Chapter 346: Declaration of the Fourth War.

"Damn, what a troublesome ability."

The Raikage stopped and frowned, and the other Kage also looked troubled. They had put themselves in his shoes, wondering if there was an effective way to combat such an opponent, but they too had come to no conclusion and would be just as helpless as the Raikage.

"Indeed, as expected of someone who has fought me before, you still remember my abilities," the masked man said, turning to Minato. However, when his gaze fell on Kakashi and Minato, it was filled with complexity.

"Your abilities are something I'll never forget," Namikaze Minato said with a furrowed brow.

"And we've already figured out your true identity, haven't we?"

At this time, Minato's expression became complex. He couldn't imagine or believe that his own student could have turned out this way.

The masked man stiffened at these words. "What are you talking about? My identity is Uchiha Madara."

But his claim held no weight with the people of Konohagakure, and when he noticed the expressions on Minato and Kakashi's faces, he was certain they knew his true identity.

"What is your purpose here? If it's just to announce the capture of two Jinchuriki, it wouldn't be worth the risk of coming here," Namikaze Minato continued. If Minato weren't there, the man wouldn't be in danger, but now, not only was Minato present, but so was Kakashi. Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan could connect to the Kamui dimension, so even if the opponent became intangible, Minato and Kakashi had a way to attack him.

"I'm here to declare the Fourth Great Ninja War. The targets are the Seven-Tails and Nine-Tails currently in Konohagakure."

"What did you say?"

Before Minato could speak, Raikage took the lead and asked,

"Starting the Fourth Great Ninja War, who do you think you are? Declaring war on the Five Great Ninja Villages at the same time, aren't you overestimating your Akatsuki?"

"You'll know if we have that power when the time comes. Trust me, our strength won't disappoint you."

The masked man's eyes showed a cold look.

"Are you really going to go this far?"

At this moment, Kakashi stepped forward with a complex expression and said,

"For my ideals, to create a world with her, I have to do this."

The masked man said firmly.

"But do you know that you're just a puppet in someone else's hands? Everything you do is under their control. Even if you complete the task, nothing will go the way you expect."

Kakashi's tone became somewhat agitated, and his voice grew louder.

Kakashi knew that he bore the main responsibility for Obito becoming like this. If he had been stronger back then, if he hadn't let the enemy take Rin, everything would have been different.

Maybe someone like this would still appear, but it definitely wouldn't be Uchiha Obito.

"So what? As long as I have her, it's enough."

Since Minato and Kakashi already knew his identity, the masked man decided to reveal his purpose. Only the other four ninja villages were left in the dark.

However, they also noticed his Rinnegan and realized he was likely from Konohagakure. When Hokage said he knew Akatsuki's identity, it meant he wasn't Uchiha Madara.

"If you insist on being stubborn, I won't show mercy."

Namikaze Minato said seriously. If Obito really wanted to collect the Nine-Tails, it meant he wanted to kill his family. Minato wouldn't let anyone who wanted his life go, even if it was his own student.

"Hmph, if you can, try it."

Although the masked man said this, he was still a bit scared. Even though his strength had grown over the years, Minato hadn't stopped training either.

Moreover, Minato was a genius, and his growth over the years might have been much greater than Obito's.

"That's all I have to say. See you in the ninja war.

Oh, by the way, during the war, you might see many friends who have already died."

"Hey, what do you mean? Make it clear."

Raikage shouted loudly, but Obito had no intention of answering. His body twisted and finally disappeared in front of everyone.

"Hokage, who is that guy?"

Turning his head, Raikage asked Minato, as his brother had already been captured, and this matter could not be easily resolved. So, he needed to at least find out who was behind this.

"Sorry, that guy was once my disciple, but don't worry, I'll deal with this traitor myself."

"I don't want to hear these empty words. I just know that my brother was captured by your people from Konohagakure, and you must give me an explanation."

Raikage wanted to impulsively grab Minato by the collar, but Kakashi blocked him directly.

"Sorry, Raikage-sama, we didn't want to see this happen either, but if you intend to attack our Hokage, we won't be silent"

Kakashi said, his mood also very bad. If Raikage insisted on fighting, he wouldn't mind competing with Raikage to see who was the strongest user of Lightning Release.

At this moment, Raikage's two guards also stood up, both sides looking ready to fight at any moment.

"Alright, Raikage, now is not the time to dwell on these matters. What we need to think about now is how to deal with the Fourth Shinobi World War caused by Akatsuki."

Oonoki stepped in to mediate, and he was really concerned about the battle Akatsuki was about to start.

"There's no denying that Akatsuki's members are indeed powerful, but if the five great ninja villages join forces, they won't be able to cause much trouble."

Terumi Mei said, feeling very upset about Yugao being captured.

"I don't know, what I'm more concerned about is what that guy said before he left. Is there some kind of technique to revive our dead friends?"
