From Hokage to Visionary

"It's just right. I can take this opportunity to give it a try."

Having said that, Uchiha Sogetsu no longer hesitated and found a secluded spot nearby.

Deep in the cave, he thought for a moment and decided to set up another layer of safety. His left eye instantly turned into a kaleidoscope.

Eye Technique: Eighty Days of Disaster!

The moment his pupil technique was activated, a pitch-black shadow suddenly appeared in the cave.

The shadow was invisible and intangible, dark and deep, yet it seemed to exist in reality. From the moment it appeared, it was shrouded in ominousness.

"Go watch the cave, and don't let anyone get close."

Uchiha Sogetsu warned.

The dark shadow nodded slightly, as if it had wisdom, and then disappeared like a ghost.

After the preparations were completed, Uchiha Sogetsu calmed down, thought for a few seconds, and then carved mysterious runes on the ground with his fingers.

"The essence of ritual magic is to pray for help from a higher being, but both the materials and the spells must have a clear direction." He paused for a moment, thought carefully, and said to himself: "But in the Naruto world, I don't know if I can use ritual magic to pray for help, and I don't know if the spell can play a role in 'positioning'."

He was going to try out 'ritual magic' in the Naruto world.

If he succeeds, it means that he will be able to do things more conveniently in the future and it will help him hide his identity.

"Well, maybe we can learn from the art of spiritualism?"

Uchiha Sogetsu suddenly thought that in a sense, summoning techniques and ritual magic seemed to have something in common.

That's much easier. Just modify the spiritualism, add ancient Hermetic text, and then use the three-part spell to locate the object of your prayer!

"There shouldn't be a real creator in the Naruto world, right?"

Uchiha Munetsuki paused for a moment, but soon felt relieved: "It's okay. Even if it's true, I won't be the one to suffer if I perform ritual magic. I can use this opportunity to test it out."

After a while, he 'created' a rather simple and crude ritual magic.

"Next, it's the internal test."

Using the 'contract' left in Mr. A's body, Uchiha Sogetsu can implant some information into his dreams regardless of distance.

Then, just wait quietly for the results.

After a busy day, Mr. A finally had a rare rest.

Due to the war, the number of refugees in the Kingdom of Tang increased dramatically, and he took this opportunity to recruit many people to join the religion.

Soon, the number of peripheral members of the Aurora Society increased a hundredfold.

He also planned to temporarily stop accepting refugees. After all, the strength of a religion cannot be achieved by numbers alone, it also requires high-level officials and elites!

Among those refugees, he found several good talents who were worth cultivating.

Mr. A, who was planning his future in his mind, gradually became drowsy. He slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

There was a whisper, as if whispering something softly in his ear.

"My Lord!!!"

Mr. A suddenly woke up from his dream with a look of joy on his face.

Just now, the great Creator had once again shown mercy to His believers, and this time, he clearly heard the Lord's instructions.

“A ritual that can establish communication with the Lord. Finally. Finally, finally!”

Mr. A's face was distorted, and he growled fanatically, "My Lord, you saw my efforts, so you decided to have mercy on me and send down an oracle to guide us?!"

Without waiting until dawn, he immediately turned over and got up from the bed.

The preparations were simple, requiring fresh flesh and blood, as well as mysterious text for the ritual, and a fixed 'spell'.

Mr. A knelt on the ground devoutly, cut open his chest and took out a hot, still beating heart. He believed that only in this way could he express his respect.

“The Lord who created all;

Lord behind the curtain of shadow;

The fallen nature of all living things.

I pray for your help.

I pray for your favor.

I pray that you will grant me your mercy and blessings.

I pray that you will grant me your mercy and blessings.

I pray that you will grant me your mercy and blessing."

Om-! ! !

An extremely violent noise, like a sharp iron tool scratching back and forth on a smooth surface.

The indescribable horrifying roar swept through like a hurricane, almost making people lose their minds. The stinging pain and the twisting of the soul, along with the surging black fog, swallowed up Mr. A.

I don’t know how much time passed, the whispers and murmurs faded away like the tide.

Mr. A, who regained consciousness, suddenly found himself in a dilapidated and collapsed temple.

At the deepest part of the temple, there is a Cyclops hanging upside down on a cross and tied with chains. Just looking at it is enough to drive people crazy and distort their minds!

But Mr. A, who was already crazy, seemed unaffected and knelt on the ground excitedly: "My Lord!!!"

The giant, hung upside down on the cross, stared at him with his single scarlet eye.

The next moment, the black fog surged in again and forced Mr. A out of the temple.

"My Lord!!!"

When Mr. A woke up again, he found himself still in the original room.

The only difference was that after the ritual magic, a crystal bottle filled with dark and sticky liquid was placed in front of him.

Information about the liquid in the crystal bottle emerged in Mr. A's mind.

"Potion. Sequence 9: Secret Prayer!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 161: It was you who lured the Cloud Ninja here?

As expected, Raikage Ai kept his promise and let Nohara Rin go.

Uchiha Obito managed to escape with his life by chance, and the reason was very ironic. It seemed that it was just as the Raikage said, that he would not take action against those who betrayed their companions.

This was the first time he felt so vividly how cruel war was!

The seniors who had just been educating him, as well as his familiar comrades-in-arms, turned into cold corpses in just a few minutes.

Looking at the unconscious Lin, Uchiha Obito knelt weakly on the ground, holding his head with his hands in pain, and curled up into a ball.

Tears seemed to be out of control, gushing out of his eyes like a wild beast, carrying with them endless pain and regret. Obito let out a series of low, hoarse, trembling and sharp growls, as if he wanted to vent all the emotions from the bottom of his heart.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

Obito kept apologizing and banged his head on the ground repeatedly, making a bang bang bang sound.

