Uchiha the Madman: He embodies truth and obliterates reality.

Throwing his weapon, the coral staff, on the ground, Mizukage Yagura had decided to no longer hold back and to go all out against the masked man before him.

Then, Yagura landed on all fours, his pupils turning blood red. The trend of his tailed beast transformation intensified, and an unsettling aura emanated from him.

"As expected of the perfect Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails from Kirigakure! He's immune to my Sharingan's genjutsu and can even use a portion of the Tailed Beast's power." Obito nodded and gave a critique of Yagura, who was about to transform into his Tailed Beast form.

He's not afraid of me? Yagura, who was about to transform into a tailed beast, felt increasingly uneasy.

"Then... how about trying out my Mangekyou Sharingan?"

The pattern in Obito's eyes suddenly changed from a three-tomoe pattern to a three-windmill pattern. In an instant, the pupils of his Mangekyou Sharingan burst forth with terrifying ocular power, which was released towards Yagura, who was about to transform into a tailed beast.

No way!!! This eye, this pupil power!!

Yagura on the field sensed something was wrong.

"Danger! Lord Mizukage, don't look into his eyes!" A member of the Anbu sensed something was wrong and rushed towards Yagura, shouting.

But it was too late.

On the field, Yagura became motionless. His tailed beast transformation stopped, and his terrifying and astonishing chakra no longer leaked out.

The ANBU placed his hand on Yagura's shoulder, and when Yagura turned around, the ANBU's mouth dropped open. He stared in horror into Yagura's eyes, which were now adorned with crimson Sharingan eyes.

Clearly, their Fourth Mizukage has fallen under the control of the enemy's illusionary arts.

"Monster!! How could we possibly defeat this guy?" The ANBU member turned and ran back to the group in despair.

"The Mizukage was actually controlled by genjutsu? How is that possible... Isn't the Mizukage a perfect Jinchūriki? How could this be..."

Seeing this scene before them, the members of the Dark Guard present were all terrified.

After losing Mizukage Yagura as their leader, the Anbu members were unsure how to defeat the masked man.

On the field—

Looking at the Mizukage Yagura, who was already trapped in his own genjutsu, Obito calmly gave the order, "Come here."

As soon as Obito spoke, Yagura, like a puppet on a string, slowly walked straight towards Obito.

"No, Lord Mizukage!" the ANBU shouted, but having witnessed the previous incident, they dared not make any further moves.

After all, even the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, was controlled by the masked man's Sharingan, so how could they possibly be a match for the masked man before them?

And so, Yagura came to Obito's side.

As Obito looked at the empty-eyed Mizukage Yagura, he instantly recalled that hellish scene.

Her comrade Kakashi Hatake used his right hand's Chidori to pierce Rin Nohara's left chest, right through her heart, ending her life.

Rin willingly sacrificed herself, dying at the hands of Kakashi Hatake's Lightning Blade used against the enemy, just so that she, as a Jinchūriki, would not endanger the safety of Konoha.

The thought of that scene filled Obito with unbearable pain.

Chapter 84 Hell Scene

Obito knew that Rin's death wasn't Kakashi's fault. He couldn't entirely blame his former comrade, Kakashi. But Kakashi hadn't kept his promise to him and hadn't been able to protect Rin.

Even with his Sharingan, a piece of trash is still trash. To Obito, Kakashi, who failed to protect Rin, was less than trash.

After that hellish day ended, Obito learned the truth from Madara Uchiha, who had saved him, and that it was all because of Kirigakure.

Furthermore, Obito himself witnessed the scene firsthand, and he now believed Madara Uchiha's words that it was Kirigakure that did this.

After kidnapping Rin, the ninjas of Kirigakure conducted some kind of experiment on her, forcing her to become the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails.

Although Kakashi ultimately succeeded in rescuing Rin, this was also part of Kirigakure's plan. The Kirigakure ninjas pretended to chase after her, but their real intention was simply to have Kakashi take Rin back to Konoha.

Once Rin returns to Konoha, Kirigakure will force the Three-Tails within her to go out of control, with the aim of attacking Konoha.

The Hidden Mist Village has its sights set on Konoha. They want to take advantage of Konoha being overwhelmed by the Three-Tails to launch a war in order to gain more land and money.

Rin, who had become the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails, had already realized this fact. She was willing to sacrifice herself and die at the hands of Kakashi, the person she loved, rather than let Konoha suffer even the slightest harm.

This is the truth that Obito knew.

Recalling that hellish scene, Obito felt unbearable pain in his heart.

Why did I have to go through all this? Why did I have to face this cruel reality? Minato-sensei, Rin... they're all dead. Why is everyone leaving me one by one?

After his initial sadness, Obito turned his attention back to the ninjas of Kirigakure across the way, a surge of intense hatred welling up within him.

