Chapter 686: The Author Is Short and Weak, Can't Let You Be Satisfied

"Zhang Men, kid, have you realized the difference in our strength?"

Madara Uchiha crossed his arms, looking indifferently at the shattered body of Heavenly Pain.

Even though Zhang Men possesses the Rinnegan, he still isn't his opponent.

Unfortunately, the one who came is only a puppet, and he cannot obtain the Rinnegan from the other side.

The Akatsuki members were completely dumbfounded.

Their leader who possessed the Rinnegan was actually defeated by Madara Uchiha.

Among them, Jiaodu's expression was the worst.

The leader isn't Madara's opponent, whereas Madara is Lian Ye's patron.

In other words, the money taken by Lian Ye will never be recovered.

Even if that beast appears before him, he doesn't dare bring up the money again.

Who made him unable to provoke Madara Uchiha and Senju Hashirama…

Damn, wasn't he dead?

Why does he appear again, damn it!

"Pain…"

Xiao Nan wore a worried expression; she hadn't expected Pain to be defeated so quickly.

It seems the person before us truly is the legendary Madara Uchiha, not a counterfeit like Uchiha Obito.

A ripple of disturbance appeared in space.

Uchiha Obito, wearing an orange single‑eyed Uzumaki Mask, slowly emerged, his expression beneath the mask complex.

"Madara, you're not dead!"

Madara Uchiha clearly died, and his corpse was hidden by him.

But the terrifying figure before us is definitely Madara!

What on earth happened?!

Everyone present didn't understand what had occurred.

How did the dead return to the Ninja World?

"It's Obito," Madara Uchiha said calmly, his expression unreadable, "How is the plan proceeding?"

He knew Uchiha Obito's background only roughly from the Fourth Ninja World War.

He also knew that this guy was merely a pawn he had recruited.

Uchiha Obito's pupils suddenly contracted; this guy must be Madara Uchiha!

"The plan is underway."

Although he didn't know how Madara was resurrected, he still answered the question honestly.

Didn't you see Pain's body was smashed to pieces?

He certainly lacks confidence to retreat unscathed before Madara…

You should know that someone can enter his Kamui Space.

If Madara gets angry, hiding inside won't be safe either.

Madara Uchiha nodded thoughtfully at the words, but what followed left Obito completely stunned.

"Give up, the Moon's Eye plan is fake; we were all deceived by Heijue."

Uchiha Obito: "???"

He remembered Lian Ye once told him that they were both someone else's pawns.

At first he thought Lian Ye said it deliberately to make him abandon the Moon's Eye plan.

But now Madara says the same.

"Madara, what do you mean?"

Uchiha Obito's voice turned cold.

Clearly Madara coaxed him into the Moon's Eye plan, and after years the scheme was finally taking shape.

Yet this guy says they were all deceived.

Anyone would find that unacceptable!

Even Madara Uchiha can't pull a stunt like this on himself!

If what he says is true, wouldn't all his years of effort become a joke?

"I said the Moon's Eye plan is fake; we were deceived by Heijue."

Madara Uchiha impatiently repeated it.

Actually he hadn't intended to meddle, but seeing Obito's demeanor reminded him of his former self.

He treats Obito as a pawn; hasn't Heijue also treated him as a pawn?

In the end, they are merely pitiful victims of deception.

Precisely because of this, he was willing to tell Obito not to continue down the wrong path.

Uchiha Obito was completely stunned.

"We were all deceived by Heijue?!"

What a joke!

Isn't Heijue the will of Madara? Why would it deceive them!

It's fake, it must all be fake!

Genjutsu—I'm definitely under an illusion cast by Lian Ye or Itachi Uchiha!

He would rather believe he's under a Genjutsu than admit he was deceived.

Uchiha Obito lives in great pain, and all along he has been using the creation of a perfect world to numb himself.

But now Madara Uchiha tells him that the Moon's Eye plan is false.

Isn't that shattering his illusion?

"I did not deceive you."

Madara Uchiha said in a deep voice.

"Some things, just saying they don't exist, you won't be convinced unless you see them with your own eyes."

Speaking thus, he used Genjutsu on Obito, making him witness the events of the Fourth Ninja World War.

Uchiha Obito fell to his knees in despondence.

"It can't be... it must be false..."

The ideal he had clung to all this time turned out to be Heijue's scheme.

The members of Akatsuki, seeing this, did not know what had happened.

Only Pain and Xiao Nan wore solemn expressions; what exactly were they saying?

Madara Uchiha and Obito were both used by Heijue?

Heijue, hidden in the shadows at this moment: "???".

It had hidden for so many years, and today it suddenly exposed itself?!

And wasn't Madara Uchiha dead? Why has he revived!

Moreover, how did he know the Moon's Eye plan was his own deception?

Heijue was completely bewildered, not understanding what had occurred.

The plan had been proceeding smoothly, yet in an instant it became uncontrollable.

Thus its scheme became a joke!

Becoming a joke in everyone's eyes is a minor issue; the crucial point is that there are no longer Madara Uchiha and Uchiha Obito as pawns.

The sealed mother cannot be rescued!

That is a monumental matter for it.

It had plotted for thousands of years, and now it seemed the mother would be saved any moment.

But this incident occurred.

Heijue even developed a desire to die.

Even now, it does not understand why things that were fine turned this way.

If it were not worried about a point of no return, it would have gone out to confront Madara Uchiha and the others.

"Accept reality."

Madara Uchiha looked at Obito with some sympathy; he too had once been unwilling to believe.

If not for that kid Lian Ye taking him to another timeline, he would probably still be plotting how to realize the Moon's Eye plan.

Uchiha Obito did not respond immediately.

Such a thing is not easy for him to accept.

"Zhang Men, return 'my' eyes to me."

Madara Uchiha ignored Obito and turned his attention to Zhang Men.

Whether Obito believes or not, as long as he takes the Rinnegan, the Moon's Eye plan cannot be carried out.

It's not that he is eager to stop his own self in this timeline; he merely wants to fulfill his promise to give that kid a pair of Rinnegan.

Heavenly Path Pain: "…"

He learned the origin of the eyes from the two's earlier conversation.

It turned out the Rinnegan belonged to Madara Uchiha!

But he does not wish to return the eyes; without the Rinnegan he cannot achieve the Ninja World Peace ideal.

Although he does not understand what the so‑called Moon's Eye plan is, Madara Uchiha and Uchiha Obito being deceived by Heijue has nothing to do with him.

From beginning to end, his goal is to gather Tailed Beasts and intimidate the Ninja World by force, thereby achieving Ninja World Peace!
