Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

Chapter 308 Team 7 and Itachi Uchiha's ultimate moves

"This is Itachi Uchiha, who almost wiped out the Uchiha clan at the age of 13."

Sakura Haruno circled around the big tree, scrutinizing the gentle-looking Itachi Uchiha from head to toe, clicking her tongue in amazement: "If you look closely, he's actually quite handsome."

"The nasolabial folds are too deep; they'll turn into wrinkles in two years."

Sasuke Uchiha said coldly, "Don't worry, he won't live to see the day he has wrinkles."

"Besides, who in our Uchiha clan isn't handsome?"

Sakura Haruno shuddered, instantly transforming from a fangirl to a simp, circling around Sasuke and calling him "Sasuke" repeatedly.

Sasuke Uchiha looked impatient, but a strange smile inexplicably crept onto his lips.

At least when it comes to Sakura, he beat Itachi Uchiha.

Naruto was working when he suddenly realized that the connection of the sealing array he had drawn was malfunctioning, which puzzled him greatly. He quickly checked what he had drawn.

After confirming that there were no problems with his work, he looked up and saw his two teammates flirting. They had messed up several parts of the sealing array they were in charge of, and he was both amused and exasperated.

Naruto joked, "You two haven't finished your work yet. Can't you go home and show off your love some more?"

Sasuke's handsome face flushed red: "Naruto, who's showing off their love?"

Sakura happily replied, "Okay, Captain!"

Naruto pointed out their mistakes and quickly fixed the errors.

Just then, a violent earthquake struck the Tsukuyomi space, and thousands of cracks suddenly appeared on the ground. But what gushed out of the cracks was not magma, but a deep red, almost black despair.

Fortunately, there was no tremor or cracks near the towering tree that trapped Itachi Uchiha.

Orange-gold light emanated from Naruto's body, transforming into a large orange fox—the Nine-Tails sealed within him.

After the Nine-Tails transformed, it slammed its two front paws into the ground, leaving two fox paw prints. The orange tailed beast chakra spread out, forcibly closing the cracks in the earth and suppressing the source of the earthquake.

Having completed the suppression, Kurama spoke up: "Naruto, be careful. Itachi Uchiha hasn't given up on seizing the Tsukuyomi space yet."

Naruto Uzumaki said seriously, "Yes, Itachi Uchiha is a monster. He learns the rules so fast. Our control over the Tsukuyomi space won't last long."

Naruto Uzumaki was able to seize the Tsukuyomi space because he frequently entered and exited the sealed space and was very familiar with the virtual world created by this type of ninjutsu. He was able to use the power of the Nine-Tails to infiltrate the Tsukuyomi space and manipulate it.

First, he created a hidden space within himself, hiding inside so that Itachi Uchiha couldn't find him.

Then, based on his understanding of the laws of the world, he made various modifications to the Tsukuyomi space.

As a disciple of the Fifth Hokage, Sasuke Uzumaki, Naruto Uzumaki learned not only ninjutsu, but also profound knowledge of the various laws of the ninja world.

Therefore, Naruto's understanding of the world far surpasses that of Itachi Uchiha. When he uses this knowledge to alter the Tsukuyomi space, he does not encounter any resistance because of the "relative correctness" of his knowledge.

As the master of the Tsukuyomi space, Itachi Uchiha was certainly capable of resisting, and could even easily crush Naruto Uzumaki by taking advantage of his home field.

Unfortunately, Itachi lacked knowledge of the laws of the world, and all changes were beyond his comprehension. He was not only unaware of these complex changes, but also unaware of the vast majority of them.

Therefore, Naruto Uzumaki and Kurama worked closely together to perform a super-large upgrade to the Tsukuyomi space, successfully using the original Tsukuyomi world as the core, and suppressing Itachi Uchiha himself at the core of the new world.

But Naruto never expected that Uchiha Shū, who was in dire straits, would show unprecedented resilience and incredible genius.

While resisting the seal on the New Tsukuyomi world, he was also rapidly learning the world laws woven by Naruto Uzumaki, quickly improving his understanding of the New Tsukuyomi world.

It's only been a short time, yet it's already shaken the world of New Moon Reading.

When geniuses reach this level, safety becomes irrational.

