Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 178 Black Zetsu: What's wrong with the moon? The Eternal Eye of Light!

"These guys."

While Hagoromo was "beating a drowning dog," Nagato and the others were also focused on the battle.

However, the same question that came to their minds was the same as Yuzhi's: how come these people are all so weak when they are so strong?

Such contradictory thoughts should not normally exist; strength is strength, and weakness is weakness.

But these people in front of them really shattered their preconceived notions.

The white chakra these guys released when they attacked was clearly of unimaginable strength.

But once they made their move, their speed, strength, and even the angle of their attack were so poor that they were dumbfounded.

For a moment, they didn't know whether to say that these people were terrifyingly strong or incredibly weak.

This question really confused them, because they genuinely couldn't understand what was going on with this group of people.

However, even if they don't understand the situation, they will not hesitate to strike. As ninjas, they are just like Yuzhi, only knowing how to "beat a dog when it's down"!

As they continued their relentless attacks, more and more Otsutsuki from the moon fell to their hands.

And as time went on, they seemed to begin to believe the haori and what they said.

"Is this... the moon?"

They had naturally heard what the Otsutsuki clan leader said, but they all found it unbelievable.

This place is nestled among mountains and rivers, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers; it seems vastly different from the barren moon.

But upon closer reflection, they seemed to think it made sense, since hiding on the moon seemed to be the only way to avoid being found in the ninja world.

Moreover, despite their immense strength, their overall power is so weak, clearly indicating a lack of sufficient combat experience to develop the necessary combat skills.

"This also means they avoided those numerous great wars in the ninja world!"

Only by avoiding such battles and living such a comfortable and safe life could they have developed into this state of being "highly capable but incompetent".

For a moment, Nagato and the others didn't know whether they should envy them or despise them.

However, at this moment they had no time to care about the state of these guys; another matter was lingering in their minds.

"Hamura-senpai, a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths, does Indra also have Asura?"

What Yuzhi said now seems to be the truth. The Sage of Six Paths actually had a brother, which was something they never expected.

What surprised them even more was that the Hyuga clan in the ninja world had such a powerful background, so how did they end up so pathetic?

Could it be because he just arrived in the ninja world and got beaten up, causing him to lose his inheritance?

The Hyuga adapted to the ninja world, and their combat skills became ridiculously strong, but their abilities also deteriorated.

Compared to these "Hyuga" in front of them, their strength is far inferior, but it is undeniable that if they really fought desperately, these "Hyuga" might not be a match for them.

The descendants of the Sage of Six Paths' brother have undergone such changes, while the descendants of the Sage of Six Paths himself seem to have some rather bizarre circumstances.

Thousand Hands and Uzumaki are descendants of Asura, but they themselves don't even know it?

At least Nagato himself was a little confused. Red hair was the symbol of the Uzumaki clan. Could it be that he was actually a member of the Uzumaki clan?

"And Scorpion is also red-haired, could it be him too?"

Nagato didn't know what Sasori was thinking, but he did know one thing: the Uchiha and Senju had been enemies and constantly fighting each other since records began!

Is it really reasonable for the descendants of brothers to fight like this?

And regardless of whether it's reasonable or not, what he found even more unbelievable was the haori.

"That guy said the Fifth Hokage is 'Indra'?"

Nagato was thinking to himself, and so were the other Akatsuki members.

That guy didn't mistake Uchiha Hotaru for "Indra," but instead directly targeted the Hagoromo.

Moreover, it must be said that Yuzhi's strength is indeed somewhat outrageous, which made them have a thought.

"Could this guy actually be the reincarnation of Indra?"

Once the idea took hold, it became impossible to suppress. After all, it was so ridiculously powerful that it was hard not to have wild fantasies.

"Let's finish this battle first. Once everything is over, we can investigate further. After all, according to him, this place holds the deepest secret hidden in the ninja world."

The Akatsuki members couldn't help but mutter to themselves, but at that moment, a burst of chakra so violent it was suffocating suddenly erupted!

In an instant, the earth began to tremble violently, and the suffocating chakra roared incessantly.

Looking around, one can see a huge stone statue roaring and rising from the ground not far away.

Meanwhile, on the other side, a Susanoo, its body shrouded in veil and ink, resembling a demon, quietly appeared.

"Divine Sky Strike?"

Although Yuzhi didn't quite understand why this guy had to shout out his moves before attacking.

