The brief clash with the "masked man" sounded an alarm in Kamizuki Yu's mind.
Obito's [Kamui] was indeed troublesome. If not for his system-optimized [Kamui], along with the foundation of a Sage Body and Asura's chakra, the outcome would have been hard to predict.
The countless schemes and conspiracies to come, the Nine-Tails Attack, the Uchiha Clan massacre...
Each and every one of them required deeper reserves to deal with.
His current strength alone was still not enough to let him rest easy.
His gaze turned toward a heavily guarded location within the Hidden Leaf Village.
The Uchiha Clan's forbidden ground—Nanga Shrine.
There lay the Uchiha Clan's most essential secrets and power.
The ink-black night perfectly concealed his movements.
With a few leaps across Hidden Leaf's rooftops, Kamizuki Yu had already reached the outskirts of Nanga Shrine.
The Uchiha Police Force ninjas on patrol had sharp eyes, vigilantly sweeping their surroundings.
Even deeper in the shadows, figures from Hidden Leaf's ANBU lay hidden.
To an ordinary ninja, this place was a dragon's den and tiger's lair.
But Kamizuki Yu possessed the [Flying Thunder God Technique].
He had long since left countless Flying Raijin Formulas throughout Hidden Leaf.
Naturally, the area around Nanga Shrine was no exception.
With a slight stir of his mental energy, faint ripples appeared in space.
The next instant, he had crossed every line of defense and silently appeared in the shadows of Nanga Shrine's main building.
The shrine's interior was deep and secluded, its air permeated with an ancient aura.
Relying on his memories of the original work, he easily found the entrance leading to the underground chamber.
As he spiraled down the stone steps, a cold, damp sensation rushed toward him.
At the end of the chamber stood a massive stone tablet in silence.
It was covered in dense ancient script and emitted chakra fluctuations that made one's heart tremble.
This was the secret stone tablet left behind by the Sage of Six Paths.
Kamizuki Yu stood before it and adjusted his breathing.
"System, check in here."
He murmured inwardly.
"Ding! Check-in at [Nanga Shrine Secret Stone Tablet] successful!" "Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Uchiha forbidden techniques: [Izanagi/Izanami (no-side-effects version, limited daily uses)]!"
The system prompt rang out, crisp and pleasant.
In an instant, a vast torrent of information flooded into Kamizuki Yu's mind.
He instantly grasped every mystery of [Izanagi] and [Izanami].
[Izanagi], at the cost of sacrificing a Sharingan, could restore the caster's state to any moment within a short period. It could even turn every factor unfavorable to oneself into a dream, while turning every favorable factor into reality.
[Izanami], likewise at the cost of sacrificing a Sharingan, was a forbidden technique that could determine one's fate. Once trapped within it, one would be unable to escape an endless loop of similar scenes until one acknowledged one's own fate.
The version provided by the system, however, completely eliminated the side effect of blindness after use.
The price was that the number of times it could be used each day was limited.
[Izanagi] could be used once per day.
[Izanami] could be used once per day.
Such a restriction instead left Kamizuki Yu even more satisfied.
It prevented abuse and made these two great forbidden techniques true trump cards capable of turning the tide at critical moments.
Once the check-in was complete, Kamizuki Yu discovered that the contents of the stone tablet, which he had previously been unable to fully decipher due to the limits of his ocular power, had now become incomparably clear.
It was as though an invisible hand had brushed away the fog before his eyes.
The origins of the Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan, the fated entanglement between Indra and Asura, even the earliest prototype of the Infinite Tsukuyomi...
Countless ancient secrets unfolded before him one by one.
This information deepened his understanding of this world yet another layer.
Just as he carefully "read" the tablet's contents, an extremely faint yet exceptionally strange chakra fluctuation came from even deeper within the stone tablet.
This chakra belonged neither to the Uchiha Clan nor the Senju Clan.
It was more ancient, more vast, carrying an indescribable sense of detachment.
As though it had come from a distant world beyond the heavens.
The Otsutsuki Clan?
Kamizuki Yu's thoughts stirred.
It seemed that beneath this stone tablet, an even deeper secret remained hidden.
He did not rashly investigate.
The time had not yet come.
With the no-side-effects [Izanagi] and [Izanami], Kamizuki Yu felt his confidence grow by several degrees.
It was as if he had become the one holding destiny's pen, gaining more power to rewrite tragedies.
The tragedy of the Uchiha Clan massacre must never be repeated.
Minato and Kushina's fate had to be rewritten as well.
He silently withdrew from Nanga Shrine's underground chamber. Just as when he had arrived, he alerted no one.
The night wind was slightly cool as it brushed through his hair.
Kamizuki Yu raised his head toward Hokage Rock.
Kushina's due date was drawing closer and closer.
That Obito should also have been preparing for it by now.
The Nine-Tails Attack...
This time, he would not let him succeed.
He needed to plan carefully and ensure nothing could go wrong.
His figure flickered, and Kamizuki Yu merged into the night once more, vanishing without a trace.
