"Is this another world?" Deidara asked, looking at the surrounding wilderness and dim environment.
Orochimaru chuckled, "Indeed, the air is filled with the stench of conspiracy!"
After Lin Nan released the four members of the Akatsuki, he looked around. The surroundings were vast, desolate, and uninhabited, but in the distance, he could faintly hear noisy sounds and intermittent lights. His Tsukuyomi time should be inconsistent with the time here. The Tsukuyomi had two days, and if it were in reality, the war would have ended long ago.
"I sense surging chakra. Is it during wartime?" Kakuzu asked.
"War is good!" Hidan exclaimed excitedly.
Lin Nan created two wood clones and realized he was still wearing the Akatsuki clothes from the Tsukuyomi, not the red robe of the Edo Tensei. However, as Lin Nan blinked, the Akatsuki clothes burned away, restoring his red robe. Lin Nan didn't pay much attention and explained, "It's currently the Ninja World War. My wood clones will take you to the battlefield. I'll go ahead!" With that, Lin Nan's figure flashed with golden light and disappeared. Another wood clone of Lin Nan burrowed into the ground. The main body and the wood clone had clear divisions of labor, while the remaining wood clone was to head to Kabuto's location. Since Lin Nan's wood clone left at the main body's entry into the Tsukuyomi had also disappeared, Lin Nan naturally knew its location and could follow it.
Soon, Lin Nan arrived at Kabuto's location.
Kabuto said, "Your clone suddenly disappeared just now, I thought something had happened to you."
"How is the battlefield now?" Tsunade asked.
Lin Nan shook his head, "I didn't return from the battlefield, but there shouldn't be any problems." Orochimaru and Karin and the others had not arrived yet, meaning the First Hokage might not have reached the battlefield. It seemed the time that passed after he entered the Tsukuyomi was shorter than he had imagined.
"Kabuto, I have a question for you!" Lin Nan got straight to the point.
Kabuto nodded, "What do you want to know?"
"Regarding the amnesiac me that you previously mentioned being Edo Tensei, did I have no abilities?" Lin Nan asked.
Kabuto replied, "That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have destroyed it and then performed Edo Tensei on you!"
Lin Nan nodded, "Do you know about 'Tsukuyomi'? Did the masked man tell you about this?"
Kabuto shook his head, "He didn't say anything!"
Lin Nan then asked, "Do you still have muscle tissue from other members of the Akatsuki?"
Kabuto was taken aback, glancing at the surrounding Five Kage, clearly thinking this was not a place to say such things.
"It's fine, just tell me truthfully!" Lin Nan said.
Kabuto organized his thoughts and said, "For this ninja war, I have backups of muscle tissue from all the strong individuals resurrected by Edo Tensei. However, if you want to destroy them, I can do so. There is no longer any meaning in reviving them!"
Lin Nan shook his head, "That's not the issue. Also, do you have Kisame's muscle tissue?"
"Kisame?" Kabuto seemed a little confused about why Lin Nan was asking about Kisame.
"Yes, Kisame died while gathering intel, right? But if it were you, you would definitely back up his muscle tissue as a contingency, wouldn't you?" Lin Nan asked.
Kabuto chuckled, "Indeed, nothing escapes you. I have preserved the muscle tissue of everyone in the Akatsuki, even that masked man!"
"Masked man?" Lin Nan paused, then remembered the masked man in the battle with Root's twin flowers had abandoned an arm. As expected of the dream-making master Kabuto!
Since both Itachi Uchiha and Kisame's muscle tissue were preserved, Lin Nan was relieved. Although Kisame was portrayed as a villain, once everything calmed down, he would surely follow Itachi's orders, so reviving him was still feasible. Itachi Uchiha's lifelong wish had been fulfilled, and he was free of all burdens, so creating an Itachi Uchiha like in the Tsukuyomi was also possible. Lin Nan was full of fantasies about the future. With the four he brought, the Akatsuki would reappear in the ninja world, but this time not as a terrorist organization, but as a mercenary group! As for Pain, Nagato's soul was within his Totsuka Blade, so Edo Tensei was not an issue. However, Yahiko, Pain's original body, was a problem.
Originally, Lin Nan had no intention of rebuilding the Akatsuki. But after this experience in the Tsukuyomi, Lin Nan's mindset had changed. He didn't know why, but he felt that doing so would make his future days very comfortable.
...
"Crack!"
On the battlefield of the Fourth Great Ninja War, on the head of the giant Ten-Tails, Obito suddenly stopped.
"What is it?" Madara Uchiha asked.
Obito took out a crystal ball from his embrace, but it was covered in cracks.
"Tsukuyomi has been broken, and Lin Nan has escaped!" Obito said expressionlessly.
Madara Uchiha scoffed, "I knew this thing was useless. Let's quickly deal with these ants below and stop wasting time!"
"Ants can be crushed anytime. We need to destroy the enemy's brain and leader first!" Obito said coldly.
Madara Uchiha was stunned, then chuckled, "Why bother with such trouble for ants! But as you wish, you are the commander!"
Obito wasted no more words and immediately manipulated the Ten-Tails to use the "Tailed Beast Bomb" again.
"They're attacking, everyone take cover!" The vast ninja army, densely spread across the battlefield, stood ready. However, as the Ten-Tails released a giant Tailed Beast Bomb, like a meteor, it directly blasted towards the sky.
"Did it miss?" This was everyone's first thought.
"No!" Shikamaru reacted first, "He's trying to attack our command post!"
Upon hearing this, the assembled ninjas' faces changed. Shikamaru and Ino's faces turned instantly pale, as their fathers were in the command post.
"This is war!" Obito took in everyone's expressions. He looked at Naruto, whose Nine-Tails chakra was almost depleted, "Do you understand now?"
Naruto, shining with golden light, also watched the Tailed Beast Bomb fly towards the command post, but was helpless. A sense of powerlessness surged within him. Obito knew that at this moment, he had breached Naruto's first line of defense.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no explosion from the Tailed Beast Bomb. Obito's expression stiffened slightly.
"Bang!" Suddenly, a huge light flashed from the sea, but the sea was clearly not the location of the command post.
"Yo, I saw a big ball on the way here, so I helped you move it into the sea. Littering is uncivilized!" With a flash of golden light, a figure suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
