Hm?!
Uchiha Itachi, who was within the borders of the Land of Fire, frowned.
Tsukuyomi?
[Tsukuyomi?!]
[An illusionary world!]
[It was mentioned in the notes left by Clan Leader Fugaku!]
[Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan, that previous genjutsu... Uchiha Itachi said it too, Tsukuyomi!]
['An illusionary world... Mangekyo Sharingan... the highest-level genjutsu I know of so far.']
['An independent world... Uchiha Obito's ocular jutsu?']
['There are many doubts, but if I can find them, the answers will naturally follow.']
In the Pure Land World, Uchiha Madara's breath hitched.
It's coming!
["Infinite Tsukuyomi... the grand plan I never completed..."]
["The successor must possess the Rinnegan..."]
["Naruto, this is so hard to decipher!"]
[Izumi's elegant brows furrowed slightly.]
["No rush, we have plenty of time."]
[Naruto's hand rested gently on Uchiha Izumi's shoulder.]
[In the memories and experiences sent back by his Shadow Clones, the Uchiha Clan Compound was dead silent; there was no need to worry about being disturbed.]
["Mhm~"]
[Izumi nodded gently and then continued to decipher the text haltingly.]
["Only those with the Rinnegan can begin... Without even the Rinnegan, one cannot even take the first step..."]
["Use the Rinnegan to summon... the Ge...do Statue..."]
[The Gedo Statue?]
[Naruto silently memorized those four words.]
["The nine Tailed Beasts were originally one..."]
[At this point in the deciphering, Izumi was stunned, and Naruto was stunned too.]
[Similarly, within the Sealing Space, the Great Fox, who was fumbling with which hand signs to use with the secret technique, also trembled all over.]
Beneath the black-framed large screen, the Ninja World also fell silent.
The Tailed Beasts were known to everyone.
As the Ninja World's top-tier 'weapons of war'.
Every single Tailed Beast was an existence capable of destroying heaven and earth.
Yet, at this moment, the contents of the stone tablet were telling everyone.
These Tailed Beasts were actually one entity.
Doesn't that mean they can still merge?!
Just one is enough to endanger an entire region.
If all nine merged... it would be far stronger than just one plus one plus one!
Inside the Sealing Space, the Nine-Tailed also widened its eyes.
"Did the Old Man of Six Paths really leave this content behind?!"
And within the Pure Land World, in a certain corner, the Six Paths Sage was not surprised.
In reality, he spent most of his time in deep sleep.
But that didn't mean he didn't know of Black Zetsu's existence.
He even... let it develop.
After sealing their mother, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, who had created them, his younger brother also went to the moon to guard the seal and watch over the Gedo Statue.
And since then, the Six Paths Sage never had any contact with that toad... well, Gamamaru.
After calming down, the Six Paths Sage finally began to think.
Mhm... atonement.
After that came the creation of the School, the Pure Land World... no one knew if he felt any remorse.
Of course, it was also possible that he had absolute confidence in his own power.
As for Gamamaru, also known as the Great Toad Sage, what he represented was nothing more than the indigenous, primordial power of the Ninja World.
The Pure Land World might be another, gentler form of 'Infinite Tsukuyomi', a breeding ground for creating White Zetsu.
[Seeing Naruto's silence, Izumi naturally guessed that he was communicating with the Great Fox inside the Sealing Space.]
[So she continued to decipher the text.]
["Great Fox, you..."]
["Don't ask. This Fox won't say anything until at least after you've undone the seal." The Great Fox set aside its tsundere attitude.]
[It became rare and serious.]
[Naruto was taken aback, then gave a helpless smile.]
[He hadn't expected to learn so many secrets on this trip.]
[Fortunately, these matters didn't seem to be that urgent.]
[At least, in Naruto's eyes, they didn't conflict with the many things he planned to do next.]
[It was best to let things take their natural course.]
[Pulling his thoughts back, he looked at his Wife Izumi.]
[Izumi was silent for a moment, organized her thoughts, and continued:]
["The Gedo Statue's function is to separate... or fuse Tailed Beasts."]
["The nine Tailed Beasts were originally one; they were split from the Ten... Ten-Tails."]
["Ten-Tails... the Divine Tree?"]
["Naruto, it seems to have some connection to the Rabbit Goddess you mentioned to me before."]
[Naruto nodded slightly and said, "Continue."]
[It was too long ago; much of what was passed down was mostly fictional, and much had been forgotten in history.]
[What Naruto knew was only bits and pieces.]
Senju Tobirama: "I think I understand now."
Uchiha Izuna: I... I understand too.
Senju Hashirama: Hmm... the Ten-Tails? Hahaha~ It should be very strong, right?
Senju Hashirama: In that case, sealing it must be quite a struggle?
Senju Tobirama: "Big Brother, now is not the time for laughing."
Senju Tobirama: "Madara, it's all because of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, isn't it?"
Uchiha Madara: Hmph!
["By summoning the Gedo Statue, the nine Tailed Beasts can be merged into the Ten-Tails."]
["But the Tailed Beasts must be sealed in order... starting from the Ichibi, Shukaku."]
["Finally, after synthesizing the Ten-Tails, one can absorb it to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and then use the moon as a medium."]
["The Ten-Tails Jinchuriki is invincible."]
["The power they possess is beyond imagination... they can easily cast Infinite Tsukuyomi on everyone in the world..."]
["Infinite Tsukuyomi... the ultimate form of Tsukuyomi."]
["It can send everyone in the world into the Tsukuyomi world... which is being caught in a genjutsu."]
["In the illusionary world, everyone is an independent existence."]
["In the Tsukuyomi world, everyone can... obtain everything their heart most desires."]
["An absolutely beautiful world with no regrets, only peace, and filled with love."]
[At this point in the deciphering.]
[Izumi fell silent.]
[Naruto's brow, however, furrowed even deeper.]
[The faces of many people kept flashing through his mind.]
["If the Infinite Tsukuyomi is cast... in the Tsukuyomi world, everything would become beautiful, and the Uchiha Clan wouldn't have been massacred..." Izumi murmured.]
[However, soon after, Izumi shook her head again.]
[Feeling the hand resting gently on her shoulder, Izumi suddenly smiled.]
[The illusionary world, Infinite Tsukuyomi, whatever it was—it was all fake.]
[Thinking this, Izumi took the initiative to hold Naruto's hand.]
[She hadn't died on the Uchiha's Clan Massacre Night.]
[And she knew what happened afterward.]
[If she were under the Infinite Tsukuyomi... according to her thoughts at the time... no, there was absolutely no way she would accept it!]
[Everything being beautiful... it would be wonderful if everyone were still alive, but if that beast were also alive...]
[Izumi was silent for a long time.]
["The Six Paths Sage also said that this is the only way to save the world from suffering, and he entrusted this heavy responsibility to the Uchiha Clan."]
["He hoped that the descendants who saw this content could use the Uchiha's power to save the Ninja World."]
Uchiha Obito: "What's so bad about an illusionary world?"
Uchiha Obito: "Reality is too cruel!"
Uzumaki Naruto: "Shut up! That's no excuse for you acting like a beast!"
Uchiha Obito: "Heh, so what if they're dead? So what if you hate me?"
Uchiha Obito: "In the illusionary world, everyone will be alive."
Rin Nohara: Enough!
Rin Nohara: I can't stand you like this anymore, Obito!
