Uchiha, starting from the destruction of the ninja world

Chapter 215 Hiruzen and Tobirama

Hidden Mist Village.

After the devastating battle in Konoha, the situation in the ninja world became even more unpredictable.

At this moment, even the factions of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and Madara Uchiha, who had once fought side by side, began to gradually drift apart.

Even though they appeared to be allies on the surface, Hashirama knew very well that Madara Uchiha was not acting solely for the sake of the future of the ninja world.

His eyes concealed a deeper, more obscure scheme and ambition.

However, given the current dire situation, Hashirama could only temporarily suppress his doubts and maintain a superficial alliance with Madara Uchiha in order to deal with the more complex situation ahead.

Meanwhile, in a secluded chamber in Kirigakure, Tobirama Senju and Orochimaru were reviewing their previous actions.

They all looked exhausted, especially Orochimaru, whose body had suffered great injuries, and whose pale and weak face was full of pain and fatigue.

Tobirama's condition was equally dire; he was pale and appeared extremely exhausted, as if he were bearing an excessively heavy burden.

He glanced at the intelligence report on the table and said in a heavy tone, "I speculate that the seeds of light released by Otsutsuki Genji are something similar to a cursed seal, possessing information about his complete power system, but the only difference is that they didn't carry..."

His will or consciousness.

Orochimaru nodded slightly upon hearing this: "Indeed, these Seeds of Light can remain dormant within people for a long time. As for when they will awaken, it is impossible to predict."

"So even if we eliminate all the superficial believers in front of us now, we cannot truly and completely erase the power of light. The seeds hidden among ordinary people are the truly terrifying existence."

Similar to a higher-level cursed seal, it is more accurately closer to the original Otsutsuki clan's Karma seal.

However, the will of Otsutsuki Gen is not present here.

Using the giant Tenseigan of the entire moon as a vessel, it merges the Byakugan power of all the Hyuga branch family members.

Countless seeds of light were created.

This is a huge disaster that the ninja world will inevitably face in the future.

These beings, who grew from the seeds of light, are destined to be at odds with the current ninja world.

Because Otsutsuki Genji denied the existence of chakra, the foundation of the ninja world, from the very beginning.

That's the scariest part...

"Uchiha Abyss devoured Kakashi, but Kakashi seems to retain some consciousness and memories. How could this be?"

Orochimaru raised his head, pondered for a moment, and replied, "This Kakashi, from soul to body, has completely become Uchiha Gen. The fact that he retains Kakashi's consciousness and memories is merely a persona; the one who truly controls everything is still Uchiha Gen's essence."

Upon hearing this answer, Tobirama looked outside...

"His Mangekyou Sharingan has evolved into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, but it seems he has even further plans..."

Is it really possible for the Mangekyou Sharingan to evolve into the Rinnegan?

Orochimaru nodded, his tone quite certain: "Absorbing Kakashi is just the beginning of Uchiha Abyss's plan. His subsequent arrangements are likely for evolving the Rinnegan."

Tobirama sighed deeply, gently rubbing his temples, his tone filled with an undisguised sense of powerlessness and worry.

"Right now, in the sky above the ninja world, that massive meteorite is only nine days away from impact... and Kakashi, who was once able to perform the Inorganic Reincarnation Technique, is no more. The entire ninja world is now in disarray, with no capacity to reunite."

At this moment, Tobirama felt an immense heaviness in his heart. He truly realized that he was facing a predicament that was perhaps unprecedented in the ninja world.

He suddenly remembered his former disciple, Hiruzen Sarutobi, whom he had risked everything to save, and his tone became complicated with anger: "That wicked disciple, has he woken up yet?"

Orochimaru was taken aback: "Sensei, he should have regained consciousness by now."

When Tobirama heard the news, his expression was complex and indescribable.

"Now that things have come to this, I'd like to see what else he can say."

Another secret room in the Hidden Mist Village.

