All Heavens: Transcending Dimensions Starting with the Uchiha

"Elephant Lord, the transaction is complete."

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Sho.

"I'll take these 'materials' with me. The Land of Sound is a good new starting point."

He led Kimimaro and several members of the Yuki clan to the other side of the cabin, preparing to disembark at the next secluded location.

Uchiha Elephant removed his mask, revealing his true face, and nodded:

"I wish Orochimaru-kun's research all the best. Otogakure awaits your results."

He turned to Kakashi and Shisui:

"Send word to change course and head to the Land of Grass. The Grass Village will take care of them."

Upon hearing "Kusagami Village" and "placement," Kaguya and the elites of the Yuki clan finally relaxed their tense nerves, and a faint hope for a new life ignited in their eyes.

When the enormous Heavenly Court merchant ship, carrying a large sum of "life-saving money" (including the secret techniques of the Water Country's bloodline families, resources, and the huge benefits of subsequent trade agreements) and important "talents," slowly sailed into the Fire Country's port, Konoha Village had already received the news.

Uchiha Sō, the Fifth Hokage, once again won the (complex) approval of the Konoha leadership and the cheers of the people with a "diplomatic operation" that went deep behind enemy lines, mediated between various forces, successfully weakened potential enemies, and brought back huge benefits.

The resources he brought back greatly accelerated the reconstruction and military upgrade of Konoha.

Within Kirigakure, Genji and Mei Terumi's reputations soared due to their "discovering Konoha's conspiracy," "fighting the Hokage," "preserving Kirigakure's dignity (on the surface)," and "securing a favorable position in subsequent trade negotiations with Konoha (in reality)."

Taking advantage of the Mizukage's plummeting prestige and the villagers' growing discontent, they began to drastically reorganize the ninja village, promote new talents, develop the economy, and cultivate forces loyal to their side.

The maritime trade route with the Heavenly Court's Commerce Department was quietly opened, injecting long-lost vitality into Kirigakure and accumulating substantial capital for Mei Terumi's future ascension to the top.

The Hokage's office in Konoha.

Uchiha Eiji stood by the window, looking down at the gradually recovering Konoha Village, his fingers gently tapping on the window frame.

The game of Kirigakure has temporarily come to an end. Obito's move was a decent one. Orochimaru went to the Land of Sound to stir up trouble. Kaguya and the Yuki clan became the foundation of the Heavenly Court in Kusagakure.

Chapter 178, The Shrine Maiden's Request

Three months later, in the Hokage's office.

The ninja world has returned to "peace," and in order to "feed" the Great Luo Cave Heaven with a large amount of chakra and accelerate its growth.

After finishing his business for the day, Uchiha Sho pondered everything from his memories of his past life.

In my hazy memories of my past life, there were quite a few people who possessed a large amount of chakra.

These people are all powerful figures who stand at the pinnacle of the ninja world.

But these powerful individuals certainly wouldn't act as "charging stations" for Uchiha Eiji, or as laborers supplying him with chakra.

Aside from these powerful individuals, Uchiha Sho vaguely remembered two mysterious locations possessing vast amounts of chakra.

One is the "Dragon Vein" located in the ancient city of Loulan within the Kingdom of Wind.

Another place is where a demon called "Mouryou" is sealed away by the priestess of the Land of Demons.

Just as he was thinking about going there first to "feed" the cave, Nara Shikaku suddenly arrived.

"Lord Hokage, we have a very difficult task at hand."

Nara Shikaku said with a serious expression.

"A few days ago, the priestess of the Land of Demons sent a request to our Konoha, hoping that we could send someone to help them seal off the alien demons that are threatening the ninja world..."

Ok?

Speak of the devil and he appears!

Looks like there's no need to worry about it anymore.

At the same time, Uchiha Sō felt a chill run down his spine!

Just as he was contemplating whether to feed the Great Luo Cave Heaven with the "Dragon Vein" or the "Wraith," the witch from the Ghost Kingdom came seeking help.

He didn't know whether it was a coincidence or whether the witch really had "prophetic abilities".

Do you know the specific details of this commission?

"no!"

Nara Shikaku shook his head helplessly.

"Aside from requesting the Hokage to send a strong leader, we know nothing else about the other party."

Are you prepared to accept the priestess's request and arrange for someone to go to the Land of Demons...?

"Since the legendary witch with the ability of 'prophecy' has sent a request, I will personally lead the team on this trip."

Kakashi, tell Shisui and Guy that the three of you are coming with me.

"Yes!"