Even the most immature people in the ninja world would only shout it out in their hearts; shouting it out loud is just giving others a hint.

But despite not understanding, Yuzhi's eyes twitched when she actually heard what this guy said.

He naturally knew what "Divine Sky Strike" was, which made him extremely vigilant at this moment.

Even though he heard it, the so-called "one move" that this guy was talking about was not to be underestimated, no matter which move it was!

hum-

Just as Yuri was pondering, a fist imbued with terrifying Yang Release chakra and an unstoppable will slammed into him.

This punch, carrying a violent force and a terrifying wind, instantly tore the earth apart, and the booming sound of the explosion kept ringing in Yuzhi's ears.

As the earth shattered, it also directly destroyed the surrounding buildings.

Clearly, these buildings were simply unable to withstand the impact of that punch; even the aftershocks were too much for them to bear!

Smoke and dust swirled, the earth crumbled, and even the Otsutsuki clan chief was slightly out of breath as he stood there.

Using "Divine Sky Strike," even just "one move," is no simple matter.

"Divine Sky Strike" is the strongest finishing move of the Otsutsuki clan. This move has eighty variations and, when combined with the Byakugan, can form a perfect combination of offense and defense.

Unfortunately, no one can now fully utilize the "Eighty Gods Air Strike".

Even in the past, their ancestors were unable to do it, which is why they broke down the "Eighty Gods' Void Strike".

Now, they can no longer easily unleash even their later moves!

If he hadn't been corrupted by the power of the Tenseigan, perhaps he could have given it a try.

After all, he had used it during the desperate war with the main family back then, but now he is old and his body can no longer withstand it.

"What terrifying power."

Just then, a voice suddenly came from afar, and Yuzhi's figure slowly emerged from the smoke and dust.

"Your methods are quite impressive; is it spatial power?"

The Otsutsuki clan chief turned around. The moment he made his move, he had already noticed that Haori had run away. Now he understood why his clansmen had been brutally murdered by this guy.

The power of space is inherently strange; a slight misstep could lead to death without even knowing how it happened!

"It's the seed-like chakra underground that's helping you, right?"

"That's quite a tactic. No wonder my people couldn't do anything about you."

"Oh, have we been discovered?"

Although the Flying Thunder God Seed was detected, Hagoromo didn't care and still had a faint smile on her face.

This guy does have white eyes, so it's not surprising that he can see some things.

His words made Yuzhi raise an eyebrow, and then he spoke softly.

"Is it possible that this effect wasn't due to my use of spatial magic, but rather that you weren't as powerful as you thought?"

"How arrogant!"

The Otsutsuki clan chief snorted coldly, and his chakra surged once more.

"You are indeed very strong, but that's only because you have the blood of Indra. Others don't have this ability!"

Besides, even if you have Indra's bloodline, even if you are now no weaker than Indra, so what? This is the moon.

This is the ancestral home of Hamura; how dare you act so presumptuously!

As he spoke, the Otsutsuki clan chief suddenly began to rapidly form hand seals, and in an instant, a white light appeared on his body.

As the white light appeared, Yuzhi suddenly realized that a strange power seemed to be connected to this guy.

A unique power was radiating silently to everything around it; mountains, rivers, and even the sun in the sky seemed to be closely connected to it at this moment!

In addition, Yuzhi inexplicably discovered that these powers seemed to resonate subtly with the power within his body.

As if drawn by something, Yuzhi felt her blood begin to boil!

"Is it the power of Hyuga?"

Yuri murmured, "The power of Hyuga is the most stable among the three types of cells he injected."

It seemed somewhat arrogant; although it did not reject the other three forces, it was extremely difficult to get it excited on its own.

Fortunately, it doesn't cause any rejection or resistance when the other three forces boil and merge, which makes it stand out.

But now it has actually started to boil on its own, and its boiling has caused the other cells to operate even faster and more violently.

This was something Yuzhi hadn't expected, but this situation also made her realize something.

"Did this guy use the power of the Tenseigan?"

She slightly raised her head, and in an instant, the haori had locked onto the core of the power in the sky. The source of all power came from the largest floating island in the sky.

If I'm not mistaken, that place is probably the Hamura Shrine, and these powers are brought by the Tenseigan!

"Alright, now the real battle begins."

