Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens

#125 - Cut off the cause and effect! The opening of the eternal kaleidoscope, the deaf and dumb seni

With his mind filled with thoughts of pursuing immortality, Orochimaru, although having ingested Luo Fu's blood, which subtly instilled a growing loyalty towards Luo Fu, couldn't deny that this effect of Luo Fu's blood didn't greatly influence his talents.

In fact, because of consuming Luo Fu's blood and the continuous improvement of his life essence, his abilities in all aspects were enhanced.

This strengthening of his life essence allowed Orochimaru to truly see the hope of a perfect method for achieving immortality.

Compared to this all-encompassing power and enhancement, the Sharingan alone could no longer make Orochimaru abandon his own body to seize the Uchiha clan's bloodline.

No matter how powerful someone else's bloodline is, could it compare to his own? Perhaps it couldn't before, but even now, after just one wave of enhancement, Orochimaru could feel how terrifying his potential was.

Wasn't Uchiha Madara, who awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, still killed by Hashirama Senju?

However, no longer having the idea of seizing an Uchiha's body didn't mean Orochimaru wasn't curious about the Uchiha clan's bloodline.

Carefully putting away the two Mangekyo Sharingan, Orochimaru said, "Lord Luo Fu, it seems there are quite a few fools in the Uchiha clan."

In Orochimaru's eyes, Uchiha Shisui, who had relied on his Mangekyo Sharingan to provoke Luo Fu earlier, was a fool.

Luo Fu nodded faintly and said, "From the moment they abandoned Uchiha Madara, this clan began its irreversible decline."

Although he looked down on the Uchiha clan, he had lived among them for so long, and more importantly, during his growth, Luo Fu had indeed received a lot of care from the Uchiha clan.

If the Uchiha clan hadn't been reduced to war orphans and sent to the battlefield at such a young age, even with his awakened memories from his previous life, Luo Fu might not have survived to the day he entered the shared space.

Even to repay the karma from back then, Luo Fu would give the members of the Uchiha clan a chance to choose.

However, if the Uchiha clan still treated him like they treated Uchiha Madara back then, then for Luo Fu, the karma would be cleared.

"Uchiha clan."

Luo Fu's voice, amplified by gravity, was mighty and deafening.

But strangely, the voice that reached the ears of all Uchiha at that moment was limited to the Uchiha clan. It was as if the sound waves completely lacked range and coverage, becoming a point-to-point transmission method.

The enormous sound allowed all the Uchiha to only hear Luo Fu's words at this moment.

"Konoha is already rotten. As a millennium-old clan, the Uchiha will seek a new path. Those who have this awareness can step forward. I will lead you to open up a new world."

Enduring the tremors caused by the enormous sound, Uchiha Fugaku said angrily, "Luo Fu, do you want to divide the Uchiha?"

At this time, Luo Fu was too lazy to pay attention to Uchiha Fugaku.

Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, not a single member of the Uchiha clan stepped forward.

Even those who had clearly expressed their support for Luo Fu within the clan were silent at this moment.

Luo Fu quickly understood this situation.

The Uchiha of Konoha had been completely domesticated. Compared to following Luo Fu to explore an unknown future, staying in Konoha was more appealing to many Uchiha.

After all, these Uchiha within the clan didn't know Luo Fu's strength at all.

On the contrary, Konoha, the victor of three consecutive Ninja World Wars, was seen as the unique and strongest village in the ninja world.

Even if the Uchiha and the Konoha high-level officials didn't get along, the Uchiha who stayed in Konoha could still share the glory brought by the village.

In addition, the stability of Konoha made it impossible for these Uchiha to make a decisive choice.

Don't be deceived by the seemingly stable environment of Konoha. The stability of Konoha is the result of the entire village working together.

The real ninja world is a completely different ecological environment from Konoha.

Bandits, thieves, rogue ninja... dangers are everywhere. This is the norm in the ninja world.

The Uchiha clan was reluctant to part with such stability and peace, which Luo Fu fully understood.

Even if these people had previously supported Luo Fu wholeheartedly, they were more interested in uniting around Luo Fu to resist those like-minded clan members, striving for more benefits and advantages for the entire Uchiha in Konoha.

But to ask them to follow Luo Fu empty-handed to create an unknown future, and to face the harsh living environment of the ninja world in the process, these people instantly changed their minds.

"Lord Luo Fu, foolish people cannot see the future." Orochimaru said with some emotion, "Even Uchiha Madara, as the head of the Uchiha clan, was abandoned by these people. You don't need to care too much."

