Chapter 142: Tsukuyomi That Cannot Be Broken (1st Update~)

"Sasuke, you're too weak!"

"Sasuke, your hatred is not enough!"

"Sasuke, have you forgotten about the Uchiha clan?"

"Sasuke, for the next twenty-four hours, you will linger in this day!"

"..."

Sasuke looked at Uchiha Itachi, who was chattering in front of him, and slowly closed his eyes.

This is the world of Tsukuyomi.

It's Genjutsu!

Sasuke had been waiting for this moment for a long time. He wanted to try adding some chakra points to see if it would cause chakra disturbance and break the genjutsu.

Even if it didn't work, he could add some points to his physical and mental attributes after the genjutsu ended to return himself to peak condition and get rid of the aftereffects of Tsukuyomi.

Open the system panel.

Current system points: 1235 points.

Add points.

Sasuke directly took out 1 system point and added it to his mental attribute.

嗡! (Weng! - SFX for a humming sound)

Instantly.

Sasuke's entire soul felt a sense of coolness, and the chakra in his whole body instantly recovered to its best state.

However.

Itachi's voice still echoed in Sasuke's ears.

"Sasuke, you're too weak!"

"Sasuke, your hatred is not enough!"

"Sasuke, have you forgotten about the Uchiha clan?"

"Sasuke, for the next twenty-four hours, you will linger in this day!"

"..."

The black and white world did not change at all.

The change in chakra did not pull Sasuke out of the world of Tsukuyomi.

"This..."

Sasuke was shocked. He didn't know if all genjutsu could not be broken in this way, or if only Tsukuyomi was like this.

Can't get out at all.

In the black and white world, Itachi's voice and the scene of Itachi killing his parents were constantly repeated.

Time and space seemed to have stopped.

Sasuke didn't have the memories of his previous life, so he wasn't too touched when he saw Fugaku and Mikoto being killed by Itachi, but it was tiring to watch it over and over again.

Add another point!

Sasuke pulled out the system panel again and added 1 system point to his mental attribute.

嗡!

Instantly.

Sasuke's spirit recovered to its best state, and he felt much better.

So this is Tsukuyomi?

Is this Uchiha Itachi's ability?

Sasuke was not filled with hatred by Itachi, but he truly realized the gap between them.

The left eye can use top-level genjutsu that cannot be broken, and the right eye can release inextinguishable black flames.

The abilities of Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan were indeed very strong!

It seems that the way to resist Tsukuyomi is to have stronger pupil power!

I should add points to the illusion attribute!

No rush!

Wait until I get hit by genjutsu again!

Sasuke was now trapped in the world of Tsukuyomi for twenty-four hours. Since he had nothing to do anyway, he couldn't help but take this opportunity to think about the direction of adding points.

During this time.

Sasuke thought a lot.

Including how to get points in the future, which skills to prioritize, and so on.

But Itachi's voice in his ears was like a broken record, chattering endlessly.

A bit annoying!

Anything said too much is annoying!

This made Sasuke a little rebellious.

He watched Itachi kill his parents with a knife over and over again.

Then his parents came back to life.

Killed again.

Alive again.

...

Endlessly!

Sasuke was a little annoyed watching it. He felt that if Uchiha Itachi were to become an UP master at Bilibili (a Chinese video sharing website), with this long and repetitive editing, he would not only not receive coins, but would also be sprayed to the point of doubting his life.

No creativity at all.

Itachi.

Just you wait!

When I learn Tsukuyomi in the future!

I'll let you see what a video is, and then let you hear what BGM is!

...

The long twenty-four hours ended in the repetition of the broken record and the repeating images.

It did cause a mental shock.

If you were forced to watch repeating images and listen to such nagging for twenty-four hours, you would collapse too!

Add points!

The moment he left Tsukuyomi, Sasuke added 1 point to his physical attribute and 1 point to his mental attribute.

嗡嗡嗡... (Weng weng weng... - SFX for a buzzing sound)

Instantly.

Sasuke's body trembled and instantly recovered to its peak state. He looked as if he had not been affected at all.

