Naruto Reborn: The Rise of the Tsar

Chapter 173 Illusion
Under Shukaku's troubles, Daming Mansion was already in chaos.

Almost all the halls were collapsed by the huge tail, and countless whirlwinds, fireballs or boulders were thrown towards Shukaku.

However, in Shukaku's perception, these attacks were not even tickling.

Underground in this Daming Mansion are densely packed tunnels.

With the invasion of Ichibi, almost all the guards escaped. No one knew whether these tunnels would collapse due to Shukaku's attack.

At this moment, two figures wrapped in black robes were shuttled through the tunnel at extremely fast speeds.

Although dust and even rocks fell from the top of the secret passage from time to time, the strange thing was that when they were about to come into contact with the two of them, those dust and rocks were quickly bounced away as if they were touching an invisible barrier.

"You are becoming more and more proficient in your eye skills." Xiaonan looked at the figure not far ahead and sighed, "When I think about how skinny you were back then, you are completely different."

"If you hadn't saved me at that time, I would have starved to death in the mountains."

"No one can survive alone." Xiaonan seemed to remember something, and a slight smile appeared on his face. "Even Fuchuan is as powerful as he can't do it."

"We're here!" Nagato suddenly stopped.

Staring at the stone door ahead, his brows furrowed.

"What's wrong?" Xiaonan asked confused.

"There is a faint feeling of formation fluctuations ahead."

"Can't you even see your eyesight?"

"No." Nagato slowly shook his head, "There is a chakra isolation circle ahead."

"Yura and Yahiko are right behind, aren't they?"

"According to Yingxue's guess, this is the case." Nagato pondered, "She has been one of the three inner ninjas for a long time, and she is still responsible for intelligence work. I think there should be nothing wrong."

"In that case, the only way is to go in, right?"

"The formation in the Daming Mansion dungeon may be very dangerous." Nagato slowly turned his head and said, "I'll go in first, Xiaonan, you cover for me!"

Then, without waiting for Xiaonan to agree, he stepped forward and pushed the stone door forward.
Suddenly, a warm wind blew in my face.

There was no hint of the dark, damp musty smell deep underground. Instead, there was a fresh fragrance of grass, with a bit of the chill after the rain.

For a moment, Nagato seemed to feel like he was back in the Land of Rain.

When he opened his eyes again, he suddenly found a familiar figure walking towards him eagerly.

"Nagato, did you fall again?"

When Nagato looked back at himself, he seemed to have transformed into the body of a six or seven-year-old child, lying on the ground covered in rainwater.

Is it illusion?

Nagato immediately used the pupil technique as soon as he thought about it.

Suddenly, a familiar touch came, and Nagato felt himself being lifted up, then gently held and patted on the back.

The familiar figure in his memory was right in front of him, and a faint mist suddenly appeared in the corners of Nagato's eyes.
"Mother.".

"What's wrong?" The woman patiently wiped the rain off Nagato's forehead and smiled fondly, "My Nagato started crying again?"

"I miss you so much." "Hey!,," Suddenly a man carrying a big bamboo basket stood in the distance, waving to the two of them and said, "If you don't hurry up, the sun is going to set!"

It's dad.
Nagato felt his body become lighter. It turned out that the woman had lifted him up on her back and trotted forward quickly.

"Fuso, let me do it!" Nagato's father stepped forward to help.

"Forget it," the woman named Fuso rolled her eyes, "You're not as strong as me yet, so hurry up and go aside. Remember to cook tonight!"

"Good."

This was once when the war broke out. Nagato's parents took him to the mountains to pick some edible mushrooms, wild vegetables and the like.

If I remember correctly, that day was his birthday, and Nagato's family of three finally rushed back exhausted before dark.

The three of them had a pleasant night together.

Just a little while. Just a little while
Nagato murmured to himself, and couldn't help but hug his mother's arms tightly with his arms.
Soon the three of them arrived home. The furnishings at home were exactly the same as in their memories.
After a day of running around, soreness spread all over his body. Nagato was placed on a chair by his mother, and he quietly watched his father and mother busy preparing dinner, with a few laughter and curses coming from time to time.

How wonderful it would be if life could go on like this and that day never comes.

Unknowingly, Nagato had been immersed in the illusion for an unknown length of time. First it was one day, then three days, then a month. Finally, Nagato had almost forgotten the fact of the environment he was in.

Just living happily in the cabin with my parents.

On a night of lightning and thunder, Nagato was awakened by a vision.

When he opened his eyes, he saw his parents hiding nervously aside, signaling him not to make any sound.

Just like the script, Nagato accidentally made a noise after all.

When his parents fell in a pool of blood trying to save themselves, Nagato's mind went blank for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, anger suddenly surged into his heart, and his samsara eyes stared coldly at the two Konoha ninjas in front of him.
The moment the door opened, Xiaonan was instantly pulled into the illusion.

Like Nagato, he was immediately addicted. However, as a faint black-blue light lit up, Konan instantly regained his clarity and unlocked the illusion.

However, when she realized that Nagato in front of her had been standing still for a quarter of an hour without waking up, she felt something was wrong.

How could this happen? With Nagato's strength, even if he couldn't notice it immediately and wake up, he shouldn't have been immersed in the illusion for so long!
As everyone knows, the illusion of this dungeon is to take advantage of the weaknesses of the human heart and place people in the best time in their subconscious. Its original intention is not to hurt people's lives, but a ninjutsu formation to trap the enemy.

Although Nagato immediately discovered that he was in a genjutsu, because he could not bear to leave his family, he took the initiative to indulge in the genjutsu. In the end, it was difficult to distinguish between fantasy and reality.
Suddenly, Xiaonan felt a strange and cold chakra rush towards his face.

If you look closely, the source turns out to be Nagato!

Nagato's eyes were dull, obviously he hadn't woken up from the illusion yet.

The next moment, Xiaonan clearly saw the anger on the other person's face, and he raised his hand and stretched out towards himself.

Shen Luo Tianzheng!

Boom!
As if Xiaonan felt like she was hit by a huge invisible wall, she flew backwards and hit the wall behind her hard.
Shukaku, who was making a fuss on the ground, faced three ninjas flying in the air and rushing toward him.

He opened his mouth and spat out, and a huge air-refining bomb shot out instantly.

A huge explosion sounded in the air, and the three ninjas who were attacking were instantly wiped out.
Just when Shukaku turned his head and wanted to continue to clear away those annoying guys around him, he was suddenly startled and looked around as if he felt something.
Is this the breath of the Six Paths?
The old man is here?
