Naruto: Inheriting the Legacy of a Person Who Traveled Through Time

Among common illusion techniques, immobilization is a relatively common one. Often, the enemy knows they are under an illusion, but their body is still unable to move.

The most representative example is Jiraiya, who, with the help of two sages from Mount Myōboku, unleashed Sage Art: Toad Song, instantly killing three Pain members. Even the power of the Rinnegan was difficult for them to withstand.

The Sharingan genjutsu's immense deterrent power of "one-on-one, certain escape" is largely due to the existence of the genjutsu "Karakuri". Once the Sharingan's eye power is integrated into the immobilization technique, the enemy captured by the genjutsu world will feel their body being fixed by huge iron nails, thus being unable to move freely, while also suffering physical pain.

When Orochimaru ambushed Itachi Uchiha, he was instantly killed by this move. While this was partly due to the damage to Orochimaru's soul after his reincarnation, which reduced his resistance to genjutsu, it also gave a glimpse into the power of the genjutsu, "Genjutsu: Ganesha".

Although Tetsuya only has a two-tomoe Sharingan, his opponent is just a Jonin from Root. Faced with this sudden genjutsu, the leopard was dragged into the genjutsu world without any resistance. His entire body was fixed with iron nails, and no matter what he did, he could not break free.

Hopefully, his three companions will discover this in time and inject chakra to help him break free from the genjutsu's control...

The moment the thought crossed the leopard's mind, he felt himself leave the illusion and return to reality. However, his vision was inexplicably spinning rapidly, and he even saw a familiar headless corpse.

"Leopard!"

Although the members of Root obeyed Danzo's orders without question, they still felt that Danzo was making a mountain out of a molehill. A ninja who had just graduated from the Ninja Academy a year ago and was still taking the Chunin Exams could be easily dealt with by any member of Root; there was no need to send out an elite squad.

However, it was this deep-seated contempt that cost Gen a considerable price.

Seeing his companion inexplicably trapped in the illusion, Tetsuya immediately swung his sword, and the head fell to the ground. Another Jonin was shocked and cried out in alarm. He immediately drew his katana and rushed towards Tetsuya.

At the same time, the two elite Chunin who were originally blocking Tetsuya's back also reacted and tacitly joined forces to unleash a combination ninjutsu.

"Fire Release: Multiple Fireballs"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough"

First, five fist-sized fireballs shot out. Then, amplified by the whirlwind, the wind fueled the fire, and the power and speed of the fireballs increased dramatically, bombarding Tetsuya's location one after another.

"Damn it, Lord Danzo's orders are to bring him back alive."

The Root Jonin's charge came to an abrupt halt, and he had to swing his katana to cleave a fireball that nearly hit him in two, before loudly complaining.

"Watch out, he's not dead yet!"

The ninja who used Wind Release clearly possessed sensory abilities. Even though a raging fire had broken out where Tetsuya was, he sensed that Tetsuya's chakra fluctuations remained incredibly stable, indicating that he was unharmed.

Under the watchful eyes of the three Root members, the flickering flames gradually died down, revealing an overturned wooden archway on the ground.

Wood escape·Wooden spindle wall.

This is... Wood Release?

Could it be A?

As the sole survivor of the Hashirama cell transplant experiment, Kazuya was once a core member of Root. Later, influenced by Kakashi, he joined Hiruzen Sarutobi's direct ANBU and changed his name to Tenzo. He is now the only elite Jonin in Konoha who can use Wood Release ninjutsu.

After being scorched by the Fire Release technique, the slightly charred curved wooden pillars shrank back into the earth, revealing Tetsuya's figure once more.

He's actually a Wood Release ninja?

Just as the three Root members were filled with horror, Tetsuya clapped his hands together, and the ground began to shake. Three vine-like wooden branches suddenly grew out and wrapped around the enemy with lightning speed. At the same time, wooden pillars grew out from all around, completely blocking the enemy's retreat.

