that Nohara Rin..."
Although I have been traveling with them for such a long time, I have never told them clearly about my background. It’s not that I have been deliberately hiding it... I just haven’t found a good opportunity.
"I was created using the genes of Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin." I said, "In a biological sense, they are my parents."
Neji and Gaara looked at me in silence for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"I'll tell you the details all at once later, okay?"
Neji asked, "What should we do next?"
"I already know how important Rin is to Obito... but how important is she to Kakashi?" I stared at Uchiha Madara's mask, and when I squatted down and reached out to lift it, I hesitated. "In Naruto's memory... Kakashi himself said that he also felt that this world was like hell. He even felt that everything Obito did was 'indeed a way, maybe it was not wrong'... Since he said that the reason for Obito's failure was that there were too few people willing to help him... then I will try to convince him."
Gaara said, "Going to Konoha?"
I finally hardened my heart and pulled off Uchiha Madara's mask - Obito's face, the same face that Naruto remembered, appeared in front of me without a doubt.
"…Yes, let's go to Konoha. Kakashi and Naruto are both my targets. But Gaara, Neji and I will go, I have another thing to trouble you with."
"what?"
I reached out and touched Obito's face.
In Naruto's memory, his figure was ultimately illusory, but now, it is real.
He really existed in front of me. Although he had lost consciousness, he had a heartbeat, was breathing, and his body temperature was emitting warmth.
His lips were rough from stubble and a little dry - ha, maybe it was because he wasn't sure whether the situation was still under control, so he couldn't help feeling anxious?
My fingertips moved his eyelashes from bottom to top, then stroked his thick eyebrows and pressed between his brows.
When this person lost consciousness with his eyes closed, he seemed to be frowning unconsciously.
I smoothed his brows, and finally used the palm of my hand to feel the scars on the other half of his face.
Those scars were like ravines, spreading out ruggedly under my palms.
And half of the genes that make up him also make up me.
"Please go find Deidara. We let the Sand Village take Sasori away before. Now, although it's a bit unfair to Temari and Kankuro to do this, we have to keep Sasori in our own hands."
"…Are we going to attack Sunagakure?"
"No, try not to fight. So Gaara, I'll leave it to you to take Sasori away and contact Deidara. Is that okay?"
"I understand."
