Tsukuyomi: Reality

Within this domain, Uchiha Jun could control everything—time, space, mass, matter. If Uchiha Jun wanted, he could even expend his eye power to handcraft a CPU!

But maintaining this field comes at a huge cost.

Just distorting reality and letting the Dōjutsu cover the real world for three days consumes enough eye power to ruin a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan!

The good news is that, thanks to Orochimaru and Tobirama Senju's modifications, the power of the Large Mangekyo can be supplemented by fusing it with a regular Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

It doesn't necessarily have to be Mangekyo.

The bad news is that there is a significant difference in eye power between the Mangekyo and the Mitsudomoe. Replenishing eye power once requires consuming as many as thirty pairs of Mitsudomoe, bringing the cost directly to 500 million.

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Jun slowly raised his right hand.

'Can the normal state cover an area the size of an entire football field? And in an extreme state, could it Rainbow Transformation like the ' Ghost Domain ' in the mystery of resurrection?!'

Feeling the abundant eye power within his body and the absolute control over everything in the surrounding space, Uchiha Jun thought to himself.

If you want to do it, then do it.

Let me see where your limits are, Mangekyo!

"Snap--"

A snap of fingers rang out.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible wave spread out in all directions from Uchiha Jun as the center!

Buzz--

The wave pierced through the cabin walls, the fortress's steel shell, and the clouds, spreading across the entire world.

The birds circling in the sky suddenly froze.

They remained in a wing-spreading posture, like specimens frozen in amber, suspended motionless in mid-air, as if time had stopped flowing at this moment.

"Suck----!!"

With a surge of pupil energy, the entire group inside the laboratory appeared outside the Sky Fortress in the next instant!

"This! Chun-jun, what are you planning to test?"

Orochimaru was also within the Tsukuyomi Domain that Uchiha Jun had just activated. Looking at everything around him, and realizing that he was in mid-air and that the patrolling Sky Fortress was moving away, Orochimaru looked somewhat surprised and spoke up.

Uchiha Hikari, Hiruko, Tobirama Senju, who were standing to the side, also looked at Uchiha Jun with puzzled expressions.

You'll find out soon enough.

As soon as Uchiha Jun finished speaking, the entire Tsukuyomi Space began to shrink rapidly into a relatively narrow rectangle, and the next moment, everyone's figures appeared several kilometers away!

Before anyone could react, their positions changed again in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, everyone seemed to merge into the light and shadow, sprinting forward at high speed!

"This... this is Space–Time Ninjutsu? No, it's using the Tsukuyomi Space to distort the real world, distorting space to achieve spatial displacement!"

"This speed is even faster than the Flying Thunder God!"

"Truly a gifted combat mindset."

Tobirama Senju, who had some knowledge of Space–Time Ninjutsu, quickly realized what Uchiha Jun was doing. While surprised, he also looked down at the world below.

Seeing this, the others also looked down.

The next moment, everyone gasped in shock. The Sky Fortress had already reached the sea and was expected to arrive over the Land of Water tomorrow.

But as everyone looked down, vast stretches of primeval forest receded rapidly beneath their feet, and the pale yellow expanse on the edge of their vision was expanding at a visible speed—that was the iconic desert of the Land of Wind!

It was clearly the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind!

"In just a few dozen seconds, we traversed thousands of kilometers..." Hiruko's voice was somewhat dry.

"This speed has surpassed the comprehension of ordinary people."

Uchiha Hikari stood at the edge of the Tsukuyomi Space, his crimson Mangekyō Sharingan fixed on the rapidly passing ground below, his heart churning with turbulent emotions.

She herself possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan Mangekyō Sharingan is well aware of its limits.

But what she was seeing before her—using Tsukuyomi Space as a mobile vessel to carry multiple people on long-distance spatial jumps—was far beyond her understanding of the Sharingan.

"Jun-kun..." Orochimaru licked his lips, his snake-like eyes gleaming with excitement.

"If this mobility is applied to Sky Fortress, the entire Shinobi World will lose its concept of strategic depth. Our troops can reach any battlefield in any country in a very short time."

"Theoretically, it's feasible," Uchiha Jun said calmly, his voice carrying a hint of composure as if he were in complete control.

"However, expanding the Tsukuyomi Domain to a level sufficient to cover an army would consume dozens of times more ocular power than it does now."

"Until the problem of pupil power is resolved, this plan can only remain on paper."

Uchiha Jun paused, then looked down.

"However—before that, we seem to have encountered an unexpected test subject."

Everyone followed his gaze and looked down.

Below, in the desolate desert, a sandstorm was raging, blotting out the sky!

Yellow sand filled the sky, and the wind howled. In the sandstorm, a huge black shadow could be vaguely seen twisting wildly and emitting deafening roars.

