Obito Uchiha wanted to eliminate Yahiko, but he couldn't think of a good way to do it. He looked at Shin.
"You want me to eliminate Yahiko?" Shin asked, catching Obito's gaze.
"Killing a mere elite Jōnin shouldn't be a problem for you, should it?"
"It's not a problem, but why would I do it?" Shin asked.
"You're Madara's partner. Don't you want to complete the Eye of the Moon Plan? If Yahiko doesn't die, it'll be difficult to use Nagato." Obito said calmly. He had become quite clever after turning evil.
"I'm not in a hurry to complete the Eye of the Moon Plan. I don't really care about it."
Shin said truthfully. He didn't care if the plan failed.
Obito frowned. Hearing Shin's indifference, he doubted Shin had ever truly cooperated with Madara.
What Obito didn't know was that Madara had been forced to cooperate with Shin. There was no real partnership between them.
Shin had needed Madara to revive Kaguya Ōtsutsuki so he could copy her immortality. But now that he had achieved immortality, there was no need for cooperation.
"Let's go see Nagato Uzumaki first."
Shin jumped down from the tree and headed towards the Akatsuki's base.
Obito was annoyed by Shin's unilateral action. He did want to see Nagato and persuade him, but he hadn't planned on meeting Nagato with Yahiko present.
But now that Shin was already going, Obito had no choice but to follow.
"This place really is primitive,"
Shin looked at the Akatsuki's base. It was just a cave with dozens of people gathered inside.
"We meet again." Shin said with a smile, looking at Yahiko and Nagato.
This was their second meeting. The first time was when Shin went to copy the Rinnegan.
Yahiko became wary. Nagato also stepped forward, ready to fight, and shielded Yahiko.
They had been knocked unconscious by Shin's overwhelming chakra pressure the last time they met, so they were cautious this time.
"You still remember me? I'm honored."
Shin smiled and entered the cave.
Yahiko and Nagato followed him, their faces grim. The other Akatsuki members waited outside. Obito also entered the cave.
"Reaper of the Shinobi World... We don't recall provoking you," Yahiko said.
After their last encounter, Yahiko had investigated Shin and learned his infamous title. He'd been terrified. It was a miracle they were spared.
"You haven't, and I never said you did."
Shin said. Yahiko was speechless. Then why was Shin here? And with a masked man who looked like a villain?
Yahiko glanced at Obito. He didn't trust this guy.
"He's the one who wanted to see you. I'm just here for the show." Shin said, creating a wooden chair with Wood Release and sitting down.
Obito's eyes widened. Shin could also use Wood Release? Did he also transplant Hashirama Senju's cells?
Shin didn't know Obito was thinking that. If he did, he would scoff. He had Kekkei Mōra. Why would he need such a low-level method to obtain Wood Release?
Besides, Obito's Wood Release was just a cheap imitation. It wasn't powerful, and Obito didn't even bother developing it. He relied entirely on his Mangekyō Sharingan.
"And who are you?" Yahiko looked at Obito. He was more wary of Obito than Shin.
Obito, with his mask and sinister aura, seemed like a villain straight out of a storybook.
"I am... Uchiha Madara." Obito said in a deep voice, trying to disguise his voice, but it still didn't sound like Madara.
Of course, it didn't matter. Yahiko and Nagato had never met Madara or heard his voice.
Yahiko was stunned for a moment, then realized Obito was lying. Uchiha Madara was dead. Everyone knew that.
Obito had expected their disbelief.
If he was alone, he would have to spend more time convincing them. But Shin was here now.
"He can prove that I'm Uchiha Madara," Obito said, pointing at Shin.
If Shin helped him lie, Yahiko and Nagato would be more likely to believe him.
"Sorry, I don't know anyone by that name," Shin said with a smile.
Obito was stunned. He looked at Shin, his expression darkening. Thankfully, his mask hid his face.
"Believe it or not, I am Uchiha Madara." Obito forced himself to sound indifferent. Explaining further would only cheapen the act, so better to stay vague and mysterious.
"Even if you are Uchiha Madara, what's your purpose here?"
Yahiko's eyes narrowed. If this man was really Madara, then he was even more dangerous.
"Purpose? I'm not here for you. I'm here for Nagato."
Obito looked at Nagato, who had been silent. He didn't want to talk to Yahiko.
"For me?" Nagato finally spoke, looking at the masked man in confusion.
"Because of your eyes, the legendary Rinnegan, the Sage of Six Paths' eyes, the eyes that hold the power of creation and destruction."
"Nagato, be cautious. This man has no good intentions,"
Yahiko immediately realized Obito's intentions after hearing his words. He was worried Nagato would be deceived.
Obito was furious. He had to get rid of Yahiko. He couldn't manipulate Nagato with Yahiko around.
"Since you possess the Rinnegan, you must understand its purpose," Obito said to Nagato, hiding his killing intent.
Shin watched the scene with amusement. He knew Obito was trying to deceive Nagato.
