[Obito's Rebirth World, in a Secret Cave]
Uchiha Sasuke removed the bandage wrapped around his eyes and opened his Mangekyo Sharingan.
No, it should now be called the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
Everything around him became clear in his eyes.
His expression slightly twisted as he covered his eyes and said, "After transplanting Itachi's eyes, my vision can pierce through the darkness."
Beside him, Obito leaned against the wall and slowly said, "It seems you've adapted well. We can start our plan now."
Uchiha Sasuke said expressionlessly, "Don't remind me. I'll do what I promised you."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "But you also need to understand, right now, you're relying on my power. All plans will be decided by me."
Obito said indifferently, "It seems that after transplanting Itachi's eyes, you've become uncontrollable. But that's fine; this was within my expectations. As long as the final plan is accomplished, it doesn't matter if you're in charge."
Sasuke said, "I've told you before, I'm not working with you. I hope you understand that."
After saying this, he continued, "How many days has it been since I transplanted Itachi's eyes? How are things outside?"
"Is the Third Raikage still around the Land of Rain?"
Sasuke's expression darkened, "We have a score to settle. It's about time we settled it."
Obito couldn't help but shake his head. After transplanting Itachi's eyes, Sasuke's mentality had become even more inflated than he had expected.
He said indifferently, "It's been more than ten days. I thought during this time, the Cloud and Stone villages would have united to attack the Land of Rain."
"Unexpectedly, they're more cautious than I thought. They're waiting for the Leaf and Sand Village's troops to assemble before making a move."
Sasuke was taken aback, "What you mean is that all the Great Shinobi Villages, except the Mist, have sent troops to surround the Land of Rain?"
Obito said indifferently, "What's so strange about that? After all, they now know that the leader of the Akatsuki is Uchiha Madara. That legendary man, no matter how cautious, is not enough."
Sasuke frowned and said, "You've been using Madara's name to deceive me. What kind of existence is that man?"
Obito said indifferently, "He's someone who can make Itachi, the Fourth Hokage, and the Third Raikage, whom you've met, act with caution just from hearing his name."
"Haven't you seen him before?"
Sasuke said dismissively, "Fine. No matter what kind of existence he is, I'll see it for myself."
Obito reminded him, "If you want to cause trouble for the Third Raikage, I won't stop you. But Uchiha Madara is different. You still need to be careful. After all, our plan is just to take my eyes, so don't make things more complicated."
Sasuke said with a slight sneer, "You're still as cautious as ever. Someone like you, hiding in the shadows, what big things can you accomplish?"
After saying that, Sasuke walked toward the cave entrance, "Let's go. I don't have much time. Once I deal with your matters, the next one will be Konoha."
Just as he reached the cave entrance, a wild bear charged at him. This place had once been its territory, but now it had been occupied by Sasuke and Obito. Now, it wanted to reclaim its land.
The wild bear was about to strike Sasuke, but his face turned cold, and his Mangekyo Sharingan spun.
"Amaterasu!"
Immediately, black flames erupted on the wild bear. The flames seemed to burn endlessly. The bear, in pain, lost its ability to attack, rolling on the ground. Finally, it was burned to ashes.
Sasuke felt the powerful heat and strength, even without shedding a single tear. His expression grew even more arrogant.
"Very good, this power is quite impressive. Now, let's try it outside," After saying that, Sasuke's figure disappeared into the distance.
In the cave, Obito listened to the sounds from the entrance and couldn't help but wonder, 'Sasuke now, won't he even release Amaterasu on a passing wild dog?'

Meanwhile, after waiting for more than ten days, the Sand and Leaf Village armies had also arrived around the Land of Rain.
At this moment, all the great nations, except for the Mist, had sent their troops.
The commanders of the four nations held a brief temporary meeting.
[The Meeting Location]
Raikage A looked at the highest commander of Konoha, Orochimaru, and sarcastically said, "Hiruzen didn't dare to come, huh? As expected, a cowardly old man."
Orochimaru chuckled and said, "Hiruzen-sensei is old, and it's really not appropriate for him to leave the village now."
However, the Third Raikage just glanced at the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, and said, "Your Hokage is old, but is your Tsuchikage not old?"
Onoki took the opportunity to say, "Yes, I personally came this time. To put it bluntly, Konoha's land is fertile, and the Third Hokage enjoys a comfortable life. Right now, he probably even forgot how to fight."
Orochimaru said darkly, "Is that so? If the Tsuchikage himself came to Konoha, maybe he would witness Hiruzen-sensei's strength."
"My teacher is strong and has the ability to kill me with ease."
Onoki and A exchanged glances, their eyes flickering.
Orochimaru wasn't weak. If Hiruzen could easily kill Orochimaru, that would indeed be impressive.
However, they couldn't tell how much truth there was in this statement.
Meanwhile, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, interjected, "The purpose of our visit is to unite and deal with Uchiha Madara. Before the battle even starts, let's not fall into internal conflict."
Onoki snapped back, "The Kazekage is right. Now that our troops have assembled, it's time to attack the Land of Rain and eliminate the Akatsuki organization."
Raikage clenched his fists and said, "Then let's launch a full-scale attack. Didn't Hanzo the Salamander seem very arrogant before? He didn't allow the ninjas from the Great Nations to cause trouble in his territory. I'm curious, who gave him the courage..."
———
At the same time, in the Land of Rain, Hanzo the Salamander, wearing an Akatsuki cloak, hurriedly arrived at the Akatsuki base.
He reported to Madara, "Leader Madara, the armies of the four great nations have formed an alliance and launched a full-scale attack on us. Should we send out troops to intercept them?"
Madara glanced at Hanzo and shook his head, "No need. I'll handle it myself."
Upon hearing this, the other members of Akatsuki became excited, wanting to follow along. However, Madara deemed most of them too weak and didn't bring them.
In the end, Madara only took with him Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, and the original ruler of the Land of Rain, Hanzo the Salamander.
———
On the other side, the armies of the four great nations launched their attacks and headed toward the Land of Rain.
However, after reaching the borders of the Land of Rain, all they saw was a vast and somewhat desolate land, with no signs of Rain ninjas guarding it.
Onoki couldn't help but float up, looking into the distance.
He murmured, "What's Hanzo the Salamander up to?"
However, due to the rain and mist obstructing the view, Onoki couldn't see clearly what lay ahead.
