Waaah, You Trash Sent by the Hokage, Stop It Already
It was already noon when Naruto met Yakumo Kurama. Despite his disability, the determined Kiba Inuzuka and hopped along on one foot, leading Naruto to the Kurama Clan's mountain villa.
How did you lose?
"Hateful!"
Kiba Inuzuka was both anxious and angry, wishing he could tear off the bandages on the spot. This guy was truly a jerk; he always rubbed salt into the wound, bringing up the very thing he didn't want to talk about.
Why are you asking so many questions!
"That's true, it'll be over soon anyway. One more question, are Hinata and the others inside?" After getting a definite answer, Naruto strode inside.
Kiba Inuzuka watched Naruto's retreating figure with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but call out.
"Watch out for her Genjutsu!"
He waved his hand, which was his response.
Inside the manor where Yakumo Kurama is imprisoned, Kurenai Yuhi Yakumo Kurama using her Talk no Jutsu, Hinata and Shino stand nervously to the side. The Ninja World Lin Daiyu is clearly emotionally unstable and refuses to Talk no Jutsu.
"The Third Hokage killed my parents!"
"Yakumo, calm down."
Naruto stood there silently with his hands in his pockets, as if watching a show. He first glanced at Hinata before turning back to examine Yakumo Kurama.
[Bite!]
As luck would have it, a synthesized mechanical voice suddenly appeared in my mind at that moment.
Option 1: Tame Ido (Extremely Difficult). Reward: Ido Prophecy (once). Note: When used, the great demon Ido can break through time and space, rewrite life and death, and transcend dreams.
Option 2: Seal Ido (Easy). Reward: Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique.
"Naruto, what brings you here?" Hinata asked, somewhat surprised, but due to her mission, she couldn't move around freely.
"Yes, the Lord Hokage asked me to help," he said somewhat perfunctorily, his gaze scanning the pop-up system panel over and over again.
Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions. Yakumo Kurama's expression was the most unpleasant, her eyes fixed on Naruto. The word "Hokage" was a taboo in her heart; uttering it would come with a price.
Moreover, the Genjutsu seemed to have been activated just now. But he ignored it, keeping his eyes fixed on the options on the panel, internally cursing and unsure whether to utter a curse.
The Water Release: Great Waterfall option and the Water Release: Great Waterfall option are completely different. Moreover, sealing Ido is by no means an easy task, after all, he is an invisible spiritual entity.
In this light, the reward for option two is rather lackluster. It truly lives up to its reputation as a subpar reward; it's utterly worthless.
In contrast, even if he didn't know how to complete Option 1, he would definitely not give up on Option 1 because of its rewards.
... Ido Prophecy, yet another bizarre reward. Damn, it was either Evil God or Death Reaper a while ago, and now, it's monsters.
But despite the complaints, he still had to claim the rewards. First, he had to tame Ido; these kinds of tasks often have shorter descriptions and are more difficult.
Hinata had already suffered from Yakumo Kurama's Genjutsu, so she was naturally worried about Naruto's safety. She and Shino had both learned how to resist Genjutsu, but Naruto...
Shino had already discovered the flaw in the Genjutsu; the insects were unaffected by Genjutsu. He silently guided the insects forward, heading towards Yakumo Kurama's feet.
Kurenai Yuhi had already noticed that Yakumo Kurama had activated his Genjutsu prematurely, and her brows furrowed. She knew that the seal within Yakumo Kurama's body had long been broken, and even she could not resist Ido's Genjutsu.
Ido's Genjutsu can even affect reality, which goes far beyond the scope of Genjutsu.
Not to mention that she had never heard of Naruto learning Genjutsu before, in other words, Kurenai Yuhi did not have high expectations for Naruto's support.
Before Ido came out, she wanted Naruto to take Hinata and Shino out as soon as possible. At this time, having more people might not be helpful.
"Naruto, this has nothing to do with you. If you can, please stop Hinata and Shino." Kurenai Yuhi spoke up, trying to stop him from getting any closer.
However, Naruto seemed to ignore him and slowly walked towards Yakumo Kurama.
In an instant, the roof beams on all four sides burst into flames and collapsed without warning, engulfed in flames, and the sky and earth changed color and space distorted. The walls disappeared, leaving only a distorted starry sky.
Naruto was completely isolated. Kurenai, Hinata, and Shino felt a sudden darkness before their eyes, as if they were completely separated by space. They could only hear sounds, but could not see anyone.
