Chapter 385 Obito: Rin, I'm so sorry, quack!
"The ultimate Sharingan?"
As Sasuke pondered those words repeatedly in his mind, he quietly raised his head.
He quickly scanned the Rinnegan, which was unlike any other Sharingan.
One after another, pale purple ripples, layer upon layer.
Just being stared at by those eyes, so calm and unwavering, made Sasuke feel that all his secrets were laid bare.
He hesitated for a moment.
Sasuke finally couldn't hold back and asked:
"The ultimate Sharingan... could it be these eyes of yours?"
Upon hearing this, Ban raised his eyebrows slightly.
He seemed completely unprepared for this brat to dare to use his Rinnegan at this moment.
Then, Madara glanced at Sasuke indifferently.
"Kid."
"My eyes aren't something just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can casually peer into."
"It is the end of all things, a symbol of destiny."
"As for you... you can never have those eyes. Stop having such unrealistic daydreams and recognize your pathetic limits."
however.
Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu's half-black, half-white face twitched, his expression turning strange.
"Hehehe... Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Madara, you're as arbitrary as ever."
Black Zetsu sneered inwardly.
What symbol of destiny?
What is absolutely impossible to possess?
Others might not know, but how could he, the most filial son in the ninja world who has lived for over a thousand years, not know what the Rinnegan is made of?
Essentially, it is nothing more than the chakra of Indra and the chakra of Ashura, which merged and intertwined in the same container, drawing upon the power of the Sage of Six Paths, and thus producing an inevitable byproduct.
Black Zetsu knew it all too well.
The Uchiha descendant before us is none other than the actual reincarnation of Indra in this generation.
However, since Sasuke is the reincarnation of Indra, then... who will be the Ashura of this generation?
Just as Black Zetsu was pondering this in his heart.
You're not allowed?
When Sasuke heard Madara's resolute denial, the nameless anger of being utterly looked down upon instantly transformed into a strong sense of rebellion.
He believed that the betrayals, hardships, and pain he carried were enough to fill an ordinary person's life.
What Sasuke hates most is when people use that condescending tone to dismiss him in a self-righteous way.
Moreover, he was not unfamiliar with precedents of breaking the impossible!
What's so special about that? What's so amazing about it?
Sasuke suddenly raised his head, unwilling to accept it, and said, "Is that so? In that case... that guy named Nagato also has eyes exactly like yours! How do you explain that?!"
After he finished speaking, the space fell into dead silence.
Sasuke, simply to prove his point, retorted without backing down.
But Ban's gaze changed in an instant.
If it was disdain before, then now it is terrifyingly sharp.
Madara knew, of course, that Nagato possessed the Rinnegan.
nonsense!
Because those eyes were part of his plan back then.
That was a hidden move he made to realize the Eye of the Moon plan and to ensure his perfect resurrection in the future.
A sense of irritation at being unintentionally touched on a sore spot by an ignorant person, along with fury at Sasuke's ungratefulness, churned within Madara's heart.
He didn't speak, but just gave Sasuke a cold look.
Just that one glance.
Sasuke felt a cold sweat instantly soak through his back.
"snort!"
Fortunately, Madara Uchiha only let out a heavy snort in the end.
He offered no explanation, nor did he intend to waste any more words on this pointless topic; facts speak louder than words.
"Come with me."
Ban suddenly turned around and walked towards the even deeper and wider underground space outside the stone chamber.
"Since you harbor doubts about the ultimate eye power of our Uchiha clan, and are still obsessed with the Sage Mode that draws power from nature..."
"Then I will be merciful and let you, this ignorant frog in a well, see for yourself what the true power of the Sharingan at its peak, which belongs to the realm of gods, is."
"Once your pathetic eyes have witnessed that horror firsthand, your barren mind will naturally understand how ridiculous and insignificant your so-called magical arts, which you have so desperately pursued, are in the face of those eyes!"
