Uchiha the Madman: He embodies truth and obliterates reality.

The moment the eye came into contact with his eyes, a strange sight appeared before Obito's eyes.

"Illusion?"

When Obito came to his senses, he was already standing on the Hokage Rock of Konoha. Before he could even savor this strange yet familiar environment, something incredibly strange suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

"That is?"

Obito opened his eyes wide and looked up at the sky.

A massive meteorite tore through the sky, hurtling toward the Earth with devastating force.

“This is…” Obito’s pupils contracted slightly.

The sheer size of this meteorite was unlike anything he had ever seen in his life, and he couldn't even imagine the consequences if it were to land.

"I have to stop it... What should I do?" Obito's mind began to race.

At that moment, the villagers of Konoha Village, standing beneath the Hokage Rock, noticed the enormous meteorite and cried out in terror.

The scene shifts.

It was as if Obito had gained a god-like perspective, seeing the scene before him.

The people of the five great ninja villages—Konoha, Kirigakure, Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kumogakure—looked in horror at the meteorite falling from the sky.

No! Not only the five great ninja villages, but people all over the world, without exception, looked up at the huge meteorite in the sky, their hearts filled with despair.

"Quick! We must stop that meteorite from falling!"

"Anyone will do! Someone please save us!"

"What should I do! What should I do?!"

"Think of something quick!!!"

People around the world cried out in despair, but they were powerless against the apocalyptic meteorite and could only watch it fall rapidly.

The ninjas from the five great ninja villages were unwilling to sit idly by and wait for their doom. They took action and tried to use ninjutsu to stop the giant meteorite from falling.

However, all resistance was in vain. The huge and scorching meteorite tore through the sky, broke through the atmosphere, and fell downwards at an astonishing speed, heading straight for the surface of the earth.

Soon... with a tremendous roar, the meteorite crashed to the ground. A burst of white light filled the world, and a devastating shockwave obliterated everything on the planet.

The earth ripped apart, mountains collapsed, and lava gushed from the ground. Vegetation was destroyed, and the ocean evaporated.

The buildings of the five great nations—the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, the Land of Water, the Land of Thunder, and the Land of Wind—were instantly reduced to dust, their territories reduced to wastelands covered in lava. The people on the surface didn't even have time to utter a sound of pain before they were all annihilated. Similar scenes played out all over the world.

The world is ending? No! Absolutely not!!

After witnessing this apocalyptic scene firsthand, Obito turned pale.

"This can't be real...this can't be real!!" Obito covered his eyes, unable to believe what was happening.

My own plan, the Eye of the Moon plan, hasn't been realized yet. I haven't even created that world full of happiness, that world where no one is hurt, no war, world peace, and everyone is the protagonist. How can the world be destroyed?!

The unmistakably real world is right before my eyes!!!

By the time he came to his senses, the apocalyptic scene had vanished.

Then, Obito turned his gaze to the already deceased Uchiha Shin.

"You damned bastard!"

Obito roared and swung his katana at the real corpse. At this moment, he lost his usual composure. In Obito's eyes, the head with its eyes gouged out and smiling was undoubtedly the greatest mockery of his pursuit.

"You clearly don't understand anything, stop being so self-righteous! You're just a nobody!!!" Obito roared, raising his sword and slashing at the headless corpse again and again. Blood splattered everywhere, and Uchiha Shin's body was no longer recognizable as human.

"call..."

After an unknown amount of time, Obito regained some composure and stopped.

Obito still harbored a sliver of hope: what if it was just a simple genjutsu? What if the world wouldn't be destroyed? What if it was all an illusion?

Moreover, Obito refused to believe that all of this could happen. How could a mere Uchiha like him have such great abilities?! Obito would never believe it even if you beat him to death.

"The people of Konoha should be coming out to clean up the mess soon. Let's retreat for now and verify the authenticity of the meteorite impact later." Thinking of the scene in the genjutsu, Obito was unusually flustered.

"The world will absolutely not be destroyed, absolutely not!"

After gritting his teeth and speaking to the real corpse, Obito flashed to the outer streets of Konoha Village.

On the street, a figure was crouching on a rooftop, waiting for him for a long time. This person was Uchiha Itachi.

The two arrived at the rooftop.

"Is it over?" Obito asked him.

Uchiha Itachi, wearing an animal mask, did not answer.

"You... never mind, let's go."

Obito wanted to say something, but the thought of what had just happened instantly dampened his spirits.

"I should go back first," Obito thought, and started walking.

Obito hadn't walked far when Itachi Uchiha's voice came from behind him, "Wait! How is Shin...?"

