Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 107: Basic Strategies for Fighting Uchiha Itachi (4000 words)
"Check around."

Naruto sat down on the ground, took out a military pill from his ninja tool bag, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it slowly, his eyes alert.

"They are chasing us..." Sasuke looked at the zombies chasing him from a distance, and heard a few roars coming from the surroundings, and his heart began to become more and more anxious.

Naruto noticed this and patted Sasuke on the shoulder: "Relax."

"What? What are you talking about?" Sasuke didn't appreciate it, but began to breathe heavily. What he saw in the memory space made him mentally collapse.

At this time, Sakura also comforted: "The more anxious you are, the more trouble you will get into. This is what Uchiha Itachi wants to see."

"Yes, another characteristic of the Heart Demon Itachi is that he will launch a series of attacks in a short period of time, making you extremely mentally exhausted." Naruto also added.

The three of them continued their movement, heading back towards the Nanga Shrine. During this time, Naruto said, "We will try to leave the Flying Thunder God Mark near Nanga this time, and then we can teleport directly there."

"I have to explore the entire map. There's almost nothing left to explore here."

In the previous explorations, Naruto's shadow clones all died on the way to Nanga Shrine. Judging from the intensity of the attacks, it is more difficult to go there than other places.

Maybe it's the lair of the Heart Demon Weasel?

rustling...

The three of them were walking along the alley, when suddenly, Naruto vaguely saw a dark shadow in front of them, and he immediately asked the three of them to stop.

It looks very tall and walks in a crooked manner. It is definitely a zombie, but it does not seem to be an ordinary zombie.

At this moment, a word couldn't help but pop up in Naruto and Sakura's minds: elite monster.

This is a design that many games have. A map with only monsters and bosses would seem to be less playable, so game companies will design elite monsters that are stronger than monsters and weaker than bosses, greatly enriching the fun of the game.

And the next scene is indeed a bit 'fun'.

But then a tall male zombie walked out, the moonlight shining on his face, making Sasuke's pupils shrink.

She has short black hair that reaches her shoulders, a well-defined face with strong lines, and thick, slightly upturned eyebrows.

He was wearing a dark blue gown with a flaming fan pattern tattooed on the back, symbolizing his transcendent status.

"It's so dramatic, right..." Naruto's attention was not on his appearance, but on his open Magatama Sharingan.

So this zombie can use the Sharingan?
Sakura's focus was even more bizarre: "He's not actually that tall. It must be Sasuke's inner self that's causing him to change..."

Sasuke's voice trembled as he hesitantly addressed the man in front of him, "Father...Father?"

He looked at the zombie Uchiha Fugaku in some surprise, and the indignation that had been bubbling out of him stopped at this moment and turned into deep sadness.

He had had similar nightmares countless times, dreaming of his tragic death at the hands of his brother, or dreaming of his first failure in the Great Fireball Technique, with his father's disappointment still lingering in his ears.

If he had been stronger...

in case……

"Snapped!"

Sasuke felt a hand slap his shoulder hard, and he turned around to see Naruto staring at him seriously, saying, "He's not real."

"These are all your inner demons, understand?"

Sakura beside her also said: "Don't be affected, overcome your inner demons."

Sasuke took a deep breath and turned back to his inner demon Fugaku. At the same time, Naruto felt a sense of disharmony in his heart.

Why didn’t we meet earlier or later, but at this time?
The previous times Naruto entered the inner demon space, he never encountered any inner demon Fugaku, including the inner demon Shisui, the inner demon Tetsuka, the succubus Mikoto... ahem, he had never met the inner demon Mikoto.

The inner demon Itachi noticed Sasuke, so he controlled the inner demon Fugaku to appear?

It's possible.

So, Naruto began to circulate chakra in his body, ready to go.

Sasuke seemed to have noticed this as well, so he said viciously to the two people beside him: "Itachi the Heart Demon did it, right?"

"He even wants to control the dead. Is he completely insane?!"

"Actually, it's okay. After all, they are all your inner demons..." As Naruto was speaking, the inner demon Fugaku roared and rushed straight towards the three people!

His limbs are twisted and uncoordinated, but he runs extremely fast!

"I didn't use the Sharingan directly, okay..." Naruto condensed the Rasengan and signaled Sakura to throw him out after the condensation was completed. Now he had to restrain him from a distance first.

"I'm sorry, father." Sasuke formed a seal and placed his hands on the ground, causing lightning with bird calls to scatter from the ground in an instant: "Chidori Flow!"

