Shinji pondered for a long time and suddenly had a guess.
Could it be that in the previous instance, Itachi used Tsukuyomi, Susanoo, and Amaterasu successively but couldn't kill him, which led to the appearance of these three abilities with clear counter-relationships?
Of course, the most impressive was Effect 1.
It could actually upgrade the Sharingan. Even if the Mangekyō Sharingan was the limit, it was still a BUG.
If the Uchiha clan were still around, they could have produced a large number of Mangekyō Sharingan users within a few years.
After all, there were quite a few owners of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
One Mangekyō Sharingan user could be born every three months. Four a year, this speed was already terrifying.
But now this ability was completely useless.
There were only three living Uchiha members, at most.
Obito, Itachi, and Sasuke!
Including Madara, who might be revived, that's only four.
And only Sasuke needed the help of this item; the others didn't need it at all.
This was very awkward!
If this divine artifact had fallen into the hands of the Uchiha clan in its prime, it might have truly swept through the ninja world and suppressed the Senju clan.
Everyone with a Mangekyō, whoever they glared at, would die!
But this item was actually condensed by sacrificing the entire Uchiha clan...
It was destined to be contradictory and unable to achieve both.
Shinji put the item away. Although the greatest use of this item was now rendered useless, the subsequent abilities were all very useful. In the future, they would be very effective against the Uchiha.
Huh?
There were so few Uchiha left, why was I still thinking about fighting the Uchiha?
This philosophical question perplexed him greatly.
But then he thought, if he didn't fight the Uchiha, wouldn't this incredibly awesome [Curse Object] be obtained in vain?
Thinking this way, he immediately felt much better.
He glanced at the night sky. He had wasted a lot of time today and it was time to leave.
Sasuke, on the other hand, slept on the ground until dawn.
When he opened his eyes in confusion, he felt a sense of trance.
"Is it another dream..."
"But this dream is too strange."
He dreamed of 'that night' again, but this time, another person appeared in the dream.
He couldn't remember the specifics, but some things were deeply ingrained in his memory. For example, the person's name seemed to be Akagi Something, and he was an Evil God. There was a strange pattern on the back of his clothes...
In the dream, that Akagi Evil God turned the entire Konoha into a blood-red apocalyptic scene.
The person he swore to kill with his own hands died with a casual wave of his hand.
There was also one thing he found very strange: that Akagi Evil God seemed to keep emphasizing something about the truth, about being manipulated, and then... then what?
Sasuke patted his head, feeling a sharp pain, but he couldn't remember anything else.
"Oh, right, how did I fall asleep?"
As the dream and reality intertwined, Sasuke became confused. Moreover, the room was unchanged as usual, so he stopped thinking about it and began preparing his training plan for the day.
However, certain images kept flashing in his mind, making it impossible for him to concentrate.
...
"How did it turn out like this?"
Shinji looked at Tobi and Hidan, who was left with only his head, with a look of confusion.
Tobi awkwardly scratched his head. "Ah, well, the thing is..."
It turned out that when Tobi and Hidan were escorting Mangetsu Hōzuki, they were indeed attacked midway.
Three Jōnin plus five Chūnin, all of whom were masters of Lightning Release and Taijutsu.
It was almost as if they had 'I am from Kumogakure' written on their faces.
Originally, it would have been almost impossible for these people to fail in intercepting Mangetsu Hōzuki.
But if Hidan and Tobi were added, the outcome would be completely different.
Tobi and Hidan joined forces, with one secretly collecting blood and the other directly drawing the ritual.
They instantly killed the strongest opponent right from the start!
Then, after a fierce battle, the three of them worked together to eliminate everyone. However, both Hidan and Mangetsu Hōzuki sustained serious injuries.
Hidan had an immortal body and would heal himself in no time.
Mangetsu Hōzuki mastered the Water Transformation Secret Technique and could also heal himself.
So, they simply continued on their journey.
This time, there were no problems. They successfully escorted Mangetsu Hōzuki onto a ship. It was almost impossible to kill a member of the Hōzuki clan who mastered the Water Transformation Technique on the open sea.
Mangetsu Hōzuki was very grateful to Shinji and the others. If Shinji hadn't insisted, he might not have made it back this time.
The situation was still fine up to this point, the main issue was what happened next.
After sending off Mangetsu Hōzuki, Hidan, for some unknown reason, insisted on wandering around and recruiting a few more obedient followers.
Tobi couldn't persuade him, and he also didn't particularly want to stay in Konoha, so he simply wandered around outside with Hidan.
Hidan's method of recruiting people was so outrageous that even Tobi almost couldn't stand it.
If he took a liking to someone, he would directly ask them if they were willing to join the Jashin Cult.
If the other party refused, Hidan would get angry and start attacking.
If the other party agreed...
Oh, sorry, no one agreed.
Originally, this was nothing. Anyway, ordinary people couldn't do anything to the two of them.
But it was unfortunate that someone else was also looking for someone.
Shalil Cyber, who had traveled all the way from the Land of Wind, came to retrieve his weapon.
As soon as he heard that a guy with a prominent forehead was wielding a unique weapon like the Scythe of the Three Moons and attacking people everywhere, his eyes immediately turned red.
Then, Tobi and Hidan were cornered by Shalil Cyber.
The Snakeskin Sword was with Shinji, so Hidan naturally didn't have it.
Moreover, even if he did, Hidan wouldn't give it to him.
Thus, the two sides immediately engaged in a great battle.
Although they didn't have the advantage of the desert terrain, Shalil Cyber was not the same person he was back then. He had grown a lot over this period.
Coupled with the BUG-like ability of Sand Transformation, he had completely stunned Hidan from the moment they clashed.
And when Shinji encountered Shalil Cyber back then, Tobi hadn't joined the Evil God Cult yet, so he naturally didn't know how formidable the opponent was and almost suffered a great loss.
In desperation, Tobi had no choice but to flee with Hidan.
However, the opponent, by some unknown means, was able to track their location and pursued them relentlessly.
Finally, Hidan, unwilling to accept defeat, wanted to fight back, but the result was that he was cut into pieces by sand blades.
If Tobi hadn't timely saved Hidan with Kamui, Shalil Cyber would probably be planting cacti on Hidan's corpse by now.
Shinji listened, utterly bewildered!
He really couldn't imagine that these two would cause so much trouble on just one outing.
First, they were attacked, then they caused trouble everywhere, and then they were chased...
"Did that guy chase us all the way to Konoha?"
Tobi chuckled awkwardly.
