Uchiha Ryun suddenly sensed a familiar aura from that Datian Wudi, so he left the office and soon parted ways with Sakumo.
It turned out, when Ryun came up from below, he had placed a Flying Thunder God mark on Datian Wudi. He originally planned to visit him at night, but now he sensed a familiar presence.
Therefore, following the mark's guidance, he headed towards that location. It wasn't far, only a few hundred meters from the village.
Ryun narrowed his eyes, following silently from behind, being extremely cautious.
As a result, he heard Kato Dan's voice, "Useless, you can't even handle this little task. Datian Wudi, you truly disappoint your imposing name. I thought you were someone capable!"
"Alright, Dan, don't be angry. Didn't Wudi do his best?" Black Zetsu said with a chuckle, then his face turned cold as a black hand stabbed out.
Just as Datian Wudi was about to thank Black Zetsu, his chest was pierced by the black hand.
"Don't thank me. After all, I don't give ants a chance to speak. If you fail the task, just be more careful in your next life," Black Zetsu said flatly.
Although he was currently sharing a body with Kato Dan, it was all too easy for him to separate a black hand.
Dan didn't react much to this; it was just an ant, after all. He was now filled with hatred for Uchiha Ryun. Clearly, Ryun had stolen his life.
He was sitting there enjoying the fruits, married to Tsunade. All of that should have been mine!!!
After Dan blessed Tsunade and Uchiha Ryun that night, he went back to sleep but dreamed that he and Tsunade were the couple, living happy days. Although the ending was him being killed by Danzō, that period was his most precious memory.
He opened his eyes, keeping this secret hidden in his heart. Probably just his fantasy, he thought, shaking his head. But he had this dream for two consecutive months. He began to wonder if it was really just a dream.
In that dream, there was no character named Uchiha Ryun at all. Right then, Black Zetsu approached him, "Heh, you hold hatred for Uchiha Ryun in your heart, right? Join me, and we will eliminate him someday."
The desire in Dan's heart was infinitely amplified. Perhaps killing Uchiha Ryun would make the world return to normal! Tsunade would come back to his side!
Thinking this, Dan nodded. The two began their cooperation. The assassination attempt before the wedding was their joint plan to frame Jiraiya.
Although it failed, Black Zetsu did not give up. He kept looking for opportunities, planting informants. Finally, he heard about Ryun's plan to release C-rank jutsu. He realized it was an opportunity.
So he had Dan contact a minor clan he knew, leading to Datian Wudi's appearance.
Datian Wudi's face was pale, looking at Kato Dan and the black hand in disbelief, wanting to say something. The Black Zetsu within Dan suddenly raised a hand, covering his throat.
This place isn't far from Konoha, you know. Please die quietly, thank you.
And so, with eyes full of resentment, Datian Wudi finally fell.
"Why! Black Zetsu! Why did we fail again this time! Clearly, in that world in my mind, there was no Uchiha Ryun! Why is it that here, Uchiha Ryun appeared out of nowhere! Seizing my life!" Kato Dan snorted coldly.
"I don't know either," Black Zetsu sighed, but inwardly he was cursing Dan, "You're just a lunatic! What do you mean 'your world' had no Uchiha Ryun? You're insane! If it weren't for your jutsu being somewhat useful, I'd send you to the Pure Land!"
Outside, Uchiha Ryun's pupils constricted. Dan's words were worth pondering! What was going on? How did he know about other dimensions?
"Ding, host, I sense the soul aura of a deceased Kato Dan from another dimension on this Kato Dan," the system's voice sounded.
"Huh? Another dimension? Was Kato Dan possessed?" Ryun quickly asked.
"No. Kato Dan practices soul-type jutsu. These jutsu are inherently difficult to master, requiring vast mental energy. Perhaps at some specific moment, he achieved soul resonance with his counterpart in another dimension."
"Causing him to gain the memories of that alternate timeline," the system's voice was somewhat cold. It hadn't anticipated such a bug.
"So, he can't tell whether it's truth or a dream, right? And no one would believe his ramblings," Ryun asked.
"Correct. After all, not everyone practices soul techniques. However, the Ōtsutsuki clan beyond might be different," the system expressed some worry.
"Ding, mission issued: Eliminate Kato Dan, completely severing the connection between this dimension and the original storyline dimension! Reward: 990,000 points!" The system's voice was cold.
Ryun was stunned, inwardly astonished, completely unprepared for the system offering such an astonishingly generous reward!
"Understood," Ryun replied expressionlessly, his voice cold. At that moment, Black Zetsu and Kato Dan were still talking happily, completely unaware of the impending crisis.
In the blink of an eye, Uchiha Ryun instantly used the Flying Thunder God Technique. His figure moved like a ghost, appearing beside Datian Wudi's cold corpse in an instant.
Simultaneously, he unhesitatingly activated the Mangekyō pupil technique in his right eye: Soul Shattering Nine Hells! A powerful and strange force erupted from his eye.
In the next moment, with speed too fast to follow, Ryun reached out and grabbed Kato Dan accurately.
In an instant, Dan felt as if his soul was being violently torn out. Black Zetsu, greatly alarmed, saw it was Uchiha Ryun and was even more terrified.
Especially upon sensing the terrifying aura of the pupil technique, it knew things were bad. The moment Ryun touched Dan's body, it decisively abandoned Dan, quickly escaping into the ground.
However, it was already too late. Ryun's right hand tightened its pull, and Kato Dan's soul was easily extracted from his body.
Immediately after, Ryun mercilessly placed it into the Nine Hells hell within his pupil technique space. Instantly, raging flames ignited, relentlessly burning Dan's soul. Dan howled in agony, his screams echoing through the space.
"Uchiha Ryun! You bastard!" Dan roared in fury, struggling to break free while cursing.
But before he could even lift a foot to kick Ryun, his soul was completely extracted. His voice, filled with hatred and resentment, continued to reverberate endlessly in Ryun's mind.
