Chapter 218
The Third Hokage asked Li Yue curiously.
Li Yue smiled and looked at Sakura, and everyone else immediately looked at Sakura as well.
Could it be that Li Yue has taken a liking to...?
Sakura opened her eyes wide and the corners of her mouth began to turn up.
"No."
Sakura's expression froze.
389. I will give you special training!
Under Sakura's expectant gaze, Li Yue directly rejected her on the spot, which dealt a huge blow to Sakura. However, Sakura is not the kind of person who gives up easily, so she quickly recovered. Since she couldn't get recognition now, she would find a way to get it and become Sasuke's wife through this method!
Li Yue arrived at the tower in the Forest of Death on the fourth day, so she still needs to wait one more day before the preliminary round of the third exam will take place.
Because this time, in addition to the Land of Water, other villages also sent people, resulting in a large number of participants, so it was necessary to filter out some people.
During this extra day, Li Yue took the opportunity to check on Sasuke's current abilities.
Inside a small training ground within the tower, all members of Team 7 were gathered, along with the Third Hokage. They had come together to see Sasuke's current power.
Standing opposite Li Yue, Sasuke drew his Zanpakuto from his waist and held it upright in front of him.
"Open your eyes, Indra!"
What was originally an ordinary standard samurai sword had its Tsuba) transformed into Three Tomoe eye, and the blade turned blood red. With the release of the Zanpakuto, Sasuke's Reiatsu suddenly increased several times over. Naruto and Sakura, who were not far away, immediately felt a pressure. Kakashi and Hiruzen Sarutobi were fine, as this amount of Reiatsu did not have much of an effect on them, but they could still feel the power.
"Although it's not the first time I've seen it, it still feels amazing every time I see it. Is this the new power that Sasuke has mastered?"
Kakashi couldn't help but sigh, while Hiruzen Sarutobi, with his pipe in his Sasuke, Zanpakuto's Tsuba, where the Three Tomoe Sharingan was slowly rotating.
Without needing to open his eyes, he only needed to unleash his Zanpakuto to directly obtain the power of the Three Tomoe Sharingan. Moreover, he could directly exert soul pressure on opponents of the same level. This is the power of the Zanpakuto, a completely new system different from that of ninjas. It is with this power that Li Yue, Indra's butler, has been able to live to this day, for over a thousand years!
Hiruzen Sarutobi focused his gaze on Li Yue, who was opposite Sasuke.
A person who has lived for over a thousand years, living eternal life standing right in front of him—to be honest, Hiruzen Sarutobi was tempted. He wanted that kind of power, that kind of eternal life too!
"By the way, why is Sasuke's sword named Indra? Isn't that his ancestor?"
Naruto looked at the sword in Sasuke and asked curiously.
Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and then began to explain.
"According to the butler, Zanpakuto are the power of the soul, and the name of Zanpakuto is related to the soul itself. Sasuke is a descendant of Uchiha... oh no, Otsutsuki Indra. According to the butler, he is Indra Clan. Perhaps it is because of the bloodline of the Indra Clan that his sword is named Indra."
"They're about to begin."
Kakashi spoke up to remind them, and everyone's attention turned to Sasuke and Li Yue.
Having completed his liberation, Sasuke immediately turned the hilt of his sword, pointing the Three Tomoe Sharingan the Tsuba at Li Yue, and immediately activated the genjutsu inherent in the Three Tomoe Sharingan.
However, the moment the genjutsu was activated, Sasuke suddenly lunged forward, rolled over, and slashed behind him with his sword. He then looked back with a tense expression.
Kakashi and the others shook their heads helplessly. Clearly, Sasuke, who was trying to activate his Sharingan genjutsu, had been controlled by Li Yue.
Moreover, Sasuke was completely unaware of this and even believed he was in the middle of a battle.
"Judging from the current situation, Sasuke seems to think he is fighting the butler at close range."
Kakashi reluctantly provided the explanation.
"Didn't we lose right from the start?"
Naruto couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark from the side, and then immediately burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Sasuke, that guy, he's always so exaggerated and shouting around, I never thought he'd lose right away, hahaha!"
"Naruto! You idiot!"
Seeing Naruto's arrogant attitude, Sakura punched him on the head, knocking Naruto to the ground.
Is now the time to talk about this?
Kakashi looked at his two students speechlessly, shook his head helplessly, and then looked at Sasuke on the field.
