He's just a guy who inherited such a tiny bit of the Divine Tree's blood, which was barely enough to awaken the Sharingan. It was no longer that the student had surpassed the teacher, it was a real, true mutation. That drop of blood that flowed in the veins of Uchiha Yue, in the opinion of Ootsutsuki Isshiki, no longer had, in fact, anything to do with the Divine Tree.
After all, the Divine Tree needed the energy of the planet to grow, that is, the life force. What about that monster?
He could absorb absolutely any energy!
It was much scarier than the Divine Tree itself.
After all, if the Tree could absorb any energy for endless growth, would the Ootsutsuki trade for some tiny, vibrant planet?
Yes, for living beings, the planet that gave birth to them is big, huge and occupies a special, sacred place. However, this is so only for themselves.
The energy contained in an inhabited planet is just a drop in the ocean for a star. The mass of any star is hundreds of thousands, or even millions of times greater than the mass of such a planet.
If the Divine Tree could absorb any energy, why couldn't they just absorb the power of the sun and ascend to the peak of power in one step?
"The monster… He's just a monster! Perhaps, after my resurrection and the planting of the Divine Tree, I would have tried to kill you to take away your power, but now..." Ootsutsuki Isshiki turned his head, peering into the distance, into that impenetrable, bottomless darkness that seemed about to swallow the universe itself.
Right now, he had no thoughts of going in there alone and fighting Uchiha Yue.
Anyway, in the eyes of Ootsutsuki Isshiki, all these Shinobi were crazy fools. Their minds were clouded by the benefits of gaining Yue's power. They looked like those capitalists who, for the sake of profit, would be willing to sell a rope on which they would be hanged. They've gone completely crazy.
However, that was the essence of people. For the sake of profit, they are capable of many unthinkable, and sometimes completely reckless actions. The so—called "intelligent people" are just a fiction. In fact, many of them had brains only on the outside, not on the inside. Any petty gain, even the most ridiculous rumors, could plunge them into the abyss of madness.
Moreover, they really did not know, did not realize the true nature of Uchiha Yue. So far, no one except Ootsutsuki Isshiki has managed to kill Yue more than three times. Even those who came face to face with him, like Nagato, were destroyed in the blink of an eye, barely managing to land a blow that did not even penetrate his defense.
And what about Sarutobi Hiruzen?
They were only able to see Uchiha Yue and exchange a few words with him with all their might. And in the end, Yue didn't even lift a finger. If it weren't for the souls of Shimura Danzo and Uchiha Itachi, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have remained there forever.
Apart from them, no one who saw Uchiha Yue left alive.
Under such circumstances, who could comprehend his true nature?
In their imagination, Uchiha Yue, who has three lives and the ability to rebirth, was already something from the category of myths, the limit of their imagination. Should I tell them that Uchiha Yue is truly immortal?
Such words would sound like nonsense, like a bad joke. How can truly immortal beings exist in this world?
It was like going outside and shouting that you came from a parallel world. No one will take it seriously — you'll just be considered crazy.
— Well, it's time to unite the whole Shinobi world!
A slight smile appeared on Jigen's face.
He was going to act.
— Ready!
In the Hidden Cloud Village, an electromagnetic Lightning Element cannon, similar to a mountain range, soared into the air under the influence of magnetic devices and began to slowly move towards Uchiha Yue.
"Eight Tails, ha ha ha, unleash our power!
In the very heart of the cannon, in two compartments resembling giant batteries, Killer B and Yugito Nii rested. Their bodies were covered with writings and braided with pipelines made of chakra metal. An endless stream of the Tailed Beasts' chakra poured out of their bodies, was processed, transformed into senjutsu chakra, and finally fed this colossal weapon.
In fact, the cannon was terribly primitive. She moved and functioned solely due to the brute force of the chakra. There were few technologies in it, and that is why it was possible to create it in such a short time.
Even her twenty-kilometer-long trunk, if it were not filled with chakra, would simply bend under its own weight. Yes, it was made of high-strength alloy, but it turned out to be too long.
Initially, they wanted to make a trunk thirty kilometers long, but it turned out to be impossible. Without filling it with chakra, it immediately bent. What the hell!
Twenty kilometers was the limit.
It can be said that jinchuuriki were not just a source of energy, but also the frame of an electromagnetic cannon, while this whole structure of various metals was only its flesh.
—Uchiha Yue...— Hey stood on top of the cannon, arms crossed over his chest, and looked into the distance, as if he saw the impenetrable darkness that cut off the path to heaven and earth and seemed about to engulf the whole world.
He was absolutely confident that with the help of this cannon, he could finally destroy Uchiha Yue. The only thing that bothered him was the possibility of accidentally damaging the opponent's eyes. That wouldn't be good.
But there was no other way out. They didn't know what the other villages had come up with, but it was the only way they could think of to defeat Uchiha Yue. If his eyes were really going to be destroyed, he would have to rely on the power of the weapon itself.
"If we don't get his eyes, then the share of the other villages shouldn't be too large either. Sixty percent, perhaps," he mused.
Although it's not seventy percent, it's not bad either. Over time, by constantly improving and strengthening the electromagnetic cannon, eliminating its weaknesses, it will be possible to increase its share to eighty.
He had unlimited confidence in what was under his feet.
In fact, if it weren't for extreme caution, the electromagnetic cannon wouldn't need to move at all. It was enough to stay in the Hidden Cloud Village, adjust the parameters, aim and shoot so that the blow would reach the target.
