Obito filled in the final spot.
"What lies before our eyes is often merely the surface and cannot fully reveal the whole truth. If we remain blindly confined to what we currently see, we can easily fall into a dead end of thought."
"However, when we try changing our way of thinking and our angle of observation, those crucial factors hidden deep beneath the surface and overlooked by us will gradually emerge and present themselves before us!"
Obito spoke calmly.
Ichikishimahime widened her eyes, staring at Obito before her with a face full of astonishment.
Pfft!
"Eating you really is an incredibly difficult task~"
Ichikishimahime chuckled helplessly. Her figure vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye, like a ghost.
Obito Uchiha's lips curled slightly into a faint smile.
But at that moment, an intense sense of danger suddenly struck! A snake-like figure shot toward him like lightning.
In an instant, Obito Uchiha understood.
With his abilities, he could have easily entered Intangibility and avoided this attack.
However, Obito knew this was the final trial of the Divine Princesses.
Thus, he did not resist.
With a soft pfft, blood splattered everywhere.
Tagitsuhime smiled smugly. Immediately afterward, her form rapidly changed, and in the blink of an eye, she transformed into a stunningly beautiful young girl.
"I didn't expect you to successfully pass all the trials set by Ichikishimahime and Tagorihime. It seems you truly do have some skill."
"Then next, let me test you!"
Tagitsuhime said calmly.
Obito Uchiha suddenly felt his body grow feverish!
Then, Obito Uchiha felt his vision go dark. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in a battlefield filled with the stench of blood and deafening cries of slaughter!
The heavy smell of blood assaulted his nostrils, making him nauseous.
Obito Uchiha looked around, only to witness a horrifying scene!
The people around him were all those he had personally slain before!
They were all Iwagakure ninja whom he had massacred on the Kannabi Bridge battlefield! Among them were white-haired elders, child Genin, and young men and women in the prime of their lives.
Yet now, their faces were deathly pale, their bodies soaked in blood, and they stared fixedly at Obito Uchiha with eyes full of hatred and fury.
"Waaah... I died so horribly! Obito Uchiha, you beast!"
An elderly man with a wrinkled face cried out in grief, his voice trembling and miserable.
"Obito Uchiha, you're a demon who kills without blinking! We had no grudge against you, so why did you slaughter us!"
A young woman cursed through gritted teeth.
"Give me back my life! You butcher, you killed thousands of innocent people! Do you know how many happy families behind those thousands of people were torn apart because of your evil deeds!?"
A middle-aged man glared furiously and roared at Obito Uchiha.
"You didn't just kill them as individuals. You killed their sons, their fathers, their grandsons! You inhuman bastard, how many families' peace did you destroy! You are nothing but the scum of humanity, guilty of monstrous crimes!"
Someone else shouted in furious condemnation, the grief-stricken cries seeming capable of piercing the heavens.
Countless voices rose and fell one after another, like sharp daggers stabbing viciously into Obito Uchiha's ears.
Every accusation made Obito Uchiha feel inexplicably irritated!
Then, the illusion's intensity continued to rise!
Minato, Kakashi, and Rin appeared one after another, accusing and mocking him!
In the end, even his grandmother appeared and cursed him.
"Enough!" Obito Uchiha's eyes widened in fury. His eyes instantly turned crimson as blood, transforming into the Three-Tomoe Sharingan!
"You lowly second-dimensional inferior creatures actually dare point fingers at me! Being able to die beneath my blade is the greatest honor of your lives! What right do you have to condemn me? A bunch of tiny beings like ants should obediently accept the awareness of being ants!"
Obito Uchiha's voice was crazed and merciless, filled with contempt and disdain.
"Hmph! My life is incomparably precious. How could it possibly be mentioned in the same breath as you lowly people! Even tens of trillions of worthless lives like yours combined would be far inferior to my one and only life!"
An utterly arrogant smile appeared on Obito Uchiha's face.
"From the moment I was born, I was destined to stand atop this world and look down upon all living beings!"
"I was someone who stood at the mountaintop from birth! Heaven-defying luck has always been my inborn privilege. This world exists solely because I descended into it!"
He swept his gaze arrogantly over those people he had killed and continued roaring, "I am the true protagonist of this story! You third-rate inferior creatures are only worthy of being background decorations to highlight my great and glorious image!"
"Dead people, shut up already!"
As Obito Uchiha's will hardened!
All the illusions shattered completely!
The sea of people around him also scattered like dust!
In the outside world, Obito Uchiha slowly opened his eyes!
The illusion had been broken!
When the three Divine Princesses—Tagitsuhime, Ichikishimahime, and Tagorihime—saw Obito Uchiha shatter the illusion like lightning, astonishment appeared on all their faces!
In a thousand years, he was the first person to pass the trial this quickly!
"Orochimaru, the person you brought this time truly is extraordinary!"
Tagorihime said calmly to Orochimaru beside her.
"Hehe... I didn't expect him to pass so quickly either..."
Orochimaru licked his lips and said with a smile.
"Since that is the case, we will prepare to take him to see the White Snake Sage and cultivate Sage Art. Please leave."
Tagorihime spoke calmly, issuing Orochimaru an order to leave.
Seeing this, Orochimaru could only nod and signal to Obito with his eyes.
"Obito, from here on, follow the White Snake Sage and enter a realm I cannot reach. I hope you can accept this inheritance."
"These three sages will take you there next. You have already passed the trial, and with them there, you will not encounter any problems."
Orochimaru said hoarsely.
Obito Uchiha nodded.
"Come with us!"
Tagorihime placed her hand on Obito Uchiha's body.
In an instant, Obito Uchiha felt the world spin around him!
When he opened his eyes the next second, Obito Uchiha found that he had arrived before a great hall.
"When you meet the White Snake Sage later, make sure to behave yourself. The old lady does not like naughty children."
Tagitsuhime said.
Obito Uchiha nodded.
Before you continue