Naruto clicked his tongue in amazement: "No wonder my teacher repeatedly warned me to treat him with caution. Itachi Uchiha's strength is completely unreasonable, as if the entire ninja world is standing behind him."

Sasuke Uchiha's face turned deathly pale: "Even the Fifth Hokage says so, is there no way I can kill him?"

Naruto Uzumaki said, "No, that's not it."

"The teacher said this phenomenon is called being favored by fate, and such people are called children of fate, who can achieve twice the result with half the effort no matter what they do."

"I can learn any knowledge after reading it once, master it after practicing it once, and make breakthroughs after thinking about it. I can win against the strong in battle, find treasures that others cannot find in adventures, and escape from certain death traps."

"However, fortune also has its ups and downs."

"The teacher's assessment of the chosen ones is: When fortune smiles, heaven and earth lend their support; when fortune turns, even heroes are powerless."

"Such people often undertake a mission, and they are invincible until the mission is completed, but they have to pay back everything they have gained after the mission fails or is completed."

Sasuke Uchiha gritted his teeth and asked, "Naruto, did the Fifth Hokage ever say when Itachi Uchiha would die, and what can I do before then?"

Naruto replied, "Our teacher really did say that Itachi Uchiha's destiny was too strong, and he wouldn't live past 25."

"Moreover, as long as we keep attacking Uchiha Itachi and force him to reveal his trump cards in advance, we will continuously deplete his luck and make him face his death sooner."

Uchiha Sasuke suddenly relaxed, like a drowning person suddenly rescued, and began to gasp for breath.

He said with relief, "Good, that's good. As long as my efforts can kill him sooner, then it won't have been in vain."

.

Naruto Uzumaki said, "Although it will be dangerous, Sakura and I will help you."

Sakura Haruno nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, we will all help you, and we will definitely be able to let you kill Itachi with your own hands."

Sasuke Uchiha was moved, and he said firmly, "Thank you. Let's start working hard from now on."

Sakura Haruno was overjoyed: "Okay, let's work hard together!"

Naruto Uzumaki extended his hand and bumped fists with his two teammates: "After today's lesson, Itachi Uchiha will fix the flaws in the Tsukuyomi space and will not give us another chance to seize it."

"So we must seize this opportunity and teach him a lesson he won't forget."

"Keep it up!"

The members of Class 7 continued to draw the sealing array. This time, they were all full of energy and their work efficiency increased significantly.

The Tsukuyomi world is essentially a spiritual world constructed from chakra, so chakra and mental will are the strongest forces that go hand in hand.

When Class 7 was in high spirits and full of fighting spirit, it was as if they had divine assistance. Even the most difficult sealing structures, which had never been successfully completed before, were all accomplished in one go.

When Itachi Uchiha unleashed the Nine-Tails' chakra to suppress the world and trigger the second Tsukuyomi world earthquake, Team 7 had already completed the construction of the sealing array.

Naruto shouted, "Kurama, we're done, come back quickly."

Nine-Tailed Fox flicked its fluffy tail and complained haughtily, "I've already told you, don't call me by my name in front of others. This is a one-time exception!"

After making this pretense of a warning to Naruto, Kurama released its suppression of the world, transforming into an orange-red light that flowed into its host's body.

Just then, the two Itachi Uchiha on the tree trunk opened their eyes and exclaimed in unison in surprise, "Naruto Uzumaki, you are a perfect Jinchuriki!"

Naruto Uzumaki said smugly, "Yeah, but you can't bring this information back with you."

The sinister Itachi laughed: "Hehehehe, you think you can kill me with this sealing array alone?"

The gentle Itachi shook his head and said, "Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, as ninjas, you can't be so arrogant and conceited, otherwise you'll easily find yourself in a passive position."

Itachi's gentle voice was calm and sincere, as if he truly cared about the younger members of Team 7.

Uchiha Sasuke's heart softened upon hearing this, and he took a deep breath to suppress the feeling.

The Evil Weasel scoffed, "What's the use of you playing the good guy? We're their enemies, their mortal enemies!"

"Won't we just kill them again next time we see them?"

Gentle Itachi sighed, "One thing at a time. I will definitely have to kill them next time we meet, but that's impossible this time. So it's not a problem for me to show my concern."

The Evil Weasel spat, "What a bastard! This is a huge problem. I think you're even more perverted than me."

Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno thought to themselves: [That makes perfect sense; he really is a super freak.]

