Chapter 141 The Real World
Mountain Prison.
After Madara rejected him, Naraku's expression showed only a hint of surprise and disappointment, which quickly faded.
He had been like this ever since he woke up; all his emotions were very faint.
He felt no fear, no sadness, and no anger.
The only thing that remained in his heart was an endless pain.
He stood up, took a few steps back, and softly repeated, "Thank you for saving me, but no matter what, I must return to the Village."
"What's so good about that rotten place?"
Madara sneered, "You can't possibly think I wouldn't see how you got injured, can you? How does it feel to be betrayed by your companions?"
At these words, Naraku's face paled a few shades, and he pressed his lips together, no longer speaking.
The subtle changes in his expression and his unconscious small movements made him look even more like Izuna.
Madara used immense willpower to tear his gaze away from Naraku, lest he soften towards this stubborn brat.
After a few seconds, Naraku stubbornly shook his head, refusing to stay again.
"Please forgive me."
"Foolish."
An unprovoked anger flared in Madara's heart; he had spoken so earnestly, yet this brat was still so unappreciative.
Why did he insist on returning to Konoha? Who was even left in Konoha?
So he said coldly, "You can leave whenever you want, but with this dilapidated body, you won't be able to get out."
Following Madara's gaze, Naraku saw the giant boulder blocking the exit, so massive it was almost a small mountain.
Even if Naraku wasn't severely injured now, he probably wouldn't be able to shatter it.
"Even if you could get out, you wouldn't live for two more years before dying again, so why go through all this trouble?"
"Moreover, this world is so false, dark, and corrupt; everything you do is utterly meaningless."
Madara suppressed the anger he had just felt, and like a true elder considering his junior, he coaxed, "Stay here, and I will impart all my knowledge and abilities to you, giving you the chance to enter the true world."
Naraku murmured the part he "couldn't understand": "You said 'the true world'?"
"A world with only victors, only peace, only love... a world where only these exist."
Madara slightly raised his eyes to look into the void, as if he was already gazing at such a future, then stared at Naraku, his pair of crimson eyes seeming to pierce through him.
"No conspiracies or betrayals, no inability to save, no gaining and losing again, everyone can live safely and soundly..."
Seeing Naraku's eyes tremble and his expression show a hint of wavering, Madara added fuel to the fire.
"For your eyes to reach such a level, you must have experienced a lot, haven't you?"
"Things in this world often don't go as one wishes, but in that world, everyone you've lost will return to your side, and all the wishes you want to fulfill will be granted."
"Don't you want it? A world where your important people still exist."
"Think it over carefully."
With that, Madara closed his eyes, giving Naraku no chance to ask any questions.
Naraku stood dazed in place for a long time until he shivered from the cold, then, as if waking from a dream, he returned to bed.
Curled up under the covers, Naraku tossed and turned, unable to calm his mind.
In the eyes of Black Zetsu, who was monitoring nearby, Naraku was already close to being captivated by Madara's plan, and just a little more leverage would make him completely side with them.
Perhaps, he could let him see his own Tsukuyomi world in advance.
That way, when he woke from the dream, he surely wouldn't be able to accept reality, right?
Black Zetsu was very pleased with this plan and patiently waited for Naraku to fall asleep so he could cast his genjutsu into his dream... Naraku pretended to toss and turn, lying in bed, staring blankly, though he was actually contemplating when would be the best time to leave.
The reason he wasn't leaving now was, firstly, that he was severely injured and needed time to recover, and secondly, he wanted to gather more'screen time' from Madara when the future truth was revealed.
However, he had no intention of staying permanently.
After all, joining the Eye of the Moon Plan now and not leaving might lead to him being directly hidden by the animator, and it would take many years before he re-entered the audience's view, which was too unprofitable.
So, for now, it was best to return to Konoha and ride the main storyline of the Third Great Ninja War, then find a suitable time later to break away and return to Black Zetsu.
