The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, with clear moonlight spilling across the earth.
In a deep valley, Haori was walking slowly forward with a hoe, a shovel, and other tools strapped to his back.
The vegetation here was extremely lush, with dense trees blocking the moonlight from reaching the ground.
However, the dim environment did not affect him; his scarlet eyes were constantly scanning everything around him.
"This damn place is actually quite large."
At this moment, Haori had made all the preparations for grave robbing and had arrived at Qiuyue Valley.
It was just that this place was much larger than he had imagined, forcing him to spend more time searching here.
Fortunately, he had already prepared himself mentally; after all, the document from the Uzumaki clan did not provide a specific location.
All he could do was observe continuously through his Sharingan, trying his best to spot any traces left behind here.
"Good thing I have the Sharingan, otherwise I would have nothing to do but sigh at the vastness."
Over a hundred years had passed, and the traces that could remain were truly few and far between.
If he had only used human eyes to search, Haori could have truly chosen to give up, as natural changes had long since caused everything in the surroundings to undergo massive shifts.
And let's not forget, the century-defining battle between Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama decades ago had a huge impact on the entire Land of Fire.
Although this Qiuyue Valley was relatively far from Konoha and the destruction it suffered did not reach the level that eventually formed the Valley of the End.
But under the impact of such power, it was truly no surprise that some changes had occurred here.
Therefore, wanting to find something here was still quite difficult.
The Sharingan, however, could rely on its superior insight to find the faint traces left behind in the past.
"Besides, my Sharingan is not weak."
The strength of Haori's Sharingan was quite decent, even though he had only awakened it not long ago.
Moreover, because he had a method for practicing Yin Release, the rate at which his eyes improved was not slow.
Yet he still felt that such a speed was far from meeting his requirements.
After all, he intended to be a rebel; without powerful strength to support him, how could he possibly feel at ease?
Furthermore, Uchiha Fugaku was someone who possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, and this old schemer in particular had almost never shown what his ocular technique was.
Intelligence was absolutely critical; with intelligence, one could make necessary preparations, thereby making victory much simpler.
"However, he seemed to have used a technique similar to Tsukuyomi on his precious son, to show him the future after the Uchiha seized power?"
Haori seemed to remember such a scene, but he had no idea in his heart whether this was actually an ocular technique.
But he was very clear that no matter what other people's powers were, he had to possess corresponding power himself!
"Let's see what the reward is this time."
Shaking his head, Haori stopped overthinking it, tightened the hoe on his back, and continued his earnest search.
Such a search was boring; in the pitch-black forest, there was only the "rustling" sound of the breeze blowing through the branches.
And the intermittent chirping of birds perched on the branches.
Such a quiet environment seemed peaceful, but Haori always felt a faint sense of unease.
Although he wasn't sure why he felt this way, he was, after all, someone who had been tested by cruel battlefields, and his heart had long since become incredibly strong.
"Even if this damn place has experienced countless wars and countless people have died here."
"I truly don't believe that without Impure World Reincarnation, you lot could still crawl up and bite me!"
Thinking this to himself, Haori continued to explore the surroundings, his scarlet eyes faintly glowing in the dark night.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, when Haori walked out of this forest, he froze in place.
Before him was a huge clearing, and the bright moonlight spilled from the sky onto the ground, making the place look exceptionally magnificent.
Standing here, one only had to look up to see that full moon, as if it were right above his head, within reach.
Under the illumination of the silver moon, Haori's field of vision became even broader, and he unexpectedly discovered that there were traces of chakra here!
"That is... traces of a sealing technique?"
Seeing this, although Haori's heart was filled with doubts, a hint of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.
He had been searching for so long without any discoveries, and now that he had finally seen some clues, it was worth being happy about, regardless of what it was.
But he was also very confused; if this sealing technique was truly the target he was looking for.
Then what kind of deep hatred must there be to seal someone even after they were dead, ensuring they would never appear again?
"A hundred years ago, there didn't seem to be Impure World Reincarnation, right?"
Haori couldn't help but complain internally, but regardless, he had made a discovery, so he naturally wouldn't miss it.
Walking over quickly, Haori's eyes began to scan these sealing techniques.
The sealing techniques here were very ancient, and such a design was something Haori had never seen before.
However, Haori could determine that this sealing jutsu had been left here for at least a century!
"Regardless of whether it is or not, I'll open it first and see."
To confirm it, he had to open it first.
Fortunately, the seal before him had weathered many storms, even if it could still be maintained for who knows how many years.
But as long as he found the nodes of the seal and damaged them slightly, the seal would become completely ineffective!
"It's fortunate that I previously obtained a reward for sealing jutsu, and I also have the Sharingan."
Thinking this to himself, Haori extended his finger, and azure chakra swirled around his fingertip.
His eyes scanned the seal before him constantly, and before long, his finger pointed instantly at a specific spot on the seal.
In an instant, the seal began to stall, and then it began to shatter!
The radiance of the shattering seal scattered in all directions, and soon, this light merged into the moonlight and dissipated completely before his eyes.
Watching this scene, Haori nodded slightly, just as he had expected.
"Now then..."
Time to dig a grave!
Splitting off a Shadow Clone and swinging picks and shovels, Haori began to quickly dig up the soil in this place.
He was absolutely full of energy right now; if he had dug up the right grave, he could complete his mission!
Although it was a figure from a century ago, being defined as the Uchiha Ultimate Weapon meant that, no matter how you looked at it, they were extremely formidable.
They might even be someone who had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan!
"I wonder what the reward will be this time. It wouldn't make me obtain his eyes, would it?"
Haori thought secretly to himself, though he knew such a thing was unlikely.
Besides, he didn't need someone else's eyes; he could improve his own strength through Zhuo Er Bu Fan.
If he could obtain this person's ocular power, or their abilities related to the eyes, that would be enough for Haori!
"It would be best if it were a portion of Yin Release power, as that could accelerate the growth of my eyes."
Haori muttered in his heart, and the speed of his hands began to increase.
As he dug deeper and deeper, he finally unearthed something resembling a coffin.
Moreover, on this coffin, he clearly detected traces of sealing jutsu; it was evident that this was connected to the sealing jutsu on the ground.
"It seems this should be the place."
Looking at the coffin before him, Haori suppressed the excitement in his heart and then reached out his hand, intending to open it.
He really wanted to see just how terrifying this person, who was peerless a century ago and forced the Senju to unite with other clans to launch a sneak attack, truly was.
"Also, I want to see what else you left behind."
Thinking this, Haori flipped the lid of the coffin open, but the moment the coffin was completely revealed, he froze.
"This... this is..."
Haori stared blankly at everything before him, because inside the coffin, there were no ghastly white bones as he had imagined.
Instead, there was only a young girl, dressed in a traditional Uchiha robe with her eyes tightly shut, who looked about his own age!
"This... this is the Uchiha Ultimate Weapon?"
Haori really couldn't keep his composure at this moment; this was completely different from what he had imagined!
However, just as he was staring blankly at the girl, she suddenly opened her eyes.
That flash of scarlet appeared even more eerie under the silver moonlight, and her gaze also looked toward Haori at this very moment.