"Chichi! Chichi!"

The scattered lightning was like intricate branches, casting a blue light on the ground. The inner demon Fugaku jumped up and stretched out a hand towards Sasuke, with his fingers slightly bent, as if he wanted to grab his neck directly!
At this time, Naruto's Rasengan was fully condensed. Sakura grabbed him and was about to throw him over when Naruto froze.

"The sense of disharmony is growing stronger... Wait, that's not right!"

Naruto immediately let go of Sakura, injected a stream of chakra into her body, and turned around to throw the Rasengan in the direction behind him!
"boom!!"

Naruto only felt his wrist being grabbed by a pair of strong and powerful hands, and the Rasengan stayed in mid-air. He could vaguely feel a pair of magatama Sharingan staring at him.

He knew that this time three people were caught in Itachi's illusion at the same time!

There is no inner demon Fugaku, it's just a trick of the inner demon Itachi.

In fact, Naruto felt this disharmony from the very beginning.

He did not ignore this sense of disharmony, but immediately circulated his chakra in his body, trying to create a sense of disorder in the chakra. It was not until he came into physical contact with Sakura that the disorder in his body initially reached a threshold, and he temporarily broke the illusion.

Seeing that there was no one in front of him, he decisively threw the Rasengan backwards, trying to block the sneak attack from behind, but ended up meeting the Heart Demon Itachi face to face.

But he also realized that he was about to be controlled again.

"Whoosh!"

Naruto didn't hesitate and used Flying Thunder God to fly back to his birthplace. The tide of zombies had not yet completely dissipated, so he jumped over the zombies' heads and began to deal with them with difficulty, ready to teleport back at any time.

"In the end, we still separated..."

Naruto muttered to himself, punching each kid one by one and dodging the bites of the zombies around him.

the other side.

Sakura, who was injected with chakra by Naruto, immediately regained consciousness. She saw the inner demon Itachi stabbing towards Sasuke with a sword, so she clenched her fists and smashed the ground beneath her hard.

"boom!!!"

A huge crack suddenly appeared on the ground. Sasuke was cut by the flying stones and also regained consciousness. At the same time, he and Sakura retreated at the same time to avoid the attack of the inner demon Itachi.

"Sharingan!"

Sasuke activated his double magatama, trying to resist the next wave of illusions from the Heart Demon Itachi, while he quickly approached Sakura. The latter formed a seal with one hand, and a water clone with the texture of slime appeared, rushing towards the Heart Demon Itachi!
The inner demon Itachi retreated, but before he took two steps, he heard Sakura's water clone making a "sizzling" sound.

The next moment, the water clone exploded forward in a twisted posture!

"Bang!!!" The Heart Demon Weasel in front of them exploded with a "bang". It was a shadow clone. Another Heart Demon Weasel appeared from a high place nearby, staring at them coldly.

At the same time, Sakura grabbed Sasuke's arm. The latter's left hand was wrapped in lightning, and Chidori condensed in his left hand. He faced the inner demon Itachi with a determined look.

"Go!" Sakura threw Sasuke fiercely, and he flew towards the inner demon Itachi like a cannonball.

The Heart Demon Weasel also rushed towards him
But the next moment, something unexpected happened!

"Whoosh!"

Naruto suddenly appeared beside Sasuke and pushed him to the side. Sasuke flew to the side with the Chidori in his hand. Naruto summoned a shadow clone and pushed himself to the side in the air.

The Heart Demon Weasel narrowed his eyes, and then a huge explosion occurred all over his body!
"boom!!!"

"boom!!!"

This is not the real body of the Heart Demon Itachi, but a shadow with explosive tags all over his body, launching a suicide attack on Sasuke.

"boom!"

Naruto fell heavily to the ground. Then he found that he could not feel any pain at all. The scene around him seemed to have a filter. He seemed to have come to the basement of developing photos. The street and the moon became blurry and distorted.

I was directly sent to another world.

The next moment, he was tied to a pillar without any warning, and then saw countless inner demon weasels appear beside him, holding long swords.

"Damn, you can't afford to play with me, right?" Naruto spat on the ground and said auspicious words to the inner demon Itachi.

Thousands of inner demon itachi rushed towards Naruto with knives...

Then, the real Naruto opened his eyes and fell exhaustedly on the floor of his home.

……

"what happened?"

Sakura, who was next to Naruto's real body, greeted him with a hint of worry on her face. Naruto waved his hand with difficulty, indicating that he would just lie down for a while and take a short rest.