Time was tight and the mission was urgent, so Uchiha Xiang didn't delay. Once the three of them arrived, they left the Hokage's office and headed straight for the Land of Demons.

After leaving the village, Might Guy excitedly said to Kakashi.

"Kakashi, you truly are my lifelong rival. You've become the head of the Anbu so early on. Burn, my youth!"

Kakashi weakly replied, "Yes, yes, yes..."

Kai, completely oblivious to Kakashi's speechlessness, continued chuckling.

"However, I'm already a Jonin, and I'll definitely catch up with you. Just thinking about that gives me a lot of motivation!"

Kakashi glanced at Uchiha Sō and Shisui, who were lagging slightly behind the group, while continuing to talk to Guy.

"Yes Yes Yes……"

The latter half of the team.

Noticing that Uchiha Sō seemed a little distracted, Shisui asked curiously.

"Brother Xiang, what's wrong?"

Uchiha Sho shook his head: "It's nothing."

At this point, Uchiha Sō was indeed a bit paranoid.

After all, he had just been thinking about whether to "take" the dragon vein first or "take" the demon first, when he received the request from the priestess of the Demon Kingdom today. It was too much of a coincidence!

However, after careful recollection, he realized that the priestess of the Demon Kingdom seemed to have died during this period while sealing the demon, Mouryo.

Did they leave behind a next-generation priestess, Shion, who is about the same age as Naruto?

In my memory, the period when demons and monsters wreaked havoc on the world seemed to be only around this time.

However, this coincidence made Uchiha Sō, who always followed his heart, feel a little uneasy.

After all, in the instant he awakened the Eternal Eye and his celestial realm was elevated, he had looked down upon the entire ninja world from a "God's-eye view."

He discovered that the waters of the ninja world were "deeper" than he had imagined!

However, during this period of time, no one should be able to threaten him, who has obtained the Eternal Eye.

Seeing that Uchiha Sō still seemed somewhat distracted, Shisui inquired.

"Brother Elephant, what do you think of the Ghost Kingdom's request?"

Lost in thought, Uchiha Sho casually replied.

"The Land of Demons is sandwiched between the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth. This matter involves alien monsters, so it's impossible that they would only ask our Konoha for help."

This mission will likely involve multiple ninja villages; in short, it's going to be very troublesome!

Zhi Shui asked curiously, "I wonder what kind of monster that foreign land's demon is?"

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Sho decided to reveal some of the information he knew to the other three, and so he spoke.

"As far as I know, that monster is at least a Tailed Beast, so you all need to be careful..."

"Tailed Beast level?"

After a moment of contemplation, Shisui recalled his experience fighting the Nine-Tails and couldn't help but feel eager to try again.

"I wonder, how does this guy compare to the Nine-Tails?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sho paused for a moment, then spoke.

"Perhaps in terms of individual destructive power, it is somewhat inferior to the Nine-Tails, but in terms of how difficult it is to deal with, it may be even more troublesome than the Nine-Tails."

"hiss!"

Shisui was instantly startled. He had almost ruined his Mangekyou Sharingan in order to restrain the Nine-Tails.

If it weren't for the help of Uchiha Sō and Igaku, he might have really gone blind.

Although his pupil power increased significantly after that experiment, it did not advance to a higher level.

Therefore, he really had to be careful when dealing with this so-called demon.

Not to mention Kakashi and Guy!

Front of the team!

Kakashi, who had been looking back, turned his head back and spoke to Guy beside him.

"Have you noticed that Shisui seems to have become much stronger lately, and Elephant-kun has also become increasingly unfathomable?"

Kai laughed and said, "The Hokage is the strongest person in Konoha. Shisui is also a genius who is no less than you. With the Hokage's guidance, it's normal for his strength to increase faster."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Kakashi gave a perfunctory reply and then lowered his head, not wanting to deal with this thick-skinned guy.

Having suffered the blows of his father's suicide and the deaths of his best friend and teacher in battle, Kakashi would probably have become as despondent and indifferent as he was in the original timeline if it weren't for the daily "training" from Uchiha Eboshi.

Unlike now, at least I can still take the initiative to chat with my peers.

The four from Konoha are all top-tier ninjas in the ninja world. Even Guy, currently the weakest among them, is a taijutsu jonin, so his travel speed is naturally extremely fast.

In just one week, they crossed the border and entered the rainy country.

Three days later, they crossed the Land of Rain, and then the Land of Birds and the Land of Bears.

I thought everything was going smoothly and I would soon be able to meet the priestess of the Land of Demons.

Unexpectedly, trouble arose as soon as they entered the Land of Demons.
