Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

The land of rain.

In response to Nagato's questioning.

Obito Uchiha had no intention of answering.

He suddenly reached out his right hand and plunged his fingers into Nagato's right eye socket.

"ah--!"

Nagato let out a bloodcurdling scream as blood gushed wildly down his face.

Without any mercy, Obito Uchiha pried out the Rinnegan that was emitting purple light.

The sound of the optic nerve being torn could be heard clearly inside the empty tower.

Konan lunged at him like a madwoman, only to be kicked away by Obito with a casual kick.

Obito Uchiha took out a small glass bottle filled with nutrient solution and threw the Rinnegan into it.

"This is your destiny, you piece of trash."

Just as Obito Uchiha's finger was about to touch Nagato's left eye...

A burst of crisp applause suddenly rang out, interrupting his actions.

*Slap.* *Slap.* *Slap.*

Chiba slowly lowered his hands, his face full of mockery.

"What a dog-eat-dog show."

"Uchiha Obito".

"You hid in the Kamui dimension for ages, and finally decided to come out?"

These words were spoken.

The temperature in the entire hall instantly dropped to freezing.

Obito Uchiha's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

The Sharingan beneath the mask contracted violently, utterly shocked.

He thought his disguise was flawless, and even used the name of Uchiha Madara to deceive people.

How could Chiba possibly call him by his real name!

Just then.

A series of hurried footsteps came from the entrance of the tower.

Kakashi, carrying several Rain Ninja who were unable to resist, rushed into the hall.

He happened to overhear what Chiba had just said.

Kakashi was struck dumb, frozen in place.

He stared incredulously at the masked figure, his breath catching in his throat.

"Obito..."

Kakashi's voice was dry and hoarse, with an undisguised tremor.

Obito Uchiha suddenly turned his head, staring intently at Kakashi, a flash of extreme resentment in his eyes.

But he quickly forced himself to calm down.

"The Fifth Hokage of Konoha".

"I don't know what nonsense you're spouting."

Obito Uchiha deliberately lowered his voice, attempting to continue his pretense.

"Still pretending?"

"You think you're in control of everything?"

"You think Project Eye of the Moon is foolproof?"

Chiba scoffed.

The way he looked at Obito Uchiha was like he was looking at a ridiculous idiot.

"What are you talking about...?"

What is Project Eye of the Moon?

Nagato covered his bleeding right eye, panting heavily.

He endured the excruciating pain and stared intently at Chiba.

He firmly believed that collecting the tailed beasts was for the purpose of creating the ultimate weapon to intimidate all nations with fear.

"idiot."

"You were sold out and you're still helping them count the money."

"Your so-called Rinnegan is not something you awakened at all."

"That was transplanted into you, the last surviving member of the Uzumaki clan, by Madara Uchiha before he died!"

Chiba glanced at Nagato and said with a disdainful tone.

Upon hearing this...

Nagato felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his remaining left eye filled with horror.

Xiao Nan covered her mouth and shook her head repeatedly, unable to believe what she was seeing.

Chiba continued to speak, each word like a knife, stabbing them hard into their hearts.

"Collecting the tailed beasts is not for the purpose of creating any weapons."

"It's to revive the Ten-Tails and unleash the Infinite Tsukuyomi!"

"To trap the entire world in an illusion, turning them into mindless zombies."

"This is what they call lasting peace, a complete hoax."

After Chiba finished speaking, his gaze turned to Black Zetsu, who was clinging to Nagato.

"And you, Black Zetsu."

"You are not a product of Madara's will at all."

"You're just a lump of mud clinging to life in order to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki."

Black Zetsu's half-black face froze instantly.

He had been lying low for over a thousand years, believing himself to be infallible, but today Chiba had stripped him bare.

the other side.

Obito Uchiha's face was contorted to the extreme.

His meticulously planned scheme and his long-hidden secret were turned into a joke by Chiba in front of everyone.

"That's enough!"

Obito Uchiha let out a beast-like roar, completely breaking through his defenses.

He ripped off the tiger-striped mask from his face and crushed it into powder.

That face, covered in deep scars and half of which had been smashed by a boulder, was now completely exposed to the air.

The kunai in Kakashi's hand clattered to the ground.

He stared intently at that familiar yet unfamiliar face, his eyes instantly turning red.

"Obito...it really is you."

"Why didn't you die... what have you been through these past few years?!"

Obito Uchiha glanced coldly at Kakashi, his eyes devoid of any trace of the affection they once shared.

"Kakashi."

"You worthless liar."

"You promised you'd protect Lin, but what happened?!"

"You yourself used the Lightning Blade to pierce her heart!"

Kakashi's chest heaved violently as the nightmares of the past overwhelmed him.

He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but no sound came out.

Obito Uchiha looked deranged, spreading his arms wide and laughing wildly.

"Since Lin doesn't exist in this world."

"Then I'll create a world with Rin!"

"What bullshit about unifying the ninja world, what bullshit about Konoha and Hokage."

"Chiba, no matter how strong you are, you cannot stop the arrival of the Eye of the Moon!"

Obito Uchiha tucked the bottle containing the Rinnegan into his robes.

He didn't want to continue this entanglement.

Now that Nagato is useless, he must leave immediately.

The kaleidoscope in his right eye was spinning wildly.

The space around Obito Uchiha began to spiral and twist again, preparing to suck him into the Kamui dimension.

Seeing this, Kakashi rushed forward anxiously.

Chiba stood calmly in place, without moving a single finger.

He watched Obito Uchiha put on an act, a cold, mocking smile playing on his lips.

one second.

two seconds.

Three seconds passed.

Obito Uchiha remained in the same spot.

That distorted spatial force was like hitting an invisible iron wall, instantly dissipating into nothingness.

Obito Uchiha was stunned, and a trace of blood even seeped from his right eye due to the excessive use of his eye power.

"What's going on?!"

Obito Uchiha refused to believe it and activated his Sharingan once again.

however.

No matter how hard he tries.

The surrounding space was completely solid, showing no reaction whatsoever.

His proud abilities of blurring and time-space transfer have completely failed.

"What's wrong?"

"Can't go back to your turtle shell?"

Upon seeing this.

Chiba couldn't help but speak up and mock.

"What...what did you do?!"

Obito Uchiha suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief and panic.

"In these past few years."

"Besides handling Konoha's political affairs, I occasionally study sealing techniques."

"Based on the Flying Thunder God Technique, I developed a barrier specifically designed to seal spatial coordinates."

Speaking of it.

Chiba pointed to the walls around the tower.

I don't know when.

The surrounding walls were covered with dense black runes, which emitted a faint blue light.

"The moment you appeared."

"The entire space of Amegakure was locked down."

"Without my permission, not even a fly can leave using space-time ninjutsu."

Hearing Chiba's words.

Obito Uchiha was struck as if by a heavy blow, and staggered back half a step.

Kamui Space was his biggest trump card and the only thing he relied on to face Chiba alone.

And now.

The Divine Might Space has been sealed.

He was like a snake whose fangs had been removed, completely losing his threat.

fear.

An unprecedented fear instantly gripped Obito Uchiha's heart.

Chiba looked at Obito Uchiha coldly, his eyes like those of someone looking at a pile of unrecyclable garbage.

"Without divine power, you are not even as good as an ant."

"You're nothing but a coward who's been brainwashed by Ban and only knows how to hide in the shadows and wallow in self-pity."

Chiba had no interest in dealing with this kind of person himself.

He turned his head and looked at Kakashi beside him.

"Kakashi."

"This is your personal grudge."

"You can handle him!"

"..."
