Uchiha, starting from the destruction of the ninja world

Chapter 197 The Truth (Part 1)

In the desolate ruins of the Land of Demons, Obito fell into a long period of contemplation.

Finally, he sighed and decided that he still needed to find someone to discuss this matter with.

After much deliberation, he set his sights on Black Zetsu.

In an instant, the Kamui dimension spun and opened, and Obito's figure swiftly traversed space and time, heading straight for the Land of Fire.

At this moment, Black Zetsu was lurking deep in a dark forest, quietly gathering information about the Tailed Beasts.

Just as he was about to slip into the darkness, a familiar spatial fluctuation suddenly came from behind him.

"Hmph... Black Zetsu!"

Black Zetsu suddenly turned his head, and Obito's strangely pieced-together face gradually became clear!

"you..."

Black Zetsu stared at Obito warily: "What do you want with me?"

Obito thought for a moment, put on his mask, and began to imitate Uchiha Genji's usual tone: "It's about Otsutsuki Genji. I have some information, and there are two key points."

A moment of silence...

Black Zetsu stared at the abstract Obito...

For a moment, unsure how to respond, Black Zetsu finally spoke, "What's the key point?"

Obito's tone became even more arrogant...

He succinctly relayed the information he had gleaned from Uchiha Gen to Black Zetsu: "First of all, Otsutsuki Gen is not a complete soul."

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu's eyes flickered, seemingly unsurprised.

Orochimaru had already made some predictions, and it seems that the situation was indeed as he suspected.

Obito paused, then continued, "Another key figure is the Uchiha Pillar. He has a direct connection with Otsutsuki Genji."

"Stone pillars?"

Obito slowly began to speak: "Back then, one of Uchiha Hashira's Sharingan was transformed into a mysterious scroll by Konoha. The contents of the scroll are closely related to the limited Tsukuyomi world, while the whereabouts of his other Sharingan remain unknown to this day."

"Another Sharingan from the stone pillar?"

"We don't have many clues at the moment; the only clue is probably that painting."

Speaking of that painting, the one depicting Black Zetsu rescuing his mother...

Black Zetsu felt a surge of irritation...

As for Obito, he snorted coldly: "From now on, it's up to you."

It was obvious that Obito only breathed a sigh of relief after finding someone to commission an investigation.

In the camp on the outskirts of Konoha.

A giant slug from Shikkotsu Forest suddenly appeared and slowly moved in front of Tobirama.

"Tobirama-sama."

"This was given to you by Lady Tsunade."

The scroll on the slug's back slowly unfurled, revealing a familiar yet eerie painting before Tobirama.

The painting has been restored to its original form, depicting Black Zetsu rescuing his mother.

He hesitated for a moment, then looked up and asked, "How is Tsunade now?"

The slug's tone was slightly sad: "Lady Tsunade left Konoha before the great war began. She didn't want to see her loved ones kill each other again."

It was precisely because of Tsunade's departure...

That's why she avoided getting involved in Konoha being taken over by the Faith of Light.

Slug hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Furthermore, this scroll was actually given to Lady Tsunade by Lord Kakashi through the Reverse Summoning Technique of my Shikkotsu Forest, so that she could then pass it on to you."

"Kakashi?"

How is he doing now?

The slug said in a heavy, low voice, "Ever since Otsutsuki Genji was resurrected through Neji's Reanimation Jutsu, Lord Kakashi has completely shut down his self-awareness and fallen into a deep state of self-sealing."

Tobirama frowned: "Self-isolation?"

Slug said softly, "That's right. He seems to have completely isolated himself from the outside world to prevent Otsutsuki Gen from continuing to draw more power from him."

Tobirama's gaze became more complex: "So, Kakashi can't leave Shikkotsu Forest right now?"

"Yes,"

"The ninja world outside has fallen into complete chaos. Once Lord Kakashi leaves Shikkotsu Forest, he will inevitably be detected by Gen Otsutsuki immediately."

Tobirama remained silent for a moment, then finally sighed, "It seems... we still have to rely on ourselves."

After saying that, he slowly put away the mysterious scroll.

"Slug, please tell Tsunade to make sure she protects herself and doesn't get involved in this chaos again."

"I understand, Lord Tobirama."

As the slug disappeared once more from the summoning jutsu, Tobirama's gaze returned to the distant Konoha Village shrouded in a barrier of light, his eyes revealing an unprecedentedly complex emotion.

Shortly afterward, inside the camp.

Suddenly, Black Zetsu's figure silently emerged from the shadows.

Without waiting for Tobirama to ask, he spoke calmly, "Tobirama, as the incarnation of Uchiha Gen, I have two key clues that may help you completely eliminate Otsutsuki Gen."

Upon seeing Obito's abstract form, Black Zetsu decided to transform into the will of Uchiha Abomination in front of Tobirama.

Regarding Black Zetsu's self-destruction...

Tobirama paused slightly, taken aback. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Black Zetsu remained calm and said, word by word, "The key lies in the Sharingan of the Uchiha Pillar and the scroll in your hand."

