Chapter 155: ※30⛬ Filled with Confidence Charges In
Naruto stood in front of a certain street.
Because just a minute ago, Kurama had passed through.
The entire street was unrecognizable; the road was cracked with bottomless fissures, and the shops on both sides were shattered to pieces.
He could understand Kurama's excitement.
Locked in a small dark room for decades and suddenly released—how could he not be happy?
Naruto looked carefully, found a supermarket, and casually picked up a bag of Weilong Latiao.
Mmm, a familiar taste.
It just felt a bit off.
But it didn't matter; it could be adjusted.
At this moment, Naruto was like a dream weaver; everything could be manipulated, everything could be created.
As long as his imagination was big enough.
He could do anything.
Of course, genjutsu was ultimately fake.
Everything seen, heard, and felt was merely deceiving the body.
But it wasn't bad to reminisce about his previous life.
Naruto had another idea: an internet cafe.
He pushed the door open and started a game: league of legends.
After playing a round as the ADC Vayne, he felt great.
In the future, he could invite a few people into the genjutsu he controlled to play games.
Naruto tested other things.
He felt like he was playing with a world editor.
The only cost was some Chakra.
This genjutsu was truly ridiculous.
Naruto looked up at Kurama, who was causing destruction everywhere like a monster.
Being able to ensnare a Tailed Beast proved that this genjutsu was not inferior to the Sharingan.
Although it was because Kurama had no guard up, it was enough to show its extraordinariness.
Thinking about it, it made sense.
Merlin was, after all, the legendary Son of a Nightmare.
His status was quite high.
The exploration of the genjutsu was almost complete; only one thing remained.
Save the world.
This land was facing an invasion by the evil Nine-Tails, and the people were calling for a hero.
As a partner of justice, Naruto naturally felt duty-bound.
Um, definitely not taking the chance to get revenge.
Anyway, it was all genjutsu—fake.
Getting hurt here wouldn't affect reality.
Naruto looked down and picked up a Spark Lens that someone had thrown away.
He opened it and held it high.
A brilliant light descended, and he transformed into the giant Ultraman Tiga.
"Dastardly monster, I, Tiga, will defeat you!"
Naruto shouted, filled with righteous indignation.
Kurama, who was hugging the Tokyo Tower, looked up in confusion.
It looked at the guy in the strange, tight leather suit and asked, "What kind of thing are you?"
The response it got was a punch.
The sound of the wind whistled loudly.
Kurama subconsciously extended its front limbs to block.
Boom!
The power was beyond its imagination, directly causing its front limbs to slam back into its own chin.
Kurama's eyes widened, its head snapped to the left, and its body flew into the air.
It crashed through everything in its path, turning countless buildings into dust.
A moment later.
Kurama shook its dizzy head, its anger flaring up.
"Argh, you're dead!"
It roared at the sky.
The sound waves caused the ground and buildings around it to crack completely.
The glass windows, in particular, shattered with a series of crisp sounds.
Seeing this, Naruto didn't say a word. He took a few running steps, raised his right leg, and smashed it down on Kurama's head.
Kurama tried to dodge but couldn't in time; it was hit in the shoulder, and intense pain spread instantly, causing half its body to lose sensation for a moment.
Then Naruto slammed an elbow into its chest, knocking it flying once more.
It rolled through a trail of dust.
"Bastard! This old man is really angry!"
Kurama staggered to its feet and opened its mouth.
Strong winds rose from all directions.
Suffocating Chakra began to gather.
A moment later, a huge black ball appeared.
Naruto raised an eyebrow.
This guy really doesn't know anything besides the Tailed Beast Ball.
He cupped his hands at his right waist and shouted, "Kamehameha!"
Blue light radiated in all directions.
It grew brighter and brighter until Naruto thrust his hands forward, and a giant pillar of light far exceeding his body size erupted from his palms.
An unbelievable expression appeared on Kurama's face.
What the hell is this?
The light buried it completely.
"No!"
Kurama suddenly screamed.
It looked around and realized something was wrong.
It was back in the Sealing Space.
Naruto was looking at it with a half-smile.
Kurama remembered its scream just now and its face turned a bit red, though it couldn't be seen through its fox fur.
"Was that your doing earlier?"
It came to its senses and asked.
Usually, it just didn't like using its brain, but that didn't mean it was stupid.
"It was my genjutsu," Naruto admitted.
After all, there was no one else; not admitting it would be too fake.
"I knew it."
Kurama felt it was incredibly smart for figuring it out, then its face darkened. "Was that Tiga also you?"
"No, that wasn't me."
Naruto shook his head in denial.
If he admitted it, Kurama would surely chase him down.
"You're lying!"
Kurama raised its head and said decisively, "It must have been you!"
"It wasn't me."
Naruto said with a sincere face, "Big Fox, you know me. If it were me, would the battle have ended so quickly?"
"???"
Kurama almost couldn't catch its breath.
According to you, you haven't fought enough?
"Big Fox, do you think this genjutsu is fun?"
Naruto asked before it could speak.
"It's so-so. If Tiga hadn't messed things up, it would be okay,"
Kurama said, waving a paw and pretending not to care.
