Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 370 Obito's Desperate Gamble!

Obito was still being stubborn, but hearing the unfriendly tone, he relented, thinking "a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle."

"How did you know that?"

"That's the right attitude."

"Do you know that stone monument at Nanka Shrine?"

Upon hearing this, Obito suddenly realized what was happening, then exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible! The Mangekyou Sharingan can't see the most crucial part... your Sharingan..."

"Hehe... Just as you guessed." Uchiha Gen said with a faint smile.

"Impossible! The Uchiha clan doesn't have a second pair of Mangekyou Sharingan!"

Uchiha Gen said smugly, "Why do I need a second pair of Mangekyou Sharingan to evolve?"

"I'm the one who breaks the mold!"

You have cheat codes, and I have cheat codes too, and mine are even better...

Obito lowered his head and remained silent, seemingly devastated.

In reality, Obito was figuring out how to survive as long as possible, or at the very least, to pass on information to Black Zetsu...

With the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in the enemy's hands, the plan to realize Infinite Tsukuyomi has become much more difficult.

What is the Infinite Tsukuyomi Project?

Kushina looked at Uchiha Gen with a curious expression.

Mikoto also looked over curiously.

"The Infinite Tsukuyomi plan involves collecting the nine tailed beasts, fusing them into one into the Ten-Tails, then having the caster become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, and finally having the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi technique."

"This ninjutsu is the ultimate genjutsu that covers the entire world. It uses light as a medium to pull everyone in the world into the genjutsu. This light can penetrate almost everything."

"Unless you possess power on par with the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, no matter how you dodge or where you hide, you'll still be hit!"

"Everyone in the world is caught in an illusion, and with the will of the caster, everyone can live the happy life they've always dreamed of."

"In this way, the world will be at peace."

Kushina and Mikoto were shocked by what they heard, their mouths agape in disbelief, their rosy lips remaining agape for a long time...

According to Gen Uchiha, if those affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi do not transform into White Zetsu, then although this method is extreme and illusory, it can still be considered a peaceful solution.

But Black Zetsu didn't tell Madara and Obito that those who are under the Infinite Tsukuyomi will eventually turn into White Zetsu, neither human nor demon...

Gen Uchiha thought that White Zetsu was created from Hashirama's cells through the Gedo Mazo, and that Obito was too.

This method is similar to a second world in virtual online games. If life expectancy is normal, people who are unhappy with their lives would probably flock to it.

Even if their lifespan is reduced, as long as the reduction is not too great, many people will still flock to them.

Unfortunately, this technique would transform into White Zetsu, which completely dispelled Uchiha Gen's interest.

In reality, even if he hadn't transformed into a White Zetsu, Uchiha Gen wouldn't have been particularly interested, because he was living a life of ease and success, with a bright future ahead of him.

Only those whose lifespan is short, who desire but cannot obtain what they want, and who wish to escape, would be interested in such a fantastical dream as Infinite Tsukuyomi.

If he is one of the two types of people mentioned above, he will most likely pursue the Infinite Tsukuyomi...

"Uchiha Gen, how about you take the lead in the Infinite Tsukuyomi project?"

"If you succeed, you will not only achieve the unprecedented feat of world peace, but you will also become the world's ruler!"

"You will be the greatest person in the world!"

"No, you will be the true god!"

Obito's face was filled with fervor, and his tone was impassioned as he swayed the crowd.

This was the best solution he could think of; other solutions were too uncertain and had little chance of success.

If Uchiha Gen's ambition is exploited, the chances of the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan succeeding will be extremely high, and he will most likely survive.

As long as you survive, there's still a chance to regain control.

Since we're going to fight Madara Uchiha anyway, one more won't make a difference.

If used properly, it might actually be a good thing...

When two tigers fight, Obito benefits!

"I?"

Uchiha Gen raised an eyebrow, a half-smile playing on his lips, and said, "Heh... what do you guys think?"

"Teacher's wife, don't you want to see your teacher?"

"Don't you want to form a happy family of three with your teacher?"

"Mrs. Mikoto, you too."

"Don't you want to form a happy family of four with Fugaku Uchiha?"

"Everything you desire can be achieved within the Infinite Tsukuyomi!"

Obito's eyes lit up, and he quickly began to frantically tempt her.

"I don't want to; it's an illusion, nothing but self-deception."

Mikoto's expression was serious, her words resolute.

Sigh... So many years have passed, and Fugaku's appearance has become very blurry in her mind. She can't recall what Fugaku looked like at all without careful thought.

She's mostly a mystery person now, and her heart is also mostly a mystery.

Once Itachi and Sasuke settled down and started their own families, she had fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother and no longer needed to worry about them. At that point, she was completely at peace.

"I agree with Mikoto's statement."

"Obito, you are far too weak. You are not even as strong as two women like me and Mikoto."

*Slap!* At this point, Kushina slapped Obito on the head, making him wince in pain.

"And do you think I'm stupid?"

"I have the Nine-Tails inside me, and Naruto has the Nine-Tails inside him. Am I really going to sacrifice my own life and Naruto's life for the so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi?"

"Sacrificing either one is unacceptable, let alone sacrificing both."

Within the sealed space inside Kushina's body, the Nine-Tails wagged its nine tails merrily, cheering excitedly, "Well said, Kushina!"

Fuck Infinite Tsukuyomi! He doesn't want to become the Ten-Tails, or he'll be finished.

Aren't the lives of tailed beasts also lives?

Obito, still unwilling to give up, advised, "Master's wife, it's not necessary to have the Nine-Tails. As long as there is enough Nine-Tails chakra, it can be used as a substitute. There's no need to sacrifice your lives."

Snapped!

"Don't call me 'teacher's wife.' I'm not your teacher's wife, and I don't deserve to be called your teacher's wife."

"Being your teacher's wife is just too unlucky for me, I can't bear it."

Kushina remained expressionless and slapped Obito on the head again.

Obito, in pain, looked at Uchiha Gen with his last glimmer of hope.

"Do you really think someone with my promising future and successful life would be interested in such unrealistic fantasies?"

"I can still get everything I want even without being in the Infinite Tsukuyomi!"

"Actually, you're not entirely convinced of the Infinite Tsukuyomi either, are you?"

"After all, it's something that hasn't been verified. In your utter despair, you're like a drowning person desperately trying to grab onto anything you can."

"This Infinite Tsukuyomi is the last straw you've broken..."

Seeing his plan fail, Obito lowered his head in utter disappointment and hissed, "Heh heh..."

"Uchiha Gen, as expected of you, you analyzed my psychology so clearly..."

"Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say."

"Kill me."

Uchiha Gen sneered, "Heh heh... Want to die?"

"It's not that simple. I have questions for you and things for you to do. It's not too late to die after that."

Obito raised his head, a sinister smile playing on his lips, his face smeared with dark red blood. He said casually, "It's understandable if you have questions for me."

"What do you mean, 'There's something I need to do'?"

"Would I do something for you?"

Stop dreaming.

"I would rather die than do anything for you. Use whatever means you have."

"I'd like to see if the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan can control me under the restraining spells set up by Madara Uchiha..."
