Naruto: Reborn as Orochimaru-Chapter 393

It was a large-scale genjutsu of immense range—a world-ending technique that could only be activated by those who possessed the Rinne Sharingan.

At the same time, it was also the key to unlocking the seal of the Six Paths - Chibaku Tensei.

Long ago, Hamura and Hagoromo had used the Six Paths - Chibaku Tensei to seal Kaguya inside the moon.

This jutsu utilized the power of the Six Paths.

Thus, undoing the seal also required the power of the Six Paths!

The blinding moonlight illuminated the night as if it were day!

Everyone bathed in this light had their pupils transformed, rippled patterns forming in their eyes as they gazed blankly at the sky.

Within this brilliant radiance, only a white Susanoo remained, protecting a handful of individuals who were still conscious.

"What a terrifying technique!"

Jiraiya, standing inside Orochimaru's Susanoo, was visibly horrified.

After Orochimaru emerged, he had teleported Guy here using the Flying Thunder God Technique, marking his location beforehand.

Then, he activated Susanoo, shielding several people from the jutsu.

At this moment, aside from Uchiha Madara himself, only those inside Susanoo remained unaffected.

Everyone else had fallen—even Namikaze Minato and the others nearby were no exception!

"This… isn't this too exaggerated?"

Tsunade, watching the light-soaked sky and the numerous Kage-level shinobi instantly subdued, was shocked.

At the same time, the God Tree had begun wrapping its captured victims in branches, pulling them upward and draining their chakra.

If not for Orochimaru's Susanoo, they too would have been ensnared and enslaved by the technique.

Infinite Tsukuyomi was ultimately just an advanced genjutsu.

However, to resist it, one required the Rinnegan.

Originally, Sasuke, with just one Rinnegan, had been able to shield his group using Susanoo.

The same was true for Orochimaru now.

Of course, if Orochimaru himself hadn't possessed the Rinnegan, he never would have taken the risk of reviving Madara.

"Judging by its scale, this should cover the entire world." Orochimaru murmured.

Back when Kaguya activated Infinite Tsukuyomi, there was no moon to amplify it, which limited its range.

But this time, with the moon's assistance, no corner of the ninja world would be spared.

"The whole world…"

Uchiha Mikoto turned to Orochimaru.

"Lord Orochimaru, are you really certain? If this jutsu cannot be undone, won't we…"

"Relax."

Orochimaru cut her off effortlessly.

"Since when have you ever seen me do something I wasn't confident about?"

"But in this situation, no one else can help you anymore. You're on your own."

Even Tsunade was concerned.

Although she had absolute faith in Orochimaru, she knew his true goal was to resurrect Kaguya.

And given the battle they had just witnessed.

Even if Orochimaru could defeat Madara, would he really be able to handle Kaguya?

"I know. Just leave it to me! You all stay here."

With those words, Orochimaru deactivated Susanoo and vanished.

While they were talking, the dazzling radiance of Infinite Tsukuyomi had already begun to fade.

By the time they processed Orochimaru's words, he had already flown far away, leaving Tsunade and the others unable to object.

Because in their memories, Orochimaru had never once done something reckless…

---

Madara descended slowly to the ground, where Zetsu emerged beside him.

Since Black Zetsu was the manifestation of Kaguya's will, and White Zetsu was a byproduct of Infinite Tsukuyomi, neither was affected by the technique.

Watching Orochimaru appear before him once again, Madara wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Boy, there shouldn't be anyone left to interfere now, right? Do you still want to continue fighting?"

"No."

"Hmm? Have you finally come to your senses?"

"No."

Orochimaru smiled.

"I just wanted to tell you something."

"…Something? What is it?"

Madara frowned.

"A shinobi should never turn his back on an enemy. Surely, you know this better than I do."

Before Madara could react, Black Zetsu's hand had already pierced through his chest from behind.

"Sorry, Madara."

Black Zetsu's hoarse voice echoed like a whisper from the underworld.

"…Zetsu?! …My body… I can't move?!"

Madara's expression twisted in disbelief.

"Why?!"

At his level, no one should have been able to sneak up on him.

The only one who could was someone he completely trusted.

He had always believed that Black Zetsu was a manifestation of his own will.

So he had never been on guard against him.

But now…

At this moment, all of Madara's previous doubts suddenly made sense.

It turned out Black Zetsu had betrayed him?

But his own will… betraying him?

How could that be possible?!

"…Because I was never something you created."

Black Zetsu's voice was low and sinister.

Before Madara could fully process the revelation, Black Zetsu's energy surged, spreading rapidly.

As his chakra pulsed outward.

The God Tree that had unleashed Infinite Tsukuyomi began to shrink rapidly!

And Madara, who stood beside the tree, was suddenly entangled by its roots.

Forced to watch himself being swallowed alive!

Immobilized by Black Zetsu's power, he couldn't resist at all!

Long ago, Black Zetsu had used this very technique to ambush Madara, absorbing the chakra of the Allied Shinobi Forces through the God Tree—reviving Kaguya.

And now, history was repeating itself.

But this time, with the complete Nine Tailed Beasts used for the resurrection, the chakra of the Allied Forces wasn't even necessary.

Gradually, the God Tree transformed into an enormous sphere, encasing Madara as his power was forcibly extracted!

Soon, the sphere lost its tree-like features.

And from its center, long, flowing silver hair began to grow.

The strands, though slow at first, were visibly lengthening.

"Mother, I can finally see you again!"

Black Zetsu trembled, his voice filled with emotion.

For over a thousand years, he had waited.

Now, with Orochimaru's assistance, his plan was finally complete.

Orochimaru watched the scene calmly.

Suddenly—

The growing white hair seemed to sense Orochimaru as a threat.

A strand shot out, lengthening at blinding speed, as sharp as steel needles, aiming straight for him!

But—

Orochimaru was prepared.

With a quick teleportation, he reappeared to the side, a smirk playing on his lips.

"You haven't even fully resurrected, and you're already trying to silence opposition? Haha, now this… this is getting interesting."
