After tying Uchiha Shi to the cross, the High Priest of the Cult of the Evil Deity quickly turned around and walked to the edge of the Blood Pool, beginning to form hand seals.
"God's Bloodshed, what's that?" Uchiha Shi was taken aback, not understanding.
Fugaku, hanging on a rack nearby, frowned and spoke,
"I know. This is the highest-level ritual of the Evil God Sect, where 100 girls and 1,000 living people are tortured to generate pain, which is then offered to the evil god as a sacrifice."
"Intense pain is exchanged for the evil god's power."
Uchiha Shi frowned and turned his head to look around.
On the crosses nearby, the faces of the people, already tortured to the point of losing their vitality, were in a state of life and death.
"This doesn't make sense. You said the pain is offered to the evil god, but these people look completely numb. How can they still produce any pain?"
Uchiha Shi looked puzzled, raising an eyebrow,
"So, the pain in your Evil God Sect can be stored?"
"First, torture, then empower. What kind of advanced technology is this?"
"Hey, that's enough! I'm not a member of the Evil God Sect," Fugaku pouted in dissatisfaction.
Seeing the hellish scene beside him, the shocking images made him fall silent.
If the peace of the Land of Hot Springs required such a price, then what was the difference between those who carried out such acts and the great-nation ninjas who ravaged the Land of Hot Springs?
Fugaku suddenly lifted his head and frowned, explaining to Uchiha Shi,
"However, in the Evil God Sect's sacrifice ritual, the evil god's pleasure and subsequent power can only be obtained after the pain is generated."
Uchiha Shi looked at Fugaku, his eyes clearly saying, "You said you didn't understand? You seem to know a lot."
"What's with that look! I read it in a book!" Fugaku shouted in dissatisfaction.
"What kind of book is that? The Evil God Sect's initiation manual describes such things in detail?" Uchiha Shi shook his head, not knowing how to criticize, and continued,
"But if what you say is true, it can only mean one thing—"
Uchiha Shi's tone grew serious,
"A sacrifice has already taken place here."
"The next one is about to begin."
The two looked at each other, their eyes fixed on the silent, pain-wracked figures on the crosses around them, and fell silent.
Their hearts were chilled.
"Another sacrifice." Fugaku lifted his head, frowning hard, and looked around. Apart from the two of them and the large High Priest of the Cult of the Evil Deity, there were no other living beings that could make a sound.
Bound to the cross, Uchiha Shi refined his chakra while turning his head to look at Fugaku, unable to resist asking,
"Fugaku, do you scream very loudly when you're in pain?"
"What are you talking about? What kind of question is that?" Fugaku glared, furious.
"Look around."
Uchiha Shi grinned, letting out a dry laugh, "We're the only ones left. We're the sacrifices."
"But I'm a true ninja!"
"A ninja who won't cry even if a large blade is stabbed into his stomach, a man who can endure hellish pain!"
"So, the pain needed for the sacrifice to the evil god will likely come from you."
Uchiha Shi's tone grew serious, his eyes narrowing as he looked at the High Priest of the Cult of the Evil Deity who was initiating the ritual, and asked,
"Are you prepared for it?"
"What do you mean?" Fugaku was taken aback, not understanding Uchiha Shi's meaning.
Uchiha Shi shook his head, his gaze growing colder, and didn't say anything more. He focused even harder on refining chakra in his hollow body, even if it was just a thread.
If his guess was correct, it would be too cruel for Fugaku.
A thousand-person sacrifice had already taken place, and the next ritual would surely offer even greater and more intense pain to the evil god to please it.
Uchiha Shi had been wondering what kind of torture could turn the seemingly normal Fugaku into the future madman.
Now, as the pieces of the puzzle came together, the truth of the evil god's ritual gradually revealed itself.
This would be a sacrifice that would push the terror and pain of the participants beyond the limits of death!
God's Bloodshed, beyond death!
A ritual to gain true immortality!
Uchiha Shi's only thought now was to end this tragedy!
To rewrite the future!

In the castle reduced to ruins.
An old man in a dark blue robe landed, leaning on a cane, his gaze sweeping over the devastated battlefield.
He frowned, sighing with a hint of disappointment.
Beside him, White Zetsu turned his body, splitting off a spore clone that burrowed into the ground to observe the situation in the cave.
"Madara-sama, the boy is still alive. He's in the underground cave. Should we continue to watch?"
Uchiha Madara shook his head, saying calmly,
"No, that's not necessary."
"I was puzzled earlier, but now I'm certain."
"This boy has the will to die. He fights with everything he has just for a simple death."
"He has seen the truth of the world and understood the unevenness of the cycle of rebirth."
White Zetsu asked curiously, "Isn't that better?"
"Impressive, to have the same mindset as Madara-sama at such a young age."
Uchiha Madara shook his head, somewhat disappointed,
"No, quite the opposite."
"To see the truth of the world at the age when one should still believe in fairy tales, yet without the power to break the chains of fate."
"His only path is to escape."
"Until the day he can no longer escape."
Uchiha Madara frowned, sensing such intense emotional fluctuations, he was sure this boy had the potential to awaken the Forbidden Eye.
If that day comes, the boy will surely gain those eyes.
Conversely, if he doesn't reach that day, he will die cleanly.
If he were to control everything,
it would mean forcing a person who wants to die to live on,
which would be too troublesome.
He didn't have much time left.
"Sometimes, being too smart is not a good thing."
Uchiha Madara shook his head and walked into the darkness.
From a distance, he threw a final remark,
"Zetsu, plant the Spore Technique on this boy. Give him chakra if necessary."
White Zetsu stood there, bewildered.
What does Madara-sama mean by this?

At the entrance to the Evil God Sect's headquarters cave.
Seiichirō stood at the door,
facing a scene of destruction as if a tornado had ravaged a parking lot.
Huge tracks of destruction, shattered walls, and vanished towers.
And before him, dozens of highly alert members of the Evil God Sect.
Seiichirō, carrying a large scroll, clenched his teeth, his eyes wide with anger, his jaw and body trembling violently.
"It's okay, it's okay, I can do it."
"I have the Sharingan. To these eyes, they are nothing but scum!"
He gave himself a fierce pep talk and took a difficult step forward.
One step, two steps, three steps... countless steps!
Until he charged!
The wind whipped his hair, his timid eyes turning fierce.
Forming hand seals, the Sharingan spun!
"Kill him! Cover with ninjutsu!" The elite members of the Evil God Sect shouted as they charged forward.
Facing the overwhelming attack,
Seiichirō took a large step forward, eyes blazing,
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
I overestimated myself again. I still owe 2.5K words. Trust me, I will make it up.
