[Brain: All right, all right, stop arguing. Even if we can't kill Black Zetsu, we should at least make him give us a wide berth whenever he sees us.]
[Sharingan: Agreed.]
[Hand: Sure.]
[Leg: I may not have much to do with this, but I'd like to say that next time, we should learn some Sealing Jutsu.]
[Hand: Got it.]
"In this world, I am God. Accept your punishment."
Uchiha Yang spoke as if he were bestowing a gift upon his opponent.
"You..." Black Zetsu had only just started to speak when a multicolored cocoon suddenly engulfed him.
Inside the Nightmare Cocoon, Black Zetsu had already experienced more than a thousand vivid, terrifying nightmares.
Over and over, he watched his mother get sealed by Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura working together. Black Zetsu was consumed by grief.
The scene shifted. After enduring countless hardships, Black Zetsu finally rescued his mother, Otsutsuki Kaguya, only for her to be sealed again by the reincarnations of Asura and Indra working together.
"No!!!"
Black Zetsu let out a heartrending scream inside the Nightmare Cocoon.
The Nightmare World was one of the Mangekyō Sharingan's abilities.
In his previous life, the pressures of reality had nearly suffocated Uchiha Yang. That was why he liked to dream; in his dreams, all his needs could be fulfilled.
In this world, any enemy who disturbed his peaceful life would become his personal nightmare.
The Nightmare World's power let enemies experience their innermost fears over and over. The mental damage they suffered within it would become real physical damage and be inflicted on them.
Back in the real world, Black Zetsu broke free of the Nightmare World, but his body couldn't withstand the massive damage inflicted on him. It fell apart, scattering into clumps of black matter that vanished.
[Brain: As expected, we still didn't kill him. But Black Zetsu won't dare come near Master again for a while.]
[Sharingan: Black Zetsu may be fine, but I'm not. This ability uses up too much ocular power. My vision's getting blurry.]
[Hand: It's fine. It's only a tiny difference. Master probably won't notice.]
[Leg: Come on, Sharingan, pull yourself together and awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.]
[Sharingan: If Hand had learned Sealing Jutsu, I wouldn't have ended up like this.]
[Hand: All right, all right. Once Master gets home, I'll pry open Uzumaki Mito's mouth.]
[Brain: Okay, Master's about to wake up to use the bathroom. Hurry back.]
When Uchiha Yang woke with a full bladder, he climbed out of bed, dazed, and ran a hand through his messy hair. After using the bathroom, he comfortably climbed back under the covers.
Memories of the earlier battle surfaced in his mind, but only for a moment. He ignored them and went right back to sleep.
He had no idea he'd nearly finished off Black Zetsu.
Black Zetsu had escaped with his consciousness intact, but his body had been torn to pieces. He wouldn't be able to do anything for a while.
At the same time, Black Zetsu was filled with fear and hatred for Uchiha Yang.
No one had ever frightened Black Zetsu like this. In all the centuries he'd lived, Uchiha Yang was the first.
Just one Mangekyō ability had nearly made him fall apart. Black Zetsu still didn't know what the other ability was.
Until he understood Uchiha Yang's true abilities, Black Zetsu wouldn't dare go near him.
Half a month later, Uchiha Yang had just returned from inspecting the production lines at the factory he'd founded when something suddenly occurred to him.
[By the way, what happened to the person you said was secretly targeting me? Why haven't they made a move yet?]
Uchiha Yang asked his body, puzzled.
[Brain: It's humiliating to say, but Black Zetsu showed up the day Master got drunk and went home to sleep.]
[Sharingan: Master, didn't you notice that your eyesight had changed just a little?]
Uchiha Yang was startled. The person who'd been targeting him was Black Zetsu, that scheming old fox. Having him set his sights on you was a bit of a problem.
[So what happened next? Did Black Zetsu leave?]
[Brain: We beat him until he was in pieces, then Black Zetsu ran away. What a pity we hadn't learned Sealing Jutsu at the time. Otherwise, we could've finished him off.]
[Sharingan: I used my Nightmare World ability. I turned his greatest fear into pain and inflicted twice as much damage on him.]
[I see. All I can say is, well done.]
Uchiha Yang hadn't expected them to drive Black Zetsu off, especially without his knowledge.
[Hand: Master, I want to pry open Uzumaki Mito's mouth.]
[Sharingan: Tsk, tsk, tsk. Listen to yourself. What kind of thing is that to say?]
[Brain: Ahem. Hand, behave yourself. Would it kill you to say you wanted to learn Sealing Jutsu?]
[Ohhh, you mean learning Sealing Jutsu.]
Uchiha Yang hurriedly cleared the thoughts from his mind. Hand really had led him astray.
[When we get back, we'll go learn it. That's right, ahem. Master will help you pry open Uzumaki Mito's mouth.]
Uchiha Yang couldn't help imagining some indecent scenes.
"My lord, we have news. Senju Hashirama has made his move."
"And the clan head has left the compound. He's heading this way."
Uchiha Sake hurried over to Uchiha Yang, visibly excited.
"Excellent."
Uchiha Sei could hardly wait to set out on the mission. He'd already spent all his retirement money.
It wasn't that Uchiha Sei was a womanizer. It was just that those young girls were too charming.
"Prepare to depart."
Uchiha Yang could hardly wait to have a pet of his own.
At his command, Uchiha Yang settled into the carriage, while Uchiha Sei sat at the reins with a helpless look on his face.
He'd thought they'd set off at full speed, only to find out they were taking a carriage.
Considering Uchiha Yang was still an "ordinary person," Uchiha Sei could only suppress the urge to abandon the carriage and run.
"Great Elder, here's some fresh juice from Master."
The curtain lifted, and Xia Lian handed Uchiha Sei a glass of fresh juice.
"You certainly know how to enjoy yourself, kid. I've lived for most of my life, but I haven't had as colorful a life as you've had these past two weeks."
Uchiha Sei drank his juice, savoring the memory. The young girls in the capital were so full of energy. Next time he had a chance, he'd sneak back on his own. He couldn't bring this bunch of kids along.
He'd blown all his retirement money there.
"You should treat yourself better. All you ever do is fight, and that's not good for your health."
Inside the carriage, Uchiha Yang reclined on a soft, cool cushion as a little maid fed him fruit.
"We have the Great Elder to thank for his generosity. Otherwise, we wouldn't be living this well."
Uchiha Sake sidled up beside Great Elder Uchiha Sei, his eyes seeming to say, "Remember to bring me along next time."
Uchiha Sei ignored him. If he took this guy along again, he'd end up spending his coffin money too.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Madara was racing toward Uchiha Yang at full speed.
At the same time, Senju Hashirama led a large group of people sprinting in another direction.
At the end of that route, the Nine-Tailed Fox had been disturbed by a group of human shinobi. It lashed its claws angrily, its nine tails whipping behind it.
The earth shook.
