In Konoha, Ashura Chakra is dropped at the beginning.

Chapter 103: Konoha's 61st Year, Blood Limit that Controls the Five Senses

Time flies like a white horse, and a quarter goes by in a jump.

Before we knew it, Konoha's 60th year had completely turned the page and entered the 61st year of Konoha.

During this year, several major events occurred in Konoha, all of which were major events that shocked the ninja world.

Konoha's collapse plan, the Third Hokage died in battle, the Fifth Hokage took over, Konoha and the Sand Village signed a new alliance agreement, and... Wood Release reappeared.

In just one year, Konoha, which had declined to the point where it had to bow to the Hidden Cloud Village and hand over the bodies of the powerful ninja clans in exchange for peace, has been reborn and has returned to a position where it is feared by all the major ninja villages and needs to be flattered by neighboring countries.

And all this is because the ruling power of Konoha has returned to the hands of the Senju clan.

The name of the Senju of the Forest once again resounded throughout the ninja world.

Under Tsunade's rule, Konoha, which has Wood Release Ninja, Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and a Sannin, is recovering its former glory.

The ninja world, which was already in a peaceful era, became even more peaceful on the surface.

After the heat of the reappearance of Wood Release died down, Yagyu's life returned to normal.

However, the attitude of the villagers and Konoha's ninjas towards him changed drastically.

The villagers were fine. Apart from the nearby neighbors, few people could recognize Yagyu.

The change in attitude of those civilian ninjas and ninja clan members made Yagyu feel the change in his status.

Even the special jonin and jonin of higher rank than Yagyu would address Yagyu as "sir" when they see him.

Especially those jonin who were killed instantly by the advent of the flower and tree world, their eyes were full of fanaticism when they looked at Yagyu.

Obviously, they all regarded Yagyu as the hope for Konoha to return to its peak and regarded him as the future Hokage.

After life returned to normal, Yagyu also entered a long period of sedimentation.

In order to quickly develop his immortal body, Yagyu absorbs several Grayl Stones every day.

A quarter passed, and although Yagyu still could not sense the natural energy, he was already able to skillfully integrate the fairy chakra and activate the sage mode.

The natural energy in each Gray Stone can allow Yagyu to maintain Sage Mode for two or three minutes.

During battle, these Grayl Stones are equivalent to a one-time curse.

In addition, Yagyu's height also grew to 1.73 meters during this quarter, which was 5 centimeters taller than when he graduated.

This is not only due to his physical condition, but also due to the life force within the Gray Stone.

Moreover, Yagyu's Wood Release Chakra can create a towering tree that can be hugged by more than ten people, which is much easier than before, and the time and energy required are reduced.

This means that his Yangtun Chakra has become stronger.

Yagyu also tried to cut a wound on his forearm. He did not use medical ninjutsu to treat it, but it scabbed and fell off in just a few hours.

After more than ten hours, not even a shallow scar was left.

I wonder how many times greater this self-healing ability is than that of an ordinary person.

All signs indicate that Yagyu's immortal body is growing rapidly.

In addition to his steadily improving strength, Yagyu's identity is also slowly changing from a subordinate to a leader.

After becoming a Chunin, Yagyu became the captain of Team 8 and was able to lead Team 8 to carry out some low-level tasks.

Kurenai Yuhi, who was of no help at all in the Kingdom of Wind and was just watching the performance of Team 8 the whole time, handed over the leadership to Yagyu with confidence after returning to Konoha, allowing Team 8 to complete the mission alone.

From now on, unless there is an emergency call or there is a need to guide high-level and super-high-level missions led by the senior ninja, Yuhi Kurenai will not return to the team.

In the past few months, Yagyu also completed many tasks with Hinata and Aburame Shino, but they were all C-level and B-level tasks.

These missions were all very ordinary, and the enemies encountered along the way were easily dealt with by Hinata, who had become more powerful, and Shino Aburame, whose micro-fragrant bugs had already hatched.

It was rare that Yagyu did not encounter any accidents on the road, and he completed the mission and returned smoothly.

February 61, 2st year of Konoha, 2: am.

"Master Yagyu, welcome back."

"Master Yagyu, thank you for the hard work on the mission."

Liu Sheng, who had just returned to the village after completing another mission, was registering at the village gate.