The roar was filled with boundless anger and violence.

One after another, incredibly solid air cannons shot into the sky, and amidst the swirling yellow sand, there were surprisingly large amounts of Gold Dust, gleaming brilliantly under the sunlight.

"That's... One-Tails!" Tobirama Senju's Shukaku narrowed, a hint of seriousness flashing in his crimson gaze. "And it looks like it's in a completely berserk state."

The ranking of the Nine Tailed Beasts is not determined by their tails alone, but by the fact that the ninja personally participated in the capture of the Tailed Beasts.

Tobirama Senju knew that if Shukaku were in a desert environment, its fighting power would definitely surpass that of Tailed Beasts like the Six-Tails and Seven-Tails.

"Someone is trying to suppress it," Uchiha Hikari added.

Upon closer inspection, everyone indeed detected several faint Chakra fluctuations at the edge of the sandstorm.

Although the Chakra was weak, it was extremely resilient, like a reef in the tide, remaining unmoved by Shukaku's ferocious attacks.

One of the Chakra was particularly striking.

It was a Magnet Release Chakra with a heavy, oppressive feel, which resonated strangely with the surrounding sandstorm, as if it were controlling the raging Gold Dust and trying to bind Shukaku.

"The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa." Orochimaru slowly uttered the name, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "He's dealing with the One-Tails's rampage... It seems something's wrong with Bunpuku, the Jinchuriki of Sunagakure."

Uchiha Jun's gaze swept back and forth between Rasa and Shukaku, as if he were examining two prey waiting to be slaughtered.

"Perfect."

Uchiha Jun raised his right hand, his five fingers loosely clenched, Tsukuyomi Space began to slowly descend.

"The Chakra the One-Tails Shukaku, and the Kekkei Genkai sample of the Fourth Kazekage —I was originally planning to retrieve these two items later, but since they've come to me of their own accord, I might as well accept them."

Orochimaru's eyes lit up. "What Jun-kun means is..."

"Go down and say hello."

As soon as Uchiha Jun finished speaking, the Tsukuyomi Space suddenly accelerated, like a falling meteor, swooping down from the sky!

In the desert, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, hovered in mid-air, his face terrifyingly gloomy.

"Magnet Release · Gold Dust Grand Burial!"

Rasa continuously Hand Seals, manipulating large swaths of golden sand to construct layer upon layer of sealing barriers around Shukaku.

The golden sand, like living things, kept wriggling and contracting, trying to completely bind Shukaku's enormous body.

But Shukaku's rampage far exceeded his expectations.

"Damn it... Bunpuku, he was clearly on his deathbed, why didn't he tell me beforehand?!"

Rasa gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, his Chakra output had reached its limit.

The Wind Shadow Guard behind him were in even worse shape. Several Jonin to maintain the defensive barrier, struggling to hold on under Shukaku's relentless bombardment. Several of them were bleeding from their noses and mouths, clearly at their limit.

"Lord Kazekage! Shukaku's rampage is escalating! We can't hold on much longer!"

A Jonin from the Wind Shadow Guard screamed, his voice filled with despair.

Rasa did not answer, because he knew that saying anything at this moment would be of no use.

He had no choice but to persevere.

The large quantities of Gold Dust that had been buried underground were moved here, triggering a large-scale Gold Dust Grand Burial, and Shukaku was sealed in a pre-prepared container.

Otherwise, the entire Sunagakure would be reduced to ruins in this disaster.

Just then--

"Boom!!!"

An invisible force, like the sky collapsing, crashed down from the sky!

The power was so immense and vast that everyone present, including Shukaku, felt their breath being completely taken away in that instant!

The sandstorm has stopped.

The swirling yellow sand seemed to be held down by an invisible hand, stopping abruptly a few meters above the ground, as if time had been frozen in mid-air.

Shukaku's roar also stopped.

The enormous, sand-formed raccoon monster remained frozen in place, its gaping maw still open, like a specimen sealed in amber.

Rasa's pupils suddenly contracted.

He suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky.

There, a figure was slowly descending.

It was a young man dressed in a black robe, with black hair and black eyes, a cold and stern face, and a faint crimson aura surrounding him.

Behind him were four other people— Orochimaru, Tobirama Senju, Uchiha Hikari, Hiruko.

But Rasa's gaze was fixed only on the young man at the very front.

The oppressive aura emanating from this young man was more terrifying than all the others present combined.

Who... are you?

Rasa's voice was somewhat hoarse, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

He recognized Orochimaru, but at this moment, this Fourth Hokage, who had once struck fear into the hearts of countless ninjas during the Ninja War, was one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.

At this moment, however, he stood behind the young man like an attendant, even lagging behind by half a body length.

What does this tell us?

