Just as Sasuke had almost perfectly integrated Madara's Rinnegan...
The giant egg formed around Obito also showed new movement at this moment.
The massive Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal cocoon formed by Obito saw cracks spreading wildly across its surface like a spider web, and a torrent of chakra that made heaven and earth tremble surged out from the fissures!
In an instant, the clouds above the desert rolled back, and the chakra field that had been chaotic due to Nagato's Ten-Tails Jinchuriki form was completely torn apart by this new, purer, and more violent power.
"Crack—"
"Boom!!!"
The shell didn't simply shatter; it was as if it were forcibly burst open by the will of the "God" gestating within, turning into billions of points of light debris containing destructive energy, which instantly vanished into nothingness.
Blinding white light swallowed the entire center of the battlefield, followed by a deafening explosion and a shockwave that swept through everything.
Even with the Nine-Tails chakra cloak shared by Naruto for protection, the Allied Shinobi Forces were blown away like fallen leaves in the wind, with the weaker ones fainting on the spot.
Even the powerful figures of the Edo Tensei had their bodies flickering unsteadily under the impact of this power.
The light faded, and the dust settled.
Obito's figure hovered in mid-air, taking the place of the giant cocoon.
His current form had already surpassed Nagato's previous Six Paths mode, displaying a suffocating "perfection."
He no longer possessed the twisted half-bodied form seen in the original story.
At this moment, his posture was tall and well-proportioned, his skin possessing a texture as lustrous as jade, as if composed of the purest energy.
He did not hold a six paths staff in his hand, but the nine pitch-black Truth-Seeking Orbs hovering around him were even deeper than Nagato's.
Like nine miniature black holes rotating slowly, they swallowed the surrounding light and energy, emitting a sense of despairing pressure.
After he appeared, that massive chakra was no longer a violent discharge but was restrained around his body, forming a visible ripple in space.
The air around him appeared unnaturally distorted, a manifestation of the perfect fusion of Kamui Dimension power and Ten-Tails power.
Just by existing there, he caused the ground of the entire battlefield to sink silently, and the structure of space seemed incredibly fragile.
He needed no movement; that "divine" pressure originating from the source of life and standing above all living beings caused an instinctive fear and sense of submission to well up from the depths of the souls of all who witnessed him.
The purity and strength of this power even exceeded that of the previous Nagato.
Obito's eyes were calm and waveless, like a cold pond frozen for ten thousand years, with no trace of his former madness, anger, or sadness.
It was an absolute indifference, like looking down upon ants.
He had successfully fused with the Ten-Tails, obtaining the long-coveted power to warp reality.
At this moment, he seemed to have truly become the "Savior," a god who would execute the Eye of the Moon Plan with absolute power.
He lowered his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over the Allied Forces as small as ants below, the uncertain Madara, as well as Minato in the distance holding the other Rinnegan in tense guard, and Sasuke, whose Rinnegan Ocular Power was still fluctuating violently.
There was no provocation or hatred in that gaze, only a pure will confirming the existence of his "targets."
"This... this is..."
Madara could clearly feel that the level of power currently radiating from Obito had surpassed his own peak state during his lifetime, even touching the realm he had pursued all his life.
Those nine flawless Truth-Seeking Orbs declared a fact: Obito, in a way he had not anticipated, had become a "Six Paths" existence stronger than he had envisioned.
"Obito as a vessel... perhaps it's not unusable!"
Black Zetsu's shadow writhed silently between the cracks in the sand, his eyes fixed firmly on Obito high in the sky.
At this moment, Obito hovered above the desert, his perfect Six Paths form radiating a god-like pressure.
Nine deep Truth-Seeking Orbs orbited his body like planets; this already far exceeded the power of Nagato or even Madara during his lifetime.
"A vessel..." Black Zetsu's consciousness surged in the darkness.
Obito had indeed broken free from the cursed seal Madara had implanted in his heart and was no longer under their direct control, but his obsessive Eye of the Moon Plan strangely overlapped with Black Zetsu's ultimate goal.
Once the Infinite Tsukuyomi was activated, the God Tree would swallow all the chakra in the world, which was exactly the indispensable step for resurrecting his mother, Kaguya!