The Chunin guarding the gate greeted him very warmly and respectfully, just like he did to Jiraiya and Tsunade last year.

"You have worked hard too."

Yagyu nodded with a gentle smile, chatted with the Chunin guarding the gate for a few words, and then took Hinata and Aburame Shino into the village.

As usual, Yagyu disbanded Team 8 on the spot, asked Hinata and Aburame Shino to go back and rest, and then went to the Hokage Building alone to report to Tsunade.

However, before arriving at the Hokage Building, Yagyu's brows furrowed slightly.

From where he was, he saw that the rooftop of the Hokage Building was being repaired and it looked like it had been damaged.

Moreover, this damage is not natural damage, but man-made damage.

Because Yagyu's Kagura mind's eye clearly sensed that there were still chakra fluctuations remaining in those traces of damage.

Who is so bold as to attack the Hokage Building?

Thinking of this, Yagyu quickened his pace and arrived at the Hokage Building.

Smiling and nodding to the ninjas who greeted him on the way, Yagyu soon arrived outside the Hokage's office and pushed the door open directly.

"You're back. Just put the mission scroll in the cabinet. You don't need to report to me."

There was only Tsunade working in the office. She seemed very busy at the moment and had no time to listen to Yagyu's work report.

"Sister Tsunade, what's going on on the rooftop?"

Yagyu put away the task scroll, sat down on the sofa, and asked as he poured water, "Why are there traces of lightning strikes? And there are also chakra fluctuations. Did someone accidentally hurt this place while practicing lightning escape?"

"No, this is an illusion."

Tsunade still didn't look up and said, "You are so good at history, you should know about the Kurama clan, right?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng's face changed slightly, and he instantly understood who was responsible for the traces on the rooftop.

Yagyu formed seals with both hands, exerted the Kagura Heart Eye with all his strength, and then asked hurriedly: "Sister Tsunade, has Teacher Hong come to see you?"

"No, what's wrong?"

Tsunade finally looked up at Yagyu in confusion. Seeing Yagyu's serious expression, her expression also became serious: "Did something happen over there, Hong?"

"Ah... Mr. Hong's chakra is not in the village. I have a bad feeling. I need to go look for her."

Yagyu didn't have time to explain, so he stood up and was about to leave.

Tsunade seemed to realize something and said what she knew in one breath: "The lightning marks on the rooftop were caused by the leakage of the power of the eldest lady of the Kurama clan. Hong used to be her tutor. She may have gone to Satomi Villa to visit the eldest lady of the Kurama clan."

"Where is Satomi Villa located?"

"At the two o'clock direction facing the Hokage Rock, on a hill called Satomi-gaoka."

"I see."

Yagyu nodded, and immediately disappeared as a shadow.

The figure appeared in an alley, and Yagyu immediately used the Mayfly Technique to sink into the ground and moved at high speed towards Satomi Oka.

Kurama Yakumo, like the red-eye owner that Yagyu relies on so much, is an original character from the anime TV.

However, Yagyu still hasn't remembered the name of the owner of the red eyes.

Even though Yagyu did not write the name Kurama Yakumo in his diary, he had not forgotten it in these thirteen years.

There's no way, her bloodline limit is too strong.

Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi can make the pain people feel in the Tsukuyomi space exactly the same as the pain they feel in reality.

But Kurama Yakumo's bloodline limit is in some ways even more outrageous than Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi.

When you are burned in the Tsukuyomi space, the most you will feel is the pain of the fire.

If one were to be burned in Kurama Yakumo's illusion space, at best there would be large burn marks on the body in reality, at worst one would actually be burned to death on the spot.

Her bloodline limit can not only control the five senses, but also make illusions become real.

If the weakness of this bloodline limit was not also the five senses, then this bloodline limit would be an unsolvable bug.

In the original work, Naruto helped Kurenai solve the problem of Kurama Yakumo.

But now, Yagyu has triggered the butterfly effect, and Yuhi Kurenai can only face it alone.

That's why Yagyu didn't continue following Tsunade's words, but instead rushed to find Kurenai Yuhi.

If he remembered correctly, in the original novel, Kurenai Yuhi went to Satomi Villa with the intention of being killed by Kurama Yakumo and to resolve the other party's hatred.

