Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

In addition, Madara also left Obito the Gedo Mazo and the artificial white Zetsu.

Because the Rinnegan was with Nagato, the Gedo Mazo was initially controlled by him.

[Even without the tailed beast's chakra, the Gedo Mazo was a terrifyingly powerful summoning beast.]

The scene cuts in.

A secret base somewhere in the Land of Rain.

A colossal golem of the Outer Path stood in the dim space, its eyes closed and its body as withered as a mummy.

Nagato sat in a wheelchair, his hands forming hand seals, and chakra surged into the Gedo Mazo like a tidal wave.

The golem spewed out a burst of energy, shattering the mountain wall in front of it.

[The White Zetsu, on the other hand, were weapons that Obito could directly utilize. These artificial humans helped Obito a great deal, constantly monitoring the movements of the ninja world, helping him wipe out the First Akatsuki organization, and playing a key role in Obito's human wave tactics during the Fourth Shinobi World War.]

Amegakure Village, the base of the first Akatsuki organization.

Yahiko, who was squatting on the windowsill looking at the sky, froze when he saw this sentence.

He slowly turned his head to look at Nagato and Konan, his expression filled with confusion.

"Are the White Zetsu spying on us?"

Nagato was also stunned; his Rinnegan trembled slightly, as if he were recalling something.

"I did sense someone watching us during those times, but I wasn't sure. Now it seems it was White Zetsu."

Konan's face turned pale. "You mean, White Zetsu has been spying on us all along?"

Yahiko was silent for a few seconds, then looked up at the sky.

Is the road to realizing one's dreams really this winding and tortuous?

The curtain continues to fall:

[But the most outrageous thing is that Obito swaggered around under Madara's name for so many years without ever being discovered.]

[Besides the information gap and the backing of hard power, there's a deeper logic here: he's not imitating Madara; he's inheriting Madara's position.]

In other words, it's not that Obito's disguise was convincing, but rather that Madara has become a concept.

[This concept itself is empty; as long as it meets people's expectations of it, anyone can become a freak.]

When Obito first emerged from seclusion, Madara was believed to have been dead for decades.

Over the decades, the ninja world's impression of Madara has long since transformed from a specific person into an abstract concept.

The characteristic of a concept is that it is vague and fillable.

The period when Konoha was founded.

Madara Uchiha's brows furrowed slowly.

"Have I become a mere concept?"

Hashirama Senju scratched his head. "Madara, the meaning of 'Tenbu' seems to be... that people in the ninja world will no longer remember what you look like, they will only remember that you were very powerful."

"...Is this a compliment or an insult?"

"Isn't that a compliment? After all, it's been reduced to a concept. If someone in the future were to use Wood Release, they'd probably think of me too."

Everyone knows Madara is very strong, but no one can clearly explain exactly how strong he is, what he looks like, or what his tone of voice is like.

The ninja world's impression of Madara boils down to three things: he was a legend of the Uchiha clan, he was incredibly strong, and only Hashirama could defeat him.

[These three lines all match, and there are even some that are more.]

The exact nature of Madara's Mangekyou Sharingan remains unknown, while Obito's Kamui has demonstrated overwhelming power.

The statue in the Valley of the End cannot speak. Most of those who saw Madara are no longer alive. The only living witness is Onoki, but his memories have long been distorted by fear.

Under the sky, in the hidden village of Yanyin.

As Ohnoki looked at the words on the sky, he couldn't help but cough a few times.

"What do you mean my memories have been distorted by fear?!"

Huang Tu cautiously spoke up from the side, "Father, please don't get agitated..."

"I'm not agitated! I'm simply stating the facts!"

Heitu muttered quietly beside him, "Grandpa, your voice has changed."

"Shut up!"

Therefore, Obito didn't need to replicate Madara; he only needed to cover it up.

He is the one who is alive, so his definition of Madara is greater than anyone else's.

Inside the Divine Might Space.

