From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 266 Sequence 1: Divine Evil

Watching another person 'emerge' from his body, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was greatly shocked.

His eyes widened, filled with terror and confusion. He stared at the people hanging in mid-air, swinging back and forth like pendulums, emitting eerie laughs; then he stared at the mysterious man who had just emerged from his body: "Who...who are you? When did you get inside me?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Munetsuki turned around, glanced at him, and chuckled, "Me? To be precise, I've been inside your body from the very beginning."

From the very beginning, Otsutsuki Isshiki paused for half a second, staring at that face, a sense of familiarity welling up within him: "Have we... met somewhere before?"

Uchiha Muneki smiled without saying a word, quietly watching him.

Those pale golden eyes were clear and bright, as if they could reflect the most sincere thoughts and ideas deep in everyone's heart.

It was very familiar, especially those pale golden eyes, which instantly awakened Otsutsuki Isshiki's memories, that fear etched into his bones. His expression changed drastically, and his face showed horror: "It's you, that... dragon!"

But the moment he recognized him, his thoughts suddenly became sluggish.

His pale golden vertical pupils, with their blazing light like a star, seemed to burn away his soul, deeply etched into the island of his mind.

Then, Otsutsuki Isshiki's eyes lost focus, becoming empty and lifeless, staring blankly ahead, his mind a complete blank, as if he had been stripped of his mind and reduced to a mindless puppet. He slowly stood up from the ground and staggered towards the blood-red vines.

Immediately afterwards, a blood-red vine wrapped around his body and slowly connected to the back of his head.

"Uh-huh."

Otsutsuki Isshiki trembled violently, as if having an epileptic seizure, his eyes rolling back.

The crimson vines slowly burrowed into his brain, and then, like the others, slowly hoisted him into the air.

"As expected, it's still not as convenient as 'parasite' and 'spirit thread'."

Uchiha Muneki frowned slightly, seemingly not very satisfied with this performance.

Multiple layers of 'hypnosis' were implanted in advance, and over three years, they gradually eroded Isshiki Otsutsuki's mental island, completely taking over his mental body, astral body, and ethereal body, thus turning him into their 'puppet' from the inside out.

I have to say, it's really exhausting. If it were just about 'guiding' or 'hypnotizing' someone to do something, it wouldn't be this troublesome.

The main reason is that he needs the 'Otsutsuki Isshiki' to act as a 'puppet', which is a defensive measure against 'contamination', but as it stands, the effect is not very good.

Having just come face to face with the source of the 'pollution,' this 'puppet' couldn't hold on any longer.

"What a pity, it would have been better if he were a 'thief' or a 'fortune teller'."

Uchiha Muneki let out a heartfelt sigh.

For extraordinary individuals on the audience's path, controlling a 'puppet' in the early stages is far less efficient and convenient than using a 'thief' or 'diviner'.

It's a pity that the 'Thief' and 'Diviner' pathways in the Naruto world don't have any high-sequence Extraordinary users. Otherwise, he could have used the 'Traveler's Notebook' to record them, just like he recorded the ability to 'resentful spirits,' which would have been much more convenient.

Looking at those people hanging in mid-air by blood-red vines, Uchiha Munezuki had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

But the 'system' hasn't indicated that the task is complete yet. It seems there's no way to cheat; I have to witness it firsthand or find some 'evidence'.

As he pondered, the Otsutsuki clan members hanging in mid-air were all lowered down. Once on the ground, they stared at him with their Byakugan, their lips slowly curving into a startling smile: "Found you. Uchiha Munetsuki. Come and have a child with us."

Under the law of extraordinary property aggregation, even if they are not extraordinary individuals from the same path, the extraordinary property of Sequence 4 still has a great attraction for them.

Of course, the most likely possibility is that he is the only extraordinary being in this desolate place.

"No, I refuse."

Uchiha Munetsuki frowned, a look of disgust on his face: "Who wants to have a child with you guys? It's disgusting."

He would rather seek out the witch and experience ultimate pleasure than come here to find the Mother Tree of Desire.

XP can be unpopular, but it must never be shady!
Surely no one actually thinks the Mother Tree of Desire is something to be trifled with?

