Although Ōnoki and the Fourth Raikage were at each other’s throats, they ultimately didn’t fight, thanks to Mifune’s mediation.
It showed Mifune, as the host, was quite effective. At least Ōnoki and the Fourth Raikage gave him some face.
Mifune’s strength was not weak either—As someone who had fought Hanzō of the Salamander—his own strength was likely no less than Kage level.
“Who’s there?? Show yourself!”
The Fourth Raikage, who had just sat down, suddenly lashed out, punching towards his left rear. An unfortunate White Zetsu was killed by his punch.
It was just a White Zetsu clone. Even if it was killed, it didn’t matter.
Actually, even if White Zetsu’s main body was killed, it wouldn’t matter much. White Zetsu’s main body wasn’t that important.
It wasn’t that if White Zetsu’s main body died, all its clones would die too. In fact, if White Zetsu’s main body perished, its clones could continue to live and jump around.

“As expected of the Fourth Raikage, your senses are quite sharp.” Obito appeared behind the Fourth Raikage, his voice calm as water.
“Playing tricks in front of me??” The Fourth Raikage reacted instantly. Before even turning his head, he swung his elbow towards Obito.
The powerful blow, which would have made even other Kage wary, passed right through Obito’s body.
“What’s going on?” The Fourth Raikage’s gaze darkened. He didn’t know what had happened; the attack had passed right through him.
“Space-Time Ninjutsu?”
The Fourth Raikage was well-informed.
This definitely wasn’t Genjutsu—it had to be Space-Time Ninjutsu. Thinking the opponent possessed Space-Time Ninjutsu, the Fourth Raikage felt it would be annoying.
And the Fourth Raikage felt this technique was very familiar. Shin Uzumaki seemed to possess a similar Space-Time Ninjutsu.
Staring intently at the masked man, ‘This guy is not Shin Uzumaki. If it were Shin Uzumaki—he definitely wouldn’t wear a mask and hide his face.’
“Who are you?” The Fourth Raikage questioned Obito Uchiha.
“He’s a member of the Akatsuki—”
—At this moment, Kakashi spoke, his expression very complicated. He remembered that during the Akatsuki’s attack on Konoha, it was this man who had saved him.
If not for him, Kakashi would have perished along with Konoha…
Obito heard Kakashi’s words, his body stiffening for a moment before returning to normal. The eye visible through his mask became even colder.
“He’s right. I am the leader of the Akatsuki. I came here only to declare—the Fourth Shinobi World War officially begins,” Obito said indifferently to everyone.
“Brat!”
Ōnoki couldn’t help but stand up, glaring angrily at Obito.
Obito wasn’t affected by Ōnoki’s words. Declaring war also had a purpose. He wanted to use this war to get the other half of the Nine-Tails from Naruto Uzumaki.
Although he had obtained the Yin-attribute Nine-Tails through Shin Uzumaki’s method—half a Nine-Tails clearly wasn’t enough to revive the Ten-Tails to its complete state.
Obito feared something might go wrong. He didn’t want to revive an imperfect Ten-Tails, so he wanted to get the other half, the Yang-attribute Nine-Tails.
Besides, Obito also knew that even if he didn’t declare war on the entire Shinobi world—the Five Great Villages would definitely come looking for trouble with him.
Who asked him to steal all the Tailed Beasts??
———
“What exactly is your purpose?” Nawaki asked Obito calmly and composedly.
“Purpose?? I will revive the Ten-Tails, unleash Infinite Tsukuyomi, and plunge the entire world into a Genjutsu. Then, everything lost can be brought back in the world of illusion.”
A crazed glint appeared in Obito’s eyes.
One wonders if Obito had a problem with his brain… He had the Rinnegan; he could have just used the Rinne Rebirth Technique to revive Rin Nohara.
That would have been the end of it…
—Yet he insisted on completing the Eye of the Moon Plan. Was he brainwashed too thoroughly by Madara Uchiha, or was it for some other reason??
Perhaps it was for another reason!
Even if he revived Rin Nohara, Rin might not like him. Only in a Genjutsu could everything proceed according to his wishes.
At this moment, Obito was twisted. Perhaps only Obito himself knew his true thoughts.
The Five Kage, hearing Obito’s words, reacted intensely.
He wants to cast a Genjutsu on the entire world? This is insane!
And looking at his confident demeanor, it seemed he had the ability to achieve it. This made them unable to sit still.
Who would want to live in a false world??
“<Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!>”
Ōnoki used Dust Release.
A cubic barrier shot towards Obito, enveloping him.
All objects enveloped by the barrier would be disintegrated into atomic states, not even ashes remaining—
—The power of Dust Release, aside from Truth-Seeking Orbs, All-Killing Ash Bones, some ultimate ocular techniques, and Six Paths Senjutsu, was arguably the Strongest.
However, this kind of attack had no effect on Obito.
To be precise, Obito’s True Body existed in another dimension. No matter how powerful Dust Release was, it was useless if it couldn’t hit.
“No effect.” Ōnoki’s face was very dark. Although he had anticipated this result, seeing it have no effect still made his expression gloomy.
Obito glanced at Kakashi, then left…
The people here could do nothing to him.
“Is it my imagination?” Kakashi couldn’t help but touch his Sharingan, watching Obito’s retreating back. He sensed a familiar aura.
———
After Obito left, everyone was lost in thought, their expressions grim.
“Everyone, we must stop his plan,” Hiashi Hyūga stood up and said.
Hiashi had originally come here just to watch the show, as it didn’t concern him much. But after learning of the opponent’s plan, he couldn’t just stand by and watch.
Because this also concerned him.
Hiashi Hyūga didn’t want to live in a Genjutsu world either. And who knew what would happen to him after being pulled into the Genjutsu world.
Actually, the Genjutsu world of Infinite Tsukuyomi could satisfy all your thoughts and desires. If they were really pulled into it, perhaps even knowing it was a Genjutsu, they wouldn’t be willing to come out.
But they hadn’t been hit by the Genjutsu yet, so that wasn’t the case. They naturally had to resist with all their might.
“I remember Shin Uzumaki also has intricate connections with the Akatsuki, right?”
The Fourth Raikage’s gaze fixed on Nawaki and Hiashi Hyūga. If anyone here was familiar with Shin Uzumaki, it would be these two.
“Don’t look at me. I don’t know either.” Nawaki, seeing everyone staring at him, immediately waved his hands.
Nawaki himself really didn’t know much about Shin’s affairs.
Could the Akatsuki’s plan also involve Shin?? Nawaki found it a bit hard to believe.
