Chapter 422 Invitation to Battle
Unfortunately, Naruto missed the beautiful view of the rising sun on his first day on the island. Although the sea of clouds around Yakumo Castle is artificially controlled, the weather has little impact on it, and such scenery can be seen every day.
Sasuke, who was already the leader, was quite busy in the early stages of development. He was not as busy as the Hokage in overseeing the various chores in the village. There were not so many people to manage, and he had delegated power to the promoted managers to practice, and he only had to conduct regular inspections. What was more important was to implement the scientific and technological knowledge stored in his memory bit by bit, from industrial machinery design to ninjutsu application, programming, and new material synthesis...
Although Sasuke was not sure about his ability to fight against Kaguya, his own strength had already reached a bottleneck. In the face of the war, the improvement brought by conventional ninjutsu training was barely noticeable. Although technology is an external thing, it must be admitted that it can bring more diverse and powerful back-up plans, which is not a waste of time.
There are a lot of "high-tech" things in my memory, but "knowing" and "being able to do" are two completely different things.
To achieve the most advanced part, we must go through technological iterations again and again.
The results of energy development require the most basic experimental data as a reference. Various new materials also require a certain number of samples to support subsequent further research. They cannot remain on paper. The improvement of mechanical precision, clinical trials of drugs... Sasuke also needs to keep learning in this process. The differences between different types of work are too great, and the mental workload is fully stretched, so he dare not use the shadow clone too much.
When Naruto found Sasuke, his shadow clone was acting as a ruthless "strategy" maker, compiling various documents.
"Sasuke! I'm busy. When you're free, fight me again. I've made a lot of progress recently!"
What progress can be made in ten days or half a month? Needless to say,
"You just got the Kyuubi's chakra yesterday, and you want to try it on me?"
"Ah? Ah~ That's right!"
Naruto said that it was true, but he looked so honest that he would never lie.
"What exactly is going on?"
As expected, he was discovered. Naruto had no intention of hiding this matter any longer, but he already had the upper hand and had challenged someone to a two-on-one fight, so he couldn't really say it out loud without being forced.
"It's the Nine-Tails. He said that if we can defeat you together, he can cooperate with me to provide chakra in the future."
"Sasuke, tell me honestly, did you hold back when you fought me before?!"
Even though Naruto had just told a small lie, his tone became stronger.
"What kind of question is that? I'm an Uchiha. Didn't you notice that I never used genjutsu when I fought you?"
Never used genjutsu? Naruto thought there should be nothing wrong with his memory.
"You clearly said that you used illusions, those moves that were hard to tell the real from the fake and were similar to the clone technique."
"I mean the control type of illusion..."
Even if the strength is equal, after being controlled by an illusion, it only takes a few seconds to finish it off. There is no point in fighting. The purpose of fighting is of course for training. If illusions are used, fighting with acquaintances will become meaningless.
It seems that Naruto’s misunderstanding of illusion is his own fault?
"You seem to have some misunderstanding about Uchiha's illusions."
"Well, it's good, just in case you have to face that 'Uchiha Madara', you can be mentally prepared."
"Do you still remember the training on removing illusions?"
"To confuse the chakra in your body? But it won't help with your illusions..."
Sasuke didn't even open his Sharingan, and directly used a classic basic illusion technique on Naruto.
"You remove it."
The surrounding scenery began to twist abnormally. Ming Jiang doubtfully let the chakra in his body surge, and everything returned to normal.
"it works!"
"It can only target conventional illusions, as well as hypnosis, immobilization, and the like."
"When encountering an illusion cast by an Uchiha or some special bloodline limits, it is usually difficult to remove the illusion by one person's strength, and you need the help of your companions."
"Because the Jinchūriki has a tailed beast in his body, he has assistants who can help dispel illusions at any time and anywhere."
"Of course, the prerequisite is that the Jinchūriki has a good relationship with the tailed beasts and is willing to help. This is also the origin of the saying that the perfect Jinchūriki in the Hidden Cloud Village is immune to illusions."
"Sasuke, if you tell me all this, won't you be missing a powerful move?!"
Naruto was worried. The Nine-Tails said that Sasuke couldn't let him go, but now he even revealed all the hidden means and solutions.
"Why, Kyuubi is sure he wants to help you?"
"He said...he could help me temporarily."
"Really? Then go and confirm it again."
Why confirm?
Naruto was a little confused, but did as he was told.
"Nine-tailed fox, nine..."
!
Naruto was greeted by the sharp teeth of the Nine-Tails, but fortunately it was only in a ferocious pose. The chakra of the tailed beasts was overwhelming, and the nine giant tails even spread to the border of the spiritual space, which was very powerful. But what was more eye-catching was the same Sharingan pattern as Sasuke in the eyeballs with a diameter of several meters.
As long as Sasuke is willing, he can also prevent the Nine-Tails from showing the Sharingan pattern in its eyes. This is not difficult, and it is clearly a hint to Naruto: the Nine-Tails is under an illusion.
"Nine-tail! Nine-tail, wake up!"
Of course he refused to agree. Naruto thought of the method of contacting illusion just mentioned, and quickly forced his chakra into the Nine-Tails' body.
The first glimpse of the Nine-Tails' chakra was more like plunging into an ocean of chakra that was about to swallow me up, but fortunately it was only close. Compared with the outer path demon statues that I had sensed before, the malice of the tailed beasts? The Nine-Tails was far inferior to that of a real monster.
To remove the Nine-Tails' illusion, one must be able to mobilize a huge amount of chakra, and this threshold is basically not a problem for Jinchūriki. Naruto used all of his own chakra to participate in it, and he also had to keep it under control so that it would not be assimilated by the Nine-Tails' chakra. In this case, using an extremely simple illusion removal technique was even more difficult than using the Rasengan with all his strength.
However, there is no need for Naruto to give the Nine-Tails a complete full body SPA. As long as he can offset one part of Sasuke's chakra, the Nine-Tails' consciousness will naturally escape through the breakthrough point, and take back control of the rest of the chakra with Naruto's chakra.
Sasuke did not continue to increase the stakes in this demonstration, and Naruto in front of him had already entered the state of Golden Body Jinchuriki again.
"Done! It's not that hard~"
"I only controlled the Nine-Tails, so you can still help. If I use illusion to control both of you, who will help you?"
"You mean controlling both of us at the same time... is that possible?"
"There are ways to avoid it, but I'll only reveal this much information to you. You can figure out the rest on your own."
"As for the competition, it's not possible on the island."
"I will find a suitable place before the sun sets. There is still a little while left, so you can discuss it with Kyuubi."
"If you can't let me have fun and waste my time, Kyuubi, you'd better be mentally prepared."
"Sasuke, don't be too confident. Be careful not to get upset. I've thought of a solution!!"
Although he was used to making harsh remarks, it would be very tricky if Sasuke could really control two people with illusions at the same time. Naruto had never tried it, and he was not 100% sure about his countermeasure plan.