Obito stared at the words on the sky and remained silent for a long time.

Covering spots...

It turned out to be the case.

He was just deliberately imitating Madara's voice and then saying that he was Madara.

Then other people just believed it.

The curtain continues to fall:

Furthermore, Obito inherited various legacies from Madara.

In people's minds, only freckles can possess these features.

As the heir, Obito only needs to display these legacies to be tantamount to Madara personally endorsing him.

Konoha Training Ground.

Naruto looked completely bewildered.

"So, Obito was impersonating someone else all along?"

Kakashi stood beside him and said, "That's one way to understand it."

"What about his own dreams? What about his own will?"

Kakashi remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "He probably thought that Madara's dream was his dream, and Madara's will was his will."

"But it's fake!"

"Yes, but he believed it for a long time."

In the 60th year of Konoha, after a brief silence on the street, someone couldn't help but ask a question.

"If one day someone stronger than Obito appears, can he also call himself Madara?"

"Theoretically speaking, it is possible."

"That's pretty scary."

"If a ninja who knows Wood Release and is very strong were to appear, the entire ninja world would probably think he is Hashirama Senju."

"After all, this kind of representative ability is more famous than the first generation himself."

So, after saying all that, how good was Obito's talent?

Meanwhile, in Konoha year 48, in Minato Namikaze's office.

Kushina Uzumaki rested her chin on her hands, gazing curiously at the sky.

"Minato, I remember Obito wasn't particularly outstanding when he was in school. You always said he was a potential player."

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze nodded with a wry smile.

"That's true of Obito. He has his own rhythm; he learns slowly, but once he masters something, he becomes very solid."

On a cliff somewhere in the ninja world, inside the Kamui dimension.

Obito Uchiha sat alone on the high platform, looking at the title on the sky, his gaze dark and unfathomable.

A low, hoarse voice came from beneath the mask: "Talent? Ha, what's the point of evaluating that now..."

The text on the sky continued to scroll.

At the Ninja Academy, Obito was a complete failure. He was always late, his grades were consistently at the bottom, he couldn't even figure out a clone jutsu, and he worried every day about whether he could graduate.

[In contrast, Kakashi graduated at five and became a Chunin at six. The difference in talent is like night and day.]

Under the sky,

Kakashi glanced at Obito with disdain.

"cut."

"Hey, Kakashi! What kind of look is that?! Try glaring at me again!"

"It's nothing, I just feel that the sky sometimes says some obvious facts."

"you!!!"

Nohara Rin stood helplessly between the two, while Namikaze Minato stood not far away with his hands behind his back, watching his disciples bicker with a gentle smile on his face.

Within the Uchiha clan, he was undoubtedly a disgrace; even the simplest Fireball Jutsu was difficult for him to learn.

On the banks of the Naka River, the young Fugaku Uchiha was practicing Fire Release with the young Itachi when he saw this sentence, and his hands paused slightly.

He glanced down at the five-year-old Itachi beside him, who could already skillfully spit out a fireball the size of an egg, and then thought of the rumors in the clan about Obito being the worst student, and sighed silently.

"That kid Obito... he really is a headache in this respect," he muttered to himself.

In the Uchiha clan compound of Konoha 52, due to the sky barrier, the name Uchiha Obito had long been the focus of discussion among the clan members.

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha looked at the sky with a face full of disappointment and frustration.

"He struggles even to learn the Fireball Jutsu? Does he even deserve to be called an Uchiha? No wonder he was manipulated and went down the wrong path later!"

But once he's pushed to the limit, his talent begins to shine.

[During the battle at Kannabi Bridge, he awakened his Sharingan at the level of two tomoe, directly skipping a level.]

On the night Rin died, he skipped from two tomoe to three tomoe and directly awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

[What does this mean? In the entire history of the Uchiha clan, only Obito was able to jump directly from the Two-Tomoe Sharingan to the Mangekyou Sharingan.]