"Of course, I took care of it easily," Obito said calmly without turning around.

Obito didn't choose to tell Itachi the truth because he didn't trust him. So he told him a half-truth, half-lies. The process of defeating the Uchiha was indeed simple, but Itachi had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and his Mangekyou abilities seemed quite troublesome, even affecting the safety of the world. However, there was no need to tell Itachi any of this.

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha did not react in any particular way.

Then, Obito asked, "What are your plans next?"

Uchiha Itachi looked at Obito's retreating figure and replied, "Having committed such a crime, I'll be wanted by Konoha no matter where I go."

“I have an organization called Akatsuki. If you don’t mind, come join us,” Obito said to Itachi.

After a moment of silence in response to Obito's words, Itachi said, "You go first. I need to talk to the higher-ups in Konoha."

"Is that so... I'll be waiting for you at Wangfeng Mountain after you've finished dealing with this." With that, Obito left.

More important than dealing with Itachi Uchiha is confirming what just happened.

After Obito left, Itachi stood alone on the rooftop, gazing in the direction of the Uchiha clan's territory. He had personally wiped out everything there, including his clansmen, his parents, his friends, and her.

"Feel sorry..."

A tear rolled down Itachi's cheek as he collapsed to his knees, his fists clenched. Memories of the past flooded his mind, but everything was now history.

For the sake of peace in the village, someone must step forward and bear the burden of everything. If someone has to do it, then let him bear all the sins himself.

Next, I should meet with the Third Hokage to entrust Sasuke with his affairs, and warn the Hokage about assisting Shimura Danzo. After that, I can join the Akatsuki organization.

Having made up his mind, Itachi Uchiha left and headed to the Hokage Building.

Chapter 5 Playing with fire

"Things are slowly getting tricky... What a miscalculation. My original plan was to weaken Konoha's strength and use that to acquire a large number of Sharingan to enhance my own power."

"I never expected it would backfire so badly..."

On the way back, Obito was still weighing the gains and losses of his trip to Konoha.

Originally, everything he had done went very smoothly. He and Itachi Uchiha had joined forces to wipe out the Uchiha clan, greatly weakening Konoha's strength. He had also successfully nipped the potential threat to this powerful clan in the bud. Moreover, Itachi Uchiha had taken the blame for the destruction of the Uchiha clan, so he didn't have to bear any responsibility or step out from behind the scenes.

You could say he should have gained a lot this time. But... everything changed because of the appearance of an unknown Uchiha nobody.

That Uchiha... somehow awakened the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan, becoming a variable. As a result, I'm now... uneasy, worried about the reality of the apocalyptic scenes I witnessed.

Thinking of this, Obito's expression hardened.

How could he allow his years of planning to be ruined by an unknown nobody? The Eye of the Moon Project must be carried out, no matter what. Regardless of whether the meteorite crash was real or not, he would absolutely not allow the world to be destroyed. The world would only return to the right path under his influence.

Having made up his mind, Obito quickened his pace and headed towards the Akatsuki's base.

........

........

That night.

The Konoha Anbu have assembled at the Uchiha clan's territory; they are responsible for collecting and cleaning up the corpses of the Uchiha clan members.

"This is terrible, how could such a thing happen?"

"There's only one survivor from the Uchiha clan, right? And he's just a child."

"That child seems to be the son of the Uchiha clan leader. It's really tragic that such a large clan is reduced to just him!"

"This is outrageous! Who could have done this?" Some of the ANBU exclaimed in astonishment as they looked at the countless corpses lying on the ground.

"This was all done by Itachi Uchiha. In order to gain power, he did not hesitate to kill Shisui Uchiha and steal his eyes. When the truth came out, it caused a conflict with his fellow Uchiha. With nowhere left to go in the Uchiha clan, Itachi Uchiha, driven by power and hatred, finally destroyed the Uchiha clan with his own hands."

Shimura Danzo, who also served as the Hokage's assistant, walked slowly toward the Anbu with a cane, and settled the matter in a few words.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up, "Itachi Uchiha committed a heinous crime by murdering his fellow Uchiha. He should be immediately classified as an S-rank criminal and placed on the wanted list throughout the Land of Fire and the world."

"Yes!" The surrounding secret agents knelt on one knee and replied.

"Continue searching for survivors of the Uchiha clan and clear away the corpses on the ground," Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered the ANBU members around him.

"Yes!" The secret agents obeyed the order and dispersed in all directions.

"With that, everything is resolved." Seeing that no one was around, Danzo walked up to Hiruzen Sarutobi and said calmly.
