A Journey Through the Universes

– What the hell! Kuro Zetsu exclaimed when Tetsuya's gaze clouded and became empty – What did you do? "what's going on?" he asked, actually knowing exactly what was going on. Kuro wanted to stall for time.

– The highest genjutsu of the Uchiha clan. Madara replied in a matter–of–fact tone, as if he was a sensei at a lecture - Usually the price for the technique is the loss of sharingan, but thanks to Hashirama's cells and rinnegan, this can be avoided. I need to use this technique ten times to go blind in one eye and then it will recover pretty quickly soon, but that's all the lyrics. Now Uzumaki Tetsuya is reliving our battle again and again, and so it will be until he comes to terms and accepts his new fate. –

– What fate? – Kuro backed away from Uchiha

"Oh~oh, Tetsuya will be trapped in time until he wholeheartedly wants to destroy you. So even if you run away now, your former ally will still be like a hound furiously looking for you to destroy, thereby continuing my work. –

– What a nuisance. - Zetsu grinned tightly, slowly retreating

Tetsuya suddenly woke up. Kuro and Madara could tell by the quickened look in their eyes.

–Ha-ha! Madara laughed from the bottom of his heart – And you quickly accepted that you had to destroy your ally. –

Kuro Zetsu's face was unsightly distorted – "Uzumaki, you are such a pig! How could you betray me and Kaguya so quickly!" –

But suddenly, for Uchiha and Zetsu, Tetsuya's right eye was replaced by the eternal mangekyo sharingan – IZANAMI! –

It was Madara's turn to experience the highest genjutsu of the Uchiha clan. The old man froze and his eyes lost "focus", became "empty".

Kuro Zetsu retreated cautiously, but the fact that Tetsuya attacked Madara does not mean that he is not going to destroy him himself.

Uzumaki wiped the sweat from his forehead – Don't be afraid, I broke the illusion, and didn't succumb to it. –

– It is impossible to get out of this illusion and it is impossible to break it. You either accept your new destiny, or you stay in genjutsu forever. –

And it's true. It is impossible to get out of the illusion, since it affects all the senses and is also constantly developing.

No matter how hard you try to break out of izanami, it won't let you do it. The illusion literally has its own mind, which is constantly developing countermeasures against you and your encroachments towards "freedom".

Tetsuya had anticipated Madara's actions with his ability, but still allowed Uchiha to cast an illusion. That's because he also saw that he could break out of the illusion with his other ability.

He is probably the only person who can escape from izanami and all thanks to the Imperial Zone. The illusion simply cannot affect this ability in any way, which eventually leads to a huge gap in the technique, which one Uzumaki was happy to use.

And yet, why would he expose himself to izanami? Everything is simple here. He wanted to copy this technique in order to use it to bring Madara back to the bright side.

Izanami is now forcing Uchiha to come to terms with the fact that he has been led by the nose all his life as the last child and accept fate.

Ideally, the technique should "restore" the personality of Madara from the fragments, returning the Uchiha to sanity and a sober mind.

Personal sympathy, the task and possible support in the plan, led Tetsuya to this choice, and he did not regret a bit. Mainly because his head has already been visited by ideas on how to cope with the consequences of technology.

Tetsuya turned to face Kuro and he immediately saw that Uzumaki's right eye had lost all color, becoming completely white and faded – But I managed to escape. Don't you know that I'm a pretty special person? And there's no point in you backing away like that, anyway, if I want to, I'll instantly destroy it. –

– It makes sense. – the humanoid exhaled noisily, despite the fact that he wasn't breathing at all – Your eye… –

- Yes. I had to pay full price for the technique to apply izanami on Madara. –

Tetsuya's right eye turned white, which indicated that he had to pay the full price of the technique, unlike Madara. All because Madara was more experienced in genjutsu, had a strong resistance to illusions, and Tetsuya had not yet mastered the dojutsu, which still did not fully belong to him. And the Hagoromo chakra is no joke.

– Why!? – Kuro exploded, despite the fact that he was recently afraid of reprisals from Uzumaki over himself – Why did you sacrifice your eye?! What the hell, Tetsuya!? I know your eye will recover thanks to outrageous vitality, but it will still take time! You could have just killed that idiot and that's it!? What's all this about?! –

Uzumaki looked in surprise at Kuro Zetsu, who had lost his temper. For the first time, he saw this eternally sarcastic and pragmatic creature lose his temper.

But Zetsu seems to be just warming up....

"Why the hell did you take so long with him anyway!? It was enough to open the seventh... no, the sixth gate and Uchiha would just be instantly killed! But no, we will fight and fight in unfavorable conditions for ourselves, and in the end we will sacrifice the eye, which is so important in our plan! –

There was silence…

Tetsuya, with a small and lazy smile, looked at the grinding teeth of Zetsu, which infuriated the humanoid even more.