The Otsutsuki clan chief spoke in a cold voice, his entire body glowing yellow, looking very much like Naruto's "Nine-Tails Chakra Mode".

However, there is a big difference here. He only has a layer of chakra covering his body, but he has not completely integrated the chakra into his body.

"So this isn't a chakra mode, but just borrowing the power of the Tenseigan?"

If this guy activates the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, then even if Haori has a chance to defeat him, the level of danger will be unimaginably high!

He's not Naruto; he might not be able to withstand the bombardment of Truth-Seeking Balls.

The fact that no Truth-Seeking Balls appeared behind this guy says something.

"And I remember that Otsutsuki Toneri's 'Tenshenggan Chakra Mode' was green, so why is this guy's golden?"

Although Yuri was somewhat puzzled, he quickly remembered that it seemed that Otsutsuki Toneri's Tenseigan was not the same as the Tenseigan on the moon.

He also discovered something else: he seemed to be completely locked onto by an invisible force, which immediately made him feel like he had nowhere to hide!

"The power of the Tenseigan has locked onto me. Is there no way I can escape as long as I'm in this space?"

Yuzhi murmured, "I have to say, this Tenseigan is truly terrifying inside the moon!"

"You have nowhere to hide now!"

After being enveloped by the power of the Tenseigan, the Ōtsutsuki clan chief even appeared somewhat sacred for a moment, and his voice became exceptionally ethereal.

"Now, your death is nigh!"

"Yeah?"

Yuzhi took a deep breath, and after a moment of focused perception, he suddenly laughed.

"I must say, this space is indeed very interesting, but I have a question I'd like to ask you."

As he spoke, a jet-black chakra, as dark as ink and as fine as gauze, appeared on Yuzhi's body and quickly covered him.

In the blink of an eye, the skull ribs covered his body, and a chilling aura echoed throughout the entire lunar space.

"I've been observing you, and I've noticed that your body doesn't seem to be able to hold up for that long."

While I acknowledge that you are very strong now, and you may even become stronger, the more of this power flows into your body, the worse it will be.

Now I want to ask you, how much longer can you hold on, especially in this situation!

As she spoke, the intricate patterns in Haori's eyes began to spin wildly.

A destructive chakra emanated from him, and this time his chakra seemed to be even closer to Indra's power.

With this surge of chakra, Hagoromo inexplicably found that the Tenseigan's lock on him had intensified, and the power belonging to the 'Hyuga' within him had become even more frenzied.

Susanoo suddenly grew larger, instantly becoming a hundred meters tall and still growing.

As he grew, the chakra that had been condensing into Susanoo slowly began to solidify, forming armor that covered it. Two energy swords hung at his waist, standing quietly in their sheaths.

Susanoo's features were incredibly clear, and the helmet of the Tengu made Susanoo even more ferocious and terrifying.

The moment everything came to a standstill, Yugi's Susanoo remained at a height of over two hundred meters!

Yugi stood quietly atop Susanoo's head, looking at the somewhat grim-faced Otsutsuki clan leader on the ground and speaking softly.

"And I have another question."

"You really think you can dance in front of me?"

-

"Is that... Susanoo?"

"It seems there's another benchmark that can rival Susanoo."

"snort"

As the two colossal beings collided violently, Nagato stopped fighting and moved to the outer edge of the battle zone, quietly observing what was happening before him.

Those Hyuga clan members were either dead or had already fled. They were now gathered in another area watching, and Nagato and the others had no interest in paying them any attention.

Moreover, apart from those who stood aside nervously watching the light in the distance, every single one of them was a victim of Susanoo.

Even when Nagato used the "Gedo Mazo", Haori used some special methods to break through his defenses and cut off both of his legs.

Seeing others suffer misfortune naturally makes them feel happier.

Orochimaru's words somewhat displeased Nagato, as Orochimaru was clearly using his "Gedo Mazo" as a point of reference.

However, he didn't have any other options. After all, the only way he could think of to deal with such an exaggerated "Susanoo" was to use the "Gedo Mazo" to attract it and find an opportunity to extract chakra.

Unfortunately, before the plan could be implemented, Hagoromo broke his leg.

"However, the way this guy is now, he does look a bit like a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths' brothers."

Xiao Nan gently shook her head, quickly changing the subject, and looked at Nagato.

"But according to what Yuzhi said, Nagato, are you perhaps a member of the Uzumaki clan?"

