Dead silence is a weapon with more weight than any roar or roar.
The black stone slab falling from the sky is the edge of this weapon.
It lay quietly in the center of the Land of Lightning border fortress conference room. The rock table was smashed to pieces, and debris surrounded it, as if it was a simple altar for some kind of sacrificial ceremony.
The scorching residual heat distorted the air, filling every inch of space with an oppressive sense of anxiety.
On the stone slab, the snake-shaped mark connected end to end, in the reflection of everyone's horrified pupils, actually undulated slightly like a living thing. Every undetectable squirm was like a heavy hammer hitting the heart of representative Five Great Nations.
Finally, a Jonin representative from Hidden Leaf Village broke the suffocating silence.
His lips turned white with fear, and his body moved half a step back involuntarily. This subtle movement seemed extremely dazzling at this moment.
"This... this is not a threat..." His voice was hoarse as if it had been polished with sandpaper, "This is a declaration of war! It is a declaration of war against the entire Shinobi World!"
Before he finished speaking, a change that no one noticed was happening.
On the solid ceiling of the conference room, a crack as thin as a hair spread silently.
At the same time, at the edge of the black stone slab, a black line purer than darkness was quietly peeled off. It had no entity and no temperature, as if it were a crack in the space itself.
This black line is like a poisonous snake with life, following the leyline rune circuits on the ground used for defense and warning, and quietly sneaks into the chakra energy supply core in the deepest part of the fortress at a speed that exceeds the normal flow of chakra.
This is exactly the chess piece that Xuan has laid out a long time ago - the [Void Devour·Return to Ruins] micro beacon implanted by the weak spatial fluctuations left when the previous "False Yang Seed" exploded was finally activated at this moment.
At the same moment, Naka River Shrine was thousands of miles away.
Chiyo Saori was dressed in plain clothes and stood on the watchtower on the highest floor of the shrine. The evening breeze blew her long hair, but it could not dispel the coldness in her eyes.
From the tips of her ten fingers, ten Chakra Threadss that were almost invisible to the naked eye extended out. These threads penetrated the space and accurately connected the twelve "Silent Puppetss" buried deep in the desolate land at the junction of Five Great Nationss.
She did not give any attack orders.
The fingertips tremble slightly, and a complex Indian posture is completed in an instant.
"Low frequency resonance mode, start."
In an instant, the cores of the twelve puppets simultaneously began to continuously release an almost imperceptible chakra wave outward at a frequency of 0.7 hertz per second.
This kind of fluctuation is extremely weak and cannot even startle a field mouse, but its frequency is surprisingly synchronized with the brain waves generated by the human brain when feeling deep fear and unknown oppression.
It is like a colorless and odorless chronic poison that passes through the earth and air, quietly affecting all highly nervous decision-makers within the scope.
It will not create illusions, but it can infinitely amplify their inner anxiety, suspicion and uneasiness, enough to induce them to make the most foolish misjudgments at critical moments.
"I don't want them to be afraid of me," she said in a cold voice to Baba Tesshin, who was kneeling on one knee behind her, without looking back, "I want them to scare themselves and lead to destruction in their endless anxiety."
In the [Crimson Eye Divine Realm] that is independent of the real world, Xuanpan sits in the center of the scarlet altar, surrounded by surging clouds of blood-colored energy.
The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan in his right eye opened slightly, and his pupil power penetrated the barrier of time and space.
In his field of vision, everyone in the Five Great Nations high-level conference room turned into a ball of light and shadow composed of chakra and life energy. Their heartbeat rhythm, chakra fluctuation frequency, and even changes in adrenaline secretion caused by emotional fluctuations were all clearly presented in his mind in the form of data.
The huge chakra of the three Iwagakure elders who were completely devoured by him not long ago, as well as the combat experience and will accumulated throughout their lives, have not completely dissipated.
Under the transformation of the rules of the divine domain, these remaining will data flows are being rapidly analyzed and reconstructed by the system, filling the last blank of a huge database.
A line of prompts that only he could see appeared in front of him: ["Rinnegan Simulation Template" key completion data has been loaded, completion level 98%...99%...]
Xuan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and his breath condensed into a faint white line in the blood mist.
"Fear will breed blind action, and blind action will inevitably expose flaws." He whispered to himself, with a cold arc at the corner of his mouth, "I don't need to work hard to find their life gate, I want them to hand over their life gate to my hand willingly."
Night completely enveloped the earth.
