Ancestral Land Stone Tablet Reveals Truth, Three-Color Resonance Breaks Demonic Obstruction
The moonlight of the Uchiha ancestral grounds spilled through the broken walls and ruins onto the forbidden stele, casting a cold, silvery glow. Sasuke sat cross-legged before the stele, Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan hovering above his palm as the golden Power of the Fire Seed slowly infused into it through his fingertips. The runes on the surface of the stele writhed like living creatures, echoing the patterns within Shisui's eye and emitting a faint, rhythmic humming.
Obito stood not far away, the fluctuations of the Kamui dimension flickering around him. He watched Sasuke's focused profile, his fingers unconsciously rubbing his own Sharingan. "On the night of the clan's annihilation, when I found this eye in the ruins, it still held traces of Shisui's chakra. It seems he had long anticipated that the Void Realm would return."
Su Ye's Rinne Sharingan rotated slowly, a pale purple light enveloping the entire forbidden area. On the ground, countless minute runes emerged from the gaps in the masonry, connecting with the runes on the stele to form a massive array. "These runes are the Spatial Mark left behind by the Uchiha ancestor, Chiba. If I am not mistaken, the entire ancestral ground is a colossal sealing array, and the stele is the eye of the formation."
No sooner had he spoken than Sasuke let out a muffled groan. Shisui's eye erupted with blinding golden light, and a golden phantom emerged from it—it was Uchiha Shisui himself. He wore his Anbu uniform and carried his familiar, gentle smile, yet his gaze was exceptionally grave. "Sasuke, Su Ye, Obito. I am relieved to see you all."
"Senior Shisui!" Sasuke stood up abruptly, the golden Power of the Fire Seed surging uncontrollably.
Shisui's phantom reached out to press down on his shoulder, his strength gentle yet carrying an irresistible majesty. "Do not be agitated. This is merely a fragment of consciousness I left within the eye; it cannot last long. I must tell you a secret—the leader of the Void Realm, named 'Chiba Gen', is the twin brother of the Uchiha ancestor, Chiba."
This news struck like a thunderbolt, leaving the three of them stunned. Obito's Kamui dimension fluctuated violently, nearly exposing his position. "A twin brother? But there has never been any such record in the ancient Uchiha texts."
"Because this is Chiba's greatest secret." Shisui's phantom sighed, his gaze shifting to the stele. "Back then, Chiba and Gen accidentally stumbled into the Void Realm together. To compete for the chance to return to the ninja world, the two turned against each other. Chiba paid the price of half his bloodline to obtain the power of space, but he was also afflicted with the Void Curse by Gen. After returning to the ninja world, he set this seal specifically to prevent Gen from using the Uchiha bloodline to open the gates of the Void Realm."
Su Ye's Rinne Sharingan suddenly pulsed violently, the pale purple light piercing through the ground to reveal the scene beneath the ancestral grounds—countless dark golden chains were wrapped around a mass of black mist, within which a pair of scarlet eyes could be vaguely discerned. "There is something underground."
Shisui's phantom nodded, his expression growing even more solemn. "That is a wisp of Gen's remnant soul. On the night of the annihilation, he used this remnant soul to control several Root ninja while simultaneously draining the Void power from within me. Now, his remnant soul is absorbing the chakra of the ancestral grounds; once it fully awakens, it will be able to establish a connection with his true body outside and completely break the seal."
Naruto arrived in a rush, cloaked in Nine-Tails chakra. The moment he stepped into the forbidden area, the Nine-Tails let out an angry roar. "Such a familiar dark aura. This guy almost dragged me into the Void Realm back then!"
"The Nine-Tails has also met Gen?" Sasuke asked in surprise.
The Nine-Tails' voice echoed in everyone's minds. "A long time ago, he attempted to seize my Tailed Beast origin, but was stopped by the First Hokage. I never expected him to be hiding in the Uchiha ancestral grounds."
Shisui's phantom looked at the four of them, a trace of resolve flashing in his eyes. "To stop Gen, you must awaken the ultimate protective power of the stele. The key to this awakening is the fusion of the three of your chakras. But this fusion is far more dangerous than the last; if you are even slightly careless, you will be devoured by the Void power."
Su Ye clenched his fists, his Rinne Sharingan flashing with a determined light. "For the sake of the ninja world, we have no path of retreat."
Sasuke and Naruto nodded in unison. The three stood at three different points around the stele, and Su Ye's Rinne power, Sasuke's Fire Seed power, and Naruto's Tailed Beast power converged toward the stele like three colored pillars of light. Obito activated Kamui, casting a spatial barrier around them to prevent the fused power from leaking out.
As the three types of chakra touched the stele, the ground suddenly shook violently. The broken walls and ruins of the ancestral grounds flew into the air, forming a massive rune. The dark golden chains underground began to snap, and within the black mist, Gen's remnant soul let out an angry roar. "Shisui, you dare to ruin my plans!"
