Obito’s Despair

I need fanfiction ideas, comment them here.

----------

"It's over!"

"What are they going to do now?"

"Is the protagonist's plot armor the only hope?"

Many readers began to mutter anxiously.

Just as Madara's right arm was torn off, a White Zetsu appeared, providing Madara with a new right arm and the Rinnegan that Obito had been hiding. Now, not only was Madara unharmed, but he had become even stronger, for he now possessed the Rinnegan!

Madara with the Rinnegan was a completely different beast compared to his earlier self.

Everyone knew that the Uchiha clan relied heavily on their eyes for power—about 80% of their abilities came from their dojutsu!

Now equipped with the Rinnegan, Madara began hunting the tailed beasts.

He first used the power of his Rinnegan to summon the Gedo Statue from Obito's body. Then, with his Rinnegan's unique ability—Limbo: Border Jail—he quickly subdued the tailed beasts and used the Gedo Statue's chains to begin pulling them inside.

Not only that, but Madara also ripped Kurama (Nine-Tails) and Gyuki (Eight-Tails) from Naruto and Bee, sealing them into the Gedo Statue.

When a Jinchuriki's tailed beast is extracted, the Jinchuriki is certain to die. Just as the story warned, Naruto—who had just lost Kurama—began to fade, his heartbeat growing weaker and weaker.

"Oh no, is Naruto actually going to die?"

"It's definitely possible!"

"Remember, this is the Porter we're talking about!"

Readers started to get seriously worried.

After all, the Porter had a reputation for killing off main characters!

And the worst part was…

Fans looked at Madara in the panels. Even if Naruto somehow survived, what difference would it make? Madara had already gathered the tailed beasts. If Naruto and the others couldn't defeat him before, how could they possibly stand a chance now that Madara had them all?

Even Sasuke's sneak attack on Madara was effortlessly blocked. Instead, Sasuke found himself impaled by his own sword.

At this point, both Naruto, the protagonist, and Sasuke, the deuteragonist, had lost their ability to fight!

Madara had defeated Hashirama, Naruto, Tobirama, and Sasuke. Now that he had all nine tailed beasts, he summoned the Ten-Tails and used the Six Paths technique to absorb it, becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki himself. He then set off for another battlefield, intent on reclaiming his left eye.

At that moment, Obito, whose life force was fading fast, was lying weakly as Kakashi struggled to sense any trace of his chakra.

Black Zetsu attempted to transfer Kurama and the Rinnegan from Obito's body to Madara.

However, Obito, with sheer willpower, managed to resist Black Zetsu's control.

"You...!" Obito glared at Madara in hatred. "If you're going to betray me, don't blame me for this!"

Fighting through the pain and Zetsu's control, Obito reached for his own Rinnegan, intent on destroying it.

If he couldn't create the world he wanted, then he'd at least ensure that Madara's plans failed too!

Seeing Obito's resolve, Madara spoke calmly. "Don't you want to see Rin again? Give me the Rinnegan, and I'll give you control over your dream world. You can create a world where you rule everything."

Madara was trying to manipulate Obito once again—just like when he first lured him after Rin's death.

"Rin…"

Hearing Madara's words, Obito seemed to hesitate.

At this point, readers held their breath in anticipation.

Madara was already ridiculously powerful with one eye. If he regained both Rinnegan, the situation would become hopeless. Even Naruto's plot armor might not be enough to save the day.

But then, in a sudden twist!

Just as it seemed Obito might give in to Madara's temptation, Obito plunged his hand into Madara's chest. He hadn't fallen for Madara's manipulation at all! Instead, he had taken some of Shukaku's (One-Tail) and Gyuki's (Eight-Tails) chakra from Madara, absorbing a small amount of Six Paths power in the process.

Not only that, Obito then teamed up with his former comrade, Kakashi!

"I knew it! Obito wouldn't give in so easily!" a fan cheered.

"Exactly! Obito's been through so much. He's not going to trust Madara again after everything!"

Kakashi, watching this unfold, gave Obito a complicated look. "Obito!"

"Don't get the wrong idea!" Obito snapped back, giving Kakashi a sharp glance. "I'm just ticked off that Madara tried to use me."

Yes, this was another change from the original story.

In the original version, Obito was fully persuaded by Kakashi and the others' words. Ren, however, felt that such a sudden change in Obito's character didn't feel realistic.

Here, Obito remained the dark, conflicted figure he had become. The only reason he was cooperating with Kakashi was to get revenge on Madara for using him as a pawn for the Rinne Rebirth.

Through their teamwork, Obito successfully entered the Kamui dimension.

Originally, Obito had planned to destroy the Rinnegan and be done with it. But the more he thought about it, the more he realized that taking down Madara was more satisfying.

However, his body was already nearing its limit.

So, Obito decided that before destroying his eye, he would first revive Naruto.

After all, anything that made Madara's life more difficult would bring Obito a twisted sense of joy.

Just as he was about to transfer the Nine-Tails chakra he had absorbed from Black Zetsu into Naruto and destroy the Rinnegan…

Madara appeared!

Seeing that Obito was about to destroy his eye, Madara immediately interrupted him.

Madara knew he had to keep Obito calm—his Rinnegan was still inside Obito, after all!

And so…

A smirk played across Madara's lips.

He knew exactly how to handle this situation.

"Obito," Madara began slowly, "everything you've done—everything that's happened—has all been part of my plan."

When readers saw this, not only Obito but even many fans were stunned.

"I knew something felt off about Rin's death!"

"Wow, Madara really is the ultimate puppet master!"

"He's been manipulating things since Obito was a kid!"

"I can't believe it. Rin's death was all part of Madara's scheme…"

At that moment, many readers began to feel a strange sympathy for Obito.

Even though Obito had murdered his teacher and his teacher's wife, many fans couldn't help but pity him now.

After all, it turned out that Rin's death—the event that had shattered Obito's heart—had been orchestrated by Madara. Madara had placed a seal on Rin's heart, turning her into the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, ensuring she would be chased by the Hidden Mist and eventually killed. It was all part of Madara's plan to drive Obito into darkness and make him hate the world.

In the end, Obito's entire life had been a pawn in Madara's scheme.

And for a long time, Obito had even been proud of that!

The puppet master behind the puppet master had finally been revealed!

"Aaagh… aaahhh!" Obito screamed in agony, clutching his head as the truth overwhelmed him.

Seizing the moment, Black Zetsu regained control of Obito's body.
