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

"Scorpion, release all your puppets..."

Fengtian's words, tinged with anticipation, fell softly.

Scorpion nodded slightly, a playful smile playing on his lips. With a flick of his fingers, he pulled out several exquisite scrolls from his pocket.

"Bang!"

With a soft click, the scroll unfurled, and accompanied by a cloud of smoke, countless puppets seemed to descend from the sky, instantly filling the entire space.

The underground space was quite spacious, but it seemed cramped in the face of hundreds of puppets, and even the air became heavy.

The puppets were of various shapes and sizes; some held sharp blades, while others carried heavy cannons on their backs, their gleaming surfaces sending chills down one's spine.

A hint of surprise flashed in Fengtian's eyes. He hadn't expected that Scorpion could control so many puppets, while Scorpion remained calm, as if everything was under his control.

Fengtian looked up at the puppets flying all over the sky, palms up, and gently raised his hands as if summoning something.

In that instant, an indescribable and immense power—the power of cause and effect—like an invisible giant net, suddenly enveloped all the puppets.

"Um?"

Scorpion frowned slightly and let out a low, questioning murmur.

Although on the surface, the puppets did not appear to change in appearance under the influence of the [Power of Cause and Effect].

But a storm raged in Scorpion's heart. He could clearly feel that his puppet was being touched by some mysterious force and was undergoing an amazing transformation.

That subtle yet profound change both shocked and intrigued him.

The blessing of the [Power of Cause and Effect] was like a silent ritual that lasted for a full five minutes.

The mysterious infusion of power only came to a slow end when a bead of sweat quietly slid down Fengtian's forehead.

"Scorpion, take a look. All those puppets you painstakingly crafted, including that Wind Shadow Puppet, are now covered with a layer of [Causal Power]..."

Fengtian breathed heavily, his eyes revealing a tired yet satisfied look.

"Under the protection of this mysterious and unpredictable power, anyone who tries to easily destroy your puppet is simply dreaming..."

His words carried an undeniable firmness.

"In other words, your puppet is now practically unbreakable!"

Fengtian's tone carried a hint of pride, as if he were showing off his masterpiece to Xie.

A look of disbelief flashed in Scorpion's eyes. He slowly walked towards a puppet, gently touching it with his fingertips, as if he could feel an unprecedented toughness and strange energy flow.

This is not merely a reinforcement of materials, but a kind of transcendence of the constraints of physical laws, making each puppet seem like an immortal being.

"What an amazing power, the [Power of Cause and Effect]... to be able to do this."

Scorpion murmured softly, his tone filled with both shock and awe at the unknown power.

He looked up at Fengtian, his eyes flashing with complex emotions:

"In this way, my art will have no boundaries."

Fengtian smiled slightly, his expression showing a hint of weariness but also full of relief:

"Your art should never be so easily bound by this world..."

"This is the only thing I can do for you, and I hope it will help you go further on this path."

Before he could catch his breath, Fengtian turned his gaze to Kakuzu.

"Next, it's your turn..."

Fengtian's voice was deep and powerful. After speaking, he manipulated the mysterious [Power of Cause and Effect], which, like an invisible chain, quickly swept towards Kakuzu.

In an instant, Kakuzu was tightly enveloped by this strange and powerful energy, his figure appearing and disappearing amidst the flashes of light.

As time went by, four strange bulges suddenly appeared on Kakuzu's back. They seemed to contain infinite power and were constantly wriggling and expanding!

The next moment, the four large bags seemed to finally be unable to withstand the internal pressure and suddenly burst open. Four strange black monsters, accompanied by a foul stench, instantly detached from Kakuzu's body!

That's Kakuzu's signature secret technique—[Earth Grudge]!

However, under the blessing of the [Power of Cause and Effect], these monsters actually swelled to several times their original size!

They swung wildly in the air with destructive power. Even the entire solid underground base seemed about to burst under the impact of this force, teetering on the brink of collapse!

Just then, Fengtian realized that the time was almost right, so he stopped transmitting the [Power of Cause and Effect].

This finally stopped the ever-expanding [Earthly Grudges] from changing.

"Your [Earth Grudge Fears], under the blessing of my [Power of Cause and Effect], have all their chakra attacks increased several times in power!"

"Furthermore, I've reinforced their physical structure. While they're not as sturdy as Scorpion's puppets, they're tough enough..."

Kakuzu stared wide-eyed at the four enormous Earth Grudges behind him, his face showing disbelief.

He could sense that these already powerful tentacles now contained an even more terrifying power, as if they could level any obstacle in front of them with a single wave.

"Is...is this really my [Earth Grudge]?"

Kakuzu's voice trembled slightly, a mixture of surprise and fear of the unknown power.

Fengtian nodded, his expression solemn and serious:

"That's right, this is your [Earth Grudge Fear], but it's no longer just a product of chakra..."

"With the blessing of the [Power of Cause and Effect], not only has their attack power been greatly enhanced, but their defense and durability have also been strengthened."

"You, Kakuzu, will henceforth possess even more terrifying power."

Kakuzu took a deep breath, trying to calm the shock in his heart.

He slowly walked up to a [Earth Grudge], gently touched its tough outer skin, and felt the immense power contained within.

"Fengtian, this gift of yours is quite substantial."

Kakuzu said in a low voice, his tone filled with both gratitude and anticipation for the future.

"We both know that in this chaotic world, power is the only thing that can protect us."

Fengtian said calmly:

"I just hope that you can use this power to do something meaningful, instead of wasting it on endless killing and fighting."

Kakuzu nodded, his expression resolute:

"Don't worry, Fengtian. I know what I should do, and I know how to do it."

Having twice consumed that enormous [power of cause and effect] without reservation, even Fengtian was now finding himself somewhat overwhelmed.

He slowly moved his feet and sat down on the slightly old wooden chair next to him, looking intently at Kakuzu and Sasori in front of him.

He took a few deep breaths, regulated his breathing, and then continued:

"Now, the two of you truly possess the formidable strength to destroy a nation single-handedly..."

"I believe that you will play a crucial role in the upcoming war..."

Upon hearing Fengtian's words, Scorpion and Kakuzu exchanged a glance, reading a hint of determination and expectation in each other's eyes.

Then, they nodded slightly in unison, as if assuring Fengtian that they would never betray this trust and expectation.

Now that their strength has increased, both of them have an urge to rush out and fight immediately.

However, since Fengtian had not yet spoken, the two managed to suppress their impulses.

A moment later, Fengtian felt his pupil power recover, then stood up, looked at Zhishui, and said in a deep voice:

"Your situation is a bit special; I can't directly boost your strength like they do..."

"But I did come up with another idea..."
