Chapter 65.2 : Uchiha Obito!

[Ranked 15th on the Eye Technique List: Obito Uchiha, possessing the right eye of the Mangekyō Sharingan, wields formidable abilities such as observation, replication, and illusions. 

He is proficient in the use of Kamui Hollow techniques, which allow him to phase through attacks and transfer targeted areas to a different dimension, effectively avoiding attacks and overcoming barriers. 

However, this ability comes with a limitation; it can only be used for a short time, with a cooldown of five minutes.]

"Damn, why explain everything so thoroughly and reveal my weakness of five minutes?" Obito Uchiha muttered.

This introduction had the attention of everyone present.

[Fourth Raikage: Hollow, an ability that can disregard attacks; it's a frightening power. Additionally, the capacity to hide in different dimensions is incredibly potent. No wonder he's ranked so high.]

[Fourth Hokage: Over a decade ago, a masked man infiltrated Konoha and unleashed the Nine-Tails during my wife's vulnerable moment in childbirth. 

That man was the masked assailant. I initially believed it to be Uchiha Madara, but various factors cast doubt on this notion. 

The Akatsuki, at present, has a masked individual who appears in future events. Although we've exposed some of the Akatsuki's members, it's possible that others will join in the future, and that masked man has Hollow's capabilities, mirroring Obito's. 

Obito, the one who controlled the Nine-Tails and triggered the Nine-Tails Rebellion over a decade ago, is it you?]

[Kakashi: What? Obito is the one who killed our sensei and his wife? It can't be! Minato-sensei, you always treated Obito so well; how could he have done such a thing? Furthermore, Obito couldn't have been that powerful back then!]

[Fourth Hokage: Unless Madara didn't truly perish, and he passed on his Sharingan to Obito. 

The Nine-Tails once mentioned that the one who controlled it bore a strong resemblance to Uchiha Madara, making it highly likely that Obito possesses Madara's ocular abilities. 

Moreover, Obito possesses Madara's Gunbai. Initially, I thought it was just a fortuitous acquisition, but now it seems that Madara bequeathed it to Obito. 

Furthermore, Obito survived a boulder crushing him, which should have been fatal. Someone must have come to his aid. It's quite probable that Madara saved Obito at that time and nurtured him. 

Even if my assumptions are inaccurate, only Obito has the potential to wield Hollow's abilities.]

[Tsunade: Minato is right; one of the Akatsuki's members is Obito, and the likelihood of the masked man being Obito is nearly 100%. We were reluctant to accept it before and chose not to believe it. After all who would guess the kind Obito would kill his own sensei and his wife.]

[Kakashi: Obito, are you the masked man who killed our sensei?]

[Obito Uchiha: Yes, and what of it?」

[Kakashi: Our sensei was kind to you, why would you do this? Konoha never wronged you, why?]

[Obito Uchiha: Hahaha, Kakashi, who are you to judge me? I asked you to protect Rin, yet she still died, and it was under your watch. Why, I ask?]

[Nohara Rin: Obito, I sacrificed myself for Konoha. I didn't want to be used to attack Konoha and bring destruction to it. That's why I asked Kakashi to kill me. Kakashi didn't want to, so I threw myself into his Chidori while he was battling, ending my own life. You can't blame Kakashi for this.]

[Obito Uchiha: Hahaha, all for Konoha, yes, that's right. You died, and those people in Konoha lived. Why should they live, and why should you die for them? Kakashi didn't protect you; he's nothing but a failure! And Minato-sensei, you didn't either. I despise this world; I loathe everything.]

[Fourth Raikage: What a dramatic revelation! I never expected Minato Namikaze's student to be the true perpetrator! If Namikaze Minato were alive today, his power would be truly terrifying!]

[Tsunade: Obito, you killed your own teacher; you're a monster!]

[Jiraiya: So, the culprit behind the Nine-Tails Rebellion is Uchiha Obito!]

[Senju Hashirama: Unbelievable. The Uchiha clan's thought process is warped. Rin sacrificed herself to protect Konoha, and you sought vengeance on your master, his wife, and Konoha. You're nothing short of a villain! You're worse than a beast. If I were alive, I'd crush you without hesitation!]

[Senju Hashirama: This individual has hidden so cunningly for so long. Madara, you've truly nurtured a talent!]

[Uchiha Madara: This has nothing to do with me; I don't know anything.]

At this point, Uchiha Madara naturally denied any involvement. Even if they had their suspicions, he would not confess.

[Senju Hashirama: Deny it all you want, you're the mastermind behind the scenes!]

(Third Tsuchikage: The Akatsuki is indeed a collection of rogues. Uchiha Itachi murdered his family and clan, Uchiha Obito killed his sensei and his wife, and even though Sasori is deceased, it must be said that he too killed Third Kazekge. Kakuzu is another traitor, and Orochimaru, who killed his mentor, was once a member of the Akatsuki organization.]

The Akatsuki assembles all sorts of miscreants!"

[Hidan: Old Man Third Tsuchikage, dare you say that to our Akatsuki organization? Just wait, one day you'll meet your end at my hands!]

[Nohara Rin: Please, stop scolding Obito. Obito ended up like this because of me!]

Reading this, Obito's heart warmed. At least, Rin didn't scold him; that was enough. As for others' criticisms, he couldn't care less.

Many people scolded Obito, but after scrolling through, no one continued the onslaught. After all, it was pointless, and the fourteenth place on the Eye Technique List was just announced.

[The 14th place on the Eye Technique List: Uchiha Madara, possessing the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, with remarkable abilities like observation, copying, hypnosis, and the ability to manifest a full-body Susanoo...]

[Senju Hashirama: Madara, weren't you supposed to have the Rinnegan? When you're reincarnated in the future, you should have the Rinnegan. How did you end up with the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan?]

[Fourth Raikage: It's truly bizarre. The gold list doesn't lie, which means Madara indeed had the Rinnegan. However, now it displays the Eternal Mangekyō, and the Rinnegan from the video has disappeared!]

[Nara Shikaku: It can't just disappear; it must be in someone else's possession. If these eyes were destroyed, it would mean the Rinnegan now belongs to Madara. But if they were transplanted to someone else, it means that the Rinnegan belongs to someone else and is no longer Madara's, unless Madara reclaims it.]

[Tsunade: Hanzo stated that Nagato possesses the Rinnegan, and Nagato is the leader of the Akatsuki organization. So, is Nagato's Rinnegan originally from Uchiha Madara?]

[Jiraiya: Tsunade's assumption is probably correct. Nagato is my disciple, and he has the Rinnegan. It's still perplexing. 

The Rinnegan is the eye of the Sage of Six Paths. Even though Nagato is a member of the Uzumaki clan and has the Sage of Six Paths' blood, it shouldn't be possible to awaken the Rinnegan directly. 

How could the Rinnegan emerge so easily? If it was Madara, it would make sense. Madara originally possessed the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, so it's plausible that the Rinnegan was obtained by chance. 

Before his death, Madara would not have discarded his Rinnegan, and it's most likely that he transplanted it to someone else. This person is likely my former disciple, Nagato!]