If promising to join the Eye of the Moon could grant him temporary freedom of action, he naturally wouldn't mind playing along and acting as a double agent in Konoha.
But if even that wasn't possible, then he would just have to use Susanoo to fight his way out.
He couldn't pick up sesame seeds and lose the watermelon, after all.
Speaking of the main storyline, the anime should have updated, right?
Naraku had the system open the website, and "naruto" finally had several new episodes.
—
Starting from the last progress point, it immediately showed Uzumaki Mito's funeral, taking an entire episode to depict the various reactions of people, and the audience grieved the passing of the last member of the original protagonist group.
[The era has completely turned a new page, even Mito is gone]
[Sigh, us old fans can't bear to watch these]
[I really miss Konoha when Hashirama was around; although it wasn't as developed as it is now, everyone seemed very happy]
[That damn The Old Thief, even at a time like this, he's giving us kakashi a knife!]
In the next episode, the first half showed Kakashi performing various missions, trying to numb himself through busyness.
However, Minato often took him along, and even invited him to Kushina's house when they returned to the Village, with the three of them celebrating dinner together.
Kakashi ate curry heartily at the dinner table, his inner thoughts slowly revealing to the audience that he knew the two seniors were taking such good care of him out of respect for his father.
Every time he thought of his father's current state, he would feel even sadder.
[No medicine, Kami can't become a mission machine, boo hoo hoo]
[Minato and Kushina are so good; without their care, who knows what Kakashi would be like]
[Kakashi is really trying hard to live]
[It's really too heartbreaking, I can't bear to watch]
After another mission, Kakashi returned to Konoha, walking alone with his head down on the street, and the boys passing by stirred countless memories.
Kakashi stared blankly at the retreating figures of the two children; in his eyes, they had transformed into him and Naraku.
-- Has it really been so long?
As this inner thought sounded, the screen quickly flashed through several past scenes, all depicting the choice he made on that rainy night.
The flashback ended, and Kakashi stood with his hands in his pockets, looking up at the sky.
-- Why did I... ever do that?
White clouds and the sun clearly reflected in his eyes, and the warm light shone on his face, like a divine comfort.
A gentle breeze brushed through his light blonde hair, and all the viewers heard a faint crisp sound, as if glass was cracking.
The animator also cooperated with the sound effect, showing a completely black screen, and a tiny golden crack flashed before everyone's eyes.
Then, Kakashi also heard a voice from the depths of his soul, familiar and ethereal, as if it were right beside him.
[Kakashi...]
"Naraku?"
He turned his head in surprise, but behind him was empty, only withered leaves swirling in the autumn wind, drawing an arc in the air and gently landing on the ground.
[They used to be Kakashi and Naraku, it really seems like a long time ago]
[At that time, we just thought it was ordinary]
[Kakashi must regret it, right?]
[Definitely regrets it, my friend]
[What the heck, what's going on?]
[Something shattered??]
[I knew Kakashi had a problem! He didn't intentionally hurt Naraku, boo hoo hoo hoo hoo]
[Who is it? Who laid hands on our Kakashi!]
[Blind guess, Danzo! It's definitely him!]
—
----------------------------------
Chapter 142 "The Three Uchiha Brothers" Debut on the Spot
Naraku was utterly stunned.
Kakashi actually broke out of the Genjutsu by himself? Was Black Zetsu that weak?
However, seeing what happened next, he felt a slight relief.
The Jutsu hadn't been completely broken yet, so Kakashi was temporarily safe.
But from the looks of it, the Genjutsu wouldn't last much longer, so he had to quickly reassure Black Zetsu.
Otherwise, if Black Zetsu found out the Jutsu had disappeared, wouldn't he hit Kakashi with another harsh blow, just in case?
The scene shifted to Minato, who had just accepted a mission from the Hokage Office and still had to comfort Jiraiya, who was waiting for him downstairs and fretting over missing Tsunade.
After Minato asked why he was so dejected, Jiraiya showed the bitter smile of an elder who had experienced many hardships.
