As soon as they turned to leave this world, the words they heard made everyone freeze in place.
Ootsutsuki Isshiki reached out and grabbed the ninja by the throat, excitedly asking:
"What did you say?" Say it again! Don't you know about Uchiha?
Information spread quickly in the Shinobi world, especially when it came to important events. In their home world, many people knew about the destruction of the Uchiha clan and the appearance of Uchiha Yue. After all, defeating an entire village alone was something only someone who could match the legendary Shinobi god could do.
And this ninja looked at them as if he didn't understand anything, and even the death of the Uchiha clan didn't seem to matter to him at all.
Really…
—Wh-repeat what?"
"What kind of Uchiha?" What the hell are you talking about?
— Is there no Uchiha Yue? Are you saying that after the massacre, a man named Uchiha Yue did not appear in the Uchiha clan?
Is Konoha really okay now? Senju Hashirama asked anxiously as he stepped forward.
His question was the same as everyone else's, but the ninja only shook his head in response.
Everyone looked at each other.
"There's something wrong with this world."… The Uchiha clan was destroyed, but Uchiha Yue did not appear? It doesn't make any sense!
Ootsutsuki Isshiki released the ninja from Sunagakure and thought deeply.
"Mr. Jigen, maybe he really doesn't know anything. There will always be those who receive news late.
"Let's go to Konoha,— suggested Senju Tobirama. — Let's see what's really going on there and whether Uchiha Yue really hasn't appeared. At this moment, he shouldn't pose any danger yet!
Soon, led by Ootsutsuki Isshiki, they used the portal and moved to Konoha.
On the outskirts of the village, in the thick of the forest, the space distorted, and several figures came out of it. They silently looked at the peaceful and serene Konoha spread out in the distance.
Something was wrong. It's completely wrong with this world!
The essence of parallel worlds is that the events that took place in one of them will certainly repeat in the other. They say there are no two identical leaves in the world, but with the advent of parallel universes, this statement loses its validity.
The awakening of Uchiha Yue's Sharingan was an accident, a twist of fate, a coincidence that should not have happened. However, from the point of view of parallel worlds, the awakening of his Mangekyo Sharingan was inevitable.
Logically, after the night of the clan's extermination, Uchiha Yue's birth was a foregone conclusion. He was supposed to show up.
And now what?
It die.
Uchiha Yue died that night, no different from the other members of his clan. He just died quietly without making a sound.
—Uchiha Yue is... dead?" How is this possible?
"It's unbelievable, how could he have died?" Such a monster…
The group infiltrated Konoha. Thanks to the help of Senju Tobirama and the others, their appearance went unnoticed. They reached the Uchiha clan quarter—it was empty, not a single soul.
Looking up at the sky, they saw a clear day, not a cloud, not a shadow.
This world was too normal.
— Maybe the awakening of the Mangekyo Sharingan in Uchiha is not predetermined?
— Uchiha Yue from that parallel world... was special! Izumi Uchiha suggested, stepping forward.
It seemed like a reasonable guess, but the worlds they had visited were too few.
Uchiha Yue has not yet been born in the first parallel world. In the second, Uchiha Itachi was killed before he could start a massacre.
It was only in this third parallel world that Itachi successfully destroyed his clan.
They did not have enough data for comparison to understand whether Uchiha Yue's appearance was an accident or an inevitability.
Only Izumi knew that Uchiha Yue from other worlds would not have awakened such a Mangekyo Sharingan.
Although they all looked like Uchiha Yue, it was only a superficial resemblance. The difference between them was greater than that between a human and a dog.
Izumi's words made everyone lose themselves in thought.
Finally, Ootsutsuki Isshiki broke the silence.:
"Anyway, Uchiha Yue's absence from this world is good news!
"Perhaps our escape has finally come to an end. This is the third world. Surely he can't be following us here?
At that moment, Ootsutsuki Isshiki's heart was filled with joy. At that time, there was another destiny's child, and together with the vessel from the second parallel world, they had one for each. They could resurrect and flee immediately.
In the second world, they had already prepared everything for the transformation of the destiny's child.
All that remained was to drag the child of fate from this world to there, carry out the transformation, complete the process, resurrect and leave this planet. And as for their versions of this world... they'll have to figure it out for themselves.
In fact, by this point, due to the continuous development of technology in the Shinobi world, their power had already become somewhat outdated. If their local versions had decided to do something after their escape, they would most likely have just been killed.
— No, Mr. Jigen, that's not enough! We can't escape! Just three worlds is too little. We need to keep running, as far as possible!
— Uchiha Yue is coming for us!
Uchiha Izumi shook her head heavily. She didn't know how Yue managed to project his power into other parallel worlds, but if he could penetrate two, he could also enter three.
Ootsutsuki Isshiki's words could fool other ninjas, but not her. She understood that Isshiki no longer cared if Uchiha Yue showed up. They found their children of destiny and only wanted to escape, leaving the Shinobi world to its fate.
If Uchiha Yue was able to enter the first and second parallel worlds, what will prevent him from entering the third?
"Uchiha Yue's power is too terrifying. The absorption of one planet may not be the limit for him. If left unchecked, he could destroy the entire universe!
— Destroy the universe…
Ootsutsuki Isshiki fell silent. Yes, destroy the entire universe.
No, even if he couldn't destroy the universe, but only spread his power to the limits capable of covering the lands of their Ootsutsuki clan, it would already be a disaster.
Escape?
Even if they were resurrected, where would they run to?
And then…
