All Heavens: Transcending Dimensions Starting with the Uchiha

Nagato, who had keenly caught the key words, narrowed his eyes and asked softly, with a look of incomprehension and disbelief.

"Now that it's here, it's not anymore?"

"The time is coming. In order to fight against the 'Star Gods,' I have decided to embark on the path to becoming a 'god.'"

Uchiha Xiang took a deep breath, then turned to look at Nagato's suddenly constricted purple Rinnegan, and asked a question seemingly casually.

"Of all the things I just said to you, which word do you think was the most crucial?"

"……responsibility?"

While receiving Uchiha Enoki's almost emotionless waves of longing, Nagato replied with a chaotic and confused mind.

"...Responsibility? Responsibility can indeed make people more mature, but in our position, it is not the most important thing."

Uchiha Sho shook his head, indicating that Nagato could reconsider the answer to this question.

This time, Nagato thought about it for a long time.

After he came into contact with Uchiha Sō, he meticulously examined and analyzed every word and action of the other party.

He tried to find the answer to the question that Uchiha Sō suddenly asked him by combining the different impressions the other person gave him at different times.

Uchiha Ebo didn't rush him, but looked up at the gradually changing sky of the Great Luo Cave Heaven, and the moon falling above the Ninja World outside the cave heaven.

"Is it... a matter of righteousness?"

After a long while, Nagato finally slowly raised his head and asked in a slightly apprehensive tone.

Upon hearing this answer, even though it was just an illusion constructed from thought waves and chakra, and even though only one pair of eyes could reveal its complete form, the Uchiha elephant in Nagato's eyes still showed a relieved smile from the bottom of his heart.

“Very good. If you can see this, then I can confidently entrust you with the task of managing the ninja world and reminding me in the future.”

Uchiha Sō's answer sounded like a great weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

But Nagato completely failed to understand Uchiha Zou's reasons and motivations for doing so.

So he could only continue staring into Uchiha Sō's eyes, waiting for the other to answer his question.

"But why? Why did you choose me? And why are you telling me so much?"

"Because you are relatively realistic...and also the most suitable!"

After considering reasons beyond strength, Uchiha Sho finally came to this conclusion.

“Those who follow me are easily influenced by me and cannot objectively judge my behavior. Based on my own observations of you and my understanding of your future self through various means, you are the most realistic person in the ninja world, even among those with outstanding strength.”

"So what?"

"Of course. I've decided to resolve all problems while I'm still 'alive,' and then ascend to the status of 'god' to guide humanity. But 'god' is ultimately too far removed from humanity and easily detached from reality, so I need someone realistic and independent to 'supervise' me..."

Uchiha Eiji raised his hand and, as usual, tapped Nagato's forehead. Then, as Nagato struggled to suppress his instinct to dodge, he gently tapped him again, imprinting a trace of the Great Luo Cave Heaven's origin mark upon him, and spoke in an extremely solemn tone.

"The Heavenly Court should naturally reside high in the heavens. Ordinary people are ultimately beings from a different dimension than extremely powerful ninjas. Putting them in the same world is inherently unfair."

While fighting against the Otsutsuki clan of the starry sky is the "great cause" of the Heavenly Court, we cannot ignore the lives of ordinary people...

"If I lose even my original intention of leading all the people of the ninja world to live a better life, then the path I have chosen will come to an end."

At this point, Uchiha Sho paused slightly, waiting for Nagato to catch up with his thoughts, before continuing.

"After completely resolving all matters in the ninja world, I plan to transform the Great Luo Heaven into the 'Heavenly Realm,' where all Jonin-level powerhouses will 'ascend' to this realm. The ninja world will become the 'Human Realm,' and the Pure Land will become the 'Underworld,' the realm of the dead. With this three-realm structure, I will propel the ninja world to a higher dimension..."

"As the ruler of the heavens, a 'god' who is a person with ideals, if he loses his sense of righteousness but still clings to the overall situation of the ninja world, then countless 'people' with ideals will have to fight one after another, risking their lives, in order to possibly bring him down from his pedestal."

"I know too much, enough to allow me to continue to have a smooth life for a long time after becoming a 'god,' but it doesn't guarantee that I will always remember my original aspirations. If one day I forget my original aspirations, I might create a world that is even more terrible and desperate than a world of strife and chaos."

"To prevent that from happening, I beg you to be the first to rebel against me when I fell into 'humanity,' and to pass on this wariness of 'god' continuously, Nagato!"