"What makes you think I care about these foolish guys?" Luo Fu glanced at Orochimaru and said, "I'm just giving them a chance to choose. After all, in the past, I did receive protection from this clan, and the opportunity I give them to choose is to repay this karma. It's just like even if you plan to leave Konoha, you still don't have the idea of destroying this village."

Orochimaru's eyes flashed, and he instantly understood Luo Fu's thoughts.

After all, he was the same.

Although he hated the corruption of Konoha, it was undeniable that this was where he grew up. Even if he left, Orochimaru didn't intend to destroy the entire village.

Just when Luo Fu and Orochimaru both thought that the Uchiha clan would abandon the choice given by Luo Fu, just like they treated Uchiha Madara back then.

Within the Uchiha clan's territory under their feet, a weak voice suddenly rang out.

"Nii-san, are... are you leaving? Can you not abandon Izumi?"

Following the sound, Uchiha Izumi, with a look of fear, was looking firmly in Luo Fu's direction.

"Izumi, what are you doing? Do you also want to betray the village and the Will of Fire like this rogue ninja?"

Beside Uchiha Izumi, Uchiha Itachi looked heartbroken, and beside him was Uchiha Mikoto, holding her younger brother Uchiha Sasuke.

"Itachi."

Uchiha Mikoto was afraid that Uchiha Itachi's actions would cause Luo Fu's dissatisfaction.

In Uchiha Mikoto's heart, Luo Fu was definitely a cold-blooded monster.

Even the Uzumaki Kushina couple, he could watch their family tragedy happen before his eyes.

No matter what choice Uchiha Izumi made, in Uchiha Mikoto's heart, this was a bond between Luo Fu and Uchiha Izumi, and it had nothing to do with them. Even for their own safety, they must never get involved in such a thing.

As a smart woman, Uchiha Mikoto knew very well that if Izumi didn't choose to leave with Luo Fu at this time, her fate in the village would definitely not be good.

After all, as Uchiha Luo Fu's only younger sister, even with the protection of the Uchiha clan, Izumi's fate could be guessed from the families of those rogue ninja.

"Mother." Uchiha Itachi glanced at Uchiha Mikoto unwillingly, and said with hatred in his voice, "This guy... this guy killed Shisui-san."

Uchiha Mikoto was shocked. Before her eyes, the son who was always praised by her husband usually revealed rapidly spinning three-tomoe Sharingan in his eyes at this moment.

Having awakened the three-tomoe at such a young age, Uchiha Mikoto was really afraid that Uchiha Itachi would awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan because of Uchiha Shisui's death.

Fortunately, whether it was because he was too young, or because the current Uchiha Itachi hadn't established the solid bond with Uchiha Shisui like in the future, enough to entrust each other's dreams.

After spinning for a while, the three-tomoe Sharingan still didn't evolve into a Mangekyo.

Both happy and somewhat disappointed, Uchiha Mikoto said with a complicated expression, "Izumi... it's better for her to leave with Luo Fu than to stay in the village!"

As a mother, Uchiha Mikoto was naturally somewhat disappointed that her son hadn't awakened the Mangekyo, possessing this powerful force, but more of it was joy. After all, as the clan leader's wife, her husband was someone who had awakened the Mangekyo.

She naturally knew how painful it was to awaken the Mangekyo, and no mother would be willing to see her son experience such pain.

"Mother, why would you say that? Luo Fu is going to become a rogue ninja." Uchiha Itachi looked puzzled.

Looking at the young Uchiha Itachi with a complicated expression, Uchiha Mikoto said, "Whether Luo Fu is a rogue ninja or not needs to be decided by the village and the elders!"

"But..." Even if he was smart, Uchiha Itachi was just a child after all. In his world, right and wrong, good and evil, were like clearly defined black and white colors.

Right is right, wrong is wrong. Luo Fu's current actions are betraying the village, even betraying the clan.

"Enough." Uchiha Mikoto didn't want to instill these things into Uchiha Itachi so early. She changed the subject and said, "Why don't you go see Shisui first? Maybe he's just injured and needs someone to take care of him now."

Uchiha Itachi was caught in a dilemma.

One was Uchiha Shisui, who was like a guide in his life, and the other was his childhood sweetheart who he had feelings for.

The difficult choice made Uchiha Itachi experience pain and struggle for the first time.

Unwillingly, Uchiha Itachi was still somewhat worried about Shisui's situation. Looking at Uchiha Izumi, he said, "Izumi, promise me, you must never betray the village, okay?"

A trace of entanglement flashed across Uchiha Izumi's brow.

