Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

Orochimaru: "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

Orochimaru: "Black-rimmed Naruto... Black-rimmed Naruto... Heh—"

boom--

Orochimaru pounded his chest hard.

He opened his mouth and breathed deeply.

His chest heaved violently.

Looking at Naruto on the large screen with its black border.

His whole body trembled slightly, and there was a line of drool at the corner of his mouth.

If that longing look were directed at a woman, she would probably be terrified.

Even the third sister-in-law would have to clench her buttocks and run away if she saw this.

Inside the sealed space.

Nine-Tailed Fox saw this.

He lay down uneasily.

Nine fluffy tails flared wildly behind it.

How did things suddenly turn out like this?

Is my self in this black-framed world going to fail completely... no, will I lose everything?

The large screen with its black border continues to display the image:

[Pfft—]

The ninja sword pierced through Itachi Uchiha's chest.

[He stabbed him right through the heart.]

[Cough cough—]

Itachi Uchiha's expression visibly darkened.

He coughed violently several times, and fresh blood spurted out.

Blood splattered onto Naruto's face.

[Paired with that bewitching single fox-like eye, it looked extremely eerie.]

Naruto's expression remained unchanged, and his voice remained calm.

"So your blood is warm too."

Then, he spoke coldly:

Tell me everything about yourself.

At this moment, Naruto and Itachi Uchiha are the only two people here.

This contrasts sharply with the pair of Itachi and Naruto standing not far from them.

Itachi Uchiha slowly raised his eyes.

[The voice held a hint of disbelief: "How did you do that?"]

This is a dojutsu (eye technique), a dojutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

[Although it's also an illusion, it's a dojutsu of one of its Mangekyou Sharingan!]

How did a child who wasn't even an Uchiha, and who didn't have the Sharingan or the Mangekyou Sharingan, manage to deflect genjutsu?

[Even more so, the opponent is a Jinchūriki, and the tailed beast sealed within him is one that is most vulnerable to genjutsu.]

【"snort!"】

The Nine-Tails' voice echoed in Naruto's mind.

"Foolish brat, I told you not to go up against the Uchiha!"

"Those eyes aren't as simple as you think!"

At this moment, within the sealed space, the Nine-Tails' chakra was almost materializing.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to penetrate Naruto's body within the Tsukuyomi world with chakra.

However, Naruto didn't think so. No, it should be said that he didn't believe this was something the Great Fox inside him could do.

[But rather—that special chakra, that babbling that exists in my mind!]

【good.】

[When Naruto was pierced through the heart by Itachi Uchiha's ninja sword.]

[The world of Tsukuyomi before our eyes has undergone subtle changes.]

At the same time, the pain that should have made him grimace was suddenly suppressed.

The special chakra existing in his mind interfered with the flow of chakra within his body, which had become disordered due to Tsukuyomi.

[“So it seems... the big fox has no idea about the whispering. Right now, that special chakra is helping me restore the flow of chakra, and the big fox's chakra is also helping... but even though the two are in contact, the big fox hasn't been able to sense its presence.”]

Tobirama Senju: I searched through all my memories, but I still couldn't find an explanation for the existence of that special chakra in Naruto's mind, or what its essence was.

Uchiha Izuna: To be able to resist the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques... this utterance is incredibly powerful!

Mei Terumi: "It's hard to imagine how strong-willed Naruto was when he was fighting against the delirium."

Ino Yamanaka: "I'm afraid... the pain I'm enduring is more terrifying than death!"

Ino felt a pang of sympathy.

Naruto's experience angered her.

The Fourth Raikage: "The crisis is not over yet!"

Onoki: "To turn those delirious thoughts into his own, Naruto with the black-rimmed glasses is truly formidable!"

Ōnoki: "Quickly defect to my Iwagakure Village!"

Onoki: "The Fourth Tsuchikage will definitely be yours... Kurotsuchi will definitely be subdued by you, hmm, everything seems so natural and reasonable!"

Onoki: "Not only will I not be as disgusting as that old monkey, the Third Hokage, resorting to underhanded tricks like pulling strings or ruling from behind the scenes, but I will also pass on all my abilities and experience to you!"