The three of them found it particularly amusing to listen to Itachi arguing with himself.

Especially Uchiha Sasuke, he never imagined that his aloof and gloomy older brother had such two sides to him.

However, they did not let their guard down. While listening, they formed hand seals as quickly as possible and worked together to activate the sealing array.

Suddenly, the gentle Itachi spoke up, praising, "Excellent! You haven't relaxed at all, diligently preparing to activate the sealing array. You are already the most outstanding ninjas."

"May I ask, what kind of sealing formation is this?"

Sasuke Uchiha proudly replied, "This is the 'Mind Illusion Killing Formation' that the Fifth Hokage commissioned the Kurama clan to develop after examining my injuries. It's specifically designed to counter your Tsukuyomi, you traitor."

Naruto Uzumaki continued, "The teacher made significant improvements to this sealing array, changing its target from specific individuals to genjutsu or the mental world."

"Humans or monsters can dodge, hide, and transfer damage, but the world cannot move or dodge, nor can it transfer damage."

"Once your spiritual world is shattered, for you who created the world and are within it, this is an absolute and unavoidable injury."

The gentle Itachi exclaimed, "Truly worthy of being the Fifth Hokage!"

The Fiend Itachi roared in fury, "That damned Xia Zuo! This is specifically targeting me! Just how much does he want me dead?"

"Kill him! I must kill him!"

Gentle Itachi sighed, "Don't even think about it. The Fifth Hokage, Sasuke, is the strongest in the ninja world. No one can kill him."

The Evil Weasel was even more furious: "What's wrong with you? Why are you always going against me?"

The gentle weasel asked curiously, "That's only natural, otherwise why would we have separated?"

The evil Itachi flew into a rage and unleashed a torrent of profanities, quickly provoking the gentle Itachi, who retorted, "Every word you utter to me is an insult to yourself," further enraging the evil Itachi.

The two itachi argued back and forth, getting more and more heated, until they became two angry itachis who looked more and more like one person.

Naruto noticed that the two Itachis' expressions were now synchronized. A chill ran down his spine, and he whispered, "Sasuke! Sakura!"

"Itachi Uchiha is playing tricks!"

"He might be preparing something big!"

"Speed ​​up!"

The two Itachis suddenly stopped arguing, and with completely identical expressions and in perfectly synchronized tones, they said, "Naruto Uzumaki, you're truly perceptive. No wonder you're the disciple favored by the Fifth Hokage!"

"But you're too late. I've already completed all the preparations."

The eyes of both Itachi simultaneously transformed into Mangekyou Sharingan, and dense, crimson-orange chakra emanated from their bodies, forming their skeletons.

The two Itachis said in unison, "Outside of Tsukuyomi, I can't use Susanoo through clones, but inside Tsukuyomi, my power is as great as my heart!"

The orange-red Susanoo rose from the ground, a colossal god clad in helmet and armor, instantly breaking through the trunk of the tree and freeing the two itachi from their confinement.

They both let out strange laughs, then looked down at Team 7 of Konoha: "So, you were one step too late, and you lost everything!"

But none of the students in Class 7 showed any signs of panic. On the contrary, their faces were full of surprise at seeing something so rare.

Naruto Uzumaki shouted, "Itachi Uchiha, you're wrong. We weren't a step behind!"

Suppressing the barely concealed envy and jealousy in his eyes, Uchiha Sasuke loudly continued, "We've been preparing to activate the sealing formation for a long time!"

Sakura Haruno said smugly, "Our subsequent hand seals were all to suppress the sealing array and prevent it from activating prematurely."

Naruto Uzumaki said, "I know how I infiltrated the Tsukuyomi space, and I also know that you now have at least two personalities. Of course, we need to be wary of you using one of your personalities to deplete our powerful attacks."

"So we've been waiting, waiting for you to gather all your strength so we can deliver the most fatal blow."

Countless points of light emerged from the cracked earth, interlocking to form a complex three-dimensional sealing array.

The tree fragments, shattered by Susanoo, were also glowing as they flew through the air. They then transformed into countless streams of light, converging into the light spots at the nodes of the sealing array, causing each light spot to expand tenfold.

Itachi, who had already partially merged into one, discovered that Susanoo seemed to have fallen into a giant spider web, entangled in countless spider silks, unable to move.
