"Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is very weird. He is immune to my illusion."
"Both the basic illusions and the advanced illusions incorporating Sharingan's pupil power are all ineffective on him."
"In addition, Jiraiya, one of Sannin, was also present at the time. After a brief fight, Kisame and I judged that the risk of continuing the fight was too great, so we chose to retreat."
After Itachi finished speaking, the cave instantly became quiet.
Everyone's eyes were unanimously focused on Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi, as an S-class rebellious nin who is famous for his illusions in the ninja world, the holder of the Mangekyō Sharingan, and the man who slaughtered his entire clan with his own hands, actually admitted that his illusions were ineffective against a twelve-year-old genin.
"Is Itachi immune to genjutsu?"
"This is really rare!"
A voice broke the silence, with a hint of amusement in his tone.
Itachi Uchiha glanced at this figure and spoke slowly again:
"I later analyzed that my Sharingan Genjutsu did successfully enter Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's Chakra system, but the illusion Chakra was directly decomposed by some force before it came into contact with his consciousness."
"The whole process was clean and tidy, without any sign of Chakra confrontation."
"Did you hear that Mr. Itachi's illusion was ineffective against that Nine-Tails brat? I was holding Jiraiya off by myself at that time."
"Samehada The battle ended before we even had enough to eat."
"But having said that, that guy Jiraiya is indeed one of the Sannins. The big Toad that came out of the channel chopped off several sharks of mine. I will have to settle the score carefully next time I meet him."
Kisame grinned, revealing two rows of sharp shark teeth.
"If a Jinchuriki is not affected by illusions, the difficulty of capturing it will directly increase by several levels."
Scorpion's voice came from another finger.
"Jinchuriki can indeed be immune to illusions."
At this moment, Black Zetsu, who had been silent all this time, spoke.
"When Jinchuriki and Tailed Beast in the body reach a consensus and become true partners, Tailed Beast can actively disrupt the flow of Chakra in Jinchuriki's body at the moment Jinchuriki is attacked by illusion, thus breaking any external Chakra invasion."
"This is one of the signs of Perfect Jinchuriki."
"Of course, this kind of immunity is not absolutely unbreakable, but it's just that ordinary illusions really can't do anything about it."
Black Zetsu's words caused everyone present to fall into silence.
Perfect Jinchuriki?
This word has not been mentioned in Shinobi World for a long time.
The last person recognized as Perfect Jinchuriki was Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer B from Kumogakure.
And now, Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha, Genin, who is only twelve years old, has actually reached this level.
"Regardless of whether Nine-Tails Jinchuriki can fully control Nine-Tails's power, he is our target."
"Nine-Tails has the largest amount of Chakra among all Tailed Beast. It must be left to be absorbed at the end, otherwise the balance of Demonic Statue of the Outer Path will be broken."
"But now is not the best time to arrest."
"Orochimaru's defection has caused the organization to lose part of its combat power. We need time to accumulate strength."
"Three years later, the plan will officially begin."
"Our goal is to leave all Tailed Beast in all major ninja villages, from One-Tail to Nine-Tails."
"Before the final plan is launched, everyone will continue their respective tasks, accumulate strength, and collect intelligence."
Pain After finishing his words, the shadows on the fingers in the cave began to dissipate one by one.
When the last shadow disappeared into the darkness, the cave fell into deep silence again.
The Ten-Tails statue still stands silently in the center of the cave, its nine closed eyes seeming to be sleeping or waiting.
Otogakure
In an underground stronghold.
"Damn Naruto Uzumaki!"
Orochimaru was lying on the bed, his whole body covered with bandages.
His arms hung weakly at his sides, and the persistent severe pain from his hands made Orochimaru's face distorted.
Although Naruto's Rasenshuriken shot at Tanzaku Town did not hit him directly, the shock wave and the aftermath of the wind blade still destroyed his body, which was already on the verge of collapse due to Reaper Death Seal, to the limit.
At this moment, Kabuto Yakushi, who was also wrapped in bandages, opened the door and walked in.
"Lord Orochimaru, how do you feel?"
"Kabuto, are your injuries feeling better?"
Orochimaru reluctantly turned his head and looked at his most capable subordinate.
"Thanks to you, things are getting much better."
"Naruto Uzumaki's move is not only the ultimate use of the wind attribute Chakra Nature Transformation, but its internal Chakra structure will actively spread countless cutting forces down to the cellular level after hitting the target."
"These tiny Chakra blades will penetrate into body surface wounds, continue to penetrate deep along the intercellular spaces, and continue to destroy the surrounding tissue structure."
"My right arm and left leg were continuously cut by the residual Chakra. It took two full days just to remove the residual Chakra."
"If we had been a step too late and been hit head-on, we probably wouldn't have been able to find even a complete tissue fragment by now."
Kabuto Yakushi As he spoke, he looked down at the wounds on his arms that were still aching, with a hint of fear in his tone.
"Kabuto, this body is no longer good."
"Reaper Death Seal's injuries plus the injuries left by Naruto Uzumaki can last for a month at most. A new reincarnation container must be found before then."
"Sasuke It's almost time over there."
"You ask Tayuya and the others to go to Konoha immediately and bring Sasuke back."
"Okay, Lord Orochimaru."
Kabuto Yakushi turned around and was about to leave. As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by Orochimaru.
"Wait Kabuto, tell Tayuya and the others that if they encounter Naruto Uzumaki, don't fight and retreat immediately."
"His perception is terrible. We were hiding inside the mountain at least a few hundred meters away from him, and used Snake Hiding Technique to suppress the Chakra fluctuations. However, he was able to accurately lock my position while fighting fiercely with Tsunade."
"This cannot be explained by ordinary Sensory Ninjutsu. He must have some kind of perception method that is beyond common sense."
"Tell Tayuya them not to underestimate him."
Kabuto Yakushi's glasses reflected in the dim candlelight, then nodded, opened the door and left.
After Kabuto's footsteps disappeared at the end of the corridor, Orochimaru lay alone in the dark room, staring at the reflection of the candlelight that kept beating on the ceiling and murmured:
"Naruto Uzumaki, how did you find me?"
Konoha, Hokage Building.
The day after Tsunade officially took office as Hokage, he asked Shizune to call Shikamaru and Naruto to Hokage Office.
Shikamaru put his hands in his trouser pockets and pushed open the door of Hokage Office with a troubled expression.
Naruto took Karin and walked in together.
This was the first time for Karin to enter Hokage Building. Following Naruto, she carefully looked at this spacious and bright office. The portraits of Hokage from all over the world hanging on the wall made her hold her breath involuntarily.
"Lord Hokage."
Shikamaru bowed politely.
"Tsunade mother-in-law!"
Naruto shouted.
Karin also bowed quickly and said softly, "Lord Hokage!".
Tsunade is sitting behind a large desk with three appointment letters between his fingers.