He had never been as painful as he was now, but the situation at that time did not allow him to think carefully. In a thousandth of a second, perhaps it was instinct or intuition that forced Obito to put Rin and Sotsuki on the scale at the same time, and his final choice was Rin.

There is no doubt that this move will push Uchiha Sogetsu into a huge fire pit.

The Raikage would definitely mobilize the entire village to kill Uchiha Sogetsu at all costs. He knew this very well, but he did it anyway.

"I'm sorry, Brother Zong Yue. I really can't help it. Lin, I must save her."

"You will definitely forgive me, right? Brother Zong Yue, you are so powerful. I'm sure nothing will happen!"

"That's right, you are so strong, the Raikage will definitely not be able to do anything to you!"

Obito could only keep begging, as if he was trying to defend himself and find a suitable reason.

Because only in this way can he feel better and not have his fragile nerves completely crushed by huge guilt and regret.

After constant self-comfort, Obito quickly cheered up and patted his cheeks vigorously: "Obito, Obito, cheer up. We must quickly tell Lord Fugaku the news here. Lin's injuries are very serious and we need a medical ninja!"

Although he was hit by a punch from the Raikage, fortunately the opponent did not intend to kill him. He only broke seven or eight ribs.

After quickly assessing the current situation, Obito knew that he could not stay here for long, so he endured the severe pain of broken ribs, walked over step by step, gritted his teeth and carried the unconscious girl on his back: "Lin, you will be fine, I will protect you, I swear!"

"Obito?"

Lin on his back woke up slowly, looking at the scenery around him that was constantly receding, his mind was in a mess.

Her memory still stuck on the second before the Raikage grabbed her throat and she fell unconscious. She had no recollection of what happened afterwards.

"That's great, Lin, you finally woke up!" Obito was delighted, it seemed that Lin should be fine.

But then, Lin's next words made his heart skip a beat.

"How did we escape?" Lin lay on the boy's back, and a scene vaguely flashed through her mind. It was the Raikage interrogating Obito, but she couldn't hear clearly at the time because she was suffocating, so she asked curiously: "Raikage, how did you let us go?"

"."

Obito opened his mouth weakly, but the words were swallowed back when they reached his lips.

Should he tell Lin that it was he who betrayed Uchiha Sogetsu, which resulted in the Raikage sparing their lives?

Although Rin seems weak and fragile on weekdays, she is actually very stubborn. If he tells her the truth, Obito can even imagine how disappointed the girl will be.

What he feared even more was that after learning the truth, Lin would stay away from him and dislike him from then on!

As a ninja, no matter what the circumstances, confidentiality is the first prohibition engraved in the ninja law. Once the confidentiality prohibition is violated, no matter for what purpose, it is equivalent to treason!

Obito was well aware of the consequences, so he was even less willing to tell the truth.

"We must be lucky. It seems like something happened to the Raikage, so he left suddenly." Obito made up a lame excuse.

"Oh"

Lin's head was groggy, and without giving it much thought, she laid on his back again.

Seeing that Lin did not continue to ask questions, Obito immediately felt relieved. He really didn't know how to continue to cover up the matter.

Obito quickened his pace and headed in the direction of the main force.

Late at night, the moon was dim and the stars were sparse, and the sky was filled with dark clouds.

Obito was running wildly through the woods when he was suddenly blocked by someone.

The sharp kunai was silently placed on his neck, and at the same time, a deep voice sounded in his ear: "Uchiha Obito, I remember that you should be with the reconnaissance team, responsible for gathering intelligence on the Cloud Ninja force at the front line. Why did you suddenly appear here?"

As if he had found a savior, Obito shouted, "Quick, I have important information to report to Lord Fugaku!"

The Anbu holding the kunai felt nervous, and then he noticed that the boy was covered in blood. He immediately realized something, and roughly grabbed his collar. With his other hand, he carried the unconscious Lin and rushed out in one step: "Hold on, I'll take you to see Lord Fugaku!"

He was the secret sentry responsible for the outermost warning and was not qualified to hear such intelligence, which had to be handled by the commander Fugaku.

The Anbu moved very quickly, and in less than five minutes, a large camp appeared before their eyes.

Several camps were brightly lit. The Anbu came to the most central camp, knelt outside the door and shouted directly: "Lord Fugaku, the reconnaissance team has sent urgent information from the front line!"

"Come in!"

Fugaku's calm voice was heard from within the camp.

After getting permission, the Anbu looked at Obito and motioned him to go in.

"Uncle, I'm leaving Lin in your care. Make sure to let the medical ninja check her out!"

Obito looked at Rin worriedly, but knowing the priorities, he walked straight into the camp.

There were seven or eight people standing in the tent, gathered around a sand table map, apparently discussing the next strategy. In addition to Uchiha Fugaku, there was also Danzo's most trusted right-hand man, Aburame Ryoma, the Root Jonin who was responsible for supporting the Uchiha, as well as a small number of Jonins drawn from several other families.

"Uchiha Obito, what happened on the front line?"

Uchiha Fugaku frowned slightly, looking intimidating without even getting angry, and his tone unconsciously carried a hint of urgency.

"Master Fugaku, the reconnaissance team has been wiped out!"

Obito wiped his tears and sobbed, "It was the Raikage. The Raikage suddenly appeared and attacked us. Lord Tetsuka and the others are all dead!"

"What did you say?!"

Fugaku's pupils suddenly shrank and he staggered and nearly fell, but fortunately he reacted quickly and held onto the table.

They lost several jonin and the young and strong forces of the Mesozoic Era at once. Even if the Uchiha family was powerful, they could not bear such a heavy blow. He held back a mouthful of blood and gritted his teeth and said, "Why did the Raikage appear on the battlefield? How did you meet him? Tell me everything!"