A pillar of black light shot out from the mist, blasting toward the four of them. Shisui's phantom raised his hand, and golden chakra formed a barrier. "Quick, continue the fusion! I cannot hold on for much longer!"
Su Ye and the others immediately increased their chakra output. Pale purple, golden, and orange-yellow chakras intertwined, forming a massive three-colored vortex above the stele. The vortex spun faster and faster, the surrounding space began to distort, and countless ancient runes emerged from within the vortex.
Seeing this, Gen's remnant soul roared. The black mist condensed into a massive claw, tearing through Shisui's barrier. Shisui's phantom became transparent, his voice growing increasingly faint. "Remember, at the critical moment of fusion, you must trust one another. Only through complete trust can you control the protective power." As his words faded, Shisui's phantom dissipated completely.
The black claw swiped toward Su Ye and the others. Obito immediately activated Kamui, transferring the three of them inside a spatial barrier. However, Gen's remnant soul was incredibly fast, and the black mist slipped through the spatial seams of Kamui, penetrating the barrier. Su Ye channeled Samsara: Banshō Ten'in, forcibly drawing the black mist into his Rinnegan. Yet, the Void power contained within the mist instantly eroded his meridians. Su Ye let out a muffled groan, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"Su Ye!" Sasuke and Naruto shouted simultaneously.
Su Ye shook his head, enduring the pain. "Don't worry about me, continue the fusion." He channeled his Rinne power to temporarily suppress the Void power. Sasuke and Naruto exchanged a glance and increased their chakra output. The three-colored vortex expanded once more, all the runes on the stele lit up, and a massive golden pillar of light shot out from the stele, piercing the heavens.
Gen's remnant soul let out a shrill, mournful roar. The black mist was enveloped by the golden pillar of light and began to dissipate gradually. But at that moment, a violent tremor came from the outside world. Cracks appeared in Obito's Kamui dimension, and the voice of Gen's true body came through the fissures. "It is useless. The seal has already loosened; my army will soon set foot in the ninja world."
A dark golden beam of light shot in through the cracks, striking Gen's remnant soul. The power of the remnant soul surged instantly, and the black mist condensed once more, forming a massive figure. "Now, let me show you the true power of the Void Realm!"
Gen's remnant soul raised his hand, and countless black chains shot out from the ground, winding toward Su Ye and the others. The Nine-Tails roared, and a Tailed Beast Bomb condensed, blasting toward the chains. But the chains seemed to have a life of their own, dodging the Tailed Beast Bomb and continuing their advance.
A flash of realization crossed Su Ye's eyes. "His target is our chakra. Quick, pour all your chakra into the vortex!"
The three immediately complied. The three-colored vortex erupted with dazzling light, and the golden pillar became even more brilliant. The pillar struck Gen's remnant soul, and the black mist began to dissipate rapidly. Gen's remnant soul let out a roar of unwillingness. "I will not admit defeat! Next time we meet, I will destroy you with my own hands!" As the words fell, the remnant soul dissipated completely.
The tremors in the ancestral grounds gradually ceased. The runes on the stele slowly dimmed, and a golden scroll flew out from the stele, landing in Su Ye's hand. The scroll contained the ultimate ninjutsu left behind by the Uchiha ancestor, Chiba—"Three-Color Rinne Void Seal."
"This is..." Su Ye opened the scroll, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Sasuke stepped forward, looking at the text on the scroll. "This is a ninjutsu specifically designed to counter Gen. It requires the complete fusion of our three chakras to activate."
Naruto scratched his head and said with a smile, "Looks like we've got another trump card."
Obito put away his Kamui, a long-lost smile appearing on his face. "With this move, the next time we encounter Gen, we will surely be able to defeat him."
But at that moment, Tsunade's voice came through a summoning jutsu, her tone filled with anxiety. "Su Ye, Sasuke, Naruto. It's bad! Spatial rifts have appeared simultaneously along the borders of the Five Great Nations, and countless Demon Eater Lords and Gen's subordinates are assaulting the defensive lines. The Raikage and Killer B are already struggling to hold on!"
The expressions of the four changed drastically. Su Ye put away the scroll, his gaze grave. "It seems Gen has already begun his move. We must head out to support them immediately."
When the four arrived at the border of the Land of Fire, the sight before them was chilling. Countless Demon Eater Lords and Void Soldiers clad in dark golden armor were crazily assaulting the Allied Forces' defensive line. The Raikage's Lightning Style Armor had already developed cracks, and Killer B's Eight-Tails tails had also been eroded by Void power, losing all sensation.
"Raikage! Killer B!" Naruto roared, his Nine-Tails chakra surging as an orange Tailed Beast Bomb condensed and blasted toward the Void Soldiers.