Colorful images reappeared before his eyes.

Sasuke's consciousness returned to the real world.

The whole process seemed very long, but it only took a moment.

"Hmm?"

Itachi took a deep look at Sasuke. His brother's reaction after being hit by Tsukuyomi was very different from what he had expected.

Not injured?

Not mentally affected at all?

This is not right!

Did I use a fake Tsukuyomi?

"Itachi, thank you for giving me an extraordinary experience."

Sasuke appeared very calm. This calmness was precisely a kind of pretense in the face of Itachi's extreme confidence.

+40

The numbers in front of Sasuke's eyes popped up instantly, adding a lot of points.

"Sasuke, what happened to you?"

Itachi looked deeply at Sasuke, wanting to see through him, but even though he used his three-tomoe Sharingan, he couldn't see anything from Sasuke.

Whoosh!

At this moment, a figure rushed towards them at an extremely fast speed.

Hmm?

Itachi glanced sideways towards Konoha. He had already sensed the late reinforcements.

"Sasuke, you won't be so lucky next time we meet!"

Itachi left harsh words, but in fact, he was making sure that Sasuke's life was safe.

"Sasuke, so you're here!"

Gai's voice came quickly from far to near, and his speed soared to the extreme.

He felt quite guilty.

If Sasuke's life was threatened because of him, he would blame himself endlessly.

Fortunately, he made it in time!

Gai saw two men in black clothes embroidered with red clouds.

One of them seemed to have captured Sasuke.

"Don't disturb Mr. Itachi!"

Kisame saw the green figure rushing out and suddenly pulled out the big knife behind his back, waving it out before untying the white bandage.

Gai didn't even look at Kisame. All he wanted to do now was reach Sasuke as quickly as possible.

Facing Kisame's big knife, Gai raised his foot and kicked it hard.

Bang!

Suddenly.

A muffled sound startled.

Kisame flew backwards, retreating dozens of meters in a row.

Whoosh!

Gai then swept out with a horizontal kick, aiming straight for Itachi's head.

Itachi immediately raised his hand, using his forearm to block Gai's attack.

Bang!

Another muffled sound rang out, and Itachi was kicked away a distance, landing steadily on the ground.

"Kisame, let's retreat!"

Itachi felt a little sore in his arm. He knew Gai's strength and could now leave with peace of mind.

Whoosh!

Itachi's figure disappeared in a flash.

"Really..."

Kisame gave Gai a hard look, remembering this person.

Whoosh!

Then Kisame's figure also disappeared, and both of them left.

Gai watched the two leave without chasing them. He knew that his purpose in coming was to find Sasuke.

"Sasuke, are you okay?" Gai asked with concern. He still didn't know who the opponent he had just kicked away was.

"I'm fine!"

Sasuke nodded, then stared at Gai with strange eyes.

"Just... Gai-sensei, you came really early!"

(End of chapter)

Chapter 143: Danzo is Coming! (Part 2 ~)

+10

As soon as Sasuke said these words, the numbers in front of him started jumping.

The points increased again!

"Hehehehehe..."

Gai responded to Sasuke with a silly laugh, without giving any specific explanation.

What could he say?

He couldn't say he got lost, could he?

That would be too embarrassing!

He couldn't say it!

Absolutely couldn't say it!

"That's..."

Gai immediately changed the subject, pointing to the charred Han in the black flames, thinking that he looked miserable.

"The Jonin from Iwagakure, I killed him."

Sasuke shamelessly took the credit for himself.

+20

The numbers in front of Sasuke jumped again, completing the increase.

"You actually killed a Jonin!"

Gai's eyes widened in disbelief.

"That's right!"

Sasuke nodded. Anyway, Itachi had already left, and no one could testify. Whether you believed it or not, that's what he said!

+20

The numbers in front of Sasuke increased again after he finished speaking.

"You... you are amazing! Let's go, let's go back!"

Gai didn't completely believe Sasuke's words.

He felt that Sasuke was bragging.

But he had no proof.