Konan's question made Nagato hesitate, because he didn't know if he was the so-called "descendant of the Six Paths".

In his heart, he felt that he should be able to, after all, he was someone who possessed and could control the Rinnegan!

However, using red hair as the basis for judgment seems problematic, because wouldn't that mean Sasori is also a member of the "Uzumaki Clan"?

However, he also had some doubts. Although the Uzumaki clan had a illustrious reputation in the history of the ninja world, it was clear that the 'Senju' clan was listed first in the haori.

Moreover, throughout the millennia-long war, it seems that the main forces have always been the Senju and Uchiha clans. Although Uzumaki was also drawn into the war by the Senju, he was ultimately still a "minor" in the game.

"Besides that, the Senju's formidable physical abilities and their Wood Release, compared to the Uchiha's Sharingan, make them the true opponents."

So, what exactly did Uzumaki inherit? Could it be that my Rinnegan…?

Having received so many informational prompts, Nagato couldn't help but start making 'explicit associations'.

He was fine during battle, as he could concentrate, but now that he wasn't involved in a fight, his mind started to get a bit chaotic.

As he was pondering, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Haori?" Hikaru frowned, but quickly recognized her: "No, you're a clone. Is there anything you need to tell me?"

Guang's words drew everyone's attention. At this moment, the earth was shaking continuously, and the battle between the two monsters had reached its peak.

The arrival of Yuzhi's clone at this moment must mean she has a new battle plan.

"That guy is no match for me, but there is a force in this space constantly reinforcing him. I can't continue fighting without taking control of him."

The clone of the haori spoke quickly, glancing at Hikaru before looking at Nagato.

"So when I defeat him, before they recover, you will take over the battle, and Ying and I will fight for control."

"I?"

Nagato paused for a moment, looking at the roaring stone giant and the terrifying Susanoo, and suddenly he also felt a surge of excitement.

"Okay, but I need more answers from you after the battle. That's our agreement!"

"I've said it before, keeping my word is my way of ninja."

The clone of the haori nodded, though he thought to himself that "nonsense" would be a more fitting description, but his expression remained extremely serious.

"Don't worry, I was going to tell you anyway, so please."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yuzhi's clone dissipated into smoke, and Nagato and the others looked into the distance.

The next instant, they vanished from their spot—

The battle between Susanoo and the stone giant had reached its climax.

Each swing of the longsword caused the earth to shake and the ground to collapse. The sword, accompanied by visible air compression and a bright blue chakra aura, slashed fiercely at the stone giant.

The stone giant roared and swung its arms to meet the deadly long blade.

Boom, boom, boom—

The two monsters unleashed their power wildly inside the moon, causing massive tremors and billowing dust that swept outwards.

Their moves are so simple and unadorned, yet these simple moves give people a feeling of the end of the world!

The strange thing is that it's just a feeling; the interior of the moon remains like a paradise, and no matter how hard the two monsters try, they can't change that.

"Really."

Inside Susanoo, Hagoromo looked utterly dejected. He knew all too well just how difficult the Tenseigan was to deal with.

But now he realizes that he underestimated the power of this Tenseigan.

The old ghost in front of him was clearly unable to use the true power of the Tenseigan, or rather, he needed more time to condense it before he could do so.

However, the power provided by the Tenseigan also made this battle exceptionally troublesome.

The strength of Susanoo is beyond doubt, but the problem is that everything inside this lunar space is maintained by the power of the Tenseigan.

This includes the stone giant statue right in front of us!

"This means that the control of the Tenseigan has not been taken away, so no matter how I fight, it's useless."

Haori wasn't entirely sure how powerful the Tenseigan was or how long it could last.

This is not the future. In the future, Naruto will use Hinata's chakra to directly shatter that giant Tenseigan.

Without Hinata's help, Hagoromo's Tenseigan is clearly not yet at the level of the future, which means that this eye can last for a long time!

This caused Yugi's Susanoo to smash the stone giant in front of him with a single strike, and even created a huge gap in the moon.

But in the blink of an eye, the power of the Tenseigan descended, the earth was restored, and the stone giant was restored to its original state.

"They should be here soon, right?"

Yu Zhi thought to himself, although he had the upper hand and had the stone giant completely under his control, leaving the old man with no way to deal with him.

