Konoha: Prepare to defect, the system is coming.

"Roar!"

The roar of the Ten-Tails echoed throughout the battlefield.

Countless Ten-Tails clones suddenly lost their ability to move and allowed the ninjutsu to hit them, while the Ten-Tails, whose movements were restricted not far away, suddenly raised its head and roared at the blood moon.

"Hey, hey, hey, what happened?"

"Is it possible that Hashirama-sama's seal has weakened?"

"Where's Hashirama-sama?"

"I don't know. It disappeared a while ago."

As the roar of the Ten-Tails became more and more shrill, countless ninjas covered their ears and retreated subconsciously.

next moment.

The Ten-Tails, which was originally sealed by the Myojin Gate, suddenly began to bleed from its eyes, and its body twisted and deformed, as if it was forcibly torn apart by a mysterious force, and it let out bursts of shrill roars.

Click!

Click!

A series of teeth-grinding tearing sounds were heard, and everyone discovered in horror that the seal cast by Lord Hashirama began to crack, and with the violent struggle of the Ten-Tails, the cracks became more and more numerous and larger.

boom!
An earth-shattering sound sounded.

Wood chips mixed with blood rain fell from the sky, and the mountain-like body of the Ten-Tails broke free from the sealing wooden stake.

boom!
Looking at the horrifying scene before her, Mei Terumi could not help but collapse on the ground, staring blankly ahead, muttering, "Why is this happening? Is there really no hope for the ninja world?"

Upon hearing this, the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost dragged its scarred body and slammed heavily onto the ground next to Terumi Mei, raising a cloud of dust.

He narrowed his small eyes and slowly looked around the battlefield.
The morale that was boosted by Hashirama Senju collapsed the moment the Ten-Tails broke free from its restraints.

Countless ninjas had despair written all over their faces as they fled madly like a tide. Some of them threw away their ninja tool packages and tore off their protective vests just to reduce some weight and run faster than those around them.

The air was filled with fear, and amidst the screams, one could hear someone shouting hysterically.

"Go home, I just want to go home now."

"It's better to see my family for the last time than to die here."

"Run, the monster is coming."

"."

Hearing the desperate voices of those people, Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost closed his eyes in enjoyment and said to Terumi Mei, "Mizukage-sama, think about it carefully, war is really cruel.

That so-called infinite moon reading doesn't seem to be a bad thing after all."

At this point, he paused and continued, "I heard that Infinite Tsukuyomi is a ninjutsu that brings peace to the ninja world, and that each of us can realize our dreams in it. I don't know if it's true."

Mei Terumi raised her eyes slightly and saw the other person looking at the night sky with longing on his face. She couldn't help but sneer, "Those Uchiha guys may be mentally ill, but they put so much effort into it, they shouldn't lie about this kind of thing."

"So it's not a lie!" The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost lay on the ground, gazing tiredly at the night sky, muttering to himself, "If I win the Infinite Tsukuyomi, I really will have endless money to spend."

Roar! !

The whispers in Mei Terumi's ears were soon drowned out by the Ten-Tails' roar.

She widened her eyes, her pupils shrinking suddenly, and watched the monster's body begin to twist and deform. Its mountainous body seemed to be kneaded by invisible hands, becoming smaller and smaller, and finally merged into Uchiha Obito's body.

The sudden change brought silence to the chaotic battlefield.

Everyone stopped and looked at the white ball in the air that the Ten-Tails had transformed into.

Sensing the terrifying chakra inside the white ball, Mei Terumi's throat suddenly felt dry and tight, cold sweat dripping down her delicate cheeks, "It's over, it's all over!"

Click!Click!
Countless spider-web-like lines suddenly appeared on the surface of the white sphere.

next moment.

Countless fragments fell to the ground like snowflakes.

"What a powerful force!!" Obito lowered his head, staring at the arm that was as pale as a newborn body, feeling the chakra surging in his body like a tsunami.

He slowly clenched his fists, his eyes sweeping over the ninja coalition that was fleeing like ants beneath his feet, and his low, hoarse whispers hammered heavily on everyone's eardrums.

"This war is coming to an end!"

As the words fell, Obito disappeared instantly and appeared directly in front of the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon.

"Damn!"

The pupils of the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost shrank, and his fat body instantly jumped up from the ground. He quickly took out a kunai and pressed it against his chest, staring at the other party with a vigilant look on his face.

at this time.

The scales on Uchiha Obito's body have completely fallen off, revealing his new pale body. The mark of reincarnation appears on his back, several spikes protrude from his shoulders, and several truth-seeking jades float on both sides of his body.

boom!
A suffocating chakra swept across the battlefield, and the air instantly stagnated.

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon, the Fifth Mizukage, and Mei Terumi." Obito silently recited the two names, ignoring their frightened eyes, and suddenly a marquee of life ran in his mind.

