A powerful man like Uchiha Yue, with the blood of the Uchiha clan and a pair of mangekyo sharingans, suppressed the whole world. Although this may be an exceptional case, it is enough to prove how terrible the Uchiha clan is.
It had never occurred to anyone to touch Uchiha Sasuke before. After all, there was an assumption in the ninja world that Konoha was able to survive and was not wiped off the face of the earth by Uchiha Yue only because the last descendant of the Uchiha clan remained in it.
Fearing revenge and destruction at Yue's hands, they did not dare to touch Sasuke and even subconsciously ignored him.
But now, apparently, Uchiha Yue didn't give a damn about Uchiha Sasuke.
Uchiha Sasuke, the owner of the Uchiha clan's blood, could really become a child of fate destined to defeat Yue. And Konoha managed to lose this one Uchiha — what a stupid thing to do!
Damn it, Jiraiya, you idiots! Orochimaru cursed inwardly, feeling the eyes of others on him.
But what could he do? He was perplexed himself. If he had been in Konoha then, he would certainly have stopped this stupid and insane decision by Jiraiya. Who knows what gave Tom such confidence.
It wasn't his plan, and now he has to take responsibility for it. Damn it!
What infuriated him the most was that these idiots had pulled out his eyes during their experiments on Sasuke, and then put them back in.
They said it was to calm Uchiha Itachi down so that Yue wouldn't suspect anything. But if they had kept that pair of eyes back then, they would have had more research material. No, they had so much material, couldn't they have found some other eyes and inserted them into Sasuke?
Why give him back his own?
Unfortunately, Jiraiya and the others were overconfident at the time. They completely fell into the trap of their own logic, believing that once they met Uchiha Yue, he would obediently give up his eyes and commit suicide.
When they get Yue's eyes, who's going to care about Sasuke? He will become completely unimportant!
It's enough to invest three million to get fifty billion. And Uchiha Sasuke was those three million. With fifty billion at stake, who cares about those three million? Even such an absurd and obviously fraudulent proposal is believed by a bunch of idiots.
But the murder of Uchiha Yue promised much more than fifty billion!
Success is called genius and divine, and failure is called cowardice. If Jiraiya and the others' plan had worked, then no matter how incredible, naive, and stupid the process might seem, the right result would have made everyone admire them. Scold? No way!
Unfortunately, they failed.
It's like the destruction of the Uchiha clan. If Uchiha Yue hadn't appeared, no one would have questioned or even paid attention to what Itachi, Danzo, and the others had done. After all, they have succeeded!
At that moment, when everyone who was supposed to come had gathered, Otsutsuki Isshiki, who was sitting at the head of the table, spoke:
— So, gentlemen!
Silence instantly fell in the hall, and Otsutsuki Isshiki began to introduce himself.
According to him, he was a hermit with a powerful ability to prophesy, but this ability was beyond his control.
Shortly before, he predicted that Uchiha Yue would destroy this world, and the only way to defeat him and save the world was to unite and find the Child from the Prophecy.
It was the only hope for this world!
— The Shinobi world really needs to unite, but how can we be sure that your Child from the Prophecy is real? — Someone's voice rang out.
— Yes, on what grounds? What evidence do you have for the existence of the Child from the Prophecy?
— These are just your words. Who knows if your prophecy is true or false? Now everyone knows that Uchiha Yue is going to destroy the world. How do we know if you mistook your own nightmare for a prophecy because of too much pressure and fear?
— That's right. Now we should unite, gather all our forces and look for a way to defeat Uchiha Yue! What if there is no Child from the Prophecy, and we waste so much time? It's suicide!
Immediately, there were voices of doubt. They wanted to believe that the Child from the Prophecy existed, but they had to doubt, they had to verify the authenticity of the prophecy. What if this Jigen is just a madman who came with his own made—up prophecy? If they waste time and resources and get nothing, it will be the end.
They couldn't and didn't dare to trust the words of a madman without any evidence.
After all, no one had ever known Jigen before. He had no authority whatsoever. Who knows if he's telling the truth or lying.
"Heh, the Child of the Prophecy... how can such a thing even exist?" Nagato, who was sitting in the corner and shaking his head, grinned. — You just can't imagine how strong and terrible Uchiha Yue is!
As someone who had personally experienced the terrifying power of Uchiha Yue, deep down he did not believe in any Child from the Prophecy. It's a lie, it's all a lie. Uchiha Yue is invincible and indestructible, he cannot die. Only time can defeat Uchiha Yue!
"Evidence?" A smile appeared on Jigen's face. He was prepared for this development. —Hehe, if you want proof, I'll give it to you!"
In the next instant, his body slowly rose into the air, the power of "Karma" was gradually released, and a mighty, unstoppable might burst out of his body. The traits inherent in the Otsutsuki clan began to slowly manifest on his body.
Silence instantly fell in the hall. All eyes were on Otsutsuki Isshiki.
—Now fight me." If you can defeat me, it will prove that my prophecy is nothing more than the ravings of a madman! Otsutsuki Isshiki said indifferently, looking at the ninja.
Almost all living beings have one thing in common: the strong are always right. Even the incoherent ramblings of a strong person will be analyzed by the weak in search of a hidden meaning that can shake their soul.
Even the cough of the strong will be perceived by the weak as something with deep implications.
Moreover, some will even idolize those bestial strong who treat the weak like slaves, and all just because they are strong!
boom!
The battle broke out instantly. However, in front of Otsutsuki Isshiki, in his current state, these ninjas had no chance of resisting.
