Konoha: Prepare to defect, the system is coming.

laugh!
A piercing cry of a thousand birds suddenly rang out, and the gray-white alternate dimension was suddenly torn apart by a beam of eerie blue light.

As Obito gazed at the high-intensity electric current formed by chakra, his pupils contracted slightly, and the nightmarish scene from the past resurfaced before his eyes.

Blue arcs of electricity leaping in young Kakashi's hands;

Blood droplets splattered when Rin was pierced by the Thousand Birds;
And my own hand, which reached out halfway but ultimately failed to grasp anyone.

"Chidori, it's the same technique!" he murmured, his vision gradually blurring until the moment Chidori pierced his chest, at which point Obito suddenly regained consciousness.

Ignoring the arm that pierced through his chest, Obito Uchiha raised his eyes and looked at Kakashi in front of him.

The once lazy guy now had such a stern and resolute expression, just like when he killed Lin.

"Kakashi."

Obito's voice suddenly became very soft, "When Rin died, it must have been very painful, the pain of being burned by electricity and being killed by the person you trusted most."

"Ok?"

Kakashi suddenly frowned.

He noticed that Obito seemed completely unaffected, staring intently at him without even a change in tone of voice, causing his previously relieved heart to race again.

"There is nothing wrong with Lin's approach of sacrificing the minority to save the majority."

Obito silently looked at the hand that pierced through his chest and muttered to himself, "There's nothing wrong with what you did. These are the rules that the teachers taught us since the Ninja Academy, the rules of the Ninja Village."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi fell silent.

The other party is right. This is the rule of the ninja village, and it is also the rule that every ninja village resident agrees on.

“Rin was freed from pain and from this rule at the moment of her death.” Obito slowly closed his eyes, his voice low and hoarse, “But we who survived must bear this pain forever.”

"Kakashi, this world has gone mad. It went mad even before Rin died."

"Join me, and we will create a world with Rin, a world without war, without the rules of ninja villages, and without sacrificing the minority to save the majority."

"A world of illusion?"

Kakashi slowly withdrew his arm from Obito's chest, the light of the Lightning Blade gradually fading. He shook his head and said, "The Tsukuyomi world is fake; everything in it exists only in your imagination."

"The false world constructed from chakra and genjutsu is closer to the real world than some combinations of blood and flesh." Obito slowly opened his eyes, staring intently at Kakashi, and continued.

“Living in an illusion isn’t scary. Even though everything there, including Lin, is just our imagination, we’re just cells, aren’t we?”

"Living in an illusion?" Kakashi murmured to himself, while imagining the scene Obito described.

There was her father, her teacher, and Lin.
There is no war there, only beauty.
Everything I wanted was there, like a dream come true.
but.
"Obito."

Kakashi stared directly at the other's ferocious face, his voice low but undeniably firm, "You say we're just a cell? What about Rin's sacrifice, Minato-sensei's trust, and our bond?"

He reached out and pressed his left eye, feeling the immense power of the Sharingan, and continued, "The world of blood and flesh is certainly cruel. But it is precisely because it is painful and can result in loss that every embrace is precious."

"And this eye has witnessed too much death. That's why I understand even more clearly that living in a dream woven by others is the greatest betrayal of the deceased."

As soon as he finished speaking, Obito's expression turned cold.

He looked directly into Kakashi's eyes and said, word by word, "In a world where even 'heroes' can betray, what does betraying the dead matter?"

laugh!
The piercing screeching of a thousand birds suddenly rang out again.

"Betraying the deceased is nothing?"

Kakashi ripped off the Allied Forces' headbands, his bloodshot eyes reflecting the image of young Obito Uchiha. "Obito, what you exemplified with your actions, what Rin protected with her life, what Minato-sensei passed on with his death."

"It has never been a perfect world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kakashi vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of Obito.

A dazzling burst of lightning exploded between the two, clearly illuminating their faces, which had lost their childishness.

"Obito."

Kakashi suddenly smiled and said in a low voice, "I still prefer the you who said back then that someone who didn't cherish their comrades was even worse than trash."

Obito Uchiha's pupils contracted slightly as the hand wrapped in high-intensity electricity rapidly enlarged in his field of vision.

snort~
The piercing chirping of birds echoed throughout the space.

A violent current of electricity intertwined in the void, forming a cage that instantly engulfed the two of them.

at the same time.

outside world.

Tobirama Senju crossed his arms and cautiously observed his surroundings.

He was originally trying to delay Obito Uchiha and also trying to see if he could kill him directly.

Can bear fruit.
"That Uchiha brat"

Tobirama Senju surveyed the entire battlefield, frowning as he said, "According to the Allied Forces' intelligence, the Uchiha brat's Kamui lasts for about five minutes. Did he escape?"

boom! !

A tremendous roar echoed across the battlefield.

Tobirama looked in the direction of the sound and saw his elder brother manipulating a wooden doll, constantly swatting away the Ten-Tails clones blocking his way. Wherever it passed, countless trees formed a forest, keeping the remaining clones outside. "Too easy."

Tobirama Senju narrowed his eyes, subconsciously glancing at Madara Uchiha in the distance. "Does he just let his older brother seal the Ten-Tails? Or is he confident that his older brother can't seal the Ten-Tails at all?"