Madara's vessel plan was nearly bankrupt; although he had successfully been resurrected, his Rinnegan had been split between Minato and Obito...
Now, it would be extremely difficult for Madara to defeat Obito and become the new Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
In that case, Black Zetsu's thoughts were cold; he didn't mind treating Madara as a discarded pawn.
Now that Obito becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki was an established fact, rather than obsessing over Madara, it was better to turn this unexpected product into a new vessel.
As long as his mother's consciousness was injected into Obito's body after the Infinite Tsukuyomi and the God Tree were formed!
The only question was "how to inject it."
Obito's current Six Paths Power formed an absolute barrier, making it impossible to get close by conventional means.
With its methods of hiding its presence, even Six Paths Obito couldn't possibly discover it, but it still needed a body to pierce Obito's heart...
Finally, Black Zetsu cast its gaze upon Madara; perhaps it would still have to make use of him.
At the moment Obito's perfect Six Paths form, imbued with divine pressure, was fully revealed on the desert battlefield.
The Allied Forces headquarters issued a top-level emergency order through the mental network.
"All personnel retreat! Immediately leave the core battlefield!"
This instruction was not out of fear, but based on a bloody lesson from reality.
The overwhelming power of Six Paths Nagato earlier had clearly proven it.
Facing a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki of this level, the numerical advantage of ordinary Shinobi was not only meaningless but would even become a source of needless sacrifice.
The scene of those eight Truth-Seeking Orbs easily annihilating the combined attack of the Raikage and Killer Bee and severely wounding Kage-level experts was still fresh in their minds.
Now, the nine Truth-Seeking Orbs hovering around Six Paths Obito emitted an even greater pressure.
Although the Allied Shinobi Forces were unwilling, they obeyed the orders strictly.
They retreated quickly like a receding tide, moving away from the central area radiating destructive energy, leaving only the top combatants on high alert.
Meanwhile, Naruto took a deep breath and formed hand seals.
The Nine-Tails chakra cloak he had shared, which covered the Allied Shinobi Forces, flowed back rapidly like a tide, turning into streams of warm light that surged back into his body.
When the last trace of chakra returned, Naruto's body swayed violently, his hands supporting his knees as he gasped for air.
His forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat; although his golden Nine-Tails Mode was still maintained, its light had clearly dimmed slightly.
Providing such a massive amount of chakra to the entire Allied Forces over a large area for a long time...
Even as a perfect Jinchuriki, he felt an unprecedentedly huge burden.
The Nine-Tails inside him also let out a low hum, clearly having consumed quite a bit as well.
Six Paths Obito hovered in mid-air, his indifferent gaze sweeping over the chaotic battlefield below.
Just as he expected, due to his transformation, the entire battle had fallen into a strange standstill.
The Allied Shinobi Forces instinctively retreated under his aura, maintaining a defensive formation;
While the previously surging White Zetsu army and those powerful figures summoned by Edo Tensei...
At this moment, they also seemed to have lost clear instructions; their movements became hesitant, and they even stopped attacking, staring blankly at the new sovereign in the sky.
Clearly, whether it was Black Zetsu or those potential controllers, they had all fallen into confusion and observation because of Obito's sudden and far-beyond-expected "perfect Six Paths form."
Looking at the situation below, which had fallen into a brief stalemate due to his power alone, a cold arc curled at the corner of Six Paths Obito's mouth, and he let out a clear sneer.
"Heh..."
This laughter was full of disdain and mockery.
Whether it was the fear and caution of the Allied Forces or the confusion and hesitation of his own side, in the face of his absolute power at this moment, it all seemed so small and ridiculous.
He had long since surpassed these mundane calculations and the boundaries of factions.
He had become a god! He possessed the ultimate power to end this hellish world!
The Allied Shinobi Forces instinctively retreated before this power, and even the exhaustion Naruto showed from reclaiming the chakra was particularly glaring.
Six Paths Obito's gaze pierced through this suffocating pressure, landing precisely on two familiar figures below.
Minato, his former teacher, the Yellow Flash remained, but his eyes carried the heavy burden of the entire Allied Forces;
And Kakashi, his former companion, whose Sharingan was fixed on him, swirling with complex and difficult-to-describe emotions.
Looking at them, the lake of Obito's heart beneath the cold mask seemed to have a stone thrown into it, rippling with long-lost waves named "the past."
