Capítulo 237: Edo Tensei
Shintaro and Obito dashed towards each other like meteors, with strong winds rising between them.
Obito's orange-red and black striped mask concealed a pair of activated Mangekyo Sharingan, with crescent-shaped triangle patterns clearly visible in his red irises. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, slowly unsheathing it, his eyes cold as ice.
In contrast, Shintaro's eyes were entirely different – those sky-blue eyes burned with fighting spirit, filled with anticipation for the intense battle ahead.
In the blink of an eye, they quickly closed the distance.
Shintaro led with a swing of his fist, striking like a gust of wind.
But Obito easily demonstrated his Kamui ability, his body becoming intangible, allowing him to effortlessly pass through Shintaro's attack.
Immediately after, Obito turned to face Shintaro's back and slashed three sharp red sword auras in quick succession. However, the sword energy failed to penetrate Shintaro's defenses and was successfully neutralized by [Infinity].
Faced with this scene, Obito wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he crouched down, exploded with extreme speed, rushed towards Shintaro like lightning, and swung his sword.
This astonishing sword strike was no ordinary slash. He had infused the sword with the power of Kamui from his left eye, which could cause anything it touched to undergo spatial distortion.
The spatial power of Kamui could indeed penetrate [Infinity], but Shintaro's Mangekyo Sharingan was not weak either.
Ame-no-Minakanushi!
Under the influence of the Mangekyo Eye Technique of Shintaro's right eye, his body became indestructible, and even Kamui's power could not harm him in the slightest.
At this moment, Shintaro and Obito simultaneously halted their movements and stared at each other.
"Why aren't you making another move?" Shintaro asked with a slight smile, raising the corner of his mouth.
Obito looked serious and said in a deep voice, "Even though I'm not your equal, you can't defeat me. In that case, why not cooperate to share this world equally? As long as you hand over the Kyuubi, I'm willing to give you half of the ninja world."
Upon hearing this, Shintaro stroked his chin with interest, adopting a thoughtful expression, and spoke after a moment.
"Isn't it possible that I already have half of the ninja world right now?"
"The Village of Iwagakure and Kumogakure are completely incapable of withstanding Konoha's fierce assault, and there's no need to worry about the Land of Rain if I personally put an end to it."
"Now that Konoha's territory covers nearly half of the ninja world, why should I conspire with you over the ninja world?"
Obito took a deep breath and slowly sheathed his sword at his waist. A certain resolve appeared in his eyes.
"In that case, I don't need to hide anymore."
"Hiding?" Shintaro looked at Obito and thought to himself. Judging by Obito's series of actions, it was clear there was a deeper motive behind them.
"My true plan is not to follow the vulgar rules of the entire ninja world but to create a truly real world!" Obito opened his arms and shouted passionately.
After hearing this, Shintaro remained silent, simply staring calmly at Obito.
"I will gather the nine Bijuu, merge them into one, and transform them into the Ten-Tails! Then, using its power, I will cast [Infinite Tsukuyomi] and plunge the entire world into an eternal illusion!"
Obito's words were filled with enthusiasm and obsession.
"Only such a world is the true reality."
His expression was almost mad. He seemed truly addicted to the illusion he had spun and couldn't free himself from it.
After hearing this, Shintaro burst into laughter and mocked, "Hahahahahahaha... So that's it! So this is what you call truth? Obito, you truly surprise me! All this time, everyone thought you were a man of great ambition, but in the end, you're just a pitiful fool deceiving yourself!"
Looking back at the first time they met, he actually had a poor impression of Obito. However, even though Obito's performance at the time was mediocre, his persistence and unyielding spirit left a deep impression on Shintaro – at least at that time, Obito could be considered a worthy opponent.
However, since the accident at the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, Obito suddenly disappeared and was unheard of. Because of this, Shintaro could only feel regret in his heart.
It was only after the Kyuubi Rebellion broke out that Shintaro finally understood Obito's true identity and the extent of his power.
At that moment, he was shocked to learn that the Obito standing before him was no longer the same as before, and his original power had surpassed Kakashi.
It should be remembered that Kakashi was a renowned genius ninja of Konoha Village, and Obito could actually mount a remarkable comeback.
Yet, Shintaro still didn't understand why Obito chose to walk down this irredeemable path.
In his view, Obito seemed to have undergone a transformation and was completely different from the kind and simple young man of the past.
What he never expected was that, even now, Obito had not escaped the shadows of the past, and his mentality had become even more narrow-minded, far less open than when he studied at the Ninja Academy.
"Just to create an illusory world and then hide within it, deceiving yourself and burying your head in the sand like an ostrich, in an attempt to avoid the truth of the real world."
"And you don't hesitate to kill your teacher, your teacher's wife, and the village that raised you because of this. It truly disappoints me."
"Disappoints?"
Upon hearing the word, Obito suddenly removed his mask, revealing the half of his face scarred by wounds as his clenched hand shattered it into pieces.
"What gives you the right to be disappointed in me? You are indeed successful. You've been talented and gifted since childhood. Your abilities far exceeded Kakashi's."
"Now you've ascended the throne as the Fifth Hokage, leading Konoha Village, and joined hands with Sunagakure Village and Kirigakure Village to form the Three-Nation Alliance. You've advanced with great success and are unstoppable. You're poised to sweep across the entire ninja world and achieve the pinnacle of hegemony."
