Kill Again

"By the mandate of Heaven!"

Obito and Shisui shouted almost simultaneously, their eyes filled with worry and urgency.

When they saw Fengtian appear in their sight with a pained expression, the two of them ran towards him without hesitation.

"Don't...come...close...to...me..."

Fengtian used all his strength to squeeze out these words through gritted teeth. His voice was weak and trembling, and each word seemed to have taken a great deal of effort from him.

His eyes were filled with warning and struggle, as if he were experiencing unprecedented pain and torment.

Upon hearing this, Obito and Shisui involuntarily paused, exchanging bewildered glances.

But seeing Fengtian's pained and contorted face, they knew this was not the time to press for answers.

"Fengtian, what happened to you? Were you hurt?"

Obito asked anxiously, his voice filled with concern.

Shisui also frowned, his gaze fixed on Fengtian, ready to respond at any moment.

However, Fengtian remained silent. His face was contorted, and he was kneeling on the ground, covered in sweat. The pain that seemed to tear his soul apart continued to intensify!

Just before Fengtian was about to lose consciousness, he suddenly realized something and used the last bit of strength he had left to activate the [Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan]!

The next moment, an aura of [causal power] emerged, constantly surrounding him and altering the [causal] of the pain.

Finally, under the influence of this [force of cause and effect], the excruciating pain that tore at the soul gradually subsided, and Fengtian's face regained a sliver of color from its deathly pallor.

He was breathing heavily, sweat trickling down his face and dripping onto the ground with a soft sound.

Upon seeing this, Obito and Shisui quickly stepped forward and supported Fengtian on either side.

"Fengtian, are you alright?"

Obito asked with concern, his eyes filled with worry.

Zhi Shui also kept a close eye on Feng Tian, ​​fearing that something else might happen to him.

Fengtian slowly shook his head, his voice still somewhat weak:

"I'm alright now..."

"He won't die yet..."

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

The experience left him with lingering fear; the sudden pain felt as if it were tearing his soul apart.

If he hadn't used the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan at the last moment, using the power of cause and effect to change the cause and effect of the pain, he probably would have already fallen into a coma, and might never have woken up again.

"What exactly happened?"

Zhi Shui frowned and asked, sensing that things were not so simple.

Fengtian remained silent for a while, seemingly weighing how much information to reveal.

Finally, he spoke slowly, a hint of helplessness in his voice:

"It's just a backlash from my eye power..."

"As my pupil power continues to improve, this backlash begins to occur intermittently, bringing unbearable pain..."

"even……"

"I can also hear some strange auditory hallucinations."

When Shisui heard the word "auditory hallucination," a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He stared straight at Fengtian, his voice filled with obvious doubt:

"Hallucination? Fengtian, what did you hear?"

However, Fengtian simply shook his head slightly and chose to remain silent.

He knew that revealing certain secrets could trigger a chain reaction, bringing unnecessary trouble and danger.

Therefore, he chose to bury this heavy feeling deep in his heart.

Seeing this, Shisui, though still having many questions, understood that there must be a hidden reason behind Fengtian's reluctance to speak.

He sighed softly and didn't press the matter further.

After a brief silence, Fengtian's physical condition seemed to have gradually recovered by about 70-80%, and his complexion had softened considerably, no longer showing the pain he had shown before.

At this moment, Shisui spoke again, his tone tinged with urgency and curiosity:

"Where's Orochimaru? How is he? Why are you the only one who came back?"

No sooner had Shisui's question been raised than Obito, unable to contain himself, spoke first, his tone filled with undeniable confidence:

"Orochimaru is definitely dead... In the face of Fengtian, besides Madara, who else could defeat him? Is there even a question?"

Before Obito could finish speaking, Fengtian gently shook his head. His eyes became deep, as if he were looking through the scene before him and recalling the previous battles and encounters.

At this moment, he was able to barely activate the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, his eyes flashing with complex light.

Fengtian's movements were elegant and mysterious. He slightly raised his hand, and an indescribable power seemed to surge in the air—that was the power of cause and effect.

Under the influence of this force, illusory yet delicate "causal lines" quietly appeared before Shisui and Obito's eyes.

They intertwine to form a complex web, each strand representing the connection and destiny of all things in the world.

Fengtian gently manipulated these "causal threads," his gaze focused and profound, as if searching for a specific answer.

A moment later, he let out a soft sigh, his fingers precisely pinching one of the [causal threads], while the rest of the [causal threads] gradually disappeared before their eyes, as if drawn by an invisible force.

"This is?"

Obito asked curiously, his gaze fixed on the [causal thread] chosen by Fengtian.

"This is Orochimaru's [causal thread]."

Fengtian spoke slowly, his voice carrying a barely perceptible heaviness: "Look..."

As Fengtian finished speaking, he gently loosened the [causal thread] he was holding.

This causal link, which should have gradually dissipated, underwent a shocking change at the last moment.

It actually split off an extremely thin branch, and the life force on this branch was extremely weak, as if it would completely dissipate into nothingness at any moment.

However, this faint aura struck Shisui and Obito like a bolt of lightning.

This proves that Orochimaru is not truly dead!

He continues to exist in some corner of this world in a way that defies common sense and is extremely bizarre.

"How...how is this possible?"

Obito muttered to himself in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.

Fengtian's face remained calm, showing no surprise at the fact that Orochimaru had not truly died.

After all, he already knew that this opponent was not someone to be trifled with; his cunning and treachery were renowned throughout the ninja world.

"As you can see, he is not dead..."

Fengtian spoke calmly, his gaze profound, as if he had already foreseen the future:

"only……"

He paused slightly, then a faint, cold smile curled at the corner of his lips:

"For me, it's just killing again..."
