For the weak, any action of the strong, even the most insignificant, is something they have to puzzle over.
***
Some time later, Ootsutsuki Isshiki left Konoha. He roughly understood what was going on in the village and why Sarutobi Hiruzen had turned into what he was now. Unlike the residents of Konoha, Isshiki saw the truth.
Ootsutsuki Isshiki guessed that Sarutobi Hiruzen was able to survive in the Area of Dead Silence, probably by absorbing the souls of Shimura Danzo and the others. It was the only way he could get out of there alive, even if he lost everything except his head.
The devouring of the souls of their own kind, as well as the incompleteness of their own souls, probably caused Sarutobi Hiruzen to have an unknown mutation, which eventually gave rise to this monster.
However, Ootsutsuki Isshiki didn't want to do it anymore.
Right now, he had only one thought: to find a vessel and a way to stop the effect of Uchiha Yue's eyes in order to destroy his soul.
Therefore, he immediately ordered Orochimaru to assemble all Konoha's research staff. He intended to unite all the scientists of the Shinobi world and direct their research in accordance with his ideas.
All this is for the sake of making the Child of the prophecy stronger!
The child from the prophecy must grow up, because only when she grows up will she be able to kill Uchiha Yue. And they didn't have much time left.
"Escape from the world? Seal up and wait for Uchiha Yue to die?"
In the new world, in the Village of Hidden Sand, Rasa was amazed to read the letter that appeared in front of him.
No wonder he was startled. In a situation where everyone could only hope that the Child from the prophecy would defeat Uchiha Yue, someone found a new way — not confrontation, but avoidance.
No one could be sure that the Child from the prophecy would be found. And no one could guarantee that when they found him, there would still be time to make him strong enough to defeat Uchiha Yue. They were betting, but it was the only option, and they had to take the risk.
The probability of failure was extremely high, and in case of failure, complete death and extinction awaited everyone. And yet they had no other way.
Even Ootsutsuki Isshiki himself could not know what condition the Child from the prophecy was in right now. Perhaps their savior had long since died in some dark corner.
But now a new path has opened up for them. Without even knowing if it was true or false, he was like the last straw to grab onto.
And, to be honest, the prospect of hiding like a rat seemed much more real than defeating Uchiha Yue.
"Perhaps..."
"It might be worth checking out!"
In the Hidden Stone Village, Oonoki pondered while looking at the message he received. He was intrigued.
At the same time, Orochimaru also received news from Akatsuki.
Soon, the Kages of the four great Shinobi villages, with the exception of Hidden Cloud, gathered at the border of the Rain Country.
"You too..." one of them began.
— Yes, that's right. All for the sake of survival! The other replied.
— I want to see for myself whether this is true or not! — concluded the third.
Several Kage began to exchange opinions. Besides the Kazekage and the Tsuchikage, the representatives of the other two villages were traitors: Mizukage had long been under the control of Uchiha Obito, and Orochimaru was a member of Akatsuki.
The only thing that surprised them was why no one from Hidden Cloud Village had come.
It was natural. Hidden Cloud Village was very close to Ootsutsuki Isshiki right now, and Nagato and the others didn't want Jigen to be involved in their plan. Such a strong player was too unpredictable. After all, Nagato's true goal is to gather all the Tailed Beasts and, after Uchiha Yue's death, become the god of a new world.
If the world is saved and they can defeat the Child of Prophecy with their ultimate weapon, they will come out of the shadows. If they lose, they will seal themselves in Kamui's dimension and wait for the Child from the prophecy to die of old age.
If the Child from the prophecy does not exist or fails, they will still be able to fulfill their original plan.
In any case, they had nothing to lose. But there was one condition for this: Jigen was not supposed to know about their existence. If such a powerful person were to enter Kamui's dimension, the uncertainty would become too high.
In corners invisible to them, a group of White Zetsu conducted continuous surveillance. After making sure that no one was following Kage, several figures appeared in front of the crowd.
— Greetings, gentlemen!
— Mangekye Sharingan!!!
They weren't the least bit interested in Rinnegan's presence. All their eyes were fixed on Uchiha Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan. And Rinnegan? What is it? Something that Mr. Jigen had trampled into the ground with a single kick. How could he be stronger than a Mangekyo Sharingan?
How could a pitiful Rinnegan compare to the invincible Mangekyo Sharingan?
Although not all Mangekyo Sharingans were the same as Uchiha Yue's, but it was still a Sharingan!
After all, they once offered a way to resist Izanagi, but it was impossible due to the lack of Sharingan. And now…
The views of Oonoka and Rasa, directed at Uchiha Obito, instantly changed. There was greed in them. If they could get this eye, perhaps they could use it to finally defeat Uchiha Yue?
"That look... damn!"
Uchiha Obito, seeing the way the two of them were looking at him, immediately understood everything. Damn it, these idiots are going to use his eye to deal with Uchiha Yue. They're going to kill his mother, not him!
— Hmm! And don't think about it," Nagato stepped forward at that moment, looking at them as if they were complete fools. "This Sharingan is the key to our salvation, not some kind of expendable item to fight Uchiha Yue!" Who gave you the confidence that with just Sharingan and Izanami you could kill him? Uchiha Yue cannot be defeated. Even the so-called Child of the prophecy would not be able to defeat him. He is a monster who surpassed the gods! In this world, only Sharingan can defeat Sharingan!
A powerful pressure descended on Rasa and Onoki. Yes, Nagato was almost crippled right now, but if he couldn't defeat Ootsutsuki Isshiki, then wouldn't he be able to handle the other ninjas?
Feeling Nagato's power, both Kages instantly came to their senses.
— What you say about hiding from the world… is that true? Orochimaru took a step forward, as if completely unaware of Nagato and the others.
"Of course it's true!
All living things are mortal. If Uchiha Yue can't be killed by force, then surely time can!
Hide. Like turtles.
