Chapter 132 The Valley of the End (Please Subscribe)

When Itachi Uchiha regained consciousness, what greeted his eyes was a vast and boundless sky and rugged mountains.

He was standing on the distant border of the Land of Fire, surrounded only by the chilling mountain winds whistling past his ears and fluttering his black cloak.

Itachi struggled to his feet, his body still wracked with intense pain, but his vigilance and fear far outweighed the physical agony.

Looking up, he saw the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, standing quietly atop the opposite peak, looking down at him.

Hiruzen's face had returned to calm, making him seem unfathomable.

Itachi slowly stood up, trying his best to stabilize himself, and warily watched Hiruzen opposite him.

Upon seeing Itachi finally awaken, Hiruzen's voice was devoid of any emotion:

"Itachi, no matter how you see me, there is only one thing you truly need to be loyal to, and that is Konoha, this village. That is your primary duty as a ninja."

As he spoke, Hiruzen steadily descended the peak, gradually approaching Itachi.

His gaze seemed to be scrutinizing Itachi's heart. "Your current physical condition is not qualified to fight me."

"However, in the future... I have removed the third Sharingan from your forehead, and with the Wood Release cells you absorbed before, you will definitely be able to unleash far greater power than you are now."

Upon hearing this, Itachi had to admit that Hiruzen's words were an undeniable fact.

That third eye of Shisui had been eroding his body from the very beginning, severely disrupting the balance of chakra within him.

Even with White Zetsu cells, he couldn't truly unleash his full potential.

Now, Hiruzen has personally removed this strange Sharingan. Although his motives were not pure, objectively speaking...

It did indeed remove a huge constraint on Itachi, allowing his body to finally be truly released and restored.

"The ninja world is on the verge of destruction. Uchiha Abyss's true agent is Uchiha Obito, not me."

Uchiha Abyss's true agent:

Itachi is conflicted right now.

As long as Sasuke remains in Hiruzen's hands, he will not dare to make any rash moves.

Hiruzen seized upon his weakness while also articulating his own stance.

After a long silence, Itachi slowly lowered his head and said nothing more.

He remained silent because he knew he had no choice.

Seeing that Itachi had finally made his choice, Hiruzen's face once again revealed a kind and gentle smile.

"Go back, Itachi. Return to Akatsuki and continue the mission you are supposed to complete."

Itachi nodded silently, turned around, and slowly began his heavy journey back to the Akatsuki organization.

As Hiruzen watched Itachi's departing figure, his smile gradually grew brighter and more satisfied.

A ninja is someone who endures pain and pressure that ordinary people cannot bear, and shoulders responsibilities and burdens that ordinary people cannot shoulder.

As Hokage, he had to shoulder all the responsibilities and burdens to make Konoha truly rise.

Hiruzen slowly closed his eyes, and his heart gradually returned to peace and tranquility.

He was well aware that everything he did was not influenced by Uchiha Abyss or anyone else, but rather stemmed from his own genuine choice and determination.

The impending catastrophe facing the ninja world, though a disaster, will also be his best opportunity to realize his dream and revive Konoha.

"The Sharingan has never been a curse; it is merely a powerful tool. As long as one can maintain inner balance and one's true self, one will not be controlled by this power."

The future of Konoha, and the future of the ninja world, all need his guidance and control.

He will not allow any force to shake his inner beliefs and determination.

"Itachi, you are a smart child. I sincerely hope that you can become the best ninja in Konoha and help me achieve this goal."

Hiruzen opened his eyes again, the light in them even sharper.

"The future ninja world will surely be dominated by Konoha."

As night deepened, Kakashi sat alone in his camp, meditating and contemplating how to better integrate his chakra nature and further perfect the Sage Mode power into his ninjutsu to enhance his combat abilities.

Suddenly, a strange spatial fluctuation shattered the tranquility of the camp.

Kakashi instantly looked up alertly, locking his gaze on the distorted space in front of him.

Accompanied by vortex-like spatial fluctuations, Obito Uchiha, wearing a strange vortex mask, slowly appeared in front of Kakashi.

"Obito!"

Kakashi's voice was deep, and he gathered chakra almost the instant Obito appeared, preparing to fight.

Obito slowly raised his hand, signaling him to calm down, and said in a low voice, "Kakashi, I've come to see you today not to fight, but because there's something I need to discuss with you."

