Naruto: I Confronted the Five Kage Before the System Arrived

Chapter 288: The Encounter of Obito and Madara

The foundation of the Tsukuyomi world is his true self.

After arriving in this world, Hagoromo Gengetsu naturally became the main character of this world, deeply connected to it.

In this way, he could experience everything here.

And only with such deep bonds could he truly sink into it.

As for the original protagonist of the Limited Tsukuyomi world, feeling abandoned and stripped of everything, "Hagoromo Gengetsu" naturally harbored extreme resentment towards his true self.

Of course, no matter which version of Hagoromo Gengetsu it was, they would not be swayed by these sudden emotions.

The reason for the confrontation?

Simply put, they don't believe in fate.

"The Ten-Tails... the power of the Six Paths... in this world, I can have a preliminary experience and rehearsal."

Although he was passively brought into this world, Hagoromo Gengetsu still found some benefits for himself.

For instance, seeing his clansmen again; for instance, a rehearsal with the Ten-Tails.

"I just wonder how much of the Six Paths' power this Limited Tsukuyomi world can display."

Hagoromo Gengetsu looked at Haru, who was playing nearby, with anticipation.

On the other side.

As Hagoromo Ruri issued the orders, the previously peaceful ninja world immediately became turbulent again.

"Capture the Tailed Beasts? Just in time, Shukaku is in the Land of Wind. I'll go capture it now."

Senju Hashirama, who was afforesting the Land of Wind, had no objections when he received the mission. Knowing that Hagoromo Gengetsu wouldn't betray old friends, and considering the generous mission rewards, he set off immediately. Capturing Shukaku was a piece of cake for him.

At the same time, Kaguya Ryunosuke, the current clan leader of the Taketori Clan in the Land of Mist, smiled excitedly and said:

"Time for battle again!"

He didn't care much about the mission rewards. As long as he could earn rewards and battle powerful enemies, he was happy to do it.

Uzumaki Ashina, on the other hand, was a bit reluctant. Getting old, he preferred to spend more time with his family.

However, thinking about his granddaughter beside Hagoromo Gengetsu, he could only sigh and continue working hard.

"Tailed Beasts? Just in time to measure my current strength."

Uchiha Madara, wearing a blue Uchiha robe, casually discarded the letter in his hand. With his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan gleaming with eagerness, he glanced towards the Hagoromo clan's direction.

Finally, he picked up his gunbai and strode away.

Defeated by Hagoromo Gengetsu, Uchiha Madara had never forgotten his desire to avenge his shame.

Battling a Tailed Beast would help him gauge his strength's progress.

Thus, he set off.

During this time.

The long-lost peace continued in the Limited Tsukuyomi world.

However, unbeknownst to most people, dark currents were stirring.

In the eastern seas, waves rolled fiercely; in the mysterious mountains and forests, huge rocks kept falling; in the vibrant flower fields, the sound of wings flapping was deafening.

One battle after another, worthy of being called top-level in the ninja world, kept happening.

Some involved people and Tailed Beasts, while others were between individuals.

"The strength of the Tailed Beasts is weaker than expected."

Surrounded by high-temperature steam that corroded everything around it, Uchiha Obito looked at the panting Five-Tails, formed from the fusion of a dolphin and a horse, and said indifferently.

Beside him, Black Zetsu was unsurprised and said, "After all, this is the world under the Limited Tsukuyomi. It's normal for the Tailed Beasts to be somewhat weaker than in reality."

"If the Tailed Beasts are like this, then what about people?" Uchiha Obito thought of "Hagoromo Gengetsu."

Black Zetsu: "That guy is special. Also..."

Suddenly, Black Zetsu paused.

He turned around, narrowed his eyes, and said with an ambiguous tone, "If you really want to know about people, you can test it now."

"What do you mean?"

Uchiha Obito was puzzled.

Suddenly, he sensed something and turned to look.

Then, he saw a man in red layered armor, carrying a Uchiha gunbai, with thick black hair and a pair of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan looking down at him.

"Uchiha Madara!" Uchiha Obito's mind shook, and he slowly spoke.

Although he had only seen Madara in his old age, at this moment, Uchiha Obito recognized at a glance that this was the man who left him a vast legacy. Without him, there would be no Uchiha Obito of today.

And this was Uchiha Madara in his prime.

Even if this man differed from the Uchiha Madara he truly knew, Uchiha Obito did not dare to be careless.

He quickly asked, "Zetsu, does this Uchiha Madara know you at this time?"

Black Zetsu spread his hands, "That would be several decades later. I haven't even been born yet."

"In that case, it seems we have to fight." Uchiha Obito's gaze sharpened.

Uchiha Madara was clearly here for the Tailed Beast.

Just as well, he could use this opportunity to test Madara's strength and prepare for possible future scenarios.

Quickly.

Uchiha Madara stepped forward, standing before Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu. With a casual glance, he couldn't be bothered to ask more and said coldly:

"Leave, or die."

Hearing this, Uchiha Obito casually asked Black Zetsu, "Was Madara always this arrogant?"

He remembered Madara being quite patient when teaching him in his old age.

Black Zetsu shrugged, "He's already very polite now. In the past, he wouldn't even say this sentence."

"I see, then I should feel honored."

Uchiha Obito said, flicking his sleeve, and an iron chain instantly fell into his hand.

Seeing this, Uchiha Madara's expression remained unchanged.

"Since you've made your choice..."

Uchiha Madara gripped the gunbai behind him with his right hand, a smile tugging at his lips, and said with anticipation:

"Then dance to your heart's content! Entertain me to your fullest!"

With a blast, the battle began.

Half an hour later.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The majestic Perfect Susanoo was in full force, shaking the earth and mountains. Uchiha Obito kept dodging.

When he once again phased into his Kamui dimension, Black Zetsu, who had hidden there earlier, chuckled and asked:

"How is Madara's strength?"

Uchiha Obito remained silent.

Black Zetsu continued, "This isn't even his strongest form. He hasn't evolved his Rinnegan, and his current strength is somewhat weaker."

"Obito, your assessment is correct. In this world, the Tailed Beasts and people are generally weaker."

Obito continued to remain silent.

Even this weaker Uchiha Madara had him running around. What did that make him?

Black Zetsu looked at the somewhat dejected Uchiha Obito and shook his head internally.

This was why, despite Obito's efforts, he still kept Madara in his plans.

Madara was simply too strong.

Black Zetsu didn't dwell on the topic and reminded him, "Don't forget, the primary mission now is the Tailed Beasts, Obito."

Obito pulled himself together and nodded, "I've led Madara away. Now I'll capture the Five-Tails."

With those words, Obito quickly moved through the Kamui dimension.

In a swirl of space, when he reappeared, he was right next to the unconscious Five-Tails.

Before Uchiha Madara realized something was amiss and rushed over.

Obito activated his Kamui, pulling the Five-Tails into his dimension.

Before the enormous warrior blade of Madara's Perfect Susanoo could strike, Obito followed suit and phased into the Kamui dimension.

In the end, Uchiha Madara was left standing alone, staring at the now empty scene with a look of displeasure.