Kumogakure, the military council convened urgently, and the atmosphere was as solemn as iron.
Raikage A punched the table and roared that he would immediately organize a coalition to attack Uchiha Xuan.
However, more elders hold conservative views, believing that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear, and a rash attack will play into the opponent's hands.
Just when everyone was arguing endlessly and was about to reach a deadlock, a sudden change occurred!
On the smooth floor of the conference room, there seemed to be an invisible pen using blood as ink, and a line of ferocious text quickly appeared. "The 'unity' you talk about, in my eyes, is nothing more than queuing to die."
Before the writing was dry, an indescribable cold atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire room.
All Hidden Cloud Village executives present were shocked to find that their shadows, under the light of the lights, seemed to be grasped by an invisible big hand, suddenly twisted and stretched, and finally pointed in the same direction - the distant Fire Country, Naka River Shrine!
"Enemy attack!" the ninja leader of the sensing force screamed. He spread out the sensing network with all his strength, trying to capture the traces of the intruders, but found nothing.
No, it's not nothing.
At the end of his perception, the distant shrine was emitting an extremely weak, yet extremely pure Divine Tree cell resonance.
It felt... as if the entire shrine building, as well as the land beneath it, had been "contaminated" and become part of a huge life form.
Almost at the same time, on the secret supply line from Land of Wind to Hidden Leaf Village, a figure blended into the shadow of the dunes like a ghost.
Baba Tesshin quickly intercepted a courier without injuring his life, but only took the encrypted information scroll.
He took out a transparent chip the size of a fingernail from his arms, with complex reverse runes engraved on it with imperceptible chakra.
He carefully implanted the chip into the sealing wax of the scroll, then restored everything and released the unaware messenger.
Hidden Leaf Village, Hokage office.
Shikamaru Nara is frowning as he analyzes the chaotic information coming from everywhere.
When he opened the secret ally letter from Land of Wind, a change occurred.
The moment the sealing wax was crushed, the chip silently turned into a stream of information, invading the scroll itself.
The ink on the scroll was only distorted for a moment, but what caught Shikamaru's eyes was no longer Sunagakure's battle report, but a picture that made him feel chilled all over: endless corpses piled up into mountains, forming a bone throne, and Uchiha Xuan was sitting on the top of the throne, looking at him across time and space with scarlet eyes.
Then, a cold, emotionless voice sounded directly in the depths of his mind, "When you are plotting against others, have you ever calculated how many rounds you can live?"
"Crack!"
Shikamaru closed the scroll suddenly, his body shook violently, his forehead was instantly covered with fine cold sweat, and the clothes on his back were soaked in an instant.
He immediately checked himself and found no signs of chakra disorder.
"It's not an illusion..." he murmured to himself, his eyes filled with unprecedented solemnity and horror, "This is... some kind of information invasion that transcends cognition!"
[Crimson Eye Divine Realm].
Xuan slowly opened his right eye.
Following his will, the space in front of his palm fluctuated, and a three-dimensional map projected by the core of God's Domain - Bipolar Crystal Core emerged out of thin air.
On the map, the outline of Five Great Nations is clearly visible, and the core positions of Hidden Leaf Village, Hidden Cloud Village, Iwagakure, Hidden Sand Village, and Hidden Mist Village are now marked with dazzling red light spots.
"Do you think I'm waiting for you to make a decision?" He looked at those light spots, as if looking at a group of prey that had been caught in a net, and his voice was as soft as a dream, "Wrong - I was waiting for you to push myself to a dead end with my own hands."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Bipolar Crystal Core suspended in the center of the energy storm and pregnant with a silver halo in the deepest part of the God's Domain suddenly made a low buzzing sound and began to tremble violently.
On the surface of the crystal core, a brand new, unprecedented complex rune is automatically emerging and imprinted.
The shape of the runes is like chains, tightly entangled with an irregular five-pointed star pattern.
A wave of power far more terrifying and arrogant than before escaped from the crystal core, and a rule called "Crimson Eye Edict", unique to Uchiha Xuan, was quietly taking shape in this divine realm.
Xuan's body suddenly stiffened and he let out a suppressed groan.
The Eternal Mangekyō pattern on his right eye actually began to rotate crazily at an almost out-of-control speed at this moment. Under the skin around the eye socket, thin blood vessels bulged ferociously like knotted tree roots.
A sharp pain that ripped apart his soul came from the depths of his pupils, as if it was about to completely crush his will.
This power has begun to... not be satisfied with just being controlled.