"Something important?"

Obito's gaze, peering through the holes in the mask, silently fixed on Kakashi...

"Tomorrow morning, at the Valley of the End, I will have a secret meeting with Danzo and another infected person with the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"The topic of the meeting is very simple; it concerns Uchiha Abyss."

Uchiha Abyss:

Obito continued slowly, "While Uchiha Abe can grant us powerful eye abilities, he also harbors a huge hidden danger. He could use these powers to control us at any time, making us pawns in his complete resurrection and control of the ninja world."

"Therefore, the purpose of this secret meeting is to discuss how to prevent Uchiha Awakening from being completely resurrected and how to break free from his control."

As soon as he finished speaking, Obito's figure transformed into a spatial vortex once more, swiftly disappearing from Kakashi's sight.

Kakashi was left alone, standing silently in place, lost in deeper thought and struggle.

Almost simultaneously, Danzo, who had not left the Land of Rain and was still lingering on the border, also received a letter from Obito.

The Valley of the End at dawn.

The enormous stone statues standing on both sides of the valley are symbols of the earth-shattering battle between Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.

The clear waterfall cascades down, its roar echoing, creating a mist between the two colossal statues, adding to the mystery and solemnity.

A strange spatial fluctuation swept by, and beneath the vortex-shaped mask, Obito Uchiha slowly revealed his figure from the void. Dressed in a black cloak, he coldly surveyed the familiar yet unfamiliar scene before him.

Just then, Danzo stepped out calmly onto the calm water, his expression as cold as frost, his sharp gaze fixed directly on Obito.

"Danzo, you really came. ::"

Danzo, however, showed no fear upon hearing this. His gaze turned sinister as he coldly asked, "Obito Uchiha, what is your relationship with Madara Uchiha?"

Obito's tone was filled with sarcasm and arrogance: "Me? I am the successor of Madara Uchiha's will, his representative in this world."

Danzo's gaze darkened slightly upon hearing this, clearly dissatisfied with Obito's answer.

At that very moment, Kakashi quietly appeared at the other end of the Valley of the End, silently and coldly watching the two people facing each other.

Upon seeing Kakashi's arrival, Danzo's eyes narrowed, and he turned to ask coldly, "Kakashi, is Uchiha Abyss's last Mangekyou Sharingan in your hands?"

Faced with Danzo's aggressive questioning, Kakashi remained calm: "I have no comment on that question."

As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere became even more tense and strained, the tension between the three reaching its peak.

It felt as if a fierce battle could erupt at any moment.

At this tense moment, a strange and enormous chakra suddenly rose quietly in the Valley of the End.

The next moment, accompanied by a huge roar, the image of the heretic suddenly rose slowly from the bottom of the Valley of the End. Its huge and ferocious body was suspended in the rushing waterfall, exuding a sinister and oppressive aura.

Danzo stared intently at the heretical image before him, his gaze heavy and cold.

He was quite familiar with this strange Buddha statue.

Whether during the Five Shadows Conference or in their previous encounters, he had long sensed that there was a hidden entity within the Outer Path Dharma Image, but the true identity of that person still puzzled and alarmed him.

That sense of familiarity...

This greatly displeased Danzo.

In contrast, Kakashi looked at Obito, and the two stared at each other silently, exuding a subtle and dangerous aura that could ignite a life-or-death battle at any moment.

"Obito, what exactly are you trying to say by going to such lengths to gather everyone here today?"

Obito laughed maniacally: "The reason I summoned you here is naturally to discuss how to completely resolve the problem of Uchiha Abyss."

"Because I already have a way to completely kill Uchiha Abyss."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the Valley of the End instantly froze.

Although Obito's words were calm, his tone conveyed an undeniable sense of control and confidence.

"Our interests are aligned until Uchiha Abyss is completely eliminated."

However, his words did not receive the expected response. The heretical statue in the center of the waterfall remained standing coldly and solemnly, without any reply, while Danzo and Kakashi maintained their solemn expressions.

Because they all knew very well that among everyone present, only Obito truly harbored the desire to destroy the world.

Kakashi broke the silence first: "Obito, I just hope you can give up that crazy idea of ​​destroying the world."

Danzo gave a cold snort upon hearing this, and slowly drew a black wooden sword from his waist. The cold blade reflected a chilling luster in the morning light.

