Chapter 288: Obito and Madara's Reunion
Chapter 288: Obito and Madara's Reunion
The foundation of the Limited Tsukuyomi World was the true self.
With the arrival of Hayata Gengetsu in this world, he naturally became the protagonist, deeply connected to this world.
Only in this way could he experience everything here.
And only by forging deeper bonds would his downfall be assured.
As for the original protagonist of the Limited Tsukuyomi World, it was because he felt abandoned and stripped of everything that "Hayata Gengetsu" developed an intense loathing for his true self.
Of course, neither version of Hayata Gengetsu would be swayed by these sudden emotions.
The reason for the confrontation was simple.
It was a rejection of fate.
"Jubi-level in the Six Paths... In this world, I can have a preview of what's to come."
Although he had arrived in this world involuntarily, Hayata Gengetsu discovered some advantages.
For example, meeting his clan again and experiencing the Jubi preview.
"I wonder how much of the Six Paths' power can be displayed in the Limited Tsukuyomi World."
Hayata Gengetsu looked at Haru, who was playing beside him, and his heart was filled with anticipation.
On the other side.
With Hayata Ruri's order, the once peaceful ninja world was thrown into turmoil once more.
"Capture the tailed beasts? Perfect, the One-Tail is right here in the Land of Wind. I'll go capture it now."
Senju Hashirama, who had been planting trees in the Land of Wind, received the mission without complaint. Knowing that Hayata Gengetsu wouldn't betray an old friend, and with the mission offering a generous reward, he immediately set out to capture the One-Tail, a simple task for someone of his caliber.
At the same time, Higetsu Ryuunosuke, the current head of the Taketori clan in the Land of Mist, smiled excitedly:
"Time to fight again!"
He wasn't concerned about the amount of the reward; the chance to battle a powerful enemy and earn a reward was something he relished.
Uzumaki Ashina, on the other hand, was somewhat reluctant. Being older now, he preferred to spend more time with his family.
But thinking of his granddaughter by Hayata Gengetsu's side, he could only sigh and continue taking on dangerous missions.
"Tailed beasts? A perfect opportunity to gauge my current strength."
Dressed in the blue Uchiha clan's outfit, Madara Uchiha casually tossed aside the letter in his hand, and his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan eyes, filled with eagerness despite a hint of reluctance, looked toward the direction of the Hayata clan.
In the end, he picked up his fiery fan and strode away.
Having been defeated by Hayata Gengetsu, Madara had never forgotten his desire to avenge that loss.
A battle against the tailed beasts would be a good way to measure his progress.
Since that was the case, he would do it.
Time passed.
The long-awaited peace continued in the Limited Tsukuyomi World.
However, unbeknownst to most, a storm was brewing beneath the surface.
In the eastern seas, waves crashed violently; in the mysterious mountains and forests, boulders tumbled down incessantly; and in the vibrant fields of flowers, the sound of flapping wings deafened. One after another, top-notch battles in the ninja world were taking place.
Among them were battles between humans and tailed beasts, as well as humans against humans.
"The tailed beasts' strength is a bit weaker than I imagined."
Obito Uchiha stood amidst scalding steam that corroded everything around him, gazing at the Five-Tails before him—a fusion of a dolphin and a horse, panting heavily—and spoke calmly.
Beside him, Black Zetsu was unsurprised. "After all, it's a world under the Limited Tsukuyomi technique. It's normal for the tailed beasts to be weaker than their real-world counterparts."
"If the tailed beasts are like this, then what about people?" Obito Uchiha thought of "Hayata Gengetsu."
Black Zetsu: "That guy is a bit special. Also..."
Suddenly, Black Zetsu paused.
He turned his head and narrowed his eyes, speaking with an enigmatic tone, "If you truly want to know how people fare, well, now is a good time to test that."
"What do you mean?"
Obito Uchiha was perplexed.
Suddenly, he sensed something and turned to look as well.
Uchiha Obito's heart skipped a beat as he slowly spoke.
Although he had only seen Madara in his elderly state, Obito instantly recognized the man who had left him a substantial inheritance—to be precise, the man without whom he would not be who he was today.
And this was Uchiha Madara in his prime, at the peak of his power.
Even though the current Madara was not the same as the one Obito was familiar with, Obito did not dare to underestimate him.
He quickly asked, "Zetsu, does Madara recognize you at this point in time?"
Black Zetsu spread his hands out. "That would be several decades from now. I haven't even been born yet in this timeline."
"In that case, it looks like we'll have to fight," Uchiha Obito said, his eyes narrowing.
It was clear that Uchiha Madara had come for the tailed beasts as well.
This was perfect, as it would give him an opportunity to gauge Madara's strength and prepare for potential future encounters.
Soon enough,
Uchiha Madara strode up to Obito and Black Zetsu, glanced at them casually, and without bothering to ask any questions, said coldly:
"Leave, or die."
Hearing this, Obito turned to Black Zetsu and asked, "Was Uchiha Madara always like this?"
He remembered that the elderly Madara had been quite patient when teaching him.
Black Zetsu shrugged. "He's being quite polite, actually. If you go further into the future, he won't even bother with words like these."
"Oh? In that case, I should feel quite honored,"
Obito said, and with a flick of his sleeve, a chain appeared in his hand.
Uchiha Madara's expression did not change.
"Since you've made your choice,"
Uchiha Madara hooked his right hand behind the fan on his back, a smirk playing on his lips as he said,
"Then dance to your heart's content! Entertain me!"
A deafening explosion shook the ground.
The battle had begun.
Half an hour later.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The majestic Complete Body Susanoo unleashed its full power, causing the mountains to tremble and the earth to shake as Uchiha Obito dodged and weaved to avoid the attacks.
When he finally retreated back into the Kamui dimension, Black Zetsu, who had taken shelter there earlier, let out a chuckle and asked, "So, how strong is Madara?"
Obito remained silent.
"This isn't even his strongest state," Black Zetsu continued. "His Rinnegan hasn't evolved yet, and even the power he's displaying now is somewhat weaker than it should be."
"Obito, your judgment is correct," Black Zetsu said. "The tailed beasts and people in this world are indeed weaker overall."
Obito continued to say nothing.
If even a weaker Madara could force him to flee, what did that make him?
Black Zetsu looked at Obito, who seemed to be wallowing in self-pity, and shook his head inwardly.
This was why, despite Obito's impressive achievements, he still considered Madara to be a crucial part of his plans.
Madara was just too powerful.
Black Zetsu didn't elaborate further on this topic and instead reminded Obito, "Don't forget, our main task right now is to capture the tailed beasts, Obito."
Obito straightened up, nodded, and said, "I've led Madara astray for now. I'll capture the Five-Tails."
As soon as he finished speaking, Obito began to move through the Kamui dimension.
With a twist of space, he reappeared next to the unconscious Five-Tails.
Before Uchiha Madara could sense something amiss and rush over, Obito activated the Kamui in his right eye, absorbing the Five-Tails into the Kamui dimension.
Without waiting for Uchiha Madara's Complete Body Susanoo and its massive sword to strike, he followed the tailed beast into the dimension.
In the end, all that was left was Uchiha Madara, looking annoyed as he stared at the now-empty space in front of him.
