He was selling gashapon toys in Marvel Studios, and at the beginning, Tony turned into Kuuga.

After the meeting, everyone dispersed.

Some went to digest the spoils of war, some went to practice the newly acquired techniques, and some went to Banner to ask about Shukaku.

Li Ang remained alone behind the podium, reviewing the data stream in the system's backend.

The coordinates in the Naruto world remain locked, and the teleportation portal has fourteen hours remaining on its cooldown.

According to the original plan, the second round of dungeons can be started tomorrow.

But he always felt that something was wrong.

That red alert came too quickly.

Yesterday's operation lasted only six hours, which is within the normal speed of information transmission.

Even if the five great ninja villages sent out distress signals at the same time, those hiding in the shadows wouldn't be able to react so quickly.

unless……

They were already monitoring the five great ninja villages.

"Damn it," Li Ang cursed, sitting up straight.

If those behind-the-scenes manipulators were monitoring the ninja village's every move, then yesterday's battle, the abilities of the participants, and even the coordinates of the teleportation channels during the retreat could all have been recorded.

He quickly opened the system's security logs.

[Cross-border channel encryption status: Normal.]

[Is the teleportation coordinate leaked? No abnormal tracking detected.]

The system is secure.

However, the system can only guarantee that the channel itself will not be tracked. As for the information exposed during the battle... that cannot be prevented.

"Never mind." Li Ang leaned back in his chair.

If you can't defend against it, you can't defend against it.

His clients were never exactly benevolent people. Those behind-the-scenes figures in the Naruto world want trouble? Then let them come.

That way, we can take on a high-difficulty mission for the guild, and double the reward.

Just as Li Ang was thinking this, his communicator rang.

It's Tony's channel.

"Li Ang, are you free?"

"explain."

"Jarvis just analyzed a scroll I brought back from the Forbidden Techniques Room in Konoha yesterday," Tony said with a hint of excitement. "It's not a ninjutsu scroll."

"It's a file."

"What file?"

"About something called Project Eye of the Moon."

Li Ang tapped his fingers twice on the Coke can.

The Eye of the Moon Project, Infinite Tsukuyomi.

That's a conspiracy on par with the final boss of the Naruto world.

"What's written in the file?"

"Most of the content is encrypted, Jarvis is working on cracking it, but there's a section in plaintext," Tony paused.

"The explicit text mentions a being named Kaguya."

"The description is vague, but one sentence led Jarvis to give it a red risk assessment."

"What did you say?"

"When the Ten-Tails revives, the moon will become her eyes, and all things in the world will enter a dream, with no one ever to wake up again."

After a moment of silence, Li Ang burst out laughing.

"interesting."

"The waters of this Naruto world are much deeper than I imagined."

He stood up and threw the empty Coke can into the trash can.

"Stark, tomorrow's raid is suspended for one day."

"Send me the full contents of that file. Once Jarvis has deciphered it, we'll decide on our next step."

"Received." Tony disconnected the communication.

Li Ang stood in the night wind and looked up at the moon in the sky.

The crescent moon, like a hook, casts a cool, clear light.

He suddenly thought of a very interesting possibility.

What if he treats the core of the Eye of the Moon Project, the Ten-Tails and Kaguya, as commodities as well?

Divine Power Space.

The twisted gray cubes stretched out infinitely, forming an absolute safe house that belonged only to Uchiha Obito.

He knelt in the center of the space, with a huge water mirror projection floating in front of him.

The scene shows the ruins of Amegakure, where the once towering central tower is now just a charred crater in the foundation.

"Nagato... Konan..." Obito's voice squeezed out from behind the mask, dry and hoarse.

His hands were pressed on his knees, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

Those two people were the core executors of his "Eye of the Moon Project".

Nagato's Rinnegan was the key to reviving Madara Uchiha, while Konan was the emotional bargaining chip to control Nagato.

Now, it's all gone.

White Zetsu emerged from the ground, his perpetually smiling face now bearing a rare hint of solemnity.

"Report complete, Lord Obito." White Zetsu's tone was still that cheeky, irritating manner. "All five great ninja villages have been attacked by an unknown force."

"The Raikage of Kumogakure was kicked through three mountains with a single kick."

"The village's protective formation of Iwagakure has been shattered by a direct attack."

"Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast of Sunagakure... uh, it's gone. It must have been taken away in a pack."

"The situation is even worse in Kirigakure. A giant beast of unknown species slammed the Mizukage Building into a pancake."

"Konoha's forbidden jutsu room was emptied out. When the Third Hokage arrived, he stared at the empty wall for a full ten minutes."

Obito suddenly stood up, and the scene in the water mirror switched to Konoha Village, a place ravaged by war.

"Who are the intruders?"

"I don't know." White Zetsu tilted his head. "But the survivors' descriptions are quite interesting. There was a red-haired woman who could turn Lava Release into water, and a guy wearing an iron shell who could rub a black hole in his palm."

"There was also an old man in a Zhongshan suit who slapped Ōnoki's Dust Release away."

"The most outrageous thing is that they left after only six hours, finishing their work and running away, just like... like they were robbing farmers of their harvest."

Obito clenched his fist.

He spent more than a decade planning this.

He manipulated the Akatsuki organization, collected the Tailed Beasts, and instigated conflicts between various countries, all to lead the ninja world to a predetermined end in fear.

Now look what's happened.

Someone was even more ruthless than him, directly overturning the chessboard.

The intruders came in, moved things, beat people, and arrested people, then disappeared.

It's as if the world is just a warehouse they can repeatedly enter and exit.

"Where are Kakuzu and Hidan's signals?"

"It's broken, completely broken." White Zetsu spread his hands. "I can't even detect any chakra residue. It must have been taken away by the whole person."

Obito paced back and forth in the space, his Sharingan behind the mask spinning wildly.

He has to speed up.

The original plan was to slowly collect the nine tailed beasts over several years and use Infinite Tsukuyomi to plunge the whole world into a dream.

But now, the military strength of the five great ninja villages has been crippled, and the tailed beasts are starting to be lost.

If those invaders continue to come, the remaining tailed beasts will eventually be moved away.

What will he use to activate the Eye of the Moon? A lump of air?

"White Zetsu".

"I'm here."

"Split off all your clones and scatter them throughout the entire ninja world."

Obito's voice became calm, like the calm before a storm.

"Tell all the surviving ninjas that the extraterrestrial demons have descended, and their goal is to destroy the entire ninja world."

"They said... the next invasion by the demons will be in seven days, at which time there will be an even larger-scale massacre."

Bai Jue blinked.

"Are you trying to create panic?"

"I want to unite the entire ninja world."

Obito turned around, his Sharingan gleaming with a scarlet light.

"When people are fearful enough, they will band together for warmth and hand over all their resources and strength to a leader."

"And that leader is me."

He needs an army, a united army of the entire ninja world.

Even if this army will ultimately become a sacrifice for him to activate the Eye of the Moon.

At least until then, he needs to use these cannon fodder to hold off the cross-dimensional invaders and buy him enough time.