Madara's words did not completely dispel Sasuke's thoughts; instead, they aroused his stronger competitive spirit and aroused his deeper curiosity.
What is the true power of the Sharingan?
Surpassing Sage Mode?!
Fear and hesitation lingered in Sasuke's mind for less than a fraction of a second.
Sasuke took a deep breath and, without any hesitation, followed the tall figure ahead.
He'd better open his eyes and take a good look.
The so-called... true power.
The two walked one after the other through the winding underground passage.
Before long, the view in front of me suddenly opened up.
They arrived at the largest and most spacious underground cavern hall.
Sasuke's gaze habitually swept quickly across the cave, assessing his surroundings.
Immediately, his pupils narrowed slightly.
He noticed it.
The crow that had been training before had somehow and silently flown back.
It tilted its head slightly, like a dead thing, and its two scarlet eyes were staring unblinkingly at Madara and Sasuke.
However, Madara Uchiha seemed to have no reaction to the crow's return.
Or rather, they simply don't care.
He strode straight to the center of the cave, turned his back to Sasuke, and slowly said, "Watch closely, kid. Don't blink. If you miss it, you may never have the chance to see it again in your life."
Before the words had even finished!
Sasuke didn't even see Madara Uchiha make any hand seals.
boom!!!!
An indescribable chakra, centered on Madara Uchiha's body, erupted violently like a millennia-old volcano!
A powerful surge of chakra instantly created a storm within the cave, making it impossible for Sasuke to open his eyes.
"Susanoo!"
A pale blue, semi-transparent energy, visible to the naked eye, instantly enveloped and protected Madara Uchiha's towering body.
Immediately afterwards, a series of chilling bone-grinding sounds rang out continuously.
In just one or two breaths, there is absolutely no time for anyone to react.
A gigantic, pale blue energy giant, so large it nearly burst through the dome of the enormous cavern, stood majestically before Sasuke, exuding an unparalleled majesty.
The giant is currently only in the form of a skeleton above the chest.
But it was already terrifying enough. Thick chakra ribs, as thick as ancient trees, intertwined to form an absolute defensive cage, firmly protecting Madara at the center.
"Susanoo?!"
Sasuke stared wide-eyed.
He had heard Nissan mention it before.
This is an advanced application of the Sharingan's eye power!
He had also seen the fake product in person, which displayed a similar orange-red giant form.
but……
Seeing something from a distance and experiencing it face-to-face are two completely different things!
Madara Uchiha was positioned in the center of Susanoo's chest cavity.
He crossed his arms over his chest, his entire being becoming one with this destructive energy giant, inseparable from it.
He lowered his head slightly, his Rinnegan looking down at Sasuke, who was pale with shock, a hint of surprise flashing across his face as he looked down at him.
"Oh?"
"You brat, you actually know the name Susanoo?"
After all, in this era, there are very few people who have seen Susanoo and survived.
However, this small surprise lasted for less than half a second before being quickly replaced by his inherent arrogance and confidence.
Ban slowly raised his right hand.
Simultaneously, the enormous pale blue skull Susanoo also raised its massive right arm, which was composed of high-density chakra energy.
With a sonic boom that tore through the air, the giant hand reached out to Sasuke with overwhelming force.
His huge palms were spread out facing upwards, and his five finger bones, which were like giant pillars, were slightly bent.
"Come."
"Attack with your strongest ninjutsu, which you are so proud of."
"Let me see just how much of a ripple your pitiful little power can make in the face of the divine power manifested in my eyes."
"So that you can personally experience... what an insurmountable chasm lies between the unorthodox path you so yearn for and the ultimate power etched into the blood of our Uchiha clan!"
Facing the towering, pale blue skeletal giant.
Sasuke's heart was pounding at an alarming rate.
fear?
Of course there are.
Faced with such an unknown and powerful force that is beyond the scope of cognition, physiological fear is unavoidable.
