[Parallel World 5 Unification Progress: 29% → 62%]
Lux glanced at the system's unification progress.
Unexpectedly, after this battle, the unification progress of Parallel World 5 surged to 62%, more than doubling!
This was not strange.
After this battle, the Kage Summit was completely destroyed.
Four out of the five Kage were dead, plus the Iron Country's commander who also died, and Black Zetsu who was already dead before... etc.
It could be said that the original plot of Parallel World 5 was completely messed up!
Coupled with the revival and reformation of the new Akatsuki, the strengthening of the revived Nagato and Itachi...
Now, Parallel World 5 was almost entirely controlled by Akatsuki under Nagato's leadership!
The others, including the Five Great Nations and all other forces, might be superior in scale and economy, but in terms of peak power, they were far behind.
With such a comparison, it was not strange for the unification progress to soar beyond 50%.
Thus:
[Parallel World 1: 81%]
[Parallel World 2: 52%]
[Parallel World 3: 100%]
[Parallel World 4: 86%]
[Parallel World 5: 62%]
The newly opened Parallel World 5 directly surpassed the progress of Parallel World 2 under Tobirama.
This was indeed something Lux hadn't expected before.
But in Parallel World 2, Madara was still alive, increasing the difficulty; poor Tobirama, his fate was too unlucky.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"Sir, is Black Zetsu really dead?"
Nagato asked again. Although Itachi was sure Sasuke had killed the remaining body of Black Zetsu, as a creature that had lived for thousands of years, Nagato still had doubts, and the best way was to confirm with this Tenshou Sennin.
"Don't worry, he's dead."
Lux gave his assurance, because after Black Zetsu's death, the system's unification progress had also increased.
Black Zetsu couldn't possibly deceive the system.
"Good!"
"Why? Do you feel that Black Zetsu and the five Kage died too easily? Regretting underestimating them before?"
"A little regret. Maybe I was too naive, too weak in the past. If I had been more decisive, perhaps I would have already destroyed the five great nations..."
Nagato admitted honestly.
Amegakure was a small village that had been constantly squeezed by the three great nations for decades. In such an environment, Nagato's mindset was different from the ninjas of the great nations.
This made him misjudge the strength of the great nations.
Although he already possessed sufficient power, he remained very cautious, choosing to secretly lead Akatsuki to gather strength.
If he had known the five Kage were so weak, he could have visited one great village each year and used Shinra Tensei to destroy everything...
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
After Lux's appearance, Itachi, who was the most vigilant and curious, continued to observe and analyze silently.
Unfortunately, he didn't obtain much information.
This opponent had no chakra aura, nor any special eyes, almost the same as an ordinary person. But how could an ordinary person suddenly appear, surpassing everyone's reaction?
This was beyond common sense.
Itachi could only regard this 'Tenshou Sennin' as the ultimate threat and secretly listen to his conversation with Nagato to obtain more information.
But when Nagato mentioned 'destroying the five great nations.'
Itachi couldn't bear it anymore.
He didn't know Lux's goal was to unify the world, so he was worried that Nagato was 'inciting' this Tenshou Sennin.
He hurriedly interrupted:
"Leader, sorry to interrupt. May I know, is this Tenshou Sennin the one who revived the Leader? What is Sir's relationship with the Sage of the Six Paths?"
Itachi knew his interruption was impolite. But for Konoha, he had to take the risk!
If the opponent was truly on par with the Sage of the Six Paths, he couldn't let him stand on the opposite side of Konoha!
"Uchiha Itachi, is it?"
"Yes!"
"If forced to choose between your younger brother Sasuke and Konoha, who would you choose?"
Lux didn't answer Itachi's question but asked one in return.
"I..."
This deadly question silenced Itachi, unable to answer immediately.
Was his younger brother more important? Or the village?
"Then let's change the question. If your father Uchiha Fugaku had known earlier, do you think he would have agreed with your choice?"
"..."
Itachi fell silent again.
Now looking back at the Uchiha clan massacre, Itachi actually didn't give Fugaku a choice. He never informed his father beforehand, directly attacking their home.
Technically, this was arrogance and selfishness, forcing his father to decide.
Either his father killed him, and the Uchiha clan would still be massacred.
Or he killed his father, but could save Sasuke.
What could Fugaku choose? Only the latter.
If it were elsewhere, if before the night of the massacre, Fugaku had known Itachi's choice...
Would the result be the same?
Would his father have killed him?
Itachi didn't know, couldn't answer, didn't dare to face the parents he had hurt.
Seeing this, Sasuke was furious.
He immediately stepped forward, protecting his brother.
"What Tenshou Sennin? A fraud pretending to be holy wants to deceive my brother?"
"I won't allow it!"
Sasuke cut off the conversation, mocking with disgust. He drew Kusanagi, pointing it at Lux.
What Tenshou Sennin?
Doesn't look strong, talks a lot of nonsense.
Just a few words made his brother fall into painful memories; such a madman was unacceptable!
No one understood Itachi's suffering during the clan massacre more than him.
This time, it was his turn to protect his beloved brother!
"Interesting."
Lux looked at the arrogant and confident Sasuke.
Sasuke was as bold as ever? It seemed he still lacked a profound lesson!
Alright, help a little, give him a lesson.
"Uchiha Sasuke."
"What? Want to fight? Let's test the truth of your fake Tenshou Sennin!"
"Careful, don't end up dying at the hands of your ancestors."
Lux reminded him kindly.
"Huh? What do you mean..."
Before Sasuke finished speaking, suddenly the surrounding space vibrated, and he instantly disappeared.
Clearly, Lux used world teleportation, moving Sasuke to Parallel World 1.
Because the unification progress of Parallel World 5 had exceeded 50%, in addition to the leader of the bound party, two additional members could be brought into his world.
As a member of Akatsuki, Sasuke was naturally included and could be forcibly moved by Lux.
And at that instant, Sasuke, who suddenly appeared in Parallel World 1, found himself in a simple office.
In front of him, two figures were 'wrestling' awkwardly.
It looked like one person was riding the other, trying to open his clothes.
One of their faces was very familiar to Sasuke, while the other resembled him...
"Madara! Don't move, let me see!"
"Bastard, don't open my clothes!"
"Tobirama said there's my face on your chest? Is it true? Come on, show me!"
"What? Tobirama told you? You cunning bastard, I'll definitely..."
Sasuke's sudden appearance interrupted their game.
The two immediately fell silent.
"Who are you?"
Hashirama was curious, looking at the suddenly appearing Sasuke, feeling somewhat familiar.
"A-Are you the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama?"
"Yes! Sharingan? Looks like you're also an Uchiha ninja? Appearing so suddenly, are you from the future? Sent by Master?"
"You guys are? Wait, if you're Hashirama, then you're the ancestor of the Uchiha..."
Sasuke's brain almost overheated, shocked to see Hashirama and Madara, and began to guess the identity of the figure Hashirama was riding.
A giant Susano'o fist slammed down, and Sasuke, who was hit directly, broke through the wall, flying far away...
