Obito said to Kairen, "Kairen, do you want the land beneath my feet?"
Kairen replied with a smile, "So what if I do?"
Obito crossed his arms and said indifferently, "I don't care about the ownership of this land, but I can't just hand it over to you so easily."
"Come! The clash between the Rinnegan and the Tenseigan—this must be a fate spanning a thousand years!"
Kairen suddenly burst into loud laughter: "Hahaha…"
Obito was puzzled. What was he laughing at? Was he that funny-looking?
In the forest not far away, Suigetsu complained, "That guy laughs exactly like Sasuke."
Karin looked carefully. "He really does! Sasuke, could he be your brother?"
"Hmph!" Sasuke snorted and ignored his companion's teasing.
Instead, he activated his Sharingan and carefully observed Kairen's stance. After just one glance, he was utterly shocked.
"This chakra!!"
Karin also noticed it and said with a trembling body,
"H-his chakra is like an ocean!"
Jūgo's Sage Body was extremely sensitive to chakra. To him, Kairen seemed like a piece of nature itself.
Samehada moved restlessly on Kisame's back, seemingly unable to wait to defect to Kairen's side.
Kisame revealed a shark-like grin. "How absurd"
After laughing, Kairen became serious. "Obito, do you really think that single Rinnegan of yours can contend with me?"
Obito frowned. "What are you trying to say?"
Kairen's hand was basically four twos with two jokers—a perfect hand. If he lost with such cards, standing on his head washing his hair ten thousand times wouldn't even be enough punishment.
Kairen slowly revealed his trump card.
"Obito, what I possess isn't just the Tenseigan."
As soon as he finished speaking, a purple six-tomoe Rinnegan appeared on his face.
Everyone widened their eyes and couldn't help but cry out.
"The Rinnegan!!"
Obito looked stunned. "That eye? How could you possibly possess the Rinnegan?"
"Haha… Not just the Rinnegan. There's also the Byakugan, Mangekyō…"
Kairen's eyes kept transforming—one moment the Byakugan, the next the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Kabuto was also dumbfounded. "How can a human body contain such powerful Kekkei genkai?"
Kabuto could obtain the special powers of the Sound Four. Even the Shikotsumyaku and Karin's abilities could be transplanted.
But he never transplanted Wood Release or the Sharingan.
Because these two Kekkei genkai were far too powerful. When combined, they produced intense rejection reactions.
In simple terms—Kabuto couldn't handle it.
Kabuto couldn't handle it, but Kairen could.
As Kabuto felt deep confusion, affection also arose in his heart.
It was love for science. Love for the greatness of human physiology.
Previously, Kabuto desired Sasuke's body. Now his target shifted. He desperately longed to obtain Kairen's body.
After finishing his display, Kairen felt a refreshing satisfaction from inside out.
Since ancient times, whether novels or television, people loved stories where someone shows off and slaps faces.
First, it feels good. Second, it still feels good.
Obito truly began to doubt Kairen's origins. "Who exactly are you? You couldn't have been a nobody before this."
Kairen smiled with folded arms, then half-sat down.
"In that case, I'll tell you the truth of this universe—the past of ninjas, their origin!"
"Doctor Snake, global live broadcast. I'm about to start showing off!"
"Understood!"
A great screen unfolded in the sky, projecting Kairen's image across every corner of the ninja world.
Kairen spoke calmly, "The Uchiha clan possesses a stone tablet recording ancient chapters. The ninja world originated from a Divine Tree. A goddess descended from the heavens, ate the forbidden fruit, and became a tyrannical ruler."
"The goddess bore twins. One was the Sage of Six Paths, the other was his younger brother Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo."
"One inherited the Rinnegan, the other inherited the Tenseigan."
"This was the beginning of Ninshū—the origin of ninjas."
Obito frowned. Madara had never told him about the ninja origin, and he himself knew little. He never expected Kairen to know so much.
Beside him, Black Zetsu—who had always maintained a faceless appearance—panicked.
This is bad. It's over.
Kairen continued, "The goddess and the twins turned against each other, triggering a world-destroying war. That battle indirectly caused the barren lands of the four great nations."
"At the end of the war, the goddess was sealed within the moon. One twin guarded the ninja world, the other protected the seal."
Obito seemed to grasp something and shouted, "If the goddess was sealed on the moon, then the Infinite Tsukuyomi—"
Kairen answered, "The Infinite Tsukuyomi is the sealing formula meant to release the goddess. Obito, Uchiha Madara lied to you. Even he himself was deceived."
"And the true mastermind is the Black Zetsu beside you."
Obito turned his head. The Yin-Yang-faced Zetsu was now only a white face—the black half had already fled.
A thousand-year schemer like Black Zetsu had escaped the moment Kairen mentioned Kaguya being sealed on the moon.
Running away was naked proof. Obito was completely shocked.
So the clown was actually himself!
He fell silent, struggling to accept the cruel truth.
If everything was false, what had his entire journey been for?
The deaths of Minato, Kushina, and countless destroyed families…
He seemed like a joke.
Pain! So much pain!
Obito hid the pain in his heart and asked hoarsely,
"You still haven't explained your origin. What does all this have to do with you?"
Kairen nodded. "Since you want to know so badly, I'll reveal my origin to the world!"
"The Divine Tree came from beyond the heavens. So did I. I descended upon this land from the distant universe."
Without anyone noticing, Kairen changed into a new outfit.
A black-and-white cosmic battle suit, a combat scouter over his left eye, and a tail hanging at his waist.
"I am a Saiyan—the warrior race of the universe. We specialize in clearing parasites from planets for Lord Frieza, then selling those planets at high prices to cosmic merchants."
Obito was stunned. Not just him—everyone watching was stunned.
Warrior race? Saiyans? Why not just say you're God!
Kairen continued fabricating nonsense.
"Every Saiyan is a combat genius. From infancy, we are sent to low-level planets. Upon adulthood, we conquer that planet."
"This planet is my birthplace. I was moved by your compassion, so I decided to join you. Oh right—I even adopted a Dharma name: Son Goku."
"How is it? Sounds nice, right? Soon, a group of evil Saiyans will descend upon Earth. We must gather seven Dragon Balls…"
Seeing Kairen's nonsense-spouting face, Obito grew furious. Unable to vent the pain in his heart, he directly treated Kairen as an outlet.
"I don't believe your nonsense—die!"
The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path rose up. Its massive body resembled a terrifying demon god, roaring as mountains trembled.
Kairen's shadow clone army finally had work to do.
One leader waved a command flag and shouted, "Push the tower!"
"Ura——"
A massive wave of shadow clones charged forward—some firing guns, others launching cannons, all while greeting Obito's entire family without missing a beat.
