Naruto: With Favorabiltity System

Chapter 463: The Loser

Inside the supergravity space.

The stone giant and the blue Susanoo simultaneously charged at Kaguya.

Despite the supergravity significantly affecting their speed, the vast chakra reserves still allowed Obito and Kakashi to move quickly.

Kaguya, observing the giants drawing closer, became increasingly calm.

Black Zetsu, hidden in her sleeve, tried to break Obito's will with words:

"Oh, isn't this Madara's pawn? The Infinite Tsukuyomi is complete. Are you trying to destroy everything you created?"

Obito just smiled without saying a word.

At this point, there was nothing more to say to the enemy.

He and Kakashi exchanged glances, understanding each other's thoughts in an instant.

"Kamui!!!"

In a flash, Obito appeared right in front of Kaguya.

He had detached from Susanoo, yet Susanoo did not dissipate!

At the same time, Obito's figure transformed into Kakashi's form.

He himself moved behind Kaguya, creating a pincer movement with Kakashi!

The chirping sound of Chidori echoed, and golden light blossomed!

Behind him, the Six Paths staff had already transformed into Truth-Seeking Balls, ready to explode at any moment!

"Surprisingly, the Truth-Seeking Balls are easy to control, similar to the Rasengan's principle…"

"Cough! Kakashi!!!"

Under Obito's control, the Truth-Seeking Balls near Kaguya spread out.

Kakashi responded with a simple "Mm," then transformed the Chidori, infused with Senjutsu and Tenseigan chakra, into a dazzling light.

Before Kaguya could react, Obito and Kakashi's figures had already vanished.

The moment their attack concluded, they used space-time ninjutsu to transport themselves beside Naruto and Sasuke.

"It's about to explode. Remember to close your eyes and cover your ears," Kakashi said with a smile.

Obito then activated intangibility, encompassing Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke.

As his words fell, the light before Kaguya bloomed.

In the explosion of golden light, everything turned pure white.

When the Truth-Seeking Balls collided, they reacted even more quickly, as if they would explode with just a glance!

Boom!!!

The Truth-Seeking Balls fully initiated their destruction, with darkness and light colliding at that moment!

Even space-time was collapsing, making teleportation impossible, trapping everything in a momentary freeze!

And all this happened in mere fractions of a second—any slower, and escape would have been impossible!

By the time Kaguya hesitated on who to attack, the strikes had already landed!

"Uncle Kakashi, Kaguya is immortal, be careful!" Sasuke warned, gazing into the deep, bottomless pit and cracks ahead.

Obito explained, "I've already locked onto her position and aura. The Susanoo I left behind was precisely to deal with her when she's weakened."

Kakashi added, "The stone giant won't die until my chakra is exhausted, and I left a Flying Thunder God mark before I left. The mark won't disappear."

In the distance, Kaguya's body unsurprisingly began to regenerate.

However, her chakra grew increasingly unstable.

The Ten-Tails' rage became evident, and Kaguya's body was torn apart, transforming into a monstrous creature with several rabbit heads!

Before her, the stone giant and the blue Susanoo emerged from the ruins.

They charged at the rabbit-headed creature!

The stone giant, being a solid entity, directly grabbed the monstrous rabbit, immobilizing it.

Seizing the opportunity, Obito, controlling Susanoo, launched a long-range attack:

"Kamui—Yasaka Magatama!!!"

The powerful space-time ocular jutsu of Kamui twisted space-time, snapping the rabbit monster's body.

Where the Magatama passed, the rabbit monster's body vanished!

Seeing this, Black Zetsu began taunting Obito again, trying to sow discord:

"The world of Infinite Tsukuyomi is so beautiful, isn't it, Uchiha Obito? As its enforcer, you must see it clearly."

"That world has no darkness, only warmth and light."

"No matter how you betrayed Madara or the ninja world, you can find redemption there."

"So why oppose Mother, who maintains all this?"

"As a traitor, you'll eventually betray your dear friend Uchiha Haneda, just like you betrayed Madara, won't you? Hahaha!"

Before Obito could respond, Naruto's voice rang out.

"Don't you dare mock Obito!"

"And don't you dare mock Uncle Haneda!"

"Uncle Haneda wouldn't misjudge anyone, not ever, and Obito isn't a traitor!!!"

Obito glanced back at Naruto, who was defending him, and saw Naruto blush when their eyes met.

A small smile tugged at Obito's lips before he turned to Kakashi beside him.

"It's time to end this, Kakashi."