Those two people just now didn't look like allies!

He didn't even know what the burning black flame was.

Forget it!

If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it!

Just bring Sasuke back!

"Yes!"

Sasuke responded and nodded. He had spent a day with Han in the woods and felt bored.

There was nothing left to loot from Han's corpse. Basically, everything that could be taken was burned.

As for what would happen to the tailed beast after the Jinchuriki died, it was not within his scope of consideration. The Akatsuki organization should clean up their own mess.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Gai and Sasuke rushed back towards the Konoha Village camp one after another.

...

After everyone left.

A Zetsu emerged from the ground beside Han's corpse.

"Shall we retrieve this Jinchuriki?" White Zetsu stared at Han, who was burning with black flames, and asked.

"No, we'd better not touch Itachi's Amaterasu. Leave it to the people of Iwagakure!" Black Zetsu directly vetoed.

"What are we going to do now?" White Zetsu felt a little bored.

"Go back to the Rain Country and find Pain." Black Zetsu said in a deep voice.

"Ah? That's so boring!" White Zetsu's face was full of reluctance. Pain was the least fun person in Akatsuki.

"If we don't go back and inform Pain, Deidara will be in danger." Black Zetsu sighed. This was all arranged by him, and he didn't want to lose a member before the operation even started.

"Okay." White Zetsu controlled his body and burrowed back into the ground.

Immediately.

Zetsu disappeared.

...

"Gai-sensei, how is Kakashi-sensei?"

Sasuke asked curiously.

He felt that Kakashi-sensei might have had a problem.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to send only Gai alone.

"Kakashi is in a coma." Gai replied casually.

"He's actually in a coma!" Sasuke's eyelids twitched. He was too weak!

"It's okay, it happens often. If Kakashi goes on a mission and doesn't fall into a coma, then the mission can be considered to have no difficulty!" Gai said that he knew Kakashi very well.

"This..." Sasuke was speechless.

"Don't worry, let him sleep for a few days and he will wake up!" Gai guaranteed. He was no stranger to this.

"Okay." What else could Sasuke say? He just lamented that Kakashi's chakra was too low.

Of course.

Sasuke completely ignored how many points he had added during this time.

Not to mention Kakashi.

No one could withstand such a hard fight!

That Han, who was fighting against Sasuke, even had his feet numb!

...

A few dozen minutes later.

Sasuke and Gai returned to the Konoha Village camp.

The current camp was no longer what it used to be.

After this period of fighting, Konoha's casualties were also very heavy.

Kakashi was in a coma.

Asuma and Kurenai were also injured.

At least one-third of the Chunin who couldn't be named didn't come back.

However...

Compared to the losses, the results achieved were even more significant.

The Iwagakure camp was directly taken out.

No one was left alive!

Annihilation!

This situation was within Sasuke's expectations.

What kind of lineup was on the front line?

Almost all the Jonin that Konoha could name were brought here.

If they couldn't even take down an Iwagakure stronghold like this, it would be too embarrassing.

"Sasuke, you're finally back!"

Tenten's face was full of excitement when she saw Sasuke return safely. She wanted to jump into Sasuke's arms, but stopped after taking a step.

Behind Tenten.

Neji and Lee's eyes became relieved.

Compared to their previous personal grievances, they were now both Konoha ninjas.

In the face of war, they must unite.

"I'm fine."

Sasuke nodded to the people of Team Gai. These three people were also fine, which made him relieved.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

However, at this moment, ninjas wearing black-themed clothes shuttled through the woods.

Everyone was very fast.

The figures that kept flashing continuously approached the Konoha Village camp.

If these people hadn't come from the Land of Fire, everyone would have been on full alert.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

These black shadows quickly appeared in everyone's sight.

Everyone wore masks and ninja badges, showing their identity as Konoha Anbu ninjas.

Anbu?

Sasuke's eyes flickered with doubt as he looked at the ninjas who appeared in front of him.

What was Anbu doing on the front lines?

What was this operation?

Did something happen in the village?

Sasuke's mind was full of question marks.

