From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 96 Let's Immerse ourselves in the world of illusion.
At that moment, Mei Terumi understood.

It turns out that the fact that the Anbu couldn't see her was neither an illusion nor a deliberate trick, but rather because of the blank sheet of paper left to her by her ninja brother.

Ninja brother.
She subconsciously reached out and gently stroked the mysterious symbols on the white paper.

It seems that this can bring her a little bit of psychological comfort.

Bloodstained fingertips traced the white paper, but unexpectedly, the mysterious symbol suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke upon contact with the blood.

boom!
A figure appeared in the rising smoke.

The young man with short, black hair wore black-rimmed glasses. He had a tall and straight posture, a clean and gentle appearance, and a pair of pure and clear eyes that seemed to contain a tranquil ocean.

"Ninja Brother"

Mei Terumi gripped the paper tightly, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Upon seeing Uchiha Muneki, she felt an overwhelming sense of grievance, which erupted like a volcano, completely uncontrollable. Her carefully constructed facade of strength crumbled instantly.

She couldn't believe she could actually see her ninja brother again: "Are you really... my ninja brother?"

Looking at the burning village before me, and the thick, lingering stench of blood in the air.

Looking down at the girl before him, whose skin was ulcerated from the flames and whose body was almost entirely covered in sores, Uchiha Muneki instantly guessed what had happened. Deep within his eyes, a violent ripple stirred, and his deep voice carried a hint of suppressed emotion: "It's me. I'm sorry."

His feelings were complicated. He had thought that the measures he had taken would ensure the safety of the village.

But who would have thought that this would ultimately lead to this outcome?

"Wow--!"

Mei Terumi completely broke down, throwing herself into his arms and sobbing loudly, "Ninja brother...they...they killed...they killed Grandma, they killed everyone!"

"Everyone is dead! I'm all alone now. Waaaaah."

The girl's heart-wrenching cries instantly alerted the nearby secret agents.

"I've found you!"

They thought they had found the person's hidden side, but to their surprise, they discovered an unexpected person.

Although he had never met him before, it didn't stop him from recognizing the person at a glance through his highly distinctive glasses: "It's you—Uchiha Munetsuki!"

"Don't cry, Mei Terumi."

Uchiha Munezuki ignored the Anbu and gently comforted the crying girl in his arms.

appease!

His words carried a gentle power, slowly and softly seeping into the girl's heart.

Gradually, the girl's excited emotions calmed down.

The magic of palm!
The healing chakra, glowing with green light, was healing the girl's external injuries.

"Sleep, sleep," Uchiha Muneki's voice was like a lullaby, gently patting the girl's back. "You'll feel better when you wake up."

"Ninja Brother"

Mei Terumi felt her eyelids grow heavy, murmured softly, and slowly closed her eyes.

After hypnotizing the girl and immersing her in a beautiful dream.

Holding the girl in his arms, Uchiha Munetsuki slowly shifted his gaze toward the Mist Shadow Anbu.

hum!
The moment that gaze fell upon them, the members of the Mist Shadow Annihilation Force felt as if the air around them was about to freeze.

The heavy sense of oppression made it incredibly difficult for him to even breathe, as if the air around him had turned into a viscous liquid, and his heart felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on it.

So strong, so incredibly strong!

Just one look from him was enough to immobilize him.

The gap was too big. Only now did the Anbu finally realize that the gap between themselves and Uchiha Muneki was even greater than the gap between themselves and that little girl!

"Gather together immediately!!!"

The secret agents turned and ran without hesitation, immediately setting off fireworks.

Whoosh—bang!

Fireworks exploded in mid-air, their brilliant light visible from over ten kilometers away.

"Huh? That's a signal!"

The moment Shui Zishan Fugu Demon saw the signal, he immediately realized that something was wrong in the village.

He wasn't the only one; the other Seven Ninja Swordsmen, along with the ANBU members they led, also saw the fireworks exploding in the sky and rushed towards that direction to regroup.

Crash-!
The snow continued to fall, and a dozen or so figures darted swiftly through the forest.

Suigetsu Hozuki was the first to arrive, but what he saw puzzled him greatly.

Four members of the secret service knelt on the ground, as if repenting and atoning for their sins. They used short knives to cut open their abdomens, letting blood and intestines flow all over the ground, dying with a hideous look of pain on their faces.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Suigetsu Hobutsu."

