Wake up and smell the…..

Obito seem to pause for a second, his eyes wide before throwing his head back and laughing. He manage to recover as the ninja surrounding him looked at him oddly. "You're telling me that you actually believe that... That bullshit? World peace via an illusion? Oh come on, I thought you were smarter than that Hatake!"

Kakashi glared up at his former friend. "That's what you want isn't it? To unite to Bijuu into the Juubi and use its power to ensnare the world in an illusion."

Obito just shook his head, amusement written across his scarred face. "Tell me, do you even know what the Bijuu are? They're weapons to be used. Your Shodaime thought distributing them would keep the peace in an, everyone has a sword to everyone else's neck kind of way. That is just, stupefying!"

The Uchiha dodged a series of Jutsu thrown at him by the allied ninja, a single glance enveloping a dozen of them in a cloak of black fire. "That was probably Madara's biggest problem with the tree humper. Oh sure, petty jealousy and age old hatred had its part but Madara didn't agree with the plan to just hand out walking chakra beasts all willy nilly. It would have been different if it was a part of a plan to destroy the others, giving them unstable weapons and using an illusion to set them on a rampage but no! The tree humper actually thought it would work! Peace, feh."

Kakashi eyed the Uchiha, mind reeling. "So why do you want the Bijuu?"

Obito waved his arms around, gesturing to the full might of the Allied Shinobii. "Helloooo! Peace through unity! I've managed to unite the world by giving them someone to hate, someone to fear. I'm the monster that goes bump in the night for them, the Bijuu were only an end to a means. I stirred up old hatreds, a kidnapping here, a massacre there that ultimately gave them a challenge to eventually overcome or be ground beneath."

Obito started laughing, a measure of insanity slipping into his voice. "Guess what, most of those who were so eager to go to war were the first to die. I ground Onoki to dust under my boot, helped Sasuke kill Danzo and sparked the war that killed the third Raikage. The 3 chief warmongers of the past are gone! Look around, can you honestly say it was better before? Sure there were a few less craters but we would have eventually gone to war again and again and AGAIN!

Now look, you stand side to side with Kiri Shinobi, the son of the Yellow Flash is guarded by Shinobi of Iwa and Hyuuga battle alongside the sons and daughters of Kumo. I did this, I united you all!"

A swirling vortex of chakra manifested around Obito's Sharingan as the possessed Jinchuriki began to disintegrate. He turned to Kakashi one last time. "Goodbye Kakashi, make this last."

And with that, he disappeared, never to be seen again.
