Uchiha's personal opinion

At this moment, the moon, which was originally only the height of the treetops, seemed to have suddenly risen to the top of the night sky in the blink of an eye.

"The moon is so round tonight..."

A member of the Uchiha clan muttered to himself.

Uchiha Tokumitsu closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, the Mangekyou Sharingan was already spinning rapidly within them.

Silently gazing at the moon in the sky, Uchiha Tokumitsu seemed to sense a mysterious voice calling to him from above.

The Uchiha ninjas who accompanied the group to pay their respects exchanged glances, seemingly sensing something amiss as well.

The shrine maiden Risa's face had turned pale.

She never expected that this fabricated ritual would actually attract the attention of some mysterious being!

"Could it be that the Goddess of the Rabbit and the Sage of Six Paths could actually exist...?"

The shrine maiden Risa's body began to tremble.

……

Black Zetsu, far away in the Land of Snow, also sensed the unusual state of the moon.

Disregarding the need to conceal their whereabouts, they quickly emerged from the ground and gazed in astonishment at the moon in the sky, which appeared several sizes larger than usual.

"Mother……"

Although he didn't have tear ducts, Black Zetsu felt as if his eyes were about to well up with tears.

How many years!

It has lost count of how many years it has been!

Countless years of planning, countless failures!

Separated from his mother Kaguya's embrace from birth, Black Zetsu has been involved in all sorts of conspiracies in the ninja world and has suffered countless setbacks. Finally, just after the moment of his birth, he senses the presence of his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, once again!

"moon……"

Black Zetsu stretched out his soft, black body completely, sprawling on the ground, basking in the moonlight.

The bright moonlight is just like a mother's love!

"I am gazing into the distance, above the moon..."

……

Suddenly, a dark cloud appeared out of nowhere, accompanied by a gust of evil wind, seemingly about to completely obscure the moon high in the sky.

"This is……"

Black Zetsu was startled, his filial piety vanished, and he no longer cared about bathing in the moonlight, immediately disappearing into the ground.

"Rebel!"

"It's that unfilial son!"

"He can actually interfere in the ninja world!"

……

Dark, gloomy clouds completely obscured the moonlight, leaving only the stone lanterns and the flames of fire-escape techniques within the shrine.

"What...what's going on..."

The shrine maiden Risa had knelt on the ground at some point, trembling all over and her teeth chattering, her mind completely blank.

Since the rise of ninjas swept away all ghosts and gods, even shrine maidens, apart from those sealed demons, have no longer been able to sense the existence of gods through similar festivals.

"It's actually a true god..."

These were the last thoughts in the mind of the shrine maiden Risa before she fainted.

The strange phenomena in the sky caused some commotion among the Uchiha ninjas, but after seeing Uchiha Tokumitsu still gazing at the night sky, they gradually regained their composure and followed suit, activating their Sharingan and looking up at the sky.

"—Kaleidoscope Eye Technique: Okuninushi!"

Suddenly, Uchiha Tokumitsu activated his Mangekyou Sharingan.

A crimson light flashed, connecting the pupil power of everyone present and forming an extremely ferocious pupil power storm.

All the Uchiha ninjas felt that their eye power was stronger than ever before!

A crimson light shot into the sky, soaring straight into the clouds.

But the dark night continued to blanket the sky, and even the light of my eyes could not penetrate the dark clouds.

Uchiha Tokumitsu was startled, feeling as if the very air was trying to bind him!

"The Sage of Six Paths..."

"Hagoromo Otsutsuki..."

Aside from this so-called ancestor, Uchiha Tokumitsu couldn't think of anyone else who could possess such power!

"very nice!"

"That's wonderful!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's laughter grew louder and louder.

He sensed it!

He sensed both the Sage of Six Paths' fury and Kaguya Otsutsuki's delirious ramblings!

As the laughter echoed, Uchiha Tokumitsu's Mangekyou Sharingan began to radiate outwards, forming a skeleton around his body while carrying chakra.

Then, materialized flesh, three heads, six arms, and two feet gradually filled in, and his body gradually rose into the air from the chakra chest.

"Susanoo!"

With a furious roar, Uchiha Tokumitsu's Mangekyou Sharingan spun almost into a blur, with endless Mangekyou power surging from his eyes, continuously solidifying Susanoo.

"Crack!"

Two wings grew from the back of Susanoo's tengu crow.

"happy!"

Although he was extremely exhausted, Uchiha Tokumitsu felt his mind was exceptionally clear.

With a slight flutter of its wings, accompanied by a billowing hurricane, the Tengu slowly rose into the air.

The dark clouds high in the sky seemed to be dripping ink.

The sense of oppression is getting stronger and stronger.

"hehe!"

Hehehehe!!!

Uchiha Tokumitsu, riding his tengu into the sky, laughed wildly.

Subsequently, a stream of extremely pure chakra condensed in each of the six arms of Susanoo.

"Susanoo: Yasakani no Magatama!"

The Six Paths Magatama were hurled from Susanoo's giant arm and flew straight into the sky.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

With the roar of the magatama, the dark clouds in the sky reluctantly dispersed, revealing the moon's face once more.

However, the moon no longer had that feeling of wanting to fall to earth.

……

"This is……"

In the distance, Black Zetsu mustered its courage and poked its head out from underground once more, gazing at the moon that had returned to normal.

This is so bizarre...

This is absolutely incredible...

Black Zetsu's gaze turned towards the Land of Fire.

Chapter 358 Unforgettable

Orochimaru wished he could be reincarnated as an Uchiha clan member right there on the spot.

This was an idea I'd never had before.

But at this moment, as he, like the other Konoha ninjas, grinned and watched in astonishment as the Tengu Demon God Statue soared through the sky and blasted away the dark clouds with its magic magatama, his worldview began to crumble.

"Is this something that can be done by human power?!"

Orochimaru stared in disbelief, muttering to himself, expressing the sentiments of all the Konoha ninja who witnessed this scene.

Although it wasn't that long ago, the Konoha ninja actually forgot about the terrifying power of the two strongest figures from the village's founding generation even faster than Onoki of Iwagakure, who had been directly humiliated by them.

Otherwise, the so-called former Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, would not have become the "strongest Hokage".

Orochimaru had witnessed Susanoo, and even the Armored Susanoo formed by combining with a tailed beast, on the battlefield.

But that is ultimately understandable, and one can even try to access that power through other means.

But when Orochimaru saw the three-headed, six-armed, two-winged crow tengu soaring in the sky, tearing through the clouds with every move, as if it had emerged from the beginning of time, Orochimaru felt powerless.

There was even an urge to prostrate oneself in worship.

Orochimaru leaped onto the roof of the research institute and looked around.

At this moment, Konoha was completely silent.

The research institute where he worked was alright; everyone was just shocked and stunned. But in Konoha's commercial district and even in the residential areas, people had already knelt down, trembling and kowtowing.

This is the ninja world, this is Konoha...

Orochimaru felt a surge of indescribable emotion.

"The so-called unbroken imperial lineage may indeed be true..."

At this moment, the last trace of ulterior motive in Orochimaru's heart completely dissipated.