"Understood," Kakashi replied, aware that Kaguya, having suffered two severe blows, was now in a very weakened state. This was the perfect moment.

The two used their Flying Thunder God and Kamui to transport themselves to either side of the rabbit-formed Kaguya.

At the instant their palms touched her, the Super Six Paths—Chibaku Tensei was unleashed!

The soil and rocks around the massive crater began to levitate and converge onto the rabbit creature.

More and more material ascended, burying the rabbit entity.

Obito and Kakashi, having transported themselves back to the ground, watched everything unfold.

Naruto and Sasuke, observing all this, looked down at the yang and yin powers in their palms, deep in thought.

Weren't they supposed to be the saviors?

Why does this script feel off?

Wasn't this supposed to depend on us?

Huh???

They exchanged glances once more and eventually chuckled, relieved.

No matter what, the problem was solved!

Who the savior was didn't matter, as long as it wasn't either of them…

That was enough!

"More and more material will strengthen the Chibaku Tensei's seal," Kakashi remarked, turning to Obito standing to his right. "What's your plan, Obito?"

Obito, gazing at the Chibaku Tensei sealing Kaguya, where a somewhat unfamiliar yet familiar figure descended, replied:

"Like him, I've already failed, from the very beginning."

"I'm a complete failure."

"For a failure, watching those with the same dreams succeed can also be a joy."

Kakashi noted, "You still believe in him."

Obito affirmed, "Of course. We grew up together, walked this path together. I understand him well. I've always trusted him."

"It's just that on this path of failure, I was tempted and took a shortcut destined for failure."

"Perhaps one day, I'll walk this seemingly failed path again."

"But that will be after Haneda's failure."

"For now, I just want to watch him, as Rin silently watched over me, as he walks towards success."

With that, Obito used Kamui to teleport to Madara, who was falling from the sky.

He simply stood beside him, watching.

Madara weakly opened his eyes, looking at Obito, with his left eye in Eternal Mangekyō and his right in Rinnegan, rasping:

"I thought it was him, but you're the first to visit me."

Madara looked at Obito, who was healing him, and added:

"He once saved me like this, with his, haha, perhaps you'd call it the power of yang."

"Too bad I'm beyond saving."

Madara tried to push Obito away, but Obito didn't move.

"We are both failures, but we still long for love, don't we?"

The once-arrogant Madara fell silent upon hearing this.

Obito continued, "To be honest, you once treated me like a pawn, controlling me."

"When I learned the truth, I hated you for a while, but I gradually understood you."

"You feared no one would follow you after your death, so you needed a successor."

"But your pride wouldn't allow you to lower yourself, so you treated me as a pawn, yet in the end, you still didn't want to kill me."

"Instead, you wanted to share the dream with me."

Madara asked, "So that's why you're saving me?"

Obito replied, "No, I just want you to witness the later generation realizing our dream."

Madara said, "But you forget, I no longer have love. There's no vessel in this world that can hold me."

"No clansmen are willing to accept me, not even my best friend."

"I have no love, and I don't need love."

"Let me, a complete failure, quietly disappear."

"Madara…" A voice called from the distance. It was Hashirama.

"Hashirama, you…" Madara looked at the non-Edo Tensei Hashirama approaching, who took over from Obito to heal him.

Hashirama explained, "Haneda, that young one, used Rinne Rebirth to revive everyone who died in this war."

"I, who had already passed, was revived along with them. Haha, though I didn't wish for it either."

After laughing for a moment, Hashirama added, "Oh, and Tobirama's alive too."

Hearing that Tobirama was revived, Madara's face instantly fell, but then he burst into laughter:

"Tobirama must be having quite the reaction seeing Uchiha after Uchiha becoming Hokage, huh?"

Hashirama said, "He claims they are naturally kind and outstanding Uchiha, unlike you."

Madara scoffed but said nothing.

At this point, there was nothing more to argue about.

Hashirama continued, "Madara, it's been years since you last visited the village. Let's go see it together."

Madara snorted, "All these years, and you're still thinking about that crappy village, where all they do is take assassination jobs. What's there to see?"

Hashirama replied, "It's different now."

Madara, seeing Hashirama's gaze still fixed on him, hesitated for a moment, then stared into the distance, his head tilting sharply:

"Fine, I'll go back with you."

"There's nothing worth seeing in Konoha."

"Let's go."

Madara tried to lift himself, but his weak body wouldn't obey. In the end, Hashirama helped him up.

The two hobbled off into the distance.
