Chapter 585 Awakening the Golden Nine-Tomoe Sharingan
Night fell as dark as ink, pressing heavily over the capital of the Land of Fire.
In the camp, the campfires flickered in the wind, illuminating tired yet vigilant faces.
The daytime battles with the strongmen of Konoha were still fresh in everyone's minds. The 100,000-strong Allied Shinobi Forces suffered heavy losses and had long lost their former arrogance.
Whispers in the tent, groans from wounds, and the soft clash of weapons intertwined to create an atmosphere so oppressive it was suffocating.
Some ninjas stared blankly at the Uchiha fire array surrounding the capital of the Land of Fire, their hearts filled with both resentful anger and deep-seated fear.
A young ninja murmured to himself, his fingers stroking the kunai at his waist, his eyes filled with hesitation.
"Do we really want to continue? We already suffered a crushing defeat during the day. The power of Konoha Village is simply beyond our capabilities..."
His companion patted him on the shoulder, his tone heavy: "There is no other choice. The daimyo have given a death order. Retreat or charge, it's all the same."
On the high platform in the center of the fire array, Uchiha Sanfeng stood alone, surrounded by the immense chakra of the Super Nine-Tails. The pale golden chakra flowed around him like water, resonating faintly with the bloodline within him, emitting a subtle hum.
He tilted his head slightly, his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan slowly rotating, its crimson pupils concealing unwavering conviction. His gaze was fixed on the dark night sky, his fingers unconsciously tapping the tabletop, as if waiting for a predetermined moment.
"The time is almost here; the war in the ninja world should come to an end."
Just past midnight, a dazzling golden light surged from the body of the Super Nine-Tailed Fox, like a nimble golden snake, slowly converging along the meridians of the three peaks to the center of his brow.
In an instant, Uchiha Mitsufumi felt a burning pain between his eyebrows, as if something was trying to break through the restraints of his skin.
He clenched his fists tightly, closed his eyes, and frowned, guiding this violent power to awaken little by little. The stinging pain between his brows intensified, but his gaze grew ever more resolute.
"Buzz..."
A thin crack appeared on the skin between Uchiha Mitsuhō's eyebrows, and golden light spilled out from the crack.
As the light faded, a golden, nine-tomoe Rinne Sharingan suddenly opened between his eyebrows...
This eye far surpasses the ordinary Rinnegan, containing power sufficient to rewrite the world and manipulate dreams.
He slowly opened his eyes, the crimson in them completely fading away, replaced by a golden divine light that shared the same origin as the Rinnegan between his eyebrows. He raised his hand and gently touched the Rinnegan between his eyebrows, feeling a warm sensation on his fingers, and an unprecedented sense of power surged within him.
The golden Rinnegan slowly rotated, and his chakra suddenly erupted, forming an invisible current that steadily lifted his body.
He slowly rose into the air and flew step by step toward the Allied forces camp.
The oppressive aura swept across the entire battlefield like a tidal wave, causing the ground to tremble slightly and even the campfires in the camp to flicker violently.
He stood tall and straight, his robes fluttering in the night wind. The golden Rinnegan between his brows shone with light, his gaze cold and majestic, like a god descended to earth, looking down upon the insignificant beings below.
The ninjas in the allied camp instantly became alert, standing up abruptly and gripping their ninja tools tightly. The crisp sound of swords being drawn echoed throughout the camp. Everyone looked up at the three peaks in the sky, their eyes filled with fear and panic.
"Enemy attack..."
"Is...Uchiha Mitsumine...is he finally going to make his move?"
Someone shouted in a trembling voice.
They could clearly sense that the aura emanating from the three peaks was exceptionally terrifying and powerful. The pressure emanating from the golden Rinnegan was like an invisible boulder, making it difficult for them to even breathe.
Some people's legs trembled uncontrollably, and some even knelt down, not even having the courage to raise their heads.
"He...he has a golden eye between his eyebrows...what is that?"
A Hidden Stone Village ninja stared wide-eyed, his voice filled with shock!
"I've never seen eyes like these before... Are they the legendary Rinnegan?"
