Deterrence

Although those elite ninjas risked their lives to intercept Fengtian and his group, the difference in strength was as insurmountable as an insurmountable chasm.

Kakuzu and Obito, like two invincible war gods, easily defeated those brave ninjas one by one.

Fengtian stood in a corner of the battlefield, nodded slightly, his face expressionless.

He stepped forward slowly and, under the tense and complex gazes of the crowd, gently pushed open the heavy door.

The creaking of the door hinges was particularly jarring in the quiet environment, as if foreshadowing some ominous sign.

"Wow!"

Just then, a tender yet mournful cry of a baby suddenly rang out, breaking the silence like a lone goose in the cold wind.

The voice was filled with helplessness and fear, evoking pity in the listener.

Fengtian's heart tightened suddenly. He knew that it was the voice coming from the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, Feng.

Without hesitation, he strode forward, walked through the dimly lit corridor, and soon arrived at Feng's side.

Feng was curled up in the corner, her small body trembling, tears and snot mingling together, her cries heart-wrenching.

Those innocent eyes were filled with terror and despair, as if the whole world had collapsed.

Fengtian squatted down, his gaze falling on Feng with tenderness and complex emotions.

A barely perceptible hint of guilt flashed deep in his eyes, a deep sense of self-reproach and helplessness.

He spoke softly, his voice deep and magnetic:

"I'm sorry..."

"That wasn't my original intention..."

Along the way, Fengtian killed far too many people.

The decision-makers, judges, arbitrators, and dozens of elite ninjas from Takigakure all died at Fengtian's hands!

It can be said that more than 80% of Takigakure's strength was lost at the hands of Fengtian alone!

Such a huge loss may tempt nearby forces that have been eyeing Takigakure Village to take action and plunder all of Takigakure Village's resources!

Especially now that Fengtian has taken away the Seven-Tailed Fox, those forces will become even more unscrupulous!

Upon thinking of this, a rare ripple appeared on Fengtian's face.

But I had no choice; I did this just to get home…

"Before returning home, I used all my eye power to unleash [Reversing Cause and Effect], correcting all this chaos..."

Fengtian muttered to himself, then placed his hand above Feng's abdomen and began to extract chakra.

Feng's cries gradually weakened, and as Fengtian's palm warmed, an indescribable power began to flow between him and Feng.

This time, without any interference, the chakra extraction was very fast.

In less than an hour, Fengtian had completely extracted the enormous chakra of the Seven-Tails.

As the Seven-Tails' chakra dissipates, Feng's life force is weakening at an alarming rate.

Looking at the scene before him, Fengtian sighed helplessly, and then his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan slowly began to operate.

A powerful force of cause and effect restored Feng's rapidly weakening life force.

"Wow!"

Upon hearing Feng's cries, Fengtian turned around and left the secret room.

He knew his behavior was somewhat saintly, but he couldn't help it. He had no grudge against the Jinchuriki, and as a beneficiary of nine years of compulsory education, he simply couldn't bring himself to take someone's life at will.

Moreover, I now have the ability to reverse cause and effect, so it's just a small favor.

"How did it go? Did it work?"

Upon seeing Fengtian emerge from the secret chamber, Obito couldn't help but ask a question.

Kakuzu, meanwhile, leaned coldly against the wall, awaiting Fengtian's reply.

"Yes, the process went smoothly..."

Fengtian nodded slightly in response to the two.

However, before Obito could speak, Kakuzu coldly said:

"Now that the mission is complete, what about my due reward?"

Upon hearing this, Fengtian's face remained completely expressionless.

He simply raised his hand slightly, and the [power of cause and effect] surrounded him.

Immediately afterwards, countless gold coins appeared out of thin air above, cascading down like a waterfall and instantly submerging the ground where Kakuzu stood into a golden sea.

"This is your reward, Kakuzu."

Fengtian said calmly, his tone carrying an unquestionable authority.

These gold coins did not come from anywhere, but were "borrowed" from some point in the future using the power of causality, as compensation for Kakuzu's service.

A hint of surprise flashed in Kakuzu's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He caught a handful of gold coins that flew towards him, examined them carefully, and then a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

"Very good, Fengtian, your methods always surprise people."

Obito, meanwhile, observed silently from the sidelines, growing increasingly wary of Fengtian's abilities.

He knew that although he was a member of the Twilight organization and shared the same goal as Fengtian, Fengtian's strength and methods had exceeded his expectations, which forced him to be more careful.

"So, what should we do next?"

Obito asked, trying to shift the topic away from Fengtian's abilities.

Fengtian looked up into the distance, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.

"There's one more thing I need to do..."

Fengtian spoke calmly, a hint of hatred flashing deep in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he left the underground and returned to the surface.

The next moment, as the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan slowly rotated, mysterious patterns spread out in its pupils, and an indescribable power quietly permeated the air.

Immediately afterwards, a black giant tens of meters tall—the Complete Susanoo—appeared before Kakuzu and Obito, like a demon god emerging from the abyss, inspiring awe.

In the hand of the [Complete Susanoo], an incomparably sharp longsword slowly materialized, its surface shimmering with a faint light of cause and effect, as if it could perceive all cause and effect in the world and judge life and death.

Fengtian named this sword the "Blade of Judgment"!

Without the slightest hesitation, Fengtian's mind stirred, and the [Complete Susanoo] wielded the [Blade of Judgment] like a mountain, fiercely slashing towards the distant, endless mountain range.

In an instant, sword energy surged forth, carrying destructive power, leveling the entire mountain range to the ground, raising dust that blotted out the sky.

Having done all this, Fengtian closed his eyes and concentrated, a strange fluctuation surrounding him, which was the essence of the technique of "reversing cause and effect".

He suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils seeming to sparkle with stars. His voice was amplified infinitely in that instant, transcending the limitations of space and time, reaching every corner within dozens of miles, allowing his voice to echo clearly in the ears of all forces:

"Those forces that want to spy on Takigakure..."

"Listen up!"

"If anyone dares to bully Takigakure after I leave..."

"So..."

"I will personally visit you and slaughter you all!!!"
