Waves of battle sounded from afar. The ninjas who felt they were not strong enough had already retreated. Only those ninjas who thought they could still help were still staying close to observe the situation.
On a giant tree on top of a small mound, Orochimaru, dressed as a Rain Ninja and using the alias Shigure, was observing the battle situation.
In such a situation, even Orochimaru, who had recovered to his peak state, did not dare to approach easily. The advantages brought by his expertise in ninjutsu and body transformation were of little use in front of the unreasonable Rinnegan and the Outer Path Demon Statue.
The Impure World Reincarnation, one of the main fighting forces, is now unable to exert its strength. Almost all valuable materials have been divided up by Kabuto Yakushi and Mizuka.
The sky has darkened, as if in response to the difficult times that are about to come. Even the night seems darker, and only the bright moon that occasionally passes through the dark clouds can provide a little light.
At this moment, the battle over there was clearly becoming increasingly unfavorable.
Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Orochimaru, causing him to tense up, but then he felt relieved.
"It's you, Mizuki! Has Uchiha Obito been dealt with?"
"Um!"
Mizuki, who had just appeared, happened to see Uchiha Madara manipulating the power of the Outer Path Demon Statue to forcibly suppress Uchiha Itachi's Amaterasu. The chakra dragon rolled, shattering the enemy's soul and allowing it to return to the pure land.
Mizuki frowned. The situation seemed to be developing a little slowly. Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke had not yet obtained the power of the Six Paths.
Orochimaru, who was somewhat aware of Mizuki's dissatisfaction, thought that Mizuki was worried about the poor performance of his allies, and simply said:
"Now that you're here, it's almost time to wrap things up. Your clone is really powerful. If it weren't for him, the battle would have collapsed long ago. I didn't expect the Byakugan to have such power. The Hyuga family are really a bunch of idiots!"
Mizuki shook his head.
"That's not what I'm worried about."
"Eh... then what are you going to do? You've gone to great lengths to control the situation to this extent, is there still a problem? Is there anything I haven't considered?"
"The enemy in front of me is not scary. I have expected this, but I am a little unsure about what will happen next!"
Another Impure World Body's soul returned to the Pure Land. Although Nagato possessed the power of the Rinnegan, it was only a projection of the soul and could not be compared with the original one.
Next came Fenfu, who was only good at sealing techniques and lacked the ability to fight and protect himself, and he also ended his mission.
As more and more people withdraw, the balance is completely broken, and the Ninja Alliance will inevitably be defeated like an avalanche.
The Chakra Dragon alone was enough to break the siege of the Ninja Alliance. Although Kakashi Hatake used the spatial power of Kamui to injure the Outer Path Statue, and Tsunade also activated the Hundred Healings Seal and used her super strength to temporarily wrestle with the Outer Path Statue, as long as the chakra was exhausted, it would be defeated.
As for the attacks of other ninjas, even the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki's Dust Release: Original World Separation Technique was useless under the Rinnegan's Hungry Ghost Path: Sealing Technique.
"Why don't you go and help? This is your last chance, right? If you want to stop the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki from reviving?"
Orochimaru was a little confused. If Mizuki's previous actions could be explained, then the fact that he was still hesitant now was really too suspicious.
"What on earth are you thinking? Isn't our goal to stop Uchiha Madara from using the Infinite Tsukuyomi to destroy the world?"
"Infinite Tsukuyomi? You overestimate it!"
This spell has no effect on creatures outside the realm.
Creatures within the scope of the rules of the Ninja World, including the summoned beasts of the same lineage, have no way to escape. If they are in the so-called sacred place of summoned beasts, with the help of the powerful strength of the three great immortals, they may not be affected, but as long as they enter the Ninja World, they will still be confused by the infinite moon reading.
In addition, possessing the power of Six Paths can also prevent Infinite Tsukuyomi, but it must be the power of Six Paths that contains spiritual power. Pure Six Paths Yang Release will not work.
Not only that, it can be done by powers of equal height, such as the Rinnegan.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura joined forces to seal Otsutsuki Kaguya. Both of them are strong people who are not affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and Otsutsuki Hamura has not even obtained the Samsara Eye.
Whether it is the Rinnegan, the Samsara Eye, or the Byakugan or the Sharingan, the bloodline limit is not the key to resisting the Infinite Tsukuyomi, but the power rules that accompany it are.
"The power of the Six Paths is only named after the Six Paths Sage, but this level of power does not necessarily have to be obtained according to the Six Paths Sage's methods."
Otsutsuki Hamura is not on the same path as the Six Paths Sage. The Samsara Eye that appeared later had never even appeared when the Six Paths Sage was alive.
Although the Six Paths Sage separated the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, greatly increasing the difficulty for the ninja world to obtain this power, it is not that no one can break through.
In the Infinite Tsukuyomi, there are actually two groups that are not affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi: the lifeless Impure World Body, the White Zetsu, and even Uchiha Obito who is controlled by the Black Zetsu are not affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
If you think about it this way, there are not just one or two ways to resist the Infinite Tsukuyomi. In the past, due to lack of strength, none of them could reach it. But now, it’s not that there is no way out!
"It looks like you've been prepared!"
“I guess so!”
Orochimaru didn't ask any more questions.
"During this period, I read some of your research materials, and used your element detection method to measure the age of the earth. Combined with some ancient materials and myths and legends, I found some interesting things."
"oh?"
"About a thousand years ago, human genetic information underwent a great change, and diversity suffered a near-catastrophic disaster. However, in the next one or two hundred years, there was an explosive growth. This period of time was the era when the legendary Goddess of the Rabbit and the Sage of the Six Paths were active. Combined with what is happening now, I have some guesses and associations..."
"Really? Your discovery is really interesting..."
"You don't seem very surprised?"
Orochimaru seemed to have expected this.
"It seems that you know a lot of incredible things. Is this the reason for your strange behavior?"
“Not all of them…”
Mizuki was about to answer when he saw the battle situation in the distance suddenly change. The Allied Ninja Forces could no longer suppress the combined forces of Uchiha Madara and the Outer Path Demon Statue. The Nine-Strike Demon Chains instantly entangled all the tailed beasts and jinchūriki. The restraining power like a natural enemy made it impossible for those who used the tailed beasts' chakra to fight to resist.
"It's almost time, it's my turn!"
Nobumasa has done a good enough job. Although it is a bit slow, the situation is under control. Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke will soon fall into a state of suspended death, and then accept the gift from the Six Paths Sage, and the final battle is about to begin.
