Chapter 6: The Land Shrouded in Red and Black

Meow me

At such a voice, Uchiha Kaede felt a surge of power welling up in his right eye.

Suddenly, his eyes flickered and he came to a strange space—

A hollow, spiraling blood-colored sky that gradually turns from shallow to deep,

Unable to see the border, constantly exuding an ominous aura, the ground shrouded in darkness,

The whole world is in the colors of blood red and black,

Everywhere there is a dead silence, not even the air exists,

It's as if nothing alive exists here.

Being in a space where there's nothing just makes people feel oppressive.

Now, Uchiha Kaede appears here.

He moved his body to determine the basic situation of this world:

The soles of the feet have a substantial touch,

If you look straight ahead, you can see the dividing line between the red sky and the dark earth that appears in the distance.

The undulating abdomen still shows that even if there is no air, there is still no discomfort, and there is still a real feeling of breathing.

Across his arm, there was still a faint pain.

Everything in the body seemed to be constantly conveyed to the Uchiha Kaede - this is a real world, but the mind clearly records how he got here - the activation of the power of the right eye, which is the only possible reason.

Uchiha Kaede touched his right eye and looked at the sky, the spiraling crimson mist-like unknown in the sky kept flashing red light and coiled towards the endless void.

How to leave? Uchiha Kaede fell into deep thought, the original kaleidoscope ability of the right eye was not likely to be used, and it was completely silent here, and even the ability that he called "energy stagnation" was no longer activated, is it related to this world?

Or is it because there is no energy in this world that the right eye can absorb?

After all, there are only three kinds of energy that the right eye can absorb – chakra, natural energy, and mana.

But the energy he can use is only chakra, his body can't withstand the erosion of natural energy, and naturally he can't use the immortal mode and natural energy, and Mana can't even mobilize the energy he just obtained, so how can he use it?

Uchiha Kaede, who had all kinds of thoughts, couldn't get out of the predicament no matter how much he thought about it, so he gave up and began to investigate the situation in this world.

Half an hour later—

"It's a prison!!"

Uchiha Kaede kept exploring around for half an hour, but no matter how he went, it was always the same scene, and he could only stop when he couldn't explore, and the only thing he gained was

——

There was no energy expenditure, even though he had unleashed a few large ninjutsu in this world...... But this made Uchiha Kaede's idea that this was an illusory world even stronger.

Suddenly, a trace of purple smoke appeared in the originally all-red sky, which made the originally helpless Uchiha Kaede's eyes flash, and he rushed in that direction with all his might.

The Uchiha Kaede, who kept running, lost track of time, and didn't remember how long he had been running, he just watched as the little purple in the blood-colored sky expanded at a turtle crawling speed, little by little, little by little.

Until- he suddenly heard a voice coming from the front -

Pap-pa-da-da-wow~

In this space where nothing exists, there is suddenly a sound that can be heard, but this is not normal at all, how can there be a medium that can transmit sound in a space where air does not exist?

Unscientific voices make this already strange space even more eerie.

Uchiha Kaede's hands are knotted into ugly marks:

"The Shadow Clone Technique!"

Bang~ A burst of white mist appeared, and another Uchiha Kaede appeared in place after disappearing.

He glanced at his main body and ran forward.

When the shadow clone reached the source of the purple smoke, he was shocked to see the scene in front of him:

The purple smoke rising from the sky, the small black-purple lakes that are hazy in the smoke, and the purple liquid that drips from the sky all make this picture full of fantasy.

The shadow clone lifted the ninjutsu after looking around and seeing that there was no danger.

Uchiha Kaede, who received the memory of the shadow clone, flashed his eyes and quickly ran there.

However, as soon as he arrived there, Kaede Uchiha noticed that the lake, which had only occasionally made a crackling sound, suddenly went berserk.

Uchiha Kaede's face changed, and he just wanted to retreat, but he was slapped into the water by the lake that set off a hundred-meter wave.

Breathlessness, weakness in his limbs, and the water rushing from all sides kept rushing into Uchiha Kaede's body, and from his mouth, ears, nose, any place that could enter his body was occupied by purple water, and the pain began to intensify, and his consciousness was numb from great pain and thought that his body was starting to heat up.

"It's hot, it's hot, it's hot, it's hot—ahhhh Ahh

Even though more water would enter when he opened his mouth, Uchiha Kaede kept screaming in an attempt to release the pain in his consciousness. One second is as long as a year, one second, one second, and another second.

I don't know how long it has been, but the vision has gradually become clearer.

As if nothing had changed, Parker, the kitten who had just begun to guide himself to feel the "door", Atsuki Ang, whose face was distorted by envy, and Emilia, the girl who was still communicating with the micro-elves in the distance, were still the same as when Uchiha Kaede's vision was blurred just now.

Uchiha Kaede was sure that he would never forget the pain he suffered in that space, but even if it hurt so much that he forgot the concept of time, he must have been in that world for a very long time-

It was very far away from the place where he had rushed to the purple smoke at the beginning of that world, so he wasted a long time hurrying to make his way.

But—the time of the outside world was still stuck at the moment when he entered that world, and he thought of an ability—monthly reading.