Knowing the information, he naturally wouldn't do nothing. Besides, he needed to protect the secret of the Tenseigan, so he naturally needed to gain control of it.

Only in this way could he feel at ease, especially since he still had a mission to carry out, so he needed Nagato to "take over" the blame.

Moreover, he saw that the old man's life force was also rapidly fading away, and he was still making some preparations at this moment.

If nothing unexpected happens, it seems that the old man intends to unleash the power of the Tenseigan in a complete and decisive attack.

Yuri remembered that there was a scene in the anime where the Tenseigan released a beam of energy.

He had absolutely no desire to try that kind of attack, which was like a "planet destroyer"!

"Hmm, you're here?"

Just then, Yuzhi suddenly sensed something and turned around to see Hikaru leading Nagato and the others rushing towards him, which made him pause slightly.

"You really disappoint me."

The frenzied battle suddenly stopped at this moment, and Yuzhi stared at the stone statue that was rapidly recovering with a regretful expression.

"Despite being so strong, he acted like an idiot."

At first I thought it was just your people who were like this, but I didn't expect that you all are like this.

Clearly, you can't even please me!

"Don't spout nonsense, descendant of Indra. Even if you've reached Indra's level, you cannot be so presumptuous again!"

The patriarch of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon looked terrified, but his heart was also filled with shock.

Having connected with the Reincarnation Eye, he naturally knew the extent of the losses this time. Among the people before him, besides the two descendants of Indra, there also seemed to be descendants of Asura.

In particular, this guy, in his opinion, has probably reached the level of "Indra" in the ancient books.

But how many of them are there, and how many of us are there?

Even if they were injured, it would be more than this, right?

But the result was so cruel; they couldn't stop these people at all. Their control and use of power were simply astonishing!

"Haven't you realized yet that I'm spouting nonsense?"

Yuri spoke disdainfully. At this moment, the light had already entered his Susanoo, and Yuri quickly made it fly to her side.

Looking at the girl in front of him, he nodded slightly, then looked at the old man and suddenly smiled, before spouting nonsense.

"According to ancient texts, the moon is a line of defense protecting the ninja world, and if the moon is breached, then we will only be able to rely on ourselves."

Although I never quite understood why the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Senpai would allow Indra and Ashura to fight each other endlessly.

Not only them, but also their descendants and we ourselves have been drawn into the war.

Seeing your situation now, I think I understand a little better.

Yuri's words echoed across the moon, reaching the ears of both the Otsutsuki clan members and Nagato and the others who were secretly gathering their strength.

They were all curious about what Yuzhi wanted to say. Could it be that he had really discovered some secret?

"Actually, all of this was part of the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura-senpai's plan."

Yuri knew that talking nonsense was free, although in this place it was very likely that the spirit of Otsutsuki Hamura would hear it, or that the spirit of the Sage of Six Paths would react in some way.

But he didn't care about any of that. He was just bragging, not criticizing. Besides, he could influence the guy's mind. How could he possibly shut up?

"It's better to rely on ourselves than on you. How can we ensure that the people of the ninja world still possess strong fighting power after these ancestors who protected them have left?"

That naturally involves constantly fighting and honing one's skills and chakra usage to their peak.

And only through the fusion of iron and blood can one truly understand how to fight, how to fight effectively, and how to maximize one's power!

Through a thousand years of turmoil, our ninja world has been tempered and we all know how to fight and how to fight.

And you, enjoying a peaceful and idyllic life on the moon, never use your own power.

What makes you think you can compare to us?

The words of the haori instantly made the Ōtsutsuki clan leader's eyes widen. At that moment, he felt his head buzzing loudly.

Not only him, but Nagato and the others were also completely dazed at this moment.

Yes, why not stop it? Why watch the ninja world fight like this?

Even for a thousand years, the ninja world has never known peace.

Is this truly a trial, a preparation for future catastrophe?

So, what will be the catastrophe of the future?

Countless thoughts swirled in everyone's minds, because their current state was exactly as Yuzhi had described.

The Otsutsuki on the moon is like a child holding a knife, while the ninjas of the ninja world, even if they are thin and weak, are still adults with rich combat experience.

Could all of this really be the Sage of Six Paths' arrangement?

"Now!"

Although Yuzhi almost believed his own nonsense, since he was in a battle, his primary goal was naturally to eliminate the enemy.

