Like turtles, they pulled their heads into their shells. Close your eyes and wait. Waiting for the power of time, waiting for the miracle that will kill Uchiha Yue. And then the north will become their era.
There was nothing shameful about it. They were just repeating what their ancestors had done millions of years ago. Like rats hiding in the shadows, they waited for the fated meteorite to destroy the huge reptiles, destroying life. Then the time will come for the elevation of their human progenitors.
Uchiha Yue stopped being human. He only looked like a human, but in reality he was a natural disaster. A living natural disaster. No, rather, he was the very reptile that forced the ancestors of mankind to evolve. Only the power of time, the power of nature itself, can destroy such a monster!
Soon, following Nagato and the others, led by Uchiha Obito, they entered Kamui's dimension.
It was a world isolated from the outside. However, time flowed the same way here. Uchiha Yue won't be able to absorb them here. And even if he eats the whole planet, what does it matter to them?
All they have to do is hide here and wait. Wait for Uchiha Yue to die!
Only Sharingan is able to resist Sharingan!
However, this dimension was finite, not infinite. This meant that only a part of humanity could survive here.
Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu have already calculated this question for a long time. One hundred thousand. A maximum of one hundred thousand people will be able to survive in this space.
The new world could accommodate a limited number of people.
Moreover, these hundred thousand seats were calculated on the condition that everyone would immerse themselves in the sealing jutsu, turning into dry mummies in anticipation of a new era. If it weren't for this technology, they would have to stock up on a huge amount of resources in advance, strictly control the population, and even create a life support system that requires constant maintenance so that humanity can survive.
In this case, the number of people capable of entering the new era would be negligible — perhaps only a few thousand, about ten thousand people. And this is at best, but in fact it could have been even less.
After all, it's a closed ecosystem, and it's extremely difficult to keep a large number of people alive in it.
So what is this sealing technique?
They knew about fuinjutsu. Both Oonoki and Rasa knew about them. But they didn't know what kind of technique Uchiha Obito was talking about.
Eternal Freezing Sealing Technique!
It was an extremely unusual fuinjutsu. After its application, human vital signs decreased to almost zero. In this state, the body fell into an almost eternal hibernation: the heart stopped beating, the chest stopped breathing, and the blood stopped flowing.
It seemed like the man was dead, but he wasn't. He was still alive. The heart didn't stop, the breathing didn't stop—they just became incredibly slow. The heart beat only once in a very long time.
This allowed them to live an incredibly long life, long enough to reach the new world in an almost untouched state.
Moreover, this fuinjutsu had a timer function that allowed it to wake up at a pre-set time.
"In this world... is there such a technique?
— If there really is such a fuinjutsu, then this is the plan... It might actually work! Onoki and Rasa said in amazement.
— Not "it might work", but "it will certainly work"! Nagato looked at them.
Yes, it will definitely work!
They will definitely be able to survive under the threat of Uchiha Yue!
There was no doubt about it. It was their confidence!
However, there was a problem. This technique had its flaws!
Which ones? This fuinjutsu did not exist in the Shinobi world. They created it themselves. And at the moment, the technique has been completed by only eighty-eight percent.
Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu presented their research on the technique. After reviewing them, everyone came to the conclusion that it really can be used.
Creating such a fuinjutsu was incredibly difficult. It wasn't an attacking technique designed to kill or imprison, but a life-support technique that allowed one to move on.
It consumed extremely little energy, was very complex, and could perfectly maintain the stability of a living organism. According to Black Zetsu's calculations, this technique could keep a ninja in a "fresh" state for several hundred years, almost a thousand, without the risk of death.
This is exactly the time, because during this time the energy in the user's body was almost exhausted. Further sealing would lead to death, so awakening was required to replenish his strength.
After awakening and restoring his energy, as well as allowing his body to return to normal, he could apply the sealing again and wait for the next era to arrive.
It was completely different from ordinary fuinjutsu. If you seal a person with a conventional technique and he loses consciousness, then without energy supply, he will simply die.
The Eternal Freezing Sealing Technique should rather not be called fuinjutsu, but an incredibly complex and powerful life support system.
One could even say that this is a time travel technology that allows a person from the past to overcome the millennial barrier and find himself in the future.
Such a wonderful and powerful technique, of course, could not do without the support and help of the savages of the Land of Fire. It is worth noting that for the sake of her research, Black Zetsu temporarily abandoned all his plans and devoted himself entirely to this case.
Hundreds were spent... No, thousands, almost ten thousand test subjects to bring this thing to its current state, and it still hasn't been completed.
It was only now, when the aristocrats didn't care, and the ninjas didn't, when everyone was on their own and human rights were worthless, that it became possible. In the old days, such a mass disappearance of people would have attracted Konoha's attention long ago.
After listening to the plan of Uchiha Obito and the others, Oonoki and Rasa put aside their petty intrigues and took it seriously.
This path was not a figment of a sick imagination — it was quite real!
As mentioned earlier, no one, not even Jigen himself, ever gave them guarantees that the Child of Prophecy would certainly be found. It's always good to have a backup route. If the Child of Prophecy is found and defeats Uchiha Yue, that's what they've been waiting for. But if not, at least they won't just have to sit and wait for death.
"The plan is good, but why not notify Hidden Cloud Village? Why not inform Mr. Jigen? Onoki asked doubtfully, nodding.
"Of course, so that this unforeseen creature doesn't ruin our plans! After all, Jigen is too strong. He's capable of killing the current Nagato with a single kick..."