But even stronger than fear was a sense of exploration and persistence born from being severely stimulated.
He desperately wanted to know.
Just how powerful can Susanoo be?
Sasuke exhaled a large breath of stale air, his eyes instantly turning incredibly cold and fierce.
He slowly raised his right hand.
Palms facing the ground.
All his chakra gathered in his right palm.
Sizzle...sizzle!
It was as if a thousand ferocious birds were simultaneously wailing and screaming like thunder, which suddenly exploded in the cave.
The dazzling lightning even momentarily overshadowed the eerie blue light emanating from Susanoo.
Chidori!
Extremely violent azure lightning gathered wildly in his palm, eventually forming a ball of lightning.
The wildly dancing arcs of electricity illuminated Sasuke's somewhat ferocious face with flickering light and shadow.
Without much hesitation.
Sasuke activated his Sharingan, locked onto Susanoo, and transformed into a bolt of lightning. At the maximum speed he could achieve in his life, he poured all his power into this attack.
Sizzle, boom!!!
The ear-piercing crackling of electricity and the terrifying shriek produced by the violent physical collision between high-intensity lightning-attribute chakra and pure Yin Release energy intertwined in an instant, resounding throughout the entire underground cavern.
In an instant, countless violent arcs of electricity leaping in all directions illuminated the underground space as bright as day.
however……
This seemingly powerful and all-out attack ultimately led to Sasuke's despair.
Like a heavy train traveling at full speed, crashing head-on into a wall of sighs.
It felt like nothing was being broken through.
The Chidori, which is said to be able to cut through lightning, was easily intercepted by that indestructible chakra skeleton.
Even when Sasuke exerted all his strength and pushed his chakra to its limit, his Chidori couldn't even leave a mark on the surface of the bone.
The power of lightning could only weakly travel across the surface of the bones before dissipating into nothingness.
Absolute defense, absolute disparity.
Before Sasuke could even recover from his shock...
boom!
An overwhelming and terrifying force of recoil surged back from the bones of Susanoo, flowing back up Sasuke's arm.
Well!
Sasuke let out a painful groan as he was violently thrown back by the force.
He flew backwards for more than ten meters in mid-air like a tattered sack.
Sasuke, still feeling the numbness in his right hand, looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock.
His attack just now was truly without reservation; it was definitely the strongest attack he could unleash in his current state!
But the result...
Is this Susanoo's defense?!
"snort."
Madara Uchiha's voice rang out again.
"Did you see that clearly, kid?"
"Don't make that stupid face. This is just one of the basic abilities of Susanoo, a near-invincible dual defense of physical and ninjutsu."
Sasuke swallowed hard.
This was the first time in his life that he had come to such a direct realization.
Faced with that ultimate power that truly surpasses the very top of the ninja world's pyramid, how laughable is the talent that I have always been so proud of?
However, the demonstration was not over yet.
Madara Uchiha's purple Rinnegan narrowed slightly, a cold light flashing within it.
clack clack...
The enormous skeletal giant moved!
It slowly raised its thick right arm.
His five fingers suddenly clenched in mid-air, forming a terrifying bone fist that was larger than Sasuke himself.
Immediately afterwards, there were no fancy moves.
With an unstoppable destructive force, the giant fist, accompanied by a tearing roar that ripped through the air, aimed at Sasuke below and smashed down on his head!
boom!!!
Before the fist arrives, the pressure comes first!
The moment the giant fist landed, Sasuke felt as if the air above his head had been completely sucked away, and an invisible, suffocating pressure descended upon him.
Under this absolute pressure, not to mention dodging, even moving a single finger becomes extremely difficult.
There's no escaping it! No hiding from it! No way to catch it!
They'll definitely be smashed into a smooth, even pile of minced meat!
Sasuke watched in disbelief as the enormous skeletal fist rapidly enlarged in his pupils at an alarming rate.
hum!