Not only Sasuke didn't understand, but even Asuma and Kurenai didn't understand.

"Under the order of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, the frontline is now unified under the command of Lord Danzo Shimura!"

The Anbu ninja at the front said very seriously.

Whoa!

Instantly.

There was an uproar at the Konoha camp.

They were not going to disobey the order, but they didn't expect such an order.

Anbu leader Danzo came to command the battle?

Would this work?

Everyone was skeptical. It was like letting a secret agent go to the battlefield, which made people feel unreliable.

"How will Lord Danzo command?" Asuma asked suspiciously.

"Lord Danzo will arrive in half an hour. We are the advance team, responsible for clearing the route and informing you!" The Anbu member said.

"Lord Danzo is coming in person?" Asuma asked with wide eyes.

"That's right!"

The Anbu ninja nodded immediately to confirm.

Whoa!

The scene was shocked again.

Many of them had not seen Danzo a few times.

Such a mysterious figure actually came to the front line in person!

Sasuke listened silently to the exchange between the Anbu ninja and Asuma, feeling that something was fishy.

This wasn't right!

Could it be that he had outsmart oneself?!

The purpose of writing the letter was just to let Danzo take the blame!

Not to let Danzo bring the blame over!

(End of chapter)

Chapter 144: Onoki's Attitude! (3rd Update~)

Sasuke had a hunch that Danzo's arrival at the front lines had something to do with him. Things were getting a bit out of hand!

He suddenly felt that he had played too much with the Kirin. If Danzo really became the Fifth Hokage, who knows what would happen.

At least...

This guy was very much against the Uchiha!

...

On the other side.

Iwagakure ninjas went deep into the forest and found the continuously burning black flames.

"We found Lord Han!"

Someone shouted, and immediately all the Iwagakure ninjas gathered around.

Dozens of Iwagakure ninjas looked at Han, who had been burned to a crisp in the black flames, and still recognized him.

"What's going on with this flame?"

"Why are there black flames?"

"How long has this fire been burning?"

"Lord Han is actually dead!"

"..."

The Iwagakure ninjas started discussing, everyone staring at the terrifying black flames, not knowing what to do.

Before long.

A tall, slightly chubby ninja walked over.

This ninja was wearing a red suit, and looked kind of cute.

It was Akatschi of Iwagakure.

The Third Tsuchikage was worried about the situation at the front, so he sent Akatschi to gather information.

When Akatschi came over, the Iwagakure ninjas made way for him.

Akatschi walked to the front.

He saw the continuously burning black flames and Han at the center of the black flames.

"Han is dead."

Akatschi knew what was going on with just a glance.

The man was burnt to charcoal.

There's no way he could be alive.

"The enemy is not simple, and this black flame is even more unusual!"

After a simple judgment, Akatschi patted the ninja beside him.

"Prepare the Water Release Jutsu, extinguish the fire first!" Akatschi ordered.

"Yes!"

The ninja immediately formed hand seals, then performed the jutsu, spraying a cold jet of water from his mouth.

The water jet poured on the black flame, immediately making a series of sounds.

Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi...

Along with these sounds, water vapor rose up, turning into white mist.

The Water Release Jutsu was completely evaporated!

But the black flames were still burning!

Hiss...

Everyone in Iwagakure gasped, everyone staring at the inextinguishable black flames, their pupils filled with surprise.

"The fire can't be extinguished!"

Akatschi's face turned gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Lord Akatschi, I'll go get Lord Han's body out!"

At this moment, an Iwagakure ninja volunteered.

Without waiting for Akatschi's consent, he jumped up.

"Wait..."

Akatschi wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

The ninja stepped over the black flames at the edge with his first step, stepping on the intact ground, but there were more black flames inside.

Jump again.

The ninja crossed the second black flame.

But.

When the ninja landed, the edge of his sole rubbed against the black flame on the ground.

Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh...

Instantly.

The black flames spread directly on the ninja's body, the scorching temperature directly roasting him.

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

The ninja let out a series of screams, and the momentary panic made him run around in the flames, getting more and more black flames on his body.

