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

"What?!"

Kakuzu stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

He couldn't believe that his overloaded attack, which he had unleashed at the cost of destroying four hearts, had been so easily blocked by Cheng Yun's [Stop the War].

That was his last, all-out attack!

However, what Kakuzu didn't know was just how abnormal and powerful the [power of time and space] that Cheng Yun possessed was.

This power can reverse any form of energy attack, restoring it to its original state, no matter how powerful it may be.

Therefore, even if Kakuzu's attack was magnified several times, it still could not break through Cheng Yun's golden shield formed by [Zhi Ge].

This is the terrifying aspect of [Stop the War]; it seems to be able to control time, rendering all attacks ineffective.

In the entire Naruto world, the only thing capable of dealing with this kind of [space-time power] is probably the [causal power] wielded by Fengtian, who is equally mysterious and full of enigmatic secrets.

These two forces, one controlling time and the other controlling cause and effect, are both beings that transcend all things.

"This is so troublesome..."

Cheng Yun frowned slightly, her tone revealing obvious displeasure.

She never expected that dealing with Sasori and Kakuzu, these two "minor characters," would force her to use [Stop the War].

She slowly raised her hand, palm up, as if the rhythm of the entire battlefield was in her hands.

At that moment, she seemed to become the master of this world, with everything under her control.

Immediately afterwards, countless golden threads formed from the power of time and space began to dance in the air, as agile as serpents and as dense as spider webs.

These golden threads rapidly spread towards Sasori and Kakuzu, their speed astonishing.

"Both of you carry the aura of Fengtian's [Power of Cause and Effect]..."

Cheng Yun's voice was cold and firm, and her gaze, like a sharp sword, pierced through all illusions, staring directly at Sasori and Kakuzu.

"Now, I will reclaim this power!"

As she finished speaking, the golden threads woven from the power of time and space instantly wrapped around Sasori and Kakuzu's bodies.

These golden threads seemed to have a life of their own, binding them tightly and rendering them unable to move.

Both of them felt unprecedented pressure; this force seemed to be able to penetrate their defenses and act directly on their souls.

The scorpion's puppet body made cracking sounds, as if it might shatter at any moment.

He tried his best to break free from the golden threads, but to no avail.

Kakuzu's expression changed drastically; he could feel his life force being devoured little by little by these golden threads.

"What exactly are you trying to do?!"

Kakuzu roared, his voice filled with fear and despair.

Cheng Yun seemed not to hear his roar. Her eyes turned unusually cold, as if she were looking at two insignificant ants.

"Fengtian's [Power of Cause and Effect] should not exist in this world. It is a power formed by endless entanglements of cause and effect, full of uncertainty and danger."

Cheng Yun said calmly:

"And I will seal this power back to prevent it from bringing more disaster to the world."

As she spoke, Cheng Yun gently waved her hands, and the golden threads began to contract, tightly wrapping the scorpion and horn together.

They both felt a powerful force gradually drawing out the [causal power] from their bodies.

As the golden threads contracted, the [Power of Cause and Effect] within Sasori and Kakuzu was gradually extracted, transforming into streams of light that flowed into Cheng Yun's palm.

When the last trace of [causal power] was extracted, Sasori and Kakuzu's bodies went limp at the same time, collapsing to the ground.

Their eyes became empty and lifeless, as if they had lost all vitality.

Cheng Yun looked at the flowing light in her hand, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Immediately afterwards, she slowly approached Kakuzu and Sasori, her cold face revealing a chilling killing intent:

"Because of my carelessness, Shisui and Obito escaped..."

"Now I'm really curious, who else will come back to save you...?"

Cheng Yun's words were as cold as ice, causing both Scorpion and Kakuzu, who were lying on the ground, to shiver involuntarily.

The two of them had completely lost their fighting ability and could only watch helplessly as Cheng Yun approached step by step.

"Kill me if you want, what's the point of all this arguing!"

Faced with such a desperate situation, Scorpion suddenly let out a cold laugh.

Although his voice was hoarse, it revealed a strange firmness.

Cheng Yun was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected that Scorpion could remain so calm and resolute under these circumstances.

She looked down at the scorpion, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Hmph, at least you have some backbone."

Cheng Yun snorted coldly, but she did not stop and continued to slowly approach Scorpion.

Scorpion lay on the ground, unable to move, but his eyes were unusually bright. He stared at Cheng Yun, as if deep in thought.

"You know what? I'm actually not afraid of dying."

Scorpion's voice was calm and firm, breaking the surrounding silence.

He continued:

"My life's pursuit has been the ultimate in art..."

"I have made countless efforts and sacrifices for this goal..."

"And now, I can proudly say that I have reached my peak..."

"Even if I die now, I will have no regrets."

Scorpion's eyes revealed an indescribable determination and satisfaction, as if he had found the true value in his life.

"I just feel sorry..."

A hint of regret was evident in his words:

"It's a pity we didn't buy that guy Fengtian enough time..."

"I failed to fully complete the task he entrusted to me."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yun paused slightly.

Looking into Scorpion's resolute eyes, she couldn't help but feel a surge of respect.

She could sense Scorpion's dedication and pursuit of art, as well as his loyalty and trust in Fengtian.

This kind of spirit deserves her respect, even from her opponents.

"As a sign of my approval, I won't let you die a painful death..."

Although Cheng Yun's voice was cold, it carried a subtle gentleness, as if showing respect for Xie's final persistence.

She raised her hand, and a ball of energy shimmering with an eerie light gathered in her palm—the purest form of the [Power of Space-Time]...

However, just as Cheng Yun was about to make her move, an indescribable and extremely terrifying power suddenly erupted from somewhere in the distance, surging and turbulent like a volcanic eruption, shaking the entire world.

Immediately afterwards, a voice filled with endless rage and murderous intent seemed to transcend the shackles of time and space, resounding throughout the world and shaking everyone's eardrums.

The voice contained boundless anger and determination; every word struck the hearts of the crowd like a heavy hammer.

"Cheng Yun!"

"I want you!!"

"die!!!"
