Zombie Sage in Naruto

Chapter 178 I am also Uchiha Madara, what brings you here?

How could I possibly die?!
Obito flew into a rage and his defenses were breached on the spot.

The Obito of this world is the complete opposite of him. Not only is he not a genius, but he's also a first-rate waste.
Oh, he wasn't exactly useless. It seems that he managed to preserve some of his reputation by dying as a hero of Konoha during the Battle of Kannabi Bridge.

Yes, in Obito's eyes, he was hopelessly weak in this world. He died so hastily while carrying out a war mission!
"He's dead, how am I supposed to gouge out his eyes? No, even if he wasn't dead, he probably wouldn't have the aptitude to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, he's so weak..."

Obito was in a bad mood. He had destroyed one of his Mangekyou Sharingan in order to steal his own eye from this world, but now he was dead. What was there to steal?
His first thought was to wait for Kaedeji to arrive and then revive his version of himself in this world. But what good would revive him do? This guy is so weak, he probably can't even awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"I'll tell you everything I know about Obito Uchiha..." Obito's left eye gleamed with a blood-red light, filled with malice.

The more he learned about him, the more distorted Obito's face became beneath his mask.

"What? I have a crush on Nohara Rin? Many people have noticed, but no one has said anything?"

The world he knew kept redefining his understanding of himself.

Rin Nohara? Of course Obito remembered this girl, but she was just an ordinary girl no matter how you looked at her. Among the countless girls cheering and screaming for him, there was nothing about her that was worth his second glance.

How could someone like this have captivated me in this world?

"What kind of nonsense is this? I can't listen to it anymore. I guess I've turned into a brainless zombie in this world, which is why I've ended up in this mess. My talent, vision, cognition, and overall perspective are all a complete mess!"

In a fit of rage, Obito snapped the neck of the Konoha ninja in front of him. Since this Konoha village wasn't headed by Kaede Tsukasa, he acted with even more impunity.

Just then, the Third Hokage used his Ruyi Jingu Bang to forcefully push the Nine-Tails out of the center of the village. Even though this action caused the Nine-Tails to become like a small mountain, crushing a large number of houses and streets and turning many villagers into dust, he couldn't care less about that now.

In just a short while, one-fifth of Konoha Village has already been affected and turned into a complete mess. If the Nine-Tails is not dealt with soon, and it launches a few Tailed Beast Balls to wipe out the entire village, Konoha Village could be declared destroyed.

After all, even the Third Hokage couldn't handle many Tailed Beast Balls at the same time.

Obito glanced at it from afar and thought, "A bunch of idiots, struggling so much to deal with the Nine-Tails! Where are the Legendary Sannin? Where are Sakumo Hatake and Might Guy? With so many powerful warriors rushing in, even without the Sharingan and Wood Release, what is the mere Nine-Tails!"

Afei asked, "What should we do now? Should we try to leave this world? This world seems to have no value to us."

"No need. We need to find out who controls the Nine-Tails and who can release it from Kushina's stomach first."

Obito snorted coldly: "Where did Minato Namikaze go?"

“A mysterious man wearing a tiger-striped mask attacked him, and then the two of them disappeared together.”

"Oh?"

Obito seemed to be deep in thought. Then, he glared with his left eye, and a black hole appeared in front of him, swallowing his figure.

The next second, he reappeared in the Konoha Forest and saw two people facing off.

"This eye power, and this strange space-time technique, as far as I know, only one person could be it. Could you be... Uchiha Madara?"

Minato Namikaze had just finished speaking with a solemn expression.

No one knows what he was thinking. The Nine-Tails was rampaging through the village, and the Third Hokage was no match for it. His wife, Kushina, had her tailed beast extracted and wouldn't live much longer. This was the time when they needed to act quickly. If he could get back in time and reseal the Nine-Tails back into Kushina's body, everything could still be salvaged.

But the Fourth Hokage was still calmly talking to the enemy—but this wasn't really surprising, because just now, when Kushina was kidnapped by the mysterious masked man, this man with the fastest speed in the ninja world rescued Naruto in time and then carefully put Naruto into the crib.