Sanfeng hovered hundreds of meters above the Allied Forces, his golden Rinnegan shining brightly between his brows. He slowly raised his hands, palms facing each other, and the chakra of the Super Nine-Tails surged into his body like a tide, perfectly merging with the power of the golden Rinnegan. A dazzling golden halo emanated from his body.
His voice, amplified by chakra, resonated clearly throughout the battlefield. Each word struck the heart of every ninja like a heavy hammer: "Today, I will end the thousand-year war in the ninja world and give everyone a true home... Infinite Tsukuyomi."
After speaking, he paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over the panicked allied forces below, a sense of calm as if he were about to end everything.
The moment the words fell, the golden Rinnegan between Sanfeng's brows erupted with an extremely dazzling divine light. A huge golden pillar of light shot straight into the sky, piercing through the thick clouds, and condensed in the night sky into a phantom yet incredibly real golden full moon.
The full moon emitted a soft yet penetrating light, cascading down like a tide, covering every corner of the entire ninja world without missing a single detail...
Whether it's a battlefield engulfed in flames, a remote and tranquil village, a bustling town, or a desolate desert, all are bathed in this golden moonlight.
The clouds were gradually dispersed by the moonlight, and the originally dark night sky became clear. The golden moonlight gently shone on the earth, as if to soothe all the wounds.
The light was as gentle as the warm spring sun, falling on the skin with a touch of warmth, yet it contained an illusionary power so powerful that it was irresistible.
Anyone who does not possess the power of the Six Paths or is protected by a special barrier, regardless of where they are in the ninja world, whether they are an unarmed civilian or a battle-hardened ninja, will have their eyes turn white the moment they touch this golden moonlight, their body will go limp and they will be instantly pulled into the genjutsu world constructed by the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
On the battlefield, the 100,000-strong ninja alliance fell in droves, like harvested straw.
The once bustling camp fell into a deathly silence in just a few breaths, with only the crackling of the campfire and the faint sound of golden moonlight flowing through it.
In distant towns and villages, ordinary people collapsed in the streets and inside their homes... A woman mending clothes lost her needle and thread; a child playing stopped and collapsed to the ground; a farmer working put down his tools.
Everyone's face was filled with anticipation for the future, as if they were in a dream, able to possess all the happiness they longed for.
In the illusionary world of Infinite Tsukuyomi, time is stretched infinitely, and everyone who falls into the illusion has their own "life"—a life without pain or war.
Everything here is so real that it's impossible to distinguish between illusion and reality; every touch and every emotion feels incredibly real.
When the common people opened their eyes, what greeted them was not the chaos of war and the suffering of starvation... The square was packed with people, all with expectant faces. Uchiha Sanfeng stood on a high platform, dressed in white, his golden Rinnegan between his brows gleaming softly, as he escorted the daimyo and nobles of various countries who had committed numerous atrocities to the execution platform.
"These people oppress the people, levy exorbitant taxes, and incite war. Today, I will bring them to justice on behalf of all the people of the ninja world!" Sanfeng's voice echoed throughout the square, his tone firm and tinged with compassion.
The common people cheered, applause and shouts rose and fell, their eyes filled with relief and excitement.
They witnessed firsthand how those oppressors who had once swaggered over them were brought to justice under trial; they witnessed firsthand how the flag of heaven was planted on every inch of the ninja world, how the once divided land was unified, how wars were quelled, and how the light of peace illuminated every corner.
Immediately afterwards, they saw that Sanfeng issued one new policy after another, and each new policy resonated with their hearts.
"Abolish all exorbitant taxes and levies, and eliminate the heavy corvée labor! From now on, the common people will no longer have to toil for taxes, nor be exploited by corvée labor. They can farm in peace and live in peace!"
"Every ordinary household will receive eight acres of tax-free fertile land, enough to feed the whole family!"
"Establish free schools in towns and villages so that all children can attend school, learn to read and write, escape the fate of illiteracy, and become useful members of society!"
"Establish a comprehensive medical system, set up public clinics on the streets, and provide free medical treatment for the common people, regardless of their wealth. No one will suffer a painful death because they cannot afford medical care, and no one will be ruined by a minor illness!"