"One can lose opportunities again and again."
"But it cannot be a near miss, nor can it be a lost chance."
"Still too young…"
The audience initially thought they would delve into some life philosophy, but Jiraiya's conversation quickly veered towards developing new Ninjutsu.
At the end of the episode, the screen froze on Kakashi and Minato looking back at Konoha before heading to Rōran.
[Wow! Jiraiya is finally back!]
[He's still handsome in middle age, Frog Sage!]
[Can't complain, this is real life.]
[Yeah, last time I just missed the last bus and almost died of anger... Although a taxi would have worked, it just felt bad.]
[That feeling of just barely missing out is really frustrating, it can easily lead people astray.]
[This turn caught me off guard.]
[When did the topic get sidetracked?]
A near miss… Naraku let out an almost imperceptible sigh.
The animator specifically excerpted this part to deliberately allude to him and Kakashi.
Presumably, in the animator's eyes, even if Kakashi could later break Black Zetsu's Genjutsu, it would already be too late.
Now, Uchiha Naraku's emotions and personality were almost destroyed, his soul completely fallen into the abyss, beyond saving.
Kakashi's awakening was ultimately a step too late.
They couldn't go back to how things were.
Wasn't this also a kind of missed opportunity?
Skipping the opening theme, the next episode was surprisingly not about Kakashi's experiences in Rōran, but rather the fanboy's journey of idol worship from Uchiha Shisui's perspective.
[Woohoo! New character unlocked!]
[Cute Uchiha boy - Come into Auntie's pocket]
[You creepy auntie, get away! I'll protect Shisui's smile!]
[Damn, Scum Shinji almost gave me PTSD, thankfully Entō is so normal.]
[This is what a good father is like!]
[Shisui: Eating my biological father's recommendation, so good~]
[Hhhhh, it's like me fangirling, so relatable.]Chapter 143 - 145

Chapter 143 Following Shisui's complete emotional journey
Following Shisui's complete emotional journey, the audience had already fallen deeply for this innocent and adorable little boy.
[Baby Shisui is an angel! Only he cares if Naraku is sad, boo hoo hoo hoo… ]
[Mom is so nice, she even gave him the idea to fold paper cranes.]
[Compared to Shisui, Naraku's childhood was really tough.]
[Let Shisui give Naraku some sweetness, he's had it so hard.]
Naraku's soul tumbled around in his mental space, utterly perplexed.
It was understandable that the animator might not want to show the part where Naruto and Yamato, two Ninja from the future, might appear in Rōran, and instead change the content.
But why start with Uchiha Shisui?
Although Shisui was highly talented, he wasn't at the point where the animator would focus on him now, was he?
As he pondered, the story progressed to Shisui's mysterious bow.
Bathed in the romantic and magnificent sunset glow, Shisui ran excitedly, full of anticipation, until he saw Naraku, sparkling under the setting sun, giving him an extremely gentle smile.
His heart pounded in his chest, so nervous he didn't know what to do, finally clearing his mind and bowing instinctively, almost making the audience die of laughter, with the comments filled with "hahahahaha."
Finally, amidst the conversation between Naraku and the clan leader's wife, Shisui clenched his small fists, vowing to talk to Senior Naraku next time.
[I totally understand Shisui, when I go to an idol's concert, everything on the way also seems especially good.]
[Oh my! Naraku got several levels handsomer again!]
[He's so incredibly handsome, no wonder the Uchiha clan, from top to bottom, all have their eyes on him (not really).]
[What, just standing there, screenshotting? (Too handsome to speak coherently)]
[This is exactly me seeing my idol, Old Thief quickly turn off the monitor!]
[Hahahahaha, what a pure little cat! How can he be so cute!]
[Baby, you're a sweet, soft little cake Baby]
[Younger isn't out of the question...]
[Lewd words! Naraku isn't even ten years old yet!]
[Forgive me, Kakashi, this is really the last time!]
