Sasuke looked at Obito's cold, matter-of-fact expression and delivered the final blow: "You say you want to create a world with Rin. Then why don't you revive her?"
The cold expression on Obito's face instantly froze.
"You know about the Rinnegan. You know about Edo Tensei. You know about the Outer Path: Rinne Tensei Technique. Theoretically, you have the ability to bring her back to this world."
Sasuke stepped closer, his gaze sharp as a blade: "Answer me. Why haven't you done it?"
Obito opened his mouth, a 'heh heh' sound coming from his throat, but he couldn't utter a single word.
His eye began to flicker. Beneath the madness and coldness, the fear and cowardice he had forcibly suppressed for over a decade, the ones he himself dared not face, vaguely emerged.
"You dare not!" Sasuke answered for him. "You deliberately avoid this. You dare not revive Nohara Rin."
"Because you know that a kind, pure, world-loving girl like Nohara Rin, if she knew what you've done all these years..."
"Knew about your heinous crimes: killing your teacher, massacring your clan, starting wars, causing countless deaths and suffering... she would find even a single glance at you disgusting!"
"A scumbag like you, thrown even into a toilet, would pollute the cesspool. Your very existence is the greatest filth in this world!"
"You... what did you say..." Obito gritted his teeth, completely broken.
He could endure anyone's curses, but he absolutely could not bear Rin's disappointment in him.
"I said you're a coward, a timid wretch, a beast, scum..." Sasuke continued.
"Aaah! I'll kill you!" Obito suddenly looked up, his scarred face twisted like a demon's, his Chakra going berserk like an erupting volcano.
"Kill me?" Sasuke sneered. "With your dead-last abilities?"
Obito let out a bestial roar: "Aaaah! You forced me into this!"
"All of you, and this decaying world, just all perish!" He suddenly plucked out his own Sharingan and then implanted the Rinnegan.
The intense pain made his body convulse, but the expression on his face grew even more crazed.
"Now, I will become the new Sage of Six Paths! I will use this power to crush you, crush everything!"
His hands swiftly formed hand seals. The ground exploded.
He summoned the Gedo Statue here. The Gedo Statue had already absorbed the One-Tail through Eight-Tails, as well as the Yin Nine-Tails within Minato's body. It was no longer just an empty shell.
"What is this?"
"I have a bad feeling. Stop him quickly!"
Although the Raikage, Tsuchikage, and others were shocked by Obito's madness and the sudden appearance of this terrifying creation, their combat instincts made them react immediately, attempting to attack Obito and interfere with the technique.
But it was too late.
Obito absorbed this incomplete Ten-Tails into his body at top speed. A terrifying aura surged into the sky.
Madara, hiding in the shadows, frowned slightly, 'This bastard actually wanted to push me aside and become the Sage of Six Paths himself.'
'Though it's an incomplete Ten-Tails, Obito's mental fortitude is too weak. And now, he's been provoked nearly to madness. There's no way he can control such power.'
As expected, Obito's body began to unnaturally swell and distort, almost turning into a giant oversized maggot.
Behind him grew several malformed limbs, like tentacles, thrashing wildly.
His head also began to distort, his features shifting, his forehead bulging and splitting open, revealing a bloody vertical pupil that was a hybrid of the Sharingan and Rinnegan.
"Ugh! So disgusting!"
"What is this monster?"
Many Ninjas felt a wave of revulsion. This monster was too disgusting.
But Obito felt no discomfort at all, laughing maniacally: "Power... limitless power! Hahahaha!"
The monster Obito looked up and roared. Just the sound waves alone blew off the remaining roof of the hall, causing countless Ninja to bleed from their ears and noses, staggering backward.
He casually swung one of his malformed arms, swatting at the crowd.
"Earth Release: Golem Technique!" Onoki summoned a stone golem, but the moment it touched the arm, it collapsed like a sandcastle.
"Lightning Release: Lariat!" The Raikage's full-powered attack was like crashing into an immovable mountain. He himself was sent flying back by the recoil, spitting blood.
"Sand Shield!" Gaara's absolute defense lasted only half a second before being covered in cracks.
Mei's Lava Release and Boil Release were instantly evaporated.
Everyone present was in disbelief. With a single attack, all the Kage were completely suppressed.
Facing such a grave situation, the Five Great Ninja Villages united.
The Fourth Raikage, covered in blood, the light of his Lightning Release Chakra Mode much diminished, still charged at the monster again and again like a tireless tiger.
He tried to tear through its defenses with his indestructible physical strength, but was repeatedly sent flying by more ferocious tentacles.
Onoki gasped for breath, the light of his Dust Release flickering.
His Detachment of the Primitive World Technique could effectively damage parts of the monster's body, but the monster's regeneration was astonishingly fast.
Moreover, the monster's immense body and chaotic energy field made it difficult for the Dust Release to lock onto its core.
Mei and Gaara were also in a difficult position.
Their Kekkei Genkai were clearly inferior to Kekkei Tota, and their threat to the monster was quite limited.
The Elite Jonin of the Five Great Nations were like leaves in a storm, only able to use their lives as currency, on the periphery, using their own flesh and blood to slow the monster's advance.
On this desperate battlefield, where the scales were so heavily tipped, only Sasuke remained standing at the very forefront of the fight against the monster.
His greatest reliance was his Tattoo, honed to the extreme.
Though it couldn't completely immunize him against the monster Obito's attacks, it was enough for him to fight him head-on.
His Taijutsu displayed power beyond human limits.
The majestic roar of the [Rozan Shoryuha] would sound from time to time. The silver energy dragon would surge upwards, often blowing apart one of the monster's tentacles or a part of its body, causing it to temporarily disintegrate.
Though it couldn't cause fatal damage, it always interrupted the monster's attack rhythm, creating precious opportunities for the other Kage to catch their breath and counterattack.
Seeing this, many were dumbfounded, 'Since when did the Uchiha Clan, renowned throughout the Ninja World for their Dojutsu, possess such powerful Taijutsu?'
Even Uchiha Madara, observing from the shadows, was momentarily confused, 'Was this a descendant of the Uchiha Clan?'
Supported by Sasuke's unbelievably resilient defense and sharp counterattacks, along with the four Kage's desperate assistance, ignoring casualties, and the precious openings bought by other Ninjas with their lives...
They miraculously managed to temporarily halt the monster's advance.
Though the situation was still precarious and casualties were heavy, at least there was no immediate, complete collapse.
"Roar!" The monster Obito let out an agitated roar.
Its eyes fixed on Sasuke, but Sasuke's Tattoo defense and agile movements made its chaotic attacks repeatedly miss.
"Kill them... absorb... complete..." Amidst the chaotic thoughts, a shred of Obito's remaining sanity prevailed.
Its gaze shifted away from Sasuke, sweeping across the battlefield.
It finally locked onto the orange figure on the flank, who was coordinating with Sasuke, continuously harassing and attacking with various Rasengan and Shadow Clones.
