The Land of Demons, the night sky as black as ink, heavy with dark clouds...
Countless indescribable dark energies were constantly surging.
Obito is theoretically the strongest being in the current ninja world.
He possesses two perfectly powerful Mangekyou Sharingan.
However, the Uchiha Abyss chakra that he split off from was only a part of the chakra consciousness.
But because Obito transplanted his Sharingan...
This has led to the current abyss.
They also possess the same authority as Obito's original self, and can mobilize the same chakra.
This is why Obito was so eager to eliminate Uchiha Abyss.
Because he's like a virus, parasitic on everyone.
Therefore, Uchiha Gen was not simply a chakra clone...
He is someone who has the authority to access the power within Obito's body.
Holding a wooden sword, Uchiha Yuan moved slowly and calmly, step by step approaching Obito, who had fallen to the ground and was covered in wounds.
With a playful smile on his face, although he was blind, the powerful aura he exuded was enough to make anyone feel suffocated in his presence.
"I deliberately chose the Land of Demons..."
"Let me guess, what exactly are you planning to do..."
Uchiha Gen's voice echoed across the vast, dark wasteland, carrying a chilling calm and composure.
Fresh blood slowly dripped from his wound, staining the withered grass and gravel beneath his feet.
Obito's mask was already shattered, revealing a twisted and crazed face, but a long-lost clarity and rationality appeared in his eyes.
He stared at Uchiha Gen before him: "Uchiha Gen, there's always been a question in my mind that's never gone away..."
"Before the Night of the Nine-Tailed Fox, almost everyone had an extremely vague impression of your existence..."
Obito continued in a low voice:
"Whether in the ninja academy or in daily life in the clan, the name Uchiha Gen is just a vague concept; no one really has a specific memory or impression of you."
"It wasn't until the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox that people suddenly became clearly aware of your existence."
"You were defined as an Uchiha clan member who couldn't awaken his Sharingan, seemingly appearing in everyone's memories overnight."
It has become a fait accompli.
Obito paused, then struggled to stand upright, ignoring the excruciating pain spreading from his wounds, and demanded, "Tell me, Uchiha Gen, where exactly do you come from?"
Despite Obito's direct and pointed question, Uchiha Gen's expression remained calm and composed.
He spoke softly, his tone as gentle as a night breeze: "The darkness in people's hearts."
Obito roared, "Whose heart?! I'll answer: It's Uchiha Shisui!"
"You are the deepest, darkest side of Shisui's heart! You were never a real person from the beginning, but an illusory existence that sprang from the cracks in Shisui's heart!"
Obito's voice echoed across the empty Land of Demons, carrying an uncontrollable frenzy and rage.
"You completely broke free on the night of the Nine-Tails, using chaos and tragedy to fully materialize yourself, changing the entire timeline, forcibly separating yourself from Shisui, and creating the name Uchiha Awakening!"
At this point, Obito slowly took out a crystal ball from his pocket.
The crystal ball emitted a faint, cold light, as if it could devour the moonlight.
"Limited monthly reading..."
"On the night of the annihilation, after you completely devoured Shisui, you began your plan... a plan to completely transform yourself from an illusory state into a fully physical entity."
Uchiha Gen's expression finally showed a subtle change.
"From the very beginning, your existence was an illusion!"
"You never truly existed in the real world until the night of the Uchiha massacre, when you finally found a chance to stabilize yourself!"
Obito continued to roar!
"You and Shisui are essentially two sides of the same soul split off!"
"On the night of the Nine-Tails, the reason why no one could clearly distinguish between the two Shisuis was because you were one!"
The relationship between Uchiha Abe and Uchiha Shisui was similar to that between Uzumaki Naruto and Uzumaki Menma. Uchiha Abe remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "A very interesting deduction..."
"You... are the shadow that emerged from Shisui's heart."
"So, from the very beginning, everything you did—devouring Shisui, manipulating the ninja world, even infecting countless ninjas—was merely to solidify your presence in the real world!"
Uchiha Gen remained silent...:
"You, Uchiha Gen... descended into this world, took control of the situation, and created your own destiny."
Uchiha Gen sighed softly.
"But so what? There is no clear boundary between reality and illusion."
Obito gripped the limited-edition Tsukuyomi crystal ball tightly: "But now I have the ability to revert you to your original form. As long as I unleash Shisui's true soul, this false entity of yours will crumble once more!"
Speaking of Obito...
He channeled all the chakra within his body into the crystal ball and uttered in a low voice, "Limited Tsukuyomi!"
In an instant, the endless Yin attribute chakra energy in the sky surged in like a tidal wave and was frantically absorbed into the mysterious crystal ball.
The crystal ball rapidly enlarged, quickly constructing a strange, mirror-like world within it.
Through that mirrored world, on the opposite side where Uchiha Abe was located, another black-haired Uchiha clan ninja suddenly appeared!
The figure stood silently in the mirrored world, his eyes as deep as the night, exuding a powerful aura exactly like that of Uchiha Abyss.
"Uchiha Gen: Since you come from here, it means I can find Shisui using a similar method."
