From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 268 Where did Uchiha Muneki go?

Inside the magnificent Church of Bones, 'Adam' on the bronze bench slowly opened his eyes.

Deep within his pale golden pupils, a radiant light, as intense and flowing as molten lava, reflected the turbulent, ever-changing celestial phenomena and the thunderous lightning of his subconscious ocean.

"It...disappeared?"

Adam frowned slightly, a look of confusion on his face.

Just now, he suddenly discovered that the connection between himself and his 'original self' had been interfered with by some unknown factor, making it impossible for them to perceive each other at all.

This is a very abnormal situation. Unless an unforeseen danger occurs, the 'original body' would sever the mental connection with him, avoid that terrible danger, and follow the ocean of the subconscious to find the 'root' here directly.

Adam slowly tapped his index finger on the armrest, his pale gold brows furrowed, and a hint of worry flickered in his eyes.

According to his agreement with the 'original body', once the 'original body' is found to be out of contact, then he must prepare for the worst, that is, prepare to implement the reserved 'resurrection' plan.

With this in mind, 'Adam' looked through the ocean of his subconscious and gazed at the 'mysterious' moon hanging in the starry sky.

"It seems we can't explore any further for the time being."

Adam pondered for a moment, then decided to suspend Obito's promotion.

The 'contamination' on the moon has some deep connection with Obito. Since there is a problem on the 'main body' side, then 'Obito's' side needs to pause for a while. Otherwise, once he advances to 'demigod', he may very well come into contact with the 'Mother Tree of Desire'.

If Obito is allowed to grow unchecked, he will likely soon become a demigod, at which point it will be difficult for one of his clones to suppress him.

Meanwhile, the members of the Twilight Hermitage also needed to slightly 'suppress' their potion pathways.

Thoughts swirled in his mind, and 'Adam' couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. He rubbed his furrowed brow and grumbled, "My true self, you've really left me with a huge mess."

Although he possesses the rank of 'Sequence 4', he is largely just a 'virtual personality'. At best, he can only play tricks and make a fuss. But when it comes to actually doing something, he is rather inadequate.

“I need to cultivate a new ‘audience’.”

After careful consideration, 'Adam' decided to choose a 'substitute'.

Regardless of whether the process is reasonable or not, and even without considering the possibility of 'getting out of control,' he should quickly 'build up' a high-ranking demigod, at least a Sequence 4 demigod. Only in this way can he be confident in continuing to implement the next 'resurrection' plan. Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to succeed on his own.

And there is only one candidate, and that is 'White Zetsu'.

Given the characteristics of White Zetsu, he was initially 'hypnotized', and as Uchiha Muneki advanced to demigod status, a 'virtual personality' was implanted deep within his mind.

Therefore, he doesn't need to worry too much about the possibility of White Zetsu getting out of control in the future.

Moreover, even if Bai Jue develops disloyal intentions and intends to break free from control after advancing to demigod status, he is not without countermeasures.

Adam toyed with a yellowed piece of paper, a playful smile playing on his lips: "Did you foresee this happening, which is why you left this for me?"

This piece of paper, 'Lemanor's Travel Notes,' contains a record of an ability.

To obtain this ability, Uchiha Munetsuki went to great lengths, deliberately creating an 'experimental subject' using magical potions. And that experimental subject was, of course, erased.

After all, keeping it is far too 'dangerous'.

"It feels like something's missing."

Adam pondered for a moment, then realized what he was missing.

He seemed to have a rather wicked sense of humor, pulling a monocle from his pocket and putting it on his left eye. Don't ask why his left eye; the answer was fear.

Then, 'Adam' slowly stood up, casually placed the yellowed paper on the bronze table, and his white priest's robe was suddenly dyed into a black classical robe. A soft hat appeared in his hand, and he pinched the brim and put it on his head, a smile curving his lips: "From now on, I am 'Amon'."

Several lines of text were clearly imprinted on the yellowed paper.

Recorded: Parasite (Error Path - Sequence 4 - Parasite)
This is a type of 'stealing' ability, including parasitic theft at the physical level. It can deeply parasitize the target's body, listen to the 'host's' thoughts, understand the 'host's' intentions, and actively take over the body. Except for the mind, which still belongs to the 'host', everything else is beyond its control.

That is why 'Adam' was confident that he could control a 'demigod'.

After narrowly escaping from the 'divine abomination', Uchiha Muneki, wielding the 'Star Staff', expected to appear directly in Konoha.

However, the destination guided by the 'Star Wand' seems to be a tiny bit off.

After a brief moment of panic, Uchiha Muneki quickly calmed down and tried to observe or understand the 'space' he was in.

It was as if various dyes had been splashed on it. In the extremely irregular and chaotic space, indescribable shadows seemed to lurk everywhere, and the surging waves, mixed with the impact of negative emotions, seemed to be filled with countless evil whispers.

He clearly had a detailed picture of the target in his mind.

Moreover, he could be 100% certain that the scene he depicted was absolutely without any problems.

But why did the 'Star Staff' malfunction and 'take' him to such a place that cannot be described in words?

Is this the spirit world?

Spirituality and inspiration seemed to be telling him that this place belonged to the 'spirit world', but intuition told him that this was not the spirit world.

Two completely contradictory thoughts filled Uchiha Muneki's mind. Here, he could see neither 'stars,' nor 'moon' nor 'sun,' and he couldn't tell which way to go at all.

Left with no other choice, Uchiha Munetsuki flapped his wings and, taking advantage of the last bit of 'time,' used his mythical creature form to roam the unknown space.

Soon, Uchiha Muneki, in his mythical creature form, felt his spirituality and mind spiraling out of control.

This meant he didn't have much time left and had to find a way out as soon as possible. So he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and gripped the '062-Star Staff' again, redrawing its outline in his mind.

However, at that moment, a system notification inexplicably interrupted his thoughts.

"Fuck!"

The scene in his mind was interrupted, and Uchiha Muneki's eyes widened instantly, only managing to utter an angry curse.

In an instant, his body faded and disappeared from the spot.

Thick, leaden clouds hung over the city sky.

Dazzling lightning flashed and pierced through the clouds, while torrential rain poured down like a raging river onto the asphalt road.

In the extremely low visibility environment, a black sedan suddenly appeared. It was like a ferocious mechanical monster, roaring with the sound of its engine, speeding through the heavy rain and gale. The rain hit the car body and was pulled into a thin mist.

The black sedan was going very fast, reaching speeds of 275 kilometers per hour, but the dark asphalt road seemed to stretch on endlessly.

Despite the tachometer needle burning red, the man driving the black sedan seemed completely unfazed, pressing the accelerator to the floor and staring intently ahead, as if trying to find a 'way out' through the suffocating darkness.
