Chapter 227 - The space-time gap and the horror

Senjutsu, like ninjutsu, has become public knowledge in the Shinobi world. Even after moving to this world, Ootsutsuki Isshiki still held the post of Permanent Chairman of the United Nations Council, and the old concept of education was not abandoned.

The Ninja Academy now accepted anyone who wanted to, anyone could study ninjutsu there. And those who showed excellent results got access to a wide variety of techniques.

In the old days, such a move would certainly have thrown the Shinobi world into chaos, but the era has changed.

Ninjutsu, like senjutsu, is outdated in a sense.

No, it's not that they've completely fallen out of use—it's just that they're now dominated by a much more powerful force.

Hashirama's three Senju in their prime, located in Konoha; an electromagnetic Lightning cannon developed in the Village of Hidden Cloud and improved for greater accuracy, range, power and rate of fire; a super puppet from the Village of Hidden Sand; as well as Jigen, standing at the top of the Shinobi world with his mysterious Kekkei Genkai, which allows you to see the future; and finally A perfect Demonic Mechanism capable of destroying an entire planet.

Any one of these forces could overwhelm the vast majority of the ninja.

Rebel? No one would dare.

"It looks like Ootsutsuki Isshiki is really scared to death by Uchiha Yue,— Uchiha Izumi thought.

Under the threat of Sharingan, Ootsutsuki Isshiki will never dare to encroach on the Shinobi world.

The plot was destroyed to the ground. Izumi originally planned to use his knowledge of the canon to gain an advantage, gain the power of the Divine Tree and eternal life.

Now that path has been cut off.

Was he destined to live a gray, unremarkable life in this world and wait for old age and death?

I wonder if the time rollback will work if he dies of old age?

It has been almost a year since their relocation. The first parallel world was completely evacuated, but it was not safe here either. This world was too close to the first, and the most terrifying, chilling and sleep—deprived thing was that Uchiha Yue was alive!

Uchiha Yue has already been born in this world. He was alive, and if they hadn't arrived that night, this world would have been destroyed.

They didn't dare to stay here anymore.

Living side by side with a nuclear bomb is one thing if it never explodes. But it's completely different when you're warned that it might explode, even though it's unlikely. Who would dare to stay in such a place?

Attack Uchiha Yue?

Such a thought had never occurred to them. Even if Uchiha Yue was just a baby in this world, they didn't have the guts. They were terrified. There was no turning back now. The immortal, endlessly evolving monster was too much for them.

The search for a new world has reached a dead end.

In all this time, they have not been able to find a new world.

After collecting and analyzing the data obtained upon entering this world, after countless adjustments, they actually developed a method for searching for parallel worlds using a Shot Glass. However, this method had a flaw.

He did not guarantee one hundred percent success.

If we imagine laying a water pipeline, then the main world and the first parallel world were connected in a natural way — the pipe was already laid, and it was only necessary to take a step to pass. But they didn't know how to build a second pipe from scratch.

The data about entering the third world told them how to do it.

However, in fact, they were blind. Their method was like taking a pipe and randomly poking it into a wall in the hope of getting into a water source and laying a fourth pipeline.

If they hadn't been lucky, everything would have stayed the way it is now—no matter how hard they tried, nothing would have worked.

They thought that connecting with the third world would be the beginning of a wonderful future, but it seems they were wrong!

— Still haven't found a new world? The shadow clone of Ootsutsuki Isshiki asked, approaching Senju Tobirama at Ryumyaku.

"No, Mr. Jigen. There's no need to rush things like this," Tobirama shook his head. He was also desperate and wanted to leave this world. If it would help him stay away from Uchiha Yue, he would do anything.

But desires alone were not enough.

"Then…

At the very moment when Ootsutsuki Isshiki wanted to say something, the space nearby suddenly began to distort.

The first parallel world.

Loulan... was torn apart!

A monstrous crack opened in the sky above the city. Giant fingers clutched at its dark edges and tore it apart with insane force. A terrifying might burst out, swirling in a vortex. The slightest particle of this force was enough for the planet to shake from an earthquake capable of splitting tectonic plates. Darkness gushed out of the spatial rift like ink, engulfing and desecrating everything around.

The crack was widening, tearing at the fabric of reality. Light, kinetic and potential energy, gravity, and the forces binding atoms were all consumed by darkness. Having torn apart the space, Uchiha Yue was about to let him go.

But it was at this moment…

—Oh, that's interesting. There are traces of another space-time here!

Uchiha Yue noticed the connection between the first and second parallel worlds and, without the slightest hesitation, tore space apart again.

But this time, not in the first world, but mainly relying on his perception and memory of spatial fluctuations, he followed the ripples of time and tore apart reality.

— It's bad!!! He's here, he's here!!!

— It's impossible!!! How is this possible?! How could he get into our world?!

"No, I'm not."… Run away!!! Run fast!!!

The scientists looked at the distorting, tearing space, at the deep darkness oozing out of it. There was no shadow of doubt, no glimmer of hope—they understood. Uchiha Yue— their greatest nightmare, their worst disaster—has arrived.

I came to their world!

But how?! This couldn't be happening!

They were separated by a whole world! Even if Uchiha Yue had used a Shot Glass to enter the first parallel world, there was no way he could have ended up in the second!

It's incomprehensible!

But that was the reality. As difficult as it may be to understand, it has already happened. And no matter how improbable it might seem, they had only one thing to do — accept.

"Run!"!! Everyone run!!! The shadow clone of Ootsutsuki Isshiki roared.

He took off, turning into a blur, and, grabbing the stunned scientists, numb with horror and despair, hurled them into a teleportation array.

Being absorbed by Uchiha Yue meant complete and utter disappearance. Even Edo Tensei couldn't bring them back.

Ootsutsuki Isshiki couldn't afford to lose these researchers. He needed them to find other parallel worlds!
