Two days later, Zetsu returned to the Land of Rain, bringing someone with him to meet Nagato.
The newcomer was a girl with long black hair cascading to her waist, dressed in a blue outfit. White bandages were wrapped around her calves, and she appeared to be around thirteen or fourteen years old. She was strikingly beautiful, but her expression was as cold as ice, exuding a chilling aura that made her seem like a walking block of frost.
"So, these are the Rinnegan?" The girl, Uchi...

Upon closer observation, the differences between them became clear.
The distinction lay in their eyes. One had a shuriken-shaped Mangekyō Sharingan, unmistakably Obito's Kamui. The other's Mangekyō Sharingan pattern matched Akira's—black tomoe connected in a circular formation.
Beyond their eyes, they were identical in every other aspect.
But the difference in their eyes was the most defining factor.
Looking at the two figures, Akira stroked his chin and t...

"This... this is something I will never accept!"
With a furious roar, Akira shattered the stone beneath his feet and charged toward his friend with all his might.
"Heh..." However, just as he took his first step, he heard a faint chuckle from his friend.
At that moment, a seal buried deep within his memories unraveled, and a consciousness long suppressed awakened.
Akira froze as he watched his friend laugh, the sound carrying an eerie, unfamiliar undertone.

The streets of Konohagakure were bustling as Anko walked behind Mirai. Despite her best efforts to stay silent, she couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Hey! Where are you taking me?"
Without turning around, Mirai replied, "First, my name is not 'hey.'"
"Second, I already told you—we're going to find some allies for you."
Anko frowned. "Why do I need allies? I don't need any of those fake bonds."
Hearing this, Mirai stopped abruptly, his voice calm but firm.

In the damp, dark underground laboratory, Hiruzen stood firm, wielding the golden staff transformed from Enma. He led a group of ANBU, cornering Orochimaru in the cavernous hideout.
Cold sweat dripped down Orochimaru's pale forehead, his fatigued expression betraying his struggle.
"Sensei, I must admit, your prowess hasn't dulled over the years," he said, his lips curling into a sardonic smile.
Hiruzen snorted coldly. "Orochimaru, you've strayed too far from the path."

A crowd approached in the distance.
Obito raised an arm and placed an orange mask over his face. He stood silently, exuding an air of aloofness.
After a brief conversation with Nagato, Yahiko left him and Konan behind and walked toward Obito. Upon seeing the mask, Yahiko raised an eyebrow.
"Obito, what's with the mask?" he asked, puzzled.
Obito waved a hand, signaling Yahiko to lower his voice.
"Yahiko-senpai, I'd prefer to keep my identity under wraps for now," ...

The border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass.
In a vast underground palace, Madara sat on a stone throne with his eyes closed, listening to Black Zetsu recount the events of the recent mission. His hand rhythmically tapped against his thigh, but his face betrayed no emotion.
After a long pause, Madara opened his eyes, a glint of sharp light flashing through them.
"So, you're saying that an unknown individual rescued Nagato and the others from the hands of Amegak...

Obito's words were undeniably true. Extracting some of the Rinnegan's ocular power would benefit both sides without causing harm. The only small deception he employed was concealing the existence of his system.
Moved by Obito's sincere demeanor, Yahiko stopped questioning and turned to Nagato.
"Nagato, what do you think?"
Nagato responded without hesitation.
"I agree! Take it! Take it from me!"
He had long grown weary of a life he couldn't control.

"...You're suggesting we dig out Nagato's eyes?"
Obito's expression didn't waver as his gaze shifted to Nagato, standing quietly beside him.
It wasn't just Nagato—neither Konan nor Yahiko seemed wary of him either. If he wanted, he could easily strike them down in an instant. Yahiko and Konan, with their backs turned, would be defenseless. Then, taking Nagato's life and plucking out his Rinnegan would be child's play.
If he buried the three of them here in Amegakure, no on...

"Me? Not at all."
Hearing Mei's response, Genji chuckled lightly. "It's about that Uchiha kid, isn't it?"
Mei's eyes widened in shock.