Wood Release: Thorn Killing Technique.

The two Chunin reacted noticeably slower, bound tightly by the wooden strips and unable to move. Only the Jonin reacted extremely quickly, wielding his katana to cut the attacking wooden pillar into several pieces.

It seems this mission is impossible to complete. We must report the information that the enemy possesses Wood Release to Lord Danzo!

The Jonin, whose wrists were aching from the Wood Release backlash, saw that his two companions were already under the control of Wood Release, their pale faces exposed. He knew that all was lost. With a rapid wave of his left hand, he threw four kunai. Two of them shot towards Tetsuya, while the other two shot towards his two trapped companions.

There were flickering lights on the handles of all four kunai, and each one had an explosive tag attached to it.

This operation by Root was arranged by Danzo without Hiruzen Sarutobi's knowledge; absolutely no one can be left alive. Since they can no longer serve Lord Danzo, death is their best fate.

boom!

The Jonin's decisiveness caught Tetsuya off guard, leaving him helpless as he watched two Chunin die from their comrade's explosive tags.

boom!

Another explosion rang out; the explosive tag aimed at Tetsuya detonated before it even hit its target, and the smoke and dust instantly obscured the view.

Having completed the task of silencing the witnesses, the Jonin had no intention of checking the results of the battle. Without hesitation, he turned and fled, using several Body Flicker Techniques in quick succession, and had already reached the edge of the forest.

However, a wooden wall slowly rose from the ground, blocking the escape route of the Jonin. Then, seven or eight wooden planks shot out from behind, leaving the enemy with no way to avoid them.

After shattering three incoming wooden strips in succession, the Jonin's legs were tightly bound by another wooden strip. An irresistible force of absorption, like a black hole, rapidly devoured the Jonin's chakra. The tightly binding wooden strip made the Jonin feel his body gradually becoming numb, making it difficult for him to make any effective resistance.

Lord Danzo, I'm sorry, I can no longer serve you.

Knowing that escape was hopeless, the Jonin mustered his last bit of strength, reversed his katana, and slashed it at his own neck. The gushing blood immediately stained the wooden strip red.

The sound of wind breaking rang out, and Tetsuya, who had arrived a step too late, looked at the four Root members lying dead in the wilderness and couldn't help but shake his head.

As expected of the Kage, even though I was so careful to hide my Sharingan and Wood Release, I was still inexplicably targeted by him.

People don't offend me, I don't offend people.

Since you made the first move, don't blame me.

While the Root Headquarters may lack other things, it must certainly have plenty of information on the Senju clan's Wood Release ninjutsu and the Uchiha clan's Sharingan. These resources would be enough to save Tetsuya a lot of trouble and prevent him from painstakingly trying to replicate those Wood Release ninjutsu from memory.

-----------------

Deep within the earth, at the Root Headquarters, Danzo sat quietly on the enormous stone chair, most of his body hidden in the darkness beyond the reach of the lamplight.

"wind."

After an unknown amount of time, Danzo suddenly spoke.

"Lord Danzo, what are your orders?"

A tall ninja with orange hair tied in a ponytail and golden eyes knelt before Danzo; he was none other than Yamanaka Fu, Danzo's most trusted subordinate.

"Has the Leopard Squad not returned yet?"

Danzo spoke slowly, his single eye revealing a hint of unease.

"No, should I send my men to investigate?"

Shan Zhongfeng shook his head.

"Call on Torune, and bring a few more elite soldiers. Be careful not to let Hiruzen find out."

After a moment of silence, Danzo slowly spoke.

"yes!"

As Danzo watched Yamanaka Kaze disappear using the Body Flicker Technique, his unease grew even stronger.

Danzo wanted to capture Tetsuya not because he found anything wrong with the man, but because he coveted the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and wanted to monitor the Uchiha orphan's every move. By planting a spy in Team 7, he could report Naruto and Sasuke's situation to Danzo at any time.

What went wrong when it was something that seemed like a sure thing?
