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

Yunyin Village

"Can we continue fighting?"

"Give up. The difference in skill is too great; you can't beat me..."

Inside the towering Susanoo, Shisui's voice, tinged with pity, drifted out.

He looked down at the disheveled and ragged Darui below, his tone as cold as the winter wind, devoid of any warmth.

At this moment, Darui's cheeks were covered in a mixture of sweat and dirt, his hair was disheveled, and his breathing became rapid and heavy.

Although he had used all his skills, he was still like an ant trying to shake a tree when facing Shisui's indestructible complete form, Susanoo.

Each attack felt like hitting a thick steel plate, leaving only shallow marks before being forced back by the terrifying power of Susanoo.

The enormous gap in strength weighed heavily on Darui's heart like a mountain, making him feel an unprecedented sense of despair and powerlessness.

His eyes began to glaze over, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips, as if he had already foreseen his defeat.

Beneath the sky above Kumogakure, the towering Susanoo stood like a god, its voice, emanating from Shisui, cold yet full of pity, a stark contrast to Darui's disheveled state.

He knew that with his current strength, it would indeed be difficult to shake Shisui's [Complete Susanoo], which was as stable as a mountain.

"An absolute gap in strength...?"

Darui muttered to himself, a hint of bitterness in his voice.

He did try, but each attack was like a stone sinking into the sea, having no effect whatsoever on Shisui's massive Susanoo.

However, just in this moment of despair, a glimmer of determination suddenly flashed in Darui's eyes.

He raised his head and looked up at the towering Susanoo, a surge of indomitable will rising within him.

"I will never give up easily!"

Darui shouted, his voice echoing across the empty battlefield, seemingly shaking even the sky.

Upon hearing this, Shisui was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that Darui could still unleash such a strong fighting spirit at this seemingly hopeless moment.

Darui took a deep breath and began to mobilize the remaining chakra in his body.

He knew he had to make some changes, or he would have no chance of winning the battle.

"Lightning Release: Black Spotted Blade!"

Darui let out a low roar, his hands rapidly forming hand seals. He seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, and the lightning chakra within him surged forth like a wild horse.

Immediately afterwards, a huge black thunder beast materialized behind him, and with a deafening roar and blinding lightning, it pounced on Shisui's towering Susanoo.

This was one of Darui's trump cards. He was going all out, hoping to use this attack to break through Shisui's solid defense and win a chance for his own survival.

Seeing this, Shisui merely narrowed his eyes slightly, his face remaining completely expressionless.

He casually raised his arm, and the spiral spear in his hand seemed to sense its master's will, instantly bursting forth with dazzling light as it met Darui's ferocious thunder beast.

"Ding!"

A crisp metallic clang echoed through the air. The Thunder Beast instantly disintegrated under the powerful impact of the Spiral Spear, turning into countless tiny fragments of lightning that bloomed brilliantly in the air like fireworks before quickly disappearing without a trace.

"How is that possible..."

Darui's legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees, his face filled with disbelief.

He had high hopes for this move, thinking it would at least cause some trouble for Shisui, but he didn't expect it to be so easily countered by his opponent.

At that moment, helplessness and despair surged like a tidal wave, filling his heart.

He was panting heavily, as if even breathing had become extremely difficult.

"You've done more than enough..."

Zhi Shui slowly opened his mouth, his voice calm and gentle.

He walked over to Darui, knelt down, and continued:

"I'll give you time to catch up, until the day you surpass me..."

After saying that, Shisui quickly formed a hand seal with one hand, and his eyes suddenly flashed with an eerie light.

A powerful and mysterious illusionary force instantly spread out, enveloping the entire battlefield.

Darui felt a sudden darkness engulf his vision, and then the entire world was plunged into endless darkness.

His consciousness began to blur, and his body went limp and collapsed to the ground uncontrollably.

Seeing that Darui had fallen into a spell-induced coma, Shisui sighed softly, then turned away and refused to look at him again.

His silhouette appeared lonely and forlorn, as if bearing endless sorrow and responsibility.

Currently, although there have been no major casualties in Kumogakure, the buildings and houses have been reduced to ruins by the devastation caused by Susanoo.

