Chapter 1255 Changes
The slightly noisy world is finally clean.
The power of the Infinite Tsukuyomi swept across the entire ninja world. On the chaotic battlefield, apart from the few filthy earth bodies who were still futilely cutting open the large cocoons hanging from the branches of the sacred branches, trying to rescue their acquaintances, only Madara Uchiha and Madara Uchiha were left. Black Zetsu, the surviving White Zetsu clone, and the seventh team of Konoha Village who were protected by Uchiha Sasuke's Susanoo.
The Infinite Tsukuyomi is not an illusion that takes effect immediately, but uses a period of energy to be vented, so that all creatures in the ninja world are affected, even combat partners who have not had time to cancel the psychic contract are affected.
Only true "otherworldly creatures", such as Uchiha Sasuke's flying mount - Garda the Condor, the life inside the three semi-independent psychic beast holy lands, and the souls belonging to the Pure Land, can be exempted from damage. Others , are not immune.
In fact, having mastered the part that makes the Infinite Tsukuyomi effective, using the "Cradle Garden" to simulate the moon, and allowing the effects of this technique to spread, Daimaru naturally has a way to slightly suppress its scope.
However, Uncle "Red Sand", who had other ideas, didn't want to meddle too much.
The drastic change from night to day took nearly three minutes. When the light of Infinite Tsukuyomi completely dimmed and the starry sky returned to its shining appearance, Daimaru walked out of the "Cradle Garden".
When he came to a dense "cocoon" area, he broke one of them casually, revealing Temari's pretty face.
His blond hair with a ponytail was slightly messy, and his cheeks were stained with a little dirt from the battle. Daimaru gently wiped them away, and saw that his vital signs were stable, and he even had a soothing smile on his face. It seemed that he was living a good life in the genjutsu. It looked good, and Daimaru felt a little relieved.
Compared to other secret techniques of the Blood Succession Snare, the Infinite Tsukuyomi is relatively harmless. As long as it is not converted into White Zetsu due to being closed for a long time, it will not cause irreversible damage.
With good timing, the physical damage caused by Infinite Tsukuyomi is minimal, but the indirect impact on the spirit is real.
"Father, are you a little reluctant to let go?"
Hiroyuki emerged from the somewhat deserted ground, opened the top cover, and the little Kashiwagi, who was having a great time, opened a small parasol and hugged Daimaru's arms affectionately; later, the man who had been calmly adjusting behind the scenes Chaogan walked out of the illusion space and stretched out his hand, trying to pull away the vines of the sacred tree that were once again spreading, so that Temari could escape from the restraints, but was stopped by Daimaru.
"Okay, she'll be fine!"
Daimaru patted the heads of the two little guys lovingly and said softly,
"Next, if we win, this will be a sweet dream; if we lose, the ninja world will be gone, let her live a happy life in the illusion space of infinite Tsukuyomi!"
Chaoyan asked puzzledly:
"If something happens, wouldn't it be safer to take her away?"
"You are still young, and people's hearts are complicated. You cannot make a decision by simply weighing the pros and cons..."
Seeing Temari once again being wrapped into a cocoon by the wood release vines, Daimaru smiled helplessly,
"It is quite difficult to choose between being shrouded in despair and living in panic all day long, or spending the rest of your life in false happiness..."
Sometimes, living is a curse and a kind of suffering. Although death seems cowardly and irresponsible, it is also a relief.
Why does a place like the Pure Land exist to provide eternal rest for the souls of the dead? No one can be pure after death, and even a living person feels that life is hopeless.
Just like Daimaru's previous life, whether it was heaven, hell, Yama or the God of Death, they were all visions spurred by the fear of the afterlife.
The birth of these "artificial elves" in front of them is so difficult. They have just embarked on the journey of life and have not yet considered death, but... this day will come.
"Father, did you not ask her if she agreed with the way you arranged for Sister Temari?"
Asagao asked softly, very puzzled. The two of them were obviously very close, but at the critical moment, Daimaru planned the future of the surrounding relatives and friends, and even the ninja world, without consulting Temari.
"It's precisely because I knew she wouldn't agree that I didn't ask!"
Daimaru responded calmly,
"I hope that in the world of her infinite Tsukuyomi illusion space, I will still be the wise, mighty, omnipotent 'red sand'..."
"What will happen if we lose the battle?"
