Red Light Soared into the Sky
At the entrance of the dark and gloomy passage, upon hearing the conversation below, Yemo and Kakashi were filled with doubts and had a thousand words on their lips, but they found it difficult to speak for fear of disturbing the people below.
The four elders spoke less, but their conversation revealed a great deal of information, resolving many of Yemo and Kakashi's doubts, and making the whole matter increasingly clear to them.
Just then, the God Tree changed without warning. Red rays of light emerged from the God Tree, intertwining like threads. At first glance, they appeared dense and irregular, but upon closer inspection, they seemed to coalesce into a strange symbol.
This sudden scene immediately attracted everyone, both openly and secretly. All eyes were focused on the God Tree that had suddenly changed, their eyes revealing surprise and doubt.
The moment the God Tree changed, Yemo almost instinctively pulled out his Kunai, his whole body tense, ready to attack like a cheetah at the slightest movement.
Sensing the changes in Yemo, Kakashi's eyes were filled with confusion. He didn't understand why Yemo was so tense and on high alert when the tree made a sound, as if something terrible was about to happen.
Kakashi glanced at the strange God Tree outside, then at Yemo, and frowned slightly. He was already certain that Yemo knew a lot about this God Tree, but he didn't say anything.
How could Kakashi know that Yemo was nervous? The giant tree in front of him, whose origin was unknown but which had some similarities to the God Tree, was something he would never have entered if he had been given the choice an hour earlier. The things involved were too great for him to get involved in at his current level.
"What happened, third brother!"
After being stunned for several seconds, the eldest patriarch finally came to his senses and anxiously asked the third patriarch beside him. The third patriarch knew this God Tree and had been taking care of it all these years.
The third elder, equally stunned, was awakened by the first elder's shout. His mind was also in a daze, and he was somewhat incoherent as he looked at the scene, "I... I don't know... what... did this happen?"
Seeing the third brother's state, the elder knew he wouldn't get anything out of him. He turned to look at the large tree behind him, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. The red light emanating from the tree had intensified.
Meanwhile, Kakashi stared in disbelief at Yemo beside him, noticing that Yemo was also radiating a dazzling and eerie red light.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Kakashi finally reacted, moved closer to Yemo, and asked anxiously, "What happened, Yemo? What's wrong with you?"
After saying that, Kakashi turned to look at the giant tree with its dazzling red light behind him, and then quickly looked at Yemo. Yemo's transformation occurred after the giant tree's transformation. Although he didn't know the connection between them, there must be an inseparable link between the two.
"I also want to know what exactly happened," Yemo, struggling to maintain his composure in the face of this situation, his voice betraying a hint of panic.
As the person involved, Yemo's mind was already in complete turmoil. Everything happened without warning and was eerie, but what was making Yemo panic was not these things, but the changes within his body, changes that only he could feel.
The moment the red light emanated from his body, Yemo clearly felt his blood flow accelerate, causing his entire body to heat up, like a furnace burning day and night. An unknown force was summoning his blood, and this force clearly came from the strange God Tree in front of him.
From the moment he saw this giant tree, which resembled a miniature God Tree, everything became very strange. For some reason, it seemed as if something within him resonated with the giant tree before him. The previous Chakra absorption and now all indicated that he had some kind of connection with this giant tree. However, the most embarrassing thing was that he, as the person in question, was completely unaware of it.
The giant tree emitted a strange red light, instantly illuminating the dim space. This actually helped Yemo, otherwise, with Yemo whole body glowing red, he would have been discovered by the four elders below long ago.
Kakashi's gaze shifted, and he reached out to grab Yemo, his fingers gripping Yemo's shoulder tightly. But the next second, Kakashi's expression changed drastically. He felt his palm burning hot, as if he were holding a furnace. Kakashi cried out and quickly pulled back.
"How so!"
Looking down, Kakashi saw his palm was charred black and in excruciating pain. His brows furrowed even more, and he looked up at Yemo, his face practically screaming with confusion.
What is all this nonsense? If we investigate the secret properly, how did things turn out like this? Kakashi was extremely flustered and at a loss. Even Yemo didn't understand what had happened to him, so Kakashi was even more confused.
Kakashi was at a loss seeing Yemo's current condition. Staying here was definitely out of the question. In the current situation, let alone investigating further, it was questionable whether Yemo could even get out alive. But even if they left, given Yemo's current condition, it wasn't feasible for him to forcibly take him away.
The most anxious people right now are the four clan elders below. They have been planning for this day for many years, and it seems that they will be able to complete it soon, but now this situation has suddenly occurred.
The four elders were extremely nervous, fearing that something unexpected might happen that would cause their years of planning to fail, which was not as simple as starting over.
If this plan fails, their Uzumaki Clan may face extinction; if it succeeds, their Uzumaki Clan will be saved.
"Hateful!"
Things were developing in a direction they hadn't anticipated, and they were helpless here. How could this not enrage the elder?
Just then, the giant tree changed again. The red light emanating from it suddenly intensified dozens of times, so bright that the four elders couldn't help but close their eyes, and even Kakashi closed his eyes.
Only Yemo, who remained motionless, seemed unaffected; his body was out of control, but his consciousness continued to flow.
A red light flashed before his eyes, and Yemo suddenly felt dizzy. The next second, the scene in front of him changed. The land was desolate, and huge meteors burning with Kakkō fell from the sky. The sky was dark and there was no moonlight. On the boundless land, a huge God Tree that towered into the sky stood between heaven and earth, and its top could not be seen when looking up.
This scene lasted only a few seconds. Yemo's eyes darted around, and everything returned to normal. If it weren't for the scene he had just witnessed being so deeply imprinted in his mind, Yemo would have thought it was all an illusion.
Before Yemo could recover from the scene he had just arrived at, Yemo suddenly realized that his body had regained its freedom, the blood flowing through his body had returned to normal, the high temperature emanating from his body had begun to gradually decrease, and his flushed face and skin had returned to normal.
Before Yemo could figure it out, the giant tree suddenly stirred. Yemo looked up and saw a beam of dazzling red light shooting into the sky from the top of the tree.
Logically, the dome overhead should have blocked the red light, but to everyone's astonishment, the enormous red light defied the principles of light, passing through the dome's obstruction and shooting off to who knows where.
Meanwhile, outside this Sealing Space, the bright moon shyly revealed its face, and its beautiful moonlight once again shone on the earth. A gentle breeze rustled through countless branches and leaves, as if telling a story.
Everything was asleep. In the vast Uzushiogakure, only a few orange-yellow lights remained illuminated along the high walls. Uzumaki Clan ninjas patrolled with wide eyes, fearing an attack.
However, in the silent night, a blood-red pillar of light shot out from the top of the Sacred Mountain spoken of by the Uzumaki Clan. The pillar of light shot straight into the sky, illuminating the surrounding dozens of miles in a crimson glow, as if draping the world in a layer of blood red.
Everything happened without warning. The ninjas patrolling the city wall were immediately drawn to the scene. They turned around and stared at the red light shooting into the sky, dumbfounded and filled with shock.
Some even instinctively shouted, "It's appeared again!"