This means that this young man is stronger than Orochimaru!

Who... are you?

Rasa's voice was somewhat hoarse, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

"Uchiha Jun."

Uchiha Jun spoke clearly, yet his voice entered the ears of everyone present with perfect clarity, as if it were resounding directly in their minds.

"Konoha's Grand Advisor?!"

Uchiha Jun?

Konoha's Grand Advisor?!

Rasa's heart sank.

He had certainly heard of that name.

In the past six months, this name has stirred up a huge wave throughout the Shinobi World —the mastermind behind the Eight-Tails Rampage, the one who fought against three Kage Level powerhouses, the one who moved between three battlefields, the one who orchestrated a major reshuffle of Konoha High Command, and the one who forced the Third Hokage to abdicate early and hand over the Hokage Position to Orochimaru.

Legend has it that this man possesses terrifying power comparable to Madara Uchiha, the Asura of the Ninja World of the Warring States Era.

Rasa initially thought these rumors were just a smokescreen deliberately exaggerated by Konoha to intimidate the other four great ninja villages.

But now, when he actually faced Uchiha Jun, he realized that those rumors were not only not exaggerated, but actually conservative!

"Uchiha Jun ..." Rasa suppressed the shock in his heart and said in a deep voice, "This is the territory of the Land of Wind, not a place for you. Please leave immediately, and I can pretend nothing happened."

"Otherwise, it will be considered that Konoha Sunagakure!"

"Leave?"

Uchiha Jun smiled, a hint of amusement in his smile, as if he had heard some incredibly funny joke.

Uchiha Jun raised his right hand, his five fingers pointing towards Rasa in a loose fist.

"I need your cooperation to conduct a small experiment."

Rasa's pupils suddenly contracted!

His instinct was to retreat, to use Ninjutsu, to create distance—

But he found himself unable to move.

It wasn't that his body was bound, nor that he was controlled by Genjutsu, but rather—he could clearly perceive his own body, feel his heartbeat and breathing, and even feel the tangible sensation of Chakra flowing through his meridians, but he simply couldn't control any part of his body, not even a finger, not even the movement of an eyeball!

It was as if his body no longer belonged to him.

"What... what did you do?!"

A hint of fear finally crept into Rasa's voice.

"It's nothing, I just wanted you to have some peace and quiet for a while."

Uchiha Jun spoke calmly, his voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

In the next instant, Uchiha Jun teleported in front of Rasa.

He reached out and patted Rasa on the shoulder.

Immediately afterwards, Rasa felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and lost consciousness.

Looking again, I saw that my left arm was severed at the root, but the cut was clean and smooth. There was no blood splattering and I felt no pain at all!

' Genjutsu?! When?!'

Rasa cried out in alarm, but he was unable to use any of his methods.

"The Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai... is indeed quite unique."

Uchiha Jun muttered to himself as he retracted one of his arms.

He glanced at Rasa's severed arm, and the next moment, the severed arm began to regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye. In no time, a complete arm reappeared on Rasa's left arm.

'What is he trying to do?!'

Seeing his severed arm returned, Rasa felt no joy; on the contrary, he was annoyed by this almost foolish act.

However, the next moment, Rasa's anger vanished, not because he forgave Uchiha Jun, but because Rasa felt an unprecedented sense of weakness surge up.

It felt like the exhaustion of fighting for seven days and seven nights without water or sleep, only eating Military Rations Pill, as if you would suddenly die at any moment!

Uchiha Jun ignored the despairing Rasa, turned around, and looked at Shukaku, who was frozen in place, his gaze sharpening.

"Next, it's your turn."

He raised his right hand, aimed it at Shukaku's massive body, and made a sword gesture with his index and middle fingers, drawing a line in the air.

The next second, Shukaku's massive body, made of yellow sand and runes, collapsed with a roar!

A giant tail shot into the sky and landed beside Uchiha Jun.

"Old Wu-- "

Shukaku let out a frustrated roar—it wanted to struggle, to resist, to blast the human who dared to cut off its tail with a Tailed Beast Ball.

But it didn't work.

In the Tsukuyomi Domain, Uchiha Jun is a god.

Everything about Shukaku has been imprisoned.

Rasa's pupils, which were standing to the side, had shrunk to the size of pinpoints.

Shukaku, a creature powerful enough to destroy an army in the desert, couldn't even last a second against Uchiha Jun.

What... what kind of monster is this?!

After storing the One-Tails Beast's massive tail into a container, Uchiha Jun turned to look at Orochimaru and the others.

Let's go.

--Transform into Rainbow Transformation!

The next moment, Uchiha Jun and the others transformed into a streak of red light, soared into the sky, and disappeared into the clouds.