Uchiha Muneki held the sleeping girl in his arms, his gaze indifferently fixed on Suigetsu Hozuki; "Since you're here, let's all kneel down and atone for our sins!"

Kneel down? Atone for your sins?
Suigetsu Hozuki paused for a moment, then realized the other party was referring to his massacre of the village. He immediately laughed: "Uchiha Munetsuki, I know I'm no match for you, but I only need to hold you off here for a moment until our people arrive. Let's see if you can still be so arrogant then!" "Immerse yourself in the world of genjutsu, and then... repent until you die!"

Uchiha Munetsuki directly used 'Battle Hypnosis' and amplified it with the Sharingan's genjutsu.

hum!
The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon's eyes widened in surprise, and he stood there stunned as if he had lost his soul.

Oh no, it's an illusion!

Suigetsu Hozuki was utterly shocked to realize that he had been under a genjutsu.

Since he knew it was the Uchiha, he naturally took precautions. Even though he didn't look into the other person's eyes, he was still dragged into the genjutsu. How terrifying was that?
Upon closer inspection of the created illusionary space, it turned out to be nothing but a void of darkness.

There is no up or down, no left or right, and no sense of the passage of time. It is like an endless, dark, and enclosed space that makes people extremely restless.

"Phew, calm down!"

After controlling his emotions and forcing himself to calm down, Suigetsu Hobuki muttered to himself, "A mere genjutsu, as long as it disrupts the flow of chakra..."

boom!
Chakra burst forth.

However, the illusion was not broken.

Suigetsu Hozuki's expression was grim, but he did not despair. Instead, he controlled Samehada: "Devour my chakra, Samehada!"

Although he is not a Jinchūriki, he can still use Samehada to absorb his own chakra and then feed it back in one go. Such a violent chakra disturbance is enough to undo the Sharingan's eye techniques!

A moment later, his efforts ended in failure once again.

Neither Samehada nor disrupting his chakra could free him from the genjutsu.

Moreover, this dark and enclosed space made the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon increasingly irritable, and he began a purposeless and frenzied attack.

I don't know how much time has passed.
There were no directions, no sound, and no sense of the passage of time.

The feeling was indescribable; the deathly silence and claustrophobic darkness gradually made him irritable and furious. If he stayed any longer, he would have a mental breakdown.

"Ahhhh——!"

The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon glared angrily, waving its Samehada wildly as if it were a madman.

The raging chakra raged, but in this void, it couldn't stir up the slightest ripple.

"Damn it! Come out! Let's fight!"

The roar of the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon was quickly swallowed by the darkness.

Finally, he couldn't take it anymore, and a crazy thought flashed through his mind: "I can escape this space by committing suicide!"

This isn't just wild speculation; it's something that could actually happen!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Suigetsu Hozuki gasped for breath, cold sweat beading on his forehead, before slowly lifting Samehada and placing it on his neck.

Tsk-!
The barbed shark's skin severed his throat.

next moment.

The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon screamed, then suddenly opened its eyes and found itself back in reality.

"Hahahaha." His face lit up with wild joy, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I'm out! I'm out! Uchiha Munetsuki, let's see what tricks you have up your sleeve!"

But his joy lasted less than a second before he was pulled back into the illusion space.

The familiar void of darkness, the familiar deathly silence, the familiar, maddening, claustrophobic darkness!
suicide!

Suigetsu Hozuki raised his knife again and slit his neck.

But the moment they returned to reality, they were once again helplessly dragged back into the illusion space.

suicide!

suicide!

suicide!

suicide!

The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon, who has repeated his suicide act countless times.

The boundary between reality and illusion had become blurred; he could no longer distinguish which side was reality and which side was the world of illusion.

The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon, its eyes bloodshot, raised Samehada with a ferocious grin.

The blizzard howled and the cold wind howled.

He roared as if in a frenzy, forcefully pulling at his sharkskin, the sharp barbs slicing across his throat.

Pfft——!
Blood gushed out, splashing several feet high.

Suigetsu Hozuki's eyes widened, a look of bewilderment flashing in his trembling pupils: "Huh? Is this reality?"

March 17th, sunny

What do you mean by despicable capitalists? They make us perform at the annual party, and those who don't participate have to "donate" fifty yuan. That's not all. Those who do participate have to bring their own clothes, or buy them themselves. So we're paying to be their bootlickers... I'm so pathetic!