Tsk, if it's not fun, why were you running around like a Husky?
Naruto didn't expose it and said, "Do you want to play every day?"
Kurama looked him over and said, "If you put it that way, this old man can give you some face and play for ten hours a day."
Your face is really big.
Ten hours.
Naruto shook his head and said, "Ten hours won't do."
Kurama tilted its head and asked tentatively, "Then twenty hours?"
What a bargaining genius.
Naruto held up two fingers and said, "Two hours."
Kurama was immediately dissatisfied: "Too little!"
Naruto smiled indifferently, looked at it, and said, "Do you really think it's too little?"
"..."
Kurama sensed a hint of malice.
It went silent for a moment, then with an 'I am very generous' expression, it said, "Fine, I'll give your mother face once more."
Naruto looked at it with disdain.
You dare say such big words?
Besides, Kushina might even be able to hear you.
"Kid, what's with that look?"
Kurama felt slighted. "I, the strongest Tailed Beast, giving you face is thinking highly of you, understand?"
"Alright, I'll send you to the genjutsu world now."
Naruto smiled slightly and consumed another third of his Chakra.
Kurama's vision blurred.
When it opened its eyes again, it was already in another world.
It looked around.
It seemed to be the same city as before.
Until it saw a big guy over a hundred meters tall in the distance, and it froze.
There was actually something bigger than it?
Shouts from onlookers reached its ears.
"Is this guy called Burning Godzilla? Let this old man test your mettle."
Kurama charged forward with full confidence.
It believed that, other than the Ten-Tails, no other beast could be stronger than it.
Ten minutes later, it returned to the Sealing Space.
"Kid, I'm going to kill you!"
The voice echoed, full of vigor and murderous intent.
But Naruto had already run away.
The next day.
Jiraiya packed his things and appeared with his large scroll on his back.
Naruto pressed a hand on his shoulder, and the Flying Thunder God Technique was activated.
The two of them returned to Wudi City.
"This is?"
Jiraiya was about to speak when Naruto pulled him into the shadows of a blind spot.
"It's actually the White Lotus Sect residence. Kid, you're something else, carving a Flying Thunder God Mark here."
After the patrolling guards left, Jiraiya looked around.
He had been here a few times before, so he recognized it at a glance.
"Since I was here anyway, I left a mark," Narutosaid casually.
Jiraiya didn't dwell on it too much. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Naruto press a forefinger to his lips.
He was slightly taken aback.
Three young girls walked past not far from them.
It was the White Lotus Saintess.
"Let's leave here first to avoid being discovered," Naruto said after Haku's figure disappeared.
Jiraiya nodded.
Although the White Lotus Sect was heavily guarded, it was nothing to them.
"Tsk, I really don't know why this White Lotus Saintess is called the second in the world?"
Upon arriving at a quiet, deserted alley, Jiraiyabrought up Haku again.
"Because she's pretty," Naruto replied.
"What's the use of being pretty?"
Jiraiya said indignantly, "Can that kind of plain figure be called second in the world?"
When talking about his professional field, he seemed to glow.
Um, with a yellow light.
Naruto was speechless.
"Yes, yes, she's not as good as Tsunade-nee-san, okay?"
"You're right about that."
Jiraiya showed a lecherous smile again.
"Tsk, all talk and no action," Naruto shook his head and mocked.
"What did you say?"
Jiraiya glared at him. "Rebellious disciple, one day I'll purge the ranks!"
"Maybe in the next life."
"..."
Jiraiya was so angry he couldn't speak.
Naruto felt something and looked up, spotting Kakashi in a dense locust tree.
"Your strength has improved even further, Naruto. It seems you've learned a lot from Jiraiya-sama."
Kakashi jumped down, stood before them, and put away the book in his hand.
Naruto caught a glimpse of the title.
"How Men Can Nourish Their Kidneys."
His expression instantly became strange.
Kakashi noticed his look, coughed, and said, "The Land of Fire army has already assembled outside; they will wait for our notice."
"What do you mean?"
Naruto skipped the point about nourishing kidneys and asked, "Does the Land of Fire actually follow Konoha's command?"
"Of course not."
Kakashi shook his head and said, "The general outside hopes we can take out the White Lotus Sect Leader within these two hours to reduce their casualties."
"So the army will attack in two hours?" Jiraiya took over the conversation.
"Correct," Kakashi said. "Hokage-sama instructed that you are in command of this operation. What should we do now?"
"Only you?"
"And me."
Hyuga Neji appeared from the other side and greeted, "Jiraiya-sama."
After speaking, he nodded to Naruto.
"Neji was recommended by Hyuga Hiashi-sama."
Kakashi explained, "We originally planned to have a Hyuga Clan Jonin participate, but Hiashi-sama said Neji's strength is not inferior to any Jonin."
Jiraiya also knew about Neji.
He didn't waste any words, clapped his hands, and his tone became serious.
"This assassination mission will be led by me, with the three of you as members. Our time is tight—only two hours. The priority is to find the White Lotus Sect Leader's location. We'll sneak into the White Lotus Sect residence, and then Naruto and Neji will investigate. If we can't be sure, we'll eliminate all Jonin-level members. Understand?"
"Understood!"
