In fact, it's easy to understand. Even in a world without supernatural powers, if one day the top leadership of a great power suddenly announces the end of the world, it will certainly cause tremendous panic and make countless people believe that it is really coming.
The area of Dead Silence remained calm, not showing the slightest sign of disappearing.
And not only Uchiha Obito. At this moment, all the people in the world who possessed at least some strength were waiting and watching, waiting for the Area of Dead Silence to disappear.

Mount Myoboku.
— Great, the Child from the prophecy has appeared, now Uchiha Yue is finally going to die!
— Great!
"Wait, why hasn't he died yet?"
— Why is this darkness still not gone?
All the toads gathered in the monastery of the Great Toad-Sage. They looked at the crystal ball, and their mood changed from initial delight to dejection. Now, they gawked their eyes so that they almost burst, but they did not see any significant changes in the dark abyss, which continued to expand.
The invincible Child from the prophecy, like a stone thrown into the ocean, raised only one bubble on the surface, and that was the end of it.
Had... had the Child of the prophecy failed? Destroyed by Uchiha Yue?
A terrifying, blood-curdling thought appeared in their minds.
No, no, it can't be. How could the Child from the prophecy be no match for Uchiha Yue?
Some Uchiha Yue, how could he possibly become an opponent for a Child from the prophecy?
After all, this is a Child from the prophecy, recognized by Mr. Jigen himself and even enhanced by his own power! This is not some crook from the street. How could a fully awakened Child from the prophecy fail to deal with Uchiha Yue?
However, no matter how much they hoped, the darkness never disappeared. Anxiety and terror gradually grew in their souls. Some toads began to croak excitedly, venting their fear.
At the same time, in the great countries of the Shinobi world, those who did not get on Noah's Ark and did not even know about the "Plan to hide from the world" were also waiting. They were waiting for the triumphant return of the Child from the prophecy, they were waiting for the complete disappearance of the Area of Dead Silence, but their expectation turned out to be only disappointment.
The darkness was still there, and the appearance of the Child from the prophecy did not cause the slightest ripple in it.
The Absolute Demonic Mecha could only run at full power for ten minutes.
Moreover, after entering the Area of Dead Silence where his energy was constantly being absorbed, he would not have lasted even ten minutes.
A minute passed, and they were full of hope, because it was only a minute. Two minutes have passed — it's okay. Three minutes have passed — Uchiha Yue is really strong. Four minutes have passed, five minutes…
It's been ten minutes!
Half an hour has passed, an hour has passed…
They were still waiting for something. But what were they really waiting for?
Deep down, their hearts had already sunk like a stone. However, having not seen the Child of Prophecy's defeat, having not seen his death, they still clung to the last spark of hope in their despair.
***
The child of the prophecy has been defeated!
The one they had such high hopes for, the one who, according to the prophecy, was supposed to destroy Uchiha Yue and save this world, had lost!
The one whom Jigen strengthened at the cost of his own life has lost!
— How could the Child from the prophecy lose? With this kind of strength, with this mech, defeat was impossible! And he also had the strength of the Ten-Tails, such absolute power, how could he lose?!
Uchiha Yue only possesses a pair of Mangekyo Sharingans. It was already unthinkable that he had turned into a calamity capable of destroying the world, but how could he become a rival for the Child from the prophecy?
In the Pure Lands, the Sage of the Six Paths silently gazed at the Area of Dead Silence. He knew that the Child of the prophecy had fallen. It died there, silently and ingloriously.
No, actually, there was a small wave. Just now, the Area of Dead Silence trembled for a moment, and then... everything went quiet.
If he had been resurrected, would he have been able to defeat Uchiha Yue?
This thought flashed through his mind, and the answer was impossible!
Not to mention that he hasn't been a Ten-Tailed jinchuuriki for a long time, but even if he was, so what?
Wasn't the Child from the prophecy jinchuuriki Ten-Tails?
And didn't it lose?
It lost so tragically, so hopelessly, that it didn't even cause a splash.
This Uchiha Yue was scarier than his mother.
"Sharingan... how can he have such a monstrous power?" I... I shouldn't have allowed this damn blood to be passed on!
The Sage of the Six Paths regretted it. If he hadn't given birth to a son named Indra back then, or if he had castrated him himself, perhaps a monster like Uchiha Yue would never have appeared?
A thousand years ago, he saved this world. And a thousand years later, the world died because of him.
— Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, and Uchiha Itachi... ah, you did a good job!!!
— Good job!!!
The Sage of the Six Paths clenched his fists until it crunched. After the failure of the Child of Prophecy, he finally thought about the root cause of everything that was happening.
And the root cause was only that a few idiots wanted to destroy the Uchiha clan, and this affected Uchiha Yue!
Uchiha Yue wasn't even a ninja, he was just an ordinary man with Uchiha clan blood. An ordinary man who eventually became the death of the whole world. No matter how you look at it, it seemed absurd, incomprehensible.
The Sage of the Six Paths felt as if his breath had been taken away. The more he thought about it, the worse it got. Damn it, damn you all!!!
This world was destroyed for such a simple and even ridiculous reason. He really wanted to cross time, violate his own principles, resurrect and strangle these idiots like Sarutobi Hiruzen. Or go back to the past, to Indra's birthday, and castrate him manually so that the evil blood of the Uchiha clan would be interrupted.
Everything that has just happened is not a predestination of fate, not some kind of insidious conspiracy, but just an accident unexpected by everyone. Uchiha Yue's existence can be considered a malfunction of this world, something that should not have appeared. It wasn't an inevitability, but rather like a fleeting miracle that happened by chance.
If the Uchiha clan had not been destroyed, or if Shimura Danzo and the others had been prevented from exterminating it, then Uchiha Yue's birth could almost certainly have been prevented. Yue's appearance was a cruel joke of fate, the fruit of the "change of the heavenly will" by Shimura Danzo and his henchmen.
Others, wanting to rule the world or destroy it, made countless plans and wove intrigues that encompassed the entire world. And they?
They just destroyed one Uchiha clan and thereby destroyed the whole world.
