Chapter 58 Chapter 58 You Are Me
What is Obito to him?
Ban lowered his eyes, and it was unclear what emotion was in them.
In the beginning, he was indeed the tool he chose.
But when did some different emotions come into play?
Maybe it was the two years underground when they took care of and relied on each other?
Or was it even earlier, when he first saw that enthusiastic, sunny, kind girl in the village, who looked so much like him, yet was the extreme contrast?
Obito is his past, and he is also guided by him towards his future.
"You are Madara, and you are me."
After a long time, Madara said the words he had said to Obito before his death.
I can't remember what kind of mood I was in when I said this, but now when I mention it again, it seems like a lifetime ago.
But Obito couldn't understand everything Madara said.
He only felt a huge sense of absurdity emerging from the bottom of his heart.
Madara had already been resurrected, hadn't he? Why did he still continue to help him under Madara's name?
"I'm not anyone! I'm just Obito, Uchiha Obito!" Anger prompted Obito to roar. He stared at the existence in front of him, but the empty feeling in his heart was hard to ignore.
What on earth was he expecting? Was he just a tool to the person before him? They were just using each other, nothing more.
He had created the tragedy of his own life, but in the end, he escaped with ease. Watching him struggle in the swamp, it was as if everything he had suffered had nothing to do with him...
Obito's evolved Mangekyo spins wildly.
At this moment, Ali's sigh was heard.
If this continues, these two Uchiha who are not good at speaking will start fighting again on the spot...
"Really? Madara-sama is really not good at words..." Ali was in a complicated mood and stood aside to act as a translator: "What this sentence means is the greatest trust and affirmation."
Is that what you mean? Ah Li glanced at Ban, who seemed to have agreed without saying anything.
"Because it's hard for Madara-sama to trust anyone, you are another him. So before he dies, he can entrust his name and abilities to you, and also give you his utmost trust and affirmation."
"You inherited everything he had, and you are the most special one to Madara-sama!"
"Special?" Obito scoffed, "A tool is just a tool. Should I thank him for his appreciation?"
"You're just trying to use me to achieve your own goals. Talking about trust? Isn't that ironic?"
"Hiss, that's right!"
Seeing the girl go off track after just a few words, Ban was filled with questions...
Suddenly I felt that the little ghost was here to make things worse...
"But exploitation and trust don't seem to conflict with each other?" Ali scratched his head, feeling somewhat distressed. "Well, it seems I'm also not good at expressing myself..."
Ali touched his chin, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head. As if he remembered something, he changed his way of expression:
"Probably, maybe it's because Madara was able to defend you when I doubted your character?"
"During the war, is there someone who is willing to take the initiative to walk in front of you and protect you behind him?"
Ali counted on his fingers, recalling the past carefully while frantically exposing the past in front of Obito:
"Or maybe you could walk up to him head-on and poke him right in the heart, and he might not be prepared?"
"You betrayed him and stabbed him in the heart, and he took back the Rinnegan and even replaced the Sharingan you lost. What a miracle!"
Obito's expression gradually became weird, and Madara's complexion also gradually became wrong, slightly dark.
Obito thought back to the girl's almost prophetic ability, and began to look at Madara with inquiring eyes.
Could it be that the old man has become senile and insane?
"Oh, it's true that I'm getting old and my mind isn't clear anymore!"
"Heh, it's much better than some love-brained brat!"
Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Ali stood in the middle helplessly and tried to stop them.
She raised her hand and summoned a blue screen, on which were playing scenes under the blood moon, and looked at Obito who was a little dazed.
"You weren't chosen this time? Did you get the ending you wanted?"
Obito came back to his senses: "It's just an illusion. No matter how it works, it's still under your control."
Speaking of this, recalling that he had reincarnated nearly 30 times but still had no good end, Obito's face was a little angry.
"No." Ali shook his head: "I don't have the ability to decide everyone's training illusion."
She pointed to the stone staircase below and said, "This illusion is the direction of the world line that the Longevity Staircase automatically deduces based on your own choices."
"If you really did that in the real world, I can tell you for sure that the result would not be much different from what happened in the fantasy world."
Obito twitched the corners of his lips, not believing it at all: "Then how do you explain the night of the genocide?"
"The so-called Uchiha brat who wiped out an entire clan couldn't even withstand a single blow from me. How did he manage to kill all the high-ranking Uchiha warriors so easily?"
"And it's obvious that Konoha has also taken action, right? Uchiha is also a member of Konoha, why would they take action?" Obito immediately started complaining.
Do you have a misunderstanding of your own strength?
Ali fell into a strange silence, and suddenly realized that no matter how much he changed, the kindness and love in this person's bones were not called Xian Er for nothing...
"Are you confused as to why?" Ali raised his eyebrows and searched for an answer that was more appropriate and closest to the reason for Obito:
"From the Warring States family period to the Konoha ninja village period, in addition to personal grudges, the main body within Konoha also changed."
