Chapter 027: The Exposure of Infinite Tsukuyomi!
In the Golden List Livestream:
[Kakashi: Uchiha Madara actually managed to break free from the Reanimation! But why didn't the First Hokage break free when Orochimaru resurrected him?]
[Uchiha Madara: Because I am stronger!]
[Tobirama Senju: Heh, it's all about the sacrifice. If I had a better one, I could have also freed myself from the Reanimation and rendered the summoner powerless!]
[Hashirama Senju: With Madara's current strength, I might not be his match!]
In the image, after Hashirama displayed his true strength, he quickly defeated the Five Kage, leaving them gravely injured and lying on the ground, as the ninja alliance also suffered heavy casualties, reduced to lifeless corpses.
At this point, the screen completely cut off.
[Fourth Raikage: From the future scene, we can see that the Five Kage of the Five Great Nations were defeated by the Reanimated Madara, but whether we died or not is still unclear. However, judging by our collapse, we probably didn't die. Yet the future is uncertain—one wrong move and we could be done for!]
[Mei Terumi: The easiest solution is to prevent anyone from resurrecting Uchiha Madara through Reanimation, and the primary suspect is Orochimaru. He has a history, so I suggest all Five Great Nations join forces to eliminate Orochimaru!]
At this moment, Orochimaru began to panic. If the Five Great Nations really joined forces, they could indeed find him. Even if they couldn't kill him, they could seal him, and that would be the end for him!
[Orochimaru: Everyone, it might not necessarily be me. Many people know Reanimation. Even Konoha has access to it. It could very well be someone there who did it!]
[Tobirama Senju: Reanimation isn't a technique that just anyone can master. Even learning it takes considerable time, and you, Orochimaru, are the most likely candidate to perform the future Reanimation on Madara.]
[Fourth Raikage: Orochimaru, you trained Uchiha Sasuke. If Sasuke fails in the attack we saw earlier, perhaps he dies. You might get enraged and use Reanimation to resurrect Uchiha Madara and other powerful individuals to declare war on the Five Great Nations. It's not impossible!]
[Orochimaru: …]
Orochimaru was speechless. Even he suspected that it could be him in the future who resurrects Uchiha Madara. After all, it was not something beyond his capabilities.
Of course, he wasn't the only one capable of it; his assistant Kabuto was also researching Reanimation and could perform it.
"Kabuto, currently, the Five Great Nations suspect you, so we must be cautious. We can't stay in the Sound Village anymore; we should move to another secret base," Kabuto suggested.
"Indeed, we must leave!" Orochimaru nodded.
At this time, someone in the livestream suggested that the Fourth Raikage use the last chance of the Future Card.
[Third Tsuchikage: Fourth Raikage, the Future Card still has one use left. Why not use it now?]
[Tsunade: I also suggest using it, Fourth Raikage. We might learn what happens after the battle. If the screen goes blank, it means you died in that battle!]
[Killer Bee: Brother, I'm curious too. Use it!]
[Mei Terumi: Fourth Raikage, there's no point in saving the Future Card. Just use it!]
[Fourth Raikage: Alright, I'll use it then!]
Without hesitation, the Fourth Raikage used the Future Card for the last time.
Buzz!
The livestream revealed a new scene.
A massive, unimaginable tree rose from the ground, with its roots spreading across the entire land. At that moment, the Fourth Raikage stood still, his expression gradually turning blank, as his eyes transformed into Rinnegan.
Then, a special kind of fabric, woven from an unknown power, wrapped around the Fourth Raikage, turning him into what looked like a mummy. Subsequently, the Fourth Raikage was hung on one of the gigantic tree's branches, where countless other mummified figures could be seen—undoubtedly ninjas.
At this point, everyone in the livestream felt a deep sense of dread, as if they were witnessing their own demise.
...
"It worked, haha! The Infinite Tsukuyomi plan succeeded in the end! Everyone will be trapped in the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi. In that world, I can finally be with Rin forever and build the world we dream of!" Uchiha Obito said maniacally.
Meanwhile, in the Pure Land, Uchiha Madara was equally thrilled.
He had already deduced the rough situation. He was resurrected through Reanimation and likely revived later, merging with the Ten-Tails, achieving Six Paths-level power, and becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. His strength would definitely rival that of the Sage of Six Paths.
Then, he would summon the Divine Tree and cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, trapping everyone in the illusion world.
"In that case, Might Guy's kick didn't kill me. But with the Water of Life he now possesses, he should survive. However, if he couldn't kill me, I could kill him. So, I'm still invincible!"
"As for Ye Tian, if he couldn't stop it in time, once the Infinite Tsukuyomi is completed, everyone will be pulled into the Infinite Tsukuyomi world, including him!"
Madara was highly confident in the Infinite Tsukuyomi's power—it was undeniably an unbeatable technique.
...
[Fourth Raikage: What's going on? Why did my eyes turn into Rinnegan? Could it be that I evolved into Rinnegan?]
[Third Tsuchikage: What are you thinking? You don't even have a dojutsu. How could you suddenly evolve into Rinnegan? And that doesn't look like awakening; you were clearly controlled! That technique must be incredibly terrifying, controlling everyone like mummies, sealing them on a tree.]
[Otsutsuki Hagoromo: This is the Infinite Tsukuyomi, the ultimate ocular technique of the Rinnegan. It can trap the entire world in an illusion from which there is no escape, unless the caster is killed, and even then, it's difficult to break the technique! To cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, one must summon the Divine Tree, which is the source of all chakra in this world!]
[Third Hokage: The Sage of Six Paths appeared!]
[Might Guy: Infinite Tsukuyomi, huh? What a terrifying technique!]
[Mei Terumi: So, does this mean the world is doomed? Will everyone be trapped in the illusion world?]
[White Snake Sage: The Three Great Holy Lands and the Moon won't be affected!]
[Kakashi: I'm really curious who managed to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, covering the entire world. Even with Rinnegan, casting such a technique would be incredibly challenging, requiring power not inferior to the Sage of Six Paths.]
[Hashirama Senju: Madara, you're the most likely candidate! But your current strength isn't enough. Did something change later?]
[Fourth Raikage: Unfortunately, we could only see this much—no more images!]
[Tsunade: Orochimaru, don't you dare resurrect Uchiha Madara. You don't want to end up in the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi either, do you?]
