Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Continuous Reversals! Infinite Tsukuyomi Activated!
"Look at the moon!"
Suddenly, Senju Tobirama exclaimed, immediately capturing everyone's attention.
As one, the group turned their gazes toward the moon.
At that moment, the moon bore the pattern of a Rinnegan with nine tomoe, as if it had transformed into a massive eye suspended high in the sky!
An eerie, mysterious aura emanated from the moon, casting an unsettling presence.
Simultaneously, a voice suddenly reached the ears of the stunned crowd: "Without a doubt, the Infinite Tsukuyomi is about to be activated!"
The moment the voice sounded, several figures leaped forward, appearing before the group!
At the forefront stood Uchiha Madara, and behind him were none other than Uchiha Sasuke, Orochimaru, Suigetsu Hōzuki, and others!
"Uchiha Madara!"
"Orochimaru?!"
"Sasuke?!"
Shouts of surprise erupted from the crowd.
Immediately afterward, many prepared to attack Uchiha Madara!
"Stop!"
Hashirama Senju shouted loudly, revealing yet another shocking secret: "Don't act recklessly! Madara is on our side!"
"What?!"
"How is that possible?!"
Even Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze wore expressions of utter bewilderment. None of them had expected such a twist!
Quickly, Tsunade voiced her doubts: "That doesn't make sense, Grandpa. According to the intelligence we've gathered, the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan was orchestrated behind the scenes by Uchiha Madara. Even Uchiha Obito was merely his pawn! The current situation is just a result of Obito breaking free from his control!"
Most of those present were aware of this, which was why their expressions remained filled with suspicion.
"There's no time to explain in detail, but the real mastermind behind this conspiracy is Black Zetsu!"
Hashirama's gaze remained fixed on Uchiha Obito in the sky as he said gravely, "And his goal in activating the Infinite Tsukuyomi isn't as simple as plunging the world into an eternal dream. He aims to resurrect an incredibly terrifying enemy! That person will be our true adversary!"
Hearing this, everyone around them was dumbfounded.
It wasn't that they were slow-witted—it was just that the reversals had come too quickly, and the sheer volume of information was overwhelming. Even they needed time to process it all!
Ignoring the reactions of those around him, Uchiha Madara turned to Orochimaru and said, "Prepare to perform the Impure World Reincarnation!"
"Impure World Reincarnation?"
The group was once again stunned.
At a critical moment like this, who else needed to be reincarnated?
"No problem!"
Orochimaru licked his lips excitedly, then glanced at the Second Hokage. "Time is tight. If Lord Second could assist me, it would be greatly appreciated!"
Tobirama Senju, currently in a reincarnated body himself, couldn't perform the technique, but as its creator, he could certainly help Orochimaru prepare the complex seals required.
"Tobirama!" Hashirama called out to his brother.
Even now, Tobirama still hadn't fully grasped what his brother was planning or what they were about to face.
However, out of trust in Hashirama, Tobirama immediately agreed. "Understood!"
With that, he began assisting Orochimaru in preparing for the Impure World Reincarnation.
Orochimaru grinned. "I never imagined I'd one day collaborate with the Second Hokage to perform the Impure World Reincarnation. What an honor!"
Truth be told, no one present could have predicted the series of unbelievable events unfolding before them.
Uchiha Madara and Hashirama, however, had no time for lengthy explanations. After assigning roles and preparing everyone for battle, they took their positions at the forefront of the group, standing side by side, vigilant and ready.
At the same time, Black Zetsu in the sky also noticed Uchiha Madara and Hashirama standing together.
"That bastard Madara… has he truly figured something out?" Black Zetsu muttered in disbelief. "But he was dead until recently, only reincarnated by Kabuto not long ago. How could he have noticed anything amiss and coordinated so many plans with Hashirama?"
No matter how much he pondered, he couldn't make sense of it.
Of course, there was no way he could have known that before Madara was reincarnated by Kabuto and Hashirama by Orochimaru, both had been reincarnated through a transdimensional Impure World Reincarnation by another individual. In another world, they had already devised a strategy to counter both him and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki!
However, at that very moment, a mysterious connection suddenly formed between the moon and Uchiha Obito.
Sensing this change, Black Zetsu sneered coldly. "The eternal dream begins now! No matter what schemes you've concocted, in the face of Mother's absolute power, they will all crumble into despair!"
The next instant—
The Infinite Tsukuyomi was activated!
"Huh? Why did it suddenly get so bright?"
"Look! The moon looks strange!"
"It's true… There's actually a woman's silhouette in the moon!"
"Is this the start of the Infinite Tsukuyomi?"
On the ground, whether it was the shinobi retreating under Hashirama's orders or ordinary civilians far from the battlefield, everyone exclaimed in shock.
But soon, they all fell into a daze, their eyes taking on the appearance of the Rinnegan as they stood motionless, like puppets.
At the same time—
BOOM!
Countless trees suddenly erupted from the ground, their white tendrils stretching out like tentacles, wrapping around the entranced people and cocooning them like silkworms on the branches!
Those ensnared were trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi's genjutsu, their energy rapidly being drained away.
Witnessing this, Black Zetsu couldn't contain his excitement.
But his joy was short-lived.
Because in the next moment, he saw Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara take action!
