From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 208 The Correct Use of Pollution!
Side Quest: The Unknown 'Contamination'

You wouldn't want to see a demigod, through the audience's means, lose control, would you? Please clear away or suppress any unknown contamination at the spiritual level.

[Reward: 10 Bound Person Path 9~6 Magic Potions]

With the emergence of the second mission, Uchiha Munetsuki finally made his decision.

The dark red shadow lurking deep within his spirit was indeed 'pollution,' and its level was definitely not low.

You must understand, he was a 'demigod' in the audience's realm, and his greatest strength lay in the mental and spiritual realms. Yet, in his strongest area, he was silently corrupted.

If he hadn't been careful and checked his consciousness island and spirituality as soon as he returned, and had allowed the 'contamination' to continue to lurk, he might have been unknowingly influenced and completely lost control and went mad. The consequences would have been unimaginable!
If a demigod who is a mere spectator were to go out of control and become insane, he might not be capable of destroying the world, but he could certainly wipe out all life.

By simply spreading a highly contagious mental plague, a mere demigod through the audience pathway could easily slaughter millions of lives. Even if he wanted to exterminate the entire Naruto world, it would only be a matter of time for him.

Thinking of all the terrible consequences, Uchiha Muneki couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

It seems that even after advancing to Sequence 4 demigod, he cannot let his guard down, otherwise he might make a huge fool of himself if he were to suffer an unexpected setback.

He didn't want to end up like Emperor Roselle, lying in a coffin doing sit-ups at such a young age.

The system is a bit of a pain!

Uchiha Muneki frowned deeply.

The task prompt only pops up when 'contamination' is detected. What if it's not detected?

Most likely, the system won't give any warnings, letting it get contaminated and then completely out of control and go crazy.

"When exactly?"

Uchiha Muneki closed his eyes, and memories flashed through his mind like a movie.

Scene after scene, every detail was captured, and the final, shimmering image was frozen on that 'blood-red moon'.

"A blood-red moon. A moon mission? The moon?" Suddenly, Uchiha Sogetsu's pupils contracted, and a chill ran down his spine involuntarily: "It shouldn't be... possible, right?!"

The only possible point in time when he was contaminated was when he infiltrated Isshiki Otsutsuki's island of consciousness and fought against that blood-red moon.

Just after he left, the system issued a task.

Lunar pollution
Uchiha Muneki simply couldn't believe that such a coincidence could exist in the world.

Someone once said that if all other possibilities are eliminated, then the remaining possibility, no matter how 'impossible' it may seem, must be the answer.

"No way," he muttered, his lips twitching as he looked up at the sky.

A chill inexplicably rose from the depths of his heart at the enormous satellite created by the Sage of Six Paths to seal the Ten-Tails' hull and Kaguya.

The origins of the Otsutsuki clan seem to be more complex than they appear.

Fortunately, I discovered it in time.

Recovering from the shock, Uchiha Muneki 'calmed' his uneasy mind and let out a long breath: "Don't think about it too much. There will be a way to deal with the moon's matter in the future. The most important thing now is to find a way to cleanse the pollution deep within the spirit."

After a moment of contemplation, he simulated several illusory personalities deep within the island of his subconscious.

The mind and consciousness are jointly controlled by the primary personality and multiple personalities, and then, like peeling away layers of an onion, they carefully perform an extremely delicate spiritual 'operation' on the spiritual level.

The dark red source of pollution was gradually stripped away from the spiritual level.

This process must not be rushed.

With the slightest mistake, the pollution will not only fail to be eliminated, but may even take root deeper.

When that happens, it won't be so easy to completely remove the pollution.

"I am Uchiha Munegetsu, a transmigrator from Earth!"

"I must remain calm and not let any thoughts affect me."

“Once I have any unusual thoughts, it means that ‘I’ have been ‘contaminated’. I can temporarily suppress my main personality through a virtual personality.” He repeatedly hypnotized himself and drew a ‘boundary’ in his mind.

Once that 'boundary' is crossed, it means that he has been corrupted. At that time, the virtual personality will react instantly and temporarily suppress the main personality to prevent the corruption from spreading further.

On the ocean of the subconscious, the island symbolizing 'Uchiha Sogetsu' trembled continuously in a blood-red light.

Then, a series of illusory nets, woven from pure intention, appeared on the island, seeping into the subconscious within the island of the mind, suppressing the 'pollution' hidden deep within the spiritual realm, and constantly shrinking it.

In the end, 'pollution' was compressed into a single point by the illusory idea.

"It's now!"

A dazzling light burst forth from Uchiha Munezuki's pale golden eyes.

He suddenly reached out, his hand covered in grayish-white scales, his five fingers like ferocious dragon claws, and grabbed the 'source of pollution' trapped in the net of restriction, pulling hard.

Tsk-!
A spiritual shock, a tearing pain, swept through my entire body.

Uchiha Muneki was panting heavily, his pupils bloodshot, his whole body drenched in sweat as if he had just been pulled out of the water, his wet hair plastered to his cheeks, his pale golden vertical pupils shifting downwards as he stared at the 'thing' that had been pulled out: "Is this the source of the pollution?"

The projection of the pollution source in the real world is a deep red tumor with countless tentacles.

The surface of the sarcoma was covered with thick blood vessels, wrapped around the yellow, purulent eyeball, oozing a disgusting, viscous fluid, and even seemed to be pumping powerfully in his hand like a living heart.

Before the 'source of pollution' could continue, Uchiha Muneki sealed it away.

"It would be a shame to lose this."

Uchiha Muneki lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then suddenly came up with a good idea.

“It’s not good to take someone’s eyes for free. I’m not the kind of person who takes advantage of others.” He chuckled, a plan forming in his mind. Looking at the sealed 'source of pollution,' he said playfully, “Why don’t I just give it to Obito? He can also do me a small favor while he’s at it.”

Since losing his sight, Obito Uchiha has been imprisoned in a cell.

The dark, damp, and cramped environment nearly drove him insane several times. If he hadn't been 'trained' by similar experiences, he probably would have committed suicide by now.

He had broken down, screamed, suffered, and repented, yet this cell seemed to have been built just for him.

There was no response, no sign of life; the silence and darkness were almost eternal.

Gradually, Obito stopped going crazy and roaring. Instead, he quietly squatted in a corner, remaining silent all day. With his eyes gouged out, the only remaining black holes stared blankly and listlessly at a certain spot, like a puppet whose soul had been taken away.

Obito thought he would spend his life here until he died.

But just when he was in utter despair, Obito suddenly felt that something was different; his dormant power was awakened once more from within his body.

Boom!
dong dong!

Boom boom boom!
A strong, powerful heartbeat burst forth from his chest.

Suppressed despair and madness broke free of his 'cage' at this moment, and endless desire and rage destroyed his reason.

“Ahhhh——!!!”

Obito Uchiha broke free of his shackles.

At this moment, in the dark corner of the cage, Uchiha Sogetsu stood silently, his pale golden eyes gazing intently at the madman.

"Sequence 9 prisoner."
