From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 433 Aurora Gathering, Dark Angels, Make Their Appearance!

While Erii was taking the Chunin Exams, Uchiha Munezuki suddenly had a thought.

The spiritual sky trembled, and a faint sound pierced through the thick fog, resounding in His mind.

"The Creator of all things;"
The ruler behind the veil of shadows;

The fallen nature of all living beings.

I beg for your attention.

At the same time, a distorted yet gradually clearing image appeared before His eyes.

It was in a desolate ruin.

Several people dressed in black, resembling devout believers, were praying loudly to a strange and terrifying one-eyed giant hanging upside down on a cross.

"Isn't it the Aurora Tour?"

Uchiha Muneki suddenly realized why he had been feeling lately as if he had missed something.

It turns out I almost forgot about the 'Aurora Festival'.

Actually, it can't be entirely blamed on Him; the main problem was that He left in such a hurry.

The only option was to leave the affairs of the Aurora Society entirely to the Hokage, Adam. However, a "divine prodigy" suddenly appeared, causing Obito Uchiha to completely lose control. In the end, to be on the safe side, Adam, in the name of the three great saints of the Aurora Society, ordered the Aurora Society to fall into complete silence.

"Fine, let's go take a look."

After pondering for a moment, Uchiha Muneki decided that since he had nothing else to do, he might as well go and check on the situation at the 'Aurora Gathering'.

So He controlled His spirituality and responded to the Aurora Society's 'believers'.

After severing his connection with the spirit world, he left behind a wisp of his consciousness and then quietly disappeared from the spot.

As for the puppet that White Zetsu used to monitor Him, it was naturally impossible for it to discover that an 'angel' was still faithfully fulfilling its duty, keeping a close eye on 'Uesugi Tsuki'.

In the land of rivers, in an unnamed village.

As is customary in previous years, after the congregation has gathered, prayers are offered to the 'True Creator'.

However, as always, the statue did not react.

After the prayer session ended, the believers seemed to have expected the outcome; their faces were lifeless, and they stood blankly in the square.

Looking at the few dozen believers in front of him, Mr. A, who was presiding over the prayer ceremony, couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the scene when there were tens of thousands of believers and crowds of people. He felt a strange sense of rage and his eyes were filled with a violent look: "I heard that someone else has left."

The believers below were expressionless, as if they were simply completing a task.

Until a terrifying figure appeared and threw several hideous heads in front of them, the numb believers finally reacted and showed expressions of horror.

The heads that rolled off the stage were all twisted and grotesque, their lifeless pupils revealing expressions of madness and agony.

Clearly, these people suffered unimaginable torment during their lives.

"Well done, Holy Son."

Mr. A gazed at the figure, nodded slightly, then turned to the trembling, terrified believers below, and said coldly, "You all remember this: if loyalty is not absolute, then it is absolutely disloyal. If I find anyone daring to defect again, their death will not be any easier than theirs!"

The numb believers looked at the person standing next to the archbishop on the platform.

Many people have heard of Itachi Uchiha, who single-handedly annihilated the Uchiha clan when he was less than ten years old!
"Gentlemen, did you hear what the bishop said?"

The handsome young man, with fair skin, delicate features, and a somewhat sickly appearance, wore a gentle smile.

"I heard you!"

The believers were struck dumb, and responded with a series of fearful reactions.

"Actually, I wouldn't mind killing you all."

Itachi Uchiha still wore that gentle smile, but the words he spoke made the believers feel as if a cold wind was blowing, a chill that penetrated to the bone.

“But unfortunately, the bishop believes that your existence is valuable.” He tilted his head slightly, his eyes narrowed as if scrutinizing the believers, a hint of bloodlust flashing in his gaze: “Therefore, you must strive to prove yourselves valuable, otherwise, I wouldn’t mind eating more flesh and blood.”

"Your Holiness, we will never betray you!"

