He spoke like a robot, and his tone was particularly awkward, as if he had copied it from someone else.

"Huh?" Zhang Chengyi had no recollection of what Gaara should thank him for. Most of his consciousness was in the virtual world, maintaining the operation of the tower and the world. The small amount of consciousness that maintained his body was mostly used to enjoy himself, eating delicious food, seeing beautiful scenery, and soaking in hot springs.

He didn't give anyone special treatment; everyone's loved ones were all resurrected in the same way, so why would he remember any one person individually?

Gaara straightened up, forcing a standard, toothy smile that would make anyone with a big butt ache. "Thank you for letting me see my mother."

"Oh," Zhang Chengyi responded, standing lazily in place. "Is there something you need?"

There's really no need to give special thanks, and since Chiyo brought her here, she's probably here to 'fulfill her wish'.

Gaara paused for a moment, and under Chiyo's gaze, said, "You mentioned before that you would grant my wish..." As he spoke, for the first time in his life, he felt embarrassed and ashamed.

This emotion, which he had never felt before and didn't even know what it was, gave him an urge to run away immediately.

But both the village and his mother needed him to plead for their 'wish,' so he couldn't leave.

When a person has attachments, they are forced to sacrifice their emotions for the sake of reality.

Zhang Chengyi perked up slightly. "Speak, what is your wish?"

Chiyo remained silent, her expression unchanged, but a sense of shame welled up inside her. She probably didn't care at all about using emotions to coerce a child into doing this, as a former professional ninja.

But as people get older, they become more soft-hearted.

"Please resurrect the Kazekage of all ages."

Gaara's voice sounded muffled.

"Snapped!"

Zhang Chengyi snapped his fingers. "It's very simple, your wish has been granted."

The existence of the illusory world makes his resurrection much easier. In the past, he had to exchange a large amount of life force for his soul to be resurrected. Now, the illusory world already has souls, so he only needs to use the Yin-Yang Escape Technique to create a body, which is very convenient.

Thank you very much.

Chiyo bowed deeply. She wasn't sure if what the other person said was true or false, but for a powerful figure known as the Sage of Six Paths of the new era to say that it "has been achieved," there was no need to doubt anything.

"Don't thank me, thank Gaara instead." Zhang Chengyi strode away. "My wish has been fulfilled, we're even now."

He soon staggered back to his room, made his bed, lay down, and was about to fall asleep when a half-black, half-white creature crawled out of the ground.

"What are you doing here?" He had no intention of making a move.

In the past, he would have been wary of Black Zetsu, but now he's just watching for fun. He even intends to directly revive Kaguya, capture the Otsutsuki, and study the Otsutsuki and the Divine Tree to complete the rules of the fictional world.

"Zhang Chengyi".

Black Zetsu looked at the incomprehensible man before him and said, "Let's cooperate."

Chapter 496 Skip

Black Zetsu believed he had reached a point where he had no other choice.

If Madara Uchiha's feelings about the illusory world were one of acceptance but not of Zhang Chengyi's reliability, Obito Uchiha's were one of complete rejection, and Nagato's were one of near acceptance, then this true mastermind was someone who could not accept it at all.

While others may not fully grasp the true value of a 'virtual world' versus 'creation out of thin air,' it is perfectly clear to it.

The Tsukuyomi illusion space that has become long-lasting for some unknown reason, and the Yin-Yang Release technique that can be used infinitely.

This is too outrageous.

Black Zetsu was initially skeptical when he realized that the Tsukuyomi genjutsu could be released across the entire ninja world.

Even if Zhang Chengyi didn't know how to create an illusion space that could accommodate so many people, the fact that he could pull almost everyone's spirits in without relying on the moon was truly admirable, and even Kaguya's will thought it was very impressive.

However, a closer look reveals that this is possible because most people have Zhang Chengyi's chakra within them, much like the chakra reincarnations of Ashura and Indra. This guy releases his chakra little by little, which still seems a bit far-fetched, but it's understandable to him.

Black Zetsu's thought was, "Just keep at it and see how long you can last."

According to its estimate, it should end in a few hours, or a day or two at most. Infinite Tsukuyomi relies on the characteristics of the Divine Tree and continuously draws chakra from the person enveloped by the Divine Tree. In addition, the Ten-Tails and the Divine Tree can absorb natural energy. In essence, it is not the person who releases Infinite Tsukuyomi who sustains all the consumption.

Zhang Chengyi's entire Tsukuyomi illusion space, which he maintained entirely on his own, could not last long, no matter how much it was overestimated.

Within the illusion space, there are hundreds of millions of spirits active. The longer it lasts, the more the consumption increases. It cannot think of any reason why an individual can expend such a huge amount of chakra.

One day, two days, three days, more than a month passed. Black Zetsu not only witnessed the genjutsu space that could exist for a long time and the bizarre login ninjutsu that allowed people to enter and exit at will, but also saw the Yin-Yang Release technique being abused wildly.

It should be noted that even the rebellious son, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, could not provide such a large amount of supplies to people all over the world.

No matter how powerful chakra is, it still has to satisfy the law of conservation of energy. The amount of power expended is equal to the amount of benefit gained. Generally, the excess is filled by 'spirit', and there is no such thing as creating it out of thin air.

Yin-Yang Release techniques also require a large amount of chakra.

How could it be possible to use Yin-Yang Release techniques indefinitely to create food, clothes, or even toys for ordinary ninjas?

【I've seen everything in my life.jpg】→【I've never seen this thing before.jpg】

Black Zetsu's heart sank lower and lower until it finally fell into the pit.

