Setting Foot in the Netherworld

Day three.

All eyes in the Shinobi World were fixed on the space-time rift in the sky.

Today is the day the gods summon the First Twilight Shadow.

In just two days, the Shinobi World underwent dramatic changes.

A Taijutsu called [Body One] has spread wildly throughout the Shinobi World, and its mastermind is none other than today's protagonist— Uchiha Kei!

This Taijutsu far surpasses any Ninjutsu circulating in the Shinobi World; it's quick to master, incredibly powerful, and has immense potential!

In just two days, quite a few people have already gotten the hang of it.

This was the best solution that Uchiha Kei and Orochimaru came up with after discussing it.

Divine matter is far beyond the capacity of modern ninjas to withstand, even in the slightest amount.

But things are different after you learn [Body One].

That should be enough to support even a tiny fraction of divine resources.

Certainly.

The original [Body One] of Uchiha Kei cannot be copied verbatim.

For ordinary ninjas, the original [Body One] damage is even greater than that of divine matter!

Over two days, Uchiha Kei used the system to simplify [Body One], making it suitable for the vast majority of ninjas in the Shinobi World.

The square in the Twilight Ninja Village.

A large group of high-ranking members of the Twilight Ninja Village surrounded Uchiha Kei, their eyes filled with worry.

"Teacher, do we really have to go? Is it not okay if we don't go?"

Hyuga Hanabi pouted, looking unhappy.

"That's Izanami! She's going to Destruction the Shinobi World! I can't stop her!"

Uchiha Kei smiled and gently patted her head.

"But..."

Hyuga Hanabi's face fell.

The woman's face yesterday, and the tone of her voice, clearly indicated she had ulterior motives towards the teacher.

Gods are amazing!

Why should they steal the teacher...?

One Kaguya isn't enough, do we need another goddess?

"Okay, Little Hanabi, Teacher will be alright."

Uchiha Kei pinched her little cheek, then turned to look at Kaguya.

"I originally planned to take down Ōtsutsuki Isshiki leaving, but this guy is a bit difficult to capture, so..."

Kaguya gently shook her head. "Don't worry, you have several students in the Shinobi World. Even if Isshiki has two Noble Phantasms, it won't be of any use."

Uchiha Kei thought for a moment.

Of the four members of the Senju Hashirama, Madara, and Uchiha Izuna, who has mastered the Will of the Sword.

With his abilities and the cooperation of the three of them, things shouldn't go wrong.

"Since that's the case..."

Uchiha Kei slowly floated into the air, looking down at the crowd below, "Everyone, we will meet again soon."

His gaze was especially profound when he looked at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru nodded slightly to him from the crowd.

"Whoosh--"

Uchiha Kei was finally relieved and vanished into the space-time rift in a flash.

As they watched Uchiha Kei disappear, a sense of unease inexplicably arose in the hearts of everyone in the Shinobi World.

Over the years, with Uchiha Kei, no matter what happened, there was always a pillar of strength standing in their way.

Now...

This pillar has gone to an unknown place.

The Shinobi World...

Is it possible to maintain peace?

This peace...

How long can it last?

Upon opening his eyes, Uchiha Kei saw the surrounding scenery.

What greets the eye is devastation.

A dusky yellow sky, a scarlet earth, and faint, mournful cries.

"Tsk tsk tsk, so this is the Netherworld? It truly lives up to its name."

Uchiha Kei looked around.

At the very front of him was a towering mountain peak that reached into the clouds.

Atop the mountain peak stands a magnificent building, seemingly out of place in this world.

"Izanami should be here, right?"

Uchiha Kei rubbed his chin and slowly walked towards the mountain peak.

They had only taken a couple of steps when a violent tremor shook the ground.

Uchiha Kei frowned slightly, and his eyes instantly transformed, revealing the Rinnegan and Tenseigan!

"Boom--"

Green Chakra instantly enveloped his body, and spinning black Truth-Seeking Orb appeared.

Tenseigan Chakra Mode!

This was the first time Uchiha Kei had used the Tenseigan's Chakra mode.

In the past, he always used swordsmanship.

But for some reason, the moment he stepped into the Netherworld, his swordsmanship seemed to be repelled by some kind of force, losing only one-tenth of its power.

Right now, all he can rely on are his two Dōjutsu and his unlimited Chakra.

"Click--"

The ground cracked open, and a black, serpentine monster emanating a pungent stench emerged from the ground.

It had no eyes, no nose, and its entire skull was covered in a gaping, bloody gash.

Its bloody mouth was filled with tiny, inverted, sharp teeth!

Uchiha Kei hovered in mid-air, and with a wave of his hand, countless boulders rose from the ground.

Tenseigan – Space Manipulation!

"Boom--"

The giant rock slammed into the monster, kicking up clouds of dust.

"Aww--"

The monster let out a painful howl, its massive body twisting wildly.

Uchiha Kei frowned slightly, then extended his right hand, and green Truth-Seeking Orb Balls appeared out of thin air.

"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

With a low growl, the green Truth-Seeking Orb spun and charged towards the monster.

"Boom!"

The green Truth-Seeking Orb spun wildly, forming a dazzling silver halo.

Like a whirlwind, it struck the monster's body straight down.

"Thud--"

The monster's massive body was smashed straight through and sent flying a hundred meters away.

"Is her skin that thick...?"

Uchiha Kei muttered to himself.

Whether it was the Space Manipulation just now, or the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion now, both seemed to be causing the monster to scream in pain.

In reality, they couldn't even break through the monster's defenses!

You should know...

This is a Truth -Truth-Seeking Orb!

This thing is so overpowered it can even damage souls!

"Aww--"

The monster angrily rolled to its feet, opened its bloody mouth to reveal fine, sharp teeth, and roared.

Layer upon layer of sound waves, almost tangible, rushed toward Uchiha Kei at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Uchiha Kei instinctively tried to dodge, but his body seemed to be out of his control, frozen in place!

"Bang--"

Uchiha Kei watched helplessly as the sound waves struck him.

The Tenseigan Chakra Mode was instantly deactivated, and the clothes on his body were torn to shreds by the sound waves.

Even with the support of Body One, the body became vulnerable at this moment.

Countless tiny, dense wounds kept appearing and then healing.

"Golden Wheel..."

Uchiha Kei a low, labored roar, and green Chakra once again enveloped his body.

It's different from the previous powerful and vigorous style.

This time Chakra was barely visible and could dissipate at any moment.

"Reincarnation Explosion!"

A golden Chakra lightsaber instantly appeared in his hand.

With great difficulty, he lifted it up and swung it at the monster with all his might.

"Boom--"

Dust flying everywhere!

A bottomless chasm has appeared!

The monster's howls stopped at that moment.

"Sizzle--"

Horrible wounds appeared on its head and spread downwards at an extremely rapid pace.

A large amount of dark blood gushed out from the wound, staining the red ground black.

Monster...

Death!