Kurotsuchi: "If I knew that kind of illusion magic, I would use it on you first."

【Why?】

[Naruto closed his eyes, and then opened them again.]

The other bright blue eye also turned scarlet.

At the same time, the beard on both sides of his face became thicker, like bristling hair.

"Now is not the time to think about these things."

【"Whispers against this illusion..."】

The thought hadn't even formed yet.

A new round of Tsukuyomi has begun.

【Om—】

[The scene of Naruto raising his ninja sword and stabbing Itachi Uchiha seems to freeze in time.]

The duo of "new" Naruto and "new" Itachi Uchiha has reappeared.

This time, Naruto was at a disadvantage again.

It seems as if nothing has changed.

Naruto is still bound to the cross.

Itachi Uchiha remained standing in front of Naruto, holding his ninja sword.

The quantity has even increased to two.

[Looking at the two Uchiha Itachi.]

Naruto keenly sensed that Something was wrong with Itachi Uchiha's condition.

【The Big Fox!】

[At that moment, I also shouted it in my heart.]

Unfortunately, there was no response this time.

【Can I only enter this world for a short while?】

[Is it because the chakra that infiltrated... no, is it because the spiritual energy contained in the chakra was too little?]

Naruto took a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes, one of the Uchiha Itachi had already raised his hand, pointing his ninja sword at his heart.

[Illusion - Released!]

[Illusion - Reversal!]

Naruto had never felt so clear-headed before.

[Sure enough, the psychological suggestion over such a long period of time worked.]

The babbling was no longer a burden, but rather a pure help.

Of course, it takes considerable effort to mobilize this power.

[Furthermore... this chakra isn't what Naruto imagined; it's not water without roots.]

The recovery process is extremely slow.

But given the current situation...

Naruto could only choose to use all the babbling he could muster.

【Om—】

[The moment the murmured chakra appeared.]

The illusory form of Uchiha Itachi immediately vanished.

The ninja sword in its hand was almost within reach, but it vanished along with the illusory Uchiha Itachi it had conjured.

Now, only Itachi Uchiha remains.

"What kind of power is that?"

"Is it the Nine-Tails?"

Itachi Uchiha murmured something.

The sound clearly reached Naruto's ears.

[Nine-tailed?]

What is the name of the big fox?

[Click—]

Just then.

Suddenly, a sound like shattering glass rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the world before Naruto's eyes cracked, as if from a mirror.

[Itachi Uchiha knelt on the ground, raising his hand to cover his left eye, blood gushing out.]

[Tsukuyomi is the eye technique of his left eye.]

[But after wiping out the Uchiha clan, they were already close to their limit.]

[He used Tsukuyomi on Naruto again.]

[I was just hit by a reflected illusion.]

At this moment, Itachi Uchiha's eye power had reached its limit.

The physical and visual pain shattered the newly formed Tsukuyomi world.

[And at the moment the Tsukuyomi world shattered, Itachi Uchiha's eyes transformed back into Sharingan.]

【Om—】

[Returning from the world of consciousness Tsukuyomi.]

Only a second had passed in the outside world.

[Itachi Uchiha's eyes, like those in the Tsukuyomi world, transformed back into the three-tomoe Sharingan.]

[Whoosh—]

As soon as his consciousness returned, Naruto sensed the changes within his body and heard the anxious voice of the large fox constantly echoing in his mind.

Without warning, Naruto felt the arms wrapped around him tighten.

[Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Izumi formed hand seals.]

[Body Instantaneous Movement Technique.]

The two disappeared from the spot.

[Itachi Uchiha covered his left eye without the slightest hesitation.]

[We absolutely cannot allow such a Jinchūriki to continue growing!]

For the peace of the ninja world.

This is a choice that must be made!

"Please."

"Wow—wow—"

A completely black crow cawed once.

Spread its wings and fly out of the room.

[Click—]

The crow smashed through the glass at incredible speed.

Under the moonlight, the crow flew swiftly, like a rapidly extending black streak.

The top of the black line also emitted a faint crimson glow.

That glimmer of red light was the crow's eye—Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan!

Kotoamatsukami!
