The Barrier That Seals Time and Space - 8 The Cage of the Bird!

The rally ended quickly.

The tense atmosphere that had been building up quickly vanished after Jiraiya and Tsunade appeared.

Everyone left with smiles on their faces.

……

……

The Land of Fire.

In a small, secluded base.

"spot……"

A humanoid creature, entirely black, flowed in through the crack in the door, like a liquid.

"What is it?" A man wearing a swirling mask asked in a deep, hoarse voice from inside the room.

"Latest intelligence."

Black Zetsu grinned and said, "Uchiha Junichi retrieved the Sharingan you placed on Kakashi."

"What!?" Obito immediately couldn't sit still and looked at Black Zetsu in surprise.

"It seems to be Junichi Uchiha who used the Hatake clan to coerce Kakashi into handing over your eyes, and also the Chidori," Black Zetsu chuckled in a low voice.

"Kakashi, that guy..."

Obito couldn't help but grit his teeth, his tone full of disappointment and frustration.

These were the eyes he entrusted to us before he "died"!

Why hand it over so easily?

He even handed over the precious ninjutsu he developed, Chidori!

Is Junichi Uchiha really that scary?

"Well, it's not Kakashi's fault. Junichi Uchiha defeated all of Konoha's high-ranking officials, and he even snatched the Hokage position from the Senju faction. Even Jiraiya and Tsunade acknowledged his position as the Fifth Hokage and voluntarily became elders," Black Zetsu said slowly.

"Even Jiraiya and Tsunade?"

Obito stared in disbelief at Black Zetsu.

He knew the intelligence from before.

But weren't Tsunade and Jiraiya ambushed and killed by the Uchiha on their way back to the village, thus disappearing?

When did you return to the village?

"This happened this morning," Black Zetsu said slowly. "Uchiha Junichi summoned all the Jonin and publicly announced Tsunade and Jiraiya as elders, and the two of them acknowledged you on the spot."

As he spoke, Black Zetsu paused for a moment.

Seemingly pondering, he said uncertainly, "It's possible that they reached some kind of secret agreement, which is why they stopped fighting."

"Is that so?" Obito nodded, not particularly concerned.

He was more concerned about Kakashi and his own eyes.

"Now that you've handed over my eyes, it's time for me to retrieve that [Kamui] Mangekyou Sharingan!" Obito touched his left eye socket, his right eye gleaming sharply.

Black Zetsu paused for a moment, then advised, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"Why not?" Obito looked sharply at Black Zetsu and asked, "Didn't you keep urging me to retrieve that eye and make Kamui complete?"

"But the situation is different now." Black Zetsu sighed.

"I don't see any difference!" Obito said dismissively.

"...It's only been a month since the massacre, Junichi Uchiha must have some suspicions, and he couldn't possibly have been unprepared," Black Zetsu said.

"So what?"

Obito smiled dismissively, stood up, and said with arrogance, "With Kamui around, I can come and go as I please!"

"Even the Fourth Hokage, who also possessed space-time ninjutsu, couldn't stop me."

"I want to leave, who can stop me?"

Black Zetsu fell silent.

It prefers to play it safe and wait until the storm has passed before infiltrating the Uchiha clan to retrieve the Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan.

That eye was always displayed in the form of three tomoe.

No one noticed that it had already been upgraded to a kaleidoscope.

The Uchiha clan chooses to seal away the three-tomoe eyes, waiting for a blind clansman to replace them.

They don't need to rush.

"Let's set off now, and we'll arrive at Konoha Village in a week." Obito immediately decided on the timeline.

"...Alright." Black Zetsu reluctantly agreed.

It thought about it and felt that there wouldn't be any major problems, after all, [Divine Might] was a unique spacetime eye technique.

It is almost impossible to restrain.

……

……

Konoha Village.

One week later, on an evening.

Uchiha clan.

"Finally finished."

Zhun let out a long breath and withdrew his hand from the ground.

Instantly.

The tadpole-shaped spell that had spread across the entire floor disappeared.

At the same time.

A notification flashed on the system panel.

[You have completed one training session of the Barrier Technique - Yatagarasu no Cage, Proficiency +1]

【Ding dong! 】

[Your barrier technique - Yatagarasu no Cage - has reached the required proficiency level and has been automatically upgraded.]

[Barrier Technique - Yatagarasu no Cage (Beginner) → (Advanced)]

This is a special barrier spell.

Its special feature is that it blocks space and time, restricting the use of space-time ninjutsu.

"Tobirama Senju is probably suffering from anxiety disorder."

Junichi shook his head and muttered to himself, "After developing the Flying Thunder God Technique, I was worried that others would use space-time ninjutsu against me, so I developed a barrier to seal space-time."

"Of course, I have to thank Tobirama Senju."

"Let me learn directly how to create a spacetime barrier, without having to develop it myself."

As they were talking.

Junichi pulled out a glass tube containing a three-tomoe Sharingan.

The power of [Kamui] lies dormant within it.

He planned to use this eye to fish Obito and Black Zetsu; the Yatagarasu Cage was the net for catching fish.

"Hmm, let's add another layer of insurance."

Junichi gazed at the sleeping kaleidoscope, pondered for a moment, and then summoned a crow.

Whoosh!

A stream of air flew out from his body and transformed into a lifelike raven, with a kaleidoscope of windmill-shaped pupils residing in the raven's eyes.

"go."

A thought flickered in his mind, and he said softly.

blink!

The crow immediately flapped its wings and flew up, landing on his wrist, and gently pecked at the glass tube with its beak.

Upon contact, a dazzling crimson light flashed in the kaleidoscope of the crow's eyes.

Tsukuyomi!

The hidden eye technique was sealed within the three-tomoe Sharingan in a glass tube through a transfer seal.

The trigger condition is set to sensing the same source of pupil power.

This is also the approach taken by Itachi Uchiha.

Before he died, this guy injected his eye power into Sasuke's eyes and set up a transcription seal so that it would activate the moment he saw Obito's Sharingan.

Of course, to avoid Itachi Uchiha's mistake—that Amaterasu might burn Obito's right side, he was not burned to death because of the transplanted Wood Release cells.

Junichi chose the technique [Tsukuyomi].

After setting it up.

He left the room and headed to the forbidden area in the clan's territory where the Sharingan was stored.

……

"Clan chief?"

Inside the restricted area, the clansmen on duty were surprised to see Zhun Yi's figure.

"I forgot to put the Sharingan I took from Kakashi in here for safekeeping, and I only remembered it now," Junichi explained casually, adding, "Just follow the rules."

"Yes, my apologies." The clansman bowed slightly, then activated his Sharingan.

He stared at Junichiro for a moment with his Sharingan, and only relaxed after confirming that it was not the enemy's transformation technique or shadow clone technique.

"This is a small matter, please let me do it for you," the person on duty said with a smile.

"I'll do it myself."

Junichi shook his head and refused: "It's better to see things through to the end."

"The chieftain is right," the clansman echoed, stepping aside to make way.

Zhun nodded to him and stepped inside.

This is an enclosed space built underground.

The interior is spacious and enclosed by special stone materials, with a barrier in place.

It has never been stolen since it was built.
