From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 228 Help! A married woman has come knocking on our door!

Communicating with mentally ill people is truly exhausting.
Having finally managed to "send off" Mr. A, the Dark Saint couldn't wait to return to the side of "subjective" thought.

As for that damned mental patient, let's leave him to cause headaches for the main consciousness!

In a blink of an eye.

As the separated virtual personality returned and the memories were reintegrated, 'Adam' was immediately jolted.

Fortunately, the demigod who was the audience's guide had extremely strong control over his mind, which prevented him from revealing any flaws and being detected by Orochimaru.

"Hiss, is this the legendary 'the crazier, the stronger'?" Uchiha Munetsuki's expression was subtle, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He was genuinely shocked and wondered if this was the correct way to unlock the 'Hanged Man' technique. It was simply outrageous!
However, considering Mr. A's excellent performance, he didn't bother to interfere with this guy.

Although he's a bit crazy, he's still quite reliable. If things really get out of control, he can only tearfully feed the 'wriggling hunger' with his life.

Returning to his senses, 'Adam' said calmly, "Is there anything else?"

“Mr. Adam, there is one more thing I must tell you.”

Orochimaru dared not hide anything and told them in detail about his attempt to reveal some information and his plan to recruit Uchiha Mikoto.

Adam's deep, pale gold eyes cast a scrutinizing gaze. He tapped the bronze table lightly with his index finger and asked meaningfully, "You're very clever. So, do you know what the members of the Twilight Hermitage have in common?"

What they have in common?
Orochimaru fell into thought, but there was too little information among the members to make an effective analysis. He shook his head and said bitterly, "I really can't guess, Mr. Adam."

"The answer is the 'weight' of fate."

Adam stopped tapping his index finger, then crossed his hands and placed them on his crossed legs, adopting a more relaxed sitting posture: "Everything has a different 'weight,' either having a very small impact on the world, as light as a feather; or having a very large impact on the world, as heavy as a mountain."

"what do you mean"

Orochimaru was slightly taken aback, seemingly understanding: "We will have a huge impact on the world in the future, won't we?"

Adam chuckled and said, “For example, a single thought or action by some people can drastically change their destiny and thus influence the course of the world. On the other hand, some people spend their entire lives as nothing more than a speck of dust in the long river of fate, unable to even create a ripple.”

Fate is truly a cruel word!

But it is precisely for this reason that he is willing to pay any price to embark on the 'path of the gods' and completely get rid of this powerlessness!

"Some people scheme and plot, trying to stir up trouble, but they are insignificant to the world."

"Some people, with a single wrong thought, can turn the world upside down."

"And that is the difference in the 'weight' of fate."

"Now, do you understand? Orochimaru."

The theory expounded by 'Adam' deeply resonated with Orochimaru.

He exhaled a breath of stale air and said in a deep voice, "I understand what you mean. I'm very sorry, Mr. Adam. This time, I acted on my own initiative. I will handle the matter of Uchiha Mikoto with Sakumo Hatake and we will make sure no one else suspects anything!"

Although it was cruel, he didn't feel guilty.

After all, from the very beginning, he had never promised Uchiha Mikoto that he could grant her wish.

"Don't blame me, Uchiha Mikoto." Orochimaru squinted, thinking to himself, "This is all... a choice of fate."

He had already mentally devised more than a dozen plans on how to deal with Uchiha Mikoto, and he was sure that he would not leave any loopholes.

Just then, Adam chuckled and said, "No, I mean yes."

can?

Orochimaru paused for half a second before realizing what he meant: "You mean, you're allowing Uchiha Mikoto to join the Twilight Sect?"

"why not?"

Adam rested his chin on his hand and said with great interest.

"Lord Adam, please forgive me for not understanding, but you just mentioned the 'weight' of fate."

Orochimaru looked puzzled and asked, "But Uchiha Mikoto is clearly not the kind of person who can have a significant impact on the world and destiny, so why did you agree to let her join?"

"Just a simple experiment."

