With a flash of movement, the Fourth Raikage burst from behind his guards, She and Darui, appearing a few meters from Obito. His eyes fixed on Obito, he shouted, "Are you Uchiha Madara?!"
"No, it's not him. He's just a clown…" Kaoru answered instead of Obito, responding to the Fourth Raikage's question.
"Hmph, no matter who you are, you're an Akatsuki member, that's for sure. To dare appear before the Five Kage alone, you're practically asking for death!!!" The Fourth Raikage shouted, forming his hand into a claw and lunging directly for Obito's neck.
However… since Obito dared to appear here, why would he fear the Fourth Raikage's sudden attack…
"Overestimating yourself…" Obito uttered mockingly, making no move. In the next moment, the Fourth Raikage's arm reached Obito's neck. To his horror, his arm passed straight through Obito's body, almost causing him to lose his balance.
His attack having failed, the Fourth Raikage immediately became vigilant. He quickly regained his footing, instantly retreated, and created distance between himself and Obito, preventing Obito from counter-attacking.
However… Obito made no move at all, showing no intention of counter-attacking. He didn't even move, nor did he even look at the Fourth Raikage.
From the moment he appeared, Obito's gaze had been fixed on Kaoru, even when the Fourth Raikage attacked him.
"Fourth Raikage, don't forget your current identity. To be so impulsive, I'm truly impressed…" Seeing the Fourth Raikage's ashen expression after his failed attack, Kaoru couldn't help but smile and reprimand him.
"You…" Hearing Kaoru's reprimanding tone, the Fourth Raikage felt a surge of anger and immediately wanted to retort.
However, remembering Kaoru's words about his impulsiveness, he figured that if he retorted, he'd likely fall into Kaoru's trap again. Moreover, there was a major enemy before them. The Fourth Raikage snorted coldly and turned his attention to Uchiha Obito.
"Who exactly are you?!" Staring directly at Obito, the Fourth Raikage's expression was extremely grim. This person before him seemed to completely ignore him, yet was extremely wary of Kaoru. This feeling of being overlooked made him very displeased.
"Uchiha Kaoru, you don't seem surprised by my appearance here…" Obito asked Kaoru again, completely ignoring the Fourth Raikage.
"There's nothing to be surprised about. For someone like you who likes to stir up trouble and put on a show, your appearance here was within my expectations." Kaoru shrugged. In truth, he still had some doubts; Uchiha Madara hadn't appeared.
"But I am genuinely curious, who gave you the courage… to dare appear before me?" Looking at Obito, Kaoru's eyes were devoid of any emotion, instead showing a hint of interest. He then calmly stated a fact: "Even if you're hiding behind the Kamui's spatial ninjutsu of your Mangekyo Sharingan, I have a hundred ways to kill you…"
"Can you kill me while I'm in my intangible state with Kamui…" For some reason, the moment Obito saw Kaoru's scarlet Mangekyo Sharingan, he felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.
Even though Obito tried to comfort himself internally, he couldn't help but feel a trace of apprehension and panic as he gazed at Kaoru, who stood before him like a perfect statue.
After all, he had been utterly defeated by Kaoru before, and had been killed countless times by him. It was only thanks to Izanagi that he had survived to this day, which had cast a deep shadow on Obito's psyche.
"Sixth Hokage! Can you tell me… who exactly is he?!" With a hint of anger in his eyes, the Fourth Raikage scanned Obito, then turned his gaze back to Kaoru. The Raikage felt extremely humiliated right now. He questioned Obito, but Obito disdained to answer. He asked Kaoru, but Kaoru didn't even pay him any attention.
"Sixth Hokage! Are you even listening to me!" Seeing that Kaoru wasn't even looking at him, the Fourth Raikage roared in dissatisfaction.
"I heard you… Why are you shouting so loudly…" Kaoru picked at his ear, appearing very displeased by the Fourth Raikage's words.