[Fūyō brother and Shisui younger brother, so hard to choose.]
[Oh my Uchiha succubus.]
Naraku's face was covered in black lines: So that time he was just nervous? I thought he was trying to send me off.
Continuing to watch, the next episode was still from Uchiha Shisui's perspective.
Could it be that the animator really thought highly of Shisui?
His mother's birthday was approaching, and Shisui had been worrying about a gift for several days, so Uchiha Obito, who hadn't appeared in a while, made a grand entrance and suggested they go hunting in the forest.
----------------------------------
Chapter 144 They did manage to hunt a wild rabbit
They did manage to hunt a wild rabbit, but it was immediately followed by a huge wild boar.
The two of them struggled with all their might to take down the wild boar, and Obito was badly injured, even breaking his leg, so he had to let Shisui go to the Hospital to get someone to help him.
[Obito: I have a plan! Shisui: Alright, bro!]
[Holy cow, that wild boar must weigh several hundred kilograms, right?]
[Obito is a true man, he didn't hesitate at all.]
[That was too close, if Obito hadn't pushed him, the tusk would have slashed Shisui's waist.]
[Phew, that was a close win, brothers.]
Shisui endured the sharp pain in his ankle and ran towards the Hospital, and as he passed the riverbank, he saw a familiar figure emerge from below the grassy slope.
Seeing him stammering and unable to speak, Naraku first healed his sprained ankle, then heard a long string of requests to save someone, immediately nodded in agreement, and carried him back the way they came.
[It's so late, why is Naraku here? What a coincidence!]
[Shisui: Just say it quickly!]
[Naraku is really so gentle, if my idol treated me like this, I'd follow him my whole life.]
[But at first glance, he looks so tired, his eyes are empty.]
[Suddenly I thought, on Naraku's way back, would his eyes be filled with Sakumo's image from back then?]
[Late night, saving someone, time is tight, all the buffs are maxed out.]
[Shut up, ah ah ah ah ah ah!]
[I have no quarrel with the gentlemen in front, why do you want to kill me?]
By the time Naraku rushed to the location in a frantic hurry, Obito was alive and kicking, grinning as he slit the wild boar's throat to drain its blood.
Even Naraku, who had seen much, was stunned by the sight before him.
Shisui's eyes turned into dots, and he stood frozen on the spot.
Six huge black dots appeared behind the two of them, and a cartoon crow slowly floated by.
[Hahahahaha, Obito is such a clown.]
[Shisui: Brother Obito, next to you, we're like greenhorns.]
[It's too abstract, so much so that the relatively normal Naraku and Shisui can't understand it.]
[I'm telling you, Konoha people are all abstract masters.]
[This episode is so joyful, it almost makes me uncomfortable.]
Naraku was the first to recover from the shock, coming to Obito's side and feeling his injured ribs, and in the instant he answered a question, he neatly reset a rib.
The "crack" sound was incredibly crisp and loud, making the audience's scalps tingle.
Then, before Obito could even finish his scream of agony, there were three more "crack, crack, crack" sounds, which made Obito's face turn pale and his eyes roll back.
As for that weak and powerless accusation, Naraku simply adopted Minato's old excuse with a righteous expression, brushing it off.
[Hiss... My ribs hurt!]
[How do I dodge a zero-frame starter?]
[Plagiarism rate 100%]
[Naraku: It's finally my turn to say this to someone else.]
[Who made Obito so much fun to tease?]
[It seems Kakashi also liked to tease Obito and watch him lose his composure back in school, hahahaha.]
Seeing Naraku touch his calf again, Obito flinched in fright, not expecting that the other person was only checking and had no intention of doing anything.
He was secretly relieved that he wouldn't need bone-setting this time, but then he saw Naraku use the Shadow Clone Jutsu, which he had always wanted to learn, and his eyes almost popped out of his head with envy.
