The Uchiha's Path to the Top, Starting from Konoha

Chapter 220 Situation

Konoha, a sealing site for the Uzumaki clan in a certain location.

The rooms were filled with all sorts of sealing tools.

The Amber Bottle, one of the Six Paths Treasures that once sealed the [Destruction Dragon King], is also stored inside.

Uchiha Muan entered a room where, in the center, there was a high platform covered by layers of sealing runes.

The sealing runes were not simply pasted on the building's surface, but rather formed a constantly rotating circular seal, trapping the listless and lifeless Black Zetsu on the high platform inside.

In recent years, the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan have also developed rapidly. Ninjutsu that seals space has become commonplace, and many of them have been displayed in the Military Intelligence Department's Merit Hall to earn merit points.

"Master Ninja, I'm truly innocent!"

Black Zetsu, who had been imprisoned silently for four years, immediately perked up when he saw Uchiha Muan walking slowly towards him, and a very vivid fawning expression appeared on his pitch-black face.

But in his heart, he wished he could tear Uchiha Takeo's handsome face to shreds.

"Injustice?"

"An ordinary monster is not qualified to be sealed here."

With a smile playing on his lips, Uchiha Wu'an gazed at Black Zetsu across the sealed space and said slowly, "It seems that these years of imprisonment haven't made you realize the situation."

"But that doesn't matter anymore."

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu's heart sank. Before he could react, a hand pierced through the seal and grabbed him tightly.

The world seemed to change instantly, and Black Zetsu saw a beautiful woman dressed in a luxurious and elegant cheongsam embroidered with golden dragons, staring at him with her scarlet and magnificent Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Kotoamatsukami!"

Originating from the Rinnegan, the Mangekyou Sharingan is a power of extremely high rank, possessing a strength no less than that of the Six Paths in some respects, causing Black Zetsu, a product of the Six Paths, to fall into a daze.

Then a magnificent and majestic golden dragon soared into the sky and rushed into Black Zetsu's body. All resistance melted away in that instant, turning him into a loyal servant of the Uchiha clan.

Although Black Zetsu is a product of Kaguya Otsutsuki's will and flesh, it is still an independent life form. Under the combined effect of the Mangekyou Sharingan and the world-class item "Alluring Beauty," it is only natural that it could be controlled.

As for the life-consuming side effect of [Alluring Beauty], it has been erased by Uchiha Wu'an using his magic. In contrast, the conditions for its use have become more stringent, and the time required for each use has been greatly extended.

It's no longer possible to control the flying squirrel with [Alluring Beauty] in the short term.

Uchiha Muan wanted to force Momonga to surrender in a grand and righteous manner.

"An-kun, is this the legendary third son of the Goddess of the Rabbit?"

Uchiha Takeo tenderly wiped away the bloodstains that had slipped from the corner of Uchiha Shigeaki's eye. This was not Shigeaki's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan yet; using a powerful weapon like Kotoamatsukami would consume an extreme amount of ocular power.

If it weren't for Madara Uchiha's Eternal Eye and Hikaru Uchiha's Eight Thousand Spears as backup, Takeo Uchiha would absolutely not have wanted the Uchiha clan leader to use Kotoamatsukami.

That's not wrong.

Uchiha Wu'an held his pregnant wife in his arms, his gaze fixed on Black Zetsu, as they listened together as Black Zetsu recounted his millennia-long scheme.

Every secret and scandal that happened surprised or disgusted the Uchiha leader. The grudges between the Uchiha and the Senju clan were basically caused by Black Zetsu.

Love and hate are the spiral of interaction between the two groups, constantly cycling back and forth.

"He sealed his own mother away for a thousand years..."

Uchiha Rinpoche touched her swollen belly. She could already feel the life force of the little one inside her. That miracle of life coming from nothing made the young mother feel intoxicated.

Upon hearing that a child had imprisoned his own mother, a trace of sorrow appeared on her delicate face.

"If I don't raise my children well, will they overthrow their father's rule?"

Just as complicated thoughts began to surface, Uchiha Rinpoche saw her husband's handsome face, which looked more mature than before, and his jelly-like lips were also taken over by him.

"Don't overthink it. If our future children are disobedient, it's probably because we haven't disciplined them enough."

"An Jun, how can you punish a child physically? You need to teach them with care."

"Jade must be carved to become a useful object, and people must be disciplined to learn manners. I am quite confident in my ability to educate children."

"You're just spouting nonsense."

Finally, with her cheeks flushed, Uchiha Guri escaped from Uchiha Muan's embrace. After tidying her clothes slightly, she left the room and found Minamoto Kaori, ready to share information about Black Zetsu.

Uchiha Takeoshi, who was left alone, waved his hand and told Black Zetsu to act on his own.

His purpose in controlling Black Zetsu this time is twofold.

One reason is to learn about secrets that don't exist in the anime, so as to avoid any unknown powerful figures suddenly appearing.

Another reason was to leave a backup plan for Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Uchiha Muan vividly remembers the scene in the original story where the arrogant Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Madara Uchiha, was attacked by Black Zetsu – it was such a waste of his domineering aura when he first appeared.

If Kaguya Otsutsuki were to launch an attack against him for some reason, Black Zetsu could act as a hidden hand and ambush Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"I just don't know how strong Kaguya Otsutsuki really is."

Shortly after landing on the moon, Uchiha Takehiko used the "Heavenly Emperor" technique to search for Kaguya Otsutsuki's whereabouts on a large scale, but Hagoromo and Hamura Otsutsuki had hidden Kaguya very well.

This led Uchiha Takeo to believe that Kaguya Otsutsuki was not sealed on the moon.

However, a recent unusual spatial fluctuation within the lunar region, along with a spatial signal of a specific frequency continuously propagating outward from a certain location, made Uchiha Takeo fully aware of the situation, and the Otsutsuki brothers have made new moves.

"The chances of these two brothers having a direct confrontation with me are extremely low. They're more likely to find a vanguard to distract me."

"The Dragon Emperor and the Flying Squirrel of the Magic Continent".

"Princess Kaguya of the Ninja World Continent, and perhaps that toad who plays both sides, and even the Slug Sage's stance are hard to ascertain."

"Finally, there is the ninja world of another dimension."

Uchiha Wu'an looked out the window. The mountains and forests were lush, clear springs flowed, and the shadows of the trees swayed. Several beautiful women were enjoying the cool breeze by a clear pool.

With his sharp eyesight, he could see the joy on their faces, and a sense of responsibility filled Uchiha Takeo's heart. He couldn't help but chuckle.

"They're all just showing off their limited skills before an expert, peddlers who're just trying to sell their skills. Kill them one by one, kill two by two!"

"Fight to the bitter end, and all under heaven will submit; our might will shake the world!"

"From now on, both the earth and the heavens will be my battlefields!"
