Chapter 201: An Endless Dream
Back then, they were a group of young and immature Ninjas. To pass Byakuya's test, they had worked together to try and seize the bells.
And now, they had grown into powerful Ninjas, facing the strongest and most evil enemy—Madara, who had gathered both Rinnegan and obtained even further power.
"Naruto, Sasuke, do you remember the mission from our first assembly?" Byakuya suddenly said.
"Of course we remember," Naruto and Sasuke replied at the same time.
"Back then, although we fought individually at first, we eventually completed the mission through teamwork," Byakuya continued. "Now, we must be united, just like then, to defeat Madara."
Hearing Byakuya's words, both Naruto and Sasuke nodded.
They took a deep breath and launched their attack once more.
Led by Byakuya, Team 7 engaged in a fierce clash with Madara through teamwork.
They constantly coordinated and collaborated, seeking an opportunity to defeat Madara.
Finally, through their efforts, they began to gradually gain the upper hand.
Though Madara's attacks were still fierce, they no longer had the same overwhelming pressure as before.
"It looks like we have a chance," Byakuya said. "Keep it up!"
However, at that moment, Madara suddenly revealed a strange smile.
"Do you think you can defeat me like this?" Madara sneered. "How naive!"
With that, Madara's hands formed seals as he unleashed his strongest genjutsu—the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Instantly, the entire world was enveloped by the genjutsu.
Naruto, Sasuke, Byakuya, and the others all fell into the illusion.
They saw the things they desired most in the depths of their hearts and faced unprecedented challenges.
"What... what's going on?" Naruto struggled to break free from the influence of the genjutsu.
"Infinite Tsukuyomi..." Sasuke's expression was grave. "We must break it as soon as possible!"
The Infinite Tsukuyomi, the technique known as the strongest genjutsu, was finally unleashed by Madara.
Its power affected all living creatures; whether they were Ninjas or ordinary people, none could resist its influence.
The entire world was shrouded in an illusion, and people fell into an endless dream.
Ninjas and others were bathed in light, their faces blank as they gazed up at the full moon in the sky.
Their minds had been controlled by the genjutsu, and they lost their self-awareness, becoming puppets at Madara's mercy.
Tenten was also affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
She had been fighting hard on the battlefield, but as the genjutsu was unleashed, she suddenly felt a strong wave of sleepiness overcome her.
When she opened her eyes again, she was surprised to find herself back in Konoha Village.
"What's going on?" Tenten was somewhat confused.
She clearly remembered being on the battlefield; how did she suddenly return to the Village?
Tenten got up and walked around the Village, only to find that everything seemed so unreal.
The atmosphere in the Village was exceptionally peaceful, completely devoid of the tension and oppression of wartime.
The villagers were all living leisurely lives, their faces brimming with happy smiles.
"Is... is this a dream?" Tenten couldn't help but whisper to herself.
She couldn't accept this reality; it should have been a time of war, yet the Village was so peaceful and the villagers so happy.
All of it seemed so unreal, as if it were a fleeting dream.
Tenten wanted to find others to ask about the situation, but she realized something was wrong.
Just then, she saw two familiar figures—Guy and Lee.
"Guy-sensei, Lee!" Tenten shouted excitedly.
Guy and Lee turned their heads at the sound and saw Tenten.
"Tenten, why are you here?" Guy asked with some surprise.
"I don't know, I suddenly returned to the Village," Tenten explained. "Are you guys the same?"
Guy and Lee looked at each other, both showing confused expressions.
"That's right, so are we," Lee said. "We were clearly on the battlefield, but suddenly we were back in the Village."
Tenten looked at Guy and Lee and suddenly noticed something amiss.
"Guy-sensei, Lee, your hairstyles..." Tenten said, pointing at their hair.
Guy and Lee then realized that their hairstyles had changed to a side-part, and they were wearing cool-looking clothes of a style she had never seen them wear before.
"What is going on?" Guy also showed a look of consternation.
They clearly remembered that their hairstyles were normal, and they couldn't possibly wear this style of clothing.
Tenten took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
She carefully observed everything around her, trying to find a flaw.
Finally, she found something wrong.
"This is Genjutsu!" Tenten suddenly woke up. "We've fallen into Madara's Infinite Tsukuyomi!"
Hearing Tenten's words, Guy and Lee also came to a realization.
They remembered Madara's Genjutsu and the warnings from Naruto and the others.
It turned out they had been deluded by Genjutsu all along, trapped in a false dream.
"We must get out of the Genjutsu's influence as soon as possible!" Tenten said. "Otherwise, we'll become Madara's puppets!"