Soon.

The ninja was engulfed in black flames and turned into another charred corpse.

"This black flame is very strange, no one should approach it easily!" Akatschi immediately ordered.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

They saw such a scene, and no one dared to step forward again.

"Quickly report to Lord Third Tsuchikage, explain what happened here clearly, and emphasize that Han is dead, the black flame is inextinguishable, and Konoha seems to have very powerful ninjas!" Akatschi said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Instantly.

Three ninja figures flashed and disappeared, quickly rushing towards Iwagakure.

"Leave a few people here to guard, we must bring Han's body back, but no one should rashly enter the fire!" Akatschi ordered again.

"Yes!"

Several Iwagakure ninjas nodded in response.

"The rest of you come back to the base with me. Now the strength of Konoha ninjas is still unclear, no one is allowed to act rashly!" Akatschi waved his hand and turned to retreat in the direction they came from.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Ninjas followed behind Akatschi and disappeared from the forest.

...

Waiting is always long.

Konoha ninjas waited for half an hour at the base, as if they had been waiting for half a day.

Everyone was thinking about the purpose of Danzo's arrival.

At this moment.

A group of people appeared in front of the Konoha ninjas.

Walking in the middle was Danzo in a dark green robe.

Danzo's body was wrapped in many bandages.

Sasuke knew what was inside those bandages.

When he watched this part of the anime, his trypophobia almost kicked in.

To the left of Danzo stood a man with orange hair and a mask, and to the right was a ninja with a black eye patch.

These two were Danzo's right-hand men.

Yamato.

Torune Aburame.

"I think you all know the purpose of my coming here."

Danzo's eyes swept over every ninja standing in front of the base, and when he saw Sasuke, his gaze paused slightly.

"The daimyo attaches great importance to this war between the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth. We must win, at all costs!"

Danzo ordered very seriously.

The victory or defeat of this battle not only involved the future relationship between the two countries, but also involved Danzo's position as Hokage.

"Yes!"

Everyone in Konoha responded.

Now with the order of the daimyo of the Land of Fire, then Danzo had the final say here.

"Get ready, we'll have a meeting in half an hour. I want to know everything that happened here, both the enemy's and our own!"

Danzo ordered coldly, he had not gone out to participate in the war for many years, and the young people now did not know his commanding talent.

...

Iwagakure.

Tsuchikage's office.

The three fastest Iwagakure ninjas brought the information back.

"Han is dead."

"Inextinguishable black flames."

"What kind of jutsu is this?"

The Third Tsuchikage Onoki was thinking in his heart.

"Lord Tsuchikage, Lord Akatschi asks you what we should do?" the ninja asked.

"Do nothing!"

Onoki shook his head, his face showing caution.

"We have been suppressing the Land of Fire for so many years, but we don't know the true strength of the Land of Fire."

"The situation is not very good now."

"To be honest."

"I don't know how the explosion of the raid was caused. The current stage is not a good time to fight."

"The Four-Tails Jinchuriki Roshi has left Iwagakure, and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki Han has died. If we continue to fight, regardless of whether we win or lose, the consumption for Iwagakure will be too great!"

"This is bound to weaken the Land of Earth, and the neighboring Land of Wind and the covetous Land of Lightning may both reap the benefits!"

Onoki instantly sorted out the information.

"So, we're not fighting?" the ninja asked.

Onoki shook his head directly.

"No fight!"

"Can't fight!"

"Konoha has always been cowardly, but now it's suddenly aggressive!"

"There's probably a trick to this!"

"I don't know yet if there is any connection or shady deal between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind."

"Starting a fight now will not do any good to our Land of Earth and Iwagakure."

As Onoki spoke, he went straight back to his desk and spread out a blank scroll.

"I will write to the daimyo immediately and ask him to seek peace with the Land of Fire. As long as we give some compensation, I believe the Land of Fire is also unwilling to start a war!"

Three updates delivered!

I'm not feeling well today, I'll add two or three more updates later, around two o'clock!
