Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

Kakashi continued, following Rin's words:

"You taught me that a person who doesn't cherish their companions is worse than trash!"

"But what about you now? In order to escape this painful reality, you treat your companions in the real world like dirt, and you don't even cherish yourself!"

"You... are the real coward now, Obito!"

Wake up, future me!

Young Obito was held tightly by the legs by several ninjas. He roared and smashed his head against the enemies in front of him.

"No matter how bad reality is, we're here for you! Teacher Yue is here, and everyone is by your side!"

"You idiot, why do you want to hide in the darkness and bear all this alone? The world was built by everyone, and even if it's rotten to the core, it's our responsibility to change it together!!!"

The heart-wrenching cries pierced through the rain and the black tide, crashing heavily onto the masked Obito.

However, faced with the three boys' desperate roars...

Masked Obito still didn't utter a single word.

He was like an empty shell, devoid of his soul, a ghost that had lost the ability to speak, standing silently in the downpour.

why?

Why are these fake phantoms fighting so hard?

Was it not you... not this world, that forced me to integrate into the darkness of this old world?

As you wished, my innocence has been crushed, and I have accepted this despair...

I've turned into a monster, into trash that even I find disgusting!

So why are you trying to stop me now?

Chapter 248 Why Reject Dreams?

why?

Why do you all have to endure this? You're covered in blood, you're about to be torn apart by the black tide, you know reality is just a quagmire that brings only pain...

Yet they still desperately reached out to me, someone hiding in the abyss.

Why... come and pull me out of here, when I'm already rotten, stinking, and blended into the darkness?

Masked Obito watched as the trio gradually weakened in the black tide and were about to be swallowed up.

Beneath the tattered mask, he let out a soft sigh.

"That's...that's all."

The next second, Obito's only exposed Sharingan slowly lost focus.

He deliberately cut off all perception of the outside world.

Hearing, stripping away.

The piercing shouts disappeared.

Touch, peeling.

The cold rain is gone.

Visually, I was plunged into absolute, deathly darkness.

He was like a drowning person falling into the deep sea, completely abandoning his five senses, letting his soul sink endlessly into the abyss where there was not a ray of light...

During the long, seemingly endless descent, images slowly flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

What kind of person was I in the past?

In the darkness, a ray of warm sunlight seemed to shine through.

He was a silly boy who always wore goggles and had a smile on his face.

Just like that phantom he had always hated.

"Ah! I'm so sorry, I've lost my way on the path of life!"

That was his favorite excuse.

In fact, he would run through the streets of Konoha every morning, helping an old lady who was losing all her teeth cross the road, helping the aunt next door carry heavy goods, and even missing a crucial gathering just to help a complete stranger find his lost ninja cat from a tree.

That boy was really stupid. He got himself all dirty every day, was teased by passersby, and mocked by his friends, but he never cared.

At that time, he felt that as long as he could see everyone's smiles and help everyone in the village, that would be the happiest thing in the world.

His dream is to become Hokage and protect everyone.

How naive!

That fool had no idea that the world he loved so deeply was a hell that would skin the gentlest of people alive.

Later, as the crimson blood moon rose, he watched as Lin's heart was pierced by the Raikiri.

The helpful Obito Uchiha died completely in that cold cave.

Those who survived were only the masked ghosts, consumed by revenge and despair.

The scenes changed rapidly.

The night of the Nine-Tailed Fox has arrived.

"I had already made up my mind."

As he carried out his plan to destroy Konoha, Obito kept telling himself this.

But... is that really the case?

Before summoning the Nine-Tails, he stood atop the Hokage Rock high in Konoha, overlooking the village below, its lights twinkling in the night.

Looking down at the place he once risked his life to protect.

At that time, he also met Uchiha Tsuki.

Hey, I heard he also defected from Konoha. He must have lost all hope in this world.

Looking at this person who once saved me and gave me warmth...

He admitted that he did waver for a moment.

However, this wavering lasted only a fraction of a second before he extinguished it with his ruthless will.

In this false world, all protection is futile. Only by creating a new world can we find the true reality!

He hypnotized himself in this way, and then released the Nine-Tailed Fox, severing the bonds.

As time went on, his Eye of the Moon plan was repeatedly thwarted by Uchiha Tsukuyomi, until he decided to start this "limited Tsukuyomi" plan.

Those three guys, whom he regarded as subconscious phantoms, kept following him and kept clamoring for him to turn back.

Those phantoms... especially that boy with goggles, they really looked like me.

Even though their will had been so firm.

But these three people, like moths that you can't shake off, keep chasing you.

He kept running, and they kept chasing.

Throughout these long years, they had many opportunities to directly summon Uchiha Tsuki to kill him.

He believed that, given Uchiha Tsuki's terrifying demeanor, he must have been watching him, this clown, from above.

But they didn't; they foolishly tried to save themselves.

Didn't anyone tell them that this kind of persistence was incredibly foolish?

Later, he finally managed to gather all the necessary supplies for the experiment.

But then Uchiha Tsuki reappeared, and his strength was breathtaking.

Fortunately, he managed to reach the altar at the last moment.

Although the limited Tsukuyomi failed, Uchiha Tsukuyomi helped him complete this closed world.

Why? Why should we help him?

He didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

However, at that moment, various images of his encounter with Uchiha Tsukihime during his youth flashed through his mind.

What followed was everything that happened in this world.

What a perfect world! No betrayal, no war, just sleep. Why disturb his dreams?

Isn't it good to dream?

Let people all over the world dream, so that they can all wear smiles without any gloom.

it's good now.

The beautiful dream has shattered, and everyone can only be swallowed up by the endless darkness of the present world.

……

outside world.

Uchiha Tsukuyomi is in Yang Sage Mode, fighting against three Six Paths level phantoms and the endless black tide of Black Zetsu, Hashirama, Madara, and others in the sky.

"Moon, it seems they can't hold on much longer." Hikaru leaned against Moon, his gaze fixed on the trio about to collapse in the Black Tide in the distance, and said.

"I know. But it's about time."

Uchiha Yue formed a hand seal, and golden Yang Sage Chakra transformed into countless visible rays of light at his fingertips, piercing into the void.

During this constant defensive battle, Yue was not idle.

He has been using the Chakra Network to analyze this "Limited Tsukuyomi" world.

Obito was able to build this world all by himself;

Then Uchiha Tsuki, who controls the Spirit Network and connects the hopes of billions of people in the main world, can naturally do the same!

However, forcibly imposing a worldview on another person's sandbox is extremely difficult.

This took him a lot of time.
