Naruto: Forced to activate Infinite Tsukuyomi in order to return home

The dust settled on the ruins of Konoha Village, leaving only deathly silence.

The once prosperous village is now nothing but ruins and dilapidated remains.

The setting sun cast its last rays upon the ruins, adding a touch of desolation and tragedy to the battlefield.

Fengtian stood in the center of the ruins, his figure appearing exceptionally lonely and powerful in the glow of the setting sun.

A few drops of sweat trickled down his forehead, and the kaleidoscope pattern on his left eye finally faded away after an unprecedented drain on his energy.

In that battle, Fengtian used his most powerful [Power of Cause and Effect] to fight against many strong people from Konoha Village and even the entire ninja world all by himself.

Using the unique abilities of his Mangekyou Sharingan, he constructed a vast and complex genjutsu world, drawing all the powerful figures, including the Five Kage, into it.

In this magical world, everyone is given a different fate and role; they either kill each other or are trapped in endless cycles of confusion.

Of course, not everyone fell into the illusion. There was one person whom Fengtian took special care of and did not cast an illusion on.

This person is Shimura Danzo!

At this moment, Danzo looked around in despair. Whether it was Hiruzen Sarutobi or Hanzo of the Salamander, who was hailed as a demigod, they were all trapped in the illusion and unable to move.

Currently, apart from him and Fengtian, no one else remains conscious.

But at this moment, Fengtian walked towards him step by step, a mocking smile on his lips:

"Shimura Danzo, the leader of Konoha's Root organization, a man who always lurks in the shadows..."

"Today, we finally have the opportunity to talk face to face."

Fengtian's lips curled into a mocking smile, as if he were laughing at Danzo's long-standing covert operations, which ultimately could not escape his grasp.

Danzo clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, but he remained calm despite the turmoil within him.

He understood that any panic at this moment could hasten his defeat.

"Fengtian, what do you want to know?"

Danzo's voice was hoarse but firm; he was trying to maintain his last shred of dignity in this unequal power struggle.

Fengtian's eyes sharpened, and he stared intently at Danzo, as if trying to see through his soul.

"Where is Jiraiya, and where are the remaining tailed beasts hidden?"

"This information shouldn't be difficult for you to provide, right?"

Danzo's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

He knew that if this information were leaked, not only Konoha, but the entire ninja world would be plunged into an even greater crisis.

However, how many choices does he have when facing a powerful figure like Fengtian?

Danzo's voice was low and hoarse, like an ancient millstone slowly turning, revealing a reality he didn't want to confront:

"The location where the Tailed Beasts and Jiraiya are hiding is not something I can control."

Upon hearing this, Fengtian's brows furrowed involuntarily, and his eyes revealed obvious displeasure.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force.

"Stop trying to fob me off with these vague and nonsensical words!"

"Danzo!"

Fengtian's voice rose a few decibels, his tone leaving no room for argument:

"Given your prominent position in Konoha, there's no way you could be completely unaware!"

As he spoke, Fengtian took a step forward, closing in on Danzo, his gaze piercing:

"Now, it's time to make your choice."

Danzo remained silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons repeatedly on the scales in his heart.

Finally, he slowly opened his mouth, his voice carrying a hint of compromise:

"I can tell you where the Tailed Beasts are hiding, but you must promise me that you will spare the rest of Konoha."

Fengtian smiled faintly, seemingly having anticipated Danzo's compromise and showing no surprise whatsoever.

"This is a deal..."

He said softly.

"Danzo..."

Fengtian spoke again, his tone carrying a complex meaning.

"I will seriously consider your proposal, but only if the information you provide is of good value."

Fengtian's eyes sharpened.

Upon hearing this, Danzo fell silent once again, as if time had frozen at that moment.

A moment later, an indescribable look of struggle and conflict flashed across his face.

He slowly stood up, his movements heavy, and gently patted the dust off his body, as if trying to sweep away the burden in his heart as well.

