Passing the Trial

Obito filled in the final gap.

"What lies before our eyes is often only the surface and cannot fully reveal all the truth. If we blindly limit ourselves to what we currently see, we can easily fall into a dead end of thought."

"However, when we try changing the way we think and the angle from which we observe, those key factors hidden deep beneath the surface and overlooked will gradually emerge and reveal themselves before us!"

Obito spoke calmly.

Ichikishimahime widened her eyes, staring at Obito before her in utter astonishment.

Pfft!

"Eating you really is an extremely difficult task~"

Ichikishimahime let out a helpless chuckle. Her figure vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye, like a ghost.

Obito Uchiha's lips curled 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 an intangible state and avoided this attack.

However, Obito knew that this was the final goddess's trial.

So, he did not resist.

With a soft pfft, blood splattered everywhere.

Tagitsuhime smiled smugly. Then her form swiftly changed, and in the blink of an eye, she transformed into a breathtakingly beautiful young maiden.

"I never expected you to pass all the trials set by Ichikishimahime and Tagorihime so smoothly. It seems you do have some skill."

"Then next, let me test you!"

Tagitsuhime spoke calmly.

Obito Uchiha suddenly felt his body grow feverishly hot!

Then, Obito Uchiha's vision went black. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing amid a battlefield filled with the stench of blood and earth-shaking cries of slaughter!

The thick smell of blood rushed into his nostrils, making him nauseous.

Obito Uchiha looked around, only to witness a horrifying sight!

The people standing all around him were the very ones he had personally slaughtered before!

They were all Iwagakure shinobi 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 at this moment, their faces were deathly pale, their bodies drenched in blood, and they stared fixedly at Obito Uchiha with eyes full of hatred and fury.

"Waaah... I died so miserably! Obito Uchiha, you beast!"

An elderly man with a face full of wrinkles cried out sorrowfully, his trembling voice bleak and mournful.

"Obito Uchiha, you're a demon who kills without batting an eye! We had no grudges against you, so why did you slaughter us so ruthlessly?!"

A young woman cursed through gritted teeth.

"Give me back my life! You butcher! You murdered thousands of innocent people! Do you know how many happy families were torn apart by your evil deeds because of those thousands of deaths?!"

A middle-aged man roared at Obito Uchiha with furious eyes.

"You killed not just them as individuals, but also their sons, their fathers, and their grandsons! You heartless bastard, how many families' peace have you destroyed?! You are human scum, guilty of monstrous crimes!"

Someone else shouted angrily, their grief-stricken cry seeming capable of piercing the heavens.

The cries of countless people rose and fell one after another, like sharp daggers viciously stabbing into Obito Uchiha's ears.

Every accusation made Obito Uchiha feel inexplicably irritated!

Then, the illusion's intensity continued to increase!

Minato, Kakashi, and Rin appeared one after another, accusing and mocking him!

In the end, even his grandmother appeared and began berating him.

"Enough!" Obito Uchiha's eyes widened in rage, turning blood-red in an instant as they transformed into the Three-Tomoe Sharingan!

"You lowly, inferior creatures of the two-dimensional world dare point fingers at me?! Dying beneath my blade is the greatest honor of your miserable lives! What right do you have to condemn me? Insignificant beings like ants should obediently accept their place as ants!"

Obito Uchiha's voice was mad and merciless, filled with contempt and disdain.

"Hmph! My life is incomparably precious. How could it possibly be compared with lowly people like you?! Even tens of trillions of worthless lives like yours put together would still 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 at the peak of this world and look down upon all living beings!"

"I was born standing atop the mountain! Heaven-defying fortune has always been my birthright. This world exists solely because I descended into it!"

He swept his gaze arrogantly over those he had killed and continued roaring, "I am the true protagonist of this story! You worthless lower creatures are only fit to serve as background props 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 dispersed like dust!

In the outside world, Obito Uchiha slowly opened his eyes!

The illusion had been broken!

When Tagitsuhime, Ichikishimahime, and Tagorihime saw Obito Uchiha shatter the illusion like lightning, all three goddesses wore astonished expressions!

In a thousand years, he was the first and fastest person to pass the trial!

"Orochimaru, the person you brought this time is truly extraordinary!"

Tagorihime spoke calmly to Orochimaru at her side.

"Hehe... I didn't expect him to pass so quickly either..."

Orochimaru licked his lips and smiled.

"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.

Orochimaru could only nod and signal Obito with his eyes.

"Obito, from here on, follow the White Snake Sage and venture into a realm I cannot reach. I hope you can accept this inheritance."

"The next three sages will take you there. You have already passed the test, and with them present, nothing will happen to you."

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, you'd better behave yourself. The old lady does not like naughty children."

Tagitsuhime said.

Obito Uchiha nodded.
