Chapter 189.1: Gaining Obito’s Acknowledgnt, Tsunade’s Wrath
Reminiscing about the deceased Uchiha Mina, Uchiha Tonan and Uchiha Obito had arrived in the cetery outside the clan’s district. The forr narrowed his eyes slightly and found Mina’s grave. He placed the wood carving and the bouquet of roses in front of the tombstone and knelt, “Mina, I’ve co to see you again.”
Obito stood behind Tonan and looked at the overgrown grass on the tomb, “It seems this grave hasn’t been cleaned for a long ti.”
Having said that, he prepared to walk forward to pull out the grass. But Tonan quickly stopped him, “Don’t do it. Mina liked to wear flowers and plants on her head the most when she was alive.”
Obito was stunned for a mont but nodded, “Is that the case? I thought it was neglected for a long ti.”
Tonan was spouting nonsense but managed to handle the flaw and looked at the tombstone with a sad face. He said in a low voice, “Mina, don’t worry about . I’m having a great ti. I don’t have many friends but the ones I’ve are all very dear. He’s also from the Uchiha clan and he’s kind-hearted just like you.”
He beckoned to Obito, “Obito, co and say hello to Mina.” Obito walked over to Tonan’s side and hesitated for a mont. He also knelt and awkwardly said, “Uh… hello, Mina.”
Tonan seed a little excited and he moved forward on his knees. “Did you hear that? He’s Obito… you haven’t forgotten him, right? He’s our classmate. Like , he used to be at the bottom of the class. He has great potential and is also a kind person. He’s a worthy partner.”
Obito hadn’t expected that he was already a ‘dear friend’ in Tonan’s heart. He couldn’t help but look at him, “Tonan…”
Imdiately afterward, he looked at Mina’s grave with a serious look and solemnly said, “Mina, you can rest assured. I’ll take good care of Tonan. And we’ll always be good partners.”
‘Ding! Gained Uchiha Obito’s acknowledgnt.’
“Sure enough… It was so easy after eliminating the hostility. This is really… wasting my intelligence!” Tonan couldn’t help himself from smiling subtly and then stood up and patted off the dust on his pants. “Alright, we won’t disturb your rest.”
Obito froze for a mont and asked, “Aren’t you going to spend more ti with Mina?” Is the visit already over? Isn’t it too quick?
However, for Tonan, once Obito’s acknowledgnt was in, the rest did not matter. The current Obito was nothing but a powerless genin. He was not worthy of Tonan’s efforts. The Kamui ability was good but it was a bit troubleso to kill. So, a final step was still required.
Tonan smiled lightly and said in an inexplicable tone, “Yin and Yang are separated, it’s not good to disturb her for too long… Obito, do you want to beco stronger?”
Obito nodded, “I want to.”
Tonan looked around and secretly used Wind Communication to confirm there was no one else around. He then said in a bewitching tone, “I have a secret technique that can open up the human body’s conception vein and stimulate one’s potential. But the process is very painful.”
Obito’s eyes narrowed, “As long as I can beco stronger, I can endure no matter how painful it is.”
Tonan smiled and bent down to pat Obito’s shoulder, “I’ll open up the conception vein for you so you can tap on the great potential in your body.”
As the charade was nearing its end, Tonan’s face turned cold. He made hand signs and placed his palm on Obito’s head. This ti, Tonan used more origin energy in the curse seal. As long as Obito didn’t reach the level of Six Paths, his life and death were just a matter of thought for Tonan.
Obito felt like his skull was opened by sothing and a cold qi rushed into his mind. Even though he had already prepared himself, he realized he had underestimated the pain. “It hurts so much…” The gloomy qi continually moved around in his mind like a snake. It felt like it was gnawing his brain.
Pain, pain, pain, heart-rendering pain. The pain was unbearable… death was better than life. Obito was hovering between life and death. “Ah….” His scream could be heard throughout the cetery.
Tonan had experinted many tis with the Cultivation Cursed Seal. He knew that this seal was not fatal. He was not worried about Obito’s safety. He considerately gave him enough room to roll over and walked over to Mina’s tombstone. He reached out and stroked the tombstone, saying in a low voice, “Mina, thank you.”
Tonan suddenly thought of the Shuten-doji ocular technique in his left eye and looked at the surrounding graves. Thinking of trying it, he turned his back to Obito and activated the kaleidoscope.
He closed his eyes and a second later, his left eye abruptly opened, the Mangekyo spinning rapidly in it creating a suction force. Gradually, in his vision, a white soul was pulled up at the edge of the cetery and floated towards him.
As the soul got closer to him, the floating speed beca faster and it was sucked into his left eye’s space. Tonan felt a strange comfort rising from his heart, intoxicating his senses. But there was just one new soul nearby. He looked around and sighed, deactivating his Mangekyo. Such instinctual pleasure was addictive.
In the Shuten Space, the soul of the Uchiha clan mber that was absorbed right now looked at its surroundings with a baffled look. The sky was blood-red and the earth was full of lava. Everywhere was desolate and dead.
“Did I do too many bad things? There truly is hell after death,” the Uchiha clan mber muttered and wandered. However, just after taking a few steps, he accidentally stepped on the lava that sprayed out from the ground and his feet were burned, emitting blue smoke. That blue smoke gradually floated in the blood-red sky above.
The Uchiha clan mber took a few steps back in surprise and his figure dimd a bit. As a soul, he shouldn’t feel pain but he could feel himself being swallowed by sothing. He raised his head and looked around seriously. A feeling of despair filled the bottom of his heart.
At first, he hadn’t paid much attention to the surroundings, but now that he did, he saw there were interconnected lava streams everywhere on the ground. Terrifying dark clouds with lightning flashes moved slowly in the sky and lava rain poured in torrents.
Back in the real world, half an hour later, the sun had completely set and the cold crescent moon had risen. Obito was sweating profusely, lying on the ground, and his eyes were slightly unfocused.
In his line of sight, a human-shaped black figure appeared, covering up the moon. Obito’s eyes narrowed and so expressions returned on his lifeless face. He weakly asked, “Tonan… did… did I succeed?”
Tonan casually replied, “Yes, you succeeded, your potential will awaken within a certain ti. At that ti, it’ll be very easy to use ninjutsu.”
“Thank… thank you…” After speaking, Obiito closed his eyes and fell asleep. Tonan quietly looked at Obito’s face and a strange smile appeared on his face, “No need to thank .”
Having said that, he picked up the unconscious Obito and walked toward the Uchiha district. He had spent too much life origin to implant this cursed seal. He would need so ti to recuperate.
The primordial energy could grow with strength. This was also why the average lifespan of the Ninja World was so low but many ninjas with exceptional strength could live for a long ti.
Naturally, Tonan didn’t quite understand the specific details about lifespan. It seed that it was related to the soul’s origin. But given the fact that a person had a soul even after death ant that when a person’s lifespan ends, the soul’s source wouldn’t be used up.
In this context, Tonan boldly guessed that perhaps when everyone’s primordial souls were consud to a certain extent, a chanism would be triggered to force people to die of old age. As for the specifics, he would take ti to explore them.
A month later, Konoha finally welcod the New Year. Tonan stuck Spring Festival couplets at the welfare institution gate. Red lanterns were hung on the corridors as well as on the plants in the welfare institution. This style was unique to Konoha.
To celebrate this special day, Tonan specially set up several tables in the open space of the institution. He cooked several tables full of dishes himself and invited people not only from the institution but also Namikaze Minato and his group to celebrate the New Year together.
He also thought about it a lot and went to invite Sarutobi Hiruzen as well.
