Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

Without the aid of Hashirama's cells, Izanagi's state could only be maintained for three to five seconds.

[With the presence of interstitial cells, the time can be significantly extended, by at least one minute.]

Hidden Cloud Village.

Upon hearing about the effects of the Hashirama cells, the Fourth Raikage sat up straight.

"One minute?!"

"With Hashirama's cells, can Izanagi last even a minute?!"

Keep in mind that while it might take three or four seconds to anticipate an enemy's attack, a minute is more than enough time to physically gather intelligence on the enemy.

Ninja battles often happen in an instant, and if Izanagi is activated at the start of the battle...

So even if the opponent starts testing the waters first, Izanagi's effects can last for a long time.

You can easily outmaneuver your opponent by taking them by surprise.

Just then, he suddenly remembered the Uchiha Shin that Tianmu had mentioned earlier.

Oh, right! Although we can't get the Sharingan right now, we can clone it!

Although Izanagi seems invincible, it does have a natural enemy.

[This also originates from the power of the Sharingan.]

That is Izanami.

Under the sky, everyone was stunned.

This seemingly unsolvable technique actually has a way to counter it?

This technique is a sensory genjutsu developed to save the Uchiha clan members who are obsessed with power.

[It's mainly used to counter Izanagi.]

In the scene, an Uchiha clansman stands in front of the enemy army.

During the battle, that person activated Izanagi, constantly rewriting reality and resurrecting from death time and time again.

His expression grew increasingly frantic, and his Sharingan spun wildly in his eyes.

"I am invincible!"

"You can start over if you die! You can rewrite your story if you lose!"

"Hahahahahaha!!!!"

In pursuit of military merit, some Uchiha clan members would even attack their comrades and gouge out their eyes as spares.

The main principle of Izanagi is to record the process of actions taken by both the user and the other party.

[During this process, with a time gap, two identical scenes unfold.]

[This can create illusions in the target's mind, causing them to fall into an endless cycle of illusions.]

The period when Konoha was founded.

As Tobirama Senju looked at the scene on the sky, his expression became extremely solemn.

"Izanami..."

"An illusion activated through touch?"

"This means that even if the opponent has their eyes closed, and even if the opponent has the Sharingan's genjutsu resistance, they will be affected as long as they make physical contact with the body."

"However, every illusion has a way to be broken; there is no illusion that cannot be broken."

Text appeared in the sky.

To unlock the secrets of Izanami, one must accept their original destiny.

Those afflicted by Izanami will be unable to move in reality.

In other words, if this move works, you have to accept defeat.

If Izanagi is a technique for changing one's destiny...

[Then Izanami is the technique that determines fate.]

The former makes you escape reality, the latter forces you to face yourself.

Sixty years into the history of Konoha, at the training ground.

Naruto's mouth dropped open.

"Does winning mean you have to accept defeat?"

"Can't you move in real life?"

"Doesn't this mean that as long as there's someone outside who can still move, they can just kill the person under the spell?!"

Kakashi, meanwhile, was quickly analyzing the tactical value of this technique in his mind.

Izanami is a sensory illusion that is activated through physical contact.

Once infected, the target will be trapped in an endless loop, unable to move in reality.

The condition for escaping this is accepting one's fate, which is almost impossible for most enemies in battle to achieve in a short period of time.

Because no one wants to admit defeat in a life-or-death struggle.

This means that if Izanami successfully casts a spell, it is practically a declaration of victory.

Unless someone removes it from the outside, or the target completes a spiritual transformation on its own.

Akatsuki's stronghold.

Hidan burst into laughter after hearing Izanami's explanation.

"Accept your fate?"

"My destiny, sir, is to serve the evil god forever!"

"I'm so happy to accept it!"

"So this technique is useless against me!"

Kakuzu gave him a cold glance.

"Hidan, you're not strong-willed, that's because you're not smart enough."

"Izanami's requirement to accept one's fate is a realization that comes from the heart."

"Your kind of cult-like brainwashing is completely different from what they're saying."

"...What do you mean?"

Kakuzu looked at Hidan with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot.

"It means that after you are afflicted by Izanami, you will probably be stuck in a loop for ten thousand years without ever figuring it out."

"What?! This is way over the limit?!"

The celestial display lit up again.

Who are the people in Konoha who have never been bullied?

In Konoha, where everyone possesses an indomitable will, being bullied is practically a mandatory lesson for every ninja.

But there are a few people who have never been bullied.

Under the sky, everyone was stunned.

[Kurotsuchi: I thought Konoha was full of bullying masters? How come there are still some who slipped through the net?]

Hidden Mist Village.

"Never been bullied? In a place like Konoha?"

Mei Terumi raised an eyebrow, her face filled with disbelief.

She knew quite a bit about Konoha from the sky; even the Hokage's children couldn't escape being bullied there, so how could anyone else be spared?

Text appeared in the sky.

[The first one is Minato Namikaze.]

Minato Namikaze possesses exceptional talent; he was a prodigy from a young age.

[Someone at school might try to bully him, but they'll most likely get beaten up instead.]

In the video, several older students are blocking the water gate in a corner, with the leader clenching his fist.

"Golden-haired kid, I heard you're pretty good at fighting? Today I'll show you what a real veteran is!"

Next second,

Several older students were all lying on the ground.

It's worth noting that Minato was able to deal with the ninja who kidnapped Kushina while he was still in the Ninja Academy.

Solving the problem is too easy for students who haven't even graduated from the Ninja Academy yet.

Later on, he single-handedly earned the nickname "Yellow Flash."

He was a top student at school, a killing machine on the battlefield, and a national idol back in his village.

Screen switch.

On the battlefield of the Third Shinobi World War.

A golden flash ripped through the enemy ranks, and Iwagakure ninja fell in droves.

Minato, wielding the Flying Thunder God kunai, moved like a flash of light across the battlefield.

Every time it appears, an enemy falls.

While Minato may appear gentle, he is actually ruthless and merciless.

Even the villagers of Konoha dared not display their domineering will when facing a god of death.

The Hokage's office.

Jiraiya leaned back in his chair, watching Minato's figure on the sky, a smile appearing on his lips.

"That Minato kid, although he looks gentle and mild-mannered, he's like a completely different person when facing enemies."

The period when Konoha was founded.

Hashirama Senju looked at Minato's performance on the sky with a face full of satisfaction.

"Hahaha! This junior is impressive! He's skilled and doesn't bully others; that's a true ninja!"

Tobirama Senju glanced at him.

"Big brother, don't you also rely on your strength to prevent people from bullying you? It's just that you have a too-friendly personality, so people aren't afraid of you."

The text on the sky changed again.

[The second one is Uchiha Sasuke.]

On the training field, Sasuke himself was completely stunned.

"Sasuke! You've never been bullied?!"

"...I've always been ostracized."