The Hidden Mist Village was the direct executor of Lin's death, the concrete target of his hatred, and the first step in his plan to weaken the five major nations.

However, the execution of the plan was not perfect, and the clues were discovered by the Byakugan ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village.

scoff!

Suddenly, several kunai wrapped with explosive tags tore through the air and pierced Obito's eyebrows.

Uchiha Obito had no intention of dodging. The Dao-Seeking Ball behind him flowed like a living thing, instantly transforming into a pitch-black shield wall that blocked his body and kept the detonating tags out.

boom! !

The blast caused the air to blast away the surrounding debris, but it failed to lift even the corners of the clothes covered in dirt.

This scene made the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost's eyelids twitch.

Not long ago, the opponent needed to use the Mangekyō Sharingan to avoid various ninjutsu and detonating tags, but now he can completely isolate the impact of the detonating tags by just manipulating the black sphere.
"I don't know if the dead can still enter the Infinite Tsukuyomi world." The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost felt the little chakra left in his body and closed his eyes in despair.

After just a moment of waiting, the imagined death did not come.

He opened his little eyes and looked around, and found that Uchiha Obito was standing there in a daze, not launching an attack.

At this time.

Mei Terumi also forced herself to stand up, observing the other party while analyzing, "Each tailed beast has its own independent consciousness, let alone the collection of nine tailed beasts."

Noticing that Obito was still stunned, Mei Terumi licked the corners of her dry lips and continued, "The tailed beasts are unwilling to be sealed and will inevitably seize control of the 'vessel'."

"In that case, let's fight one more time!!" The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost's eyes were filled with ferocity, and he quickly formed seals with his hands, draining the last bit of chakra from his body.

The surrounding water vapor gathered together madly and condensed into a ferocious giant faucet, which pounced towards Uchiha Obito.

"Water Escape Water Dragon Bomb!!"

The moment Mei Terumi realized that this might be her last chance, she also moved.

The last bit of chakra in her body dimmed like a dying charcoal fire, but suddenly burned fiercely again, and as the speed of her hand seals became faster and faster, the chakra burned more and more fiercely.

"Water Release·Explosive Water Wave!!"

A shockwave as massive as a lake instantly formed, engulfing half the battlefield. The faucet absorbed the lake's power, transforming into a massive tailed beast-like monster, crashing down with a thud!
Boom boom boom! !

The endless terrifying roar spread through the air into the distance.

Towering waves were blasted hundreds of meters into the air, then, after a brief period of suspended motion, transformed into a torrential downpour, gently falling back onto the ravaged earth. "So it failed after all?"

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost looked at the black sphere in front of him, sat dejectedly on the water, and muttered to himself, "It's better to save this little chakra and escape. This way, when I die, I can be closer to the village."

Mei Terumi breathed heavily and looked towards the location of the Hidden Mist Village.

boom!
Her knees went weak and she could no longer support the weight of her body, so she fell straight to her knees in the mud.

"Feel sorry!"

Mei Terumi struggled to pull the corners of her mouth together, trying to force out her usual, soothing smile, but the words that came out were increasingly weak, "I failed to lead you. To win. The war."

Blood slid from the corner of her lips and dripped into the mud beneath her.

Mei Terumi's voice grew softer, but her body grew heavier. "I have done what I promised. I will protect you until the very end."

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Suddenly, a discordant applause broke out in the center of the quiet battlefield.

The huge black ball slowly disappeared at this moment.

Uchiha Obito clapped his hands and slowly walked towards the two of them.

Just as Mei Terumi analyzed, Obito was engaged in a tug-of-war with the Ten-Tails.

Although he had experience in controlling the tailed beasts before, as a collection of tailed beasts, the Ten-Tails far surpassed any of them in both strength and awareness.

The moment he became the Jinchūriki, Obito's "self" was formatted by the absolute power of the Ten-Tails. All distracting thoughts, memories, and goals disappeared, leaving only the two most paranoid heartstrings still reminding him.

One tied to the girl's smile.

The other one is the Hidden Mist Village that buried that smile.

So at the moment when he was about to lose his "self", he came close to the two of them, intending to use his hatred for the Hidden Mist Village to prevent his "self" from being lost.

"The Hidden Mist Village, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen - Xiguashan Pufferfish Demon; the Mizukage - Terumi Mei." Obito read out the two names again, his hoarse voice without any emotion.

"In order to protect the 'village', you can willingly give up your life, just like Lin did back then."

He reached out and grasped a Dao-Seeking Jade, transforming it into a weapon. "You didn't have to sacrifice yourself, but this twisted world forced you to sacrifice yourself."

"In this world, hope will eventually turn into despair, and everyone will become a 'tool' of the ninja village, a victim of profit."