This all happened because of you! You bunch of Hidden Mist Village bastards ruined everything! You ruined Rin! It's all your fault!

Rin too... Minato-sensei's death too... wasn't my fault!!!

I'm never wrong! The world is!!

Obito kept telling himself: Yes! What did I do wrong! I am the savior of this world! Ultimately, it's all because of this cruel reality.

An unexpected variable occurred when Uchiha Shin unleashed his power, summoning a massive meteorite that threatened to destroy the world. This further deepened Obito's understanding that only the Infinite Tsukuyomi could save this hopeless world.

That's right!! Only I can save this world from destruction by a falling meteorite and lead everyone into a beautiful dream with my Infinite Tsukuyomi.

No war! No hunger! No worries! Your loved ones and cherished ones will be by your side. The Infinite Tsukuyomi is not a lie; the happiness it brings to people is real!!!

This is the most powerful means for humanity to truly usher in peace! Thinking this, Obito became even more convinced of his own identity as a savior.

Obito stared coldly at the Anbu members opposite him, while behind them stood the Daimyo and others.

None of them will live. In order to secure my control of the Land of Water and ensure a smooth cooperation between Kirigakure and Akatsuki, you will all die here!

...

...

"Humph!"

Thinking of this, Obito, wearing a mask, chuckled: "I think you've all misunderstood one thing, mistakenly believing that perfect Jinchuriki are immune to genjutsu."

"But the truth is... when a Jinchuriki is trapped in a genjutsu, the Tailed Beast inside him will help him break free. And what would happen if I controlled both the Jinchuriki and the Tailed Beast inside him?" Obito looked at the Anbu members opposite him and asked them with a smile.

"Could it be..." The ANBU members on the other side widened their eyes.

"That's right, your Mizukage and the tailed beast within him have both been controlled by my Sharingan. This is the true power of me, Uchiha Madara." Under the mask, Obito's lips curled into a smile.

The Anbu members found Obito's explanation somewhat unbelievable.

Who is this masked man?! His Sharingan is even able to control the Mizukage, who is a perfect Jinchūriki, using genjutsu.

"Uchiha Madara..." the Anbu members murmured the name the masked man had spoken.

At this moment, someone finally remembered who Uchiha Madara was. "He's the legendary figure who fought against the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama! He's the founder of the Uchiha clan!"

This name was too distant from them. It should have been a forgotten name. If the masked man hadn't taken the initiative to reveal his name, the Hidden Mist Village's Anbu would never have guessed who the masked man with the Sharingan could be. Some of them even suspected that the masked man was Uchiha Itachi.

With reminders from others, the Anbu members also remembered who Uchiha Madara was.

"Uchiha Madara! Is that the man who stood beneath the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama?!"

"How is that possible! Didn't he die in the Valley of the End?!"

"Yeah, yeah! Didn't the God of Ninjas already defeat him!?"

"He's not human! He's a ghost!"

"Death! It must be Death!!!"

The Hidden Mist members were stunned. Even those who had experienced the Blood Mist Village felt their scalps tingle.

"How can we defeat that Uchiha Madara... even the Mizukage is no match for him."

"This masked man is the legendary Uchiha Madara! What should we do?!"

"Forget about the Mizukage! Let's retreat quickly!!"

Upon learning Obito's identity, the Hidden Mist members all took a few steps back in fear.

"Cheer up, all of you! You are ninjas from Kirigakure!! Don't back down!!" An ANBU leader stepped forward and shouted.

At the shout of this ANBU, the ANBU rallied their spirits. They remembered that they were the direct subordinates of the Fourth Mizukage, how could they just abandon the Mizukage Yagura like this?!

Then... the leader of the ANBU suppressed his fear and roared angrily at Obito opposite him, "What a joke! Hand over the Mizukage right now, or our Hidden Mist Village will not let you off!"

"Want your Water Shadow to come back? I'm afraid you don't have that ability, do you?"

Obito chuckled. After retrieving his Mangekyou Sharingan from Kakashi, he could feel that his eye power had clearly improved compared to before.

"【Divine Might】"

A vortex appeared in Obito's blood-red right eye, and then a white figure appeared before everyone's eyes. It was none other than White Zetsu Tobi, and Obito's name in Akatsuki was derived from it.

Hello everyone!

After emerging from the Kamui dimension, White Zetsu Abi cheerfully waved and greeted the Anbu members opposite him.

"What is it... a creature I've never seen before?"

"It looks so strange... Is it a monster?"

The members of the Anbu were surprised and somewhat fearful as they looked at Tobi, the White Zetsu, who suddenly appeared and greeted them.

Chapter 85 Taking Control of Power

"Huh? Everyone's saying that? I'm so sad." Looking at the Anbu members opposite him, Afei scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.
