Uchiha Yue's existence was like a black hole continuously absorbing heat. Perhaps even if he hadn't done anything, this planet would still have plunged into the ice age.
So far, Hidden Stone Village has not achieved any results. If we talk about regrets, then of course there were in Oonoka's heart. "Damn incompetents!" he thought. Once upon a time, they confidently swore that they would create a weapon capable of killing Uchiha Yue, or find his weakness. We spent so many resources, and in the end, when the Hidden Cloud Village had already started operating, there was still no success here.
If he hadn't proposed a plan to capture Uchiha Yue's eyes and parasitize other villages back then, but had honestly formed an alliance and joined forces to strike at him, would the situation be different now?
After all, Uchiha Yue was not so strong at that time. Maybe he could have been killed then.
It can be said that two reasons led to the current state of affairs in the Shinobi world: the direct one was Konoha's insane actions against the Uchiha clan, and the indirect one was the greed of the Hidden Stone Village, which gave rise to the concept of the "dark forest" and completely destroyed trust.
The world was really on the verge of destruction. Although outwardly everything seemed calm, anxiety was raging in Onoka's soul. He constantly went to the village laboratory, hurried the scientists and was even ready to make concessions.
Capture Uchiha Yue's eyes and parasitize other villages?
No, that's enough. Now he wanted only one thing — Uchiha Yue's death. Hidden Stone Village couldn't handle such an immortal, ever-growing monster. They overestimated themselves and completely underestimated the horror that Uchiha Yue represented.
They considered him to be a man like them who would die if he was killed. But he wasn't a man, he was a god. No, not a god, but a monster. After all, before the awakening of the Mangekyo Sharingan, Uchiha Yue was really a human being — a pathetic, weak commoner whom any genin could cut down. The only thing that connected him to the Uchiha clan was his last name and a drop of their blood.
Only after truly realizing the full horror of Uchiha Yue, realizing the difference between him and humans, could one truly be scared and sound the alarm.
It is as if an illiterate person, having contracted AIDS, thought that it was a cold and it was enough to drink medicine. And when he finally understood the truth, he would realize what despair is.
Uchiha Yue, after his essence and terrifying nature were comprehended, began to be perceived not as a deity or the savior of the world, but as an incurable disease of humanity, a death sentence for the whole world. In fact, he was a living being, scarier than a black hole.
Even if they found out everything about him, down to his true identity as a migrant from another world, what difference would it make?
It would be akin to coming to the emperor and scoffing at the fact that he used to be a beggar, and the origin of the scoffer was much more noble. If you say that today, heads will roll tomorrow, and your family will be exterminated.
Some knowledge is useless. The worst part is when you know everything, but you can't do anything, you're absolutely powerless.
So Onoki despaired. He didn't know what to do, and he could only constantly rush the researchers to calm himself down and drown out the oppressive feeling. He was even going to contact other villages and discuss forming an alliance.
It was precisely because of this desperation that, after seeing the prophecy, he believed in it without hesitation!
This prophecy, the existence of a Child of Prophecy, became for them a saving straw, which they grasped with a death grip.
"We need to find the Child of Prophecy as soon as possible. Uchiha Yue must die! Such a monster shouldn't exist. And even those eyes… These eyes must be destroyed! Such dangerous things should never be left behind!
"Big brother, if we can really get Uchiha Yue's eyes, it will definitely benefit Konoha and the world!"
—No, Tobirama, don't you understand by now? Uchiha Yue's eyes are not a force, they are a disaster. Using them alone is enough to destroy an entire country. And where is the guarantee that after extraction, these eyes will not continue to grow?
— Didn't you say that Uchiha Yue's power would cover the entire planet?
"If we win and kill Uchiha Yue, but allow these eyes to develop further, then one day, when they are used, it will be a blow not to the enemy, but to ourselves!"
— …
"You're right, big brother. Uchiha Yue's eyes are really too dangerous.
Senju Tobirama and Senju Hashirama were discussing Uchiha Yue. In the end, they decided that Uchiha Yue's eyes must be destroyed at all costs.
It was not enough that they had just killed Uchiha Yue, and a few years later a new one appeared.
At that moment, Orochimaru entered.
— Mr. One, Mr. Two, there may be a solution to the problem with Uchiha Yue!
A prophecy? The child of Prophecy?
This…
Isn't the Child of Prophecy the one Jiraiya has been looking for all this time? And the prophecy... isn't that the power of the Great Sage Toad from Mount Myoboku?
In the office of the Hokage, Orochimaru looked at Senju Tobirama and asked a question:
— What are we going to do, Mr. Second? Is it worth forming an alliance? And this is the Child of Prophecy.…
"An alliance?" Of course, to conclude! Senju Tobirama agreed without hesitation, nodding. — This is a great opportunity. Gather the forces of the entire Shinobi world and destroy Uchiha Yue! And destroy those sinister eyes! As for the Child of Prophecy, it may be true! Unless, of course, that guy named Jigen is crazy!
In fact, Konoha had previously tried to establish contacts with other villages in order to unite against Uchiha Yue. Tsunade and the others were constantly sending messages, but unfortunately, everyone had their own plans, and no one paid attention to Konoha, and some even considered her attempts ridiculous.
"Jiraiya, you've been looking for the Child of Prophecy all this time, haven't you?" I didn't think it really existed! Tsunade, who was standing next to him, said to Jiraiya.
—Child of Prophecy...— muttered Jiraiya without answering.
He didn't expect that the Child he had been looking for for so many years would show up on her own.
No, it's not like that. This Child of Prophecy is not necessarily the one he was looking for. After all, there was not a word about Uchiha Yue in the previous predictions of the Great Toad Sage. Uchiha Yue was…