After a few more seconds, the original Sakura and the original Sasuke also received the clone's memories.

The two of them didn't speak, but were silent for a moment. Then, Sakura asked Sasuke, "How did you die?"

Sasuke scratched his eyebrows and said, "He was bitten to death by the zombies in the shadows. What about you?"

"Stabbed to death by the Heart Demon Weasel."

Then, they all looked at Naruto.

Naruto lay on the floor and asked lightly, "Didn't you two die together?"

Sasuke was confused: "What do you mean?"

At this time, Naruto straightened up and said, "Didn't we agree to stay as close as possible? Just now, after I pushed you away, the inner demon Itachi used Tsukuyomi on me directly. At that time, the three of us had already separated."

"Didn't you two meet up later?"

"No," Sakura shook her head. "I don't know when you were hit by Tsukuyomi. Anyway, after I threw Sasuke out, I was hit by the inner demon Itachi behind me. I parried for a few seconds, and then I was hit by the illusion."

"how about you?"

"I was almost there, but I took your instructions to heart and planned to continue fighting him after we reunited. However, I didn't notice the zombies hiding in the shadows."

"It's normal. I was caught by zombies every now and then when I first entered this dungeon. It's a waste of money."

The three of them fell silent. After a while, Sasuke suddenly asked:
"What is an old silver coin?"

Naruto was stunned, realizing that he had just spoken out of turn. After thinking for a moment, he explained, "Uh... I used to describe the inner demon to Sakura like this, but she later changed the name because it was difficult to pronounce. That's how the term 'inner demon' came about."

Sakura was speechless at the sudden nonsense, but in order not to reveal the secret, she nodded to Sasuke.

"I see... Is there any deep meaning behind the term 'old silver coin'?" Sasuke looked at Naruto again.

If you connect the village to the internet, you'll know everything... Naruto muttered to himself and changed the subject: "Let's review this battle."

"I agree. The most profound impression is when you just leave the spiritual space."

After seeing this, Sasuke no longer bothered about such details.

The three of them quickly focused their discussion on Tsukuyomi. Naruto spoke first, "I've sneaked into the spiritual realm many times before, but I've never seen Itachi use Tsukuyomi. This time he did, which means two things."

"First, the three of us were stronger than before, so he made a 'dynamic adjustment' and used stronger means."

"Secondly, Tsukuyomi is very powerful, but it has limitations on its use."

"Hmm." This was consistent with Sasuke's imagination. There was a limit to the number of times he could use Chidori. If he used it too many times, his chakra would instantly return to zero.

"So next time we must try our best to force out the inner demon Itachi's Tsukuyomi, even when fighting Itachi in real life." Naruto's next words instantly made Sasuke alert.

"What do you mean?"

"I just thought of that," Naruto said, signaling Sasuke to wait and hear him out. "A ninja's chakra is limited. Most of the time, the more powerful the technique, the more chakra it consumes. Can we agree on this theorem?"

"Ah."

"As far as I know, Tsukuyomi is one of Uchiha Itachi's methods. He once used it on you. Am I right?"

"Yes."

"If I'm not mistaken, this is an advanced application of the Sharingan, similar to an enhanced version of the Sharingan, right?"

"Correct."

"In other words, releasing this technique will consume a lot of eye energy. Since Itachi is a genjutsu-type ninja, and there are three of us, does that mean we can use our advantage in numbers to force him to use Tsukuyomi?"

Sasuke and Sakura fell silent, and after a moment the latter said, "You want to drain his eye power?"

"I'm explaining a basic principle to you," Naruto said slowly. "First of all, the three of us must not separate. Our defeat just now started from our separation."

"On the contrary, when we are close to each other, we can support each other in a short time. For example, just now the three of us were all caught in Itachi's illusion, but it was quickly broken, wasn't it?"

"Yeah, I agree with that." Sasuke nodded.

Naruto gave Sasuke a thumbs-up and continued, "Secondly, we must press him step by step. Our offensive cannot be scattered. We must focus on one point and reach the pinnacle to force him to use Tsukuyomi."

"In other words, if we want to attack, it's best to attack together, and the attacks should be linked together?" Sakura asked from the side.

"Yes, the Heart Demon Weasel's fighting style is to link together, so we must also link together and hold the initiative in our own hands."

The three of them fell silent, thinking about Naruto's suggestion. After a while, Sakura suddenly asked:
"But after we force out the Tsukuyomi, someone will have to take the hit, right?"

"Then who will be the one to bear the Tsukuyomi?"