Seeing the old man from the Otsutsuki clan momentarily lose his focus, Yuki suddenly controlled Susanoo and swung his sword out!

His eyes were spinning wildly, and he had almost squeezed the power of 'God's Wisdom' to its limit.

Although the stone giant can regenerate, if it is broken into even more pieces, the regeneration time will be slower.

This would also give him the opportunity to soar into the sky, rush to Hamura Shrine, and seize control!

hum-

The moment the long sword was drawn, a violent tremor appeared in the air, as if space itself had been cleaved apart!

"mean!"

The Otsutsuki clan leader snapped back to his senses and roared as he mobilized all his power to have the stone statues defend themselves.

But when the sharp edge of Susanoo's longsword slammed into the stone statue, an extremely intense burst of energy erupted in an instant.

A white light, seemingly compressed to its limit, suddenly appeared and then spread out infinitely.

The world was instantly reduced to a blinding white!

Nagato and the others simultaneously groaned and closed their eyes tightly; even they dared not look directly into such an intense light.

As they closed their eyes, the world seemed to fall silent.

All that could be heard was tinnitus; no other sounds could be heard at all.

And everything around them was collapsing and exploding amidst the buzzing sound, with invisible energy waves impacting everyone!

Even the sky was now showing cracks, clearly indicating that the barrier protecting this inner space had malfunctioned.

No one could say for sure how long the roaring energy lasted; when everyone opened their eyes, they saw a mushroom cloud rising and falling.

The cracked earth stretched for almost a hundred miles, and all the houses, trees, mountains and rivers had vanished in an instant!

Yu Zhi's Susanoo was already tattered and broken, but he didn't care at all. The next moment, this broken Susanoo suddenly soared into the sky and headed straight for the floating island in the sky.

"Damn it, stop!"

The Ōtsutsuki clan leader was in no better shape. Although he still radiated golden light, his aura had plummeted to freezing point.

The stone statue slowly began to recover, but before it could do anything, the earth shook once again.

One by one, enormous monsters with nine eyes, skin like dead wood, and many stake-like protrusions on their backs burst out of the ground!

"Now, your opponent is me."

Blood trickled from the corner of Nagato's mouth, but he didn't care at all; his eyes were only on the Ōtsutsuki clan leader.

However, when the Otsutsuki clan leader saw the "Gedo Mazo", his face immediately turned ferocious.

"It's you, you damned thief!"

-

"What's going on? Something's not right today."

In the land of water lilies, inside a mountain cave.

Black Zetsu is currently pondering how to awaken Itachi Uchiha's Sharingan; this is his top priority at the moment.

Only when this guy's condition gets better and better will it become easier and easier to break the seal on his mother.

He no longer wanted to discuss the strength of Uchiha Hagoromo, much less say that "Uchiha Madara's choice was a pile of shit".

It's meaningless; there are no "what ifs" in this world.

If he had a choice, he would prefer his mother to strangle his two older brothers with her own hands; wouldn't that be much simpler?

However, as he pondered this, he felt something strange about himself, as if some peculiar chakra was constantly appearing in the space around him.

Others might not be able to sense it, but as Kaguya Otsutsuki's 'third' son, who inherited some of her bloodline limit but couldn't use it in battle, he...

Yet he could clearly sense all of this; his perception was his most vital ability for survival!

"What's wrong? You look so distracted?"

Obito, who was training nearby, saw Black Zetsu's situation and couldn't help but frown and ask.

After being "beaten up" again by his other self, Obito became obedient again. He studied hard and trained diligently, clearly wanting to avenge his previous humiliation.

Black Zetsu didn't know how long his "enthusiasm" could last, or rather, how long his "sense of shame" could last.

"I don't know, but something just feels off."

Black Zetsu shook his head, and after thinking it over, he simply stood up and walked outside.

"I'll go check on that kid Uchiha Itachi. His situation is a bit troublesome, and we need to find an opportunity for him to awaken his Sharingan."

"If all else fails, I'll take him to kill his brother and mother."

Obito thought for a moment, then said with a cold look in his eyes.

"By doing this, I think he should be able to open his eyes."

"Don't do anything foolish. Uchiha Haori can't possibly be unprepared for him."

Black Zetsu shook his head. Although Obito's assassination skills were unmatched, Uchiha Haori also possessed some spatial abilities.

He had witnessed it several times; Yuki almost killed Obito through Kamui, and even once rushed into Obito's Kamui dimension.