However, just as that giant fist was only an inch away from the top of his head.
It came to an abrupt end without any warning.
It hovered steadily in mid-air.
Although the giant fist stopped, the wind generated by its downward swing caused Sasuke's black hair to fly wildly backward.
The strong airflow made it impossible for him to open his eyes.
Although it didn't actually fall and crush his skull.
But in that instant, the destructive aura that was so close at hand perfectly interpreted the ultimate meaning of power.
Madara Uchiha's cold voice rang in Sasuke's ears once again:
"Now tell me, can Sage Mode grant you this kind of absolute defense that ignores everything?!"
"Can those low-level tricks really give you the power to crush everything with a mere gesture?!"
Sasuke's breathing stopped completely at that moment.
Sage Mode... Can it really go to such an outrageous level?
Sasuke's mind raced through the comparisons.
Judging from the glimpse of yesterday, Naruto in Sage Mode in his dream world is indeed very strong, but...
What if that state were placed in front of this chakra giant?
Sasuke was horrified to discover this.
They're not even in the same league!
After experiencing extreme shock and the fear of being on the brink of life and death.
The extremes must be reversed.
A desire more intense and frantic than ever before began to grow in Sasuke's heart.
If... if I could also master this power...
He abruptly raised his head, gazing up at the towering Uchiha Madara, and asked loudly:
"How...how can I learn this?! Teach me! I want to learn!"
See Sasuke's rekindled desire below.
Madara Uchiha's lips finally curled into a smile of satisfaction and mockery.
Faced with such a visually stunning display of power, any unrealistic fantasies about alternative paths are nothing but illusions.
Pursuing external things? Begging for ethereal natural energy?
What could be more direct and pure than personally digging deep into the endless treasures hidden within one's own bloodline?!
"snort."
Ban's thoughts stirred slightly.
The Susanoo became illusory at a visible speed, slowly dissipating and turning into countless tiny blue specks of light.
Madara Uchiha reverted to his original form, standing with his arms crossed, looking down at Sasuke, and said calmly:
"It's very simple."
"Now that you've awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan..."
"So, theoretically, your body already meets the threshold for activating and using Susanoo."
"real?!"
Upon hearing this, Sasuke felt an indescribable surge of joy.
However, what Ban said next instantly extinguished the excitement that had just risen in his heart.
"However, with your current fragile physical strength, if you were to force it to activate, you simply wouldn't be able to withstand the terrifying burden it would place on your body!"
"Forget about driving it into high-intensity combat; even if you only manifest its most basic skeletal form, your body will instantly collapse!"
"I can handle it!"
Sasuke interrupted Madara as if by reflex.
"As long as I can master that power! No matter how much pain, no matter how severe the price, I can endure it!"
"Foolish! Ignorant!"
Madara Uchiha's eyes instantly sharpened, and a fierce shout echoed through the cave:
"Do you think that controlling such power is simply a matter of gritting your teeth and relying on your laughable willpower? You're too naive!"
"The Sharingan's power is the ultimate manifestation of Yin Release chakra in this world! It is the embodiment of spiritual power!"
"And Susanoo is the process of forcibly materializing this intangible Yin Release power!"
"You must remember, the higher the level of the eye technique, the more terrifying and irreversible the erosion and exploitation of the physical body that contains it becomes as it materializes!"
"This is not something you can just grit your teeth and get through. This is the price you have to pay for using this power. It is an unavoidable erosion that belongs to the level of bloodline laws."
"Without a sufficiently strong physique, without a body forged from steel through countless trials, without an inexhaustible life force as the foundation to support this power..."
"If you try to forcefully exceed your level to control a power of the eye that you can't possibly master, there will only be one outcome—"
"That is, your fragile body will collapse completely from within, even before your enemy, due to the power you yourself unleash!"
"Your body will rapidly deteriorate due to overload, and your life force will be drained by your eye power. Do you understand, you ignorant brat?!"