Hearing that he had been entrusted with a mission whose activation date was unknown, Nagato's serious face revealed a helpless, bitter smile.

He shook his head, then looked firmly at Uchiha Sō.

"Okay, I will definitely stay true to my original intention as a human being and supervise you well."

Chapter 221, Boomerang

It is not difficult to transform chakra into a specific thought wave that can be captured by the Rinnegan.

The Fourth Raikage, the Third Tsuchikage, the Fifth Mizukage, the Fourth Kazekage, and so on—each of them was superior to ordinary Kage-level shinobi.

It would also be much easier for Uchiha Ei to capture their thought waves through the Great Luo Cave Heaven.

So, when the shadows opened their eyes again, a completely new scene appeared before them—

It was not, as they had imagined, a small meeting place for the five great ninja villages to exchange opinions, but a huge meeting place that was semi-circular.

At the center of the venue is a high platform for the host to speak, and below the high platform are five rows of seats that extend outwards.

Although the seats that had been set up were empty at this moment, it was not hard to see from the layout that the person who arranged the venue in this way had the idea and ambition to make forces outside the Five Great Nations/Five Great Ninja Villages have their own voices heard.

Uchiha Xiang's establishment of the Heavenly Court of the ninja world was somewhat inspired by the idea of ​​the United Nations in his previous life. However, in the Heavenly Court of the ninja world, he controlled the strongest power and had the highest say.

"Heh, as expected, only that bastard Uchiha Sho could come up with such a scheme."

Although the Fourth Raikage, A, was "forced" to join the Heavenly Court, he was still somewhat resentful. At the same time, he turned to look at the several figures who were already waiting in the venue for negotiations.

The solemn-faced Third Tsuchikage, Onoki; the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, whose eyes betrayed undisguised anxiety; the beautiful and passionate Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi; the Kusakage, Yoruichi Hakura; and the dignified and solemn priestess of the Land of Demons, Miroku—all dressed in the finest attire.

And the black-haired boy sitting in the front row right below the podium, his face propped up by his hand, with a half-smile in his eyes, was none other than the initiator of the first meeting after the formation of the Heavenly Court, the Fifth Hokage, the Heavenly Emperor Uchiha Sō.

"The Fourth Raikage and the Third Tsuchikage are also present. So this emergency meeting, which was convened to discuss how the Heavenly Court, the highest governing body of the ninja world, should deal with the extraordinary situation of the moon falling, has reached the minimum requirement."

As the words fell, Nagato, dressed in a black robe with fiery clouds, walked onto the stage from the side, bowed to Onoki who had suddenly turned to look at him, and then calmly spoke.

"The fact that the Raikage and Tsuchikage arrived at this meeting so soon proves that you are not extreme individuals who only have ambitions but no sense of the bigger picture. On behalf of all the members of Akatsuki, as well as all the countries and ninja villages, large and small, that were unable to attend, I would like to express my gratitude to you both."

"Heh... You and the Fifth Hokage have both forced us to join the Heavenly Court, so why bother pretending here? The possessor of the Sage's Eyes, no wonder you can cooperate with him!"

Onoki, who had once faced Madara Uchiha's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, sneered, while glancing out of the corner of his eye at the other founder of the Heavenly Court, a figure that made the entire ninja world feel suffocated.

"It's great to see that an old man like you can still maintain such abundant energy. But since you've already taken the action of admitting defeat, stop wasting your breath on words, Lord Tsuchikage?"

Uchiha Eiji retorted indifferently.

"Hmph, don't misunderstand, Hokage!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, frowned and immediately retorted with a hint of anger.

"Although we have signed an agreement to join the Heavenly Divine Court, it does not mean that we are your subordinates."

"Furthermore, the Hidden Cloud Village isn't so weak as to bow down before a real battle even begins. I'm here for the meeting simply to exchange information appropriately, to avoid wasting resources and manpower..."

"If it's all to avoid waste, then what I should avoid most is these useless squabbles."

The Fifth Generation Mizukage, Terumi Mei, crossed her fingers and said with a cold smile.

"Every bit of time we waste brings us closer to the end of the ninja world when the moon crashes into it. How come dealing with those meteorites that have fallen into our respective territories hasn't made you see the current situation clearly?"

