Chapter 484 The Illusory World of Konoha Village

A fictional world, Konoha Village, the territory of the Uchiha clan.

"Illusion?"

Sasuke Uchiha sat up on the tatami mat. His senses didn't detect that he was under a genjutsu, but one second he was in Orochimaru's base, and the next he was waking up at home, the home before the massacre of his clan. It was hard to believe that this was reality.

"Shu~"

The shoji door was pulled open, and Uchiha Mikoto, with red eyes, quickly walked in and hugged her second son, who was sitting on the tatami.

Uchiha Sasuke remained silent for a long time, without struggling or moving, feeling his mother's embrace just like it had been years ago, his back gently stroked.

It's an illusion.

"These years have been tough, Sasuke."

"Uchiha Mikoto said softly."

Even if it's an illusion... Uchiha Sasuke hugged his mother, his body trembling.

"Da, da, da"

The sound of wooden clogs on the floor drew closer. He focused his chakra and looked up.

The father, with a stern face, stood at the door. His expression seemed to subconsciously want to reprimand her, but he held back. He looked at the mother and child embracing, sighed silently, and turned to leave.

Seeing his father's genuine expression probably brought Sasuke Uchiha to his senses. As an avenger, he couldn't let himself be consumed by genjutsu.

【untie!】

【untie!】

【untie!】

Despite repeatedly disrupting his chakra, the genjutsu showed no signs of breaking. He even activated his Sharingan, but couldn't see anything amiss.

But the absence of anything unreasonable is the greatest unreasonableness.

Just as Sasuke was about to continue trying, Mikoto Uchiha, who was both amused and exasperated, stopped him: "Sasuke, don't try anymore, this is another world..."

Before she could finish speaking, a commotion arose outside:

"Get that traitor out here!"

"Chief, you must explain yourself!"

Sasuke Uchiha heard many familiar voices and saw his mother's expression change as she left with obvious worry. He pondered for a few seconds, then got up and went outside.

As soon as I stepped out, I saw at the entrance hall at the end of the corridor that several Jonin from the clan, who had long been killed by Itachi, were being stopped by my mother with angry expressions. After taking a few steps forward, the shoji door to the living room was opened.

"Whoosh~" He turned his head and saw his father standing and Itachi kneeling on the tatami.

"Boom!"

Sasuke Uchiha's nerves snapped instantly. Without hesitation, he released the curse seal, the Chidori in his hand lit up, and he rushed forward.

"Snapped!"

As before, Itachi Uchiha grabbed his arm without even getting up, stopping his attack—

After all, the virtual world is different from reality. In reality, Itachi Uchiha was seriously ill and lost his Mangekyou Sharingan, but in the virtual world, he was in his prime and in normal condition.

Not long after he was utterly defeated last time, even with the cursed seal, Uchiha Sasuke isn't much stronger.

The basic values ​​are too different.

"Have you calmed down?" Itachi's voice was unusually warm. "Sasuke."

Fugaku Uchiha pressed down on his second son's shoulder.

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha stared intently at Itachi Uchiha. "It was your genjutsu, wasn't it?" He deeply hated the other man.

The sound of hurried footsteps approached.

"Sasuke!" His mother's voice was right beside him.

Sasuke Uchiha's brain, which had been congested, hot, and buzzing due to extreme anger, cooled down.

Although Fugaku Uchiha's face showed no change in expression, he looked somewhat distressed.

Itachi Uchiha stood up and looked at the clansmen he had killed with his own hands.

The four family members had different expressions and were facing different directions. Apart from heavy or light breathing, there was no other sound in the living room and hallway.

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

Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office.

"Sandaime-sama, Nidaime-sama..."

After entering, Minato Namikaze greeted the two people standing in front of the desk. Then, looking at Tsunade standing inside the desk, he hesitated for a moment, then said, "Lady Tsunade."

He had already learned from Naruto that Tsunade had become the Fifth Hokage, but he really couldn't believe that after experiencing a painful past and suffering from hemophobia, she was still able to take on the responsibility of 'Kage' again.

It's all because he died too young.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression became even more serious as he nodded and said, "You've arrived. Minato, where's Kushina?"

"She's still with Naruto." Minato Namikaze smiled sheepishly. His wife was staying with their son during such a major event, which was somewhat disregarding the bigger picture.

But his wife had already died once for the village, and he, as her husband, couldn't bring himself to ask her to dedicate herself to the village again.

Hiruzen Sarutobi understood, but said nothing, instead looking at the Second Hokage beside him.

With his arms crossed, Tobirama Senju scrutinized Minato Namikaze with a critical gaze, and said in a low voice, "You've all seen that tower, haven't you..."

Because he entered the illusory world in a soul state, his perception of the world's essence was much clearer. In addition, the chakra fluctuations and spontaneously generated ninjutsu that the village's sensory ninjas sensed before being pulled in were enough for him to deduce the truth, even though the time was short.

Someone has unleashed a massive illusion that covers almost the entire world, dragging everyone's mind into the illusionary space.

Although he couldn't understand why someone could unleash illusions of this scale, his consistent view was that once something happened, one shouldn't dwell on why it happened, but rather figure out how to deal with it.

During the time it took for the Fourth Hokage and his wife to reunite with Naruto, the village had already resumed operations under Tobirama Senju's command.