The low murmurs were quickly drowned out by the roar of the wooden figures running.

Hashirama had already charged in front of the Ten-Tails' main body. The character "座" (seat) instantly appeared on his right palm, and he pressed it down directly, shouting, "Kouan Ruyan Chui Shou!"

The wooden giant hand, wrapped around the "seat" seal, pressed down heavily on the head of the ten-tailed beast like a mountain.

Roar!
The Ten-Tails let out a heart-wrenching roar, its ten tails lashing the ground wildly, the shockwaves sending nearby ninjas flying.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on? It feels like the Ten-Tails has suddenly gone berserk."

"I just saw Lord Hashirama slap the Ten-Tails on the head."

According to intelligence reports, Lord Hashirama is capable of sealing tailed beasts.

"Don't joke around, I don't feel any sign that the Ten-Tails has been sealed at all."

As the Ten-Tails' struggle grew louder, the ninjas who were rushing towards it instinctively stopped and nervously looked in the direction where the smoke and dust were rising.

The Ten-Tails' struggle was so loud that it didn't look like it was sealed at all.

"Ok?"

Hashirama, who was performing the sealing technique, had his brows furrowed at this moment.

He discovered.
Ordinary sealing techniques are no match for the Ten-Tails.

The reason why the Ten-Tails struggled so fiercely was simply because it was hurt by that slap.

"This is troublesome." Hashirama took a deep breath, manipulating the wooden doll to retreat quickly, while also thinking about what kind of sealing technique he could use to completely seal the Ten-Tails.

at the same time.

Madara Uchiha stood with his arms crossed in the distance, coldly observing the situation on the battlefield.

When he saw Hashirama Senju suffer a humiliating defeat, he raised the corners of his mouth and let out a disdainful sneer—however, before he could utter a word of mockery, the smile on his face froze instantly.

After leaving the battlefield, Hashirama turned around without hesitation and headed towards him.

"That guy doesn't think he can seal the Ten-Tails if he kills me, does he??" Madara Uchiha frowned, completely baffled by Hashirama Senju's thinking.

"Motor, motor!"

Hashirama's calls grew clearer, and he manipulated the wooden dummy to quickly reach Madara Uchiha, urgently asking, "Do you have a way to seal the Ten-Tails?"

The moment he finished speaking, Madara Uchiha, who was about to make a move, fell silent.

He looked up at Hashirama Senju standing atop the wooden dummy, then pointed to himself, somewhat uncertainly, and asked, "You're asking me how to seal the Ten-Tails?"

Hashirama Senju nodded firmly.

On his way here, he went through all the sealing techniques and realized that they might not be effective against the Ten-Tails at all.

As for Madara Uchiha, who released the Ten-Tails, he must have a way to reseal it.

"Sigh~"

Looking at Hashirama's innocent appearance, Madara couldn't help but gasp, then sneered, "Hashirama, do I look like an idiot to you? The kind of complete idiot like you?"

"I've been planning this for decades, and I finally managed to release the Ten-Tails. And you're asking me if there's a way to seal it back?"

Even if it exists, why should I tell you?

Upon hearing this, Hashirama immediately lowered his head, his face full of disappointment, and said, "So you don't have a way to seal the Ten-Tails either."

"I don't have any either, and even if I did, I wouldn't give them to you." Madara Uchiha waved his hand impatiently.

Hashirama Senju jumped down from the wooden dummy, looked at the Ten-Tails which was gradually calming down, and said dejectedly, "Damn it, is there really no way to seal the Ten-Tails?"

Madara Uchiha looked at Hashirama with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, and shook his head, saying, "Yes, but I won't tell you."

"Really? What method is it?" Hashirama Senju's eyes lit up as he anxiously inquired.

Seeing Hashirama's anxious expression, Madara Uchiha crossed his arms and sneered, "If the Sage of Six Paths could seal the Ten-Tails once, he can seal it a second time. Go and resurrect him with Edo Tensei and ask him."

Hashirama was taken aback upon hearing this.

Then, he slammed his right fist into his left palm, suddenly realizing, "You're right. Since the Sage of Six Paths could seal the Ten-Tails, he must have a way to seal it. We just need to find the Sage of Six Paths."

"Idiot!" Madara Uchiha's lips twitched; he had absolutely no desire to talk to this fool.

Return the Six Paths Immortal.
If he could truly resurrect the Sage of Six Paths through Impure World Reincarnation, why would he bother with all this effort and the Infinite Tsukuyomi? He could just go straight to the point.
Uchiha Madara:? ? ?
Hashirama Senju: ? ? ?
The two suddenly looked up and around. The familiar battlefield scene twisted and changed in an instant, replaced by a strange and bizarre space.

They blinked instinctively, and after confirming that what they were seeing was not an illusion, they turned to stare at each other and questioned, "Hashi Lama (Madara), what kind of illusion is this?"

The air froze for a moment after he finished speaking.

Madara narrowed his Sharingan, surveying his surroundings while taunting, "Hmph, I thought this kind of low-level genjutsu was something you devised to use against me."

Hashirama scratched his head, looking bewildered: "No... I thought it was you who did it."

The two stared at each other in silence, then simultaneously realized
Something seems amiss. (End of Chapter)
