Uya's sudden appearance and departure were so unexpected that even Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't detect a trace of her. The two stared in the direction Uya had gone and remained silent for a moment.
After a few breaths, Orochimaru turned to Hiruzen Sarutobi and said, "Although we were interrupted, it's not a big problem. You're getting impatient, aren't you, Teacher Sarutobi..."
Orochimaru's tone carried a sinister undertone, yet Hiruzen Sarutobi remained completely unmoved, demonstrating his profound understanding of Orochimaru.
Click!!
The next moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru exchanged a glance, their sharp gazes meeting in mid-air. Their auras and Chakra collided, and cracks appeared on the eaves between them.
Immediately afterwards, the two attacked each other almost simultaneously, each Hand Seals.
At this time, Uya had already arrived at a ruin in Konoha. This was the shrine of the Uchiha Clan and the origin of Black Zetsu's plan, the place where the Sage of Six Paths attempted to guide peace.
"As expected, they came while I was away from Konoha."
The inscription on this stone tablet Mangekyō Sharingan, the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and even the Rinnegan. The Mangekyō Sharingan can only see a portion of the inscription, while the Rinnegan can see it all.
Uya didn't possess any Dōjutsu, but as someone at the Six Paths Level, he could easily see through the stone tablet.
"Meaningless stuff."
After glancing at the stone tablet, Uya shook his head and walked out of the ancestral hall. The moment Uya stepped out, a crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the stone tablet, which spread Setsuna and eventually shattered completely.
The battle between Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi surprised Uya somewhat, because Orochimaru did not use the Impure World Impure World Reincarnation to summon the First Hokage and Second Hokage as in the original story, but instead confronted Hiruzen Sarutobi head-on.
After unleashing the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, the aging Hiruzen Sarutobi was no match for Orochimaru and was completely overwhelmed.
However, what left Uya somewhat speechless was that Orochimaru had completely trapped himself. If he hadn't used the Four Violet Flames Formation to Hiruzen Sarutobi, he would have been able to easily wear Hiruzen Sarutobi with his strength.
But then, they set up Four Violet Flames Formation, which prevented Hiruzen Sarutobi out, and he himself was also trapped.
And so, when Hiruzen Sarutobi used the Reaper Death Seal, Orochimaru tragically fell victim to it!
"I didn't feel anything when I saw this technique last time, but this time I can clearly feel it."
Looking at the Shinigami summoned by Hiruzen Sarutobi using the Reaper Death Seal, Uya's eyes revealed a look of "I knew it."
The Shinigami Reaper Death Seal looks remarkably like the Ōtsutsuki Clan, with the most striking resemblance undoubtedly being Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Last time, when Minato Namikaze used the Reaper Death Seal seal half of the Nine-Tails, Uya didn't sense any consciousness in the Shinigami because at that time, he hadn't reached the level to access that consciousness.
The will within the Shinigami created by the Reaper Shinigami Reaper Death Seal is none other than the will of Kaguya Otsutsuki!
However, the amount of Princess Kaguya's will within this Shinigami was very small, still insufficient to revive Princess Kaguya; it was far from enough.
However, just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was attempting to completely seal Orochimaru with the Reaper Death Seal, an unexpected incident occurred!
As if some kind of power was surging within, the Hiruzen Sarutobi using the Reaper Death Seal, Shinigami to the naked eye, suddenly shifted its gaze from Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru, turning its head to look at Uya in the distance!
Although the Shinigami cannot be seen with the naked eye, that's only true for ordinary people; Uya can see it clearly!
And so, Uya's gaze met that of the Shinigami at that very moment.
Buzz!!!
The next instant, a surge of spiritual energy, like Uzumaki, roared towards Uya.
Although this Shinigami only contained a small portion of Princess Kaguya's will and had not truly awakened, Uya's presence still made her will feel threatened, so she instinctively attacked Uya.
"Hmm! This is interesting..."
Faced with this Mental Shock, a look of surprise flashed across Uya's face, then his expression turned cold, and as he snorted, his own mental power also burst forth.
boom!!!
Ignoring spatial distance, the two spiritual forces collided violently, producing a deafening roar that resounded directly through the soul!
The terrifying Mental Shock, centered on Uya and the distant Shinigami, surged outwards in all directions, causing a buzzing sound in the minds of almost everyone it reached.
Apart from Orochimaru and Sarutobi, whose souls were already connected to the Shinigami Ninjutsu to the Reaper Death Seal, this terrifying Mental Shock affected almost the entire Konoha!
Although this was merely the aftermath of a clash between Uya and Princess Kaguya's wills, even the aftermath was something that ordinary ninjas could not withstand.
The Four Violet Flames Formation dissipated in Setsuna, and all four Sound Ninja collapsed unconscious in a flash.
Immediately afterward, several Anbu Ninja had been anxiously watching Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi fight outside the Four Violet Flames Formation also fainted.
Thump! Thump!!
Throughout Konoha, people fell in droves, like wheat being harvested. No one was spared, whether they were Genin Chunin, or Jonin; they were all powerless to resist the aftershocks of this Mental Shock.
Only a handful of Kage Level powerhouses, such as Kakashi, Might Guy, Kimimaro, did not immediately faint, but they all experienced a violent shock and showed expressions of horror.
"What... what's going on?!"
Kakashi and Might Guy, who were fighting against the Sound Ninja and Sand Ninja, saw everyone instantly fall unconscious as if under Genjutsu. Even they almost fainted from the shock.
After exchanging a glance, the two quickly jumped to a higher position and surveyed the entire Konoha. They were shocked to find that almost in that instant, everyone in Konoha, whether civilians or ninjas, had fainted!
Only a handful of people, including them, did not immediately lose consciousness.
The most conspicuous people were Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru, who stood motionless in strange poses. Not far away, Uya's figure could be seen floating in the air, exuding an aura that seemed to transcend everything.
"Is that Uya- senpai? What did he do?!"
"No, something doesn't seem right!"
Kakashi's face turned serious as he looked at Uya in the distance, and at Hiruzen Sarutobi Orochimaru, and the others opposite Uya.
Konoha in the distance.
Gaara, Kimimaro was fighting Gaara and had him firmly under his control, also suddenly changed his expression.
Haku and Karin, who were just watching without participating in the battle, both changed their expressions at the same time. As for Gaara, he immediately fainted, the sand on his body instantly falling off and crashing to the ground.
Kimimaro, and the other two ignored the unconscious Gaara and instead turned their heads in shock to look at Konoha behind them.
"This is..."
Karin, with her powerful senses, was able to instantly perceive Uya's presence, as well as the vast and unfathomable power emanating from Uya, despite the great distance.
Next, she ignored Might Guy and Kakashi, and finally, her senses focused on Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru.
With her special sensory abilities, she could barely sense the Shinigami created by the Reaper Death Seal Technique, but that was already her limit; she could not sense Princess Kaguya's will.
"Why would Lord Uya...?" (To be continued.)