The coexistence of the living and the dead has led to a significant increase in the population and area of ​​the fictional Konoha Village, greatly increasing the difficulty of management. However, the number of Anbu members has also reached an unprecedented level, and many high-ranking Konoha Village members who sacrificed themselves in the past, as well as some members of the Senju clan from the Warring States period, have been resurrected. Overall, the village is still under control.

Aside from the four Hokage having a small meeting, most of the village's strongmen were dealing with their own affairs. Some ninjas skilled in genjutsu, sealing techniques, and summoning techniques had gathered to try and break through this genjutsu space.

Because Zhang Chengyi didn't hide anything, but instead engraved a lot of information on the towering tower in the center of the Ninja Continent, anyone who gazes at the tower can obtain a genjutsu at the level of the creator of the illusory world, understand the difference and distance between the two worlds, and know how to return to reality and re-enter the illusion.

Combined with what Tobirama Senju sensed, they could basically determine the authenticity of this information. And regardless of whether the information left by Zhang Chengyi was true or false, they could only make corresponding preparations based on the true information at this time.

There was nothing they could do; Zhang Chengyi's abilities were far beyond what the ninjas could comprehend. Even the legendary Sage of Six Paths, who was supposed to be omnipotent, was probably no match for him.

Chapter 485 If you're a man, go up to the 100th floor!

The real-life Konoha Village, an inn.

"Squeak!"

The tree branches clamped the entire room shut. Hashirama Senju stood solemnly on the roof opposite, issuing a command in a low voice: "Release your jutsu immediately!"

After discovering that there was a ninja technique covering an area that could perceive almost everyone, he rushed back.

Originally, he went to find his close friend, Uchiha Madara, whom he had sensed.

Unexpectedly, the culprit was openly staying in the village, so he took action without hesitation.

Even if a close friend attacks the village, he will kill them without mercy. A rogue ninja or a stranger will not receive the slightest bit of his leniency.

Even if you resurrected anyone, let alone him, you still cannot attack Konoha.

"Crack! Boom!"

The entire roof, along with the wooden branches wrapped around it, was ripped apart by Susanoo's arms. Zhang Chengyi stood in the roofless inn, atop Susanoo's skeleton, looking straight at Hashirama Senju, and smiled:

"You think you can order me around?"

Hashirama Senju's chakra and cells were somewhat abnormal; his chakra couldn't be implanted offline, so he couldn't pull the target into the virtual world.

Even so, he still didn't think he would have any opponents. With the illusory world, Yin-Yang Escape Technique, and Reincarnation as his trump cards, he didn't care if they started fighting on the spot. Anyway, he could be resurrected, and the souls of the dead could be taken into the illusory world. If they wanted to return to reality, they could obediently fight the phantoms of the strong inside and use a lottery to obtain resurrection tickets.

I don't want to go back to reality. The virtual world refreshes every day, with unlimited resurrections. I can play however I want, which is much more enjoyable than the garbage reality of the Naruto world.

Kisame Hoshigaki, Might Guy, and Itachi Uchiha lay in the ruins, while the staff of the two nearby inns were clearly barely breathing.

This guy...

Hashirama Senju was finding the situation a bit tricky. Normally, he could quickly subdue anyone except Madara, no matter where they were.

But this guy in front of him is a monster who has clearly defeated Madara. Even he is not confident of victory. If the battle starts in the village, Konoha can be permanently wiped out of the ninja world tonight.

Thinking of Tsunade's evaluation of Zhang Chengyi and the large amount of intelligence she had gathered, he knelt on the roof without hesitation after a moment's thought and said, "Please, please let everyone go."

Since the other party resurrected him, he was willing to give up his life in exchange for the lives of everyone in the village.

"Shh!"

Madara Uchiha landed lightly, saying sarcastically, "You're still as stupid as ever, Hashirama."

He stared at Zhang Chengyi. "Is this your Eye of the Moon Project?"

From Black Zetsu's words, he learned that Zhang Chengyi had discussed the Eye of the Moon Plan with Obito in the past. When he discovered that people in the ninja world might be trapped in the genjutsu space, he inevitably suspected that this guy was also a 'fellow traveler'.

In other words, it's about sending people all over the world into an illusion to live a false sense of peace, a kind of delusional state.

“Yes, this is my plan,” Zhang Chengyi said with a deep expression. “Want to go in and see my world?”

"You should have already discovered the technique to get in, right?"

Even if you don't actively pull people in, it's the same as actively connecting with the virtual world through thought waves by creating a simulated world and then investing your spirit into it.

"Want my ninjutsu? You can have them all if you want. Go find them! I've left all my ninjutsu there!"

His voice suddenly rose in pitch, his emotions perfectly conveyed, as if he were about to die.

This completely baffled Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.

Zhang Chengyi nodded in satisfaction, adding his emotionally charged lines to the illusion of the tower in the virtual world, intending to release them to everyone who clears the first level of the tower in the future.

Currently, the first five floors of the tower are mostly occupied by ordinary people, ranging from thugs to ronin samurai. The sixth to tenth floors are occupied by genin, chunin, special jonin, ordinary jonin, and elite jonin.

After breaking through the tenth level, everything becomes shadow, progressing from weak to strong.
