One Piece x Naruto: The Uchiha Pirate King

"The Infinite Tsukuyomi is finally about to be unleashed!"

As the Rinne Sharingan activated in the sky, Uchiha Obito's emotions surged wildly. His entire body trembled with excitement, every fiber of his being rejoicing—after all, he had waited for this day for far too long.

Soon, he would realize his dream. Not only would he become the savior of this world, but he would also live eternally in a world where Rin existed, basking in endless happiness.

Yet, precisely because he had yearned for this moment for so long, he couldn't afford even the slightest mistake.

Thus, before casting the Infinite Tsukuyomi, he cautiously took a moment to observe his surroundings.

Something felt too smooth. The reactions of the Allied Shinobi Forces were too strange, and the words of Uchiha Madara—claiming that "everything is under control"—while allowing the Infinite Tsukuyomi to proceed unhindered, struck him as suspicious.

Because of this, Uchiha Obito couldn't shake the unease that something unexpected might happen.

And the moment he looked around, he realized—Uchiha Madara was gone!

His tension spiked instantly. Before he could even locate Madara's shadow, he noticed something even more alarming—most of the Allied Shinobi Forces had retreated!

No, not all of them. A small group remained.

Those who had fled were mere nobodies, but those who stayed… were all legendary figures of the shinobi world!

"What are they planning?"

Obito's anxiety deepened as his gaze locked onto the figures below.

Then—his eyes widened in shock.

Because standing among them was none other than Senju Hashirama!

"What is that bastard Hashirama trying to do?!"

The presence of both Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama unsettled him to the core. Even now, having achieved the power of the Six Paths, he couldn't afford to underestimate these two.

"It seems I'll have to deal with you first!"

After a moment of deliberation, Obito decided to postpone the Infinite Tsukuyomi and eliminate the potential threats below.

But just as he made that decision—

His body froze.

His eyes darted downward—only to realize that Black Zetsu, the dark mass clinging to his arm, had silently spread across half his body, completely immobilizing him.

"Black Zetsu! What are you doing?!" Obito roared.

Black Zetsu's inky form slithered further, encasing his torso and even his Gedo Statue. Then, a sinister voice whispered into his ear:

"Making sure you don't do anything stupid. Just cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi already."

Obito's face twisted in fury. "So you were Madara's failsafe?!"

Black Zetsu chuckled darkly. "Wrong. I'm no one's failsafe. I am myself!"

Obito's mind raced. "If you're not with Madara, and you also want the Infinite Tsukuyomi, then why stop me from killing them?! That's Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama down there!"

"So what?" Black Zetsu sneered. "Even if they are, we can't afford delays anymore!"

Truthfully, Black Zetsu had noticed the anomaly below. But the situation was too critical—he couldn't risk hesitation now.

Besides, he was confident that no one could interfere with his plan. He trusted in Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's absolute power.

"No matter what scheme they have, the Infinite Tsukuyomi will erase all resistance!" Black Zetsu thought. "Even if a few resist the genjutsu, once Mother is revived, she'll crush them effortlessly!"

Fueled by this conviction, he could no longer tolerate Obito's hesitation. So he seized control.

Obito struggled desperately—but escape was impossible. It was as if Black Zetsu had embedded something within him long ago, ensuring his obedience.

"Why?!" Obito snarled. "Why are you so desperate to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi?! We could wipe them out first, gather more tailed beast chakra, grow stronger—THEN cast it!"

Black Zetsu smirked. "Even now, you still believe the Infinite Tsukuyomi is about 'peace'? That it'll make you a savior, crafting a world to your desires? Fool."

Obito's eyes widened in horror. "You mean… this was all a lie?!"

"Exactly." Black Zetsu's voice dripped with malice. "You and Madara were nothing but pawns. My true goal has always been the revival of my mother, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki! Originally, Madara was the perfect vessel—but that bastard somehow realized the truth and backed out at the last moment, leaving you as the sacrifice!"

"WHAT?!"

Obito's face contorted in sheer disbelief.

Only now did he realize the depth of his folly.

He had arrogantly believed he outmaneuvered Madara.

He had been dancing in the palm of Black Zetsu's hand all along.

Black Zetsu's gaze swept the battlefield once more—still no sign of Madara.

But it didn't matter anymore.

"It makes no difference whether it's you or Madara. Once the Infinite Tsukuyomi is cast, all will be over. This world… belongs to Mother!"

And with those words—

A surge of mysterious chakra erupted from Obito's body, hurtling toward the moon!

At the same time, the shinobi below looked up in shock—as the moon itself began to transform.

The Infinite Tsukuyomi had begun.