As childhood friends, Uchiha Izumi might not necessarily harbor romantic feelings for Uchiha Itachi, but as playmates, she certainly held some affection for him.

However, compared to Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Izumi, perhaps because of her orphan status, was much more decisive in her choices.

After a moment of inner struggle, she quickly made a decision.

"I'm sorry, Itachi."

Bowing deeply to Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Izumi said firmly, "I will follow Nii-chan."

It must be admitted that within the Uchiha clan, the bond between brothers was quite peculiar.

But in reality, the relationships between siblings, whether brother and sister or sisters, were not necessarily any more normal.

This special emotion was not only due to the influence on the mind and spirit but also inseparable from the complementary factors between bloodlines.

Don't forget that the condition for unlocking the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan was obtaining the eyes of a blood relative. And in the absence of siblings, this influence between bloodlines would naturally affect the person with the closest blood relationship.

This was the instinct of the bloodline itself to evolve, a kind of subtle influence.

Even though Uchiha Izumi had not established a very deep bond with Luo Fu before this, when such a choice appeared, after a brief struggle and hesitation in her heart, she still obeyed the instinct of life.

Of course, this was also because Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Itachi did not have such deep feelings for each other at this time.

Otherwise, the situation would definitely be different.

In the sky, from the moment Uchiha Izumi spoke, Luo Fu and Orochimaru's gazes were cast upon her.

Seeing Uchiha Izumi make her choice.

An invisible force instantly pulled Uchiha Izumi high into the air, directly flying her to Luo Fu's side.

"Nii... Nii-chan."

Being suddenly pulled into the air by Luo Fu, Uchiha Izumi suddenly became a little nervous.

"Lord Luo Fu, it seems that compared to Uchiha Madara, you still have supporters in the Uchiha clan!" Orochimaru said jokingly.

Luo Fu only glanced at Orochimaru before directly instructing, "You can study Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan, but protect it well. In the future, it might be used for Izumi."

With Luo Fu's conditions, he certainly didn't need the Mangekyou Sharingan of a close blood relative to help him advance to the Eternal Eyes.

After all, with Luo Fu's current recovery ability, there was no possibility of his eyes going blind. Especially after sharing the physique, abilities, knowledge, and so on of Death God Luo Fu, Luo Fu could even feel that his spiritual energy was constantly increasing at a slow but endless speed.

The increase in spiritual energy even caused Luo Fu's eye power to surge.

Once someone else's Mangekyou Sharingan was activated, as long as they used these eyes, the recovery speed of their eye power would not be able to keep up with the rate of consumption.

If using the Mangekyou Sharingan once consumed ten points of eye power, then even with all-out recovery, they would only be able to recover one point.

Overall, the loss of eye power from the Mangekyou Sharingan was an irreversible disappearance.

But Luo Fu was different. Not only did his Mangekyou Sharingan not lose any eye power, but it was constantly increasing. When it increased to a certain level, the Eternal Eyes would be a natural result.

Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan had almost no meaning to Luo Fu. He didn't even plan to imprint Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan ability on himself.

In fact, Kotoamatsukami seemed powerful, but in reality, it was only bullying the natives of the ninja world who didn't have any cultivation.

Not to mention anything else, the Twin Spirit Technique among the Eight Wonders of the Otherworld was a method that Kotoamatsukami couldn't even catch up to.

Moreover, Kotoamatsukami had the limitation of needing several years to recover after using it once.

All kinds of drawbacks made Kotoamatsukami, an eye technique that was like a BUG in the eyes of others, seem like a chicken rib in Luo Fu's heart, tasteless to eat but a pity to discard.

After weighing the pros and cons, Luo Fu finally chose to give up the idea of imprinting Kotoamatsukami.

After all, his Sharingan, although powerful, had six pupil technique slots in each eye, almost allowing him to imprint twelve pupil techniques.

However, the imprinted pupil techniques were not awakened by Luo Fu himself.

If a Mangekyou Sharingan's pupil technique was awakened by oneself, then at the moment of awakening, it would obtain a corresponding name.

Luo Fu was different because Uchiha Fugaku had not said what this pupil technique that could see into the future was called, so Luo Fu naturally had no way of knowing.

However, for Luo Fu, he cared more about the effect of using the so-called pupil technique, and the name didn't matter at all.

With only eight pupil technique slots left, Luo Fu naturally had to choose more powerful abilities.

For example, the Dust Release of the Bloodline Selection, the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, and even the abilities of the Sage of Six Paths and the Otsutsuki clan, these should be Luo Fu's choices.

