All Heavens: Transcending Dimensions Starting with the Uchiha

As you mentioned before, the death of his companion has made his view of humanity border on obsession.

His clear eyes stared directly at the figure on the throne. It concerned the future of the ninja world, and he had to get to the bottom of it.

Uchiha Sho nodded slightly, acknowledging Shisui's keen insight and sense of responsibility.

He tapped the invisible armrest lightly with his bent fingers again, producing a firm, soft sound.

"trust?"

Uchiha Xiang's smile deepened slightly, carrying a hint of worldly wisdom.

"Shisui, trust is a luxury. But Nagato, or rather, Pain himself, made a promise."

His tone was calm, yet it carried a strange weight.

"Its weight is heavier than the hardest refined iron of the five great nations."

He used Yahiko's body to bear the Dao of Heaven; his promise was a cornerstone of his ideal world.

"As long as our path truly benefits the common people of the Land of Rain, allowing him to see another possibility for the realization of Yahiko's ideals, this alliance will be stronger than any blood pact."

He paused, his eyes gleaming with a black and white light.

"Moreover, he needs to see the 'real' strength of the Grass Country, and we need his 'power' to temporarily intimidate the Five Great Nations. Each gets what they need, and this is the most solid foundation of the alliance."

"Give me some more time, until the research department makes further progress... By then, it's uncertain who will be stronger."

"The Rinnegan... I'd like to witness its power. I'll intervene if necessary..."

Although the members of the Akatsuki organization were very sensible and did not engage in a major battle with them, Ichiraku Otsutsuki still looked forward to fighting against the same kind of God Eye.

His pure white eyes shifted slightly, but his focus seemed to fall on the distant void, as if the swirling chaos outside the palace was more worthy of attention than the important matter of the alliance before him.

For him, power, alliances, and ninja world conflicts seem to be distant and irrelevant background noise.

Uchiha Sho suddenly had a good idea, and his eyes became somewhat excited.

"A moment of joy."

His voice carried a hint of mischief, as if he were teasing a naive child.

"I heard that the newly opened food alley on the west street of Kusagakure gathers eighteen of the most distinctive flavors in the ninja world, as well as the secret-recipe sansho grilled meat from the Land of Rivers..."

Otsutsuki Ichiraku's perpetually icy expression finally showed a very subtle softening.

His pure white eyes turned almost imperceptibly toward Uchiha Sō, and although he still showed no emotion, his focused demeanor was completely different from his previous absent-minded appearance.

It seemed that the words "snack alley" and "secret recipe Sichuan pepper roasted meat" attracted his attention more than the Rinnegan.

Uchiha Sho's smile deepened, like a fox that had successfully teased its prey.

"Since you are so... 'concerned' about the development of the Grass Country, the order and prosperity of this snack street will be left to you to 'take care of' in your spare time."

After all, the stability and well-being of the people are the foundation of our Heavenly Court.

Ichiraku Otsutsuki remained silent for a full three seconds, seemingly weighing the pros and cons of "taking care of" the food street versus continuing to make ramen in Konoha.

Finally, he nodded almost imperceptibly, which was taken as an agreement.

This reaction made Yekura chuckle, and even the worried Shisui's lips twitched slightly.

As expected of the founder of Ichiraku Ramen, he is indeed different from other strong ninjas.

"Alright, the alliance is settled, and the division of labor is clear."

Uchiha Xiang suppressed his mischievousness and sat up straight.

He casually placed his hands, fingers interlaced, on the invisible "armrests" in front of him, his posture still relaxed.

But an invisible aura of majesty had already quietly spread, like an invisible tide, instantly sweeping away the remaining relaxed atmosphere in the hall.

The chaotic mist seemed to sense the change in the dominant will, and surged even more heavily and oppressively.

"The Heavenly Court is newly established, and many things need to be done. The foundation of the Grass Kingdom needs to be solidified, and the direction of the Rain Kingdom has been opened. We need to continue to explore the future."

His gaze slowly swept over Yekura and Shisui, finally landing on Ichiraku. His voice was not loud, but every word was clear, as if branded into the depths of everyone's consciousness.

"From this day forward, every seven days at this hour, the leaders of all departments will gather in the Heavenly Emperor's Palace."

To summarize the situation from all sides and coordinate the operations of the various departments of the Divine Court. Gentlemen, does anyone have any objections?

His tone was not one of inquiry, but of declaration. A declaration of an unalterable ironclad rule.

Ye Cang's smug smile vanished, replaced by the solemnity of a soldier facing a military order in his heterochromatic pupils.

She straightened her back and said in a deep voice, "The Sirius Tribe has no objections!"

The voice was firm and resolute.

