: Alteration of Cause and Effect

My thoughts drifted back to half an hour ago...

"Very well, I'll accept the One-Tailed Chakra..."

Fengtian said with a smug look on his face, and then reached out his hand to Gaara, who was fast asleep.

Gaara's body appeared exceptionally thin under the moonlight, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

Fengtian's fingers gently touched Gaara's forehead, and at that moment, a strange fluctuation seemed to permeate the air.

Under his control, a vast and surging chakra, like an ancient beast awakened, slowly emerged from Iara's body and finally condensed in Fengtian's palm.

"The speed at which it absorbs chakra is quite fast. Is it because it has just become a Jinchūriki and hasn't fully integrated yet, so it absorbs chakra more quickly?"

As the chakra ball in his hand became more and more refined, Fengtian couldn't help but sigh.

However, the ear-piercing sounds of fierce fighting from Scorpion's side still reached his ears, which inevitably made him feel a little anxious.

To avoid any accidents, he had no choice but to speed up the extraction of chakra.

As time flew by, all of Gaara's One-Tailed Chakra was extracted.

At this moment, Gaara, having lost the One-Tailed Chakra, appeared extremely fragile, his life force flickering in the wind as if it might be extinguished at any moment.

His face was as pale as paper, his breathing was weak, and even the slightest tremor of his eyelashes seemed so feeble, as if the whole world had already left him.

Fengtian watched Gaara quietly, who was on the verge of death, a hint of pity flashing deep in his eyes.

"Gaara, you're a pitiful person too, but unfortunately, I'm not a good person either, so..."

"I'm sorry..."

Fengtian spoke in a low voice, his words carrying a hint of apology.

Having completed the extraction of chakra, Fengtian directly used the "Reversal of Cause and Effect" technique to modify the "cause" of the One-Tailed Beast's chakra in his possession, transforming it into the "effect" that could temporarily reside within the "Mangekyou Sharingan."

In short, he stored the One-Tailed Blade's chakra into his own personal "Kamui Dimension," which he named "Destiny Dimension"...

Without much hesitation, Fengtian picked up the extremely weak Gaara, and with a thought, prepared to release the Flying Thunder God Technique to send Gaara back to his room.

"Forehead....."

Just then, Gaara, who had been unconscious due to the illusion, miraculously showed signs of waking up. He struggled desperately, as if fighting against his unjust fate.

Fengtian looked down at Gaara's youthful face, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

After a moment of silence, he sighed helplessly, his voice revealing an indescribable struggle and determination:

"Alright, I'm not used to being a pure villain... Gaara, let me change your tragic future..."

Having said that, Fengtian no longer hesitated. His eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light, the unique brilliance and mystery of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

At the same time, a large amount of chakra gathered in his eyes like a tide, and an unprecedented power surged within his body. It was a sign that the [Reversal of Cause and Effect] technique had been pushed to its limit.

"What the hell is this? I feel like all my strength is being drained away..."

Fengtian gasped in disbelief and anguish.

He realized that the cost of changing this "cause" far exceeded his expectations; it was an extreme drain that almost completely drained him.

However, despite enduring such immense pressure and pain, Gaara's fading life force began to slowly but steadily recover under the power of the "reversal of cause and effect" by the heavens.

At the same time, Fengtian's eyes began to feel intense discomfort, and blood dripped from the corners of his eyes like beads from a broken string, staining his face red.

"Gaara, consider this something I owe you!" Feng Tian gritted his teeth, a glint of madness and determination flashing across his face. "I'll fight!"

The chakra within his body seemed to have lost control, frantically converging towards his eyes, while the aura of cause and effect spread continuously around him, forming a strange and mysterious field.

In this space, the boundaries of time and space seem to become blurred, and everything is rewoven and redefined under the will of Fengtian.

.......

Gaara's room

At this moment, Yashamaru's face was contorted with regret and self-blame.

"Why? I can't even do this simple thing right! Is the gap between me and others really that big...?"

His voice was low and hoarse, like a dried leaf trembling helplessly in the wind.

He pounded the floor frantically, each strike seemingly an outpouring of his pain and helplessness, until his fists were covered in blood. He didn't even notice, mechanically repeating the action.

In that moment of despair and self-blame, Yashamaru keenly sensed a subtle fluctuation in the surrounding space.

He suddenly looked up, his eyes blazing, staring intently at the space that was rippled, as if trying to see right through it.

The next moment, Fengtian's figure appeared before him like a ghost, holding tightly in his arms Gaara, whom he had sworn to protect with his life.

Yashamaru's pupils suddenly contracted, and his voice trembled with anger:

"It's you!"

Without a second thought, he quickly manipulated the chakra threads and fired several sharp kunai at Fengtian.

However, to his shock, Fengtian, who had been so swift before, was now unable to dodge these kunai, and his body was slashed with several shocking bloody marks.

"Ahem!"

Despite the discomfort in his eyes, Fengtian withstood Yashamaru's attack and tossed Gaara into the air. In the next instant, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to swiftly escape the scene...

Seeing this, Yashamaru didn't bother chasing Fengtian anymore. He rushed towards the direction Gaara was falling and caught him.

Gaara appeared in his hand very quickly.

Yashamaru looked down at Gaara, who was fast asleep, and quickly checked Gaara's body. After finding that Gaara was just asleep and was not seriously injured, he breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

His gaze fell in the direction where Fengtian had disappeared, a strange expression on his face; it was unclear what he was thinking...

.......

At this moment, Fengtian, having exhausted his last bit of chakra, used the Flying Thunder God Technique to reach Shisui's side and then began to shout loudly:

"Quick! Zhishui! Let's get out of here!"

He covered his bleeding eyes with one hand and staggered toward Zhishui.

At this moment, he was no longer as composed as before; he seemed to have fallen into endless darkness.

Seeing this, Zhi Shui quickly stepped forward to help Feng Tian up, and then said with concern:

"What happened? What's going on?"

"Quick! Run! My eyes! My vision is blurring..."

"I can't see clearly anymore..."
