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

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

Kakuzu's words carried a chill, as if they could freeze the surrounding air.

As he finished speaking, the lightning-streaked [Earth Grudge] seemed to hear its master's call and shrank back into Kakuzu's body at an astonishing speed.

At that very moment, Kakuzu's body began to undergo a strange transformation.

Something seemed to be wriggling beneath his skin. Then, his limbs seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, revealing dense black lines.

These black lines, as if alive, writh on his limbs, sending chills down one's spine.

Not only that, black lines kept wriggling out of Kakuzu's mouth, intertwining together as if they wanted to devour everything.

Kakuzu at this moment has completely changed his appearance; this is his most powerful and terrifying form.

[Earthly Grudge Form]!

Sensing the unusual aura around him, Suigetsu Hozuki swept several White Zetsu away with a fierce attack, sending them scattering in all directions.

He suddenly turned his head, his gaze fixed on the direction where Kakuzu was.

Upon seeing this, Suigetsu Hozuki's expression changed drastically. Countless black lines, like a surging tide, swept towards him at an astonishing speed!

These black lines seemed to have a life of their own, weaving nimbly through the air and surrounding him in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon was tightly bound by these black threads, unable to move. His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief:

"What?!"

However, before his exclamation could even finish, a strong electric current traveled along the black line throughout his entire body.

The electric current felt like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, instantly numbing him and causing his entire body to tremble violently.

It felt like a million ants were tearing at his nerves, causing unbearable pain.

"[Lightning Release: False Darkness]!"

Kakuzu's voice was deep and threatening, and his figure appeared even more unpredictable beneath the black lines.

As the words fell, the black lines wrapped around the Watermelon Pufferfish suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and the electric current raged like an angry dragon, turning the surrounding space into a deep blue.

Suigetsu Fuguki gritted his teeth, trying to resist the pain that was almost tearing his soul apart, but Kakuzu's black lines and lightning ninjutsu were not so easy to withstand.

Samehada wanted to cut the black threads, but it lacked the sharpness to do so, so it could only helplessly watch as Suigetsu Hobutsu let out a painful wail.

Soon, Suigetsu Hozuki's eyes began to roll back, his body convulsed uncontrollably due to excessive paralysis, and his consciousness, like a light in the fog, gradually dimmed.

At this critical moment, a powerful roar exploded like thunder:

"Don't get too cocky!"

As these words fell, Juzo Biwa's figure surged forward like a ghost. He wielded a guillotine, its blade gleaming with a cold light, as if capable of severing all obstacles in the world.

With a swift and clean movement, Juzo Biwa severed the black threads binding Suigetsu Hozuki in two!

The black lines broke apart like vines being cut by a sharp blade.

"Hebi-ki, you're in such a sorry state!"

Pipa Juzo's tone carried an undeniable arrogance, and his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, as if they could see through all falsehoods and pretenses.

Upon seeing this, Kakuzu curled his lips into a cold smile, seemingly unsurprised by Biwa Juzo's resistance.

"Hmph, that's interesting, but do you think this will change anything?"

Kakuzu snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain.

Before he finished speaking, his body underwent another shocking change.

The black lines that had been severed by Juzo Biwa seemed to come alive, rapidly wriggling and healing their wounds, returning to his body as if they had never been injured.

Immediately afterwards, Kakuzu's hands began to fly rapidly, forming a series of complex hand seals.

With his movements, an even more violent aura emanated from his body, and lightning-attribute chakra surged around him, as if it were about to unleash a world-destroying thunderstorm at any moment.

"[Lightning Release: Thousand Streams of Light]!"

Kakuzu chanted softly, and then his body seemed to transform into a massive source of lightning, with countless tiny lightning needles shooting out from within him, slicing through the sky like a dense rain of arrows.

Each lightning rod contained terrifying power capable of piercing steel, its target being Juzo Biwa and Suigetsu Hozuki, who had just regained some mobility. A heavy sense of crisis permeated the air.

Pipa Juzo's eyes sharpened, and he quickly held his Executioner's Blade horizontally in front of his chest, forming a defensive barrier.

The lightning rod collided with the blade, producing a series of explosive sounds, sparks flying, and a pungent smell of burning filling the air.

Despite Pipa Juzo's best efforts to resist, several lightning rods still pierced through his defenses, leaving several charred wounds on his body.

"hateful!"

Juzo Biwa growled, the pain fueling his fighting spirit. He knew that if he couldn't defeat Kakuzu as soon as possible, they would both be doomed.

Just then, Suigetsu Hozuki, under the cover of Biwa Juzo, managed to regain his footing. Although his body was still trembling from the previous paralysis.

"It seems this opponent won't be so easy to deal with..."

Suigetsu Hobutsuki gripped Samehada tightly in his hand and slowly stood up.

Immediately afterwards, streams of powerful chakra began to emerge from Samehada's blade, flowing slowly into Suigetsu Hobuki's body like a gentle stream.

As this power surged in, his injuries began to heal at a visible speed, and the pain gradually lessened.

The next moment, an amazing change occurred.

Suigetsu Hozuki's hair seemed to come alive, growing continuously and becoming incredibly sharp, standing upright on his head like steel needles.

This is his unique secret technique – the "Needle and Hair Technique"!

With the enhancement of this secret technique, he looked even more ferocious, like a beast about to launch an attack.

His hair seemed to transform into countless sharp steel needles, gleaming with a cold light, and appearing even more ferocious under the reflection of lightning.

"Juzo, let's end this farce together!"

Suigetsu Hozuki's voice was filled with fighting spirit, and under the effect of Samehada, the chakra energy in his body instantly reached its peak!

Pipa Juzo nodded. Although he had just suffered a minor injury, it did not affect his combat power at all.

Kakuzu watched the two join forces, his cold smile deepening.

"Hmph, just a death throes."

Just then, Suigetsu Hozuki suddenly launched an attack. His figure shot out like a ghost, and steel needles formed from his hair rained down on Kakuzu.

At the same time, Juzo Biwa followed closely behind, brandishing his guillotine, its sharp blade aimed directly at Kakuzu's vitals.

Kakuzu's figure swayed as if he had merged into the air, skillfully avoiding the two men's attacks.

"What a useless move..."