He hadn't even had a few seconds to feel sour before a Shadow Clone scooped him up in a princess carry, holding him firmly, and his little face immediately turned green.
He tried to struggle but found he was held even tighter, so Obito could only cover his face and comfort himself: It's the middle of the night, no one can see him like this.
He also inwardly grumbled that Naraku was actually a big schemer.
[Hmm???]
[No!! Why is he being rewarded!!]
[I can also fight a wild boar! Naraku, carry me!]
[The abacus beads of the sisters in front just hit my face.]
[Another rival for Kakashi?]
[Not really, Obito likes that little girl named Rin.]
[It's fine, it doesn't stop me from shipping them.]
----------------------------------
Chapter 145 Graciously accept Naraku's kindness
[Oh, Obito - Who said no one can see? Now all the audience members have seen you being princess-carried Princess-carried~]
[Graciously accept Naraku's kindness, little princess Obito~]
[Kakashi: You're complaining? I wish I had that!]
[Naraku in this episode really has a bit of that natural darkness, so exciting.]
[Our Baby Naraku is just that A, hehehehehe!]
Afterward, the three went to the Hospital for bandaging and treatment.
At Naraku's prompting, Obito cheerfully thanked Shisui, completely unconcerned that all his injuries were from helping Shisui catch a rabbit.
Just as Shisui was about to be overwhelmed with guilt, Naraku paused for a few seconds, completely changing his usual humble and gentle demeanor, and spewed venom at Obito, who was dumbfounded and angrily accused him of being corrupted by Kakashi.
Naraku, however, escalated, leaning in provocatively to whisper "sweet nothings" into Shisui's ear, which angered Obito so much that he threw away his crutch and grabbed Naraku by the collar, ready to fight him one-on-one.
Shisui couldn't even stop them, wanting Naraku to say something soft to de-escalate, but what he got was another provocation, making Shisui jump up and down with anxiety.
[Obito is so optimistic, Naraku will definitely become happier by spending more time with him.]
[I think Naraku is pretty happy right now, he was having a blast pranking Obito.]
[Oh wow Such sudden sharp-tonguedness I love him even more.]
[It seems teasing Obito is really fun? Even someone with Naraku's personality can't resist.]
[Baby Naraku is suddenly so delicate and sweet, I want to kiss him.]
[Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, Baby Naraku's affected mannerisms are really getting to me.]
[The comment section is not an unmanned zone.]
[Shisui and Obito, you two are really lucky, Sakumo and Kakashi never saw Naraku like this.]
["Senior, say something." "Senior, maybe you shouldn't say anything."]
[Naraku: If I really say something, you'll be unhappy...]
[On how to make a fanboy tell me to shut up with one sentence.]
[They're practically three clowns, hahahaha!]
[They should just debut on the spot! The group name will be uchiha three brothers!]
[That's too cheesy, hey! So lame!]
Finally, the sudden farce ended, and Shisui was mentally exhausted, only wanting to go home and sleep, completely forgetting his guilt and shame.
Naraku's Shadow Clone returned with the prey, and thoughtfully retrieved the lost wild rabbit, watching its original body, who was bickering with Obito at the Hospital entrance, with a puzzled gaze.
The Shadow Clone was indeed the familiar Shisui knew—kind, meticulous, and gentle.
So he suddenly understood why the gentle and considerate Senior Naraku would suddenly cause such a scene.
Shisui turned to look at Naraku's original body, his surprised eyes tinged with emotion.
-- Was it so I wouldn't fall into self-reproach?
-- Senior is so kind, it must have been hard for him to act like that.
-- I must bear this lesson and strive to become stronger, so as not to betray this kindness.
The fanboy's idol filter had grown several layers thicker; even Naraku's insistence on carrying Obito home, despite Obito's resistance, was seen as consideration for his injured clan brother's leg.
-- Senior Naraku, truly perfect.
[Naraku was acting... I knew something was up when he suddenly started pranking Obito.]
[Actually, I still hoped it was real, at least he was happy.]
