Chapter 237 - Chapter 237: Sasuke Makes Things Worse

After Itachi died, who did all the Uchiha hate the most?

Not Danzō. Even without considering Yami, in the eyes of the Uchiha survivors, Danzō was just a scapegoat and a politician.

Without Danzō, perhaps someone else would have pressured Itachi, or even the Third Hokage might have stepped in directly.

What they hated most, of course, was the masked man who caused everything.

Without that mysterious masked man, there would have been no Nine Tails Rebellion, and the Fourth Hokage's reign might have ended very differently.

Even if nothing else had changed, without the masked man stopping the elite guards, no one besides Itachi could have wiped out the clan with just the Mangekyō Sharingan.

So no matter how you look at it, the masked man is their greatest enemy.

After learning that this mysterious man was the mastermind, not only did Sasuke lose control, but the other Uchiha also had red eyes as they released their strongest attacks toward Obito and Madara.

After Sasuke suddenly leapt forward, Shisui rushed after him at the fastest speed.

But what was faster than them was Naruto's attack!

The golden fox roared toward the sky, and a Tailed Beast Bomb quickly formed in its huge mouth. Carrying Naruto and Nine Tails' hatred, it dragged a long tail of energy and surpassed the two Susanoo, smashing into Obito.

Who says you cannot be a perfect Jinchūriki if you have hatred?

It is only that without a shared hatred, there can be no communication.

Naruto's hatred for the murder of his father, the murder of his mother, and Nine Tails' humiliation of being manipulated and toyed with all erupted at this moment.

"Tsk."

Yami, who had been watching, turned and looked at Minato, who was still standing there in a daze, and teased, "Fourth Hokage, you are at least the user of Flying Thunder God. It is one thing to be a step late to save your wife, but why do you not even move when it comes to revenge?"

This is the thing Yami cannot understand at all.

Kakashi in the original timeline had made up his mind to kill Obito, but Minato had acted like a madman. Even with Flying Thunder God, he was slow, and he saved Obito.

What did Obito do after being rescued?

Madara was resurrected, and two more big enemies appeared.

There is no one else like him.

Hearing Yami's sarcastic tone, Minato came out of his shock, and a wry smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Sorry Yami, I'm just too shocked that the masked man turned out to be Obito..."

"But why, why would he do this?"

Yami did not answer, but Kakashi murmured the answer.

"..."

Hearing this, Minato remembered Obito's undisguised hatred for Kakashi, and he understood something, then sighed silently.

Facing the Tailed Beast Bomb coming at full speed, and the two Susanoo following closely behind, Obito did not panic or feel tense at all.

He just calmly stretched out his right hand.

"Uchiha... Fire Formation!"

Six fire walls rose up, and the Tailed Beast Bomb hit one of the walls, forcing it to compress and deform.

Then, attacks like Yasakani no Magatama, energy arrows, and others followed one after another, but this thin layer of barrier was like an unbreakable eternal wall, blocking everything.

Swish!

Two Susanoo, one purple and one green, drew their swords at the same time and struck fiercely.

Screech! Screech!

The barrier finally could not bear the impact and let out a wail as if on the verge of breaking. Its strange curves looked as though they could collapse at any moment.

But Obito sneered, and with a wave of the staff in his hand, the flame barrier's defense increased greatly as if it had been strengthened. Not only did it return to its original position, but it also reflected all the attacks back.

"As expected of the power of the legendary Sage of Six Paths."

Madara watched as Obito blocked an attack that even he would have to take seriously with just a B-rank ninjutsu and praised him approvingly.

Even a failure like Obito could display such power. If he became the Ten Tails Jinchūriki, he would definitely be even stronger.

"Brother Shisui!"

Sasuke was blown back by the force of the counterattack and realized that it would not be easy to break this barrier. He locked his eyes on Obito, threw two kunai, and decisively activated his space ability.

Buzz!

The tall Susanoo disappeared in an instant, and Sasuke appeared next to Madara. Obito was stunned to find himself where Sasuke had been.

The two of them had swapped positions.

After Sasuke's signal, Shisui was mentally prepared. Before Sasuke's ninjutsu finished, Susanoo's huge fist had already smashed down with strong force. When Obito appeared, he was right in front of it.

"The troublesome force of space."

