Uchiha Kei's Death
As the White Bone Yu's Space-Time Release continued, the glass dome above Uchiha Kei's body began to tremble.
A strange fluctuation slowly seeped into Uchiha Kei's body through the glass cover.
The fluctuations seemed to be manipulated, not damaging his internal organs, but instead converging along his meridians to his chest.
Under the influence of the fluctuations, a power gradually emerged within him.
Uchiha Kei could see it clearly; on his chest, the Taiji diagram, identical to that of the No. 97 white mouse, was becoming increasingly clear.
The ripples flowed slowly across the Tai Chi diagram, carrying a cool and refreshing feeling that made Uchiha Kei very comfortable.
"Wave--"
A faint sound emanated from the Tai Chi diagram.
The originally distinct patterns began to appear blurry as the sound rang out.
Uchiha Kei intently sensed the flow of Space-Time Release.
This is not only a matter of his life, but there's another reason.
The fluctuations generated by Space-Time Release...
It seems to be related to the portal generated by the system's Space-Time Mission...
Consistent fluctuations!
This is the system's power to travel through time!
Uchiha Kei looked at the White Bone Yu outside the glass enclosure with a complicated expression.
Perhaps the yin-yang symbol on Uchiha Kei's chest was far more robust than that of mouse number 97.
For three hours straight, the Tai Chi symbol on his chest only became slightly blurry at first.
White Bone Yu's strength has surpassed the Kage Level, but it's only at the Super Kage Level, far from reaching the Sage of Six Paths level.
The Chakra within her body also has its limits.
Furthermore, the Chakra consumed by Space-Time Release far exceeds that of ordinary Ninjutsu.
Three hours of non-stop work had brought her Chakra to the brink of exhaustion.
Her fair face was now covered in sweat.
Even her bright eyes were shrouded in fatigue.
"It took this long!"
Behind her, Orochimaru was also somewhat surprised.
Breaking Uchiha Kei's seal might be much more difficult than using lab rats.
He and White Bone Yu were already mentally prepared for this.
But after all this time, the seal still has a vague outline, which was something he hadn't expected.
Orochimaru carefully took out a top-grade Military Rations Pill from his pocket and put it into White Bone Yu's mouth.
Two more hours passed.
The yin-yang symbol on Uchiha Kei's chest had completely liquefied and remained blurred and indistinct on his chest.
Lying inside the glass enclosure, Uchiha Kei now fully understood why the lab rat had such a blissful expression.
Because...
It was so awesome!
As the Space-Time Release dissipated, the Tai Chi diagram gradually transformed into specks of scorching liquid that circulated within his body.
The Space-Time Release technique itself evokes a cool and refreshing feeling, and the two alternately flow through his meridians.
Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire!
Just as Uchiha Kei was enjoying himself, the White Bone Yu outside the glass enclosure could no longer withstand the pressure.
"I... I can't take it anymore..."
White Bone Yu's bright eyes were now dull and lifeless.
The hand resting on the glass cover was now trembling violently.
The extreme depletion of Chakra, coupled with the full control of Space-Time Release power, had already overwhelmed White Bone Yu.
Five consecutive hours—not to mention her, even Naruto with Chahela would probably find it difficult to endure.
Orochimaru stared intently at the liquid on Uchiha Kei's chest, his gaze shifting between light and shadow.
This situation has never occurred with the mice in the experiment.
The Tai Chi symbol either dissipates into mist or disappears completely.
This was the first time he had ever seen something like this, in a liquid state.
I should have conducted human experiments...
Orochimaru was somewhat annoyed by his lack of rigor.
Just then, White Bone Yu finally couldn't hold on any longer, and his hands went limp. The output of his Space-Time Release also stopped at that moment.
"Buzz--"
The once calm liquid began to boil the instant the Space-Time Release disappeared.
Orochimaru picked up the unconscious White Bone Yu and rushed out of the laboratory, slamming the heavy iron door shut behind him.
Orochimaru frowned slightly as he looked at the laboratory door.
Break the seal...
It failed!
If nothing unexpected happens, Uchiha Kei will suffer the same fate as lab rat number 97 within a minute at most.
Bang!
Exploded into a pool of bloody mist!
Outside the laboratory, almost all the high-ranking members of the Twilight Ninja Village were gathered here.
"How's the teacher!" ×4
Orochimaru gently shook his head. "Although I don't want to admit it, it seems..."
"It failed."
Senju Hashirama collapsed to the ground, utterly dejected.
Uchiha Madara, and his fists were clenched tightly.
The rest of the people were basically the same, either in despair or in sorrow.
"Although we failed, but..."
Orochimaru paused, then said firmly, "I still believe that Twilight Shadow can pull through."
"After all..."
"He's Uchiha Kei."
These words rekindled a glimmer of hope in the hearts of everyone present, who were filled with despair.
Yes...
He's Uchiha Kei!
Inside the laboratory.
Boiling liquid was frantically seeping into Uchiha Kei's body from his chest.
Uchiha Kei tried to resist, but he couldn't use his Chakra at all and could only watch helplessly as the liquid seeped in.
Like magma pouring into a body, the extreme heat caused Uchiha Kei excruciating pain.
Every time the liquid seeped into his body, it burned away a portion of his internal organs!
"Ah!"
Uchiha Kei let out a painful roar, and a large amount of pale red steam rose from his body.
This is a mixture of water and blood in his body!
"Am I going to die?"
It wasn't until all his organs, except for his heart, had turned to black ash that Uchiha Kei finally came to terms with reality.
This time...
The system did not appear.
Perhaps, even it cannot cope with this force?
"When--"
A crisp sound rang out from the glass cover.
Uchiha Kei turned his head with difficulty to look at the source of the sound.
It was a girl.
A head of black hair cascaded onto the glass dome, reflecting a beautiful face tinged with melancholy.
"White bones... Yitao?"
Uchiha Kei opened his mouth and silently uttered a name.
Are you here to pick me up?
Uchiha Kei smiled with satisfaction.
He thought that what would receive him would be a fierce and malevolent Big Thunder or some other Netherworld deity.
I never expected it to be a younger version of White Bone Momotao.
"Master, hang in there, get through this... once you get through this, you'll gradually understand everything."
The glass cover is very thick, making it difficult for sound to penetrate.
However, Uchiha Kei understood the meaning behind the White Bone Momotao.
Know everything?
Learn...
What?
However, the appearance of the White Bone Momotao did indeed bring a sudden brightness to his soon-to-be-dormant soul.
Yes!
He hasn't even gone to Takamagahara yet.
We still don't know Jiang Hao's true identity.
I haven't seen Boruto and Himawari born yet.
Not yet...
He still has so many grievances!
So...
"Ah!"
Uchiha Kei roared, using all his strength to resist the invasion of the liquid.
"Buzz--"
A bright beam of light, the size of a watermelon, burst forth from his chest.
Prototype Seed!
A glimmer of hope flashed in Uchiha Kei's eyes.
To his disappointment, the Prototype Seed did not help him expel the liquid invasion.
Instead, it hovered indifferently above his body.
Just like...
A god high above.
Uchiha Kei's hopes were utterly dashed, and as the liquid invaded, his already weakened heart...
At that moment, it turned into black ash.
Uchiha Kei slightly raised his arm, wanting to touch the face of the White Bone Momotao outside the glass enclosure.
But as soon as he raised his head, his vision went completely black.
His hand slammed limply onto the lab table, and his pupils dilated at that moment.
Uchiha Kei...
He died.
