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

Half an hour ago, in the Hidden Mist Village

"Hmph! To make me lead this bunch of half-human, half-demon bastards into battle is utterly pathetic..."

As Kakuzu muttered to himself about the vast, densely packed army of White Zetsu behind him, he strode forward with incredible speed.

He only slowed down and stopped when the outline of Kirigakure became faintly visible.

Immediately afterwards, the four large bags on his back began to twist and writhe, and then the [Earthly Grudge], which had expanded several times over, suddenly appeared and broke free.

The white Zetsu, witnessing this scene, whispered amongst themselves, their faces filled with helplessness:

"We're neither human nor ghost..."

"Hey, look at your four monsters, those are truly neither human nor ghost!"

Kakuzu's gaze was fixed on the village, which seemed to be shrouded in thick fog, like that of a hawk. He suddenly raised his arm, and the four enormous [Earth Grudge] opened their mouths and began to gather chakra.

In an instant, several beams of chakra containing destructive power roared towards the unprepared Hidden Mist Village like angry dragons emerging from the sea!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Four deafening explosions rang out above Kirigakure, the massive energy surges instantly dispersing the surrounding mist and revealing the village hidden within.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Alarms blared throughout the village as ninjas rushed out of their homes toward the direction of the explosion.

However, when they arrived at the scene, they found it in complete disarray, with countless buildings destroyed, flames raging, and cries for help echoing everywhere.

"What... what's going on?"

A ninja from Kirigakure stared blankly at the scene before him and asked incredulously.

"It's the Twilight organization! They've attacked us!"

Another ninja shouted, his face full of anxiety and anger.

Just then, another roar came from the sky, and several dark shadows swept across the sky, heading straight for Kirigakure Village.

Kakuzu controlled the Earth Grudge Fear, weaving through the air, each attack precisely striking the vital points of Kirigakure. Meanwhile, the White Zetsu surged towards the village from all directions like a tidal wave, constantly creating chaos and destruction.

"Damn it! We have to stop them!"

The ninjas of Kirigakure unleashed their ninjutsu in an attempt to withstand the attacks of Kakuzu and White Zetsu.

However, Kakuzu was powerful, the attacks of the Earth Grudge Fear were incredibly powerful, and there were simply too many White Zetsu, so they quickly found themselves in a fierce battle.

Just as everyone was sinking into an endless abyss of despair, two ninjas wielding strange ninja swords appeared on the battlefield like divine soldiers descending from the sky!

These two are none other than the best of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist—Suigazan Fuguki and Biwa Juzo!

"Sigh, it seems we're in deep trouble this time. This is a complete mess, it can't get any worse..."

Looking at the almost completely ruined Kirigakure village before him, Suigetsu Hobutsuki sighed softly and spoke slowly.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is our territory, after all. Saying that is a bit inconsiderate of you..."

Pipa Juzo quickly chimed in, taking the guillotine from his back as he spoke, gently licking the blade with his tongue, his eyes gleaming with fanaticism.

"This aura of chakra is making my Samehada tremble with excitement..."

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon chuckled, appearing unusually excited.

Suigetsu Hozuki also removed Samehada from his back, and a look of madness appeared on his face as well.

Samehada seemed to sense the surging chakra energy of the enhanced [Earth Grudge Fear] and was also eager to devour it.

The two exchanged a glance, then charged into the ranks of those fighting the White Zetsu.

With the arrival of Suigetsu Hozuki and Hibiki Juzo, the battlefield situation in Kirigakure instantly changed.

"Hmph, it seems Kirigakure still has some hidden strength."

Kakuzu looked at the two ninjas who had suddenly appeared, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

Suigetsu Hobuki and Biwa Juzo worked together seamlessly, fending off the attacks of the Earth Grudge Fear while guiding the Kirigakure ninjas in a counterattack.

These two truly lived up to their reputation as members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist; in just a few moments, they almost single-handedly pulled the already collapsing situation back on track.

The original Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist had seven members, but during the last Shinobi World War, four of them were defeated by a green-clad ninja from Konoha.

The remaining three also fled back to Kirigakure in a sorry state, one of whom was named Kurosuki Raiga!

This ninja defected from the village shortly after returning to Kirigakure and became a rogue ninja, which is why he did not appear on the battlefield.

"Hmph! The taste of this chakra is simply exquisite! My Samehada hasn't felt this exhilarated in a long time..."

Suigetsu Hozuki skillfully manipulated Samehada, like a greedy beast, constantly devouring the fierce attacks released by [Jigan-yu].

In just a short while, Samehada's originally slender body expanded rapidly like an inflating balloon, its volume increasing several times over!

Upon seeing this, Kakuzu became secretly alarmed, knowing that if things continued in this way, the situation would become increasingly unfavorable.

So, he made a quick decision to take action himself and vowed to deal with the troublesome guy, Suigetsu Hobutsuki, first!

With a flash, he appeared beside the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon, and the four [Earth Grudge] creatures, like four giant tentacles, suddenly wrapped around him.

However, Suigetsu Hozuki reacted extremely quickly, dodging the attack by sidestepping. At the same time, he swung his Samehada sword, creating a sharp gust of wind that aimed straight for Kakuzu's head.

Kakuzu snorted coldly, his body twisting strangely to avoid the attack. At the same time, [Earth Grudge] quickly adjusted its direction and attacked Suigetsu Hozuki again.

The two engaged in a fierce battle, their swords flashing and their chakra clashing, causing the surrounding air to tremble.

On the other side, Juzo Biwa was not idle either. He wielded his Executioner's Blade, charging left and right among the White Zetsu. Wherever he passed, the White Zetsu were cut in two, and blood splattered everywhere.

His fighting style was extremely wild, and every strike contained the power to cut through steel, making the White Zetsu extremely wary of him.

However, the number of White Zetsu was simply too great, seemingly endless, and no matter how fiercely Juzo Biwa fought, he could not completely eliminate them.

Just then, an idea suddenly came to him. He shouted and swung his decapitation sword fiercely towards the ground.

With a deafening roar, the ground suddenly cracked open, and countless clods of earth surged out, forming massive earthen walls that temporarily trapped the White Zetsu.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Juzo Biwa leaped onto the earthen wall, his eyes blazing as he scanned the surroundings, searching for Kakuzu's whereabouts.

At this point, the battle between Kakuzu and Suigetsu Hozuki had entered a fierce stage.

Both of them were moving at their maximum speed, and only afterimages could be seen crisscrossing in the air.

Kakuzu's [Earth Grudge] continuously emitted sharp howls, attempting to entangle Suigetsu Hozuki, while Suigetsu Hozuki, relying on Samehada's magical abilities, repeatedly escaped danger.

"Hmph, looks like I'll have to use my real skills!"