A freak who knows everything, possesses chakra with no limit, and also has rebellious ninjutsu.

It even suspected that Hagoromo Otsutsuki might not have died, but rather had spent many years researching and then appeared in Zhang Chengyi's guise to amuse it.

Until it followed Madara Uchiha and heard Zhang Chengyi say he wanted to create the Ten-Tails—

It immediately realized that an opportunity had arrived.

This guy has a quirky sense of humor and is a real comedian, but when it comes to real fun, he doesn't care how far things go.

If Black Zetsu didn't clearly know that the abilities the other party was using were still within his comprehension, he would have thought it was another 'Otsutsuki'.

In short, it took the initiative to step forward, appealing to emotions and reason, and spoke in extremely inflammatory and thought-provoking language, the main point of which was what the mother would do to help the other party. Just as it was about to say the second part, about the fun in the universe, it was interrupted on the spot.

"skip".

Zhang Chengyi said this.

What does this mean? Is it a special language? A code? Could it be related to my mother? Or perhaps...?

For the first time in his life, Black Zetsu got so confused by something that he almost crashed.

"Resurrecting Kaguya? I'll do it." Zhang Chengyi lazily closed his eyes, yawning, and said, "Don't disturb my sleep."

"Oh, right, turn off the lights." He gave the order very smoothly.

Black Zetsu remained in a daze, turned off the lights, and left the room. Even after returning to Madara Uchiha's side, its mind was still a mess.

Does this mean the collaboration was successful? Or what does it mean?

I don't understand it, I really don't understand it.

-----------------

The next day, early morning, in the real world, Konoha Village.

"Obito".

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the man brought back by Kakashi Hatake with a complicated expression.

He actually had a very good impression of Obito Uchiha. In his memories before his death, Obito's figure appeared. Even though he only remembered him because of Minato Namikaze, it still proved that he remembered this person.

More importantly, Obito's name was engraved on the memorial stone, a monument that only ninjas known as 'heroes' could have their names carved on.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kakashi's first reaction upon seeing Obito was, "Since you survived, why did you wait until now...?"

Essentially, if Obito were to return to the village, he would not only be a hero, but he would even have a chance to compete for the position of Hokage.

Kakashi's connections as a disciple of the Fourth Hokage and an elite Jonin, Kakashi is a man of impeccable lineage and immense potential, making him arguably the most likely candidate to bridge the gap between the village and the Uchiha clan.

Unfortunately……

"Stop pretending."

Obito Uchiha's face revealed a sinister and violent expression, his voice sharp and filled with hatred: "It's utterly disgusting!"

His hatred for Konoha didn't stem simply from Rin's death at Kakashi's hands, but rather from his yearning for the Will of Fire and his pursuit of the 'Dream of Hokage,' which drove Rin to 'voluntarily' run into Kakashi and die.

This is an understandable death, but he cannot accept that his ideals are built on the sacrifice of one innocent person after another; such a reality is the worst.

This leads to an extreme desire for peace.

After Madara Uchiha's death, he could have easily accumulated power as a hero by simply returning to Konoha, but instead, he chose to go mad and unleash the Nine-Tails' rampage.

This is simply because he wants revenge and to destroy his ideals.

Behind all of this lies his innermost thought during the Fourth Shinobi World War: "I regret what I did... If I go back to the village and become Hokage, just thinking about it makes me feel like a hole in my heart has been filled."

His mistake of instigating the Nine-Tails' rampage completely destroyed any possibility of him returning to Konoha and becoming Hokage. He had no other options left. On one hand, there was the reality of endless garbage that he had managed to exploit to the point of exhaustion; on the other hand, there was the world of genjutsu with infinite possibilities.

This choice is not difficult at all.

Having failed in his resistance and been captured, all he wanted at that moment was a quick death to end everything. He had no desire to reveal the emotions he recalled after being defeated by Kakashi, including his life memories and the feelings of "Obito wanting to become Hokage" that came to mind in his despair.

Chapter 497 The Prisoner's First Experience

Obito Uchiha forgot one thing.

Or perhaps, because he had never entered the virtual world, he couldn't understand that death wasn't the end for the ninjas at that moment.

He only wanted a quick death, so he was sealed and imprisoned. Without the ability to resist, he was invaded by Zhang Chengyi's chakra that very night and entered a virtual world.

"Obito..."

Lin's voice rang in my ears.

Obito Uchiha opened his eyes, his face stiff and expressionless, and remained silent.

He firmly believed that the illusory world was an illusion, and even Lin was created by illusion. He had no desire to communicate with the illusionary creations or the damned Zhang Chengyi.

Yes, if in the past he hated the garbage reality the most, he ignored the vast majority of people, similar to how a player ignores random NPCs.

So after Akatsuki was completely destroyed, Black Zetsu disappeared, and Madara Uchiha was inexplicably resurrected, the person he hated most was undoubtedly Zhang Chengyi.

Because he hated everything associated with the house, he saw the illusion world as nothing more than pure illusion, and an illusion space that couldn't forcibly imprison the human mind was no match for the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

As for the ability to create things out of thin air, he regarded it as a kind of spatial ninjutsu for transporting supplies.

Love can make people lose their minds, and so can hate.

If he had been more rational, he wouldn't have taken his anger out on Konoha over the shattered dream and Rin's death, causing the Nine-Tails to wreak havoc. This left him with an unfillable void in his heart for the next decade or so, which ultimately led to his humiliating defeat in the Fourth Shinobi World War, where he looked like a clown.

Rin Nohara knew Obito's personality well, so she didn't rush to make him believe anything. She simply spoke softly about her longing, what she had seen, and her thoughts about the future.