When Kuro wanted to burst out again, Tetsuya spoke, pointing at Uchiha – Actually, we have an additional two rinnegans, if you haven't noticed. - then he put his hands in his pockets – But you're right, my black friend, since I'm not going to kill Madara and I don't even think about taking his eyes. –

The humanoid was ready to explode from the bubbling energy of the disturbance inside him.

– I'll explain. Madara will not be a bad help in our plan. Uchiha will help us in uniting the world. Izanami is preparing him for this right now. –

– Nonsense! It can't be just because of that! You already have a chance to unite the world with the help of force! We don't need this dying old man at all! –

Tetsuya was slightly surprised – Oh! Thanks for reminding me, I forgot that this asshole was going to die. –

Uzumaki, under the displeased gaze of Zetsu, approached Madara and put his hand on the old man's chest.

The palm shone green from the honey chakra and Uchiha's wounds instantly healed.

– Well, that's it. In this state, without feeding from the Hashirama clone, he will live for another month, and then I will make him young again, if of course everything goes as it should. –

All this time Kuro was drilling Tetsuya's back with his gaze and stomping his foot irritably – Tetsuya, you must have had other reasons… –

Uzumaki grinned broadly – A practical joke. –

- what? –

– I thought it would be fun to make Madara, Hokage. –

Kuro grabbed his head – Are you kidding…–

– Just imagine. With the help of the technique of unholy resurrection, I call the creator of the technique itself, Tobirama Senju, my uncle, into the world of the living... and just imagine what his expression will be when he sees Madara on the post of Hokage? –

–You're... you're crazy. Kuro shook his head in confusion.

– Of course! Uzumaki smiled proudly – No one else would have agreed to revive the goddess, nicknamed the demon. –

Zetsu shook his head – How long should we wait? –

- hm. Time flows much faster inside the illusion. For me, several hours have passed, in a few real seconds, but it's worth considering that I broke the illusion, and Madara has to accept his fate. This Uchiha will definitely fight for quite a long time. Let's wait a few hours, and then we'll see. –

– We'll wait, but not here. The battle attracted quite a lot of attention. A bunch of Shinobi from various villages are watching this place. –

Closing his eyes, Tetsuya felt the Shinobi cautiously approach from all sides to inspect the quieted battlefield – You're right, let's change the situation. –

With a snap of his fingers, Madara, Zetsu and Tetsuya disappeared.

Tetsui's Hideout

Suddenly, three guests visited the silent shelter

"When... when did you manage to put hiraishin's seal on me?" Kuro said in surprise

– When I was protecting myself and you from an explosion with the help of Susanoo. – Uzumaki said, placing Madara on the floor – Well, here we can safely pass the time, and also do a couple of things… –

Taking a couple of cones, Tetsuya approached Madara and carefully filled one with blood and the other with flesh.

Kuro Zetsu watched all these movements with great interest.

Tetsuya then went to one of the seals on the floor and began to modernize and change this fuin. Relatively recently, Tetsuya used this seal to inoculate himself with Uchiha genes, today he will need this seal again to get rid of the negative consequences of one technique. Well, at the same time, upgrade the body and genome again with the help of Madara's flesh and blood.

– Done. Tetsuya said with a twinkle in his eyes, looking at the seal, "Let's start. –

Four clones have separated from Tetsuya's body, which will be able to protect him if Uchiha wakes up or something goes wrong in Zetsu's head.

Tetsuya sat down in the center of the seal and injected his chakra into it.

The seal lit up with a scarlet light and moved in places like one big mechanism.

Madara's flesh and blood rose into the air and slowly turned into "meat smoke", which quickly headed towards Tetsuya and began to soak into the pores on his body.

Time passed.

An hour. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven.

Uzumaki's hair has grown to the waist. The nails have also grown to a significant size.

Externally, there were no special transformations, but "inside" there were enough of them.

All this time, Zetsu was mesmerized by Tetsui's transformation, and Tetsui, in turn, was looking at a bunch of notifications.

───────•••───────

Tetsuya exhaled and opened his eyes. - "Hmm. How could I forget about this seal. If I went to Madara already with an assimilated rinnegan, then the battle would have been much easier." –

– Recovered... – Zetsu said quietly and shocked - No... no, you completely subdued the eyes. –

Ignoring Kuro, Tetsuya mentally said, "Statistics" –

– "What a strong leap in characteristics and talents… it was worth it. Almost everyone has risen in rank. Yoton disappeared, but Onmyeton appeared, which is logical. Rinnegan now has a great talent, instead of a small one, then it will probably have to raise the rank of talent with the help of training." –
