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

Sunagakure Village

At this moment, Sunagakure Village was in ruins after being attacked by Sasori.

Although the situation was slightly better than that of Kirigakure, Sunagakure still suffered considerable damage under Sasori's relentless attacks, with smoke and the atmosphere of war permeating the area.

Granny Chiyo was now at her last gasp. She stood amidst the ruins, her body trembling slightly, her face filled with exhaustion and sorrow.

She looked at the scorpion before her, her once proud grandson, now reduced to this state, and her heart was filled with pain and bewilderment.

"scorpion……"

Granny Chiyo spoke tremulously, her voice hoarse and low, as if she might breathe her last at any moment:

"Are you really going to...destroy...this place that was once your homeland?"

Scorpion's face was expressionless; his eyes were cold and empty, as if he had lost all emotion.

He looked at his former grandmother, the one who had given him endless love and warmth, but now could only stand on the opposite side, and perhaps felt a complex emotion that was hard to describe.

However, he did not answer Granny Chiyo's question.

His puppets, enhanced by Fengtian's [Power of Cause and Effect], became indestructible, easily destroying the [Chikamatsu Ten Guards] meticulously prepared by Granny Chiyo.

Now, all he wants to do is continue his mission: to completely destroy the homeland that once gave him memories.

"This dirty world, devoid of any artistic value, is truly disgusting..."

Scorpion's voice was filled with disgust and disdain; he looked at the world as if it were a repulsive stain.

"To start over from scratch, sacrifices are necessary..."

Scorpion continued coldly, his eyes showing no hesitation or pity.

Upon hearing this, Granny Chiyo's expression changed drastically, and she said in a trembling voice:

"Scorpion, don't you know the consequences of doing this?"

"You will become the enemy of the entire Sand Village, and even the entire ninja world!"

Her voice was filled with worry and heartache; she couldn't bear to watch her grandson walk towards destruction.

However, Scorpion merely curled a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with determination and resolve.

He seemed to have made up his mind to change the world in his own way, no matter the cost.

"So what?"

Scorpion countered with:

"I don't care anymore..."

His voice was filled with indifference and ruthlessness, as if he had abandoned all constraints and attachments.

"This world, this Sand Village, is no longer what I remember..."

Scorpion continued, his eyes flashing with memories and pain:

"They've become so ugly, so hypocritical, I must change them in my own way."

"But, Scorpion, is it really worth it?"

Granny Chiyo's voice carried a hint of pleading:

"You used to be such a kind and talented child, why did you become like this?"

Scorpion's gaze dimmed slightly, but then hardened again:

"Mother-in-law, you don't understand..."

"Art requires sacrifice..."

"Only by tearing everything down and starting over can we create truly perfect art!"

"And in this process, some sacrifices are inevitable."

"But the villagers of Sunagakure are innocent! What did they do wrong?"

Grandma Chiyo shouted at the top of her lungs.

Scorpion was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"They did nothing wrong, but that's just how cruel the world is..."

"Sometimes, to achieve a greater goal, one must sacrifice some personal interests..."

"And Sunagakure is the stepping stone for me to achieve my artistic goals."

Grandma Chiyo trembled with anger upon hearing this. Looking at Sasori's cold and resolute eyes, she knew she could no longer persuade him.

So she gritted her teeth, preparing to fight the scorpion to the death with her last bit of strength.

But Scorpion merely flicked his fingers slightly, as if playing a deathly symphony.

The next moment, a puppet he controlled, wielding a sharp blade, slammed down heavily towards Granny Chiyo like lightning!

The puppet was so powerful and fast that no one had time to react.

Granny Chiyo, who was already extremely weak, was powerless to resist this sudden attack.

She felt an immense force surge through her, and the puppet slammed her to the ground, causing her to cough up blood and her breath to become barely perceptible.

Her eyes were filled with resentment and despair as she looked at Scorpion's cold and ruthless face, her heart filled with endless sorrow.

"Chiyo-sama!"

The anxious shouts of Sunagakure ninjas could be heard from afar. They rushed over, but could only watch helplessly as this scene unfolded.

Their hearts were filled with anger and helplessness, yet they were powerless to change this cruel reality.

Scorpion looked at Granny Chiyo lying on the ground, a cold smile playing on his lips. His voice was icy and ruthless:

"Grandma, you're getting old..."

"So, please get some rest..."

His words were as cold as ice, sending chills down one's spine.

As Scorpion's cold words fell, several puppets he controlled instantly appeared beside Granny Chiyo.

They held massive blades high, their surfaces gleaming with a chilling light, as if they were about to annihilate everything in their path.

Under Scorpion's control, these puppets did not hesitate at all and slashed fiercely at the fallen Granny Chiyo!

However, at this critical moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly shot out from afar, and with unstoppable force, it exploded violently in front of the scorpion!

The enormous explosion was deafening, and dust and debris flew everywhere.

"Who goes there?!"

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Scorpion roared in anger, his face filled with astonishment and fury.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly took several steps back, and the giant blade that was about to strike Granny Chiyo stopped abruptly in mid-air, as if blocked by an invisible force.

Even after the golden light landed, it continued to shimmer with dazzling brilliance, as blinding as the rising sun.

Immediately, everyone covered their eyes with their arms to avoid being harmed by the intense light.

Just then, a figure slowly emerged from the dazzling light.

As the light gradually dimmed, everyone's vision became clearer.

Soon, a female ninja with flowing pink hair, dressed in Konoha ninja attire, appeared before everyone!

This person is none other than Sakura Haruno, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha who traveled through time!

"Grandma Chiyo..."

The moment Sakura saw Granny Chiyo lying on the ground, a strong sense of crisis welled up in her heart.

She quickly reached the other woman's side, gently placed her hands on Granny Chiyo's shoulders, and her chakra flowed into her body like warm spring water, beginning to heal her.

Scorpion felt a surge of displeasure when he saw that Sakura dared to ignore his presence.

He snorted coldly, and with a slight twitch of his finger, a puppet wielding a giant blade slashed fiercely at the two of them.

The giant blade drew a sharp trajectory in the air, accompanied by a whistling sound, as if it were about to cut everything in two.

However, Sakura merely glanced at the puppet indifferently, then slightly raised her hand.

Her palm seemed to contain boundless power, steadily catching the giant blade!

With a loud "crack," the once indestructible giant blade snapped in her hand, breaking along with the puppet!

"Cheng Yun..."

"Thank you…."

"This time, I will have no regrets..."
