What terrified Obito even more was Night Star is newly awakened Mangekyou Sharingan.
As a Mangekyou user himself, Obito naturally understood how terrifying the abilities of these eyes could be.
The specific effects of Night Star is ocular techniques were still unknown, but compared to himself, Night Star had one significant advantage
He possessed both eyes, which meant he could unleash the third power of the Mangekyou: Susanoo.
"I can't win."
After carefully considering the differences between himself and Night Star, Obito felt a growing sense of despair.
Losing his left arm wasn't a big deal for him; he could easily replace it with a White Zetsu.
But facing Night Star...
He couldn't win. Obito couldn't see even a sliver of hope for victory.
"It seems... this is the only way."
Obito clenched his teeth, speaking with deep reluctance.
"Rin, one day, I will create a world where you exist."
Meanwhile, outside the Kamui dimension, in the forest.
"Night Star."
Rin Nohara looked at Night Star is Mangekyou Sharingan, which emitted an ominous glow, her expression complex.
Night Star was indeed like this.
The Sharingan was an ominous power that instilled fear in everyone.
The oppressive aura of the Mangekyou was something ordinary people couldn't withstand, evoking an instinctive sense of terror.
At this moment, Rin slowly walked forward, raised her right hand, and gently touched Night Star is cheek, forcing a smile.
"You've awakened the Sharingan."
"You must have had a hard time all these years."
"I'm sorry I couldn't be by your side."
Hearing Rin's words, Night Star remained calm and indifferent, casually waving his hand.
"I've been fine."
Rin's smile grew gentler as she softly said,
"You've grown so tall, but you're still as stubborn as you were back in school, aren't you?"
Night Star didn't respond, only saying indifferently,
"I have someone else to meet. Do you want to come with me?"
Rin hesitated for a long time before finally nodding slightly.
"Even though I think I shouldn't stay in this world since I'm already dead, before I go, I'd like to see Kurenai, Yugao, Might Guy, and Kakashi my old classmates."
As she followed Night Star, Rin couldn't help but ask,
"By the way... why is Obito still alive? And why did he attack you?"
"Do you really want to know?"
Night Star glanced at Rin, his tone ambiguous.
"You're already dead. Even if you know, what can you change?"
Hearing this, Rin showed a bitter smile, her expression dimming as she murmured,
"You're right."
The two left the forest and arrived atop the Hokage Rock.
There, they saw Mei Terumi, dressed in a blue gown, standing opposite Pakura. The atmosphere between the two women was tense, with a faint killing intent in the air.
"Hehe, Pakura of the Scorch Style. I never thought I'd see you here."
Pakura glanced at Mei's Kirigakure forehead protector and yawned.
"You know me, but I don't know you. After all, some minor characters aren't worth remembering."
"Oh, is that so?"
Mei smiled, her beautiful eyes glinting with a hint of coldness.
"Do you really think having the Scorch Style Kekkei Genkai makes you invincible?"
"You're welcome to try and see if my Scorch Style can dry up that skin of yours."
Although Pakura had now defected from Sunagakure, she still harbored deep resentment toward Kirigakure ninja.
Similarly, Mei had little goodwill toward Pakura, who had killed countless comrades on the battlefield.
It was only natural that the two women would clash like this when they met.
"Let's stop for now."
Seeing Night Star approach, Mei stopped bickering with Pakura and smiled.
"So far, the plan is progressing smoothly."
Night Star gazed into the distance at the burning Konoha village and nodded slightly.
"That's right."
Rin stood behind the two, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating.
With her kind and gentle nature, she couldn't bear to see the village suffer any harm.
But after reading the diary entries over the past few months, Rin had come to realize how the village elders had been systematically oppressing the Uchiha clan.
In just over three months, the village elders had committed numerous acts of suppressing and even secretly killing Uchiha ninja.
So, what kind of life had Night Star been living in the years before she saw the diary?
"Don't judge others' kindness without experiencing their suffering."
Rin understood this principle well.
"Hello."
Seeing Rin's uncertain expression, Pakura took the initiative to greet her with a smile.
"My name is Pakura."
"Hello, Miss Pakura. I'm Rin Nohara."
Rin hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking,
"Miss Pakura, are you perhaps the one known as..."
"Yes, the Pakura of the Scorch Style."
Pakura smiled gently and patted Rin's head.
"But now, I've joined the Uchiha clan. I'm one of your own, so there's no need to be afraid."
"Okay."
Rin responded softly, her eyes filled with surprise as she looked at Night Star, who was conversing with Mei.
Even Pakura of the Scorch Style, who had made a name for herself during the Third Great Ninja War, had chosen to stand by Night Star is side?
What kind of charm did he possess?
Facing Night Star and the Uchiha clan, did the village elders really stand a chance of winning?
"By the way."
Mei looked at the chaos in Konoha and asked curiously,
"Aren't you going to help? This time, Kirigakure has sent a unit of elite ninjas. If Konoha really loses the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, it wouldn't be a good thing for the Uchiha either, right?"
"It's fine."
Night Star replied nonchalantly.
"Konoha isn't so fragile. Besides, the Uchiha's police force will handle it."
At the same time, he recorded in his diary:
[So far, everything is going according to plan.]
[Kirigakure's primary target will undoubtedly be Uzumaki Naruto's location.]
[And Sarutobi Hiruzen will definitely mobilize all his forces to protect Naruto, preventing the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki from being kidnapped by Kirigakure.]
[This has led to the current situation: Konoha is in chaos, but the villagers see no ANBU members coming to their rescue.]
[The decision Hiruzen has made will make the villagers realize one truth:]
[The so-called Will of Fire is nothing but a lie.]
[The village elders won't provide any form of help when their lives are in danger.]
[The more desperate they are, the more grateful they'll be when the Uchiha clan steps in to save them.]
At this moment, the kunoichi of Konoha hadn't seen this latest diary update.
"Painful Sky Leg!"
Tsunade stomped her foot on the ground, and the shattered rocks sent a Kirigakure ninja crashing into a wall, reducing him to a pulp.
Meanwhile, Yugao, who had left the ANBU, and Kurenai Yūhi, a chūnin, were also battling Kirigakure ninjas.
Normally, the two wouldn't stand a chance.
But thanks to the various rewards they'd gained from the diary over the past few months, both Yugao and Kurenai were now at least at the level of elite jōnin.
Dealing with these Kirigakure ninjas, who fought individually rather than as a team, was relatively easy for them.
