Chapter 322: Infinite Tsukuyomi! 【35】
Chapter 322: Infinite Tsukuyomi! 【35】
In a remote location within the Land of Fire, Kakashi Hatake was leading a team consisting of Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno on a mission to investigate a string of nighttime thefts in the capital city. Many noble households had fallen victim, and no traces had been left behind, indicating that ninjas were undoubtedly responsible.
"Everything's clear on my end. What about Number One?"
Kakashi, equipped with headphones, crouched on a rooftop, listening to the sounds of 'mmmm' and 'ahhh' emanating from the house below. He glanced downward, then quickly averted his gaze.
On the other hand, Sasuke, perched stealthily on a tree branch, whispered, "All clear here as well."
"I don't see anything out of the ordinary here either," Sakura replied quietly as she maneuvered silently across the rooftops of the capital.
Kakashi tilted his head, inquiring, "Number Three, what about your location?"
With his current abilities, investigating the theft incidents was a relatively effortless task. A mere glance with his Rinnegan would be sufficient to detect any chakra-bearing individuals within the capital, leaving them unable to escape his vigilant gaze.
However, as the team leader, his primary objective was to mentor and train Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. Thus, he mostly observed from a distance, allowing the three young ninjas to take the lead in their actions.
"I think I hear something over here... Oh, it's just a cat," Naruto's voice piped up through the headphones.
Kakashi shook his head, fighting off boredom as he lay down on the eaves, gazing up at the sky. It was at this very moment that he noticed something peculiar about the moon.
Compared to usual, the moon appeared significantly larger, bathed in a crimson hue. Suddenly, ripples resembling the Rinnegan's pattern and nine magatama began to emerge on its surface.
"This is..."
Kakashi paused, his expression suddenly turning grave.
Upon witnessing the white light emanating from the moon, he instantly recalled a technique that Feng Ye had once mentioned to him—Infinite Tsukuyomi!!
Buzz! !
Without hesitation,
Kakashi's dark eyes transformed into Sharingan in an instant, evolving further into the Mangekyo Sharingan before ultimately spinning and settling into the Rinnegan. A surge of powerful chakra erupted from within him.
Cyan-blue chakra soared skyward, solidifying into a colossal chakra giant outside his body. It unfurled its wings and took flight, hovering in the sky.
Complete Susanoo!
"Naruto! Sasuke! Sakura!!!"
As Kakashi unleashed the full power of his Susanoo, he shouted at the top of his lungs to his three students.
The colossal presence of the Susanoo's complete form undoubtedly drew the immediate attention of Naruto and Sasuke. They had never before witnessed Kakashi's Susanoo in its perfect state, and their faces reflected their awe and astonishment.
"Kakashi-sensei?!"
Swish!!
Without the slightest hesitation, Kakashi manipulated the Susanoo's wings, instantly sweeping across the capital and scooping up Sakura, followed by Naruto and Sasuke, placing them inside the giant's skull.
Just as he finished securing Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura within the protective confines of the Susanoo's head, a brilliant white light exploded from the moon, transforming it into a radiant sun that illuminated the entire ninja world.
The commotion caused by the Susanoo's eruption had startled countless civilians and ninjas within the capital, prompting many to fling open their windows.
But.
Before any of them could utter a word, the white light enveloped them, freezing them in their tracks with eyes bearing the ripples of the Rinnegan.
Kakashi, with a grave expression, looked up at the sky, his voice tense as he said, "This is... Infinite Tsukuyomi! A genjutsu projected from the moon, casting its illusion over the entire ninja world!"
"No way... the entire ninja world?!"
Sakura exclaimed, her face reflecting her disbelief.
Even Sasuke struggled to believe it, asking, "Is this... something humans are capable of?!"
Kakashi fixed his gaze on the sky; with his Rinnegan, he could see a completely different perspective. He could make out an extremely ethereal and colossal figure covering the entire sky.
The moon, adorned with nine magatama and the ripples of the Rinnegan, was the eye on the brow of that figure. Kakashi had never encountered this presence before, but he had heard about it from Feng Ye.
The Chakra Ancestor—
Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki!
"Humans may find it difficult, but it's a different story if it's not a human."
Kakashi took a deep breath and slowly explained, thinking to himself that Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki had indeed returned and successfully cast Infinite Tsukuyomi!
"Not a human..."
Naruto's heart trembled as he listened to Kakashi's words.
Just about then, the ground began to shake violently. Thick trees surged from the ground, blocking out the sun and stretching across the sky.
Shick! !
Kakashi's eyes narrowed, and with a swift swing of Susanoo's sword, he sliced through one of the trees that was as massive as a town, effortlessly cleaving it in two.
However, countless more trees continued to sprout from the ground, forcing him to maneuver Susanoo to higher altitudes until they reached the stratosphere.
Looking down, they saw the trees that spanned the earth sprouting wooden tendrils that wrapped around buildings and pulled people out.
"What... is that?"
Sasuke's heart trembled as he witnessed this bizarre phenomenon.
Kakashi's eyes darkened as he gazed downward, explaining, "Big Brother mentioned this... It's likely a Wood Release Jutsu under the Six Paths' power, the Divine Tree's Birth!"
As he finished speaking, he lifted his head once more to gaze at the sky.
Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki had unleashed both Infinite Tsukuyomi and the Divine Tree's Birth. Only those with the Rinnegan, like himself and Feng Ye, would be immune to its effects.
"Finally, we get to fight side by side..."
"Big Brother..."
Kakashi took a breath and gazed at the sky, his heart heavy as he whispered.
Having attained the Six Paths' power, he was resistant to Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki's Infinite Tsukuyomi and Divine Tree's Birth, signifying that he had reached a level where he could fight alongside Feng Ye against such a formidable foe.
Since he was very young, Kakashi had always chased after Feng Ye's figure, but as time passed, the distance between them only grew. Now, finally, he wouldn't have to stand in Feng Ye's shadow; he could be by Feng Ye's side, facing enemies like Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki together.
From now on,
it was time for the brothers to fight side by side after all these years. This time, he wouldn't be standing behind Feng Ye!
