Gaara stared gloomily at the video, especially at his future self.
His small face remained cold and expressionless, with not the slightest hint of emotion.
No one knew what he was thinking.
As for the shinobi of the Land of Wind, after their brief moment of shock, they also accepted the fact that Gaara would become the Kazekage.
Then, everyone continued watching the video intently.
In the video, the Fourth Raikage was surrounded by lightning.
Like an arrow released from a bow, he suddenly charged toward Tobi!
Tobi simply stood where he was, Sasuke slung over his shoulder, without moving an inch.
With a thunderous boom!
Under everyone’s astonished gazes, the Fourth Raikage actually passed straight through Tobi’s body and crashed into the wooden wall!
It was as though the Tobi standing there had no physical body and was merely an illusion.
The next scene in the video left everyone present staring wide-eyed in shock!
A strange power suddenly erupted from the hole in the spiral mask Tobi was wearing, twisting the very space around it.
It actually sucked the unconscious Sasuke inside!
Immediately afterward, Tobi’s figure flashed, and he appeared beside a red-haired woman, sucking her inside as well.
Within the alternate dimension, a sharp glint flashed through the Third Hokage’s eyes as he muttered, “A Space-Time Ninjutsu?”
Kakashi also became serious.
From the looks of it, this man named Tobi was indeed a troublesome opponent.
But merely possessing a Space-Time Ninjutsu didn’t seem sufficient to qualify him to declare war on the entire Shinobi World, did it?
The other shinobi had their own thoughts as well.
Filled with tremendous curiosity, they continued watching the video.
In the video,
Tobi’s figure flashed, and he appeared on a raised platform.
He seemed extremely relaxed, even sitting down directly as he faced the Five Kage.
Onoki spoke in the video.
“Uchiha Madara, you’re still alive? Why exactly are you resorting to all these schemes? Someone like you should be able to simply accomplish whatever goal you have directly, shouldn’t you?”
Tobi replied,
“I was severely wounded during my battle with the First Hokage and lost my power. The current me is nothing more than a shell.”
“And I… need you to hand over the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails!”
Tobi then began explaining his Eye of the Moon Plan.
“I will combine the power of the One-Tails through Nine-Tails and turn them into the Ten-Tails!”
“And I will become the Ten-Tails’ jinchuriki myself, using it to strengthen my ocular powers. Then, I will cast a massive genjutsu from the moon and control everyone in the Shinobi World!”
“Under my control, this will become a perfect world without war or ugliness. Everyone will become one with me. I will be everything!”
“So, what do you say, everyone?”
“Are you willing to hand over the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails in exchange for eternal peace?”
Gaara said, “Impossible! I won’t hand over the Nine-Tails to you!”
The Fourth Raikage also roared, “And I won’t hand over my little brother!”
“Very well!”
Tobi stood up and slowly spoke, his tone filled with indifference.
“Then there is only one choice left: war. Although I have lost my own power, I possess the power of the One-Tails through Seven-Tails! You will not be able to defeat me.”
“The Fourth Shinobi World War—I hereby declare it!”
“Next time, we’ll meet on the battlefield.”
With that, a spatial ripple emerged from the hole in Tobi’s spiral mask, sucking him inside as well and allowing him to leave the Five Kage Summit.
The video abruptly ended there.
Within the alternate dimension, every shinobi watching the video was left utterly stunned.
Their hearts churned like raging waves, and it took a long time for them to calm down.
The Eye of the Moon Plan?
The legendary Uchiha Madara?
Possessing the power of the One-Tails through Seven-Tails and declaring war on the entire Shinobi World?
The amount of information contained within this video was simply enormous!
Konoha Village.
Danzo was the first to notice something wrong.
The Third Hokage nodded.
“That’s right. Just who is this Tobi? From what I saw in the video, he seems to possess the Sharingan.”
Danzo said solemnly, “Could he be a surviving member of the Uchiha clan?”
Over on the Akatsuki’s side,
Pain, Konan, Kisame, and Uchiha Itachi all looked toward Tobi.
They were among the few members of the Akatsuki who had been led to believe that Tobi was Uchiha Madara.
And until now, they had firmly believed that to be true.
But now, all of them began to doubt it.
Their thoughts were similar to Danzo’s.
Judging from the Lord of the Myriad Worlds’ response, Tobi…
was definitely not Uchiha Madara!
Then who exactly was he?
Why was he pretending to be Uchiha Madara and acting under his identity?
Pain, controlled by Nagato, stared coldly at Tobi and spoke indifferently.
“Didn’t you say that you were gathering the Tailed Beasts to create Tailed Beast weapons, using their overwhelming combat power to intimidate the various nations and achieve peace?”
“But it seems that you’re actually trying to create the Ten-Tails you mentioned and use it to carry out your Eye of the Moon Plan.”
Nagato himself had not been pulled into the alternate dimension.
In fact, among the Six Paths of Pain he controlled, only the Deva Path had been dragged into the alternate dimension.
At this moment, realizing that he had been deceived, Nagato was filled with immense fury.
He controlled the Deva Path and raised his hand within the alternate dimension, preparing to use Almighty Push to attack Tobi!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The next moment!
The Third Hokage, the Fourth Raikage, Onoki, and Mei Terumi also appeared around Tobi at the same time, surrounding him completely!