Su Ye channeled his Rinne Sharingan, and his pale purple chakra formed a massive spatial vortex, sucking a large number of Demon Eater Lords into it. Sasuke condensed a golden flame sword, slaying the Void Soldiers approaching the defensive line one by one. Obito activated Kamui, transferring the injured ninja to a safe zone.
Gen's figure appeared above the spatial rift. He looked at the four of them, a mocking curl on his lips. "The Uchiha brat, the inheritor of the Rinnegan, and the Tailed Beast vessel. You were lucky to escape last time, but this time, you won't be so fortunate."
Gen raised his hand, and dark golden chakra condensed into a massive demonic sword, slashing toward the four of them. Su Ye, Sasuke, and Naruto launched their attacks simultaneously. Samsara: Chibaku Tensei, Inferno Style: Flame Control, and the Nine-Tails Tailed Beast Bomb intertwined to form a powerful barrier.
The demonic sword collided with the barrier with a deafening "bang." The massive shockwave sent the four of them flying, blood spraying from their mouths. Gen seized the opportunity to launch an attack, and his dark golden chakra formed countless spatial blades, shooting toward the Allied soldiers.
"No!" Su Ye's pupils shrank. Just as he was about to channel his Rinne power, he felt the Void power within him stir once more. The Void power he had absorbed last time was still eroding his meridians.
Sasuke and Naruto immediately blocked in front of Su Ye. Sasuke's golden flames formed a shield, and Naruto's Tailed Beast chakra condensed into a massive fist, blocking the spatial blades. But Gen's attacks were relentless, and the two of them were soon unable to hold on.
Seeing this, Obito roared. He activated Kamui, merging his body into the dimension as he charged toward Gen. "Su Ye, quick, activate the Three-Color Rinne Void Seal! I will hold him off!"
"Obito!" Su Ye shouted. He knew that Obito doing this was undoubtedly a death sentence.
Gen looked at the charging Obito, a trace of disdain in his eyes. "Overestimating yourself." He raised his hand, and a mass of black mist shot out, striking Obito. Obito's body was instantly eroded by the Void power, and the Kamui dimension began to collapse.
"Quick!" Obito's voice carried a hint of weakness.
Su Ye gritted his teeth, enduring the pain in his meridians. He looked at Sasuke and Naruto, and the three nodded simultaneously. Pale purple, golden, and orange-yellow chakras fused once more, forming a massive three-colored rune above them.
"Three-Color Rinne Void Seal!" the three roared in unison.
The rune transformed into a massive pillar of light, blasting toward Gen. Gen's expression changed drastically, and his dark golden chakra formed a shield. But the power of the pillar far exceeded his expectations, piercing directly through the shield and striking his body. Gen let out a shrill, mournful roar, and his body began to gradually turn transparent. "I will not admit defeat like this! Next time, I will bring the full power of the Void Realm to trample the ninja world!" As the words fell, Gen's body dissipated completely.
The spatial rifts began to close, and as the Demon Eater Lord and the Void Soldiers lost their source of power, they collapsed onto the ground one after another. The Allied Forces soldiers cheered, but the four of them felt not a shred of joy. Obito's body turned transparent as the Kamui dimension completely collapsed: "I am happy to be able to make one last contribution to the ninja world."
Su Ye immediately channeled the power of the Rinnegan, attempting to repair Obito's body. However, the erosion from the Void energy was too severe, and even the power of the Rinnegan was of no avail. Obito looked at the four of them, a faint smile appearing on his face: "Sasuke, take good care of the Uchiha. Naruto, protect Konoha. Su Ye, stop Gen and save the ninja world." As his voice faded, Obito's body dissipated completely.
The four stood in silence, their eyes filled with sorrow. The voice of the Nine-Tails echoed in their minds: "Do not be sad. He bought us time with his own life. We must not let his sacrifice go to waste."
Su Ye clenched his fists, a flash of resolve crossing his eyes: "We will definitely avenge Obito. Gen, the next time we meet will be your death day."
Sasuke and Naruto nodded in unison. The four looked out at the border, which was gradually returning to calm, knowing full well that this war was far from over. Gen's true form was still in the Void Realm, and his army could invade again at any moment.
In the days that followed, the Allied Forces began intensive preparations. Su Ye led a team of space-time ninjutsu experts to repair the spatial barriers along the borders of every nation; Sasuke remained at the Uchiha ancestral grounds to study the Three-Color Rinne Void Seal, attempting to increase the power of the technique; Naruto traveled between the various defensive points of the Allied Forces with the Tailed Beasts to reinforce their defenses; and Tsunade took charge of treating wounded soldiers and consolidating medical resources.
The ninja world had once again entered a state of tense preparation for war. Meanwhile, Su Ye, Sasuke, and Naruto were all waiting for the final showdown with Gen. They knew that this confrontation concerned not only the survival of the ninja world but also whether Obito's sacrifice would ultimately secure a lasting peace.
