Chapter 392 Illusion and Reality
Because in the story told by the Sage of Six Paths, there was no involvement of the outsider Kaito.
At the same time, Senju Hashirama was no longer in this world, and Uchiha Madara, who had long been invincible in the ninja world, easily collected all nine tailed beasts.
No one even knows the real reason why he collects the tailed beasts.
Therefore, even the resistance he encountered during the collection process was not fierce.
Later, when Uchiha Madara successfully gathered the nine tailed beasts.
Without any hesitation, he summoned the Gedo Statue.
Then he fused the nine tailed beasts.
Absorbed the Ten-Tails and became the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki.
Finally, the Infinite Tsukuyomi was activated.
And when the Infinite Tsukuyomi is successfully activated.
Originally, Black Zetsu wanted to directly attack Uchiha Madara, use Uchiha Madara's body to resurrect Otsutsuki Kaguya, and achieve his real goal, which was to save his mother.
Uchiha Madara achieved his goal without going through any fighting. At that time, he still retained his full strength and his mind was not overly distracted.
Although he was still distracted by the fulfillment of his long-cherished wish and was successfully ambushed by Black Zetsu, he still had the strength to fight back.
The moment before Kaguya Otsutsuki was about to be resurrected with the help of his body.
Uchiha Madara, who had already achieved his long-cherished wish and had no desires, chose to seal himself and Black Zetsu together.
In the end, Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu died together.
After that, The Infinite Tsukuyomi has been completed, relying on the sacred tree to continuously absorb nutrients from the earth, maintaining the lives of all people in this world.
Even these people may be further gradually transformed into White Zetsu.
However, since there is no actual controller, the mind or soul will not be enslaved and turned into a weapon of war.
The chakra produced by these people, in turn, maintains the existence of the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
That's it.
All human beings in this world.
It was just as Uchiha Madara had hoped.
All trapped.
In the eternal 'beautiful' fantasy!
And this 'eternity'.
It will continue until the world's energy is completely exhausted, and eventually it will go to nothingness along with the world.
Or.
When an external force appears and breaks the Infinite Tsukuyomi, the story ends here.
The Sage of Six Paths also stopped telling his story.
And Kaito also fell into a long silence.
After a while, Kaito spoke again in a dry voice.
"So, I am the external force that breaks the Infinite Tsukuyomi?"
Although it seemed like he was asking a question, Kaito's tone was very affirmative.
In response to Kaito's question, the Sage of Six Paths just nodded silently to show his certainty.
It was not until this moment that Kaito remembered again.
The achievement that was unlocked when he crossed the dragon vein.
[Dare to venture into the Lostbelt! ]
'This eternal fantasy world is truly an enviable yet hopeless world.'
Kaito revealed a bitter smile on his face, and then looked at the Sage of Six Paths with a last glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"Since the entire ninja world is in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, how can you say that everything I experienced is not false?"
Looking at Kaito's slightly expectant eyes, the Sage of Six Paths did not choose to avoid the question this time, but directly stated the reason.
"After this world fell into an eternal illusion, I have been looking for a way to save it."
"Until one day, by chance, I noticed the secret technique of the Uchiha clan, Izanagi."
"This secret technique has the ability to transform factors that are unfavorable to oneself into illusions. Conversely, it can also transform illusions that are favorable to oneself into reality."
"After that, I spent some time and successfully transformed this secret technique."
Transform reality into illusion!
Covering reality with illusion!
Kaito was so shocked by the Sage of Six Paths's crazy idea.
The other party actually wanted to use the illusion of Uchiha Madara being defeated and Black Zetsu being sealed in the "Eternal Tsukuyomi" to cover the reality that had really happened in this time and space!
However, even though "Izanagi" is called the ultimate eye technique of the Sharingan, it can only rewrite the reality of the caster himself, and it can only last for one minute.
So.
"Is this really possible?"
At this moment, there were only the Sage of Six Paths and Kaito in this world. He did not hide his shock and asked directly.
In response to Kaito's question, the Sage of Six Paths showed an unprecedented look of determination on his face.
"It can be done!"
After saying this, the Sage of Six Paths clasped his hands together and suddenly rose high into the sky.
At this moment, the Sage of Six Paths was surrounded by brilliant light and endless chakra surged out.
"Secret Technique: Divine Birth Nest Day"
As this brilliant and majestic voice fell.
The 'real' world in Kaito's eyes suddenly became illusory.
The light and shadows kept flickering and alternating.
Kaito seemed to see the scene in his memory again when he first came to this time and space.
In the sky, under the scarlet moonlight, the nine-tomoe Rinnegan was reflected.
Above the barren land, a huge sacred tree reaching into the sky stands in the center of the world.
At the very bottom, above the roots of the sacred tree, are countless human figures wrapped like mummies.
The surrounding environment reveals a desolate and sad atmosphere like dead silence.
Kaito was horrified.
In this real world, all the houses are corrupt and collapsed.
Even the stone creations reveal the vicissitudes of time.
'How long has this world of Infinite Tsukuyomi lasted?'
It was not until this moment that Kaito realized what the Sage of Six Paths meant by "spending some time to transform the secret technique".
It was probably a long and lonely period that was far beyond his imagination.
As the shadows of the two worlds continued to flicker alternately, the frequency became faster and faster.
Kaito also noticed that in the real world, the bright moon in the sky with the Nine-tomoe Rinnegan engraved on it gradually turned into the appearance of the Rinnegan of the Sage of Six Paths.
He actually grafted his own eye technique into the 'Infinite Tsukuyomi'.
It seems that the ultimate illusion of covering reality with illusion is about to be completed.
Kaito also asked his last question to the Sage of Six Paths in the sky.
"Why me? How can you be sure that I can defeat Uchiha Madara?!"
Since the Sage of Six Paths has grafted the eye technique onto the 'Infinite Tsukuyomi', he can also cover reality with illusion.
Then why not choose one from the illusions of people who already exist in this world and twist it into reality?
Instead, he gambled on Kaito, an outsider.
The Sage of Six Paths in mid-air looked down at Kaito after hearing his shout.
"I had no choice."
Then the Sage of Six Paths was silent for a moment before continuing in a calm tone.
"There is a truth in you that even the Infinite Tsukuyomi cannot shake!"
After saying this, the Sage of Six Paths did not speak again.
However, Kaito could see that the other party's originally lavender eyes were slowly fading and becoming blind.
Even the red mark on his forehead gradually disappeared.
The constantly flickering world finally froze at this moment.
This was the scene where Kaito's final battle with Uchiha Madara ended.
Feel the warm breeze full of vitality blowing on his cheeks again.
There was no telling how long the Sage of Six Paths had existed alone in this world, but now two lines of clear tears flowed from his blind eyes.
Then the Sage of Six Paths bowed slightly towards the sky, in a direction where there was nothing.
As if he was relieved, he spoke in a gentle tone.
"Thanks."
And below, Kaito also felt that time had resumed its flow.
He stared at the slowly disappearing figure in the sky for a long time in silence.
Until the energetic and cheerful voice of a young girl came to his ears.
"Hey~ What are you looking at?"