Uchiha Muneki suddenly fell silent. According to those netizens from his previous life, it seemed that it really wasn't certain.

No, how could he be thinking about these things right now? He shook his head, banishing the jumbled thoughts from his mind.

"Uchiha Sogetsu, come and have a child with us."

"Come and have a baby."

"Come and have a baby."

"Come and have a baby."

The sounds rose and fell, echoing across the vast square.

The Otsutsuki clan members, their heads connected by crimson vines, approached him step by step, and the crimson vines scattered throughout the town seemed to be gathering towards him as well. "I told you no, why don't you understand?"

Uchiha Munetsuki sighed softly, looking at the horde of Otsutsuki clan members who had gathered there. His pale golden eyes seemed to blaze with intense light: "Let me give you a piece of advice: never accept 'gifts' of unknown origin, because you don't know their value."

How could he possibly give away the 'puppet' he painstakingly crafted so easily?
Especially for a demigod in the audience sequence, if they are sent out, it means there must be a trap.

He planted a seed of spiritual plague deep within the island of Otsutsuki Isshiki's mind.

At this moment, with Otsutsuki Isshiki entwined by blood-red vines, it was the perfect opportunity to connect with everyone spiritually.

"A spiritual plague!"

He raised his hand and clenched it, completely detonating the 'seed'.

The moment the 'seed' bursts forth, the highly contagious mental illness quickly infects everyone linked by the blood-red vines, and mad and twisted thoughts grow and spread rapidly like weeds.

A silent shriek erupted in everyone's mind.

The shrill and frenzied howls and roars, like the spread of some kind of deadly poison, caused those controlled by the blood-red vines to tremble like they were having an epileptic seizure, with blood constantly seeping from their eyes, mouths, and noses.

After that, they fell down in swathes, like wheat being harvested.

"Come out, don't hide inside."

Uchiha Munetsuki shifted his gaze to the Gedo Mazo and said calmly.

Through that brief moment of mental control, he could sense that the true 'contamination' was hidden inside the demonic statue of the heretic.

"Roar--!!!"

At this moment, having lost all its 'puppets', the demonic statue of the Outer Path, entangled by blood-red vines, suddenly let out a furious roar.

A deafening roar, as loud as thunder, instantly created layers of air waves.

Then, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, seemed to come alive. Driven by the blood-red vines, it opened its arms and used its enormous fist to smash directly at Uchiha Muneki.

"Didn't I tell you to get out here?"

Uchiha Muneki's eyes narrowed slightly, then he snapped his fingers: "Since you won't come out, then I'll force you to."

Snapped!
A crisp snap of fingers.

The demonic golem's fist suddenly stopped in front of him, then withdrew after a moment, clutching its head and letting out a painful howl.

How does it feel to be contaminated?

Uchiha Munetsuki looked at the Gedo Mazo, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "This is a voice specially prepared for you, from the 'True Creator'."

It turns out that he had not only planted the seeds of a spiritual plague deep within Otsutsuki Isshiki's mind.

As a side note, another gift was left behind: the voice of the 'True Creator,' and it was an original high-definition disc.

"Haven't you heard this saying?" Uchiha Munetsuki chuckled and said, "Every gift from fate has a price already secretly marked on it. Do you like this gift?"

Of all the extraordinary items he drew from the 'system', his favorite was undoubtedly the 'tainted rune'.

Unfortunately, his luck was just too bad. He drew so many items, but only one of them was related to the 'True Creator'. Sometimes he really wanted to tell the system, "Please give me more!"

"Roar!!!"

The demonic statue roared, but its body was constantly collapsing.

Like the tough outer shell of a tree cracking, peeling off like old rust, revealing the already 'hollowed-out' interior.

As he gazed at the 'hollowed out' Gedo Mazo, Uchiha Munezuki's pupils suddenly contracted, and then his spirituality seemed to go berserk. Dark blood vessels bulged from his entire body, followed by grayish-white scales appearing uncontrollably, and his body even showed a tendency to transform into a 'mythical creature'.

"This is... a divine abomination?!"

His pale golden eyes trembled, a sense of horror washing over him, his subconscious mind churning.

The moment he recognized him, the system task notification sounded.