"One of Uchiha Hashirama's Sharingan eyes was transformed into that painting, while the other Sharingan has disappeared without a trace."

After repeating Uchiha Abyss's words in a nested, doll-like fashion once again...

Tobirama understood.

It requires using the scroll to open the limited Tsukuyomi world and explore for clues.

"So, what's your relationship with the woman in the painting?"

"Or is the woman in the painting actually Uchiha Abyss himself?"

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu struggled internally for a moment.

Given his status, he would naturally be happy to frame Uchiha Awakening, but when it came to his mother, Kaguya-hime, Black Zetsu was unwilling to go against his conscience and fabricate lies.

So he remained silent, his cold gaze fixed on the painting, choosing not to respond.

"We need the participation of both the Nameless Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha to have a chance to unravel the secrets hidden in this painting."

""

The nameless Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha soon appeared inside the house.

In the center of the tent, a painting exuding a strange aura was quietly spread out on the table.

After the brief explanation, Itachi Uchiha had no questions.

The nameless Uchiha stared coldly at the painting, then glanced at Tobirama: "Isn't this your conspiracy?"

Feeling extremely uncomfortable under the gaze of the nameless Uchiha, Tobirama shook his head: "I won't scheme against you this time..."

""

However, the person in question is anonymous...

However, he did not believe Tobirama's words and left the camp directly.

The distrust of the anonymous person...

This made Tobirama feel a little awkward...

At this moment, Itachi Uchiha quietly cooperated.

Soon, as his Mangekyou Sharingan power was activated...

The combined power of their eyes created a strange vortex.

On the scroll, the figure of the mysterious woman gradually emerged with a faint glow, and a hazy illusion slowly rose from the center of the scroll.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the painting.

"That is..."

Tobirama felt a violent tremor in his heart; he seemed to sense an ancient and eerie power emanating from the painting.

In an instant, the entire interior of the camp seemed to transform into a torrent.

The woman in the painting seems to have her eyes open.

In that instant, a terrifying, suffocating power suddenly filled the entire space.

Then the scene shifts...

Tobirama found himself in the Uchiha clan's territory for the second time in Konoha 37 years ago.

The surrounding area was covered in a vast expanse of snow, with goose-feather-like snowflakes lightly and boundlessly covering the entire world, as if deliberately concealing something.

A biting wind swept through the deserted and desolate streets of the tribe's territory, making people shiver.

"Master! The young master has been born!"

As the sound rang out, Tobirama slowly raised his head and exchanged a glance with Itachi Uchiha beside him. Both of them vaguely sensed a strange and discordant feeling.

"Come with me."

Tobirama spoke in a low voice, stepping into the clan's territory. His feet clattered on the snow-covered ground, making a crisp yet eerie sound.

Stepping into the hall, the warmth of the brazier contrasts sharply with the bone-chilling cold outside, creating a strange and incongruous atmosphere.

"Hahaha! Yuan, you're finally born!"

Uchiha Ishiharu held his grandson in his arms, his face beaming with excitement.

It was a smiling face full of contradictions.

Beneath the smile lay a numb and cold gaze, as if only the outer shell was being manipulated.

Tobirama and Itachi stared at the baby in the stone pillar's arms, their pupils suddenly contracting.

The baby cried without tears, its eyes empty and eerie.

Although he was crying and screaming, his face showed no change in expression, as if he were just a puppet that had been artificially created.

"Tobirama-sama..."

"I remember... Konoha has never had such heavy snow before..."

At this moment, Uchiha Ishiba was mechanically repeating the actions of holding a baby, stroking the top of his head, and whispering, much like a video that was playing on repeat.

Something's not right...

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding scenery began to change drastically.

The buildings in the tribe's territory gradually twisted, the ice and snow solidified into strange crystalline shapes, and the bright lights turned into a dark red glow.

The stone pillar was still happily hugging Uchiha Abyss.

But...

In an instant, Tobirama sensed a series of eerie songs coming from the outside world, like the soft murmurs of a child, subtle yet continuous, penetrating his ears.

The next moment, the space in front of them seemed to transform into a light and transparent bubble, and their senses and vision were confined within this thin dream.

"This... should be the limited Tsukuyomi world created by the Uchiha Pillar..."

Before the words were even finished, the bubble burst.

After the dream dissipated, the previously absurd and distorted scene returned to normal.

At this moment, the two stood in the courtyard of the Uchiha clan. The cold snow was no longer falling, and everything in front of them was unusually quiet, filled with a solemn atmosphere.

Tobirama and Itachi exchanged a glance, then slowly turned their gaze to the dark corridor deep in the courtyard.

At the end of the corridor sat a figure.

Sitting upright in the shadows, surrounded by an inescapable darkness.

"It's the Uchiha Pillar..."

Deep in the corridor, the shadow slowly raised its head, revealing a pale and cold face.

"Yuan... I really hope that you can become the hope of the Uchiha clan."

"You clearly had such outstanding talent, but why... did it all die young..."

Uchiha Ishiba's voice was as indifferent as ice, echoing coldly in the dark space.
