The times are not the same anymore. The Ootsutsuki brothers are long dead. As long as Uchiha Yue is not in the parallel world, as long as the night of the clan's destruction has not yet arrived, as long as everything can be prevented in advance, then the appearance of Uchiha Yue will be avoided. And then…
— A parallel world? The other me, are you out of your mind? Wasn't that parallel world already destroyed by Uchiha Yue? I'm afraid even the Dragon Veins of that world are consumed by him. Isn't going there suicide?
— No, I'm not talking about that parallel world, but about others!
Soon, the two Black Zetsu developed a new plan.
Lately, Ootsutsuki Isshiki has been in utter confusion. What does "Mr. Jigen is a prophet and savior" mean? What does "destiny's child failed" mean?
What does "parallel world was destroyed by Uchiha Yue" even mean?
No, wait... how do these lower beings even know about my existence?
After catching and interrogating several of these creatures, Isshiki found out about what had happened. His expression became indescribable, as if he had swallowed something disgusting.
What does it mean "Mr. Jigen is a savior who sacrificed his life so that the child of fate would gain strength"?
Wasn't he supposed to destroy this world?
How did it happen that he, the supposed destroyer, suddenly turned into a savior? And also a savior whose mission has failed.
What kind of destiny's child? It's just my vessel.
What kind of "sacrificed his life so that the child of fate would gain strength"? It was just a resurrection in someone else's body!
Ootsutsuki Isshiki knew about the existence of parallel worlds. Moreover, when he arrived in the Shinobi world, he had an artifact of the Ootsutsuki clan, a Soha that could cross time. Of course, it wasn't real time travel, that's impossible.
At least in Isshiki's mind. If you make a mistake in the past that will change the future, and the future self, having obtained a time travel device, will return and correct it.…
It sounds great.
But here's the question.
Once the future self has corrected the mistake of the past, then the changed future will not exist, which means there will be no one to return to the past.
And if no one comes back, then the mistake will inevitably happen again in the past. But this mistake has already been fixed by the future.
If it didn't happen, then what changed the future self? And if it has happened, then it is equivalent to the fact that nothing has changed, and that future would not exist. And if it wasn't there, how could something non-existent fix the mistake?
Because of Kaguya's betrayal, that artifact was lost somewhere on this planet, and even Isshiki himself did not know where it was now.
However, it didn't matter. The future was important.
The really important thing was that if it wasn't for the appearance of a parallel world, then the future of their world would have become the same. Someone named Uchiha Yue will appear and destroy everything.
And he, Ootsutsuki Isshiki, would die at the hands of a local savage.
"There was such power hidden in the blood of the Uchiha clan, in the legacy of the Divine Tree… Impossible!"
Ootsutsuki Isshiki was lost in thought. Previously, he was not particularly interested in the Uchiha clan, but now, having learned that in the future a parallel world was destroyed by a certain Uchiha Yue with the help of a pair of Mangekyo Sharingans, he decided to explore this issue.
This was the power of the Divine Tree!
The Uchiha clan inherited a part of the power of the Divine Tree from Kaguya's son. Indeed, only a fraction. However, this particle was able to destroy the world and even the Divine Tree itself.
Is this... is this even right?
Probably not!
Even the Divine Tree itself did not have such an ability—to grow continuously, absorbing all kinds of energy, to be immortal and indestructible. It could only absorb the vital energy of the planet, bear the fruit of the chakra, grant its jinchuuriki great power, the evolution of blood, eternal life and immortality based on the Tree itself.
The Divine Tree could have died, but Uchiha Yue could not. This monster, the carrier of a particle of his blood, could not!
Incomprehensible, absolutely incomprehensible!
Especially considering that in that future parallel world, he, Ootsutsuki Isshiki, was resurrected with the help of the so-called destiny's child. And even with such power, he couldn't kill Uchiha Yue. He couldn't believe it, but that was the reality.
— Mr. Jigen, we finally found you!
At that moment, several Shinobi appeared in front of Ootsutsuki Isshiki. If he hadn't known about the current state of affairs, they would have been beheaded the moment they said his current name.
However, they were not able to find him without his tacit consent. He's been here for a few days now. Resurrecting his counterpart from a parallel world made him realize that these savages could be quite useful for his own resurrection. Perhaps he could openly use their power to search for the "destiny's child"... ha, destiny's child!
— You came.
The deathly darkness spread and spread relentlessly. The light was getting less and less, the sky was getting darker, and the world was getting colder. Most of the Shinobi world was already shrouded in bottomless darkness, and this boundless darkness was rapidly engulfing the remaining half of the planet.
It was a Shinobi world from a parallel universe, or rather, the main world where Uchiha Yue lived.
Now there are no intelligent beings left on this planet. The darkness swallowed everything. The only life lingered in the oceans of the last surviving half of the world, but it was also rapidly fading: temperatures were falling, sunlight was disappearing, tectonic plates were moving, and the core of the planet was cooling.
The planetary plates were shaking in unprecedented fury. The terrifying roar of their collisions did not stop. Earthquakes and crustal fractures tore at the planet, as if trying to split it in two.
The part of the world that was shrouded in darkness—the silent, icy, lightless half of the planet—was gradually slowing down its rotation in space. And axial... and orbital. All the energy generated by the movement of the planet was continuously absorbed by Uchiha Yue.
Since one half of the ball almost stopped, and the other half continued to rotate, the latter began to put pressure on the first, trying to force it to move. A monstrous force, like a universal tsunami, struck the border of the dark hemisphere.
But most of this power was absorbed by Uchiha Yue and turned into his own…
