It was a man, not a blind element. He could think, he could move. Who would dare to take the risk and believe that Uchiha Yue, having absorbed the Dragon Vein, would not be interested in another world?
No one would dare.
Even if there was at least one percent chance that Uchiha Yue had preserved the Dragon Vein and was now trying to enter their world or plotting something else, it would be unacceptable, even fatal, for them. Uchiha Yue should come here, and they would all be finished.
To what extent could that Area of Dead Silence have grown during this time?
Perhaps the entire Shinobi world has already been consumed by him. If such a living embodiment of disaster came here, he wouldn't even have to do anything—his mere presence would be enough to bring them down.
Senju Tobirama felt a chill at the thought. It was as if he saw a dead, dark, lifeless planet, where all living beings, like statues, froze in eternal darkness and cold, doomed to wait for the end of Uchiha Yue himself.
— Well, it's a mess! A voice hissed from a dark corner.
The two Black Zetsu had also heard Senju Tobirama's suggestion.
They arrived here a long time ago. At first, they sent ordinary people through the portal to check if the Dragon Vein of this world could be used after its counterpart in the main world disappeared.
The result was positive — it is possible.
But none of those who were sent did not return.
At first, they didn't think much of it, deciding that due to the destruction of the Dragon Vein in the main world, space-time transitions had become unstable. Time travel was still possible, but due to the lack of an exit point, the target became random, and people were probably just thrown into some spatial crack.
Since the Dragon Vein was working, it was necessary to continue experimenting. Sooner or later, they would have found a way to use it to infiltrate parallel worlds. They had plenty of time.
However, before they could really study anything, Senju Tobirama and the others came here and also began to explore the Dragon Vein.
Well, so be it. Apparently, these Shinobi also wanted to enter a parallel world, and their goals coincided. Perhaps, with the help of their minds, they could find the right way.
All that remained was to find a safe parallel world where the plan to resurrect Mother could be continued.
And then... and then what happened happened.
Those test subjects they sent through the Dragon Vein probably didn't end up in a spatial crack, but in that same main world consumed by darkness. It's not that they didn't want to return, they just died there.
"It's bad,— Black Zetsu from the main world said with horror on his face. — It's really bad. If Uchiha Yue really gets to our world, it's all over!
The day when his mother was dragged into the darkness came back to his mind. What despair it was!
"And now what?" — his doppelganger moaned. Uchiha Madara has not awakened Rinnegan, a lot of strong enemies from the future have appeared in the Shinobi world, and this Jigen... now the path through the Dragon Vein is cut off. Mother, why... why did everything turn out this way?
Hiding in the shadows, the local Black Zetsu collapsed to his knees, covering his face with his hands. He was suffocated by grief and hopelessness. He didn't understand. Until recently, everything was going well, developing in the right direction. He waited for a thousand years, and finally Uchiha Madara appeared — the perfect candidate who inherited the power of the Six Paths and was fooled by him with the help of a tweaked stone slab.
It seemed that all you had to do was wait a little while for Madara to awaken Rinnegan, and you could start acting, putting into practice the plan to resurrect your mother. Everything was going like clockwork, but how did it happen that the situation suddenly changed dramatically and turned into this nightmare?
He didn't understand!
Looking at his doppelganger, Black Zetsu from the main world was silent. He didn't understand it himself. He didn't know what to do. The way back is cut off, there is a dead end ahead. Wherever you look, it's certain death.
Heaven did not accept, the earth did not allow. The world seemed vast, but it was as if they were trapped in a cage from which there was no way out.
— What do you mean, Uchiha Yue can enter our world?!
In his new residence, Ootsutsuki Isshiki looked dumbfounded at the two Senju Tobirama, involuntarily raising his voice.
It seemed to him that he had misheard.
Did they really say "Uchiha Yue can enter our world" and not something else? For example: "Have we found a way to defeat Uchiha Yue"?
Not this dog's "Uchiha Yue can get into our world"!
Are they trying to scare him?
— Mr. Jigen, it's exactly as we say. The dragon vein in our world probably hasn't disappeared anywhere, and Uchiha Yue may already be trying to use it to get in here!
—B-but... how is that possible?" If he wanted to, wouldn't he have already moved here with the help of the Dragon Vein?
— Perhaps the Dragon Vein has a limit, and it is not able to withstand a monster that has swallowed an entire planet.
"Then we have nothing to fear, do we?" He can't get in here!
— Yes, he probably won't be able to now. But that's just now. Just because he can't get here now doesn't mean he won't be able to in the future. After all, this is Uchiha Yue. The living embodiment of disaster.
"Besides, we don't have any evidence that the Dragon Vein isn't capable of carrying it. All this is just our guesses!
A chilling horror gripped Ootsutsuki Isshiki. For the first time in many years, he felt fear, a real animal horror. Everything Senju Tobirama was talking about was like a nightmare: an ordinary person, left alone at home, suddenly hears a noise outside the door, and when he comes up, he sees a huge black bear trying to break it down.
And Uchiha Yue was that bear!
Once he enters this world, they will all die.
Recently, Ootsutsuki Isshiki has studied in detail everything that was known about this monster named Uchiha Yue. After reviewing all the materials, he could only think of one thing: it was unthinkable, incomprehensible. Boundless energy absorption, endless growth, true immortality… And wow, did a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan eyes give him all this? That the basis of this is just a tiny drop of the Divine Tree's blood, so diluted that it's almost gone?
Such an incredible creature... and it turns out to come from the depths of space?