Sasuke's movements became faster and faster, and his expression became more and more tense. It was clear that he was being overwhelmed in the genjutsu and was having a very difficult time dealing with it. But in reality, he was just fighting against thin air all by himself.
After ten minutes of intense physical exertion against the air, Sasuke lost his balance and collapsed to his knees. The extreme exertion had taken its toll on his stamina.
"Oh? Are you tired already?"
"No way! I can fight you all day long!"
Hearing Li Yue's voice, Sasuke looked up to retort, then realized that he was talking to a wall. He quickly turned around and found Li Yue standing not far behind him with her arms crossed.
"Wait, what just happened!? Shouldn't you be...?"
"Sasuke, you've been controlled by genjutsu."
Kakashi, who was standing nearby, helped explain.
"Hateful!"
Sasuke immediately understood what was going on. After all, a few months ago, when he had just obtained the Zanpakuto, he had been toyed with by Li Yue using genjutsu. Several months had passed, and the forgotten memories had returned!
Even the genjutsu of the Three Tomoe Sharingan completely ineffective against him.
"You're still the same as when I left—useless and incompetent."
Li Yue uttered a chorus of disdainful taunts, and Sasuke's fist hardened once more.
"Months have passed, and you're still exactly the same as before. Is it because you've spent so much time with this bunch of trash that you think you're so great?"
#!
My fists are hard, but only Naruto and Sakura are hard; I never expected to be one of them too.
Sasuke gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, unwilling to give up, preparing to continue attacking Li Yue, but Li Yue simply shook his head.
"There's no need to test you anymore. You can't even shake off the most basic sense of direction. To me, you haven't improved at all. Your blade can't touch me in the slightest. Just like I said, you were just as useless and incompetent as when I left."
!
Sasuke gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, glaring at Li Yue. If he could, he would bite Li Yue to death.
"Then make me stronger! This power was given to me by you, so teach me how to become stronger!"
Kakashi definitely couldn't teach Sasuke the power of the Bleach, so after joining Team 7, Kakashi couldn't teach him anything. He couldn't teach Kakashi things like climbing trees and walking on water, since Sasuke had no Chakra left.
"Snort!"
Li Yue slightly raised her chin.
"Although you are useless and incompetent, as you said, your power was given to you by me. Moreover, you are the head of the Otsutsuki clan and have the mission of continuing the bloodline of Indra. Whether it is for the sake of the Indra Clan or to avoid disgracing me, you must become stronger. Therefore, I will give you special training from now on!"
390. A mute becomes a ninja, a disabled person plays with magic.
[So Arrogant! It's so great to be able to travel the world; I can go wherever I want.]
[The Perverted Scum Man: That depends on the situation. If you accidentally travel to a dangerous world, you really can die.]
So Arrogant! That's true, but it doesn't work for us.
[That Perverted Scum Man: It might not work on you, but it might not work on me.]
[So Arrogant! Now that you mention it, it's true. Does that mean I'll never lose?! Hahahaha!!!]
[Meme Lord: Is it possible that your immortality is useless once you leave your world?]
[So Arrogant: Uh... senpai, really?]
[Meme Lord: Guess.]
[So Arrogant! Well...]
[Perverted Scum Man: Hahahaha!!!]
The conversation between Subaru Kazuma made Li Yue want to laugh. Kazuma was the same as always; he was someone who easily recognized reality, so he understood that his rebirth ability came from Aqua having Eris open a back door in the Celestial Realm, and he didn't think that he would be immortal in other worlds. Subaru, on the other hand, was a bit too confident. Not knowing where his save-load ability came from, he thought he could save-load in other worlds as well.
In reality, if the two of them were to leave their own worlds, they would be doomed. Without Aqua's help, Kazuma would Kazuma die if he died, unless that world was also managed by Aqua and her gods. As for Subaru, the witch's power would probably be unusable in other worlds, and if Subaru died then, he would truly be dead.
As for why Li Yue was also chatting with the two of them, it was naturally because he had nothing to do at the moment.
There's only one day left before the start of the third Chunin Exams preliminary rounds, and Li Yue is currently giving Sasuke special training. What kind of training is this?
That is to directly slap his soul out of his body and transform him into the form of Bleach. The battle of Bleach is a battle of Reiatsu. As long as the Reiatsu is strong enough, the Bleach's fighting power will become stronger. And in the soul state, the training of Reiatsu is more efficient than in the human state.
