Uchiha Obito once again stood before Uchiha Madara.

Meanwhile, Chiba continued to observe the entire process through the snakes he left behind.

After Uchiha Madara showed a willingness to cooperate, he ignored the snakes in the cave, seemingly allowing Chiba to observe.

Chiba also understood that Uchiha Madara wanted to influence him by influencing Uchiha Obito.

Uchiha Obito looked at Uchiha Madara on the seat and asked, "Tell me how to create the world of dreams, Madara!"

Uchiha Madara smiled, "No need for your thanks, come here. From today on, you are the savior. Look into my eyes!"

Uchiha Obito stood before Uchiha Madara.

Uchiha Madara's Sharingan rotated, and Uchiha Obito, along with the snakes Chiba was observing through, entered the genjutsu world.

In a pure white space, Uchiha Madara said to Uchiha Obito, "This is my genjutsu space. Although it's still a blank slate, I can create and control everything by projecting my will. As long as I connect to the Demonic Statue and borrow its power, I can do anything, no matter how big or small, just like this..."

Uchiha Madara's appearance instantly changed from old age to youth.

Uchiha Obito was a little surprised.

Uchiha Madara continued, "Use this genjutsu to create the ideal world, then just cast genjutsu on all of humanity and bring them in. Use the moon to replace this eye, expand the scale of this jutsu, and you can create the world of dreams."

Uchiha Obito frowned, "What you're saying is too exaggerated. I can't digest it yet."

"To explain, first... we must start with the Sage of Six Paths and the Ten-Tails."

Uchiha Madara used genjutsu to make a huge stone wall appear.

On the stone wall were the Sage of Six Paths and the Ten-Tails.

Uchiha Obito asked in confusion, "Isn't the Ten-Tails a legendary creature?"

Uchiha Madara explained, "Myths have their factual basis. The Tailed Beasts scattered across the world were formed from the power of the Ten-Tails, which was split by the Sage of Six Paths."

Uchiha Obito was a little surprised, "Is there any evidence to prove that this statement is true?"

Uchiha Madara affirmed, "Yes. After obtaining Senju Hashirama's cells, I transplanted them onto my wound. At first, nothing happened, until just before I died, I awakened the Rinnegan. But at the same time, a certain seal was also undone. I learned to summon something, and from the seal stone, I summoned the Ten-Tails' shell."

"The Ten-Tails' shell?"

"I call it the Gedo Statue, and that seal stone is what people call the moon."

Uchiha Obito's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

Uchiha Madara ignored Uchiha Obito's expression and continued to explain, "After that, I immediately used the Demonic Statue's body as a medium to cultivate Hashirama cells. In other words, these artificial humans can also be considered clones of Hashirama, though they are quite degraded.

Without both Uchiha and Senju powers, one cannot awaken the Rinnegan, let alone control the Demonic Statue. Your right half contains Senju cells, so even without awakening the Rinnegan, you should be able to control the Demonic Statue.

My Rinnegan is currently on a person named Nagato. I need you to find Nagato, subdue him, and make him serve you."

After the genjutsu was dispelled.

Uchiha Madara said to Uchiha Obito, "Obito, I will teach you the Uchiha's forbidden jutsu, the Six Paths Jutsu, and the Yin-Yang Release Jutsu..."

Uchiha Madara placed his hand on the White Zetsu beside him.

Half of White Zetsu's body turned black, and Black Zetsu officially appeared.

"I have injected my will into it. You can consider half of it as me. This is also a degraded product. You can use these guys created with Yin-Yang Release as your pawns."

Uchiha Madara formed a hand seal, and a black rod appeared from the tree wall behind him.

"That black rod is the physical manifestation of my consciousness. You can use it when performing the Six Paths Jutsu."

Uchiha Madara walked a few steps forward and tore off the pipe connected to the Demonic Statue.

Uchiha Madara immediately became breathless and extremely weak.

"Alright, go. During this period before my revival, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Madara died on the seat.

Uchiha Obito looked at the deceased Uchiha Madara and had White Zetsu cover his face again.

"Let's go, Zetsu."

Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu left the cave.

After Uchiha Obito left, the supposedly deceased Uchiha Madara gradually became illusory until he disappeared.

The one who had died in front of Uchiha Obito just now was merely a genjutsu Uchiha Madara had cast on Uchiha Obito.

Uchiha Madara looked at the snake peeking from the corner, "I'll wait for you here."

...

Chiba closed his visual sharing and opened the system.

A series of notification sounds rang in Chiba's ears.

【Witnessed Rin Nohara's death, rewarded 500 Witness Points.】

【Witnessed Uchiha Obito awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, rewarded 500 Witness Points.】

【Witnessed Uchiha Obito's blackening, rewarded 1000 Witness Points.】

【Witnessed Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito's plan, rewarded 200 Witness Points.】

...

The quantity wasn't large, but it was quite considerable when added up.

Chiba stood up and murmured, "Then I'll come to see you."

Chiba found Orochimaru, asked for leave, and rushed to the Mountain Graveyard.

A few days later.

Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu arrived at Hidden Rain Village.

"See that yellow-haired eye? That's Madara's true eye, secretly transplanted when he was young. Nagato is from the Uzumaki Clan, and the Uzumaki Clan is a distant relative of the Senju. Besides Madara, he is the only one who can summon the Gedo Statue.

However, that's just a puppet, not the real Nagato. First, as Madara said, subdue Nagato..."

Uchiha Obito walked directly forward.

Zetsu asked in confusion, "Eh, what do you want to do?"

Uchiha Obito replied, "Just tell the truth."

"Uh... do you want to formulate a strategy...?"

"No need."

Uchiha Obito walked up to the yellow-haired Pain.

This yellow-haired Pain looked exactly like Yahiko.

Of course, Yahiko is still alive now. This Yahiko is just Nagato changing his appearance to look like Yahiko.

Pain frowned slightly, looking at Uchiha Obito, "Who are you?"

Uchiha Obito said to Nagato in Uchiha Madara's voice, "Uchiha Madara!"

Pain looked at Uchiha Obito with cold eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Madara? Then what is your purpose in approaching me, you who dare to call yourself Uchiha Madara?"

"The Rinnegan. Guiding those who awaken the Rinnegan correctly is the mission our organization has carried since ancient times!"