Presumably, even if the original location hasn't changed, the brain has already accepted the Genjutsu, and now what we see may no longer be real. If this continues for a while, even our voices might be deceived.
"A nobody sent by the Hokage! I'll teach you a lesson now!"
"Slap!" A crisp slap rang out.
"You!! You actually!!! Why aren't you under the Genjutsu?" Yakumo Kurama's voice, filled with shock and anger, rang out Kurenai Yuhi and the other two looked up upon hearing this.
What's going on?
A crisp slap rang out again, followed by another scream from Yakumo Kurama. The three of them still hadn't heard Naruto's voice, but could discern his Naruto from the increasingly frequent slaps.
Clap clap clap!
"Ah!! You coward! You coward! Stop it!"
The only response she received was a slap, so hard that her voice became distorted, probably because her face was already swollen. Even when she managed to shout, it sounded like it was stuck in her throat.
"Stop hitting me, waah!! No!! Please!! Stop it!"
The Genjutsu space, which should have been fraught with danger, was filled only with Yakumo Kurama's screams. She had originally thought that she could quickly deal with Naruto and then the other three.
However, this situation was unexpected, so much so that Yakumo Kurama had no intention of harming Kurenai Yuhi and the other two.
"Waaaaah!! Slap slap slap!!"
Hearing the sickening slaps and pleas for mercy, even the usually indifferent Shino couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If this continued, someone might die.
"If this continues, that thing will come out," Kurenai Yuhi said worriedly.
Suddenly, a beastly roar echoed through the Genjutsu space. It carried a chilling, murderous aura, and the roar was long and seemingly endless.
"Oh no! That guy's out! Hinata! Shino! We need to find a way to get out of here!" Kurenai Yuhi exclaimed.
"It's too late." Yakumo Kurama sat limply on the ground, his face swollen like a pig's head, forcing a smile.
"Teacher Kurenai, what is that? What is that?" Hinata asked instinctively.
"The insects sensed a demonic aura," Shino added.
Meanwhile, in the space where Naruto was.
Ido had already revealed himself, with a blue face, fangs, and red eyes. Naruto didn't stop, seemingly completely immune to Genjutsu. He casually slapped away the fireball Ido was spewing, and it instantly dissipated.
"Go to hell!" Ido uttered in a human voice, his voice as grating as a knife cutting through glass.
The next moment, the demon-like Ido charged towards Naruto with Naruto in hand. He was incredibly fast, and the kunai rained down like raindrops, each strike cutting through the wind.
Naruto dodged the blows with a series of quick movements, then without hesitation, slapped Ido hard across the face. Ido was instantly stunned, his movements freezing for a moment.
Yakumo Kurama was also dumbfounded, looking at Naruto as if he had seen a ghost.
"How could you! This is my space!" Ido roared.
"Oh."
With a loud slap, he struck Ido again, sending Ido flying and crashing to the ground. Ido scrambled to his feet, one of his fangs broken off.
"How were you able to touch me? That's impossible!"
Upon hearing this, Naruto stepped forward and delivered another brutal beating. Compared to teaching Yakumo Kurama, Ido was completely beaten beyond recognition, his face caved in, his arms broken, and his legs bent.
Yakumo Kurama, who was slumped to the side, didn't dare to turn her head to look. Ido's appearance was too miserable, and she was afraid that she would also have her arms and legs broken by that brutal guy.
Ido's painful screams echoed through the Genjutsu space. Kurenai Yuhi, Hinata, Shino stood there dumbfounded, watching Naruto torment Ido at will.
"Teacher Kurenai, it's Naruto oh." Hinata was speechless.
The Genjutsu curtains around them remained, making it impossible for the three of them to see anything clearly.
"Maybe... maybe she's exceptionally gifted." Kurenai Yuhi was also somewhat dumbfounded.
Through the Genjutsu curtain, she didn't know what had happened on Naruto's side, only that Naruto was in a position of advantage.
But it's hard to say exactly how much of an advantage it has.
After all, Yakumo Kurama's Genjutsu was simply too overpowered. Even though she was Jonin renowned for her Genjutsu, she could only try to persuade her with her Talk no Jutsu.
After all, she might win by a small margin by using Genjutsu magic, but if she accidentally forces Ido out, the entire village will be affected.
Based on what we've heard so far, it's not hard to deduce the whole story. Yakumo Kurama was probably beaten up by Naruto, and then Ido came out and, it seems, was also beaten up.
Thinking of this, Kurenai Yuhi was exasperated, realizing that this didn't seem like Genjutsu. Yakumo Kurama wouldn't be so cruel as to create such illusions to fool them.
