After all, the Country of Fire was the first to suffer, not the other countries. According to preliminary estimates, it will take at least four months for Uchiha Yue's power to spread to the other four great Shinobi countries. It hadn't even been two days, so they actually had plenty of time.
That's why they gradually began to forget about what had happened. But now, at this very moment, realizing the full horror of Uchiha Yue, truly realizing that they didn't seem to have a way to destroy him, hatred flared up in them with renewed vigor!
Now, in the Shinobi world, anyone who had any access to information already knew why things had turned out this way. Everyone knew that Uchiha Yue had been just a commoner before. If Shimura Danzo hadn't raised his cleaver over the Uchiha clan, such a monster would never have been born.
If Uchiha Yue hadn't appeared, their days would have passed peacefully and quietly, everyone would have been doing their own thing. Even if another Great Shinobi War broke out, it would be better than it is now.
The Great Shinobi War is just the death of a certain number of people, but the existence of Uchiha Yue threatens to destroy the whole world! Everyone must die!
At this stage, no one believed that Uchiha Yue's growth would stop. If he wasn't killed, the death of the world seemed to be a foregone conclusion.
Darkness, silence, cold, dead silence…
It was a hellish abyss, scarier than the cosmic abyss, where no living being could survive.
In the distance, above a giant chasm crater, two jinchuuriki from Hidden Cloud Village began to fall. Such a height, the already heavily injured bodies, the huge amount of energy expended in a short moment, the Tailed Beasts that did not have time to recover — because of all these factors, even jinchuuriki would not have survived if they had fallen down.
Unfortunately, all the Shinobi were now engrossed in the horror of the impending catastrophe and the imminent destruction of the world, and they didn't care about the jinchuuriki from another village.
And only Ootsutsuki Isshiki!
— It seems like these stupid Shinobi have realized the true horror of Uchiha Yue. Hehe, now it's my time to act!
Jigen's tall figure, controlled by Ootsutsuki Isshiki, turned into a blurred silhouette and rushed towards the two jinchuuriki from the Hidden Cloud.
The corners of Ootsutsuki Isshiki's lips curved into a smile. From now on, he will become a prophet, a mysterious entity hidden in the Shinobi world that has never revealed itself before. With a great prophecy of salvation, he will conquer this world and force it to direct all its forces to his resurrection!
Previously, these Shinobi did not realize the horror that Uchiha Yue represented. If he had tried to conquer them, he would have met only fierce resistance. After all, they all thought they could handle Uchiha Yue on their own. Who is this so-called prophet? "Watch as we develop a superweapon and blow you to pieces!"—that's what they would think. No one would have attached importance to his so-called prophecy.
Resurrection… He had to be resurrected. This is the only way he will have a choice: stay on this planet, find a way to kill Uchiha Yue and capture his eyes, or leave it, return to the Ootsutsuki clan and inform them about him. And not like now — just stay on this planet and wait for death, only to end up dying ignominiously at the hands of Uchiha Yue because of two damned, stupid natives.
He grabbed the bodies of the two jinchuuriki and, opening the portal, immediately left this place.
Inside the Area of Dead Silence, Uchiha Yue slowly lowered his hand. His gaze, which had been turned outward, returned to himself. He smoothly raised his other hand, and the chakra in his body began to move.
The space around him rippled like a sheet of water. If someone had tried to use summoning techniques or space-time ninjutsu like "Flying Thunder God" next to him now, he would most likely have failed.
For the technique to work, he would need several times more chakra than usual.
Spatial interference ninjutsu.
That's what he's been researching lately. Although, in truth, he sometimes studied other ninjutsu. The rest of the time, he just enjoyed the serenity, the emptiness, the dead silence, the peace that comes when you feel like you're alone in the whole world.
He found that he seemed to love this empty peace. The feeling that he was alone in the whole world, in the whole universe, gave him an inexplicable, charming feeling. A sense of security.
Everything that exists is perishable, everything is nothing. This utter emptiness drew him in, he reveled in it.
He became noisy. The conversations of living beings, their actions—everything except himself—seemed to him an unbearable noise. He realized that he didn't like it. He suddenly realized that he didn't like a world full of life. The world he loved is a world where everything is perishable, where there is endless emptiness, dead cold, where there is no life, no noise; a world of cold, peace, silence and emptiness.
So that was it... that was exactly what he liked. Now, if he were in a crowd, he would probably feel unbearably sick and anxious. I would like to destroy everything, turn everything into nothing.
Mangekye Sharingan — eyes that reflect the soul. The desire to live, to be reborn, to gain strength... it was not necessary for him to awaken his current abilities. To turn everything into nothing, into cold... perhaps this was the truest, most intimate reflection of his soul.
At the same time, he longed to survive, longed to prolong his life indefinitely, to exist forever in this dark void, to forever enjoy the immortal silence, to revel in the peace that intoxicated and fascinated.
"So resist me!" Try to kill me! Hehe... and then accept your fate! Everything that exists is corruption! May all who live know the dead silence! Everything is emptiness!
— Ha ha ha ha ha!
Uchiha Yue laughed, and then closed his eyes, sinking into silence.
— As expected, they lost. Uchiha Yue's strength is truly terrifying. Obito, let's get out of here. There's no point in staying here anymore! Black Zetsu said, looking at the Area of Dead Silence, which had returned to rest, and then turning to Obito Uchiha, who was standing next to him.
—Yeah…
Uchiha Obito nodded. A moment ago, he thought that Uchiha Yue was really about to die. He even began to figure out how to get hold of the Hidden Cloud superweapon, so that by threatening them, he could force the other villages to give up their Tailed Beasts.
After all, even he had always considered Uchiha Yue to be an immortal monster with three lives. And this time, when the Cloud used its so-called superweapon, it actually…
