Chapter 40 It doesn't matter, I'll take action.
Like Jiraiya, Tsunade came with a glimmer of hope. Why hadn't Uchiha Tsukuyomi reacted at all after so long? If he truly hated Konoha, he should have rushed over and destroyed it by now.
"Perhaps, Uchiha Tsuki still harbors a great Will of Fire within him, and he still loves Konoha! It's just that his power is currently out of control. If only I could get close to Uchiha Tsuki and make him remember that great Will of Fire hidden within his heart..."
"Maybe Uchiha Tsukuyomi will retract his current power and willingly accept their judgment!"
As a member of the village, harming one's fellow villagers is an unforgivable act, and Uchiha Tsuki must pay the price for his actions!
What? You mean Shimura Danzo? You mean Orochimaru? Are those the same thing? No, they're not! Danzo did what he did for the village, while Orochimaru has already been expelled. They're not the same.
If only Uchiha Tsuki could understand his mistakes and commit suicide like Sakumo Hatake did.
Unfortunately, so far, no one knows what Uchiha Tsuki's current situation is, nor does anyone know what Uchiha Tsuki is thinking. Even Uchiha Tsuki's appearance is drawn based on some vague impressions.
As for what Uchiha Tsukuyomi actually looks like, that remains unknown.
Unfortunately, Tsunade's plan was shattered. As she continued to advance, the chakra and other biological energy within her body began to be consumed continuously. Her body grew colder and colder, and even her consciousness began to become blurred. At that moment, Tsunade realized how ridiculous and foolish her plan had been.
Unless she possesses an inexhaustible supply of chakra, enough to withstand the absorption of this domain and move freely within its desolate depths, she won't even be able to see Uchiha Tsuki.
"The creatures in here..."
Soon after, Tsunade squatted down wearily. The chakra she used to maintain the Yin Seal had disappeared. The beautiful Tsunade from a moment ago had now become a wrinkled, frail old woman. She felt her breathing becoming increasingly heavy, and her legs were too weak to walk any further.
At such a distance, if it weren't for the rope behind her, Tsunade would probably be buried in this desolate area today.
Tsunade tugged weakly at the rope. At that moment, she understood her own weakness. The rope behind her began to move, pulling her away.
During her escape, Tsunade carefully observed the plants along the way. These plants were completely dead, but because there were no bacteria or insects, and because it hadn't been long, they didn't seem to be dead, but rather frozen. As long as the ice melted next year, they would be able to revive.
However, Tsunade knew that all of this was just an illusion. There was no trace of life in this area. Plants, things, bacteria, no matter how small the creature, could not survive in such a desperate situation.
For life on this planet, the ice age was like heaven versus hell compared to this desolate realm. At least in the former, some creatures could barely survive, but in the latter…
"This is... hell!"
Tsunade's body was slowly dragged by the rope behind her towards the edge of this area. After learning that this desolate area had no other characteristics besides absorbing energy, all she needed to enter it and survive safely at this stage was a rope.
However, this is only the current stage.
The reason they can still survive safely using just a rope is simply because they still have places to hide. Once this desolate realm envelops the planet, then they will be doomed unless they escape from the planet beforehand.
Otherwise, by then, even if you wanted to escape this planet, you wouldn't be able to.
When Tsunade was dragged out with great effort by Shizune and the others, her chakra was almost completely depleted, and she was curled up in a ball, nearly unconscious. Even though she was prepared and had overestimated Uchiha Tsuki's power as much as possible, Tsunade still underestimated the terror of this desolate area.
Fortunately, her current state is merely due to excessive energy consumption, unlike Jiraiya, whose excessive energy consumption led to physical necrosis.
"Lady Tsunade!"
Shizune and the others quickly tried to help Tsunade. After confirming that Tsunade was still barely alive, they immediately carried her away from this desolate area.
Shortly after Tsunade and the others escaped, Jigen, under the control of Isshiki Otsutsuki, also arrived at the edge of this desolate area.
"Is this the power of that Uchiha Tsukuyomi? A mere native of the ninja world..."
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki looked at this desolate area, reached his hand into it, and after quietly sensing it for a moment, he withdrew his hand.
"Why is this happening... How is this possible..."
He took a step back, staring intently at the desolate area, as if trying to see through the frosted glass-like space to the core hidden deep within it.
"Kaguya, you bitch! You really gave me a surprise! Good, good! Very good!"
Otsutsuki Isshiki gritted his teeth and spoke each word with utmost rage, clearly reaching the limit of his anger.
"And Shimura Danzo! Very well, you bastard, I'll remember you!"
After reaching inside, Otsutsuki Isshiki discovered that even a powerful figure like him, a master of chakra domains, could not prevent the energy within his body from being devoured and absorbed by this desolate domain. It was an extremely terrifying way of absorbing energy.
At this moment, Otsutsuki Isshiki was completely certain that this Uchiha Tsuki, that damned, low-level native of the ninja world, had awakened the original power of the God Tree!
He stared at the ever-expanding, desolate territory, his face grim. The Uchiha Moon was indeed a natural disaster for the creatures of the ninja world. No, it wasn't just for the natives of the ninja world; even for him, it was a natural disaster.
Once Uchiha Tsuki's power grows to the point of covering the entire planet, even he will surely die, and all things will be in vain and perish.
"It seems I have to make a move. Uchiha Tsukuyomi's power hasn't yet reached the point of covering the entire planet, or even half of it. His power isn't strong enough. I still have a chance!"
Otsutsuki Isshiki took a deep breath, he...