"Don't you want to create an 'unharmed Kirigakure'?"

The bewitching words echoed in the ears of Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost and Terumi Mei, causing them to fall silent instantly.

After a while.

Obito crossed his arms over his chest, his hoarse voice devoid of emotion, "This false world is filled with betrayal and schemes. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen who will die with you today once sold the secrets of the Hidden Mist Village to a neighboring country."

"And you, taking the 'ninjas who harmed the Hidden Mist Village' with you, are governing the village together. This fake world is really painful."

"Go create a real world, a world without people who betray their village."

Mei Terumi tried hard to lift her heavy eyelids and looked at the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon beside her.

"Betrayer?"

Her voice was weak due to her injuries, but a resolute smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Uchiha Obito, I became the Mizukage not to be a judge, but to be a doctor."

"The village has been sick for too long, and the disease is rotten to the core. Some abscesses must be removed. But for some wounds, no matter how ugly, as long as there is a slight possibility of healing, I must try to sew them up."

“I acknowledge the ugliness and betrayal of this world, so I choose to face it and heal it, because I believe I can heal it.”

“It is precisely because of this pain that things become sweeter after recovery.”

At this point, Mei Terumi paused, her pale face becoming more solemn. "As for the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon, he used to be a traitor, but now he is a hero protecting the village!!"

Seeing that the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost remained silent, Terumi Mei curled her lips and was about to say something, but she found that the other party was struggling to stand up, and then dragging his heavy body towards them.

"I'm not a hero. I've betrayed the village too."

The voice of the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost was as dull as thunder. It lacked the cunning and arrogance of the past, leaving only a kind of calmness that was almost crazy.

His huge, scarred body was like a crumbling wall, completely isolating Terumi Mei and Obito. He continued, "The Seven Ninja Swordsmen must obey the will of the Mizukage absolutely. The importance of the village comes second.

And because of my greed, I turned the blade against my own people and sold the village information to the enemy."

Having said that, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Mei Terumi out of the corner of his eyes, with a hint of complexity in his tone.

"I don't have much affection for a village that is killing each other and has no hope, so while I will absolutely obey the will of the Mizukage, I will also try my best to satisfy my own desires."

"But later, as the Terminator of the Blood Mist Village, you changed my mind."

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost slowly drew out his kunai and held it across his chest. His gaze passed past Obito and seemed to be looking at something even further away. "The Seven Ninja Swordsmen no longer bear the curse of darkness, but the responsibility of protection."

“And this,” he practically roared out the last few words, his voice hoarse but filled with unprecedented power, “is the fucking real world!!”

"Not that sweet poison you concocted with your Infinite Tsukuyomi!"

"There are betrayals in this world, just like me! But there are also fools who are willing to believe that betrayers can change, just like her!"

He suddenly pointed his kunai at Uchiha Obito, and his fat body burst out with the last bit of speed, like a meteor exploding, smashing into the man who wanted to bring peace to the world.

clang! !

There was a sharp metallic collision sound.

Seeing Uchiha Obito blocking his attack with a single arm, the veins on the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost's neck bulged, and he put all his whole body weight and the last bit of his strength on him. His fat body trembled violently due to the rapid loss of extreme strength.

"Although there is no endless money in this world, and I don't have strong strength," he suddenly let go of the kunai, letting the truth-seeking jade fall on his body, then clenched his fists and smashed directly at Uchiha Obito.

"But this world has redemption, betrayal, and this pile of shit, this tangled mess that can't be sorted out."

"This is the real world with flesh and blood, and it's also my favorite world."

boom!boom!
Two muffled sounds rang out at the same time.

The huge body of the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost was blasted away by a Seeking Dao Jade, and the sound of its body shattering could be clearly heard.

Almost at the same moment, Obito's head tilted slightly to one side, and a heavy punch filled with all his weight hit his cheek solidly.

Seeing this scene, the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost, who was flying backwards, slowly closed his eyes and muttered to himself, "I'm glad that I'm just weak, not a coward."

"But what's the point of dying like this? Is it just to give him a punch?"

While his thoughts were drifting, he heard it.

He heard Mei Terumi's laughter, the exclamations of admiration from the distant Kirigakure Village, and the praises of his predecessors.

This also reminded him of why he went up there to seek death in the last bit of his time.

"I have wielded my sword many times in my life for the village and the Mizukage, and I have betrayed my companions for my own selfish desires. But in the end, I was influenced by the Fifth Mizukage and decided to be a good person."

"But in the end, I failed to protect the Mizukage, failed to protect the village, and failed to defeat the enemy."

“But fortunately”

"I bought them a few more seconds of life, so that the Mizukage and everyone else wouldn't die before me."

"Those who betrayed the village died on the way to protect it"

"The Godaime Mizukage?"

"Not bad taste." (End of Chapter)