[Always thinking of others, Naraku, when will you think of yourself?]
[I just want to ask, why are there always people in the comments trying to assassinate me? Can't I just die?]
[Shisui is smart, reacting so quickly.]
[It's over, the child has completely fallen.]
[Welcome to the Naraku solo stan family, little Shisui~]
[One should not meet too stunning a person in youth, otherwise, the rest of one's life will not be peaceful.]
The audience was immersed in a joyful atmosphere throughout the entire episode, marveling that Old Thief had finally shown mercy, only to be stabbed in the back in the last minute.
After seeing Obito and Shisui home, Naraku walked alone on the path, bathed in moonlight.
It was late, and silence surrounded him, with only the rustle of his own footsteps in his ears.
The gentle smile on his face gradually faded, and his entire being exuded an aura of weariness and helplessness from within.
All outward appearances were a disguise.
Only when he was alone would he allow his lonely, sorrowful self to surface, gaining a brief respite.
[Naraku is alone again.]
[Turns out, even that quiet smile was an act o(╥﹏╥)o]
[Naraku has become so good at faking happiness...]
[Damage to the soul is not so easily healed, perhaps it takes a lifetime.]
[Enough, Old Thief, I said enough, I truly pity him.]
[Old Thief, do you have an addiction to hurting the audience?]Chapter 146 - 148

Chapter 146 This was bought by a Jonin
Ignoring the audience's wails at the end, Naraku glanced at the progress. There were three episodes left, and he wasn't sure if they would focus on Kakashi or reveal his own experiences.
But he had a premonition that it would most likely be the mission to capture Yun Muyan from before, used to deliver a crushing blow to the audience.
Otherwise, given the animator's habits, why give "the three of them" so much screen time and add the part where he deliberately showed himself at the very end?
He clicked on the next episode, and sure enough, the camera focused on him packing his things that morning.
—
From the beginning, the shots were all close-ups: hands wearing fingerless gloves, a Kunai stuck in the shadows, a long sword placed on his back... Finally, the camera showed Naraku's full body, displaying his clean and agile physique.
Mikoto, worried that Naraku was not in good shape, couldn't help but try to persuade him, but she was moved by his determination and will, unwilling to diminish his dignity.
[Ah ah ah ah, this episode is still Naraku! So handsome!]
[Is he going on a mission? Can Naraku do it?]
[Tsunade left with peace of mind, so there shouldn't be a big problem.]
[Perhaps only by living and working as before can Naraku feel better inside.]
[Yes, sitting around waiting to die is more likely to lead to depression. It's good to get out and be active.]
Might Duy was also on this mission, and the atmosphere was lively.
Even if only Naraku responded at first, Might Duy, with great enthusiasm, told youth stories the entire way. By the end, even the other two team members were infected and chatted together with shouts and cheers.
The animator briefly introduced the mission content through the captain's monologue, and the screen time immediately cut to the moment the group arrived at the mission location.
After disguising themselves, the five people split up and acted separately.
[Yay! We can watch Uncle Dai beat up enemies again!]
[It's good to have familiar faces; I feel much more at ease.]
[Uncle is truly a social butterfly, he really got everyone talking.]
[Beware of Konoha Ninja Dai-ification (laughs)]
Naraku circled the streets a few times. When he passed a small tavern, he unexpectedly found that the tracking tool was active.
He sent a Shadow Clone to report, and he himself entered the tavern first to continue investigating. Unexpectedly, his teammates hadn't even arrived, but the target had already noticed him and immediately burst out, fleeing.
But Naraku's Body Flicker Technique was faster. In the screen, after just a few simple flashes, he was already engaging the target.
The screen was full of sparks from clashing weapons. Naraku exchanged several blows with the opponent using extremely exquisite sword techniques, showing no sign of weakness from his serious illness. Instead, his moves were deadly and effortless.
[What good luck, found him so quickly!]
[I'm really afraid Naraku's body isn't well now, something might happen...]
