Uchiha Obito claimed that Vegapunk could never replace him to impersonate Uchiha Madara, but in reality, he felt quite uneasy.
The intelligence from this period had given Uchiha Obito a deep understanding of Vegapunk's scientific capabilities; the man was no ordinary figure, and his research into science had already delved into unimaginable fields such as Kekkei Genkai and Chakra fusion.
If there was anyone who could figure out how to seamlessly fuse his Mangekyo Sharingan without placing too much of a burden on the user, the Vegapunk before him might be the only candidate!
The other party had even developed White Zetsu, and Wood Release and his own inferior Sage Body clearly couldn't stop him either. Combined with his own eyes falling into the other's hands, in other words, the opponent could completely become a powerhouse with the exact same abilities as him through transplantation.
With the same abilities and even the same memories, the other party could completely learn to impersonate Uchiha Madara and join the Akatsuki Organization just as he had.
The more Uchiha Obito thought about it, the more unwilling he became. However, Vegapunk already waved his hand: "Whether I can do it or not, you can naturally see for yourself in the future. For now, are you not planning to leave?"
"I..."
Uchiha Obito clenched his fists and then released them. Despite being extremely unwilling, he didn't think his current self could oppose Vegapunk. Moreover, as a loser, being able to keep his life was already good enough; he seemed completely unable to stop whatever the other party wanted to do.
"Why are you letting me live? Aren't you afraid I'll leak your plan?"
"Leak it! To whom? That bunch of freaks in the Akatsuki Organization? Do you think they care if the person under the mask is some random person?"
"Furthermore, what kind of person are you now? What right do you have to know such top secrets? And how many people would believe what you say?"
Opening his mouth, Uchiha Obito sat down dejectedly. Having lost his White Zetsu cells and Mangekyo Sharingan, Uchiha Obito only had the strength of an elite Jonin. Such strength might be considered decent in the Ninja World, but facing that group of freaks in the Akatsuki Organization, it clearly had no persuasive power.
Perhaps after saying just two sentences, he would be killed by an Akatsuki Organization member who found him annoying! If that happened, his death would be far too pathetic.
"Then after you impersonate me, what do you want to do? Is it also to implement the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan? Or are you after those Tailed Beasts?"
After pondering for another moment, Obito finally asked. Vegapunk had a smile on his face: "What? Don't you act like you don't care about anything?"
Seeing Obito's face turn red, as if he were on the verge of flying into a rage out of shame, Vegapunk waved his hand and put down the mask in his hand:
"Rest assured, I actually have no interest in joining the Akatsuki Organization. Such a thing would just be beneath me."
"By digging through your memories, I also know your deepest thoughts. The Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan is all fake; wanting to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to create a world with your former crush and escaping the cruel reality is the truth... But what if I give you a chance to make up for the past and redeem all your regrets?"
"What?" Uchiha Obito looked astonished, his eyes wide.
"As long as you cooperate with me for a small experiment..."
...Uchiha Obito had never been a smart person since childhood. Even after his character darkened and his intelligence improved, it was mostly by relying on information suppression and his own mysterious Kamui Ninjutsu; he wasn't truly a wise Ninja.
After a conversation with Vegapunk, Uchiha Obito not only failed to probe Vegapunk's background but was instead drawn to Vegapunk's experiment, eagerly wanting to become Vegapunk's test subject.
Yes, he wanted to become the primary test subject for Vegapunk's Parallel World travel!
Although the last Parallel World travel was very successful, it was actually caused unintentionally by the riot of the Ryūmyaku and couldn't be considered a true experimental success.
After collecting a large amount of data, Vegapunk was finally ready to launch an autonomous crossing. But before that, he certainly had to conduct some experiments to ensure it was completely safe and worry-free.
According to Vegapunk's calculations, the best way to maintain one's safety during travel was to possess space-time abilities. Although he had already developed Space-time bubble technology, those Space-time bubbles created using machines were far from being as useful or safe as the Kamui Dimension.
Most importantly, the small spaces developed using machines were both rigid and couldn't be truly controlled by a person. If something went wrong with the machine, it would really be Game Over.
Of course, besides Uchiha Obito, he actually had two complete Kamui Sharingan from another world in his hands. If he used cloning technology, he could also create Ninjas who used Kamui, but unless he was willing to invest a lot of resources and time, Clones would be far inferior to the original in terms of potential and ability.
As for directly using Clones to mass-produce Kamui eyes... In fact, the real difficulty didn't lie in the technology, but more in the resources.
With Vegapunk's current technology, even creating a Kaguya Ōtsutsuki would be no problem. However, to make a Clone exert the combat power of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, it would be necessary to fill it with Chakra on the level of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki—according to Vegapunk's estimate, collecting all the Chakra in the entire Ninja World would be about enough.
Clearly, this was simply impossible. Unless Vegapunk could completely crack the mystery of converting various energies into Chakra, an army of Kaguya Clones would always be a false proposition.
But if he really cracked the mystery of converting energy into Chakra, Vegapunk wouldn't need any Kaguya army; he could easily defeat any opponent just by relying on astronomical amounts of accumulated energy.
Vegapunk wasn't incapable of manufacturing the special Chakra required to activate the Mangekyo Sharingan, but the resources that would need to be consumed would make even Vegapunk himself feel a bit of heartache. Unless it was a last resort, Vegapunk would definitely not waste a large amount of resources to manufacture these Mangekyo.
As for those with spatial abilities, besides the Kamui eyes in his hand, the only one left was Hancock, the current Jinchuriki of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
Vegapunk didn't want to let Hancock undergo this kind of experiment. No matter how confident he was in his technology, Vegapunk couldn't guarantee that the first experiment he conducted would be 100% successful. In this situation, Uchiha Obito, this guinea pig, happened to appear before his eyes, saving him the resources of having to manufacture more Clones.
As for how to persuade him? Anyway, Uchiha Obito didn't have a deep understanding of Parallel Worlds; Vegapunk could simply say it was an experiment to return to the past. To save his beloved Rin Nohara, Uchiha Obito almost cried and begged Vegapunk to let him be Subject No. 1.