After leaving the Tsukuyomi Domain, Rasa and the others, who were still standing there, did not immediately discuss what had just happened. Instead, they stood there in a daze, and soon after, they, along with the bald- One-Tails Shukaku, fell into a coma.

He fell into the yellow sand.

Return to the airspace Sky Fortress.

"Jun-kun, you just contacted Rasa to test whether the Tsukuyomi Space has the ability to modify memories, right?"

Amidst the red light, Orochimaru spoke to Uchiha Jun. Based on his understanding of Uchiha Jun, Uchiha Jun was always the type to act rather than speak unless necessary.

As for Rasa and One-Tails Beast, who could be dealt with casually on the roadside, Uchiha Jun's appearance and words were somewhat superfluous.

The only explanation is that Uchiha Jun wanted to test whether the Tsukuyomi Space could alter other people's memories!

"Yes, I just tested it out."

Uchiha Jun nodded, not denying it.

"Oh?! And what was the result?"

Orochimaru's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and his desire for the Mangekyo intensified.

It can transform into a streak of red light and travel thousands of miles in an instant. Now it can even modify memories. I never thought that the Mangekyo could do this!

"It can be modified, but it consumes a huge amount of ocular power, roughly equivalent to the ocular power of a pair of ordinary Mangekyo."

"The principle is to access the cerebral cortex through pupil power, inject a large amount of information in a short period of time, trigger the brain's instinctive protective mechanism, and then modify the target brain region."

"Only recent memories can be modified."

"Furthermore, I also tested the Fourth Kazekage Rasa. Limb regeneration under the Tsukuyomi Space can indeed achieve an effect similar to Izanagi, but the eye power consumed is no less than that of Izanagi."

"The solution is to utilize the target's own internal substances, combining the real and the virtual, which can significantly reduce the consumption of pupil power."

Uchiha Jun explained, while simultaneously using the convenience of the Tsukuyomi Space to divide Rasa's arm into segments of biological genetic tissue.

That's still amazing.

Orochimaru remarked with emotion.

Uchiha Jun did not deny it, but instead inquired about the progress of the other Large Mangekyo that should house Amaterasu.

Orochimaru was about to speak when a steady voice came from the depths of the red light first:

"That Amaterasu Mangekyo has entered the final stage of fusion."

It was Tobirama Senju who spoke.

He stood with his arms crossed at the edge of the red light, his scarlet eyes reflecting the rapidly passing clouds below, a rare look of satisfaction on his face.

"While you were testing the Tsukuyomi Mangekyo, Hiruko on the fusion process of the Amaterasu Mangekyo."

Hiruko stepped forward from the side, adjusted his glasses, and took over the conversation:

"Boss, according to the plan designed by Orochimaru and the Second Hokage, the fusion process of Amaterasu Mangekyo is much more complicated than that of Tsukuyomi Mangekyo."

"The core ability of Tsukuyomi Mangekyo is to 'overwrite reality and rewrite the rules.' Its integration focuses on programming at the level of mental power—in other words, it teaches the Mangekyo how to 'deceive' reality."

"The core ability of the Amaterasu Mangekyo is 'burning everything and erasing existence.' Its fusion focuses on the compression and detonation of the eye power level—to make the eye power inside the Mangekyo reach a mass threshold sufficient to burn through space."

"This threshold is extremely demanding. It requires compressing a massive amount of pupil power to its limit and then detonating it in a very small space to form a stable 'incineration' reaction. If the compression is not done properly, the entire Mangekyo will explode during the fusion process."

At this point, Hiruko, a smile appearing on his face, "However, it seems that our plan has been successful."

"The compression of the eye power inside the Amaterasu Mangekyo has reached 97% of the theoretical value. At the current rate, it should have been almost fully integrated during the time you were testing the Tsukuyomi Mangekyo."

Upon hearing Uchiha Jun's expression brightened with joy.

"So, if we go back now, we can see a complete Amaterasu Mangekyo that can be used in actual combat?"

"Theoretically, yes."

Tobirama Senju nodded, a hint of seriousness and anticipation flashing in his eyes. "However, I must warn you in advance—the power of the Amaterasu Mangekyo is far more violent than that of the Tsukuyomi Mangekyo."

"If you are not mentally prepared, you may be devoured by the all-consuming will the moment Amaterasu Mangekyo is activated."

After listening, Uchiha Jun remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, his voice carrying an undeniable firmness:

"Don't worry, Second Hokage."

"If I can tame Tsukuyomi, I can tame Amaterasu."

As they talked, the crimson stream of light that Tsukuyomi Space had already passed through the last cloud layer, and ahead—the enormous Sky Fortress floating above the sea of clouds—was clearly visible.

Bathed in the setting sun, the fortress's silhouette gleamed with golden light, resembling a majestic and solemn divine city suspended in the sky.
