Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 102: Heart Demon Weasel & Reality Weasel

As soon as I stepped into the space of memories, it was as if I was not being teleported, but escaping directly into the darkness.

The moment the visual distortion caused by Kamui disappeared, Shadow Clone Naruto quickly inserted the Flying Thunder God Kunai into the original place, and then retreated violently in the darkness.

The muscles on his back were tense and his eyes kept scanning the surroundings, ready to fight at any time.

This process only took a few seconds, but what was gratifying was that the situation of being killed in seconds as soon as it appeared did not occur immediately, but was replaced by a tingling sensation like thorns on the back.

Naruto quickly realized the problem: he was being watched the moment he appeared.

"As expected of the Pillar's memory space, the inner demon's level has been elevated to a new level..." Naruto thought to himself, and began to carefully examine the surrounding environment.

The moonlight was swallowed by thick clouds, and the shadow of the wall gnawed at the street like the fangs of a giant beast. The bloodstains winding on the cobblestones glowed with a thick, cold light.

The liquid that had not yet solidified reflected the remains of the collapsed lantern, and the firelight curled up into dark red patches on the paper.

"The Uchiha clan's territory on the night of the genocide." Naruto quickly came to a conclusion in his mind. This conclusion was not surprising. He began to move towards the corner of the shadow as planned, trying to avoid the inner demons he might encounter along the way.

He ran towards a house along with the wind, passed by the vacant clothes-drying line, passed by a roll of paper with a few blood-stained kunai, slowly pushed open the grille door, and walked inside.

"That feeling of scrutiny seems to have disappeared...or maybe it was watching me from outside the house." Naruto walked into the inner room and found that a family had been brutally murdered. The straw mat in the room was soaked in blood and turned crimson purple, which made Naruto frown.

He couldn't help but think of a Uchiha Itachi fan art he had seen online before traveling through time: Itachi, fully armed, was in a mess, holding a knife in one hand and dragging a child out of the closet with the other hand. The child was covering his face and looking like he was struggling.

There are no bloody scenes and no crying, but it is still very creepy to watch.

"Ka-ka-ka-ka-" Suddenly, Naruto heard the cries of crows outside the house, as if issuing a warning, and his heart suddenly hung in the air.

"The boss here is definitely Itachi, but I don't know how strong the inner demon Itachi is..." Naruto opened the crack a little and peeked outside. Little did he know that at this moment, several corpses in the room quietly moved, and then slowly got up...

suddenly,

Naruto's ears twitched.

He turned around suddenly, holding the kunai tightly in his hand, and swept it fiercely towards the back!
"puff!"

The blade scraped against the dried blood clot, continuously cutting horizontally through the chest cavity, and finally the sharp end of the kunai was stuck in the sternum.

Those dead Uchiha clan members came back to life...

Naruto's pupils shrank, and he saw a woman and a child behind him, who, like the man in front of him, suddenly opened their empty eyes, stood up in an extremely distorted posture, and rushed towards Naruto!

"This has become a biochemical crisis." Naruto suppressed his fear and pulled the kunai out of the man's sternum. The latter roared and pretended to pounce on him again and bite him fiercely.

Naruto subconsciously rolled to the lower left corner to avoid it, then turned around and kicked the man's neck with a powerful whip kick. With a crisp "click" sound in the darkness, the man's neck instantly tilted and his head began to shake on his neck.

Naruto didn't dare to solve the problem by rolling the balls directly, mainly because he was afraid that the noise would be too loud and would attract the inner demon Itachi.

"Roar--"

At this time, the woman and the child adjusted their direction and rushed towards Naruto. Naruto gathered his chakra in his fist, dodged sideways towards the child, and then punched the child in the head. The latter reacted very slowly and was easily hit by Naruto.

"puff!!"

The child's head was blown up by Naruto's punch, but the imagined blood and flesh did not splatter. Instead, thick black gas erupted, almost completely enveloping Naruto. So he began to retreat, and instinctively fanned his hands continuously, trying to disperse the black gas.

"These are all inner demons... Sasuke's inner demons include not only Itachi, but also these deceased clansmen."

Like some dungeon maps, if there is a BOSS, there must be monsters.

Naruto couldn't help but wonder if the funeral in the afternoon had caused a change in his mentality, or if Sasuke subconsciously blamed himself for the deaths of his clansmen.

After a few more rounds of fighting, Naruto successfully confused the male and female 'zombie' couple (literally), and they both fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

“Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga”

"The sound of crows is getting closer..." Naruto immediately left the place and started running towards the Nanga Shrine.

If there was a heart rate monitoring machine here, Naruto's heart rate should have soared to over 100 at this moment. The reason is simple - the oppressive feeling of the inner demon Itachi is too strong.

The BOSS that has not appeared is often the most feared.

He continued running along the path, looking at the blood sprayed on the road. Some Uchiha zombies began to walk out of the house, or those who had fallen on the roadside were now "awakening" and besieging Naruto.

"Oh my god, are there so many Uchiha people?!"

