Naruto: With Favorabiltity System

Chapter 452: The Obsessive Uchiha

???

Haneda found himself at a loss for words to refute Obito.

The Infinite Tsukuyomi truly could encompass everyone, bringing happiness to all.

After all, the order Haneda sought to create revolved around punishing evildoers and promoting ideals of truth, goodness, and beauty.

But to a born wrongdoer, such a world would be cruel.

Would it be better to let them live and harm others, rather than executing them for their crimes?

In the end, Haneda realized something shocking—Obito was the true idealist!

As for counterarguments, Haneda had to admit he was not skilled in persuasion and knew little about philosophy. Left without a solid rebuttal, he shared the legend of the Sage of Six Paths that was once told in jest:

"Obito, the Infinite Tsukuyomi is nothing more than a conspiracy.

"The Divine Tree you summoned once absorbed the natural energy of this planet in ancient times, producing a fruit.

"That fruit was the original source of chakra.

"The Sage of Six Paths' mother, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, consumed the fruit, ended human wars, and was revered as the Rabbit Goddess.

"However, for some reason, she used a technique similar to the Infinite Tsukuyomi to turn humans into White Zetsu.

"She later gave birth to two sons, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo and Ōtsutsuki Hamura.

"Hagoromo fell in love with a human girl, but Kaguya chose that very girl as a sacrifice for creating White Zetsu.

"On that day, Hagoromo and his brother rebelled against their mother.

"The ensuing battle left the world in ruins. In the end, the Sage of Six Paths emerged victorious. He sealed the Divine Tree—the Ten-Tails—within himself, becoming its jinchūriki.

"On his path of redemption, he performed countless good deeds, but he realized his power alone was limited. Thus, he created Ninshū in the name of love.

"Like Kaguya, the Sage had two children. The elder was Indra, and the younger was Asura.

"Much like Kaguya, Indra grew resentful of the favoritism shown to his brother Asura. This led to a rift with his father and brother. Before his death, Indra reincarnated his chakra into his Uchiha descendants.

"Asura did the same.

"Over time, Ninshū declined, but the consequences of the great battle endured.

"Before Kaguya was sealed, she gave birth to a third child: Black Zetsu.

"Black Zetsu manipulated Indra into rebelling against his father and brother.

"He sought to combine the power of the Uchiha's darkness with the Senju's strength, thereby creating the Rinnegan to resurrect the Ten-Tails and use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to revive Kaguya.

"For generations, Black Zetsu lurked in the ninja world, orchestrating conflicts between the reincarnations of Indra and Asura. Eventually, he succeeded in fulfilling his goal through Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.

"Yes, Madara and Hashirama were the previous reincarnations of Indra and Asura's chakra.

"This generation's reincarnations are Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto."

!!!

Madara, who had been listening quietly, perked up at the mention of his and Black Zetsu's names. His wariness flared.

Was Haneda speaking the truth, or had he fabricated the story?

The tale seemed complete, with both familiar and unfamiliar elements. This was precisely why Madara doubted Haneda.

A seed of suspicion took root in Madara's heart, but his plans remained unchanged.

After all, Black Zetsu was his creation. How could he not know its true nature?

To him, Black Zetsu was the embodiment of his will—his absolutely loyal shadow!

No one understood Black Zetsu better than Madara.

Obito, equally obsessive, also dismissed Haneda's words as lies intended to stop the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

However, unlike Madara, Obito absorbed Haneda's words.

He had always been wary of Black Zetsu, and now his suspicions deepened.

Still, he remained resolute. Even if Infinite Tsukuyomi was linked to Kaguya's resurrection, what of it?

Infinite Tsukuyomi was a genjutsu. If it was tied to absorbing chakra or a potential manipulator like Black Zetsu, Obito was prepared to take the risk.

"Haneda, Infinite Tsukuyomi is real. You can't deceive me!"

"The only reason I've indulged this conversation is to buy time, haven't you noticed?"

"Two minutes remain. Once the time is up, whose ideals are correct will become clear!"

Obito's voice echoed across the battlefield.

Seeing Obito's unshakable resolve, Haneda sighed inwardly.

As expected, not even the truth could change things.

The obsessive Uchiha would not stop until they hit rock bottom.

Obito wasn't insane—he was extremely rational. He could justify his actions with countless reasons, proving to himself that he was right.

This obsession made it impossible to turn back.

"It seems I have no other choice," Haneda muttered, forming the Seal of Opposition.

Obito noticed Haneda's hand signs and immediately mirrored them, memories flashing through his mind.

"No matter if you're above the Sage of Six Paths—I am the Second Sage of Six Paths, the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki!

"I only need to hold out for two minutes. Time will prove me right!"

Obito gripped his staff, which transformed into the Heavenly Marsh Spear—a weapon said to have created the first landmass. The Sage of Six Paths had used this blade to shape the world.

The spear's power increased with its wielder's resolve, and Obito's unshakable will made it all the more formidable.

When Haneda unleashed the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, capable of splitting the moon, Obito held his ground.

"My resolve is unbreakable. No one can defeat me—not even you, Haneda!"

Floating in midair, Obito locked eyes with Haneda, his words and will equally unyielding.

Below, Kakashi muttered, "I didn't expect Obito's resolve to be this strong. No wonder Haneda said he wouldn't turn back until he fails."

"Will Haneda unleash his trump card now?"

Curious, Minato asked, "Kakashi, what trump card?"

Kakashi replied, "Obito's feelings for Rin.

"Haneda and I retrieved Rin's body from the Kamui dimension. Haneda can bring her back at any moment.

"If Obito sees Rin, will he change his mind?"

Minato fell silent, contemplating. The old Obito might have turned back, but this Obito...

His resolve was far too strong.
