Konoha's Master of Illusion

Chapter 47 Soul Out of Body
The dilapidated and old courtyard has many fallen leaves scattered on the ground, as if no one has lived there for a long time.

This is Konoha's orphanage.

But unlike Tetsuya's impression of the orphanage, which was full of noisy children, this place was empty and deserted.

He didn't look around and walked straight into the woods nearby.

A much younger pharmacist, Kabuto, was squatting under a tree and panting. His glasses were missing and his face was covered with tears.In front of him, a corpse was lying quietly. It was a woman with a gentle face, wearing a pair of glasses that were not the right size. Her long pale blond hair was spread out on the ground, and many dead leaves had fallen on it.

Yakushi Nonou, so is this the memory illusion of Yakushi Kabuto?
But unexpectedly, young Kabuto suddenly looked at him:
"Master Orochimaru is really right, or I have too little experience. No, Orochimaru probably doesn't know that you are so special, otherwise, who would care about Sasuke Uchiha?"

"I thought I was just looking through your memories."

"To a certain extent, you are right. I often come here in my dreams. This is one of the most profound scenes in my memory. Simply put, this is the depth of my spirit and soul. It should only be I can only appear here myself.”

Kabuto was still sitting there, and his eyes returned to the dead Nonoyu in front of him:
"You know it all, you probably think I'm stupid."

Zheye nodded:
"really."

"Hahaha, after Orochimaru told me the so-called truth, I can't believe that I can be so stupid and impulsive."

"But the fact is that, I personally killed and gave me my name, gave me glasses, took care of the only relative I grew up with, and even gave up saving her because of a misunderstanding that made people laugh."

"So I firmly believe in what Orochimaru told me. Things like family, friendship, and love will only trip you up, make you suffer, make you feel helpless, and make you unable to ask for it or let it go. This is the so-called bond. !”

Zhe also leaned against a tree and said in a chatty tone:

"So you want to follow Orochimaru's example and set a goal for yourself, whether it's immortality or mastering the ultimate secret of ninjutsu, as long as it allows you to let go of this painful memory, is that enough?"

"You are right, you understand very well."

Kabuto laughed again, but there was no joy and relaxation as before, only helplessness:
"It's a pity that I don't have Lord Orochimaru's determination to abandon everything. Even now, I can't let go of this memory that belongs to me."

He stood up, walked to Nonoyu's body and squatted down, carefully took off his glasses, put them on and raised his head:
"Thank you for listening to me for a few words. I hope to see her there again, and of course I hope I don't see you anytime soon."

After Kabuto said this, Tetsuya hadn't responded yet, and everything in front of him began to distort.

When he came back to his senses, Tetsuya came to the stone monument space in his dream again.

Nothing much changes here.

He looked at the words on the stone tablet carefully again and confirmed that there were no changes, so he wanted to quit here and wake up and return to reality.

But he failed.
After trying several times, Zheye lay helplessly on the stone tile floor, leaning against the smooth marble surface, staring at the surrounding darkness in a daze.

what happened?

After carefully recalling the scene at that time, he realized that something might be wrong with his state.

Although he was unable to move normally, why could he suddenly get up and attack Kabuto so quickly?Moreover, his hand seemed to have directly penetrated the opponent's head, as if
It was as if his hand had been transformed by divine power.

And, he doesn't remember feeling grounded, it seems.
Flying?

Could it be that his spiritual body left his physical body?But why is this happening?Why are you trapped here now and unable to leave?

He turned to look at the stone tablet again. If there was some kind of mutation in his body, then there should be a description on it, right?But it's a pity that no matter how hard you stare at those words, they remain exactly the same as before.

There are no changes in day and night here, and there is no clock to measure time. Zheya can only roughly estimate the time by feeling his own pulse.

But in theory, he was in a dream, or in a different space similar to the divine space. It's hard to say how accurate this timing method is.

As time passed, Zheye felt that the surroundings were surprisingly quiet. He could even hear his own heartbeat. At first, he was quite happy that he didn't have to touch it with his hands to calculate the time. But as the sound became louder and louder, the blood in his blood vessels The flow in the body, the gas rubbing against the nose and lungs during breathing, the peristalsis of the stomach and intestines, and all kinds of sounds in the body are constantly becoming apparent. At first they are subtle, but in the end they sound like thunder and lightning!
Until he punched the stone bricks next to him, all strange noises stopped abruptly.

It's too quiet and too boring.
Must find something to do
Tetsuya stood up and moved his body at will, practicing the Konoha Taijutsu routines several times, and then he began to be surprised to find that he did not feel tired.

He did not immediately start practicing with joy, but thought about the reasons.

Assuming that the space of the stone monument in the dream where he is located is a manifestation of some kind of spiritual embodiment, rather than a physically real place, then of course his body is just an illusion formed by the spiritual embodiment.

He looked at his hands. The powerful vision was still effective here, and he could clearly observe every hair and pore.

He began to say to himself:

"If it is false, then there is no need for you to exist, or I can control you."

At first, Zheye did act like a mentally disturbed fool, staring at his hands and studying and observing them, hoping to produce some kind of wonderful changes, but his efforts for a long time had no effect.

It wasn't until he was truly disappointed that he casually said:
"There is really no need to exist. It's boring."

After his interest was exhausted, Zhe also began to circle around the stele aimlessly, until at a certain moment, when he wanted to reach out and touch the stele again, he suddenly realized:
"Where is my hand?"

Looking down to the left and right, his arms seemed to have been cut off by something, including his clothes, which completely disappeared, leaving only his shoulders.But this feeling didn't cause him any discomfort at first, so he didn't notice when the hands disappeared.

Upon discovering this, Tetsuya immediately became excited. He started staring at his feet, torso and even thinking about his head.

And make them all disappear as you wish.

The feeling after that was very strange. He had lost his body, hands and feet, but he could still see, breathe, and walk. To be precise, he was floating around here.

In fact, breathing is not necessary, and Zhe also began to hold his breath, although he has no body, mouth, nose and lungs.

Sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste are also unnecessary.

Tetsuya fell into boundless darkness, with only his own mind still active and nothing outside.

This state lasted for a moment, and he immediately regained his five senses. Compared with not having a body, the state without these five senses was a bit scary. Zheye even forced himself not to think about that indescribable experience.

Then the body, breathing, heartbeat, etc. return again.

In fact, it is better to have a healthy body.
If it can be modified at will, Zheye immediately thought of something fun, and began to form seals with his hands, so fast that afterimages were produced:

"Water Release: Great Waterfall!"

Endless turbulence erupted out of thin air, submerging Zheye's figure in the blink of an eye, and then the turbulent current swept across and spread to the surroundings.

When Zheya came back to his senses, the whole space was filled with water.
Swim in the water and reach the edge of the space. The water cannot enter the pitch-black outside. The thick ink-like darkness around it feels like a solid and thick rock wall. This space is a small bubble open in the mountain without any passage. .

With a thought, all the water disappeared completely, and his eyes left the dark abyss that could not be seen, and returned to the stone monument standing in the center of this space.

"disappear?"

The next moment, the scene suddenly changed.

Taking a quick look, Tetsuya found that he was standing where he had been attacked by Kabuto Yakushi. His translucent body was standing in the air, with about an inch of space between his feet and the floor.

"Did I really have an out-of-body experience?"

Tetsuya's transparent body disappeared immediately, and his consciousness began to run, or rather fly, towards his room.