Finally, he slowly uttered a few words:

"At this point, it seems I have no other choice but to believe you..."

"Come closer..."

Danzo lowered his voice even further, almost speaking in a breath:

"I don't want to say that out loud..."

Upon hearing this, Fengtian's lips curled into a smile. He walked steadily toward Danzo, each step exuding composure.

"You certainly have a lot of decisiveness..."

Fengtian said softly, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible admiration.

"You made a wise choice..."

He continued, a sly glint in his eyes.

In Fengtian's mind, it would be the best thing if he could learn the whereabouts of the Tailed Beasts directly from Danzo.

This can save a lot of unnecessary trouble and risks.

Originally, he secretly planned to use Shisui's "Kotoamatsukami" to turn Danzo against him in order to achieve his own goals.

But now it seems that the plan is no longer necessary.

A hint of smugness flashed in Fengtian's eyes, as if everything was under his control.

As Fengtian drew ever closer, a trace of reminiscence involuntarily flashed deep in Danzo's eyes.

Those fragments of memories about Konoha flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, each image carrying memories of the past.

Just as Fengtian was a few steps away from Danzo, Danzo suddenly yanked his shirt, and a strange [Four Symbols Pattern] appeared on his chest.

The pattern seemed to contain some ancient and mysterious power, radiating a faint glow.

"【Four Symbols Seal】!"

Danzo let out a low growl, his voice filled with an undeniable resolve.

As he finished speaking, the four symbols seemed to come alive, rapidly wriggling and changing.

Immediately afterwards, countless streams of black water gushed out like surging ink, instantly enveloping Danzo and Fengtian in a pitch-black space.

The black water carried a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine, as if it could devour everything.

Fengtian's expression changed slightly; he hadn't expected Danzo to have such methods.

The Four Symbols Seal is an S-rank ninjutsu that can absorb all surrounding objects and enemies into the user's body and seal them.

Danzo did this because he intended to forcibly seal Fengtian at the cost of his own sacrifice!

"What do you want to do?"

Fengtian reacted quickly, trying to break free of the seal, but the power of the Four Symbols Seal was beyond his imagination, rendering him unable to move for a short period of time.

A bitter smile appeared on Danzo's face, and his body began to tremble from the power of the seal:

"Fengtian, do you think I would easily tell you the whereabouts of the Tailed Beasts?"

"hehe…."

"The safety of Konoha is paramount!"

"My whole life has been a battle for the secrets of Konoha. Even if I die, I will protect the secrets of this land."

Danzo's voice grew weaker and weaker, but every word revealed his unwavering conviction.

Fengtian glared angrily. He felt the power of the seal gradually eroding his own, while Danzo's aura grew weaker and weaker, clearly activating the seal at the cost of his life.

"Danzo, you're courting death!"

Fengtian roared, trying with all his might to break free of the seal, but all his efforts were in vain.

At this moment, without the power of cause and effect, it would be extremely difficult for Fengtian to break through the Four Symbols Seal!

Just then, the Four Symbols Seal completed its solemn and mysterious final ritual.

The "ink" seemed to come alive, quickly coalescing into a huge black sphere that tightly enveloped Danzo and Fengtian.

The inside of the black sphere was pitch black, as if it had swallowed all light and sound.

Immediately afterwards, an unprecedentedly powerful suction force suddenly erupted from the seal, attempting to suck Fengtian entirely into Danzo's body like a black hole.

Fengtian struggled desperately, but the force was too strong for him to resist.

At this critical moment of life and death, a look of relief flashed across Danzo's face.

He slightly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the pitch-black sphere, as if he could see the distant past and future.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips, and then he said softly:

"Second Generation Lord, today I truly understand what the Will of Fire is... But I have no face to face you in that world..."

As these words, filled with emotion and regret, slowly fell to the ground, a sudden flash of light appeared within the black sphere, followed by a return to calm.

Danzo Shimura, the Root of Konoha's Anbu, died in battle!