One of the skills possessed by the Uchiha Itachi Kaleidoscope.

Monthly reading can create a world that is controlled by those who control it, and the time, quality, and nature of the world are determined by the caster, so a day in that world is only equivalent to a moment in the outside world.

Itachi Uchiha often uses it to transmit information and inflict mental blows on his own brother! Yes, you read that right, it's a brother-controlled kaleidoscope that is only used on my younger brother~ Hate me, my stupid brother~~

And when Uchiha Kaede was in that world, time in the outside world definitely stood still! It's like the Uchiha Itachi's moon reading.

Thinking about it, Uchiha Kaede touched his right eye, and the ability of his right eye in the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye is still unknown, so that world may have a connection with the right eye.

"Wow~Oh! Kaede, your attributes are really rare! It's yin!"

Parker woke up the pensive Uchiha Kaede, and subconsciously replied:

"Yin attributes?"

Parker nodded embarrassedly and explained to Uchiha Kaede:

"In fact, in addition to the four attributes that most people have, there are also rare attributes that only a very small number of people can have—yin and yang.

And Feng's attribute is the yin attribute, it's not that you don't have the qualifications to use other attributes, it's just that compared to your extremely excellent yin attributes, other qualifications are really bad.

Also, you should be able to mobilize Mana now!? Just now I tried to direct the flow of the lower mana from inside your door."

Hearing Parker say this, Kaede Uchiha remembered his experience in that world—the purple lake and the misty purple smoke.

He tried to extract Mana from his "door", that is, his eyes—

At the slightest touch, the accident happened-

Bump~ A large amount of black smoke enveloped a large area, as if the world had been plunged into darkness.

Uchiha Kaede, the two plus a cat hurriedly rushed out of the smoke.

"Ahem! I didn't expect it to be so difficult to control, I thought a little mana should be fine, but did it turn out to be too much?"

Uchiha Kaede coughed twice, he had just come out of that world, where he had endured pain and torture for an unknown amount of time, and now he was just beating his spirit, even if his body was fine, but his spirit was tormented in that world. So after taking out the energy, I was in a trance, and I didn't notice how much energy was called up in my right eye, and with a shake of my hand, Mana came out......

(Mana: Blame me~)

"What the hell is going on with you? Suddenly, a cloud of black smoke rushed over, and the elves ran away in a panic!"

As soon as the girl Emilia ran out of the smoke, she looked at the two men and a cat with complaining eyes.

But even in such an atmosphere, Cai Yueang still complained about Emilia:

"It's useless to panic...... Hey, hey, you, your eyes are so horrible, you're going to die! Damn it!!"

Looking at Ameria's cold gaze, the cat pulled back the focus of the topic, "You're still going inside, right? Then please protect my daughter, after all, I need so many meat pads to tell you so much!"

The cat at the end of the sermon glanced at Uchiha Kaede, and even Uchiha Kaede, who was still very tired, reluctantly gave me a look back.

After all, this was what had been said before—even if Parker didn't have to explain it, Uchiha Kaede still knew what he meant.

After all, the cat was able to know what Uchiha Kaede's attitude was towards his daughter, Emilia.

Feeling that Uchiha Kaede had no intention of protecting his daughter, and that Atsuki was one of the obviously unreliable people, he reached a negotiation - which had been done since Uchiha Kaede asked Parker to test the location of his "door".

Uchiha Kaede only has a faint appreciation for Amilia, just because he has watched anime and loves the characters in anime works, so it is impossible for Uchiha Kaede to have feelings for Amilia, at most he will help her when she is in danger.

All along, what he can do is never save, all he is good at is killing.

He was insensitive before the crossing, and he could only keep taking on tasks, assassinations, missions, assassinations, and was forced to become a puppet and be at the mercy of others.

After crossing into the Hokage world, even though he still keeps killing, he has found a reason to become stronger: to break free from the shackles of the world.

"Even if you don't give me a test 'door'...... Leave it to Uncle Ben! I'm not going to let the beautiful girl get hurt!!"

Obviously still made a handsome declaration to Atsuki Ang, who only has the treatment that Uchiha Kaede has, but he was hit back by a beautiful girl's complaint:

"Yes, yes, yes~ But it's still unbelievable, I don't even know the words, and Ang, who was beaten up by three ordinary people, can still say such things!"

Emilia cast a distrustful look at Natsuki, but reluctantly responded to him.

"Then you've decided to go inside!? Also, I've reached the limit." As he spoke, Parker flew onto Emilia's shoulder and became transparent.

"How do you disappear like you're dead!?"

"Because I want to protect my only daughter from a man with a vicious eye, I will hold on until my body is unusable, and when I disappear, I will scatter completely."

Parker's body became more transparent, so Emilia took out the green crystalline stone, made him stand on it, and finally admonished Emilia:

"If you encounter danger, you can lean next to Kaede, don't look at him as plain, but even I can feel a little dangerous, so I can rest assured that he is there, but if he himself is difficult to protect, you have to summon me even if you use soul power!"

"Well, okay I see, Parker, you can rest in peace."

The cat, who heard the girl's answer, glanced at the girl, and then her whole body turned into light particles and slowly disappeared.
