Uchiha, starting from the destruction of the ninja world

Chapter 214 Hanging Street Lights

In the dark and deep cave.

The faint moonlight filtered through the narrow crevice, casting dappled shadows on the damp rock face.

Obito Uchiha was kneeling on one knee, panting heavily, his whole body trembling violently, his face filled with astonishment and uncontrollable terror.

His pupils contracted sharply, his lips trembled, and he kept repeating the unbelievable fact: "Uchiha Gen...it's Kakashi?!"

His voice was hoarse and distorted, filled with shock and disbelief.

"Why...why did it turn out like this!?"

He suddenly raised his head, his gaze fixed on the calm surface of the lake in the center of the cave.

His pale and haggard face was clearly reflected in the water, his eyes filled with unprecedented fear and struggle.

"Uchiha Gen! Show yourself!"

Obito roared at the water's surface with near-madness, his voice echoing through the cave, constantly creating reverberations, but there was never any response.

As the powerful eye energy within him was completely drained, Obito realized that he only had the last bit of power granted to him by the Kamui dimension.

A strong sense of fear and loneliness welled up in his heart, and he began to try to imitate Uchiha Gen's usual cold and confident tone, wanting to regain that familiar feeling of power.

However, no matter how he imitated it, the laughter he forced out of his throat was always dry and distorted, revealing an indescribable absurdity and pain.

"Hehe...hahaha...no, no, why does this still feel off..."

Obito's voice was low and trembling. He covered his face with his hands, his shoulders heaving violently, and he was engulfed in deep confusion and pain.

"Do you really crave to become someone else?"

Obito murmured to himself, his eyes filled with deep confusion and struggle.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed that strange lights were flashing on his arm.

The light was soft and warm, like stars, flowing slowly across his body.

Somewhat surprised, he reached out and touched the points of light. Instantly, a strange power quietly surged into his body.

As these lights flowed, a flood of unfamiliar yet clear knowledge and memories surged into Obito's mind.

Those memories begin with the very origins of the ninja world, describing in detail and truth how the Sage of Six Paths initially dispersed chakra into the mortal world, and how this led to endless conflicts and chaos in the ninja world over the past thousand years.

Each memory pierced Obito's soul like a sharp blade, causing him to clutch his head and crouch on the ground in agony.

"What...what kind of power is this? Why...is this knowledge appearing in my mind...?"

However, this power did not harm Obito. On the contrary, it gently repaired his broken and collapsed body, like a spring breeze sweeping across scorched earth.

Since Uchiha Abyss's power was drained, his originally extremely weak body has gradually recovered its vitality and become stable and strong.

Obito felt a gentle yet vast power surging within him. He involuntarily raised his hand and was surprised to find that a soft and pure light was slowly emerging from where he had lost his right eye.

That radiance was not an ordinary pupil, but slowly coalesced into a brand new eye.

Unlike the blood-red Mangekyou Sharingan of the past, this newborn eye is clear and bright, containing a pure and holy aura, and exuding an indescribable warmth and tranquility.

As Obito gazed at his reflection in the water, an unprecedented clarity and tranquility rose in his newly formed pupil.

This is the "Seed of Light" left by Otsutsuki Genji in the ninja world, which took root and sprouted within him, gradually growing.

"So, this is your real purpose..."

He looked down at his newly transformed palms, feeling the ever-growing power of light, and a surge of indescribable emotion welled up in his heart.

Sandstorms swept across the vast Sand Village, and a thick, cold, and murderous aura permeated the dilapidated streets.

The bustling village is long gone, and everywhere exudes the desolation of the post-war era.

At this very moment, in the square in the center of the village, Chiyo and Ebizo, two once highly respected elders, were bound hand and foot and knelt on the ground in a sorry state.

His aged face revealed unspoken sorrow, yet his eyes remained resolute, devoid of any fear or cowardice.

Kazekage Rasa was also forcibly detained and made to kneel to the side, his eyes filled with anger and helplessness.