He was saying things like "I want to save your mother"—and after talking to Naruto for quite a while, he was able to find the masked man and stop him from extracting the Nine-Tails.

"Hmph, you can guess whatever you want about the name, I haven't cared about it for a long time."

The masked man raised his hands, and the chains binding his wrists rattled, clearly indicating that he had made prior preparations to deal with Minato Namikaze.

Just then, Obito arrived, making no attempt to conceal his movements. The sound of his footsteps on the weeds and pebbles attracted the attention of the two.

"Is there any help?"

"There were accomplices too."

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and were both stunned.

It was another masked man, but this time he was wearing a white swirling mask.

"Who goes there?" Minato Namikaze raised his specially made kunai.

"I really can't stand it anymore. I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel that you two guys give me a sense of amateurishness in everything you do."

Obito emerged from the darkness, stood in the moonlight, and removed his hood. His Mangekyou Sharingan glowed red: "If you really want to call me, you can call me... Uchiha Madara!"

Masked man: “…”

Minato Namikaze: "...Another Madara Uchiha? That ominous eye emanating from the darkness, it definitely is the Mangekyou Sharingan. You two both possess the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

He was certain that the man in the tiger-striped mask could use space-time eye techniques. Just now, on the Hokage Rock, the man had appeared silently behind him and almost absorbed him into another dimension.

The ability to blur one's own image and absorb external objects are two abilities that Minato Namikaze is certain to possess.

However, the eye power of the masked man in front of him was genuine and could not be faked, so much so that Minato Namikaze deliberately avoided looking directly into the man's eyes out of caution.

"You also have a space-time eye technique? You two possess similar, no, could it be the exact same ability? Could it be that you each gave one of your Mangekyou Sharingan to someone else?"

Minato Namikaze said, "It just so happens that one of you has a left eye and the other has a right eye."

Kill people and kill your heart.

The two one-eyed men instinctively looked at each other, and that one glance felt like an eternity.

Beneath the two masks, two single eyes, their tomoe spinning rapidly, eventually converged to form identical patterns, the same ominous eye power, the same Mangekyou Sharingan.

"That piece of trash is still alive!!" "Something's wrong with this guy!!"

Both Obitos had their own ideas at the same time.

Compared to Obito, who was almost overjoyed and cried tears of joy, the masked man was utterly horrified.

His eyes were already bloodshot; he couldn't believe his eyes—he saw Ah Fei appear on someone else!

This is unbelievable! That bastard A-Fei betrayed him without his orders! How could a White Zetsu betray him?!
More importantly, the other person's eyes were exactly the same as his, so much so that his first reaction was that this guy dressed as Tobi had gouged out Kakashi's left eye.

"Where did your left eye come from?!" the masked man said in a low voice.

"Hmph, it's the power I gained from my own eyes after seeing through the hypocrisy of this world. You also have the same eyes, so you must have been deeply deceived by this world as well. But where did your left eye go? Did you blind it with Izanagi too? Oh well, at least you have a right eye, so it wasn't a wasted trip."

Despite his initial surprise, Obito still felt a sense of incompleteness.

Gouge out only his right eye and replace it with his already blind right eye, using this method to merge the pupil power of both eyes... at least he could get an eternal eye? Something is better than nothing!
Moreover, it's the right eye that controls black holes, an eye that can greatly enhance the power of the Great Sun Spirit.

Obito looked directly at Minato Namikaze: "Let's leave here. You seem to have other things to do. I'll deal with this guy in front of us. Kurama needs you more."

Minato Namikaze hesitated for a moment: "If you really are that person, it seems I should prioritize dealing with you."

"You piece of trash are no match for me, or rather, even the two of you combined are no match for me. The only one who can suppress me is Kaedeji. I originally thought that Kaedeji was manipulating all of this behind the scenes, but I didn't expect that to be the case. This is just too wonderful."

Obito's body trembled slightly, a sign of extreme excitement coupled with his desperate attempt to suppress his emotions.

Minato Namikaze still hadn't left. The masked man forced himself to calm down and observed cautiously.

"...Alright, it seems there's no way to get you two to behave. You'll both come at me together, and I'll take care of you both. Where should I start? Let's clear out the area first; there's just too much 'weed' here."

Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!

Obito clapped his hands together, immediately unleashing a move to clear the area.

The earth trembled violently, and countless towering trees burst forth in all sorts of bizarre shapes, growing crookedly and transforming everything around them into a vast, chaotic ocean of giant trees.

More and more tree roots reached out and grabbed at the masked man and Minato Namikaze, one after another.

Both of them are space-time ninjas, so they won't be easily captured.

Minato threw kunai in all directions, his figure flashing rapidly among the trees.

The masked man stood motionless, and all the branches that reached for him missed their mark.

But their shock was even greater!
"Wood Release?! That bastard Tobi!"

"It's actually a technique from the First Hokage! How is this possible? Why does Madara Uchiha know Wood Release!"

Obito stood on the tallest tree with his arms crossed, his towering figure stretching endlessly in the moonlight, enveloping the two of them in his shadow.

"This should make you realize the situation a little better. In front of me, you are nothing more than bigger insects."

No sooner had Obito finished speaking than the masked man rudely interrupted him. His deep, cold tone, which he used when speaking to Minato Namikaze, became more urgent, clearly indicating that he was getting impatient: "You suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and used some unknown means to control Tobi, steal my eyes, and spout ridiculous nonsense! You're nothing but a laughable thief!"

Using my power to show off in front of me? Ah Fei is mine, and the eyes are mine too. The masked man was a little vulnerable. After all, he was just a teenager, and his mind had not yet reached a high enough level. Of course, he would come to a conclusion that he himself approved of.

And how could Tobi use such a powerful Wood Release technique? He had never known this before, and he only obtained such important information from an outsider.

He never imagined that the guy in front of him would actually be himself from another timeline.

That wasn't all; Obito clapped his hands again and shouted, "Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

A ferocious wooden dragon darted through the sea of ​​trees, easily destroying countless giant trees with a casual flick of its tail before crashing down on the two men.

This is even more astonishing.

"First, the World of Trees descended, then the Wood Dragon Technique... He possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan, yet also Wood Release. Could he really be Madara Uchiha, who obtained the First Hokage's bloodline limit during the battle at the Valley of the End?!"

Minato had no choice but to believe it. He also realized that the real purpose of this vortex masked man was actually the tiger-striped masked man who had released the Nine-Tails!
Why did these two masked men confront each other, and why did they each possess a Mangekyou Sharingan? Minato Namikaze desperately wanted to figure this out, as it was to eliminate a major threat to the village, but after hearing the roar from Kurama (the Nine-Tails), he had to abandon the idea.

He alone certainly couldn't quickly defeat these two people, especially since one of them possessed such powerful Wood Release abilities.

"It seems I have no choice but to deal with one side first. The best option would be to deal with the Nine-Tails first and then come over, but..."

Minato looked at the wooden dragon that was biting him head-on and smiled bitterly.

Aside from the Reaper Death Seal, he couldn't think of any other way to reseal the Nine-Tails. He couldn't possibly expel the Nine-Tails, because then Konoha would lose it, and that was an absolutely unacceptable price to pay.

But even after sealing the Nine-Tails, he will die. How can he find out the true identities of these two? And how can he defeat them? Relying on the Third Hokage...?

Minato Namikaze felt that he should place his hopes on Naruto. His intuition told him that Naruto was the chosen one from the rumors of Mount Myōboku, and he had to give Naruto the power of the Nine-Tails no matter what.

Swish!
The moment the wooden dragon bit him, Minato Namikaze vanished from his spot.

"Hmph, they escaped. That makes things much quieter. You did do a good deed, though I don't understand why you attacked Konoha and released the Nine-Tails. It's probably related to your experience awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan. But it certainly prevents those flies from bothering us..."

Obito's deliberately disguised voice rang out, exactly the same as the masked man's voice, which made the masked man even angrier.

"Speaking such arrogant words, hindering my ability to kill the Fourth Hokage, who exactly are you?!"

"Didn't I already say that I am Uchiha Madara, just like you? To be even more honest, I am you."

The swirling mask on Obito's face slowly rotated and opened, revealing his youthful face: "Now you can rest in peace, my other self."