A flicker of pity crossed Shisui's face, but it vanished quickly...

Just as Shisui was about to turn around and leave, ending the battle once and for all, a dazzling golden light suddenly streaked across the sky!

This golden light, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, carried an indescribable power and suddenly exploded in front of Shisui!

The golden light shone brightly, illuminating the entire battlefield.

As the dazzling golden light gradually dissipated, a figure slowly emerged from the light, as if he had traveled from another world.

"This chakra aura... it feels so familiar!"

Shisui's heart skipped a beat. He sensed that the chakra emanating from that person was remarkably similar to a figure from his memory.

He tried hard to open his eyes to see the person's face clearly, but the golden light was still a bit too bright, making his eyes feel sore and unable to open them immediately.

Finally, as the light completely dissipated, the person slowly appeared in front of Zhishui.

He was tall and well-proportioned, wearing a black robe with the Uchiha clan crest embroidered on the lapel.

The wide sleeves of his robe fluttered gently with his movements, giving him an ethereal and mysterious air.

This person is none other than Uchiha Itachi!

He traveled here from another time and space, summoned by Cheng Yun!

"Yes……"

"Is the water stopped?"

Itachi's voice carried a hint of uncertainty and emotion, as if he had traveled through countless years and finally met his long-lost friend again.

"I never imagined that we would meet again in such a setting..."

Itachi spoke softly, his words filled with endless sighs.

Shisui frowned, his gaze fixed on Itachi, and asked in confusion:

"Who are you? Do we know each other?"

Itachi gently shook his head, his gaze complex.

He certainly knew Shisui, but at this moment, he was a traveler who had traveled through time and space, an existence that should not exist in this era.

You don't need to know who I am.

Itachi said in a low voice, a hint of helplessness in his tone:

"I'm here for reasons I can't tell you."

Upon hearing this, Shisui's eyes flashed with confusion, but he also understood that the person in front of him clearly had an unusual identity and purpose.

Itachi took a deep breath and continued:

"As someone who has traveled through time, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble for my own timeline, I can only try to minimize the impact of my existence."

"In other words, I will try my best not to cause too much of a commotion in this space-time."

After saying that, Itachi's gaze fell on Shisui again, as if he wanted to imprint the other's image deep in his heart.

Without hesitation, he immediately followed suit.

Under the influence of Cheng Yun's [Power of Time and Space], he can unleash his abilities to his heart's content without having to worry about any backlash!

"Susanoo!"

With a deep and powerful roar from Itachi, a massive red Susanoo suddenly rose from the ground, standing like a towering mountain before Shisui.

Shisui stared in astonishment at the sudden appearance of the red giant, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

He never expected that at this critical moment, someone would be able to summon such a powerful and mysterious being.

"Who...are you?"

Shisui spoke again, his voice carrying a hint of barely concealed wariness and doubt.

He was well aware of the power of Susanoo and understood that any ninja capable of summoning such a being was no ordinary person.

Itachi looked at Shisui with a faint smile on his lips, but did not answer his question directly.

He slowly raised his hand, and the red Susanoo moved accordingly, its huge arm waving gently, as if it were cooperating with Itachi in some tacit and mysterious way.

Immediately afterwards, Itachi swung his hand sharply, and the red Susanoo rushed forward, colliding with Shisui's green Susanoo.

Two powerful forces intertwined and collided in the air, producing a deafening roar.

The entire Hidden Cloud Village seemed to tremble at this moment, and the sky was also stained with strange colors by the collision of the two forces.

Seeing this, Shi Shui dared not be careless.

He quickly adjusted his stance and engaged in a fierce battle with Itachi.

The two fought fiercely in the air, exchanging blows with equal intensity. Each collision was accompanied by a powerful energy surge, distorting the surrounding space.

"Your power feels very familiar..."

"But I just can't remember..."

"What exactly is your purpose?!"

Shisui continued speaking, his eyes fixed on Itachi, trying to glean more useful information from his micro-expressions.

However, Itachi merely shook his head slightly without responding. After a long while, he slowly spoke:

"I was just doing this on someone else's behalf..."