Soon, too many zombies blocked his way, so Naruto chose not to act anymore and just started to power them up!
He first summoned two shadow clones to protect his back in a triangular formation, then he rolled up a Rasengan and began to swing it towards the tide of zombies. With a wave of his hand, the tide of zombies slowly retreated a little, and no zombies attacked rashly.

It's like a hunter in the woods lighting a torch and waving it in the dense forest late at night to drive away the wolves that are surrounding him.

But this threat is always limited, so some zombies began to try to get closer. The moment Naruto blasted them away with the Rasengan, the rest of the zombies rushed over, trying to kill all three Narutos in one breath!
Naruto knew that a single Rasengan had limited lethality, so he chose to let the two shadow clones face each other and let the Rasengan face each other.

The shadow clone that entered first was a Flying Thunder God that teleported to the starting position.

Just at this moment, the two Rasengan collided with each other.

"boom!!!"

"boom!!!"

In an instant, the Rasengan collided with each other and exploded, and a large number of Uchiha zombies that were surrounding them disappeared completely.

right?

Naruto's pupils shrank, and when he was teleported back to the original point, he suddenly found that he had inexplicably returned to the center of the zombie group!

Then, these zombies pounced on Naruto and devoured his shadow clones before he could react.

Before disappearing, the shadow clone Naruto looked at the long-haired figure squatting high in the distance, staring at him with the triangular windmill-shaped Sharingan. With his mouth about to be torn apart, he managed to spit out a few words with difficulty: "Gen...jutsu...?"

"Oh!"

Shadow Clone Naruto's journey to uncover his inner demons ends here.

……

On the other side, in the Ninja World, Naruto's home.

The shadow clone had only been in there for less than a minute when the real Naruto felt a chill in his heart. His memory recalled and he had a deeper understanding of Sasuke's inner demons and memory space.

only……

How did he fall into Itachi's illusion just now?

Naruto didn't speak immediately, but held his chin as if thinking. Sakura and Sasuke remained silent and didn't say anything.

After a while.

"The cry of crows..."

These words came out slowly from Ming's mouth. He thought that the moment he heard the crow's cry, he had fallen into the illusion of the Heart Demon Itachi.

In the original work, Naruto was once tricked by Itachi's finger. Although it was later proved to be a fake, it also shows that masters of illusion can release illusions through people's five senses.

Ways of release are not limited to eye contact.

It is also possible that the inner demon Itachi was strengthened in Sasuke's memory space.

"That's really troublesome... If my speculation is correct, I'll have to plug my ears every time I go through this dungeon, and I might not even be able to use my eyes when fighting the boss... Is it that difficult?"

As if she could see Naruto's worry, Sakura asked, "Any clues?"

Naruto took a deep breath and told Sasuke and Sakura everything he had seen and heard.

This information can be shared with Zhuzi without worrying about exposing the time traveler's secrets.

"In other words, Uchiha Itachi is living in this so-called spiritual space. He is my inner demon?" Sasuke confirmed concisely without any emotion, which was in line with his psychological expectations.

"Yes, but let me ask you a question first. How are you feeling now? Have you gotten better?"

"Hmm... I don't feel anything."

"Ok."

Naruto felt a little regretful. It turned out that the zombies he had just killed were just illusions.

Sakura remained silent, looking thoughtful, while Sasuke seemed to have many questions he wanted to ask:

"Can I come in and take a look? I want to confirm whether I have grown or not."

"No, what if you get hung up in there?"

"But I've become stronger, and according to what you said, the strength of the inner demon should be related to my cognition, right?"

Naruto raised his eyebrows. The extremely clever Sasuke could already draw inferences from one example, but he still wanted to point out the problem with the pillar.

"That's right. But if you think so, since your mentality has changed, then the strength of the Heart Demon Weasel should have changed once. Under this premise, I am still being controlled by it the whole time. Do you understand me?"

What Naruto means is that since you, Sasuke, have become inflated, Itachi in your heart should not be as strong as before. In other words, the inner demon Itachi has been weakened.

But the weakened Heart Demon Weasel is still very difficult to deal with, and that is the problem.

He couldn't help but think of the time before he traveled through time and played the Old Man Ring DLC. The most common complaints on the player forums at that time were "The new BOSS is too strong", "It's just torture for the sake of torture", and "Is it playable without nerfs?"

The situation before me is so similar to that moment.

It seems that Sasuke has a lot of psychological trauma.

"How about this, Sasuke, let's do a little experiment."

"What attempt?"

"Come on, repeat after me, Uchiha Itachi is trash."

"?"

"Read it!"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm brainwashing you, making you subconsciously look down on Uchiha Itachi. What do you call this? Pay attention to the enemy tactically and despise the enemy strategically." Naruto explained patiently.

"...Will this work?" Sasuke showed a suspicious expression. He felt that Naruto was playing tricks on him.

"No, is it your inner demon or mine? Do you want to solve the problem?"

"Didn't you ask me for help?"

"...But this is your inner demon after all. You don't want people to say that you are scared to death of Uchiha Itachi, right?"

This sentence hit Sasuke's sore spot exactly, so he got angry, and then Naruto took advantage of the situation and fooled him with his CPU.

In Naruto's house, the sound of ridicule directed at Uchiha Itachi began to be heard everywhere.
