Deterrence

"If the Otsutsuki Clan realizes we have pinpointed their home planet, they will become wary," Uchiha Ying Yue continued. "We can establish a relationship of 'mutually assured destruction' between the Ninja World and the Otsutsuki Clan. They will face the risk of being discovered and annihilated by more powerful interstellar civilizations, and we can leverage this to ensure they dare not easily invade the Ninja World."

Orochimaru wore a meaningful smile, brimming with interest. "A truly ingenious strategy, Lord Ying Yue. I shall lead the Science Department to achieve a breakthrough in cosmic broadcasting technology as soon as possible to encode the coordinates of the Otsutsuki Home Planet. Once we broadcast it, the Otsutsuki Clan will never be able to hide their home planet again."

Uchiha Ying Yue nodded, saying with satisfaction, "Very good. From this moment on, the Dark Forest Plan is officially established. All scientific research resources are to be prioritized for this project to ensure the successful completion of the cosmic broadcast."

With Uchiha Ying Yue's support, Orochimaru's Science Department threw themselves into the research of cosmic broadcasting technology.

As the technology of the Ninja World reached new heights, the design and construction of the cosmic broadcasting equipment gradually took shape.

Uchiha Ying Yue's scientific team worked day and night to build a high-power transmitter based on the Aerospace Mothership system, oriented toward the sun, capable of covering the deepest reaches of the universe with its signal.

Orochimaru continuously refined the details of the equipment, striving to ensure the stable transmission of information.

They precisely encoded the coordinates of the Otsutsuki Home Planet, embedding them into the broadcast signal in a complex manner to ensure that once transmitted, it would be known to other civilizations in the universe.

This signal would radiate from the Ninja World into the vast universe; any interstellar civilization that received it would know the location of the Otsutsuki Clan's home planet.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Ying Yue set the conditions for release: if the Otsutsuki Clan launched another invasion of the Ninja World, threatening its safety, he would not hesitate to initiate the cosmic broadcast and expose the coordinates of their home planet.

This move would be a fatal threat to the Otsutsuki Clan, forcing them to face the scrutiny and strikes of other civilizations in the universe.

When the imprisoned members of the Otsutsuki Clan learned of Uchiha Ying Yue's plan, shock and fury intertwined in their eyes.

Momoshiki roared, "You dare threaten our Otsutsuki Clan? Do you have any idea what consequences you will bring upon yourself?"

Uchiha Ying Yue responded calmly, "Perhaps you consider yourselves powerful, but that does not mean the Ninja World will sit idly by. You know full well what kind of disaster would befall you if your home planet were exposed to the universe. As long as you no longer pose a threat to the Ninja World, this plan will not be implemented."

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki looked at Uchiha Ying Yue, a hint of gloom in his eyes. "You will pay the price for your arrogance, Ying Yue."

Uchiha Ying Yue smiled slightly, his eyes cold. "Then let us try. As long as you offend again, the universe shall become your enemy."

From then on, a delicate relationship of deterrence formed between the Ninja World and the Otsutsuki Clan.

The Otsutsuki Clan could not easily use the power of their home planet to invade the Ninja World, while Uchiha Ying Yue firmly grasped the initiative in negotiations through the Dark Forest Plan.

The peace of the Ninja World was further consolidated, and Uchiha Ying Yue's existence ensured the long-term security of the entire Ninja World.

With the implementation of the Dark Forest Plan, Uchiha Ying Yue brought the future of the Ninja World into the realm of interstellar politics.

Uchiha Ying Yue did not slacken; he continued to lead the Ninja World toward a higher form of civilization, constantly expanding the power of the Aerospace Mothership, exploring the unknown universe, and mastering more advanced technology.

Within the Kara base of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, Uchiha Ying Yue unexpectedly obtained the cells of the pinnacle of the Otsutsuki Clan—the God of Otsutsuki, Otsutsuki Shibai.

Uchiha Ying Yue handed these cells to Orochimaru and other top scientists for in-depth research, eventually mastering the two legendary divine arts of Otsutsuki Shibai: Reflection and Omnipotence.

Omnipotence can manifest anything, turning one's thoughts into reality.

Reflection allows one to attack enemies with intent; any attack or killing intent directed at him is completely rebounded, with the power increasing in proportion to the intensity of the killing intent.

However, the condition is that one's palm must touch the other person's body to activate this skill.

Possessing these two divine arts, Uchiha Ying Yue's power rose to a new level, faintly surpassing the peak of the Six Paths level, and even becoming capable of rivaling the strongest of the Otsutsuki Clan.

As Uchiha Ying Yue's strength grew daily, the Dark Forest Plan also gradually neared completion under the efforts of Orochimaru and the Science Department.

The cosmic broadcasting equipment had been assembled and subjected to multiple tests.

With the continuous calibration of the equipment, Uchiha Ying Yue was finally ready to launch the plan.

This broadcast would make the Otsutsuki Clan realize that if they continued their aggressive actions against the Ninja World, their home planet would be exposed in the universe, followed by the destructive threat from other interstellar civilizations.

Uchiha Ying Yue knew clearly that with the deterrence of the Dark Forest Plan, the security of the Ninja World would be guaranteed as never before, and he himself would hold the upper hand in negotiations with the Otsutsuki Clan.

Since there was no sufficient power to destroy them directly, using deterrence and negotiation might be the best result he could secure for the Ninja World.

Because the communication methods of the Otsutsuki Clan far exceeded those of the Ninja World, Uchiha Ying Yue decided to use the captured Otsutsuki members—Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki—as mediums for negotiation.

Uchiha Ying Yue said to Momoshiki and the others, "I have already mastered the location of your home planet. Unless you are willing to coexist peacefully with the Ninja World, I will initiate the Dark Forest Plan and expose your planet's location. At that time, the threat from other powerful civilizations in the universe will be something you cannot withstand."

His words were devoid of emotion, calm and certain, revealing an invisible sense of oppression.

Though Momoshiki and the others could barely move under Uchiha Ying Yue's pressure, they remained calm. "Do you think you can achieve peace by threatening us?"

Uchiha Ying Yue remained unmoved and said calmly, "I know your strength, but your home planet may not necessarily know what I am capable of. Once we initiate the Dark Forest Plan, it will be the mutual destruction of the Otsutsuki Home Planet and the Ninja World."

Under Uchiha Ying Yue's hardline rhetoric, Momoshiki and the others began to waver. Gradually, they agreed to the conditions proposed by Uchiha Ying Yue: to use their special communication methods to contact the main family on the Otsutsuki Home Planet and initiate negotiations.

After a long wait, the Otsutsuki Clan finally entered into negotiations with Uchiha Ying Yue.

During the talks, Uchiha Ying Yue stated bluntly that if the Otsutsuki Clan continued to maintain its past aggressive strategy, the Ninja World would spare no cost to initiate the Dark Forest Plan and expose the location of their home planet.

However, Uchiha Ying Yue did not want to keep the future of the Ninja World at odds with the Otsutsuki Home Planet.

Uchiha Ying Yue proposed a reasonable condition—peaceful coexistence.
