World of Dreams

Still in disbelief over what has happened, having killed the Hidden Mist ninja and ignoring an unconscious Kakashi, Obito cradles Rin's lifeless body. Obito then remembers Madara and White Zetsu's words while vowing to change the world into one where Rin lives, returning to Madara as a changed person. After teaching Obito the means to summon the Gedo Statue along with imparting all his skill and knowledge, Madara uses a Yin-Yang Style ability on White Zetsu to infuse the creature with an embodiment of his will: Black Zetsu. Madara then dies after severing his connection to the Gedo Statue which prolonged his life, telling Obito to act under his identity until the day Madara is resurrected by the one he transplanted his eyes into: Nagato. Soon after, now going by the name Madara Uchiha with Zetsu accompanying him, Obito arrives to the Hidden Rain Village where he meets Nagato and his friends. Though Obito tempts Nagato with his knowledge and offer to aid him in achieving peace, Yahiko gets his friend and Konan away. Obito ignores Yahiko's threat to stay away while telling Nagato that he would wait for him at the same time and place everyday until he accepts the truth of his words. Soon after saving orphans from a bandit named Kyūsuke whose group they win over to their cause, Yahiko decides to name their group the Akatsuki.