Adam then changed the subject, saying, "Don't you find it interesting that someone who was originally insignificant to the world and fate can completely reverse the 'weight' of destiny?"

With just a few words, one can effortlessly change a person's fate—what immense power that is!

Orochimaru was deeply shocked, and his reverence for 'Adam' deepened: "As you wish, Mr. Adam." Uchiha clan territory.

At this very moment, the remaining members of the Uchiha clan are engrossed in a wild celebration.

The reason for the celebration was that, following Uchiha Muneki, another ninja with the 'Mangekyou Sharingan' had emerged among them.

The black flames that ignited most of the forest outside Konoha were clearly visible to anyone who wasn't blind. They were undoubtedly recorded in the secret scrolls and could only be used by those who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan—the strongest Fire Release technique, 'Amaterasu'!
Looking at the bustling crowd, Mikoto Uchiha only felt that it was noisy.

"I'm going back to rest."

She slowly rose from her seat, not looking at Fugaku beside her, and left the banquet directly.

Since Muneki's death, she has become increasingly withdrawn and even unwilling to get close to people. She spends most of her time alone and rarely even sees Fugaku.

After leaving the noisy banquet, Mikoto's mind was filled with thoughts of when the 'opportunity' Orochimaru had mentioned would finally appear.

Without realizing it, she looked up blankly and found herself unconsciously standing in front of Uchiha Munezuki's house.

Since we're already here, let's go in and take another look.

Mikoto pushed open the door and entered. Although Muneki had been dead for several months, the room was still tidy, thanks to her coming over from time to time and cleaning the room carefully.

"Who?!"

Suddenly, Mikoto sensed an unusual chakra. Her eyes sharpened as she swept across the corner of the room: "Get out here!"

sizzle
A small white snake emerged from the corner.

Then, the small white snake raised its head and spat out a scroll from its mouth.

Is this Orochimaru's summoning beast?

Mikoto hesitated for a moment, then squatted down and took the scroll from the white snake's mouth. After opening it, there were only a few lines of text on it.

"A dragon roaming the ocean of the soul,"
The shadow of the times

The ancient rulers of distant past,
I beg for your gaze.

She subconsciously recited these words to herself.

The next moment, Mikoto Uchiha's eyes were empty, and she felt herself being dragged into boundless darkness.

On the vast, boundless ocean, she fell helplessly downwards, sinking into the sea that gathered the consciousness of all living beings, like a phantom of stars, mixed with whispered murmurs, sometimes illusory, sometimes frenzied.

Finally, the scattered and falling consciousness reassembled in the boundless black mist.

As if waking from a dream, Uchiha Mikoto gazed at the majestic and imposing Church of the Corpse before her, her heart surging with shock, and a hint of astonishment showing in her beautiful eyes.

"here it is"

This sacred church, built from piles of bones, made Mikoto feel an inexplicable pressure.

"The Twilight Hermitage".

At this moment, a voice containing supreme will and ethereal sound echoed in the hall.

Uchiha Mikoto looked in that direction and saw a large cross made of bones beneath an ancient, mottled bronze table with several chairs arranged on both sides. The most eye-catching of these was the 'main seat,' which was several times larger than the other chairs, as if it were meant for a giant.

On that enormous bronze chair, a figure shrouded in a hazy light was gazing at her, the 'uninvited guest,' with indifferent, pale golden eyes.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

The figure, who seemed to exist like a god, spoke gently and calmly.

"I"

Mikoto Uchiha, who was being 'watched', felt that her inner thoughts had been completely exposed, and that not a single thought could escape that gaze.

"I want to revive Uchiha Munezuki!"

The beautiful married woman, her eyes reddening, spoke truthfully to that great being.

March 15th, sunny

Cat poop smells so bad! Why does it smell so bad? It's like milk that's been fermenting for 15 days at 45 degrees Celsius, with a slightly pungent, milky smell, and then it mixes with the smell of an open-air latrine. It feels like my nose has been punched!