Now without the intervention of Naruto, the child of destiny, Kurenai Yuhi might really die. It is almost a year before graduation, and the eighth team and Kurenai Yuhi have already established a bond.

Yagyu is also very fond of Yuhi Kurenai, a gentle and considerate lady who is as heroic as Tsunade.

If Kurama Yakumo killed Kurenai Yuhi, then Yagyu would definitely kill her to avenge Kurenai Yuhi.

With the help of the Mayfly Technique, Yagyu quickly arrived at the hill called Satomi Oka.

Yagyu, who has merged with the earth and vegetation, has seen a large number of unconscious ninjas through his special perspective and Kagura's mind eye.

Their faces were filled with fear, and some of them had large burns on their bodies, but there were no traces of charred fire around them.

Obviously, they were all caught in Kurama Yakumo's illusion, and their injuries turned from fake to real.

In the perception of Kagura's mind's eye, Yagyu also found Yuhi Kurenai's chakra.

However, there is a very special chakra around Yuhi Kurenai.

Not humanoid, but diffuse.

Even the special perspective of Yagyu's Mayfly Technique could not penetrate into that area of ​​chakra, as if that place did not belong to the earth's grass and trees, but an independent and different space.

A figure emerged from the ground, and Yagyu appeared in a corridor.

In front of him was a door burning with flames.

Miraculously, the flames only covered the gate and did not burn the gate or the building.

Even Yagyu didn't feel any warmth.

But if you touch these flames, your body will definitely show burn marks and pain.

Moreover, this kind of fire cannot be extinguished by water escape.

Because this kind of flame is an illusion fire formed by Yintun Chakra.

However, Yagyu's Wood Release can absorb this special flame.

However, Yagyu did not do so. Instead, he took out a piece of Grayl Stone from his space backpack and absorbed the special energy inside.

In less than a few seconds, Yagyu's pupils turned golden and red facial mask appeared at the corners of his eyes.

After entering the Sage Mode, Yagyu's Yintun Chakra was instantly enhanced.

Then, Yagyu formed a seal with one hand and a branch extended from his body.

The main body sprinted through the fire gate and entered a special space full of purple ripples and a strange atmosphere.

"Yagyu, why are you here?"

Unable to bear telling Kurama Yakumo the truth, Yuhi Kurenai, who was ready to sacrifice herself to resolve the girl's hatred, looked at Yagyu with her beautiful eyes wide open.

Obviously, Yuhi Kurenai did not expect that Yagyu, who had gone out on a mission a while ago, would appear here.

"I should be the one asking you this, Mr. Hong."

Seeing that only the lower half of Yuhi Kurenai's body had turned into nothingness and not been completely wiped out, Yagyu breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was also filled with fear, and a rare surge of anger.

However, he did not get angry, but asked: "Where is this place, why can't I use ninjutsu?"

"This is Yakumo's illusion space. Without her consent, you can't use ninjutsu."

Yuhi Kurenai explained briefly, as if she remembered something, and said anxiously: "Yagyu, please leave here quickly. This is a matter between Yakumo and me."

"Teacher Hong, shut up."

Yagyu, who was usually gentle, suddenly scolded.

In addition, the fact that he was not affected by the illusion space, his Sage Mode was not released, and his height reached 1.73 meters made Yagyu's eyes full of oppression and his whole body exuded an aura of majesty, which shocked Yuhi Kurenai so much that she froze and subconsciously dared not speak.

After scolding Yuhi Kurenai, Yagyu looked at Kurama Yakumo, who was pale and gloomy, and asked in a deep voice: "Kurama Yakumo, right? Teacher Kurenai's current state and those unconscious people outside were all caused by you, right?"

"No...that's right!"

Looking at Yagyu's golden eyes, Kurama Yakumo subconsciously dodged, but thinking of the conversation between Yuhi Kurenai and the Third Hokage, she suppressed her fear and looked directly at Yagyu and said, "Teacher Kurenai and the Third Hokage killed my parents and drove the Kurama clan out of Konoha. I want to avenge them."

"I see……"

The golden eyes stared at Kurama Yakumo for a few seconds, and as if he had discovered something, Yagyu suddenly formed a seal with one hand.

Seeing Yagyu's handprint, Yuhi Kurenai quickly shouted, "Stop, Yagyu, don't let her remember it!"

