Chapter 234: Chapter 233 : Observation Diary!!
Observation Diary, March 17th
Subject: Uchiha Obito
Mental State: Stable (Probably?)
Current Situation of the Subject: Chained Pathway, Sequence 7 – Werewolf. The subject chose to advance without fully digesting the Sequence 8 potion (This guy is crazy, just like I thought).
Behavior Record 1: The subject is hearing voices and has an obsessive attachment to an individual named "Rin," frequently talking to himself (Seems related to the moon, but I don't understand it).
Behavior Record 2: The subject attempted to engage in some sort of "breeding" activity with the individual "Rin" (Tch… this guy is even worse than me).
Behavior Record 3: The subject tried to perform some sort of ritual, but it was interrupted midway, resulting in failure (Who knows where this guy learned this from).
Behavior Record 4: At specific full moon moments, the subject goes into a state of uncontrollable rage, destroying everything around him and repeatedly shouting one word in anger (I can't understand it, but it sounds like four words. It's really scary!).
Behavior Record 5: Repeated breeding behavior…
Behavior Record 6: More breeding…
Behavior Record 7: This guy is more messed up than I am.
Behavior Record 8: Hiss… Am I hallucinating? There seems to be a flower growing on the corpse of "Rin"…
Behavior Record 9: The corpse of "Rin" seems to be undergoing some unknown transformation. Further observation required.
Conclusion: No abnormalities have been found so far. The observation can continue.
Your most loyal servant, – White Zetsu.
PS: Brainwashing worked perfectly. He doesn't remember anything and even asked where the Mangekyo Sharingan came from. I told him it was given by a kind person, and he never asked again.
PPS: Black Zetsu seems to be suspicious. Should I deal with him? He's so annoying, always acting like he's plotting something!
Snap!
Closing the report from White Zetsu, Uchiha Sogetsu leaned back in his chair, tapping his forehead thoughtfully.
"He goes mad at the full moon… Seems like he's affected by the moon. From the signs, I can roughly confirm the source of the corruption… It's the 'Mother Goddess of Depravity'."
Hmm, my anxious heart can finally rest.
It was like a prisoner who had been sentenced to death but hadn't yet received the execution order. After endless suffering, they thought there might still be a small chance of a pardon, only to find out that what awaited them was slow slicing!
At the very top of the 22 paths of the gods was Sequence Zero, the True God, and above all the sequences was the level known as the "Great Old One."
Any being at the "Great Old One" level means that they have completely mastered all of their paths and fully grasped the "Sefirah," gaining all of their powers and symbols.
Even the True God of Sequence Zero could not resist the corruption from the "Great Old Ones." The gap between them was like the difference between clouds and mud, an insurmountable chasm!
Before the "Great Old Ones," all are mere ants.
The only things that could resist the "Great Old Ones" were other beings of the same rank. Even the "True God" would be no more than a speck of dust before them.
And the Mother Goddess of Depravity... was one of the "Great Old Ones"!
But he was only Sequence Four, a demigod!
He was still far from Sequence Zero, a vast distance away, and not even considered an "Angel" yet.
"First, we can rule out the 'true body,'" he murmured.
"If it were really the Mother Goddess of Depravity, the Hidden Leaf Village would have been devoured long ago, and there's no way we would still be here. After all, there's no Lord of Mysteries here, and no defensive barrier."
Although he had ruled out the most terrifying possibility, the remaining options were still troubling for Uchiha Sogetsu.
Whether what was on the moon was a remnant will of the Mother Goddess of Depravity or something related to it, it was still extremely dangerous to him at his current level.
"I'm still just a Sequence Four kid..."
Uchiha Sogetsu sighed in frustration.
Even the King of Angels, Emperor Rosell, who was at Sequence One of the Hermit Pathway, couldn't resist the contamination of the Mother Goddess of Depravity.
What chance did he, a mere Sequence Four demigod, have?
This situation was like asking Xiao Yan from Utan City to duel Soul Heaven Emperor alone—completely ridiculous!
"At least, until I'm fully prepared, I absolutely can't rush to the moon..." Uchiha Sogetsu pressed his fingers to his temple.
After hearing that there might be something related to the Mother Goddess of Depravity on the moon, he became even more cautious.
After all, it was one of the Great Old Ones, and if he made even the smallest mistake, he would end up like Emperor Rosell, trapped in a coffin, endlessly struggling for his life.
Hmm... Maybe not even comparable to Emperor Rosell.
He's a Sequence 1 Angel, yet has fallen to this state. As for him, a Sequence 4 demigod, he might just lose control and turn into the Mother Goddess of Depravity's RBQ.
His scattered thoughts slowly returned to focus.
Uchiha Sogetsu steadied himself. Since it's been confirmed that the moon is related to the "Mother Goddess of Depravity" and also connected to the Otsutsuki clan in many ways, he wasn't in a hurry anymore.
"Otsutsuki... hehe, really interesting."
He narrowed his pale golden eyes, his lips curling up as he muttered to himself, "It seems there are many secrets in this 'starry sky' that I don't know. The origin of the Otsutsuki clan, the sudden appearance of the 'Mother Goddess of Depravity,' and who knows what other secrets are hidden in the Pure Land?"
...
...
...
The world of the dead, the Pure Land.
"When people from the world of the living die, their souls are drawn here to quietly await reincarnation."
"But there are some special beings, whose chakra was so vast and powerful in life that they can resist reincarnation, thus remaining in the Pure Land."
"For thousands of years, there has been one such being."
"And that is the one hailed as the founder of the Ninja sect, the creator of the ninja system, the legendary Sage of the Six Paths—Otsutsuki Hagoromo!"
"I'm curious..."
"Otsutsuki Hagoromo, what made you so obsessed with staying in the Pure Land for hundreds of years, unwilling to reincarnate, and instead, constantly intervening in the affairs of the mortal world?"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man, dressed in simple white robes with a thick golden beard, stepped toward the elder, his clear eyes gazing at him as he slowly spoke.
The elder had two horns on his forehead, and besides his usual human features, he also had a vertical eye in the center of his forehead.
Upon hearing the young man's voice, all three of his eyes opened at once, glaring at him with a cold gaze.
"You... Who are you?!"
The Sage of the Six Paths stared at the young man, his brow involuntarily furrowing deeply, a solemn expression on his face as he spoke in a heavy tone, "You have no place in the history or future of ninjas!"
"Oh? That eye has such power?"
The middle-aged man seemed somewhat surprised. He glanced at the elder's vertical eye and said, "You can call me 'Adam.' How about we make this fair? You answer one of my questions, and I'll answer one of yours. What do you say?"
The Sage of the Six Paths furrowed his brow, unwilling to accept such a ridiculous suggestion.
But just as he was about to refuse, he realized that the middle-aged man's eyes, which had been ordinary, were now glowing faintly with a molten gold color, exuding an overwhelming pressure that enveloped the Pure Land.
In an instant, he had a strange feeling, as though he were the one who had intruded into the divine realm as a mortal!
"I advise you to think carefully before you answer."
Adam smiled calmly and spoke in a laid-back tone, "There is only one chance."
The Sage of the Six Paths remained silent for a long while, then nodded. "Alright."
