Youth Version of Infinite Tsukuyomi

The night the seed of the God Tree descended, it could be seen throughout the entire continent.

Countless humans and animals were lured here.

Due to the natural concentration of pollutants, the animals at this time were significantly larger than those in the later Shinobi World period.

Only their human appearance is similar to that of the Shinobi World of later generations, but that's only in appearance.

At this time, the human body is constantly being strengthened by the Natural Energy absorbed into it, resulting in extremely powerful physique and strength.

Compared to the weak ninjas of later generations, it was a world of difference; humanity remained the protagonist of this era and the master of this planet.

Both humans and animals possessed incredibly strong physiques, but they were still no match for Orochimaru and Rasa.

It wasn't just because their bodies had been completely strengthened from the inside out by true essence; their physical abilities alone put them far ahead of other creatures of this era.

More importantly, the ninjas have been fighting for a thousand years thanks to the nerfed version of Chakra spread by the Sage of Six Paths.

They performed rituals inside a snail shell, demonstrating that the ninjas' various skills had reached their pinnacle.

Not to mention Orochimaru and Rasa, two figures who stand at the top of the ninja world.

Humans and animals of this era could not even perceive Orochimaru and Rasa, let alone be their enemies; it was as if the two of them did not exist at all.

No living thing fights against the air, nor does it make enemies of unseen entities.

Orochimaru and Rasa approached the God Tree slowly but without leaving a trace. When they were less than a kilometer away from the sapling, the two stopped.

A faint white light enveloped the area in front of the two people who had stopped.

It was daytime, and the white light was very faint, almost imperceptible without close inspection. However, both of them were professional ninjas.

It was clearly noticeable that the area ahead was slightly brighter than this place.

The difference is particularly noticeable on both sides of the boundary.

Instead of recklessly rushing inside, the two began to observe the area from the spot.

If this were still in the Shinobi World, the two would have used Summoning Technique to test each other, but unfortunately this is two thousand years ago.

Rasa, even the existence of the entire Ryūchi Cave, which Orochimaru contracted, is questionable, and the birth of the White Snake Sage is also a mystery.

And so, Orochimaru and Rasa waited patiently in place.

A week later, the two had moved back several meters because the area covered by the white light had expanded.

Orochimaru and Rasa made almost no other moves except to retreat when the white light spread.

As for eating and sleeping?

The Natural Energy became increasingly concentrated. Surrounded by a liquid ocean of Natural Energy, even without doing anything, the Natural Energy kept penetrating into the body.

What's the point of eating or sleeping?

It's true that you can eat air; not only do you feel no hunger or drowsiness, but you also become more energetic and stronger.

A cultivator who cannot consume true essence is not a qualified ninja.

Orochimaru and Rasa were not only qualified ninjas, but also among the best.

Over the course of a week, Orochimaru and Rasa watched as at least dozens of humans and hundreds of various animals Earth Flow into the white light without any warning.

Everyone who entered the white light range reacted in the same way.

Whether human or animal, once inside the range of white light, their eyes become unfocused and numb.

But this numbness was fleeting, and soon all the humans and animals had a look of comfort and ease in their eyes, and their expressions were full of satisfaction.

Orochimaru and Rasa even saw a spider the size of a human head with a satisfied expression on its face.

As for why the two could see such complex expressions on the spider, it was purely a matter of their perception.

Then, these humans and animals would close their eyes, revealing only expressions of satisfaction, and spontaneously walk deeper into the area.

This must be some kind of powerful Genjutsu!

An arm appeared out of nowhere and made a sign language gesture, which Orochimaru understood.

Not only that, this should be the prototype of Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Orochimaru thought to himself, "I need to know more."

Orochimaru concluded that it was also one of the God Tree's self-defense mechanisms.

Even ordinary plants either release pheromones, emit pungent odors, or camouflage themselves with colors, possessing their own defense mechanisms.

Not to mention such a peculiar God Tree; without some means, it would probably be uprooted and destroyed by various creatures before its fruit even ripens.

[I'm planning to go in and take a look, Rasa- kun, keep cover!]

After responding with a gesture in return, Orochimaru walked towards the area covered by the white light.

Even Ren's ordinary Sharingan's Gold Binding Technique could completely subdue Orochimaru, indicating that Orochimaru's resistance to Genjutsu is extremely low.

Faced with the youthful version of Infinite Tsukuyomi, Orochimaru made no special preparations and simply charged in.

It wasn't that Orochimaru became less stable; having understood the true history and combined it with the nature of Chakra, Orochimaru also deduced many things.

Ren is able to deduce information about the Sage of Six Paths based on discordant details in the original work and his own experiences.

Orochimaru can also make many guesses based on history and the characteristics of Chakra and true energy.

The secret of Chakra was discovered by Orochimaru himself.

Even in the Shinobi World, apart from the Sage of Six Paths abilities are unknown, no one understands Chakra and true energy better than Orochimaru.

In this world of the past two thousand years, no one knows more than Orochimaru.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons, and it cannot even be said to be the main reason.

Ignoring potential dangers based on mere speculation and taking unnecessary risks is not something the usually cautious Orochimaru would do without certainty.

The more important reason was that Orochimaru, who was facing away from Rasa, had a strangely wicked smile on his face that he hadn't shown in a long time, and he even excitedly licked his tongue.