Almost simultaneously, he and Kakashi focused all their attention on Obito, and their auras quickly coalesced.

Danzo's tone carried a clear threat and warning: "Obito Uchiha, this is not the Five Kage Summit."

The implication is that Danzo didn't truly reveal his strength at the last Five Kage Summit.

Upon hearing Danzo's words, Obito suddenly threw his head back and let out a maniacal and ear-piercing laugh:

"Hahahaha!"

The maniacal laughter echoed through the Valley of the End, as chilling as the wailing of a vengeful ghost.

His smile gradually twisted and became insane, his eyes revealing a sinister fanaticism and arrogance, and his Mangekyou Sharingan emitted a captivating and eerie light.

"The reason I dared to gather the three of you here is because I am confident enough to completely suppress you!"

The instant his words fell, Obito's left eye suddenly unleashed an unprecedentedly powerful ocular force—the Mangekyou Sharingan belonging to Uchiha Abe...

At this moment, it burst forth with a dazzling crimson color, and a vast pressure swept across the four directions, causing the entire Valley of the End to tremble!

However, just as Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan's oppressive aura swept across the Valley of the End!

Danzo suddenly swung his black wooden sword, striking the heretical statue with overwhelming force...

call out!

An astonishing power of the Dry Wood Release erupted from Danzo's hand, violently colliding with the power of the dry wood surrounding the Outer Path Statue, creating a tremendous shockwave!

From inside the statue of the heretic, Hiruzen's somber voice suddenly rang out: "Danzo, what are you doing?"

Danzo snorted coldly, his voice sharp as he replied, "One in the open, one in the shadows—you and Obito put on a good show, secretly luring Kakashi and me out. That was his real plan."

To deal with something like this from Uchiha Gen...:

It's strange that these words came from the mouth of a world-destroying madman...

Absolutely impossible!

Danzo concluded that Obito did not possess such intentions.

This tactic involves deliberately feigning madness to expose weaknesses, and then delivering a fatal blow.

This is exactly the same tactic they used to scheme against Tobirama-sensei during the Five Kage Summit.

Danzo reacted quickly.

Relying on instinct and intuition, he locked onto Hiruzen inside the image of the Outer Path.

"Since you're targeting me, it means we both have something the other needs."

Danzo grinned maliciously, staring at the person behind the image of the heretic.

"Even now, are you still hiding in the shadows, sneaking around? It's pathetic."

Faced with Danzo's verbal attacks, the heretical Dharma Image remained silent.

As for Kakashi, he chose not to understand what Danzo was saying.

Upon hearing this, Obito was clearly taken aback, a slight sense of surprise and embarrassment rising within him.

Is my acting really that bad?

His original intention was to use his equipment to fight three opponents at once, and then have the Hijiri in the Buddha image temporarily betray him, thus reversing the situation.

Unexpectedly, Danzo was so astute in discerning his true intentions.

With Danzo's reminder, Kakashi instantly became alert.

Faced with Kakashi's spatial lock, Obito merely sneered, his voice filled with provocation: "Kakashi, do you really think you can stop me?"

Kakashi's gaze sharpened upon hearing Obito's provocation, and he said no more.

In an instant, his eyes suddenly changed: the blood-red Sharingan in his left eye and the golden snake eye in his right eye simultaneously shone with an astonishing brilliance.

Magical arts!

As a deep voice rang out, Kakashi's vast Sage Chakra rapidly spread out, causing the space around the Valley of the End to distort violently, and a terrifying and domineering gravity suddenly spread out from him.

During the fog, the air became so heavy it almost solidified, and the space where Obito was located was instantly distorted and stretched...

Obito was immediately shocked; he hadn't expected Kakashi to have mastered Sage Mode.

But Kakashi's attack was as powerful as thunder!

Countless Storm Release rays converged on his body, releasing a sky full of beams of energy that blasted directly at Obito.

With Kakashi keeping Obito in check, Danzo dared not be careless when facing the Outer Path of Dharma alone, fearing that he would be tricked again, just like last time.

Therefore, he directly chose to use withered wood to strengthen his physical body.

As the four infected individuals from Uchiha Abyss were drawn together, a cluster of fire moths appeared out of nowhere, floating lightly onto the waterfall, their wings fluttering.

Scattered with faint sparks. P.S.: I'm dizzy, I don't know what I'm writing today, so I won't check or proofread.
