Chapter 72 - Union, dead at birth

One has only to continuously explore, analyze, and think — and sooner or later they will find Uchiha Yue's weakness. And when they find him, they'll be able to defeat him.

After all, the greatness of humanity lies in its wisdom. The ability to defeat brute force with a sophisticated strategy!

Unfortunately, the weak point of this monster has not been found so far. But if the entire Shinobi world had joined forces and minds, perhaps vulnerability could have been found much faster.

Initially, the Sand Village planned to contact the Hidden Stone to propose an alliance. At that moment, they were motivated by only one goal: to destroy Uchiha Yue, a monster that is almost one hundred percent likely to destroy the Shinobi world one day.

Wiping up the dirt after a lousy Konoha and her dog Danzo… They have already established contact with both the Cloud and the Fog, and even agreed to meet in person. Everything went on as usual until they heard rumors about the true ambitions of the Hidden Stone.

To get Uchiha Yue's eyes... to gain unprecedented power… To subjugate the Shinobi world, take all orders, parasitize other villages, and live happily ever after... Such a conspiracy, such sinister thoughts— is truly…

Amazing! Brilliant! It's amazing!

How the hell could such a brilliant idea be born in this world? How does old Man Onoka's brain work to create such an amazing idea? Oh, ho, ho, what a wonderful idea, what a hilariously wonderful future! Ha ha ha... just thinking about it made Rasa's lips curl into a predatory grin.

And these are not empty fantasies. Everything is quite feasible. The mountain is here. Uchiha Yue — here he is!

It is only necessary to remove him by intrigue and cunning, and this supreme, unprecedented force will become theirs!

From that day on, the talks about the union stopped. Previous contacts, the so—called alliance, the planned meeting - all this disappeared as if it had never existed.

Only that fool Mizukage kept sending one message after another to the Village of Sand.

"Rasa, Rasa, when will we meet?"

"Rasa, didn't we agree on a date?"

"Why the hell did you all shut up?!"

What an idiot. Has he still not realized the true value of Uchiha Yue's eyes?

After reading the letter, Rasa didn't even think to reply. He was engrossed in discussing plans against Yue with the village council, indulging in sweet daydreams.

And the Mizukage really didn't realize. Even Uchiha Obito was at a loss at the time: hadn't they agreed to meet to discuss a plan of action?

Why is everything suddenly quiet?

It was only when the White Zetsu informed him of the true intentions of the three villages that Obito realized he was dealing with a bunch of greedy idiots. Yes, such a future for the village is a temptation that is difficult to resist, but don't they see what is happening right now?!

The world is on the verge of destruction! And these blind people only think about their own petty benefits!

Tired of living?

This world, in fact, is a complete farce. Especially for Shinobi. You need to understand that ninja villages are young and unstable formations. Their leaders, the Kage, do not come to power thanks to a genius mind, but most often according to a teacher-student succession system. Their history is shorter than that of many of the states they supposedly protect.

— By the way, sir, that super-strong Shinobi desperately shouted something like "Izanagi..." before he died.

The ninja's voice, reporting to Rasa, snapped him out of his thoughts.

Rasa fell into deep thought.

"Izanagi? How can Uchiha Yue know this technique? Wasn't he a commoner before the awakening of Mangekyo, unable to use even the simplest ninjutsu? How could he master Izanagi, a forbidden technique that requires Sharingan?"

Hidden Cloud Village.

Hey was looking through the report describing Izanagi's forbidden technique.

Exclusive Uchiha clan jutsu. Once it was owned by almost every member of the clan, but then, for unknown reasons, the technique almost disappeared. During the Great Shinobi Wars, almost none of the Uchiha used it.

Logically, even if the scrolls describing the technique were preserved in the clan, only a few could study it. Otherwise, the Uchiha's fighting power would have increased many times. Just imagine: you're exhausting yourself half to death to finally kill an enemy, and the next second he's resurrected.

And the price is just one blinded eye, but the other one remains!

This means that the Uchiha who wields this dojutsu actually has two lives.

And how to fight it?

However, in the past, the Uchiha clan was not so invulnerable, which means that this technique is not very common in the clan now. Probably, many Uchiha did not even suspect the existence of a jutsu in their family, which allows them to cheat death itself.

So how did Uchiha Yue, an upstart, useless weakling from the bottom, manage to master him?

This... this was beyond comprehension!

"Mr. Hey, have you forgotten?" The Uchiha clan has been destroyed, and Uchiha Yue is now living on their ancestral territory in Konoha!

— Exactly… That must be it. He found a way to explore Izanagi in the ancestral quarter! An epiphany flashed across Ey's face. The shock was so great that he completely lost sight of this obvious fact.

"It looks like to kill Uchiha Yue, you'll have to kill him twice... no, three times!"

Hey frowned. Things were getting ugly. Kill someone three times… How is this even possible?

— Nothing, we continue our research. I don't believe that my Hidden Cloud Village, full of talents, won't be able to come up with a way to finish him off!

Hey shook his head. The shadow of worry on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by boundless, almost reckless confidence.
