Reborn as Danzō’s Grandson, Must I Offend the Entire Ninja World?

Getting angry might not unlock greater potential, but it definitely makes one act more recklessly, sometimes catching the enemy off guard.

That's why the arrogant fear the foolish, and the foolish fear the desperate.

But Yami fears nothing, so Obito's desperate outburst was ineffective.

Even with his immortal body, he was nothing more than a qualified punching bag, getting pummeled skyward and into the earth, with nowhere to run.

Madara, who was being held back by Sasuke and Shisui, was in a terrible mood.

Even if Obito's Six Paths Sage Mode was incomplete, he shouldn't be getting thrashed like this, right?

If he had been revived himself, would the outcome have been different?

"Uchiha Madara, what conspiracy are you cooking up now?"

Sasuke noticed the change in Madara's expression and immediately mocked him. "Can't you just lie there quietly like a dead man? Planning to use Rinne Tensei to resurrect yourself?"

"I've already broken the control you had over Obito. He'd have to be insane to revive you."

Sasuke now understood what it meant to stab Obito in the heart. From a broader view, it might've been foolish [to let Obito escape Madara's control].

But from Madara's perspective, it was just pathetic.

The mastermind behind the scenes had suddenly turned into a background clown. Just now, Obito hadn't even looked his way.

So Sasuke stabbed again with words, which only deepened the mutual damage.

As expected, Madara's mood worsened, and a sense of helplessness crept over him.

Yami didn't know that the big boss Uchiha Madara had just suffered a mental breakdown, but he was well aware that Obito was no longer of use.

After getting tired of beating up his human sandbag, he increased his strength.

Sage Art power.

Yami blocked Obito's punch, grabbed him by the head, and lunged forward, driving punch after punch into Obito's abdomen.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

With each dull thud, Obito coughed blood, his eyes bulging.

Even worse, Sage Chakra penetrated Obito's body through Yami's fists and began to destroy him from the inside.

Obito was no Madara. Whether it was his base strength before attaining the Six Paths power or his control over the Rinnegan, he couldn't compare.

Suppressing the Ten Tails with just one Rinnegan was simply too difficult.

The reason he succeeded at all was because his obsession with Rin was overpowering enough to momentarily suppress Ten Tails' will.

But once Yami's Sage power entered his body, the Ten Tails, which had been forcibly suppressed, began to riot again. With pressure from both inside and out, Obito soon broke.

With one final blow, Yami released his grip, sending Obito flying like a rag doll, his face twisted in agony.

His body swelled unnaturally, ballooning in the blink of an eye.

"Aaaaagh!"

Obito let out a miserable scream as a massive creature tore its way out of him. Like a balloon popping, his body deflated rapidly.

"Roar—!"

The Ten Tails roared as it escaped its vessel, and the height of the God Tree surged hundreds of meters higher in response.

Its grotesque form, towering size, and the boundless Chakra radiating from it…

The shinobi on the battlefield could only stare in stunned silence at the monster howling to the heavens.

This… was the fusion of the nine tailed beasts, the Ten Tails?

"Yami-nii is incredible!" Naruto, protecting a large group of shinobi, looked up at Yami floating in the sky, sighing in awe and feeling a bit lost.

"I wonder when I'll be strong enough to defeat Yami-nii."

Kurama, who was helping Naruto gather natural energy, snorted at his words. "Even the Ten Tails lost to that lunatic. Even if half of me is gone, the Ten Tails is still the Ten Tails."

"Naruto, stop dreaming. Unless the real old man of the Six Paths gets resurrected, it's absolutely impossible for anyone else to beat Yami."

After dumping a bucket of cold water on Naruto, Kurama added another reminder. "You should go check on Uchiha Sasuke. He's probably going to take action against Obito."

Prompted by Kurama, Naruto noticed that Sasuke had abandoned Madara and was flying toward where Obito had fallen. He panicked and moved the giant fox to follow.

"Sasuke, don't you dare fight me for him!"

Naruto wasn't a saint. Avenging his parents was his responsibility, and he had to end Obito's life with his own hands.

"Naruto …"

Minato watched the golden fox speeding away and shook his head with a faint smile.

With that kind of personality, he really does take after his mother.

"Sensei."

After hesitating for a moment, Kakashi made up his mind. "Let's go see Obito off one last time. He's made too many wrong choices, and there's no way back."

Minato nodded, placed a hand on Kakashi, activated Body Flicker, and chased after him.

However… someone was even faster.

Obito, now lying on the ground, had almost lost consciousness. Being separated from the Ten Tails wasn't instantly fatal, but he was no longer immortal.

A black, sticky liquid quickly slithered into his body, controlling his hand to start forming hand seals.

Outer Path: Rinne Tensei Technique!

In the next moment, an immense wave of Chakra swept across the battlefield.

It was like a physical shockwave, instantly blasting Shisui's Susanoo hundreds of meters away. Many shinobi were directly thrown back.

Madara's Rinnegan popped out of his eyes like loose stickers, and white steam rose from his body.

"Hahahahahahaha!"

Clenching his fists, feeling the true sensation of flesh and blood, Madara laughed maniacally. "Yes! This body is real! The feeling of boiling blood… this is what fighting is supposed to be!"

Boom!

Madara's aura surged to a new height, completely surpassing his previous limit.

Countless faces changed drastically. The Asura of the Sengoku era had fully returned to life!

After forcing Obito to activate the jutsu, Black Zetsu wasted no time and immediately reached for Obito's Rinnegan.

He dared not delay any longer. That Rinnegan had to be delivered to Uchiha Madara as soon as possible, to deal with Yami.

But just as Obito's hand was pressing against his eye socket, needing only a bit more force to extract the eye, a hand grabbed his wrist.

"Sorry, but I can't let you take this eye."

With a flash of a sword, Orochimaru sliced off the arm controlled by Black Zetsu using the Kusanagi Sword and extracted the Rinnegan himself… then implanted it into his own eye socket.

Now bearing two Rinnegan, Orochimaru smiled as a surge of power flooded his body.