"The Hokage controls all political power, but Sarutobi came to power too early, leaving his subordinates with only nominal power. He can't even control the clans within the village. The big clans are too powerful and influential, leaving the smaller clans struggling to survive. All of this is enough for those in power to purge dissidents."
Ali analyzed the situation of Konoha at that time to Obito: "Konoha had just been established. Except for the Senju clan, all the other clans that joined the ninja village might not be able to defeat the Uchiha clan, and the same is true for the Senju clan."
"The Senju and Uchiha already possess most of the village's resources... although those resources were originally brought here by themselves."
"However, compared to the Uchiha clan, the Senju clan is even worse off. After producing two generations of Hokage, the Senju clan has treated the village as a product of their own clan. When they talk about Konoha, the first thing they say is the clan leader/grandfather's Konoha..."
"What's more, they have a strong popular base. The non-direct descendants scattered into the civilian population of the ninja village. It seems to leave enough room for them to retreat, but it is also so that when the direct line continues, they can rely on this popular base and respond with a single call."
"This is a fact that those in power cannot accept, so Qianshou was the one who stood out, was deified, and then was killed by praise." Ali said the almost cruel ending.
"You've lived in Konoha for so many years. Have you ever seen any Senju except Tsunade, who has no surname?"
Obito had frozen.
It turns out that the conflict between Uchiha and the village is so complicated?
And Ali continued to analyze: "With the Senju gone, wouldn't the Uchiha be the one to take the lead now?"
"If the Uchiha clan had been willing to decline, perhaps things wouldn't have been so tragic. However, one genius after another from the Uchiha clan has been showing off their presence right under the noses of those high-ranking officials."
"The Uchiha's living environment is constantly being squeezed. They will either be suppressed and explode, or die in silence. Conflict is inevitable."
"In order to avoid casualties, Konoha instigated an internal conflict among the Uchiha clan's powerful members. Wasn't this the inevitable result of political struggle and the extermination of the Uchiha clan?"
At this moment, Obito was beginning to doubt his life. He even began to wonder if he had reincarnated for so many years in vain, and if he had even misunderstood the real cause of his tragedy...
Ali looked at Obito again, his eyes calm: "Obito, I only have one question for you."
"Your previous actions, and everything you've done since joining us, were they all designed to end war and bring peace to your loved ones, or were they simply designed to create a world where Lin could exist?"
Obito froze in place.
Ali's expression was serious, and he peered deep into his pupils, trying to see into Obito's struggling soul.
"If it's just for Lin, then I can tell you clearly that the sect has the means to resurrect people, and the ninja world has even more. You don't even need to do anything. Once we build that world, I can help you resurrect her unconditionally."
"You can take her to the new world and live as an ordinary person, or even go into seclusion. We'll go our separate ways later."
Even if it's just for Madara-sama, she will help repay this karma.
"But if you are here to bring peace to the ninja world, to help people stop going to the battlefield and stop them from suffering the same pain you have suffered, then I am willing to increase my stake in you and fully recognize you as our companion and family, sharing life and death with you."
"..." Obito opened his mouth but didn't answer in the end.
Ali smiled and didn't ask Obito to give his answer immediately: "Don't worry, give me your answer before we reach the next destination..."
"No matter what choice you make, Lin, I will bring it back for you."
Obito's expression softened a bit.
Seeing that there was still some tension between Madara and Obito, but it was obvious that Obito no longer chose to continue fighting against Madara, Ali also breathed a sigh of relief.
The method of diverting attention is quite practical.
As long as they don't break up completely all at once, there is a possibility of turning things around.
After more than two years of living together day and night, the tacit understanding and feelings that have been accumulated cannot be lost just like that.
At least for Madara, Obito's original identity as a tool to him disappeared, and other derived emotions instantly took over.
It is undeniable that although Madara was unwilling to admit it, he had long regarded Obito as his only heir.
"Tsk..." Ali shook his head.
Uchiha...
Why is everything so awkward?
"Go find Shui Cang and the others to register for your reward for reaching the summit. Don't forget to come to the high-level meeting in the main hall in two hours."
…
But after a while, Obito appeared in front of Ali and the others again. He ignored Madara's dangerous look, sat down on the table, and pressed down Madara's formation diagram.
"Old man, where are the cultivation resources you mentioned? You're not going to swallow them up for me, are you?"
He only remembered this after being reminded by Shu Cang and the others when he was registering downstairs.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. He won't let this opportunity go...
Madara looked at Obito, who was speaking to him with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, and took out three top-grade spirit stones from the space and threw them over.
After Obito caught it, he was obviously stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect Madara to be so generous. He looked at the top-grade spirit stone in his hand for a while, and put the spirit stone into his own space without hesitation.
Once it's in his hands, don't even think about him returning it.
Ali, who was standing opposite, saw this strange scene of interaction and felt extremely complicated.
What's going on with them?
Is it good or not?
