Hiruzen persuaded me to die

Uchiha Obito listened to the discussion of the Sunagakure shinobi, veins bulging on his forehead!

The insults from these people were becoming unbearable!

Beast, filth, worse than pigs and dogs—All kinds of vicious curses echoed in the air.

"It's not me who's wrong, it's this ~ world!"

"It's this damn, chaotic, crazy shinobi world!"Obito roared.

"Why did Rin have to die?!

"What did she ever do wrong?!

"Why was she captured by Kirigakure and forced to become the Three Tails' Jinchūriki?!

"Why did Kakashi have to kill her?!"

"It's this cursed shinobi world that killed Rin!"

It seemed that after finally taking off the mask and facing his old classmate again,Uchiha Obito broke down in a fit of anguish.

Witnessing Rin Nohara's death with his own eyes—This was his first time venting that rage with words.

"I sympathize with Rin's death,"Hyūga Naraku nodded slightly and said, before continuing,

"However, that doesn't justify your revenge on the Fourth Hokage and Kushina."

Nagato and Obito—In the original timeline, both committed the act of teacher-slaying.

In fact, their paths were oddly similar.

They both pursued their version of peace:Obito through the Eye of the Moon Plan, which needed tailed beasts.That naturally put him at odds with Kushina Uzumaki, the Nine Tails' Jinchūriki.

Nagato, on the other hand, sought peace through power and deterrence.When Jiraiya refused to accept that view, he could have fled—but instead stayed to try and change Nagato's mind.

But!

Obito's actions were far more despicable!

Nagato had experienced a childhood scarred by war—his country reduced to rubble by the conflict of the great nations.He tried to bring change.

But was betrayed by Hanzō of the Salamander and Shimura Danzō.

That drove him into the path of pain and destruction.

And even so—Nagato never blamed Jiraiya for "abandoning" them.He didn't lash out like a child.

Compared to that, Obito's actions were revolting!

He grew up in a relatively peaceful Konoha.His teammates and teacher treated him well.Yet after Rin's death, he completely blackened.

He wanted to drag the entire world into his delusion.

He acted like Minato Namikaze owed him everything.

Naraku scoffed inwardly.

Obito, who caused the Nine Tails' attack, wasn't just trying to steal the Tailed Beast!

If that was his only goal, he could've simply teleported Kushina into the Kamui dimension.

But no. He unleashed the Nine Tails inside the village!

Why?To exact revenge, to weaken Konoha, and probably to savor his teacher's despair!

He then tried to trap Minato in Kamui.

Naraku could guess what he wanted:

Trap Minato, show him his identity, and let him watch as Nine Tails razed the village.

Twisted!

Hyūga Naraku simply couldn't understand Obito anymore!

After Rin died, this guy decided to take revenge on the whole world?

Konoha didn't wrong him.The Uchiha clan didn't wrong him either!

Yet he worked with Itachi to annihilate the Uchiha.

The clan's downfall?Obito's responsibility was second only to Danzō's!

The Nine Tails' incident caused Uchiha to be treated with suspicion for years.

Later, Obito even harvested Sharingan from corpses!

This guy was a walking disaster.

"Your real goal is the tailed beasts, isn't it?"Naraku said coldly.

"You caused the Nine Tails' chaos, you tried to take Naruto—also for the Nine Tails."

"Now you show up in Sunagakure for the One Tail."

"But you weren't satisfied just being a collector. You wanted to take revenge on the world."

"You unleashed Nine Tails in Konoha."

"You controlled One Tail to attack the Sand Village."

Uchiha Obito's pupils contracted, but he remained calm on the surface.

"So what?" he sneered.

"This damned shinobi world should just burn."

Hyūga Naraku snorted.

"Let Rin see what you've become."

"Oh, right!"He added as if suddenly remembering something:

"From what I recall, Rin seemed to like Kakashi, didn't she?"

"Even if you created your dream world, she'd never choose you."

"SHUT UP!"

Obito roared, mind buzzing violently.

His temples pounded. His vision blurred.

"I will create a world with Rin."

"Absolutely!"

He clenched his teeth, trying to ground himself in that single belief.

Naraku spat.

So he wanted a world where Rin lived and loved him?

Who gave him that fantasy?

"Hyūga Naraku," Obito's voice lowered ominously.

"I will follow through with my plan."

"Whether it's you, or that trash Kakashi who couldn't protect anyone..."

"If you want to stop me, come at me!"

"Even if I fail a thousand times, I will try a thousand more!"

"One day, I will succeed!"

"You Hokage types are the same—you'll never protect anything!"

Izanagi is here!

As long as his Kamui space remained hidden,Obito could die and retry endlessly.

He only needed to succeed once.

They would always be on the defensive.

But he—he would laugh last.

"Is that so?"Hyūga Naraku whispered.

He vanished in an instant.

Reappeared right in front of Obito!

The Kusanagi Sword at his waist plunged into Obito's gut!

"You already activated Izanagi, didn't you?"

Naraku twisted the blade inside him.

"Back when the Wood Golem was destroyed—you used one of the Sharingan on your right arm, right?"

That's why Naraku hadn't rushed in earlier.

Even if he "killed" Obito, he would just revive in the Kamui space.

But!

"The pain is real right now, isn't it?"

He twisted the sword again.

"Kushina Uzumaki—your victim—had just given birth when you attacked her!"

"Experience the pain she felt!"

And Minato and Kushina—They died shielding Naruto from Nine Tails.

Obito clenched his teeth, trying not to cry out.

The pain was real, even if the damage would vanish soon.

"Urghh—!"

Obito's body trembled as a scream finally broke out.

"Didn't you say you'd try a thousand times?"

"Then I'll kill you every time I see you."

"I just wonder...do you have enough Sharingan stocked up?"

Naraku said coldly.

Obito's body turned translucent and disappeared.

Even the blood on the ground faded.

He had returned to the Kamui dimension—revived.

At that moment—

From underground, a black-and-white figure emerged silently!

From both sides, the twisted shape of Zetsu appeared!

A black arm stabbed toward Naraku's heart from behind!
