The chaos in Konohagakure lasted until dawn the next day before it was slightly suppressed.
Although Uchiha Takeshi had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, his foundation and strength were mediocre. The Susanoo he barely managed to summon was merely a skeleton soldier, and it was easily suppressed by Uchiha Fugaku.
Of course, Uchiha Fugaku also awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan because of this. Fortunately, the entire Ninja World was in chaos, and Konoha's higher-ups had no time to worry about the Uchiha.
It wasn't just the Uchiha; the Hyuga Clan, Root, and similar places also experienced great chaos. The Hyuga Clan had the Caged Bird system, and the members of Root were all emotionless killing machines. In reality, these people could be said to be the most dissatisfied group.
As a result, after experiencing five years of happy life, many people were stimulated by the contrast and went berserk. Several Root Ninja simply launched suicide attacks within Root, and some Hyuga Ninja even slit their own throats...
Regardless, Konoha's higher-ups were now overwhelmed. Because everyone had been affected, even Ninja like the Anbu who maintained order had many inner knots, and many Anbu Ninja were addicted to it, unable to extricate themselves—even if they could get out, it wouldn't be something that could be achieved in a short time.
Under these circumstances, relying on the Anbu and the Uchiha Police Force, which were the hardest-hit areas, to maintain order in Konohagakure was naturally very difficult.
In fact, the number of Ninja in Konohagakure who went crazy and attacked randomly wasn't too high, totaling only thirty or fifty at most. However, the number of self-closing Ninja who became disheartened and gave up on themselves because of such a beautiful dream accounted for nearly half. The remaining half were also shaken and distracted. Under such circumstances, the speed of calming the chaos was naturally slowed down significantly.
"Good grief, I didn't expect the Infinite Tsukuyomi to have such problems!"
Looking at Konohagakure, where people were sparse, buildings were dilapidated, and some places were still emitting smoke, Vegapunk couldn't help but sigh.
He had slightly disguised himself and Hancock, and was currently strolling through Konohagakure, accompanied by Uchiha Obito in casual clothes and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, who had dyed her hair and was wearing colored contacts.
Logically speaking, although they had covered up their features, they were still out of place in many ways. Theoretically, let alone strolling on the main street of Konohagakure, just walking into the village, they would probably have been invited for tea by Anbu Ninja and the Police Force.
However, the four of them had almost circled the entire Konohagakure by now without encountering any questioning. Most of the Ninja they occasionally saw were distracted or disheartened. Even if some noticed that they were a bit strange, they just glanced at them and ignored them.
The Infinite Tsukuyomi had lasted for about three hours, but Konohagakure's development had regressed by about three or four years... Material losses were a minor issue; the key was the psychological shadow, which would likely accompany an entire generation.
If it weren't for the fact that the Infinite Tsukuyomi treated all Ninja villages equally, the situation in other villages might be even worse than Konohagakure's. I'm afraid a Ninja World War would have broken out by now!
Hancock, standing beside Vegapunk, held his arm. There was no arrogance on her face as usual; instead, she said with empathy:
"Indeed, to give people light and hope, only to destroy it again—after experiencing such a thing, even the strongest person would collapse, right!"
"Even for me, if my meeting with you, my darling, were just a dream, then when I woke up, I wouldn't have the courage to go on living."
Having once been a slave to the Celestial Dragons, Hancock naturally had a tragic past. In her mind, if not for Vegapunk, she would still be a slave in the hands of the Celestial Dragons. If that were really the case, she would rather end her own life immediately.
As for Uchiha Obito standing on the side, he was enveloped in a low-pressure atmosphere, perfectly blending into the current atmosphere of Konohagakure.
To some extent, the assumption Uchiha Obito told little Obito was his current reality, so he was the one who truly understood this pain the most.