Sasuke stared wide-eyed, his face pale, his pupils trembling violently.
he knows.
Because he himself had experienced it firsthand.
Since awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, he could clearly feel that every time he used the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques, even just a simple one, it would bring him a great burden.
He always thought it was because he wasn't skilled enough, but he never thought about the possibility that his body couldn't handle it.
Seeing Sasuke's thoughtful expression, filled with fear and sudden realization, Madara paused for a moment.
Then, a complex expression flashed in his deep, round eyes.
"Did you think that I trained you to satisfy my perverse pleasure of watching you writhe and writhe like a worm?"
"No."
"That's using a direct and primal method to toughen up your frail body."
"All this suffering is so that your frail vessel can, in the future... bear the Mangekyou Sharingan, and bear the ultimate power of the Uchiha clan."
Sasuke stood there, stunned, upon hearing this.
He subconsciously touched his eyes gently through his eyelids.
I see……
Behind Madara Uchiha's training lies a profound purpose: to ensure his survival and control of power!
It wasn't because I didn't want to teach him advanced ninjutsu.
It's not that if he were to rashly venture into that field now, he would only be heading towards certain death.
Seeing Sasuke lost in deep thought, the resentment and discontent on his face gradually faded, eventually transforming into a sense of enlightenment.
Ban smiled coldly to himself.
He knew that the ultimate goal of today's theory lesson had been perfectly achieved.
Use both kindness and severity, destroy first and then build.
"Now, has your stupid brain finally figured it out, kid?"
Ban's voice had returned to its original aloofness, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
"In this world, there are never any shortcuts to becoming stronger. Trying to reach the top in one step will only result in a crushing fall. So-called magic is nothing more than a trick that uses external forces."
"If you want to gain power, you must pay the corresponding price and be prepared to endure pain."
"So, kid, are you ready to begin today's training?"
"...Yes! Come on!"
This time, Sasuke's answer was without any hesitation or complaint.
He suddenly stood up straight, and there was no longer a trace of doubt or confusion in his dark eyes.
From then on, Sasuke became more serious and focused in his training than ever before.
……
at the same time.
Far away on Mount Myōboku, Naruto, under the guidance of Jiraiya and Fukasaku, also began a new day of training.
Witnessing Naruto's Sage Mode in his dream heightened his desire to master it to an unprecedented level.
Daylight fades and night falls as scheduled.
When Obito slowly opened his eyes.
He was greeted first by the bright sunshine.
He soon found himself lying on a soft, green grass.
Above our heads was a green dome formed by the intertwined canopies of several towering trees with extremely dense foliage.
A scene of peace and tranquility.
"You've come in again?"
Obito lowered his arms and looked blankly at the leaves swaying in the wind.
Which dream is this?
Just as a sense of vigilance arose in Obito's mind, before he could even properly examine the unfamiliar surroundings...
Suddenly, a gentle, concerned voice sounded from the side: "Obito, you're awake?"
Obito's entire body convulsed uncontrollably.
He turned his head sharply, and there was someone right next to him, less than two feet away.
A petite figure was squatting there obediently, her arms wrapped around her knees.
She tilted her head slightly, her face bearing the warmest smile he remembered most vividly. Her chestnut-brown short hair shimmered softly in the sunlight, and her clear, bright eyes were now looking at him with a smile.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
"Lin...!"
Obito's voice was dry.
The emotions he had been forcibly suppressing for days, the emotions he was unwilling to face, finally erupted at this moment in front of Lin's smile.
"Woo...quack!"
Unable to suppress his sobs, Obito didn't care about losing face anymore. He suddenly stood up, threw himself into Rin's arms, and burst into tears, uttering incoherent sobs.
"Lin! It's me..."
"It's all my fault that you died."
"It's my fault for not protecting you."
"I'm an idiot."
"It's all my fault."
"I'm so sorry, Lin!"
