What Did You Do?

The silent night sky and cold moonlight illuminated Yuan's pale profile.

Uchiha Yuan calmly withdrew his gaze, as tranquil as though nothing in this world could ever shake his heart again.

"Actually, I attended several clan assemblies before..."

Yuan's voice was so soft it was almost a murmur, yet it carried clearly into Obito's ears through the silence.

"But unfortunately, there are many fools in this world and very few truly intelligent people."

With disdain in his tone, he continued with a soft sigh, "Majority rule, in the end, merely lets the majority of ignorant people decide upon a foolish matter."

Having said that, his gaze shifted once more toward the full moon.

Moonlight reflected in his eyes, and the Mangekyō Sharingan refracted strange, eerie rays of light, continuously releasing deep, unique ocular power.

It was as if he were whispering to the moonlight, yet Obito could not understand at all what Yuan was doing.

On the surface, this Uchiha Yuan appeared to be turning the deepest emotions in his heart into ocular power and venting them.

Yet the power he released was not focused. It scattered aimlessly through the empty air, as though he were wasting precious Mangekyō power.

Could it be that he had merely learned that the night of the clan massacre was coming and was helplessly venting his dissatisfaction?

Suddenly, Yuan let out a faint sigh, his tone carrying a trace of regret.

"The moonlight... the Infinite Tsukuyomi... What a pity."

Hearing this, Obito was seized by shock and vigilance.

The Infinite Tsukuyomi?

"The so-called love of the Uchiha Clan is ultimately obsessive and selfish. No one can escape it."

"Even Shisui, who is regarded as the very model of gentleness, could not break free from such a fate."

At the mention of Shisui, a faint, almost imperceptible trace of regret and mockery appeared in his eyes...

"Before Shisui met with disaster, I had a proper talk with him. Unfortunately, he did not appreciate it. Instead, he thought I was insane, crazier than anyone else in the clan."

Hidden in the shadows, Obito's heart stirred slightly, and he suddenly became curious.

What had he said to Uchiha Shisui that even someone like Shisui considered it deranged nonsense?

Yuan seemed to have anticipated Obito's doubts. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he chuckled softly before once again speaking to himself.

"Hehehe, I merely told him in advance everything that was about to happen in the future... Unfortunately, not only did Shisui refuse to believe me, he even thought something was wrong with my mind."

As soon as he finished speaking, his smile vanished, and his voice returned to its calm, indifferent tone.

"However, that was precisely my intention. I only wanted Shisui to hear those words in advance, to plant a sufficiently deep concept in his heart."

"A concept?"

Obito grew even more puzzled, completely unable to grasp the true meaning behind Yuan's words.

Yuan seemed not to notice Obito's questions and continued calmly...

"Only at the moment Shisui's life ended would he truly recall what I had once told him."

"By then, those originally hollow concepts would completely solidify in the depths of his heart into an indelible truth."

"Concept solidification?"

Obito became even more confused, as though he were gradually sinking into an unfathomable fog.

Yet he could vaguely sense that concepts had some connection to the abilities of his Mangekyō Sharingan.

Yuan shook his head slightly, a trace of indescribable contempt and pity appearing in his eyes.

"What a pity. Even if Uchiha Obito were standing here listening right now, he still would not understand what I mean... After all, he is simply too stupid."

After all, he was a fool. Do not expect him to understand too much.

Behind his mask, Obito's mouth twitched slightly...

Why, thank you.

Yuan no longer paid attention to such details. His gaze returned to the night sky, as deep as a bottomless abyss, and he slowly uttered words heavy with fate...

"The Shinobi World will ultimately be destroyed."

This sentence was like a whisper in profound darkness. Yuan's voice was low and detached, yet it carried an indescribable power of temptation.

Every word seemed engraved into the air, seeping directly into the deepest recesses of Uchiha Obito's heart, hidden in the darkness.

Destruction...

The word carried an eerie magic, as though it bore endless weight, instantly tearing apart Obito's once-calm nerves.

His heart jolted, and he abruptly realized something was wrong.

Genjutsu!

Obito immediately became alert, swiftly gathering the ocular power within his Sharingan, intending to break through this genjutsu that had silently invaded his mind in one stroke.

Yet at this moment, Yuan still stood beneath the moonlight, faintly watching the night sky as it gradually darkened, continuing to speak in an incomparably calm tone...

"Under cognitive bias, concepts undergo severe distortion, leading to incorrect judgments and actions."

"So-called cognition refers to a series of psychological processes through which an individual perceives, understands, remembers, and reasons about the external world."

"It encompasses all human abilities to acquire, process, and apply information. Cognition is the foundation of mental activity and determines the reality we perceive..."

These words were like silent incantations, each one clearly drilling into Obito's ears.

They unexpectedly formed a strange confrontation with his ocular technique, disrupting his thoughts and making the genjutsu, which should have been easy to break, exceedingly troublesome.

At the same time, the moonlight gradually began to distort, turning into a heart-palpitating crimson.

A blood moon hung high in the sky, utterly eerie.

Through the Sharingan beneath his mask, Obito clearly sensed this weak genjutsu rapidly intensifying, causing his nerves to tense to their limit.

Soon, he seemed to see the Uchiha Clan compound.

Bodies of Uchiha clan members lay in pools of blood, the blood from their chests gushing like springs and flowing into glaring crimson streams...

They converged into a vast river of blood, reflected in the night sky as it gradually intertwined with the crimson moon.

As the lives of the clan members steadily ebbed away, Yuan's Mangekyō Sharingan began wantonly releasing unprecedented ocular power, and that faintly ominous aura gradually became denser and stronger.

Yuan watched the scarlet scene indifferently, without the slightest emotional fluctuation on his face, as though everything before him was merely a sight he had long foreseen.

His abyss-like gaze remained quietly fixed in Obito's direction.

It seemed to pierce through reality and illusion...

Yuan turned his face slightly. The unfathomable Mangekyō pattern in his eyes spun without pause as he spoke in a low, detached voice...

"When cognition completely collapses, reality will collapse with it. Everything that is done is ultimately an error born of vast cognitive bias."

At this, Yuan turned to look at the sky. "Shisui's greatest wish before his death was for the village and the clan to coexist peacefully..."

At this, Yuan slowly spoke without expression, "Tonight, his wish came true..."

After a long silence, Uchiha Obito finally could not help but reveal himself. "What did you do?"
