Minato Namikaze: "It's the man who claimed to be Uchiha Madara. Who is the person beside him? His accomplice? Also, the clothes they are wearing—is that the uniform of some organization?"
Looking at the clothes worn by Obito and the others on the Sky Screen, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but begin to speculate.
A: "Wait, the traces left by this guy when he disappears and reappears... why do they look so familiar?"
Rasa: "If I remember correctly, when the First Herrscher was born, an arm of her Companion Honkai Beast was twisted off by exactly this kind of spatial distortion."
A: "That's not the point. The point is, where did that severed arm go? Can that fellow Kakashi release it like the guy on the Sky Screen? If he can, doesn't that mean New Konoha possesses the arm of the most powerful Honkai Beast?"
A: "No wonder New Konoha is researching fusion experiments with Honkai Beasts. It turns out they have such a precious thing in their hands!"
Hatake Kakashi: "Raikage-sama, please don't speak recklessly. I can hardly control the power of this eye myself. Besides, at most, I can only distort space; I cannot achieve anything more than that."
A: "Who knows if what you're saying is true or false."
For a time, everyone in the Ninja World wanted to know if New Konoha had indeed secured the arm of one of the two strongest Honkai Beasts currently known. If New Konoha truly had that arm, wouldn't that mean they were highly likely to pull ahead of everyone else?
This was something they could not accept. If Kakashi was lying, then all the ninja villages would likely be unable to sit still. However, very soon, everyone would know whether Kakashi was lying or not.
["When are you going to take back your other eye? We can all see that New Konoha is very dangerous now. That fellow was lucky to escape with his life last time, but this time, he won't be so lucky."
Looking at the data Obito brought back from New Konoha, Black Zetsu followed up with a question. After all, he knew very well what abilities Obito's eye possessed. If Obito could retrieve his other eye, his eyes would become the strongest Mangekyo Sharingan.
After activating Susanoo, he could even go head-to-head with a Honkai Beast of the same size! After all, a Susanoo that could use Intangibility at any time would easily gain the upper hand in battle. Calling it the strongest was no exaggeration.
"Shut up. My business is none of your concern!"
Obito did not give a direct answer to Black Zetsu's question; instead, he scolded him directly. Did he not know how much of a boost retrieving the other eye would give him? That was a powerful Dojutsu capable of tearing apart the limbs of a Herrscher's Companion Honkai Beast.
But that eye was a gift he gave to Kakashi, and it had been personally transplanted by Rin. It was his only remaining bond to Konoha.
"Fine, fine. You'll think it through eventually."
How could Black Zetsu not understand Obito's thoughts? It was nothing more than tedious sentimentality. When he needed power again, Obito would surely take that eye back!
After doing a preliminary sorting of the data, Obito went into the depths of the laboratory. Unlike the surrounding areas filled with precision instruments, this place was quite empty, featuring only a few Iron Chains hanging from the ceiling and a massive limb suspended by them!]
"The limb of the First Herrscher's Companion Honkai Beast?"
Upon seeing that limb, many people couldn't help but cry out in surprise. They had speculated that the arm might be in New Konoha, or perhaps it truly had been destroyed by space, but they never imagined that this arm was actually in the hands of this mysterious person!
No, there were traces to follow after all. The spatial swirl produced when this mysterious person activated his ability was identical to the swirl produced when Kakashi activated his Dojutsu! And the eye covered by the mysterious man's mask was precisely the right eye!
Therefore, there was only one truth!
Minato Namikaze: "Obito, it's actually you!?"
Uzumaki Kushina: "You ungrateful wolf! We treated you so well, and this is how you repay us?"
Hatake Kakashi: "Obito, is it you, Obito?"
In fact, Kakashi had long suspected Obito's identity, but he had never dared to be certain. But now, as the evidence mounted, no matter how much he tried to avoid it, it was useless.
Nohara Rin: "Obito, what do they mean? What exactly happened after I died?"
Nohara Rin was completely baffled. What had happened?
Kakashi remained silent. He couldn't exactly say that Obito took advantage of his mentor's wife giving birth to release the Nine-Tails, causing massive chaos in Konoha, and even resulting in the deaths of his master and mistress.
Uchiha Wraith: "Allow me to explain. Over a decade ago, while the wife of the Fourth Hokage was in labor, a mysterious man released the Nine-Tails, causing the Night of the Nine-Tails. This resulted in massive casualties for Konoha, including the deaths of the Fourth Hokage and his wife. Looking at it now, that mysterious man is highly likely Uchiha Obito."
Nohara Rin: "But how is that possible? Didn't Obito die right before our eyes? I personally transplanted one of his eyes into Kakashi. How could he do such a thing?"
Hatake Kakashi: "..."
Senju Tobirama: "That's not necessarily so. If an Uchiha suffers a massive shock, it is possible for their Pupils' Potency to increase significantly, making them much stronger. Simultaneously, they become more extreme. It is not surprising they would do something like this."
Nohara Rin: "Obito, say something!"
Uchiha Obito: "There is nothing to say. Everything I have done is for the sake of peace!"
Uzumaki Kushina: "Ridiculous! Creating slaughter is what you call peace?"
Minato Namikaze: "Kushina, Obito is no longer the Obito we knew. He is now our enemy!"
A: "Wonderful, truly wonderful. Konoha is such a mess. I honestly suspect that even without the Sky Screen, Konoha would have been ruined by your own people."
Onoki: "Isn't that the truth? Since the death of the Second Hokage, Konoha has gotten worse by the day. I'm laughing myself awake from dreams."
Rasa: "This is all thanks to the 'fine work' of the Second Hokage's disciples. Without them, the current Konoha might still be the juggernaut that leaves surrounding villages breathless. Not like now, where I'd dare to take a kick at it—before the Sky Screen appeared, that is."
Watching the comments scroll across the Sky Screen, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but clench his fists. Did he... truly do something wrong? This was a question only he could answer for himself.
Meanwhile, the people of New Konoha were filled with rage. These troublemakers who wished for the world to fall into chaos were truly damnable! If not for the fact that Senju Tobirama hadn't found a suitable sacrifice, preventing Senju Hashirama from exerting even ten or twenty percent of his strength, he would have led his people to attack the other villages long ago. How could he let them talk such nonsense here?