The believers knelt down and begged for mercy, kowtowing frantically, afraid that if they were a step too slow, they would be eaten by that 'madman'.

That's right, it's truly 'eaten', leaving not even a bone or scrap!
"Very good, very good, very good."

Uchiha Itachi nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the person beside him and asked, "How was the ceremony?"

"no respond."

Mr. A's face darkened, and he shook his head.

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall receiving orders from the three great saints more than a decade ago, ordering the Aurora Society to be completely 'silent'.

Since then, neither the 'prayer rituals' nor the invocation of the three saints have received any response.

It's as if it completely disappeared!
But he firmly believed that all of this was a test given to them by 'the Lord'.

If you can't even endure this little bit of 'suffering', what kind of 'faith' are you talking about?
But soon, after the three great saints completely disappeared, the Aurora Society, which lacked high-level power, inexplicably ran into Uchiha Obito.

At that time, Obito Uchiha had already advanced to 'Sequence Four', displaying the power of a 'demigod', and directly destroyed the Aurora Society headquarters with a crushing result.

Relying on his immortality, he managed to hold off his opponent, but he also suffered severe injuries, and his extraordinary abilities nearly went out of control.

Ultimately, the Aurora Society, which occupied the entire country of the River, was completely defeated and scattered.

Fortunately, he eventually escaped and gathered his remaining forces. However, fate was unkind, and when things were at their weakest, the people of Konoha came knocking on his door!

That's right, it's the First Hokage, the Second Hokage who kept tracking down the Aurora Society, and the Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze, whom Mr. A wished he could tear apart and rip out!
Although he was no match for the First Hokage, he was able to hold off both Hokage by relying on his immortality.

The key lies with Minato Namikaze. The opponent's goal is very clear: to eradicate the Aurora Society from its root and use the characteristics of the Flying Thunder God Technique to directly kill the Aurora Society's followers.

On one occasion, even the Holy Son Uchiha Itachi was nearly defeated by Namikaze Minato.

With the strange and tacit cooperation of Konoha, Obito Uchiha, and the Twilight Hermits, the Aurora Society was instantly and severely damaged, falling from its former glory and becoming a powerful organization. It disappeared without a trace and ekes out a living in a hidden village.

Mr. A took a deep breath, suppressing his volatile temper, and turned to look at Uchiha Itachi.

Fortunately, before their disappearance, the three saints had anticipated the Aurora Society's fate and had left behind the trump card of the 'Holy Son'. He asked with concern, "Holy Son, how are your preparations for your ascension ceremony going?"

As long as the Holy Son can advance to Sequence Four, with the status of a demigod, and with the help of the bizarre 'Hanged Man' path, leading the Aurora Society to regain its glory will be a piece of cake!
"Just a little bit more. Just a little bit more!"

Uchiha Itachi shook his head, his eyes filled with confusion: "I can feel that the Master is both very close and very far from us. That opportunity is coming soon."

"That's good. I will do everything in my power to help you get promoted!"

Mr. A grinned, his expression twisted with malice, exuding an indescribable terror: "When you advance to Sequence Four, that will be the time when the Aurora Society regains its former glory."

Suddenly, a cold wind blew across the ruins.

All believers swept by the evil wind felt the whispers of depravity and distortion mixed in with their souls.

The once clear blue sky was now shrouded in a thick shadow, like a dark curtain!

Such an anomaly naturally alerted Mr. A and Itachi Uchiha. The two instantly 'released' their souls, and the thick shadows around them suddenly shrank inward, as if they had gained physical form.

The next moment, Mr. A and Itachi Uchiha suddenly felt a chill down their spines, as if a gaze was watching them.

"Who?!"

Mr. A felt a chill run down his spine and immediately turned around.

At that moment, the two suddenly noticed that a figure had appeared in front of the statue of the 'True Creator'.

The figure seemed shrouded in a thick curtain of shadow, exuding an extremely ominous aura.

