Naruto : My system is weird

"No..."

"It's not a Genjutsu."

Black Zetsu also realized it. Staring at the Uchiha clansmen, he watched as their bodies phased through bushes, trees, and even buildings.First came a moment of speechlessness, followed by over ten minutes of deep contemplation.

Black Zetsu had no intel on that stone statue that kept shouting "cha," but this bizarre situation...

It had witnessed something similar during its long existence in the Shinobi World.

"What the hell is this?!"

"The state of these people... is strange."

Obito spoke these words with great tension, for after some experimentation, he discovered that the entire Uchiha clan's bodies seemed to be in a state akin to his own God Power intangibility.

There were only two possible explanations...

One, the Uchiha clan had mastered a technique similar to his God Power intangibility.

The other...

Obito couldn't think of anything else, and just the first possibility alone made his blood boil with rage.

If they had mastered God Power without paying any price, then what did all his suffering amount to?

A joke?

Right now, he just wanted to figure out what was happening.

"They're ghosts."

The erudite Black Zetsu finally spoke up to enlighten Obito, but this single sentence was like a bucket of cold water dousing the flames of anger that had just ignited in Obito's heart.

"Huh? You... what did you say?!"

"Ghosts?!"

Behind his mask, Obito's expression twisted in disbelief. Hearing such an absurd claim, he nearly cursed out loud.

What kind of nonsense was this?!

Weren't ghosts just stories to scare children?!

But the eerie events he had just witnessed forced him to swallow his retort.

Good news: his God Power intangibility hadn't become common knowledge.

Bad news...

They were now facing the entire Uchiha clan, who had turned into ghosts.

"Yes, exactly the kind of ghosts you're thinking of."

Black Zetsu answered with certainty, and as if to prove its words, it ordered White Zetsu to attempt communication and contact with the Uchiha clan.

But the result...

The ghosts seemed completely unaware of their presence, continuing to go about their own business while muttering incoherently.

"I think I understand now." Black Zetsu narrowed its eyes slightly, its usual air of confidence returning.

"Itachi's massacre of the clan has left them filled with resentment."

"And the Uchiha clan's hatred has turned them into ghost-like existences..."

In short.

Uchiha Itachi had acted inhumanely—committing genocide was one thing, but failing to clean up properly and allowing the entire clan to become ghosts...

Even Black Zetsu found this scene horrifying.

As Black Zetsu explained, Obito's gaze swept across the interior of Amegakure.

Under the dim streetlights, thousands of figures wandered the alleys and streets.

Not a single living soul walked the roads!!!

At this moment, the entire village seemed devoid of any trace of living beings.

The sight sent shivers down Obito's spine, his scalp tingling as cold sweat drenched his body.

"Enough. Stop talking."

Just as Black Zetsu was about to delve into Shinobi World ghost stories, Obito couldn't take it anymore and cut it off.

"What matters now is how we proceed with the Eye of the Moon Plan!"

"These ghosts... have nothing to do with us!"

"We'll come back for Nagato another day!"

Obito spoke so quickly that Black Zetsu had no time to react before he grabbed it and used God Power to vanish from the scene...

Meanwhile, the two brothers and Uchiha Hikari, having entered the Secret Realm, immediately arrived at the clan's temporary encampment.According to Shisui's observations of the clan members, he discovered that ninjutsu... or rather, chakra played an almost negligible role here.

Here, their chakra was depleted with every use, and under the influence of unknown energy, they couldn't even refine new chakra.

This forced the Uchiha clan to rely entirely on manual labor for constructing their camp.

However...

They also discovered that the wild fruits and certain plants in this area provided significant boosts to their taijutsu training.

Due to these various factors, their exploration range was even smaller than what Nagato and Kaito had initially covered.

"Kaito?" Shisui, who had just finished a battle, spotted the trio in the distance and called out loudly.

The three then saw Shisui dragging two rabbits toward them—one in each hand.

Yes, dragging!

The rabbits in Shisui's hands were as large as grown adults, their fur a deep crimson.

Even Kaito, who had expected something unusual, was slightly taken aback at the sight.

"This thing... don't tell me it's a rabbit?!"

Uchiha Hikari pointed with her small finger, then turned her head in disbelief.

"It's... a demon beast, right?"

Kaito spoke uncertainly.

Hearing this, Sasuke also grew curious, but the thought of confronting that terrifying reality made him shrink back behind Kaito. He didn't even dare to meet Shisui's gaze.

"These giant rabbits gave our clan a hard time."

"The flames they spewed were even hotter than our Fire Release..."

Shisui then vividly recounted the Uchiha clan's full-scale battle against these two fire-breathing rabbits.

In short—

They had to exert their utmost effort just to kill these two demon beasts.

Though no one died in the battle, half the clan still ended up injured...

"Foundation Establishment Stage demon beasts?"

Kaito crouched beside the two corpses, sensing the lingering aura, and inwardly sighed in relief for them.

At least these were only Foundation Establishment Stage demon beasts...

If they had encountered one at the peak of Foundation Establishment, Kaito estimated that at least half the clan would have been wiped out.

"You should be more careful..." Kaito said gravely, then pointed toward the depths of the forest.

"This time, you were lucky. Next time you encounter monsters like these, don't provoke them."

Shisui had mentioned that the demon beasts in the forest weren't aggressive—as long as they weren't attacked first, the beasts usually wouldn't initiate combat.

"I wish we could..."

Shisui sighed helplessly, glancing down at the two corpses at his feet.

"The clan believes that consuming demon... beasts' flesh can greatly enhance taijutsu..."

"We can't stop them."

Kaito: "..."

Shisui was right—this was exactly the kind of thing the Uchiha clan would do.

Well, there was no point trying to dissuade them. They probably wouldn't take it seriously until some of them died, forcing them to reassess the Uchiha clan's true strength.

At least it would put an end to their delusions of being invincible.

"Here..."

"Chakra can't be used?"

Uchiha Hikari suddenly frowned deeply. In her perception, the connection with the clan members marked by the Eight Thousand Spear Marks was intermittent.

She had never encountered such a situation before.

"It's a Secret Realm—it's normal."

Kaito simply nodded, then pointed at Shisui. "Where's the notebook I gave you? Didn't it have the survival guidelines for Cultivation of Immortality Secret Realms?"

"I remember it should have a general introduction to Secret Realms, right?"Shisui's expression stiffened upon hearing this, then he scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.

"It's... it's too complicated. The only thing I understood was spiritual energy..."

Speaking of which, Shisui seemed to recall something. He rummaged in his robe for a long while before pulling out a tattered piece of parchment.

"Here, I found this in a cave."

"We couldn't understand the writing on it..."

Taking the parchment from Shisui, Kaito immediately noticed the large characters written on it.

"Raging Wave Flowing Water Technique"
