Uchiha, starting from the destruction of the ninja world

Outside Konoha Village, in the territory of the Uchiha clan.

The once glorious tribe is now nothing but desolation.

Abandoned streets, empty and desolate mansions—everything has been forgotten by time.

Because it is far from the center of the village, the devastating fire that killed the dead trees last time did not reach this area, and the clan mansion is exceptionally well preserved.

The largest of the mansions has now become the Hokage's temporary office, serving as a temporary meeting place for Konoha's high-ranking officials.

However, one mansion was completely sealed off...

This is the place where Uchiha Gen once lived.

The sealing technique specially set up by the sealing team completely isolated the house from the outside world, making it impossible for ordinary ninjas to set foot inside.

Tobirama Senju stood at the doorway, his face solemn.

He stretched out his hand and quickly formed several complex hand seals, causing the sealing barrier to slowly loosen.

The moment the door opened, a cool, refreshing atmosphere rushed out.

Tobirama stepped into the room and scanned his surroundings.

The mansion is furnished in a very simple style, with minimalist decorations that exude a sense of tranquility.

In the center of the room sits an old chessboard with black and white pieces arranged like stars.

He wore a long black robe adorned with the Uchiha clan's fan emblem, the hem of which was casually draped over, as if it had been hastily laid down when its owner left.

Beside the chessboard, an ink painting scroll and a wooden figurine stand quietly to the side.

Scroll...

Wooden statue...

After Tobirama noticed these details...

He stared intently at the chessboard, then gently picked up a black piece. His fingertips trembled slightly, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

He hesitated before putting the chess piece back in its original position.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, whispering, "Orochimaru..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the shadows inside the room shifted slightly, revealing Orochimaru, Tobirama's most important ally in secret.

"Second generation sir..."

Tobirama's expression was grave: "Things have become more complicated than I anticipated. Hand over those sacrificial offerings you used for the Impure World Reincarnation last time to me immediately."

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow slightly, already having a premonition that Tobirama would use the White Zetsu's corpse to personally revive his elder brother, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

After all, the situation in the ninja world is already getting out of control, and the pressure from other ninja villages is closing in step by step. The most direct way to break the deadlock and deter all sides is to demonstrate absolute power that can suppress the entire ninja world.

For Tobirama, the First Hokage was his last and most powerful trump card.

Orochimaru stopped wasting words and directly took out a scroll that sealed White Zetsu from his sleeve and handed it to Tobirama.

Tobirama silently accepted the scroll, then handed Orochimaru another scroll with a complex formula printed on it.

"This is the Flying Thunder God teleportation array scroll I recently developed. Take it and use it; it will make your future travels much more convenient."

Orochimaru took the scroll, examined it carefully, and couldn't help but exclaim sincerely, "The Second Hokage's creativity in pushing his own limits is truly admirable."

"To be able to develop such exquisite ninjutsu in just a few days is truly the best in the ninja world."

At this moment, Tobirama's focus was mainly on the things that mattered most to him...

"Uchiha Sasuke, how are things now?"

"Sasuke's training is progressing rapidly, and his growth rate is exceeding expectations. But the thing you're worried about hasn't happened yet."

Tobirama frowned: "You mean, was he infected by Uchiha Gen's eye technique?"

Orochimaru shook his head and chuckled: "There are currently no indications that Sasuke has been affected by Uchiha Gen's eye power."

"His will is unexpectedly strong, or rather, astonishingly stubborn. But to be truly certain whether he has completely broken free from the curse of the Abyss, we will probably need to observe him further."

After hearing Orochimaru's words, Tobirama remained silent for a moment: "Itachi Uchiha has already been here..."

Orochimaru's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this: "Itachi? What did he do in Konoha?"

Tobirama nodded slightly, and then recounted in detail to Orochimaru the whole story of how Itachi Uchiha used Izanami to try to break Uchiha Gen's eye technique, but ultimately failed and suffered a backlash.

Listening quietly, Orochimaru meticulously recorded everything Tobirama said, then analyzed it with a serious expression...

"Even Itachi's use of Izanami failed to break Uchiha Gen's eye technique, which means that Uchiha Gen's eye power may have been further enhanced and strengthened, or even... reached an extremely rare state of mutation."

Speaking of mutation, Orochimaru's eyes gleamed with excitement and danger, and his voice became deep and magnetic:

"In fact, the fire that broke out in Konoha a few days ago was very likely direct evidence of the further mutation of Uchiha Abe's eye power... The inextinguishable flames may be a terrifying manifestation of the combination of eye power and the power of the Dry Wood Release."

In fact, Tobirama had the same conclusion, so he remained silent.

"Second Hokage, this mutation of eye power is not merely an increase in strength, but more likely a breakthrough in a completely new level of understanding. It may even overturn our previous understanding of the Sharingan."

At that moment, Tobirama recalled the scroll in the secret room...

As Orochimaru spoke, a greedy and fanatical light gradually appeared in his eyes...

This alienation likely means that his abilities are no longer limited to ninjutsu or illusion, but have begun to directly influence and even rewrite reality and rules.

After confirming some of the information with each other, Tobirama continued his analysis.

"Regarding the planetary destruction and the nature of the Uchiha clan's curse, I've come up with a method that might be worth trying."

Upon hearing this, Orochi's eyes flickered, as if he had already thought of a similar method. He then smiled and replied, "What a coincidence, Second Hokage. In fact, I have also come to a similar conclusion, which is..."

Their eyes met, and they said almost simultaneously, "Reanimation Jutsu, Uchiha Shisui!"

"Reverse Uchiha Abyss's conceptual understanding and make a second wish."

After he finished speaking, the room fell into a brief silence.

Then, Tobirama broke the silence first:

"As long as Uchiha Shisui returns to the present world, he can regain control of the desire for peace in the ninja world and make more specific and concrete conceptual revisions to prevent the world-destroying ending originally set by Uchiha Gen."

If Uchiha Shisui is pulled back to the present world, he can then compete with Uchiha Gen for control over the desire for peace in the ninja world.

Correcting previous misconceptions...

This was also one of the most reliable methods that Tobirama and Orochimaru found when investigating Uchiha Awakening's Mangekyou Sharingan abilities and breaking the planetary destruction law.

In fact, as the two smartest people in the ninja world at present, they made the most reasonable deduction based on the information about the Mangekyou Sharingan abilities that Uchiha Awakened currently possesses.

Orochimaru felt a vague, inexplicable unease...

Did it really go so smoothly into the Edo Tensei world...?
