Whether the ninja world is in chaos or not, I, Naruto, have the final say

------

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

In an instant, dozens of shadow clones scattered in all directions.

Not long after, the instrument group returned to the forest with a bunch of instruments, including guitars, basses, drums, recorders, accordions, and everything else...

The ten shadow clones of the musical instrument group quickly got into the state.

When you pluck the strings, melodious music spreads out.

Chakra flows melodiously with the rhythm of the music.

Illusion: Rhythm of the Heart (C Rank)

It is an auditory illusion that Naruto has developed over the years through his 4000-point music talent and his own talent for illusion.

Music is used to make people indulge in the illusion. The more musical instruments are used, the stronger the illusion will be... The shadow clones of the ten musical instrument groups cast the spell together, allowing the illusion to reach the C-level.

Naruto's main focus is on resisting illusions. The development of this illusion was just a whim of the instrument group, but the effect is still acceptable.

In the future, the higher your attainments in illusion and music, and the more resonant instruments there are, the more powerful the illusion will be!

As for now, it was enough for Kurama Yakumo to let Naruto peek into his mind without any resistance...

Close your eyes, open your eyes.

The scenery around me has changed.

We were no longer in the forest, but were surrounded by narrow caves. The caves were not made of stone... but pieces of deformed, twisted flesh.

The stench, the coldness, the wriggling of the flesh...

Good place to lose SAN!

Taking a deep breath, he knew that Kurama Yakumo's illusion actually had limitations. At least it would not affect his own strength within the illusion.

Taking a step forward, he went deeper into the cave.

And then he saw...himself?

No, it was a pattern made up of countless pieces of twisted flesh and inlaid on the wall of the cave. The clothing and hairstyle of that pattern were extremely similar to his own!

Naruto was shocked: "Is this the image of me in your mind?"

In fact, the inner world is full of strange things, and it’s normal to look anything like it.

However, under this pattern embedded in the flesh wall, Naruto discovered a monster with a green face and fangs, which looked ugly no matter how he looked at it, standing there.

He reached out, grabbed the piece of meat that belonged to Naruto's pattern and chewed it.

But no matter how much it devours, the picture will grow new pieces of flesh, making the monster that keeps devouring extremely annoyed!

"This is all because of you, Naruto."

The monster stopped eating and turned around suddenly.

boom! ! !

The cave was expanding and the monster's body was growing wildly. In the blink of an eye, it reached a height of more than ten meters and looked down at Naruto.

"You've disturbed her heart!"

"It is because of you that I was able to gain the power to awaken earlier! Now, you have become a burden to us, and it is time for me to erase your existence..."

A huge palm covered it.

Boom!

Naruto's body was beaten into a meat patty neatly.

The next moment, Naruto, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly dissipated into smoke.

Both the original body and the shadow clone received the memory instantly.

"What the hell?"

"It's a bit scary, to be honest."

"Can it attack? It's just gigantic, and it doesn't look very strong. I wonder if it can withstand the Rasengan?"

The shadow clones started chattering.

Combining the information on illusions he had read before, Naruto knew that the so-called inner monster was nothing more than the mental illness he had mentioned in his previous life...

But it is very easy for a ninja to turn into a monster when he goes crazy.

Illusionists in particular can, under special circumstances, materialize their inner thoughts in the form of illusions, and can even face their inner demons directly, with the two communicating like dual personalities.

"Naruto, are you okay?"

Seeing everyone's unhappy expressions, Kurama Yakumo couldn't help but become worried.

Naruto smiled, "Small problem, keep going!"

Then another shadow clone sat down.

Kurama Yakumo relaxed his mind and allowed him to enter his heart.

Soon, the information about the "Monster in the Heart" was quickly grasped by the shadow clones...

"We are not the same enemy!"

“That thing is simply unsolvable!”

"The Rasengan is useless!"

"I told you that it's an illusion. Use illusion to counter it!"

"Failed, the enemy's combat power is too high!"

"Is this thing invincible in illusion?"

As time passed, the shadow clones shattered one after another.

Naruto was in a dilemma. That thing was simply unsolvable in illusion, and it was inside Yakumo Kurama's heart.

It can then use Kurama Yakumo's illusion abilities.

No, not just use it, but even better!

As the clock passed midnight, Naruto's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he frantically thought about all the countermeasures in his mind...

Killing Kurama Yakumo is easy.

It's very difficult to get rid of the demon-like monster in her heart!

Suddenly, the system's prompt interrupted his thoughts——

Chapter 68: Sage Mode: Killing Frogs

"Naruto, are you okay?"

Seeing Naruto frowning in thought, Kurama Yakumo's voice was full of concern.

Her eyes were red, and she whispered, "If...if it's really too dangerous, then let Teacher Hong seal...seal my ability!"

"It doesn't matter even if I can't become a ninja in my lifetime!"

When I made this decision, tears flowed from my eyes.

Inside, I am struggling.

But when she saw Naruto's distressed expression, she didn't want to hesitate any longer.

Yes, even if I can't be a ninja in this life...

(Who says we can't be ninjas?)

(Just based on the few words of Xi Ri Hong? Just based on the fear of our parents and clan members? Or is it just the nonsense of this yellow-haired guy?)

(With our strength, how difficult is it to get rid of those lying trash? Leave it to me, I will kill all the things that threaten us and make us suffer!)

The roar of that voice in my head was getting louder and louder.

No, you can't come out!

You can't hurt Naruto!

"I am fine."

Naruto's voice finally sounded.

He smiled and said, "I was too arrogant before. With my own strength, it seems that I can't do anything about what's in your heart..."

"But if there are two of us, then yes!"

It's past twelve o'clock in the morning.

New day, new options.

The system's prompts pointed him in the direction.

Want to defeat the inner demons of the illusion master in her inner world?

This matter is simply a fantasy.

Unless, let that inner demon come out!

"Yakumo, release the illusion."

"Cover us all!"

The latter was stunned: "Huh?"

Then she wiped away her tears and smiled: "Okay! I believe you!"

At this moment, her illusion seemed to have broken through some shackles.

Soar one level higher!

There was no contact, no eye contact, no sound or anything else. In just a moment, Naruto and Kurama Yakumo entered the illusion!

And it was this huge improvement that finally broke the monster in her heart free! Like a twisted evil ghost, it tore a hole in the illusory space and crawled in!

"You!" Kurama Yakumo instinctively wasn't afraid of it, but was just wondering: "What on earth are you?"

"I am you."

The monster that crawled out spoke in a calm tone that was filled with hysteria. It just stared at Kurama Yakumo: "I was born from the gap deep in your heart. I am your unconscious..."

"You can call me 'Ido'!"

"The purpose of my birth is to fulfill your wish..."

As it spoke, the surrounding scenery changed.

The forest, which was exactly the same as in reality, began to distort.

Large pieces of bloody thorns spread in all directions, inflicting unparalleled malice on Naruto...

"You want to kill him."

"You want revenge on your people and teacher."

"You want to destroy Konoha as well, as it's in the way."

"And I will fulfill your wish!"

Without saying a word, Kurama Yakumo stepped forward to block Naruto and shouted, "That's nonsense. I don't want to do any of the things you said!"
