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

As a ripple of spatial distortion gently spread, the figures of Fengtian, Kakuzu, and Obito were as if gently tossed down by an invisible hand, landing steadily in a secluded and deep corner within Takigakure Village.

At this moment, Fengtian felt a sudden discomfort in his eyes, but he quickly recovered.

He gently rubbed his eyes, feeling the surge of pupil power within his body, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Even with such a powerful backlash of cause and effect, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, after several upgrades, was merely a minor ripple, easily quelled.

"Kakuzu, you should know the place that old man mentioned, right?"

After sensing that his pupil power had been restored, Fengtian asked Kakuzu about it.

Upon hearing this, Kakuzu nodded slightly, a hint of seriousness flashing in his wrinkled eyes, before speaking:

"I know the place, and the few elite guards inside are not surprising, but there's one thing that puzzles me greatly..."

"Has our journey been a little too smooth?"

Kakuzu's voice carried a hint of confusion and wariness:

"It was as if everything was predetermined, logical, and without any obstacles."

Upon hearing this, both Fengtian and Obito involuntarily frowned and fell into deep thought.

Yes, the process of finding the location of the Seven-Tails seems too easy, too perfect.

It was as if an invisible hand was secretly controlling their fate, leading them step by step into that unknown abyss.

"Your intuition is not without merit, Kakuzu."

Fengtian pondered for a moment, then gazed intently into the distance:

"Since I embarked on the path of collecting the tailed beasts, every mission has been arduous, but I have always been able to find a breakthrough at the crucial moment and successfully complete the mission."

"This time was no exception. The old man's guidance seemed to be without any problems, but such an overly smooth process is indeed something to be wary of."

Obito nodded in agreement and added:

"Indeed, the intelligence gathering process this time went too smoothly, which makes me uneasy."

"Perhaps this is a trap set by the other side, waiting for us to walk right into it."

Kakuzu gave a cold laugh, and the deep wrinkles on his face deepened even further:

"Hmph, whether it's a trap or a conspiracy, now that we've come this far, there's no turning back."

Fengtian nodded and continued:

"You're right. Whether it's a trap or not, the Seven-Tails is a target we must capture!"

"As long as we are strong enough, no schemes or tricks will work in the face of absolute power!"

Having said this, Fengtian turned to look at Kakuzu and continued:

"You know the terrain well, so lead us there. As for those elite guards, leave them to me and Obito."

Kakuzu nodded, his figure blurred, and he took the lead, rushing towards his destination.

Fengtian and Obito followed closely behind, and the three of them quickly disappeared into the night.

After passing through a dense forest and winding through several alleys, they arrived at what appeared to be an abandoned temple.

Although the temple was dilapidated, one could still sense faint chakra fluctuations flowing within it, clearly indicating that extraordinary power was hidden there.

"This is it."

"Through this temple, you can reach the underground secret chamber of Takigakure Village."

"This is also where I obtained the [Earth Grudge]..."

Kakuzu said in a low voice, stopped in his tracks, and gestured for the two to be careful.

Fengtian nodded slightly and activated the [Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan]. His powerful eye instantly scanned the surroundings, attempting to detect any potential threats.

Obito, on the other hand, switched his right eye to the Mangekyou Sharingan, ready to deal with any unexpected situations.

Just as they were about to enter the temple, a deep bell suddenly rang out. With the sound of the bell, the surrounding air began to distort, and a powerful barrier quietly unfolded, trapping the three of them in place.

"It seems we really have been tricked."

Obito's expression was solemn as he stared intently at the barrier that had instantly formed around him.

"Hmph! Just some boring tricks. I can break this level of barrier with a flick of my wrist!"

Kakuzu snorted coldly, and then his back began to wriggle. But at that moment, he was surprised to find that his chakra flow was unusually chaotic.

This also meant that he was completely unable to use any ninjutsu normally!

"How is this possible?! My chakra flow is starting to go out of control, and I can't release [Earth Grudge Fear] properly at all!"

Kakuzu spoke with a shocked expression, his words tinged with panic.

Seeing this, Obito quickly used Kamui, attempting to escape the barrier by entering the Kamui dimension.

But he soon discovered that his situation was the same as Kakuzu's; he was completely unable to use any ninjutsu normally!

Their gazes turned to Fengtian simultaneously, those calm, still eyes seeming to be their only hope.

Fengtian's expression remained calm, as if the changing winds and clouds in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

He simply extended his right hand, his fingertips lightly touching the fine phosphorus powder floating in the air. The phosphorus powder shimmered with a ghostly blue light in the dim light, exuding an ominous aura.

"These phosphorus powders... are undoubtedly the power of [Chongming]."

"By utilizing the chaotic properties of phosphorus powder, it will only be transformed into something that can cause chaos in the body's chakra..."

"It seems that Takigakure Village is not as simple as it appears..."

After Fengtian finished speaking, Obito and the other two understood the real reason for the chaotic chakra.

However, even though they knew the answer, they still had no clue how to solve it.

Fengtian narrowed his eyes, his expression solemn. He stared intently at a certain spot in the barrier, as if he could see the threads of fate weaving into an invisible net that would trap them firmly.

He secretly pondered, wanting to forcefully use the "Reversing Cause and Effect" technique to alter cause and effect and reverse the situation with the power of defying the heavens.

However, the power of the phosphorus powder was too strange, and even he could not use [Reversing Cause and Effect] in such an environment.

Just as the three were pondering how to break the deadlock, a series of hurried footsteps broke the surrounding silence.

A group of ninjas dressed in Takigakure attire appeared before them like ghosts.

Leading the group was a middle-aged man with a cold smile. He held a gleaming longsword and approached steadily, each step seemingly hitting the beat of their hearts.

"Welcome to my domain."

The middle-aged man's voice carried a hint of mockery and sarcasm, as if he were enjoying the thrill of being in complete control, like a cat playing with a mouse.

"I am the guardian of Takigakure Village and the creator of this barrier."

He paused, a more sinister smile creeping onto his lips:

You can call me….

"The Judge..."