"To remove the Infinite Tsukuyomi, you need to gather all the tailed beasts and people with the Rinnegan to form the Seal. It can also be done by two people working together. I estimate that the Ten-Tailed Jinchuuriki also has this ability, but I can't guarantee that it will be perfect... "
Daimaru thought for a while and then said,
"If the backup plan I arranged does not take effect, you will mount this 'big cocoon' between the 'Sara Double Trees' in the 'Cradle Garden' and wait for the 'brave' to come out of the long river of time to lift it." Sleeping Beauty's curse, wake her up..."
Xiao Baimu stuck out his tongue with a smile and chuckled:
"Father, you have protected Sister Temari so closely. You are not even willing to let her witness the reality of the world after the world is destroyed and sink forever. She will bear too much unnecessary pressure and responsibility. Mother and Sister Yakumo will be unhappy. of……"
Temari, who is missed, can just wait for the final result. Kurama Yakumo and Miss Saya still have to "work" in their respective fields according to the plan.
Daimaru spread his hands helplessly.
"Under the infinite Tsukuyomi, I can't successfully mobilize the power of many believers in the ninja world. There is not much savings in the 'Cradle Garden'. I don't dare to use the consecutive tricks like before..."
It is not an easy task to kill a Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki cleanly and neatly, even if it is just a half-disabled and inferior thing.
Not to mention the various preparations made before the war, in order for Otsutsuki Toneri to go on the path he wanted, the involvement and balance of various forces did not know how much energy and strength was spent.
Now, all the chips are up, and the trump cards are almost revealed, and we are just waiting for the winner of Konoha Ninja Team 7 to make the final decision.
"By the way, Father, what do you think Sister Temari is doing in the world of genjutsu?"
Curious little Baimu encouraged,
"There is still time, should we go in and see if Chaoyan's contract power can be put to use..."
"Well?"
Daiwan, who was a little excited, thought about it for a while, then shook his head and rejected the little guy's suggestion.
"Who wants their daydream to be uncovered by others and turned upside down? I don't want her to become extremely embarrassed and ashamed when she wakes up..."
"Oh well!"
Apart from the sound of the whistling night wind, this world has no other abnormalities, which is very consistent with the original goals of Uchiha Madara, Nagato and others.
The so-called ultimate peace is right before our eyes.
At the end of the line of sight, the aftermath of the battle between Uchiha Madara, already the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki, and Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Hatake Kakashi and Haruno Sakura was clearly visible.
There, a key battle to determine the future of the ninja world is underway.
"Are we going to watch like this?"
Xiao Baimu was eager to try it. He really didn't want to miss such a lively scene. Unfortunately, there was no need for it for the time being.
"The current 'manipulator' has changed. The Immortal of Six Paths has ended. We don't need to do it ourselves. It's even... better not to get too close."
We can trust the integrity of the Sage of Six Paths, but Daimaru's stance is not entirely consistent with his.
The drastic changes in the ninja world are a great danger, but also a good opportunity to redistribute interests.
Just when Daimaru was staring at the movements of all parties, always ready to quell his dissatisfaction, his expression suddenly changed.
"You guys, please stay here first. If you encounter an enemy that doesn't look right, then retreat to the 'Cradle Garden' and let Miss Saya carry out the backup plan..."
Daimaru said that, without waiting for the little guys to respond, he quickly passed through the illusion space channel and came to a huge mountain city shrouded in an illusory sky.
In the center, shaded by huge towering plants, a round mountain emitting light green smoke and filled with hot water vapor fell into view.
The core of Mt. Myouki is actually an incredibly huge active volcano.
At this moment, Nagato's dirty body and Rasa stood on the giant Yata bird that was channeled, looking down at the bright red-skinned toad under the rolling magma, with flames spitting out of its nostrils and gurgling mouths. , rolling lava, eyeing the uninvited guest in the sky.
"Iwajuku Big Toad?"
Daimaru asked with a headache,
"Did you offend it, or did it make an unfriendly move?"
Daiwan was very afraid of creatures like toads, whose entire body, apart from their mouths, was a stomach.
In essence, this is a very ferocious, greedy and somewhat stupid amphibian. As long as it can swallow any living creature that can move, it will become its prey. This is their survival instinct, and it will not be affected by Miaomu Mountain. The toad disappeared because of its intelligence, but its self-control ability made its superior instincts evolved over countless years more obscure and efficient.