Therefore, Sasuke's body was now as if he were dead, with no heartbeat or breath, lying motionless to the side, while his soul was on the open ground next to him, enduring Li Yue's Reiatsu.
Meanwhile, Li Yue was releasing her Reiatsu to put pressure on Sasuke while chatting with her friends in the group chat.
[This is Hip-Hop: So, Hashirama, you've returned to the ninja world now?]
[Meme Lord: Yes, I've returned to the ninja world.]
!
Upon hearing Li Yue say that he had returned to the ninja world, Uchiha Madara became nervous.
He believed his plan could succeed, and that he would be resurrected with the help of the Rinnegan, but this was contingent on Senju Hashirama not being present, because in Uchiha Madara's eyes, Senju Hashirama was the only man who could rival him.
He devised so many plans, all of which were only implemented after Senju Hashirama died. Before Senju Hashirama's death, he would never have appeared, and the plans would never have been executed.
But now that the plan is halfway through, Senju Hashirama has somehow survived!?
Senju Hashirama not only survived, but he even returned to the ninja world. Once the other side knows about his plan, can his plan really be carried out?
The thing he had been worried about had really happened. He could only hope that Black Zetsu and Obito would be smart enough to hide themselves and not let Senju Hashirama find out.
[Meme Lord: Madara, I remember you mentioned your plan before, what exactly did you prepare?]
Looking at Li Yue's comments, Uchiha Madara felt a headache coming on. He had been careless and caused Senju Hashirama to take it to heart. Several months had passed, and he thought Senju Hashirama had forgotten, but Senju Hashirama had actually remembered!
[This is Hip-Hop: Hmph, why didn't you have such a good memory before?]
When he was alive, Senju Hashirama didn't have such a good memory. How come his memory became so good after he died? It's been months and he still remembers this. It's unbelievable.
Inside the Pure Land, Uchiha Madara looked at Li Yue's message with great helplessness. He wished he could be resurrected right now to inform Black Zetsu and Obito, but unfortunately, he couldn't.
[The Strongest Coordinator: The world of ninjas, huh? How amazing. I never imagined that besides magic, there was such a thing as Ninjutsu. I've only ever seen this kind of thing in movies.]
[Cheating Engineering Man: Are ninjas the kind who can stay underwater and breathe using a reed?]
[Meme Lord: I don't think he's that kind of ninja.]
[The Cheating Engineering Man: What about the attack methods? What's the underlying principle? Throwing smoke grenades and then throwing darts?]
[Meme Lord: While smoke bombs and throwing stars do exist, in the ninja world they're called shuriken, but they're more often used in Ninjutsu.]
[Cheating Engineering Man: So what's the principle behind Ninjutsu?]
[Meme Lord: Uses Chakra within the human body as energy output, then converts it into different attributes to attack enemies or heal allies.]
[The Strongest Coordinator: Sounds almost the same as magic?]
[Cheating Engineering Man: Indeed, apart from the names, there's no difference.]
[Fat Woman in Black Stockings: Now that you mention it, it's really true. Apart from the name, they're practically the same?]
[Meme Lord: It's different, isn't it? Magic is different in every world, and Ninjutsu is different from magic, especially in how it's cast.]
[Hair Gel Man in the Sky: So far, the magic casting methods I've seen are basically all cast through chanting. By the way, my Kido is the same; it's all cast through chanting. Of course, those who are powerful enough can directly abandon chanting to cast, which is faster, but the intensity will be weakened.]
[So Arrogant! So, a mute can't be a magician!]
[This is Hip-Hop: Ninjutsu doesn't require chanting, but it does require hand seals; only by performing hand seals can Ninjutsu be released.]
[Perverted Scum Man: Does that mean a mute who can't be a magician can become a ninja?]
[Meme Lord: Madara, do Ninjutsu require hand seals?]
[This is Hip-Hop: Hmm?]
[Meme Lord: Aren't Ninjutsu usually just a matter of clapping your hands together?]
[This is Hip-Hop: Now that you mention it... it seems to make sense.]
[Fat Woman in Black Stockings: So, a mute can't be a magician, and a disabled person can't be a ninja?]
This is Hip-Hop:...
[Meme Lord: The angle is quite unique! But it's basically correct!]
391. Death Training Method
While chatting with other members in the Chat Group, Li Yue continued to suppress Sasuke's spiritual power, forcing Sasuke to use his own spiritual power to fight back.
