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

Orochimaru?

Obito frowned slightly.

"I have heard a little about his past..."

Zhi Shui interjected, a thoughtful look on his face.

"However, I'm quite puzzled. With our current strength, how come Orochimaru has become the only variable on our path to the final battle?"

Obito voiced his doubts, his gaze fixed on Fengtian.

Fengtian chuckled softly, a playful smile curving his lips, and slowly spoke:

"Orochimaru's strength is just so-so; compared to us, he's still a bit lacking..."

He paused, his expression turning serious:

"But I really don't take his abilities seriously..."

"What I truly fear is the forbidden technique he possesses—the Impure World Reincarnation!"

Upon hearing the words "Impure World Reincarnation," everyone present except for Madara Uchiha changed their expressions and became serious.

This forbidden technique was created by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju!

It can summon the soul of the dead from the underworld and inject it into the body of the living, achieving a near-perfect resurrection effect.

In the normal timeline, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kabuto Yakushi's Impure World Reincarnation caused enormous trouble for the entire shinobi world.

Later on, Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation technique successfully summoned all the Hokage, thus influencing the entire course of the battle!

It can be said that the Edo Tensei (Impure World Reincarnation) is a ninjutsu that can determine the course of fate.

Of course, this is on the premise that there are enough offerings...

"【Edo Tensei】?"

Obito repeated the name, clearly having heard of this forbidden technique:

"You mean, Orochimaru might use this forbidden technique against us?"

Fengtian nodded, his expression serious:

"That's possible, but not necessarily..."

"Orochimaru has always pursued immortality and power, and his research on forbidden techniques can be said to have reached its pinnacle."

"If he really uses the Impure World Reincarnation at the crucial moment and is able to summon some powerful dead to fight, then our plan will be severely disrupted."

"We absolutely cannot ignore something like this!"

"What should we do then?"

After Fengtian finished speaking, Kakuzu couldn't help but ask a question.

Although he was powerful, he still found this supernatural forbidden technique somewhat troublesome.

Fengtian pondered for a moment, then said:

"We must find Orochimaru first and find out his current situation."

"If he is hostile towards us, we must find a way to stop him."

"Furthermore, if necessary, we can choose to seal him away, or rather, completely eliminate him!"

At this point, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Fengtian's eyes.

Although Orochimaru was successfully redeemed later on, from Fengtian's perspective, Orochimaru killed so many innocent people in the early stages for his own selfish desires.

Even his own teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi!

This is enough to be called a villain! In Fengtian, even though Orochimaru has not yet started to act, he has already entered his blacklist.

"But Orochimaru's whereabouts are unpredictable, how can we find him?"

Obito continued to ask questions, expressing his concerns.

Upon hearing this, Fengtian smiled and gently shook his head.

Immediately following, as Fengtian's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan slowly activated, countless tiny lines appeared before everyone's eyes.

That's a new ability he gained after Fengtian's pupil power was enhanced—[Causal Lines]!

Everyone present was surprised to see Fengtian activate the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and demonstrate the ability of causal lines.

They had never seen such a miraculous ability, to perceive the causal connections of all things in the world.

"This is……?"

Obito's eyes widened, and he asked curiously.

Fengtian smiled slightly and explained:

"This is the [Causal Thread], a new ability I gained after my eye power was enhanced..."

"It can reveal the causal connections of all things in the world, and through it, we can track Orochimaru's whereabouts."

As he spoke, Fengtian pointed to the fine lines, and one of the lines was faintly pointing into the distance.

Then, Fengtian continued speaking:

"Look, that thread is Orochimaru's causal thread. It's guiding us to his location."

Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of sudden realization.

They never expected that Fengtian would possess such a miraculous ability to track Orochimaru's movements.

"Great! With this ability, we can easily find Orochimaru!"

Obito said excitedly.

Fengtian nodded, and then said:

"That's right, but we can't let our guard down..."

"Orochimaru is a cunning fellow after all; when fighting him, one must always pay attention to his every move!"

"That guy is a man who, even if he can't beat someone, has a million ways to escape..."

"Not easy to kill..."

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice:

"Do you need me to take action myself?"

Fengtian gently shook his head, his gaze resolute:

"Lord Ban, you are our Twilight organization's greatest trump card."

"Unless absolutely necessary, you should not show yourself."

He paused, his tone carrying an undeniable determination:

"As for Orochimaru, I'll go there myself."

Seeing this, Madara Uchiha didn't say anything more.

He walked slowly toward the imposing wooden throne, each step seemingly carrying the weight of a thousand pounds. Though his words were soft, they conveyed an undeniable sense of oppression.

"Summon me again if needed."

He gazed intently at Fengtian, a hint of barely perceptible emotion in his voice:

"By the grace of Heaven..."

"My time is running out..."

Upon hearing Madara Uchiha say that his time was running out, Fengtian suddenly realized what was happening.

Yes, I've been so busy capturing tailed beasts that I've forgotten the most crucial issue.

That is Madara Uchiha's life, which is almost gone in this timeline!

In particular, after Fengtian restored him to his peak condition, it launched two major battles.

Although Madara himself didn't say it, Fengtian knew that every time Madara used his chakra, he was actually overdrawing his own body!

Perhaps, at this moment, his body is already riddled with holes, and even the powerful regenerative abilities of the [Hashirama Cells] and the [Gedo Mazo] that have been prolonging his life cannot save him!

"I understand, Lord Madara."

Fengtian's eyes were complicated, and he responded in a low voice.

"I will deal with Orochimaru as soon as possible and will not let anything hinder our plans."

His words were firm, revealing an unquestionable determination.

Then, Fengtian turned his gaze to Obito and Shisui, his tone carrying an undeniable authority:

"Obito and Shisui, you two are coming with me on this mission!"

He then looked at Kakuzu and Sasori and instructed them:

"You two stay here and remember, absolutely do not let anyone else notice anything amiss!"

Upon hearing this, the four nodded slightly, acknowledging Fengtian's arrangement.

After saying that, Fengtian stretched out his hand to Obito and Shisui, making a grasping gesture, signaling them to follow.

The two exchanged glances, nodded in tacit agreement, stepped forward, and firmly grasped Fengtian's hand.

At that very moment, Fengtian suddenly activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, and his figure instantly became blurred.

Following the subtle pull of the [causal thread], he sped towards Orochimaru's location like a bolt of lightning!