However, Yagyu ignored Yuhi Kurenai and quickly formed a seal, whispering: "Magic... Narakukan no Jutsu!"

Although Kurama Yakumo's bloodline limit is very powerful, his illusions are as buggy as Tsukuyomi and Kotoamatsukami.

But her weakness in illusion is more obvious than that of Tsukuyomi and Kotoamatsukami.

As long as the five senses are blocked, or the Yintun Chakra is stronger than hers, he will be able to break all the methods with one force.

Kurama Yakumo has a delicate body, and her Yintun chakra is obviously not as good as that of Yagyu who is now in Sage Mode.

In just a moment, the seal on Kurama Yakumo and the memories that her brain had forgotten due to self-protection immediately flooded into her mind.

Kurama Yakumo remembered all the scenes of the other me, that is, Ido who was born in the gap in my heart, killing my parents.

Snapped!
The shovel-like paintbrush in his hand fell to the ground, and Kurama Yakumo collapsed on the ground, muttering in despair: "I... I remember that it was the other me in my body that killed my father and mother."

As if sensing that Kurama Yakumo was about to collapse, Yuhi Kurenai quickly shouted: "No, Yakumo, you are wrong, you are different from that monster!"

"No, I'm not mistaken... because that thing lives in my heart."

Kurama Yakumo, with a dazed look in his eyes, looked at the sharp paintbrush on the ground, then suddenly picked it up, pointed it at his heart, and said with tears falling from his eyes, "I'm sorry, father, mother, and... Teacher Hong."

Seeing that Kurama Yakumo wanted to commit suicide, Yuhi Kurenai immediately pleaded with Yagyu: "Yagyu, teacher, please go and stop Yakumo, don't let her commit suicide."

However, Liu Sheng's eyes flashed, and he shook his head and said, "She won't die without my help."

really……

Just when Kurama Yakumo was about to commit suicide, the purple waves next to him suddenly splashed out a circle of ripples, and a drawing board with Kurama Yakumo's image appeared in front of Kurama Yakumo out of thin air.

A hand stretched out from the drawing board and stopped Kurama Yakumo from committing suicide.

Then, the expression of Kurama Yakumo in the drawing board was distorted, and he turned into a hideous monster with two long horns on his head, like a devil, and slowly walked out of the drawing board.

This monster is Yakumo Kurama’s inner demon - Ido.

“Why do you want to commit suicide?”

As soon as Ido appeared, he raised an angry questioning voice, looked at Liu Sheng and Xihi Hong with a ferocious face and said: "Damn you, these guys are the ones who put pressure on you and want to destroy me!"

"Yakumo, let me help you kill them!"

After saying that, Ido walked towards Yagyu and Yuhi Kurenai.

Yuhi Kurenai, whose lower body was wiped out by Kurama Yakumo's illusion, said anxiously, "Yagyu, don't worry about me, just leave here quickly. You can't use ninjutsu here, and illusions are ineffective against this monster. You will die if you stay here."

"Don't worry, it's over."

A smile suddenly appeared on Yagyu's face, and a dazzling red light flashed in his golden pupils.

From his perspective, the chakra in Kurama Yakumo and Ido's bodies are completely different colors.

The former is blue and the latter is purple.

This means that one person becomes two people.

So, Liu Sheng chuckled and said, "This monster will be easy to deal with once it comes out."

Click!

As if in response to Yagyu, the sound of the mirror shattering when it fell to the ground suddenly reached the ears of Yuhi Kurenai and Kurama Yakumo.

I saw an illusion space filled with purple ripples all around, with a large number of cracks appearing.

"You...what did you do?"

Ido shouted in horror.

Then, without waiting for Yagyu to speak, it turned and ran towards Kurama Yakumo.

Poof——

Unfortunately, before it could return to Kurama Yakumo's body, a branch stretched out from the crack in the ground, bound its legs and immobilized its body.

Then several sharp branches shot out from the surrounding cracks and pierced through Iddu's body like arrows.

"Do not!!!"

Ido let out an unwilling roar, and its body liquefied into purple chakra, greedily absorbing the branches that bound and pierced its body.

Soon, the illusion space formed by the Yintun Chakra turned back into a studio.

There are about two or three chapters left before the transition is complete, and then the story of Shippuden begins.