Zhi Shui's face was calm, and his clear eyes shone with a solemn look towards the future: "Zhi Shui obeys, Brother Xiang."

Beneath his mature-beyond-his-years demeanor lies absolute loyalty to his duties.

Ōtsutsuki Ichiraku's pure white eyes remained calm and still, as if the rule of gathering every seven days was no different from letting him manage the food street, only uttering the same unchanging syllables from his throat.

"Ah."

"it is good."

Uchiha Sō uttered only this one word.

As he spoke, the nine dark dragons that had been slowly winding around the throne suddenly raised their heads!

The silent dragon roar seemed to explode directly on the soul level!

The entire Heavenly Imperial Palace resonated violently, and the purple patterns of the Rinnegan on the giant pillars supporting the sky suddenly burst forth with dazzling light!

boom!

Within the boundless chaotic mist, it was as if an invisible behemoth was stirring wildly, instantly transforming into a massive vortex that swept across the entire Great Luo Blessed Land!

The hazy, chaotic energy surged and converged towards the central bronze table and the high imperial throne with unprecedented ferocity!

It was as if the power of the entire space had been drained, compressed, and concentrated into a single point!

In that instant when chaotic energy violently coalesced and space trembled, Uchiha Zō's voice pierced through the raging waves of energy, clearly resounding deep within the spiritual core of every member—calm, yet carrying a grand will akin to the creation of the world:

"Remember, the meaning of our Heavenly Divine Court's existence—"

At the center of the chaotic vortex, the light was blindingly bright.

"Let us usher in an era of lasting peace for this chaotic ninja world."

The final words fell like the lingering echo of a divine oracle.

The chaotic energy, which had been frantically gathering and compressed to its limit, suddenly contracted inward!

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Three streaks of light, as if propelled by an invisible force, instantly separated from the chairs beside the bronze table and shot into the depths of the chaotic mist, disappearing in an instant.

Inside the majestic Heavenly Emperor Palace, only the throne with its nine dragons coiled around it and the figure on the throne that seemed to originate from the same source as chaos remained.

The surging gray fog slowly subsided, filling every corner of the space once more, concealing the magnificent palace once more into the eternal, unchanging "nothingness" that gives birth to everything.

Within the boundless gray fog, nine black dragons slowly merged into one, transforming into a towering divine tree that reached the heavens and stood majestically between heaven and earth.

The top of the divine tree is where the Heavenly Emperor's Palace is located.

This towering tree was transformed from the ten-tailed juveniles of the Great Luo Blessed Land.

Chapter 103, End of Konoha 47

The world never stops turning just because someone is missing, and the history of Konoha will not stop because Orochimaru defected.

End of Konoha 47 (47th year).

As the ninjas who went to pursue Orochimaru gradually returned, all eyes in Konoha shifted to the selection of a new supreme leader for the village.

Uchiha Sho, who had returned to work at the Konoha Police Department, looked at Shisui, who appeared in front of him, with some confusion.

"Brother Xiang, I think I understand what you mean."

After a long while, Shisui finally raised his head and looked at Uchiha Sō with utmost seriousness.

"If the family wanted to change its current state of division, everyone had to make sacrifices."

"We were just lucky to encounter an 'accident' that gave everyone renewed hope, which is why everyone was willing to contribute to the family and gradually support Brother Xiang."

"I also want to contribute my strength to the ideal of creating eternal peace in the ninja world."

Uchiha Ei listened to these words as if they were the words, "I want to join the club."

Looking at Shisui, who had just turned fourteen, he thought for a moment before speaking.

"Join the Security Department. The Security Department's reform has entered a critical period. Next, it will gradually affect the interests of various ninja clans. Jingyue's strength alone is still insufficient."

"As the minister, it's not convenient for me to personally handle everything."

"You can also take this opportunity to study properly; I think this would be your best choice."

"I understand, Brother Xiang."

Zhi Shui stood up and then bowed deeply.

"Then I'll go report to Jing Yue."

Seeing Shisui's resolute state, Uchiha Sō was momentarily dazed.

Ok?

What's going on? How come Shisui has started to "become like a god" since returning from Kusagakure?

I feel like my personal charm has skyrocketed.

"However, this is also good, as it provides an opportunity to further expand the Security Department's authority in Konoha."

After visiting that day, Shisui went straight to report to Jingyue.

Therefore, Jingyue had no choice but to personally visit Uchiha Sō.

After all, whether it was the Uchiha clan or the Heavenly Court, Shisui was a "dove".

However, Zhi Shui eventually joined the Security Department and participated in the Security Department's on-the-job training with others.

At this time, Uchiha Sō went to see Namikaze Minato, and with his assistance, he used his battle merits to exchange for the Book of Sealing from Sarutobi Hiruzen.