"Lord Mizukage is right,"

Miroku sighed and stepped in to defuse the situation, saying, "We've attended this meeting summoned by the Elephant Emperor precisely to resolve this inevitable catastrophe of the moon's fall. Continuing to argue about this disaster, which will affect the entire ninja world, will only waste our precious time..."

"Then, 'Heavenly Emperor,' tell me, what methods do you have to resolve this cataclysmic event of the moon falling into the sky and causing the earth to collapse?!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, suddenly punched the air in front of him, then looked at Uchiha Sō, who seemed to have everything under control, with a mocking gaze and questioned him.

"Since you want to become the 'Emperor of Heaven' in the ninja world and rally everyone to resist the 'Starry Sky Otsutsuki Clan' you mentioned, surely you can't even handle this matter?"

Uchiha Sho did not answer A's question directly, but instead turned his head and threw the topic to Otsutsuki Ichiraku, who had been brought there but had not spoken.

"Before we discuss how to solve the problem, I think we can first understand the cause of this lunar fall incident... Let's have Otsutsuki Ichiraku, the direct descendant of the younger brother of the Six Paths Sage, the Ziwei Emperor of the Heavenly Court, and the former leader of the dove faction of the Otsutsuki clan who guards the moon, explain it to everyone."

"What? There are still people guarding the moon?"

In an instant, Mei Terumi, A, Onoki and the others turned their shocked gazes to Ichiraku Otsutsuki.

This white-haired boy, who looks similar to Uchiha Eboshi, is the descendant of the Otsutsuki clan in the ninja world.

Faced with the collective gaze of everyone, even with Ichiraku Otsutsuki's arrogance, he still felt a considerable amount of pressure.

"You really know how to slack off, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor..."

Otsutsuki Ichiraku rolled his eyes and sighed. He knew that nothing good ever came from Uchiha Sho being with him.

However, as one of the "protagonists" in this incident, he is indeed the one who knows the cause best.

"Our Otsutsuki clan on the moon descended from Otsutsuki Hamura, the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths. For generations, we have been responsible for guarding the moon and preventing Kaguya Otsutsuki, the progenitor of chakra, from escaping her seal..."

"Wait, the Otsutsuki clan of the moon? The sealed progenitor of chakra? What you said when you forced us to sign the Investiture of the Gods, was it true?"

Onoki first frowned, then, as if he had thought of something, stared intently at Ichiraku Otsutsuki's "byakugan" and asked in a chilling voice.

"The Byakugan's bloodline limit comes from another Sage of Six Paths, so the Uchiha clan's bloodline limit comes from Ninjutsu. Is that why you, Hokage, know these secrets?"

Uchiha Sho released his right hand, which had been supporting his cheek, and smiled lightly at Onoki with his fingers touching.

"Of course it's true. I gave you time to investigate, didn't I? It's not just the Uchiha clan, but also the Senju clan, which was the strongest clan during the Warring States period. They also originated from that ninja master. The Uchiha and Senju inherited the Sage Eyes and Sage Body of the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki. The Hyuga and Kaguya inherited the bloodline of the supreme successor of the Byakugan from their younger brother. Now do you understand the power of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon?"

"But even so, they are merely descendants of the Otsutsuki clan of the Starry Sky..."

"Now you understand why I insisted on establishing the Heavenly Court to unify all the forces of the ninja world, right? Lord Tsuchikage, Lord Raikage!"

Are the people who moved the moon descendants of the Otsutsuki clan from the starry sky?

To be honest, when they first heard Uchiha Sō bring up the myths and legends of the ninja world and give them different content than before, Ōnoki, A, and the others didn't believe it at all.

But now, with the fact that the moon has fallen into the ground before them, they feel that perhaps they can believe it to some extent.

Chapter 222, You are not as important as you think.

Uchiha Sō's words were like a boulder thrown into a deep pool, stirring up a huge wave in the venue.

"The Otsutsuki clan of the starry sky? Descendants? The younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths? The progenitor of chakra sealed on the moon?!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, practically roared as he stood up abruptly. His burly body trembled slightly from extreme shock and instinctive resistance, and lightning crackled uncontrollably around him, ionizing the surrounding air and giving it a burnt smell.

"Absurd! Uchiha Sō, do you think you can make us believe this kind of mythical story..."

"Shut up, you brute!"

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, interrupted A's roar with a low shout, but his own face was as stiff and ashen, like a rock.

He hovered above his seat, his small body containing immense astonishment.