Orochimaru's eyes lit up, and he said meaningfully, "It seems that there are still things I don't know about the Uchiha clan's Mangekyou Sharingan."

As the only person in the Uchiha clan who was willing to follow Luo Fu, even if Uchiha Izumi was just a little girl, Orochimaru was confident that Luo Fu would not treat Uchiha Izumi badly.

After all, as a superior, even someone who was regarded as a threat to the Hokage by Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and others, Orochimaru certainly knew how to win over the hearts of his subordinates.

Simply drawing a big cake might be useful once or twice, but even drawing a big cake needed an example of buying a horse's bones with a thousand gold.

Without a doubt, as the first, and perhaps the only follower, even if she was young, Luo Fu would not treat Uchiha Izumi badly.

Given that Uchiha Izumi herself had the Sharingan, what was the purpose of leaving Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan to Uchiha Izumi?

The only thing that could be confirmed was that Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan was definitely beneficial to Luo Fu.

While Luo Fu was giving the Uchiha clan a chance to choose.

Inside the Hokage Building in Konoha.

The heads of the various clans and the Jonin who had made great achievements and possessed strong strength had gathered together.

Even Akimichi Torifu, who had not appeared for a long time and whose qualifications were teammates with Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane, personally came forward.

"What exactly is going on with this Luo Fu? How did he and Orochimaru get together?" Akimichi Torifu, who was the oldest but did not hold the position of elder, was the first to speak, asking everyone's doubts.

As clan heads of various families and Jonin with the right to vote for the Hokage, how could they not be aware of Luo Fu's deterrent power?

That was a true existence that could only make everyone tacitly choose to turn a deaf ear.

But now, Luo Fu had jumped out so brazenly, which made Konoha a little embarrassed all of a sudden.

Targeting Luo Fu? Don't be kidding. Putting aside everything else, Luo Fu's strength alone was enough to cause devastating damage to Konoha.

Which of these clan heads and Jonin with voting rights didn't know how powerful Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were back then?

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi had been sparing no effort to increase his prestige in the village since becoming Hokage, and even went so far as to tamper with Konoha's history in the Ninja Academy.

But before the new generation had truly grown up, only those civilian ninjas with shallow foundations would take the Ninja Academy's textbooks seriously. Which of the long-standing families didn't know what was going on?

But if Luo Fu was allowed to do as he pleased, where would Konoha's face be? The village and the Will of Fire would be hit.

Neither having the courage and strength to deal with Luo Fu nor being able to turn a deaf ear and pretend not to see.

For a time, everyone gathered in the Hokage's office was a little embarrassed.

"Torifu, we didn't expect this to happen either." Homura Mitokado pushed up his glasses and said with a wry smile, "I believe everyone knows about Orochimaru's situation. Hiruzen and we had to deal with Orochimaru for the sake of the village, but... but who would have thought that Luo Fu, who had nothing to do with Orochimaru before, not only happened to be in Orochimaru's laboratory but even chose to betray the village with Orochimaru."

"Where's Hiruzen?" Akimichi Torifu ignored Homura Mitokado's evasive remarks and went straight to the focus.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's position as Hokage was not truly stable yet. After all, he took this position in the name of temporarily acting as Hokage to maintain the overall situation after the Fourth Hokage's sacrifice.

"He..." Koharu Utatane hadn't said where Hiruzen Sarutobi had gone.

Surrounded and protected by a group of Anbu ninjas, the seriously injured Hiruzen Sarutobi had already appeared in front of them.

"Hiruzen?" Akimichi Torifu was immediately shocked.

That seemingly fat but very agile body instantly came to Hiruzen Sarutobi's side, ignoring the Anbu ninjas' obstruction, and began to examine his body.

Stopping the excited Anbu ninjas, Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a wry smile, "Torifu, I didn't expect even you to come. I'm afraid I'll disappoint everyone this time."

"Your injury..." In an instant, he determined that Hiruzen Sarutobi had not only broken more than a dozen ribs but even suffered serious damage to his internal organs.

At this time, Akimichi Torifu was too embarrassed to say any more blaming words.

"Alas..." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed helplessly.

"I found out that Orochimaru had a secret underground laboratory on the edge of the village. I originally planned to take the opportunity to lead the Anbu ninjas to sneak into it and capture Orochimaru, but I didn't expect that Luo Fu was there too!"

After a slight pause and two coughs, Hiruzen Sarutobi said weakly, "My injury was caused by him. His strength is very strong, even... even not inferior to the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha back then!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's words immediately caused the faces of the ninjas present to change drastically.
