"Unbelievable, it's just a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan eyes, but they can absorb my power!"
"It's okay, though. Such losses are nothing, there's nothing to worry about!
In the surface layers of the Region of Dead Silence, Ootsutsuki Toneri was rapidly flying. He could feel his strength continuously draining away, but since these were just the outer limits, the losses remained negligible. He was just surprised, not paying much attention to it.
The absorbed power was a drop in the ocean for him.
In his heart, there was some interest in Uchiha Yue, a being who almost destroyed the entire Shinobi world.
However, nothing more than an interest. Toneri was confident that as soon as he went inside and found Uchiha Yue, he would be able to easily kill him, wipe him off the face of the earth.
He didn't doubt it for a moment.
However, when he finally plunged into the lightless zone, he realized that something was wrong. He lost all sense of direction, and his strength began to drain away at breakneck speed, as if from an open faucet.
But that wasn't all. The heat was rapidly leaving his body, his brain began to work more slowly, and his thoughts became viscous, straightforward.
In the next instant, his body, like a goose feather, fell from a height to the ground.
— How is this possible… My power… What's going on with my power?
A look of genuine horror crossed his face. At that moment, he finally woke up. He felt weaker than ever. The power with which he could once easily split a mountain or even a planet now seemed to have evaporated without a trace. He returned to the helpless state of his childhood.
He couldn't see anything... no, his vision was just blurred. Tenseigan, unlike Mangekyo Sharingan, did not carry the risk of blindness, no matter how it was used. But now, the power in his eyes was fading, swallowed up by the darkness.
What was his act like?
It was like a primitive man, boasting of his strength unsurpassed in the tribe, jumping into a vat of sulfuric acid. He was looking for death himself.
Uchiha Obito was able to reach Yue only thanks to the Divine Tree. Ootsutsuki Isshiki appeared before him for the first time when Yue had not yet gained all his power, and for the second time — controlling a giant combat robot.
Even Nagato used technology to meet Yue.
What about him, Toneri?
He had nothing but a pair of Tenseigan's eyes, with which he burst in here. Even Ootsutsuki Isshiki wouldn't have dared to do such a thing later!
"No... no, I have to run...I have to get out of here."…
Ootsutsuki Toneri's face finally contorted with fear. At that moment, he realized the full horror of Uchiha Yue. He fully understood why those sinners from the Shinobi world were fleeing. He didn't even see Yue's face, and he had already fallen halfway.
In fact, he should have realized everything even earlier, on the way to the heart of absolute darkness. But by that time, his mind was already under an energy-absorbing influence. The brain refused to work, and the thought that came a second ago was processed with a two-second delay.
It was like a man who had just woken up in the early morning and was still not thinking straight, staggered to the window, muttered that he was an idiot, and realized what he had said only when it was too late.
Run away! Run away from here!
He regretted it. You shouldn't have come in here!
Ootsutsuki Toneri was crawling on the icy ground. The bone—chilling cold held him down, his consciousness clouded to the limit, leaving only one thought - to escape.
But it was too late. Moreover, in this dark, silent hell, where it was impossible to distinguish directions, he did not even realize that he was crawling not outward, but deeper into the Region of Dead Silence.
Once upon a time, Sarutobi Hiruzen and his men, entering here, carefully calculated every step, every action, so as not to lose their way in this darkness. Every step they took was measured.
And what about him?
He just rushed in here without thinking about anything. He was doomed.
"It's hot… How hot it is…
At some point, Ootsutsuki Toneri felt an unbearable heat. He curled up into a ball, tearing at his clothes.
In the end, nothing has changed in the Area of Dead Silence. Uchiha Yue did not even find out about the existence of Ootsutsuki Toneri.
Only in the depths of the dark abyss did another frozen, icy body appear.
He recklessly appeared in the world of Shinobi, dreaming of unfolding his great plans, but in the end he died quietly and ingloriously in this darkness.
Perhaps it was for the best. After all, if Ootsutsuki Toneri had fully realized Uchiha Yue's horror, he would only have been in endless despair. He could only sit with Hinata on the moon and wait for death.
Escape? And where to run to? The Dragon Pulse had already been swallowed by the darkness and had most likely disappeared. Even if he risked reaching his location, it would be useless.
Fly to another planet?
Did he think that habitable planets were scattered all over the universe?
The moon in the Shinobi world is not a real planet, but an artificial structure. It was possible to live there only thanks to the technology of the chakra.
But there were only two of them—Ootsutsuki Toneri and Hinata. How would they escape?
Even if there was another habitable planet in the universe, would they be able to reach it?
Most likely, they would have died after several days of wandering in space.
Hunger, lack of oxygen, cosmic radiation — those who do not even have a spaceship cannot cope with all this. After all, the Ootsutsuki clan had their own home planet to return to in case of trouble. What about them? Their home planet has already been eaten.
The war in the Shinobi world ended before it even started.
Of course, it didn't matter, because the inhabitants of the Shinobi world still didn't know about the coming Second Great War.
The real problem was that the other world had been destroyed. And the reason for everything was the stupid actions of Shimura Danzo and others like him, which led to the massacre of the Uchiha clan and disturbed the sleeping Uchiha deity Yue. As a result, a supreme being appeared, surpassing all imagination, immortal and indestructible. He couldn't be killed, he couldn't be defeated. All that remained was to run!
This was Uchiha Yue, a being who surpassed even the mythical Sage of the Six Paths.
After all, the Sage of the Six Paths was only a legend, he did not destroy the world, and no one saw him now. But Uchiha Yue was real and had already destroyed one world.
Konoha in the parallel world hadn't been destroyed yet, and even Senju Tobirama was still alive.