"Fine… I'll tell you." With a faint assent, Kaoru nodded lightly and said calmly, "His name is Uchiha Obito. He's a ninja who betrayed Konoha a long time ago, and he was the mastermind behind the scenes before Uchiha Madara appeared…"
"Uchiha Obito…" Everyone present began to murmur the name, but in their minds, they had no recollection of this name…
"No need to think about it, you've definitely never heard of him. Because he always wears that ridiculous mask and only dares to act from the shadows." Kaoru said with a smile, looking at the confused gazes of the other four Kage.
"However…" As he spoke, Kaoru shifted his gaze to Mei Terumī, the Mizukage. "However, Mizukage, this guy actually has a significant connection with your Hidden Mist Village…"
"A connection with the Hidden Mist Village…" Mei Terumī frowned, not quite understanding Kaoru's meaning.
"Uchiha Obito, he is the mastermind who controlled your Fourth Mizukage!!!" Kaoru calmly revealed the fact.
"What!!!" Hearing Kaoru's words, the three from the Land of Water couldn't help but exclaim, instantly turning their gazes to Obito, their killing intent clearly visible. Mei Terumī said coldly, "Are you saying… he is the mastermind behind the Bloody Mist Village incident?!"
"That's correct." Kaoru nodded.
"If that's the case… he truly deserves to die…" Mei Terumī stared intently at Obito and spat out these words coldly.
"Speak… your purpose for coming here, otherwise, you won't have another chance to speak again." Kaoru continued, looking at Obito.
"I came here… naturally, to take advantage of this great opportunity of the Five Kage gathering to declare war on you all. The Fourth Great Ninja War begins now!!!" Obito declared loudly, looking at everyone in the arena.
"The Fourth Great Ninja War, are you serious…" Ōnoki said, staring at Uchiha Obito.
"Of course I'm serious." Uchiha Obito said coldly. Now that Uchiha Madara had appeared, and they possessed the power of seven tailed beasts, not to mention countless reanimated ninjas, their strength had reached an unprecedented level by any measure.
"However, Uchiha Kaoru, you truly pique my curiosity. With your strength, do you still need to play this game of alliance with the other Kage? Didn't you just humiliate them yesterday…"
Hearing Uchiha Obito mention yesterday's Five Kage battle, the other four Kage's faces immediately turned grim.
"Hehehe…" Hearing Obito's somewhat provocative words, Kaoru chuckled lightly and said directly, "You bring a bunch of dead people and monsters here to play a game of world domination. Of course, I have to play a game of being a savior and saving the world with them. That way, it's more interesting…"
"Stop the nonsense! This brat dared to appear before us Five Kage alone. Let's take him down together!!!" The Fourth Raikage clenched his fists, having been extremely annoyed by Obito's disregard for him since the beginning.
"Don't be too naive, Fourth Raikage…" Hearing the Fourth Raikage's words, Kaoru shook his head helplessly and said calmly, "Common sense dictates that he wouldn't come to the Five Kage Summit alone, would he?"
Although in the original story, Uchiha Obito dared to barge into the Five Kage Summit with just Sasuke, relying on his Kamui ocular ninjutsu. However, things had changed drastically from the original story. With Kaoru alone here, Obito dared not rely too heavily on his ocular ninjutsu, as he knew very well that even if he remained intangible, Kaoru might find an opportunity to kill him.
"As expected of Uchiha Kaoru, you guessed correctly!" Obito stared intently at Kaoru for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed.
Then, a spiral ripple spread out from Obito's right eye.
!!!
In the next instant, the previously somewhat empty conference room was suddenly filled with figures, occupying half of the room.
"These people are…"
Seeing this, everyone present, except for Kaoru, couldn't help but gasp. The Kage of each country recognized the people led by Uchiha Obito!!!
Four figures stood before them. The two in the center were a man as strong as the Fourth Raikage, with a similar appearance, while the other looked like a young boy holding a green weapon. Seeing these two, the Fourth Raikage and Mei Terumī's expressions changed.
"Father…" The Fourth Raikage couldn't help but cry out as he looked at the white-haired man before him. Mei Terumī, looking at the young boy, also murmured, "It's actually… the Fourth Mizukage…"