Jiraiya once used the intestines of the Iwajuku giant toad to channel his spirit to the ninja world, trapping Uchiha Itachi and Mikigaki Kisame. In order to escape Jiraiya's pursuit, Uchiha Itachi even used Amaterasu.
"Just now outside...when the moon was shining brightly, there seemed to be some strange movement in Miaomu Mountain..."
Nagato's filthy earth body responded,
"We haven't found the reason yet, but the natural energy concentration of Miaomu Mountain seems to have dropped a lot. The central volcano also trembled frequently, and there seemed to be signs of eruptions and earthquakes. Then, this big guy seemed to show a lot of hostility... "
Miaomu Mountain occupies a very vast area. Most of the area is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters and rich products. Only in this volcanic crater area with rolling magma, is it covered with rock formations after cooling of lava. The volcanic ash it spews out from time to time is also a source of energy for the surrounding areas. Animals and plants provide abundant nutrients.
This was a promised land blessed by nature, but it was taken over by a group of powerful toads.
Perhaps, because of the performance of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, the natural energy of the entire ninja world was quickly absorbed, which also indirectly affected the stability of Mt. Myoki.
After all, it is a semi-independent "holy land" that is not completely separated from the ninja world.
The most direct impact is to make the habitat of the Iwajuku giant toad unstable.
"Want to fight?"
Luo Sha asked hesitantly,
"I'm sure I'm not afraid of taking action, but...this is their home court. Whether it's necessary to break up or not, we have to carefully consider..."
"I see!"
After Daimaru thought for a while, he responded, and then said loudly to the palace in the center of the mountains, forests and swamps crisscrossed by rivers:
"I have arrived as I was invited. Why didn't you receive me? Great Toad Immortal, am I still awake?"
Not long after he finished speaking, Gamabunta, who was wrapped in bandages, crawled out of the cave where he lived, blew his pipe and said:
"Come in, we've been waiting for a long time!"
Because Shima Sennin and Fukasaku Sennin assisted Jiraiya in the war and have not returned yet, and the three brothers Gamabunta, Gamahiro and Gamaken were seriously injured by Uchiha Obito earlier and did not return to the front line.
"Your injuries are almost healed, why are you still wearing such a thick bandage?"
"I didn't have time to dismantle it..."
The angry guy replied somewhat unhappily,
"It's really a shame that he was beaten to pieces before he was put to much use!"
Even against Kyuubi, Gamabunta, who had the strength to fight, lost so miserably, it was really unacceptable.
Fortunately, the environment of Miaomu Mountain is very suitable for recovering from injuries. With the support of the livable environment and various magical medicines, there is no serious problem for a long time.
"It seems to be more dangerous outside. I don't know what happened to Jiraiya and Naruto..."
"It's okay, at least it's okay now!"
As Daimaru spoke, he followed Gamabunta through the long corridor and came to an empty hall. The big guy whose real name was Gamamaru was dozing on the throne enshrined in the center.
After Daimaru got closer, the Great Toad Sento woke up on his own initiative and looked in Daimaru's direction.
After staring for a long time, he murmured and sighed:
"It turns out it's you. That's what happened. No wonder..."
"Why, you invited me here earlier and you just said these words?"
If these are still the so-called prophecies that deceived Jiraiya and were shrouded in clouds and fog, I would forgive Mr. "Red Dust" for not accompanying him.
"Don't worry, young man!"
As he spoke, Tomamaru showed a kind expression and asked slowly,
"Are you satisfied with the way the ninja world is now?"
"What do you mean?"
Daimaru asked in confusion. Gamamaru laughed a few times and then continued to explain:
"Let me put it another way, which direction do you think is more satisfactory for the development of the ninja world in the future?"
"Is this all you care about?"
Daimaru curled his lips,
"It doesn't matter what the ninja world has become. The most important thing is that Suna Ninja and I are still standing..."
"Actually, I didn't do anything to you in the first place, right? Rather, you're living a pretty comfortable life..."
"If you put it that way, it's not bad..."
"But you're not satisfied yet, are you?"
Gamamaru's squinted eyes opened a little,
"Wandering soul from the eternal void beyond destiny, if you still regard the ninja world as your home, please keep some harmless possibilities! It is because of this that in the ninja world, humans can become the spirit of all things. Today, maybe in the future, you will be like us, replacing the old with a new generation, who can say for sure?"