Obito frowned slightly. He himself possessed spatial abilities, so he naturally understood how difficult and annoying this ability was.

If it had been before, he could have avoided the attack by becoming intangible, but after becoming the Ten Tails Jinchūriki, he had not yet fully mastered this power and could not hollow instantly.

But even if he could hide, Obito did not intend to now.

He had been plotting in the dark like a rat for so long, and now he was the Sage of Six Paths of this world. No one in this ninja world was qualified to make him hide again!

Bang!

Obito also threw his own fist.

The two fists, each hundreds of times larger in size, collided. The expected scene of Obito being knocked away did not occur. Instead, Susanoo took a heavy blow. Its huge body flew backward and began to break apart piece by piece.

"Curse Seal Chidori!"

Thousands of bird cries sounded from behind Obito. Sasuke had no intention of being entangled with Madara. After switching Obito's position, he immediately activated Flying Thunder God to return to his original place.

Sasuke had already reached perfection in combining these two space ninjutsu, and even Minato's eyes lit up when he saw it.

This battle strategy...

He is more like his son than Naruto!

The power of the curse given by Yami was released, and Sasuke entered a cursed state similar to Sage Mode. The lightning in his hand also turned into a Sage-colored chakra with flowing light.

Obito's head had only turned halfway when his chest was pierced by lightning. The shockingly large hole made Shisui and Naruto, who had just arrived, overjoyed.

"Well done, Sasuke!"

Sasuke could not help but show a smug smile.

Just now, Madara was bragging about the power of the Sage of Six Paths, but it was nothing more than this.

"Hehehe."

"Hahahahahahaha!"

To Sasuke's surprise, Obito did not show any shock or fear on his face but instead laughed madly.

Bang!

Obito raised his foot and kicked Sasuke away. The wound on his chest had no effect on him and was instead healing.

"Damn it."

Madara, who was originally just watching, suddenly froze and his face slowly turned gloomy, glaring at Sasuke with hatred.

Even if it was for Izuna's face, he wanted to cut Sasuke into pieces.

The attack just now had failed to kill Obito, but instead destroyed the restriction he left on Obito's heart!

No wonder Obito laughed so wildly, his laughter carried the tone of a villain who had finally succeeded.

After laughing wildly for a while, Obito stopped and looked at Sasuke, who was full of doubt.

"Sasuke, you and Itachi are two extremes. One is smart but dies early, and the other is a long-lived idiot. I really have to thank you for completely removing my weaknesses."

After saying that, Obito glanced at Madara with contempt. "Madara, I will let you witness the arrival of the final moment, and I will also help you fulfill your dream."

After saying this, he no longer paid attention to Madara's glare. The staff in his hand transformed back into a Truth-Seeking Ball and flew behind him. Then he formed seals with his hands.

"The God Tree is born!"

A huge crack appeared in the ground, and vines larger than mountains emerged from it, climbing upward madly.

One hundred meters, one thousand meters.

Ten thousand meters!

The God Tree seemed to grow endlessly, and the stamen at the top bloomed angrily. The huge flower seemed to overlap with the blood moon in the sky, casting a swaying light.

"Project Tsuki no Me has finally reached its final stage."

Obito's eyes fell on Naruto's golden fox, and then looked at Yami's black eyes.

He could feel the incompleteness of the God Tree. What was missing was the Eight Tails and Nine Tails chakra. However, compared to the Nine Tails, the Eight Tails chakra was almost negligible.

If he had a complete Rinnegan, he could forcefully perform Infinite Tsukuyomi.

But with only one, there was still a risk of interruption, so he had to absorb half of Nine Tails' chakra.

The biggest obstacle was Yami.

It just so happened that it was time to settle the score between him and Yami.

Obito landed in front of the thick trunk of the God Tree and looked at Yami with a haughty expression.

"Fifth Hokage, even if you defeat Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, the final winner will only be me."

"Obito, what is your purpose?!"

Kakashi heard Obito's declaration and shouted loudly, "Why did you attack Konoha and destroy the Uchiha? Rin will be disappointed to see you like this!"

"Shut up! How dare you mention Rin?" Obito glared at Kakashi. "Everything I did was to create a world with Rin!"

"Lightning Release: Kirin."

Yami said this lightly, and a thick pillar of lightning immediately descended from the sky, striking Obito.
