Push Comes to Shove-Part 5
Pein was dead. Not just his Paths. But the man himself. To Uchiha Obito A.K.A "Tobi" of the Akatsuki, it was of not great loss. The man was dying for sometime now and was only alive due to his Uzumaki genetics. What did matter was the Uzumaki had somehow learned of the Moon Eye Plan (via Zetsu's death) and decided to ruin it. Not only did the fool Nagato manage to weak him during their fight, but stalled him long enough for his paper bitch of a woman to take the Rinnegan Eyes once belonging to Uchiha Madara, and leave Ame for Konoha. He would have pursued Konan, but Nagato had used the last of his chakra to create a barrier seal tied to his life force that prevented him from leaving it. Even the Uchiha's own Kamui ability was proven ineffective and had to wait until Nagato died, which sadly was several days.
Damn Uzumaki's and there seals. It was any wonder their clan was destroyed. Zetsu had done his job well over the years in manipulating certain events to bring fear to the hearts and minds of others when it came to that clan. The Uzumaki and their intimate Mastery over Fuinjutsu would have been a threat to the overall plan, at least according to the plant creature, and he had gone from village to village to spread fear of the clan. All in order to make them ally against the Uzumaki Clan and prevent their skills in Fuinjutsu from being allowed to grow.
Only now, it seemed that skill had come back to bite him, and the Moon Eye Plan right in the ass for one last act of defiance.
By the time Obito got free from the seal barrier, he was sure Konan had already made it to Konoha (going anywhere else would be foolish), and told them everything she knew. Considering she was Nagato's right hand and knew about him being the true leader, Obito knew he would have to act on his own at this point. He would have take out all the heavy hitters from each Shinobi village in order to truly break them long enough for him get all nine Biju into the statue. The Uchiha had hoped to revive Madara to make things easier in crushing the future opposition of the big five Shinobi villages, but without the Rinnegan, or the Edo Tensei for that matter...Obito was on his own.
Not that it matter. Obito was strong enough to handle them all should a fight break out against them should they band together. Once all his enemies were crushed, Obito would form the Juubi once more, and use his eyes to take control of it in order seal the creature into his body. With his new found power, the Uchiha would use the Moon itself to cast a world wide Tsukuyomi, and bring the world under his control.
A world where Rin lived and they could be together. A world without Kushina. A world without her son or the Uzumaki Clan. A world without people like Danzo, Orochimaru, and even Kakashi.
A world where all things were perfect to him and him alone.
"We have been doing this in the wrong order. We have been targeting the weakest to the strongest of the Biju. We should have done it in reverse. So that is what I will do. With the Kyuubi under my control, I can have it attack Konoha within its own walls, and go or Kumo next. Once done, I will target the other Shinobi villages until they are broken, and disorganized with their Jinchuriki dead or badly wounded. Once I obtain all nine beasts, I will seal them into the statue here in Ame while under my Sharingan's power so there will be no screw ups!" said Obito to himself before leaving via Kamui.
He never noticed blackish gray tone looking more like a statue was watching him silently before it went "poof" to report his findings.

"Konan was a big help with this Intel. To think Uchiha Obito was alive all this time and even Madara himself to a point," commented Tsunade while reading the report Ibiki had given her after Konan had submitted to his interrogation.
Konan even placed a preservation jar with the Rinnegan into the Hokage's hands as a show of good faith of her willingness to cooperate. Everything she knew and Nagato knew from the past to their recent actions had been written up into multiple reports for the Hokage to read.