Even if Obito could escape unscathed using Izanagi, what about Itachi Uchiha? Wouldn't he be doomed?

Black Zetsu is waiting to be replaced; he doesn't want Uchiha Itachi to die!

"Whatever you want, take your time thinking about it. I still need to cultivate."

Black Zetsu refused, and Obito didn't bother to think about it further. Although he also wanted Uchiha Itachi to grow stronger so that he could steal the kid's eyes.

But he didn't want to provoke Uchiha Haori for no reason. Obito had never won against Haori since they met at the Konoha Ninja Academy.

Whether it's academic performance or combat training, that guy is terrible at everything, yet he's somehow better than him at everything.

This resulted in him always being at the bottom of the class, while Uchiha Haori was just a little above him.

Even after he left Konoha, he still hadn't won a single game. This wealth of "experience in failure" had completely worn him down.

He really didn't want to provoke that guy unnecessarily, and even if he were to go looking for him, he had to be absolutely certain of success first.

"Keep it up, you'll definitely surpass those guys."

Black Zetsu said something casually, then walked out of the cave.

The further he walked, the more uneasy he felt, and at this moment he increasingly felt an invisible chakra spreading.

Moreover, this power seems to come from the sky.

"Wait, damn it!"

Suddenly, Black Zetsu seemed to realize something, and his speed immediately increased.

In the blink of an eye, he had rushed out of the cave and looked up at the sky.

In the sky, a silver moon hung high, and everything seemed normal, but Black Zetsu also saw the strange spots of light on the moon.

Moreover, along with the appearance of such light spots, an invisible energy tide was spreading wildly.

"What's wrong?"

Obito also sensed something was wrong. He walked out with a puzzled look, looked up at the sky, and then frowned and asked.

"That's strange, the moon seems a bit different tonight."

"Um"

Black Zetsu was filled with anxiety. He knew better than anyone what the moon truly meant.

Now that the moon has suddenly encountered such a situation, how can he be at ease?

hum-

However, at that very moment, an even stranger force suddenly erupted within the moon, and in an instant, the moon seemed to tremble slightly.

Such shaking caused the sky to change color, and even the earth to rumble.

The next instant, the sky suddenly became incredibly dark, and the silvery moonlight vanished without a trace.

Instead, it was all crimson!

To Obito and Black Zetsu's astonishment, a strange pattern slowly emerged on the crimson moon, and the tide of chakra became even more ferocious at that moment.

Neither of them cared about the chakra energy surge; they were both stunned by what they were seeing.

"Is that... a kaleidoscope?"

Black Zetsu was utterly astonished. He shouted incredulously, while Obito stared blankly in disbelief.

"Is this...Infinite Tsukuyomi? Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could that woman, Uchiha Hotaru, possibly activate Infinite Tsukuyomi?!"

Uchiha Hotaru?

Black Zetsu's mind was buzzing; he was now completely lost in confusion.

Uchiha Ying knew, of course, that he had always suspected the woman's true identity.

After all, this woman was too peculiar. Her abilities were incredibly diverse, which was not what a normal Uchiha should be like.

Black Zetsu had also wondered if she had some other identity, such as whether she was actually the chakra reincarnation of his 'older sister' or 'younger sister'?

Even, possibly

However, thinking like that is really not a good idea, and he has no way of getting close to this Uchiha Hotaru, since she has always been with Uchiha Haori, and has even become someone else's wife.

How could one's own sister or younger sister do such a thing instead of saving their mother?

Shaking his head, Black Zetsu was completely lost; he had no idea what to do next.

"Damn it, why have her eyes changed again?!"

But at that moment, Obito roared again, which brought Black Zetsu back to his senses.

Looking out, the crimson 'moon' in the sky changed again; the kaleidoscope pattern began to slowly rotate.

As this terrifying energy swirled and rippled, the Sharingan's pattern began to double.

The double image becomes clearer as it rotates, until the moment the rotation stops.

A pair of brand-new shoes, with two overlapping patterns forming a completely new and intricate design, were reflected in the moonlit sky!

These eyes are clearly a brand new pair of eternal eyes, eyes that have broken through the limitations of bloodline and formed entirely new eyes!

"What on earth is going on?"

Black Zetsu muttered to himself, but at that moment the earth seemed to be affected by the energy tide of the moon and began to shake violently.