He wanted to fight back, but he was firmly restrained by the dense crowd of believers of light all around him and could not move.

Meanwhile, Sasori of the Red Sand and Kisame Hoshigaki stood on the high platform in the center of the plaza, coldly looking down at the captured people.

Sasori of the Red Sand slowly raised his hand, manipulating countless transparent chakra threads, raising it high like a puppeteer, his movements devout and solemn, as if some kind of sacred ritual was underway.

As he did this, tens of thousands of followers of light gradually gathered in Sunagakure. Their eyes were fervent and devout, and they held candles, quietly waiting for Sasori of the Red Sand to announce his crimes.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of such believers had gathered around the square.

Sasori of the Red Sand looked up at the sky, his voice cold and solemn, and slowly and clearly announced: "Here, in the name of light, I hereby put to trial the two masterminds of this war, Chiyo and Ebizo."

Upon hearing this, the believers in the square all looked up and responded in unison: "Punish the masterminds of the war!"

Chiyo silently lowered her head, closed her eyes, and let Sasori's cold voice echo in her ears.

Ebizo's gaze was deep and sorrowful. He did not speak, but simply looked at Sasori, who had been completely changed and had become a stranger. The pain in his heart was indescribable.

Sasori of the Red Sand continued his cold pronouncement: "Chiyo and Ebizo instigated the Third Shinobi World War, abused their power, and caused countless innocent villagers of Sunagakure to die in the war. All these crimes are clear and unforgivable!"

Having said that, Sasori of the Red Sand manipulated his chakra threads without hesitation, hoisting Chiyo and Ebizo up violently. The two elders' bodies were displayed mercilessly before the crowd at the entrance of Sunagakure.

Chiyo slowly opened her eyes at that moment. She looked at her grandson, whom she had once loved dearly but who was now cold and heartless, and her eyes were filled with pain and sorrow.

In the end, she didn't speak or resist; she simply closed her eyes and let everything end there.

Ebizo closed his eyes, a single, aged tear sliding down his cheek. Then, the two of them died together, their bodies hanging silently above the gate of Sunagakure.

The believers in the square erupted in deafening cheers and shouts, extremely excited about the so-called righteous act of trying the masterminds of the war.

Luo Sha witnessed the tragic deaths of the two elders, his heart filled with intense struggle and anger, yet he was tightly bound and powerless to do anything about it.

Immediately afterwards, Sasori manipulated the power of light and forcibly modified Rasa, turning him into a new tool for Sunagakure, assisting in managing the environment of the Land of Wind.

Luo Sha gradually lost the will to resist, and his eyes revealed a calm and numb expression, turning him into a loyal but selfless puppet.

Meanwhile, the One-Tailed Shukaku within Gaara had already been forcibly extracted, and Gaara himself had been completely transformed by Sasori of the Red Sand using a strange and gentle light technique.

He became a gentle and non-aggressive novice monk.

His eyes became clear and calm, and all traces of murderous intent vanished, replaced by tranquility and peace.

"The reorganization of Sunagakure is complete. Next, it's the turn of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the believers erupted in cheers and devout shouts once again.

Scorpion looked down indifferently at the devout believers, his eyes revealing a cold and resolute expression.

The sandstorm raged around Sunagakure, and the sky gradually darkened, as if mourning the fate of the village.

On the other side, Tobirama Senju and Hashirama Senju encountered Madara Uchiha, Black Zetsu, and others.

Black Zetsu and Tobirama exchanged a glance and snorted.

Hashirama Senju glanced at Madara with a complicated expression: "Madara...have you been deceiving me all along?"

Madara Uchiha turned his head away upon hearing this: "You're just too stupid."

This operation was a complete failure.

Not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but the Gedo Mazo and the Tailed Beasts were also captured by Nagato.

Thinking of this, Madara Uchiha said, "Let's go back to Kirigakure first and discuss countermeasures. What about Kakashi's situation, and the remaining followers of the Light..."

The most important thing is how to deal with Nagato.

After all, he possesses both the Rinnegan and the Tailed Beasts.