Within a radius of several meters around it, everything—air, earth, and light—was completely swallowed by a curtain of shadow, devoid of any life, only darkness and death.

"Who are you!"

Mr. A was extremely vigilant, gathering shadows nearby and secretly tending to a soul.

Uchiha Itachi, standing nearby, did the same, quietly tending to several souls.

But, right now.

As the shadow faded, Mr. A and Itachi Uchiha were able to see the man's true appearance.

She was around thirty years old, with slightly wavy black hair that fell to her shoulders and pale skin. She seemed frail, yet she possessed a noble air that made people afraid to look directly at her.

He wore a black robe wrapped in silver threads, inscribed with complex and mysterious symbols, and adorned with ornate accessories. He held a jet-black scepter, and behind him hung layers upon layers of illusory, jet-black wings that covered most of his body.

"The Eye of Corruption!"

Mr. A took a sip, and the flesh on his forehead split open, revealing an 'eyeball' growing out.

This is a unique power of the Hanged Man pathway, which allows one to control flesh and blood, grow a 'physical eye' for observing spirituality, and even corrupt and degrade the will of enemies.

However, a sudden change occurred!

When Mr. A saw the person's face clearly, his whole body suddenly stiffened.

Those were eyes with no whites, as if covered by a dark shadow, like a cold abyss, with unfathomable malice and depravity, crashing down like a tsunami.

hum!
Mr. A's spirituality trembled violently, sending out a severe warning!
will die!

will die!

will die!

At this moment, the spirit was wailing madly, and Mr. A's body showed signs of cracking.

The torn flesh grew granulation tissue, eyeballs, and other growths wildly, a terrifying mutation. He then let out a shrill scream, and his entire body crumbled like mud.

This scene truly terrified Itachi Uchiha, who was standing nearby.

He had originally intended to use his 'spiritual vision' to investigate the suddenly appearing 'figure,' but after witnessing Mr. A's fate, he immediately abandoned the idea.

Soon, Mr. A, who had been shattered into a pool of flesh and blood, returned to his original state.

This time, however, he dared not 'peep' again. He had only glanced at it once, yet he already sensed a strong aura of death.

His spiritual intuition told him that if he dared to spy any further, he would encounter unimaginable terror!
"You did a good job."

The man glanced at Mr. A, whose face was filled with fear, and said calmly, "For the sake of your service, I will forgive your recklessness this time."

"Who are you?"

Mr. A's pupils contracted slightly, as if he had guessed something, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

“Sassriel”.

Sasriel glanced at it and said indifferently.

The name instantly triggered Mr. A's memory, and the fear on his face quickly turned into ecstasy.

The Aurora Society's scriptures record that in the distant Dark Ages, under the throne of the true Creator who created everything, there were six angel kings who served. However, five of these angels betrayed the great Lord, while only one angel remained steadfast, serving the great Lord and walking the earth.

Mr. A was filled with fear and trepidation. He knelt down on the ground, his forehead pressed against the earth, and shouted fervently, "A miracle! A miracle!"

Uchiha Itachi was somewhat bewildered. He had never heard of the name 'Sasriel' before, but judging from Mr. A's reaction beside him, he realized that the person in front of him seemed to be of a very high status.

"The Left Hand of God, the Lord's Agent, the Viceroy of the Kingdom of Heaven!"

Mr. A's face was filled with fanaticism as he shouted the angel's name: "Lord Dark Angel Sasriel!"

It turns out they were not abandoned by the Lord; indeed, all of this was a test sent down by the Lord!

Otherwise, why would they send angels to attend to them and respond to prayers?

At this moment, Mr. A became even more devout and felt an unprecedented happiness; he was being loved by the Lord!
The Lord has not forgotten them!

“I come in the name of the Lord.”

Sasriel's eyes were as dark as shadows as he said calmly, "You shall go to Konoha immediately. At the appropriate time, the Lord will issue a divine decree."
