Chapter 120 - Chapter 119 Menma appears!

Video Section

[Peaceful Konoha Streets]

[Tenten is immersed in the drastic changes of Neji, Guy-sensei, and Lee before her eyes]

[She squats on the ground, unwilling to get up]

["What are you guys arguing about here?"]

[Naruto's voice comes through]

[Tenten freezes, then looks up]

[Naruto, Sakura, and others walk closer]

[Tenten immediately stands up and says happily]

["You guys came at just the right time!"]

[But as she stands up and carefully looks at Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke, her expression changes to one of surprise again]

She initially thought it was fine if one person changed.

It was still fine if two or three people changed.

But it couldn't be that everyone she knew had changed!

[Tenten looks at them in disbelief]

[She sees]

[Pink-haired Sakura still wears a dark red sleeveless top, her attire no different from the usual Sakura]

But what's with the blush on her face?

And her eyes are gazing adoringly at someone next to her!

Could this gentle demeanor possibly belong to Sakura?

Impossible!

[Next is Sasuke]

What's with the necklace around his neck?

And the flamboyant smile on his face!?

He's even striking a pose similar to Guy-sensei and Lee from before!

Confident and showing off?

[Finally, there's Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto]

His yellow hair is still yellow, but why is his hairstyle exactly like Lord Minato, the Fourth Hokage!

And that calm expression!

All his usual impulsiveness is gone!

Even though his fox whiskers are still there!

[Tenten feels like she's going crazy]

A gentle, easily blushing Sakura!

A show-off, outgoing Sasuke!

A calm and composed Naruto!

What kind of place is this... [Lee then complains to Naruto: "It's the same old story, you should say a few words to Neji too!"]

["Menma!"]

[Tenten looks at Lee, then turns back to Naruto]

[She confirms she didn't misunderstand]

[She instantly stares blankly at Menma, "Eh? Menma?"]

This guy who looks like Naruto, is called Menma?

[Menma is clearly unfazed by Tenten's question]

[He remains calm and composed, with an extremely mature demeanor]

[He says faintly: "What about me?"]

[His tone is as if stating a fact]

[Tenten immediately feels a sense of detachment]

[For a moment, she stands there, unsure how to respond]

Comment Section

[Naruto: Really? The Infinite Tsukuyomi couldn't even unearth my true personality, what a failed genjutsu! Anyone who knows me well could instantly break it!]

[Sakura Haruno: The personality on the screen feels completely different from my real self!]

[Uchiha Sasuke: A failed genjutsu.]

[Killer Bee: ♫ Cool Uzumaki Naruto, a different kind of feeling ♫]

[Killer Bee: ♫ A calm look, a deep look ♫]

[Fu: Actually, I think this Naruto is quite handsome, silent types are the best!]

[Mei Terumī: I didn't expect the Infinite Tsukuyomi Naruto wouldn't even be embarrassed, he really is the screen's favorite son, Uzumaki Naruto.]

[Samui: Has everyone overlooked one question, why is the Infinite Tsukuyomi Naruto called 'Menma'?]

[Naruto: It's simple, everyone in the Infinite Tsukuyomi world is the opposite, and I hate bamboo shoots/Menma the most.](Homophone)

[Hidan: Oh? Then I'll call you Menma-kid from now on!]

[Naruto: You idiot Hidan.]

[Uchiha Itachi: Little brother, I know your personality very well, it would never be like the one on the screen.]

[Samui: If, as Naruto says, everything is reversed, then what's the point of this Infinite Tsukuyomi? How could anyone fall for it?]

[Sasuke: Itachi, you just wait for me! Sooner or later I will come for my revenge!]

[Itachi: If you don't have the strength, don't come looking for me.]

Itachi still chose to say that.

Sasuke, who hadn't experienced much, wasn't qualified to know the truth.

Greeting him on the screen now was just something he wanted to do.

It was rare to have such a place where he could interact with his little brother like this.

[Naruto: Hey, hey, no need to argue!]

[Naruto: Let's bring the topic back, the Infinite Tsukuyomi is just a shoddy dream! That's my, Uzumaki Naruto's, evaluation!]

[Obito: Naruto, you are too arrogant!]

[Obito: This is the world Tenten wants to be immersed in, this is Tenten's dream!]

[Tenten: I don't have such a dream!]

Konoha.

Ninja Academy.

Observation Deck.

A group of youngsters looked at Tenten with strange expressions.

And Tenten quickly spoke up in the screen's comment section.

Then she faced everyone, forcing a calm explanation: "My dream is very simple, to become a Ninja Tool Master!"

Upon hearing this, Lee instantly understood his teammate.

He clenched his fist and spoke up for Tenten, "That's right, being on the same team as Tenten, I have a lot of say."

"Besides having many Ninja Tools, Tenten is also a kind and reliable person. How could the world she yearns for be the opposite of reality!"

Neji had been sullen ever since that scene appeared on the screen.

However, he also didn't quite believe that Tenten's dream world was like that.

Sasuke's eyes were fixed on the screen's comment section.

His expression grew colder.

Initially, he secretly detested the presumptuous demeanor of the Infinite Tsukuyomi Sasuke.

Though it didn't reach Neji's level.

He still sent a comment.

Suddenly receiving Itachi's response instantly triggered his dark side.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this scene.

He calmed himself down.

However, he ignored the voices around him... Sakura pondered with a puzzled expression, stroking her chin.

At this moment, she had a question.

It had actually arisen when she first watched "Tenten's Infinite Tsukuyomi."

It just felt increasingly strange now.

So she proactively asked the seniors: "Why is Tenten so clear-headed? I remember genjutsu clearly affects a person's five senses, making one's consciousness fall into inertia, making it easier to become immersed in the genjutsu scene!"

A top-tier genjutsu like Infinite Tsukuyomi shouldn't be unable to do even that.

As an academic high-achiever, Sakura had a very clear understanding of the basic principles of genjutsu.

Kurenai Yuhi smiled.

She openly showed her happiness that Sakura could ask this question.

She explained: "Genjutsu isn't omnipotent; there are many ways to counter it. For example, special Ninja Tools, or a Ninja's extremely strong personal will, or if the Ninja themselves is an extremely powerful genjutsu master, and so on. My personal guess is that Tenten likely has some special Ninja Tool..."

Jiraiya: "Legend says the Six Paths Tools of the Six Paths Sage can counter genjutsu, though it's unknown if it's true or false."

After hearing everyone's explanations, Naruto couldn't help but say: "If it really is the Six Paths Tools, then doesn't that mean there's a greater hope of escaping the Infinite Tsukuyomi!"

Only Tenten secretly didn't hold much hope for the screen's Tenten.

She stared blankly at the screen.

Such a real world, how to leave it was a big problem.

Does the screen's Tenten really have that ability?