That time in Konoha, Team 7 executing missions, training, fooling around...
Those were his purest and happiest years as "Obito."
Rin's gentle smile, Minato-sensei's trusting pat on the shoulder, Kakashi's awkward concern...
These images appeared so clear yet so distant amidst the absolute sense of control brought by the Six Paths Power.
"Minato-sensei... Kakashi..."
Six Paths Obito's voice came, low and carrying a trace of an undetectable sigh; the inhumanity brought by that power seemed slightly diluted by this call.
He spoke slowly, no longer as a declaration, but more like a confession carrying complex emotions.
"Do you see it? This world full of pain, betrayal, and despair... Rin's death, Sakumo-senpai's tragedy... the root of all this is this twisted reality itself!"
His voice gradually rose, carrying a near-obsessive fervor.
"But all of this can be changed! My 'Eye of the Moon Plan'... it will create a perfect world! A world without war, without parting, without pain! There, Rin will be alive, and she will live happily!"
"Sakumo-senpai will watch Kakashi grow up, and Lady Kushina will accompany Minato-sensei and you, Naruto... everyone will get the happiness they desire most!"
"All regrets will be compensated, and all tragedies will cease to exist!"
Obito's gaze swept over the shocked and solemn faces of Minato and Kakashi, finally resting on them, his tone taking on a strange sincerity.
"Join me, Minato-sensei, Kakashi. In this perfect world, everything you cherish will return. We... Team 7... and Rin, can start over. There will be the most perfect arrangements, the most complete ending."
"This is true salvation!"
The air seemed to freeze.
The hearts of the Allied Forces were in their throats, with countless eyes focused on the two core figures.
The "perfect world" described by Obito undoubtedly had a huge impact on the Shinobi who had just experienced tragic sacrifices and witnessed countless tragedies.
However, Minato took a deep breath, and there was no trace of hesitation in his deep blue eyes, only profound sorrow and incomparable determination.
"Obito... that world is false."
His voice was clear and powerful, piercing the silence of the battlefield.
"Rin's sacrifice, Sakumo-senpai's choice... and the laughter and tears, the struggle and protection we have all experienced..."
"These real emotions, these real bonds, are the meaning that constitutes our existence!"
"A dream woven with genjutsu, no matter how beautiful, is just a cage for escaping reality! It obliterates human will and deprives us of real possibilities; that is not peace, that is eternal imprisonment!"
Kakashi gripped his Kunai tightly, his exposed Sharingan looking directly at Obito, his voice low and carrying a trace of trembling.
"Obito... Rin... she sacrificed herself to protect her companions and Konoha. What she hoped for was definitely not such a false world built with lies!"
"What she hoped for was for us to continue living in this real world with her will, protecting everything she cherished!"
"By doing this, you are trampling on Rin's resolve and denying the meaning of her life! Wake up, Obito!"
"Stop using Rin's name to perform acts of destruction!"
The rejection of the two was like two sharp swords, piercing through the invitation to the illusory dream Obito had meticulously woven.
Their words were not only a denial of the "Eye of the Moon Plan" but also a complete denial of Obito's indulgence in the past, his escape from reality, and his distortion of the meaning of Rin's sacrifice.
Obito's perfect body hovering in the air seemed to stiffen for a moment.
The speed of the orbiting Truth-Seeking Orbs increased slightly, leaking a trace of unstable energy fluctuation.
Those eyes hidden behind the mask or power fluctuated violently upon hearing "Rin's resolve" and "trampling on Rin's sacrifice."
The pain and struggle belonging to "Obito," which had been forcibly suppressed by the Six Paths Power, seemed to have a gap torn open at this moment.
But immediately, an even deeper violence and despair after being rejected erupted like volcanic lava, instantly drowning that brief hesitation.
The perfect Six Paths form radiated an even more terrifying pressure, and the air seemed to let out an overburdened wail.
"False...? Trampling...?"
Obito's voice became bone-chillingly cold, with no trace of his previous emotional fluctuations, leaving only pure, destructive rage.
"You... don't understand at all! A world where Rin does not exist... has no value in existing!"
The nine Truth-Seeking Orbs suddenly lit up, and a dangerous light condensed within them.
