[Because of Black Zetsu's possession, the Obito with the natural power of the Rinnegan did not die immediately.]
[He used his powerful will to suppress Black Zetsu and stood with the Allied Shinobi Forces.]
[Afterward, he even resurrected Naruto, and Obito had a hand in the final battle of the gods.]
[In Kaguya's world Amenominaka, he found Sasuke.]
[In the end, to protect Naruto and Kakashi, he blocked Kaguya's fatal blow.]
[Before his death, besides making sure Naruto would become Hokage, there was one last thing he hadn't done.]
[That was to ensure Kakashi would become the famed Copy Ninja and restore the Shinobi World.]
[His body, though turned to ash, still emitted the power of the Six Paths.]
[This chakra attached itself to Kakashi.]
[The man, who was once called "the man who always draws," once again awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.]
[With the power of the Six Paths, carrying Obito's will, Kakashi awakened the complete Susanoo.]
[This Susanoo's power was even strong enough to harm Kaguya.]
[Watching as Team 7 successfully sealed Kaguya, Obito could finally rest in peace.]
[He was going to meet Rin in that world.]
[He would go to the world with Minato and the sister who always loved him, Kushina, and apologize to them.]
[Obito: "Sensei, Lady Kushina, I'm sorry for being late. I hope you can forgive me."]
"Looks like there was no external interference in the final battle, thank goodness."
The review of Obito's actions had ended.
The Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, let out a sigh of relief.
In Naruto, for the sake of the plot, many unexpected events can happen multiple times.
For example, when it came to the Ten Tails and Obito, it almost felt like the main group was losing, and then Obito had some personal issues to create an opening.
A work is a work, and reality is reality.
Jiraiya wouldn't rely on such unexpected events to help them in real life.
"In the original fate, was my end supposed to be death?"
"Well, at least in the final moments, I can help them a bit."
"Not a bad outcome after all."
Watching himself die on the screen and live happily with Rin, Minato, and Kushina in another world, Obito didn't feel any dissatisfaction; in fact, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"So you see, Obito, the Mangekyō Sharingan can only reach its full potential when both eyes are used together, and you—"
Obito raised his hand, interrupting Kakashi's words. He of course knew what this guy was trying to say.
It was just about returning his Sharingan.
But this time, he didn't refuse; instead, he agreed.
"Alright, fine. Pick a time, and we'll go to the Konoha hospital for surgery."
"Hmm? Oh, okay, well, how about we do it right after the meeting ends?"
"That won't work."
"Why?"
"Because later, I need to go be a punching bag for Kushina's training, no time for surgery."
"...Fine, then let's do it tomorrow."
"Six Paths Power? What's that?"
In the Hokage's office, Tobirama Senju was curious about the "Six Paths Power" mentioned at the end of the video.
Seeing that Tobirama was deep in thought, Hashirama, however, casually spoke up: "What else could it be? It's the Six Paths Power from the Rinnegan, of course."
"Hmm, I don't think that's right."
Tobirama didn't agree with Hashirama's words. He shook his head and began explaining his point of view.
"At first, I also thought the Six Paths Power referred to the Six Paths, like the Deva Path in the Rinnegan. But after thinking about it a bit more, I felt something was off.
When they fought Kaguya, we could clearly see that Obito no longer had the Rinnegan.
So if he doesn't have the Rinnegan, how could he still possess the Six Paths Power?
Unless, what's being referred to as the Six Paths Power isn't the Six Paths like the Deva Path, but some other kind of power.
For example, the Six Paths of the Sage of the Six Paths."
"The Sage of the Six Paths?"
"Yes."
Hashirama scratched his head, completely not understanding why Tobirama was bringing up the Sage of the Six Paths.
In the legends of the ninja world, it was the Sage of the Six Paths who created the ninja world and taught ninjutsu. He's a legendary figure beyond comprehension.
This figure was so distant, it didn't seem like he could be connected to Obito in any way.
"If Obito didn't have the power of the Sage of the Six Paths, how could he have passed on his Mangekyō Sharingan to Kakashi after his death? That doesn't make sense at all.
But if you say this power has reached the level of the Sage of the Six Paths, doesn't that suddenly make everything more reasonable?"
"...I see what you mean, but I still think it's hard to believe."
Seeing that Hashirama couldn't understand either, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others nodded in agreement.
"Transmitting the Sharingan across space like that... no matter how you look at it, it's still hard to believe."
"Sigh~"
With a deep sigh, Tobirama looked around, feeling as if he were playing a lute to a cow.
"Alright, let's not dwell on this anymore. Let's start talking to the other side."
Just as Tobirama and Jiraiya began their "phone call," not far from Takigakure, three figures were making their way toward the village.
"Black Zetsu, are you sure the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki is in the village right now?"
"Lord Madara, you have to trust my and White Zetsu's intel abilities."
"Samehada, it's your turn now. Let me see your true power."
"No problem, the real Madara, I'll take care of the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki."
That's right, these three were Reanimated Madara, Zetsu, and the long-lost Kisame.
If this were before, Uchiha Madara would never have trusted Kisame to capture the Seven-Tails. With his combative nature, if there was a fight to be had, he'd be the first to jump in.
But after hearing Zetsu's report about Konoha's changes, in order for the Eye of the Moon Plan to proceed smoothly, Madara chose to stay hidden.
"Ha~ Let me say hello first."
Takigakure is different from other Hidden Villages; its location is behind a massive waterfall.
To enter Takigakure, one must pass through the waterfall.
However, Kisame clearly didn't want to go that route. He jumped a few times and landed above the waterfall, mimicking Pain's stance with both hands raised, and shouted, "Shinra Tensei!"
In an instant, a powerful repulsion force swept across the entire waterfall.
The violent impact caused the waterfall to collapse in the blink of an eye.
Below, Madara looked at Kisame and slightly nodded.
"Not bad. Although he's not from the Uzumaki clan, the massive amount of chakra in his body is enough for him to use this Rinnegan."
"Yes, exactly. It was precisely because of his chakra that I decided to let him use the Rinnegan."
The waterfall collapsed, and of course, the Hidden Waterfall Village had to send someone to check the situation.
Just like the story of the calabash kids saving their grandfather, the ninjas of the Hidden Waterfall Village were sent one by one to their graves at Kisame's hands.
Neither Madara nor Zetsu showed any emotional reaction to this.
"By the way, Madara-sama, do you need me to find more manpower to shorten the time needed for sealing the Tailed Beasts?"
"No need. The reason it took you so long to seal the Tailed Beasts before was because Nagato couldn't fully utilize the power of the Rinnegan. But I'm different. I am the true master of the Rinnegan."
"Truly impressive, Madara-sama. Now I can rest easy."