The Uchiha Shisui that Tobirama summoned using the Impure World Reincarnation technique was essentially just a part of Uchiha Awakening's chakra, not a truly complete soul.
The souls devoured by Uchiha Abyss should have completely dissipated long ago, making it impossible to find or awaken them again.
Through repeated attempts to recall events within the illusory world created by the Limited Tsukuyomi, Obito successfully gained inspiration and, relying on his instinctive sixth sense, perceived the true origin of Uchiha Abe.
Gradually, a feasible method was found...:
By utilizing the unique mirror world structure of the limited Tsukuyomi, the fragments of Shisui's soul that were once devoured within Uchiha Abyss are reintegrated, and then completely released.
In this way, the soul and chakra within Uchiha Abyss could be forcibly separated and dismantled, thereby breaking through his defenses one by one and ultimately seizing and controlling his power.
Obito's move was a decisive one...
Tobirama, Kakashi, and the others from Konoha investigated the information about Uchiha Abe for so long.
It's better for Obito to rely on his instincts and intuition to deduce things:
With the illumination of the mirror world and the continued impetus of the limited Tsukuyomi!
The entire space of the Demon Kingdom began to tremble violently, cracks appeared everywhere on the ground, and countless yin-attribute energies surged into the crystal ball like a black torrent, as if the entire space was about to be torn apart!
Accompanied by a low murmur that seemed to come from the distant void...:
A clear human figure slowly steps out of the mirrored world and truly stands in reality.
The figure was surrounded by surging chakra, and his eyes were incredibly bright, unlike Uchiha Abyss's eyes, which were already blind.
He possesses the limited-edition three-tomoe Sharingan.
That figure was none other than Uchiha Shisui.
The true soul of Shisui was reassembled and formed within the mirror world of the limited Tsukuyomi.
However, something unexpected happened to Obito:
Uchiha Shisui, who stepped out of the limited Tsukuyomi mirror world, was like a soulless shell, his eyes numb and empty, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Standing there, he was as mechanical and stiff as a puppet, his eyes filled with only a cold, mechanical gleam, devoid of any spirituality or wisdom.
What happened?
The summoned Shisui had no consciousness or thought; was it simply acting on instinct?
Just as he was wondering, this puppet-like Shisui suddenly moved with incredible speed, causing the air to tremble and countless fragments of stone to fly up from the ground. He rushed straight towards Uchiha Abyss with astonishing instinct!
Uchiha Gen showed no sign of panic.
His expression remained calm and serene. Holding the wooden sword in one hand, he gracefully turned his body and deftly dodged the opponent's fierce attack as Shisui attacked swiftly.
After the attack on Shisui missed, he did not stop for a moment.
He swiftly drew his short blade from his waist, the blade flashing out like lightning, directly slashing towards Uchiha Abyss's head!
The blade was extremely sharp, slicing through the air with a piercing sound.
Uchiha Yuan remained calm and composed, raising his wooden sword to meet the short blade precisely, the crisp sound of the collision reverberating through the surrounding air.
In an instant, the two figures moved like fleeting shadows, rapidly intersecting in mid-air as they launched fierce physical attacks, their fists, feet, and blades clashing repeatedly.
Sparks flew everywhere, and the space itself even trembled slightly.
Although Shisui lost consciousness, his fighting instincts remained undiminished.
His attack speed was extremely fast, and his short blade was swung with precision and sharpness. Every move was aimed precisely at Uchiha Yuan's vital points, and his killing intent was chilling.
Uchiha Gen, on the other hand, appeared calm and composed. The wooden sword seemed to come alive in his hands, deflecting Shisui's fierce attacks with each swing.
The two moved at high speed, and every time their bodies crossed, it caused violent shocks and powerful chakra aftershocks. The ground cracked and shattered, sending countless fragments of stone and dust flying.
Uchiha Gen's movements were elegant and exquisite; each strike appeared effortless, yet contained a chilling destructive power.
Shisui's attacks were mechanical and fierce, each strike seemingly born solely for slaughter.
Could it be...?
Is it because I only possess half of Uchiha Awakening's Mangekyou Sharingan?
Shisui's soul may not have truly and completely coalesced, resulting in him now acting only on instinct...
While thinking, Obito used the few remaining White Zetsu cells to fuse with his body.
The aerial battle intensified, a cacophony of flashing blades. Uchiha Abyss effortlessly and precisely parried Shisui's relentless attacks with his wooden sword, the two seemingly dancing together...
They constantly intertwined and collided in the air, their clashing forces constantly stirring the surrounding space.
The moment he landed, Uchiha Awakening used his wooden sword to block Shisui's attack.
Could Shisui utilize the unique environment of the Land of Demons to kill himself before the demons' power is exhausted?
After all, the still waters won't stop flowing unless it destroys itself.
At this moment, Uchiha Awakening unleashed Kamui Slash, tearing Shisui to pieces, but after a few moments, Shisui reformed.
Like the impure earth, it is immortal and indestructible.
The moment he landed, Uchiha Gen smiled: "Obito, your performance has indeed exceeded my expectations. After all, even the Second Hokage wouldn't dare to make such a bold assumption about my situation..."
"By the way, what you deduced today is only part of the truth..."