Uchiha Itachi sat in the corner of the room, calm and composed, carefully tending to the haggard and weak Hiruzen Sarutobi in front of him.

After experiencing this series of recent upheavals and hardships, Hiruzen's face was already etched with vicissitudes and exhaustion, making him appear even older and more fragile, with endless guilt and self-blame in his eyes.

Hiruzen sighed softly, his gaze deep and complex as he looked at Itachi before him. His voice was low and weak as he spoke, "Itachi, I'm truly sorry... It's my incompetence that has brought the ninja world to such a chaotic and unmanageable state..."

Upon hearing this, Itachi looked up at Hiruzen, his tone gentle and respectful: "Hokage-sama, please don't blame yourself like this. The situation in the ninja world has never been something you can control alone, and besides, this turmoil has already exceeded the limits of what ninjas are capable of."

Hearing Itachi's words, Hiruzen felt a little relieved, but his gaze remained heavy and anxious.

He paused, then suddenly turned to Itachi, his voice heavy with worry, and asked, "Itachi, is Sasuke... still in Madara's hands?"

Mentioning his younger brother Sasuke, Itachi's eyes instantly dimmed and became complicated. After a moment of silence, he nodded helplessly.

Head: "Sasuke is indeed still in Madara Uchiha's hands."

Upon hearing Itachi's reply, Hiruzen's face flashed with a complex expression, his eyes flickering slightly, as if he had made up his mind about something.

He slowly raised his right hand and carefully took out a Mangekyou Sharingan that he had hidden for a long time from his pocket.

It was Fugaku Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Itachi, this is a Mangekyou Sharingan left behind by your father, Fugaku..."

"Perhaps this eye can help you in your next move."

Itachi gazed at the Mangekyou Sharingan in Hiruzen's hand, which carried his father's power and memories, and his heart was filled with unprecedented turmoil.

Hiruzen continued, "Fugaku's other Mangekyou Sharingan is now in Madara Uchiha's possession. According to my information, Madara has modified that Sharingan into a special blade and given it to Sasuke."

"But this Sharingan has a special connection with your father's. Perhaps it can help you find Sasuke, or even reclaim that Mangekyou Sharingan."

After a long silence, Itachi stared at the Mangekyou Sharingan that Hiruzen had handed him, his eyes revealing an undisguised sorrow and worry.

This kaleidoscope might be his only hope of being able to reunite with his younger brother Sasuke.

"Itachi, the situation in the ninja world today is more complex and dangerous than ever before. I entrust your father's Mangekyou Sharingan to you. Only you can truly unleash its power and protect our last remaining hope."

Itachi remained silent for a long time, his heart filled with complex and conflicted emotions.

Finally, he slowly extended his hands and solemnly accepted the Mangekyou Sharingan.

His palms trembled slightly.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama..."

"Itachi..."

"From now on, it's up to you. Perhaps only you can truly make up for and end the regrets and suffering of the Uchiha clan. I'm entrusting Sasuke to you."

Itachi nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with an unprecedented determination.

"Lord Hokage, rest assured. I will definitely bring Sasuke back, protect Konoha, and protect the ninja world... This is the mission and duty I must fulfill as a ninja."

As soon as he finished speaking, Itachi slowly stood up, his eyes regaining their calm and determination.

Hiruzen watched Itachi's retreating figure, a mixture of indescribable emotion and anticipation rising in his heart.

Shortly after Itachi left, Tobirama appeared...

He's been there ever since Hiruzen took out Fugaku's Mangekyou Sharingan and gave it to Itachi Uchiha.

But he did not stop him.

Upon entering the house, he exchanged a glance with Hiruzen, and the two remained silent for a long time.

After it cooled down for a few minutes...

Tobirama spoke softly, "Giving Itachi that Mangekyou Sharingan is a good method and approach."

Hiruzen could not deny this: "To deal with the Uchiha, we still need to use the Uchiha themselves."

With a snort, Tobirama glared at Hiruzen and said, "Take good care of your injuries."

"Yes...teacher."