"Not only that, but you also married your childhood friend and sweetheart, Yuhi Kurenai. Both your career and love life are going smoothly and happily. The world has indeed treated you well!"
"I've been poor since I was a child, but I never forgot to train, and I wasn't afraid of fighting. During the Third Great Ninja War, I would have sacrificed myself to save my friends. But how did this damn world treat me?"
"I finally struggled to crawl out of hell and wanted to return to the village, only to learn that Kirigakure Village would turn Rin into a Bijuu weapon. I wanted to save Rin, but I saw that I had killed Rin with my own hands."
"How can this be real?!"
"You know how much I loved Rin! I would feel bad even seeing a strand of her hair break. How could I possibly kill Rin?"
"So, this world must be fake! Otherwise, how could it be so cruel to me!"
"This ninja world is so cruel, so I'll use the Chakra of the Ten-Tails to cast [Mugen Tsukuyomi] over the entire world, control all of humanity, and create an ideal world without war and eternal peace. Rin will be resurrected in the Tsukuyomi world."
After Shintaro took a deep breath, he finally spoke slowly: "Obito, misfortune is not always the right..."
Hearing this, Obito trembled as if struck by lightning, with an expression of disbelief on his face, but it was quickly replaced by anger.
He widened his eyes and glared at Shintaro, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he burst into maniacal laughter.
"Hahaha! Have you experienced what I've been through? Of course, your life is happy!"
The laughter abruptly stopped, and Obito bit his lip tightly, his eyes filled with pain and reluctance. "But so what? I don't care about right or wrong; I just want to create a world where Rin exists! This world means nothing to me. There's no point in talking about it anymore..."
At the end of his sentence, his voice choked slightly.
Shintaro remained unmoved by Obito's emotions and calmly replied: "In reality, you just want to satisfy your selfish desire to bring Rin back. Why do you need to involve grand-sounding reasons like world peace? Everyone has selfish thoughts, this is understandable."
After hearing this, Obito's face grew even darker. He clenched his fists, digging his nails deep into his palms.
"We can only fight with strength!"
With that, a powerful momentum surged from him.
"You're right, but don't think I can't do anything to you."
"Uchiha Shintaro, you're incredibly arrogant. You're so arrogant that you told me the location of the Scroll of Seals. You think it wouldn't matter even if I secretly learned one or two ninjutsu."
"But you've forgotten, I'm no longer the same as before!" Obito said through gritted teeth, while his hands began forming seals rapidly.
As the seals were completed, Obito's body emitted a powerful wave of chakra.
Then, he clasped his hands together and slapped the ground forcefully, watching as an upright coffin slowly rose from the earth.
"[Kuchiyose Edo Tensei]."
"And this will be your destruction!"
"Destruction? Hahahahaha… the battle has just begun."
Although Shintaro laughed heartily, his Mangekyo Sharingan remained fixed on the mysterious coffin, not daring to relax even for a moment.
There was no doubt that a legendary ninja of terrifying power would be summoned from this coffin.
However, with just a wave of his hand, Shintaro easily opened the coffin lid.
At this moment, all his attention was focused on the coffin.
"This is really yours, Obito. You've truly prepared an extraordinary gift for me!"
He murmured to himself, his voice brimming with barely contained excitement.
"The day has finally come. Nagato has grown up."
From within the coffin, a dominating voice suddenly echoed.
"[Edo Tensei]? Shouldn't Nagato be using [Rinnei Tensei]?"
As the words fell, a tall figure dressed in bright laminated armor slowly emerged from the coffin.
His wild black hair cascaded down to his waist. He gently placed his hands in front of his body.
However, his expression showed that he seemed somewhat dissatisfied with his body.
"Obito, it's you. What's going on? How is our plan progressing?"
The man turned and looked sharply at Obito, who was standing nearby, with a slight tone of doubt.
Obito lowered his head in silence and softly replied, "Except for the Kyuubi, all the other Bijuu have been successfully collected. Currently, Gedo Mazo has been infused with the chakra from Ichibi to Hachibi, and there's also Kyuubi chakra from Kinkaku and Ginkaku."
After saying this, Obito paused for a moment, then added, "Only the true Kyuubi remains, which I cannot yet control."
"I see..."
The man stroked his chin, signaling that he understood the situation. Then, he shifted his gaze to the side, where Shintaro stood, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Shintaro looked at the man and immediately recognized his identity—this was the most legendary ninja in the history of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Madara!
"Oh? These eyes... you're also a member of the Uchiha Clan."
"I remember Uchiha Shintaro being the most outstanding genius of the Uchiha and even Konoha in recent years. I've been keeping an eye on you."
"It seems you've grown up."
"He's actually wearing the Hokage cloak. Haha, have you really been tamed by Konoha? I've long said that the Uchiha Clan should leave Konoha."
Shintaro replied fearlessly, "Senior Madara, what you're saying is biased. I led the Uchiha Clan to earn their status in Konoha and successfully became the Fifth Hokage."
"Are you jealous of me because you lost in the election for the First Hokage?"
"Hey, that rude brat is really annoying." Madara frowned and said, "My abilities are no longer limited to the Village of Konoha."
"So what if you became Hokage? What I seek is true peace across the entire ninja world."
"The same rhetoric as Obito; it seems you've misled him." Shintaro said playfully.
"Arrogant!" Madara shouted.