After all, the screams were far too realistic. Yet, this very sound pointed the truth in an almost impossible direction, leaving even the most knowledgeable woman lost in thought.
Could it be that Naruto is truly unaffected by Genjutsu?
If so, either he has mastered some kind of mental Ninjutsu, or Naruto's Genjutsu skills surpass those of everyone present.
However, Kurenai Yuhi couldn't find any trace of Naruto learning Genjutsu, so she ruled out the second possibility. Finally, she reached her conclusion.
It's more likely that Naruto trained in mental Ninjutsu, which would give him resistance to certain Genjutsu.
With a loud bang, Naruto crushed one of Ido's legs.
"This is my technique, you can't kill me!" Ido still stubbornly said, staring at Naruto with resentment.
Naruto paused for a moment upon hearing this, then continued punching. He shattered Ido's hand with a bang, and then slammed another punch into its face.
Ido's wails echoed continuously within the Genjutsu space.
At first, everyone was extremely tense, but as time passed and they listened to the pitiful wails, they became somewhat tired. Even Yakumo Kurama, who had been terrified and collapsed to the ground, was no longer afraid and sat on the ground with her knees drawn up, watching Ido being beaten.
With a loud bang, Naruto practically crushed every shatterable part of Ido's body with his fists. But he found that Ido had been roaring angrily at the beginning, had later fallen silent.
"A monster is a monster after all; its endurance is truly extraordinary." Naruto squatted on the ground, rubbing his chin in thought, having already experienced the difficulty of Option 1 for the first time.
Seeing Ido lying limply on the ground, and the surrounding Genjutsu seemingly becoming unstable, he frowned. This couldn't go on.
The first task in the system's options is to tame Ido. If the Genjutsu curtain disappears and Kurenai Yuhi comes along and seals Ido away for ten or eight years, he'll really be devastated.
After thinking it over, Naruto grabbed Ido and slapped him hard across the face again.
"Now, go back to where you came from!"
"Then! Hide well! Don't let anyone find you, or I'll torture you even more."
He said in a cold voice, his tone eerie, like the whisper of Evil God: "Wait for me, I will come back for you."
Ido raised his swollen eyelids, a hint of fear and despair flashing in his eyes. But seeing that Naruto was about to attack again, he could only turn into a wisp of smoke and return to Yakumo Kurama's body.
The Genjutsu dissipated, and Kurenai Yuhi walked over with Hinata and Shino. Seeing Yakumo Kurama's face swollen like a pig's head, Naruto stood unharmed to the side, arms crossed, seemingly indifferent.
"What just happened?" Kurenai Yuhi glanced at Yakumo Kurama, making sure he hadn't gone mad, before secretly letting out a sigh of relief.
"Naruto, are you alright?" Hinata ran to Naruto's side, quickly lowered her head, and asked in a low voice.
Standing to the side, relegated to the background, Shino was speechless upon hearing this, thinking to himself, what could that guy possibly have done? Anyone with eyes could see that Naruto had beaten up Yakumo Kurama.
"I just cut my finger," Naruto said, raising his right hand with a shameless grin.
"Let me see." Hinata was so concerned that she didn't react in time and actually reached out to take his hand, wanting to see it clearly.
"What's her condition now?" Kurenai Yuhi pointed somewhat awkwardly to Yakumo Kurama, who was squatting on the ground beside her, her face full of worry.
"It's alright for now, Ido has been sealed away." Naruto said to Kurenai Yuhi, while using his other hand to press down Hinata's outstretched hand and directly pinching her small hand.
She added to Kurenai Yuhi, "If you're still worried, you can give her another check-up, after all, she's your disciple, Teacher Kurenai."
After he finished speaking, he reached out and pulled Hinata over, casually pinching her cheek.
"I'm just kidding, don't believe everything."
Hinata didn't feel wronged; her gaze remained fixed on his hand. She was also a little shy, not daring to look at his hand again, her lingering gaze somewhat amusing.
"I don't have any flowers in my hand." He opened his hand with a hint of helplessness. His palm was clean and undamaged, and there were indeed no wounds.
"That's good," she said.
Kurenai went over to check, Yakumo Kurama still wanted to resist, but Naruto glanced at her and immediately shuddered and became obedient.
Sure enough, after having a complete childhood Yakumo Kurama looked much more pleasing to the eye.
Kurenai Yuhi Hand Seals and placed her hand on Yakumo Kurama's forehead. After a brief examination, she indeed couldn't find Ido's figure, and her expression softened.