Genji's tone remained calm. "That guy is undeniably handsome, but he's a dangerous individual through and through. You'd be wise to keep your distance."
Mei fell silent at his words.
He wasn't wrong—Uchiha Mirai was dangerous. Someone like him, no matter how perfectly he f...

Terumi Mei remained in place, pouting. After a long pause, she let out a soft humph.

Muttering to herself for a bit, Mei eventually decided not to follow him. She had long heard about the Uchiha clan's stubbornness, and today confirmed it.

As time passed, Akira's spirit body gradually grew faint, while the orb of light before him slowly morphed into a humanoid form identical to his own.
Of course, compared to his original spirit body, this newly formed counterpart appeared much weaker and more fragile.
Soon, the process was complete. Akira reached out to his split body, infusing it with memories meticulously prepared in advance. He had modeled this doppelgänger's personality on Obito, striving to replicate his trai...

Akira had long since devised a plan to awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan. The solution? Stage a deeply personal, theatrical performance.
Naturally, he wouldn't be the protagonist of this play but rather the one who orchestrates it—splitting off a part of his spiritual essence to create another "self." This spiritual clone would possess memories and personality traits carefully tailored by Akira himself.

Black Zetsu nodded and said, "That's right. The Sage of Six Paths' younger brother. In fact, the immortal and indestructible Ten-Tails was not defeated by the Sage of Six Paths alone but through the combined efforts of him and his brother."

Land of Rain, Amegakure.
"There's news from Konoha. Madara-sama has been spotted in the Hyūga Clan's territory…" White Zetsu emerged halfway from the ground, reporting the latest intelligence respectfully.
White Zetsu's stealth abilities were unparalleled in the current ninja world, making it virtually impossible for anyone to detect him. As a result, they were able to gather most of the ninja world's information, serving as the best intelligence operatives.

Mei stepped out of the barbecue restaurant, now holding several skewers of three-colored dango purchased from a nearby sweets shop. As she savored the treats, a blissful expression spread across her face.

Kakashi nearly choked on his own breath when he heard Mirai's casual remark. Of all things, this was the last response he'd expected. Shouldn't this be the moment for encouragement, motivation, and rekindling his fighting spirit?
Rin stifled a giggle at Kakashi's bewildered expression. For some reason, being around Mirai always seemed to make her momentarily forget her troubles.

Yahiko struggled to lift himself from Obito's arms, staggering toward Konan.
"Konan! Are you okay?"
"I… I'm fine…" she replied weakly, though her head was buzzing incessantly.
Unable to stand, Konan collapsed into Yahiko's arms, completely drained. Meanwhile, Nagato, who had unleashed that terrifying power moments ago, appeared utterly spent. His legs gave out, and he fell limply toward the ground.
Thankfully, Obito rushed over just in time, catching him in his arm...

Yahiko remained silent, quietly processing the information Obito had provided.
Years ago, Yuki had vanished without a trace. Some claimed the royal family had hidden her away, others believed Hanzo had eliminated her.
"I never expected her to end up in Konohagakure…" Konan murmured softly.
Obito sighed.
"She probably left because she had lost all hope for the Land of Rain—perhaps even despair. That's why she chose to go."
The three lowered their heads, their ...

Obito spoke calmly, without a hint of urgency.
"This is simple. Wait here for a moment."
With that, he clapped his hands together and entered Sage Mode.
The orange eyeshadow and toad-like pupils were unmistakable features.
"How about this? Isn't this enough to prove my identity?" he said smugly.
However, the three in front of him—Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato—looked utterly confused.
Konan tilted her head and asked bluntly,

By the time Mirai left Tajima's room, it was already late into the night.
The head, who had led the Uchiha clan for decades, passed away quietly on an ordinary evening.
Mirai felt a twinge of emotion. Human life was so brief and fragile—it was no wonder Orochimaru was so obsessed with immortality.
Though Tajima was Fugaku's father, Mirai didn't hold any resentment toward him. In fact, Tajima's approach was entirely different from Fugaku's. Back when Mirai was still growing...