[How did he find him? Did he alert the enemy?]
[Perhaps the Yun Mu Clan has a special Ninjutsu that allows for counter-detection.]
[What's the difference between this Body Flicker Technique and a flash? It's too amazing.]
[Holy crap! Nara-baby is so handsome! He doesn't look sick at all!]
Originally, seeing Naraku Pressing the opponent, the audience thought this time was a sure win.
However, when the Yun Mu Blood Secret Technique was unleashed, its horrifying destructive power, attack range, and corrosive effects made everyone's scalp tingle.
[Rain of a Thousand Petals?!]
[There must be one or two thousand of them. Only a Sharingan could defend against them with just one sword. Anyone else would have become a human sprinkler.]
[I feel like this blood is poisonous, right?]
[Look at what you're saying. Be confident and remove "feel like."]
[Getting hit by even one would lead to death by poison.]
[I know how the Yun Mu ancestor died now—bled to death from anemia.]
----------------------------------
Chapter 147 Then this move can't be used if you're anemic
[Then this move can't be used if you're anemic. You won't kill many enemies before you bleed yourself dry.]
While Naraku temporarily blocked the target's escape with shuriken, Might Duy seized the opportunity, let out a "Hoh!" and kicked the target flying upwards.
Then, before the opponent could even land, he presented a set that the audience often called the "Front Lotus Grand Combo."
The target used the Substitution Jutsu to try and escape, but couldn't evade Naraku's Three Tomoe's top-notch eyesight, and his figure was immediately discovered.
[This Lotus combo is so satisfying!]
[I love watching hand-to-hand combat and flashing blades. What's the point of cannons blasting each other?]
[Only Taijutsu and cold weapons? Then naruto would have to be renamed Fire Shadow Samurai.]
[His hands are fast, when did he use the Substitution Jutsu?]
[Probably before the Lotus, otherwise he would have been too kicked up to get up.]
[Naraku has the MVP pre-ordered for this one.]
At this point, the other teammates arrived one after another, and the few of them surrounded the target, fighting and chasing, with various Ninjutsu clashing.
Initially, due to insufficient intelligence, Naraku's side had little success with either Fire Release or Water Release, and even lost a teammate, Yagyu.
It wasn't until the captain used Earth Release for defense that they discovered the weakness of the blood Secret Technique lay in Earth Release Ninjutsu.
However, after Yagyu was injured, he seemed to be infected with some virus, his limbs convulsed uncontrollably, and he almost killed Zuo Tang.
Later, he entangled Might Duy, causing Konoha's side to lose three members at once.
[Is the Yun Mu Clan too useless? Can't they even provide basic intelligence?]
[Their family hasn't produced anyone who could learn the Secret Technique for hundreds of years, so it's normal for them not to know these things.]
[It's all black! This isn't blood, it's venom, right?]
[Holy crap?!]
[Zombie, zombie, zombie... zombie crisis!]
[No way?! This is no different from being cursed! It's a remote-controlled curse!]
[Good thing Naraku wasn't hit. Just thinking about that earlier downpour of blood makes my hair stand on end. If even one drop had gotten through, it would have been all over.]
[Uncle Dai faces the dilemma of whether or not to kill a teammate for the first time in his life.]
[Maybe there's still a chance to save him? No one can immediately decide to kill a comrade.]
[Indeed, it's not something you can do immediately.]
Seeing their combat strength suddenly decrease, Naraku, through subtle clues, discovered that the Yun Mu Secret Technique had limits. He successfully used the Threaded Severing Technique to destroy the Secret Technique's poisonous blood for the first time.
Yun Muyan, cornered, unleashed a bloody downpour with a wider range and stronger destructive power than before. Coupled with the captain's mistimed Earth Flow Rampart, he ultimately escaped.
This angered the audience, who cursed throughout the entire ending song.
[Naraku's mind is still sharp. His combat intelligence is really high.]
[Great strength creates miracles, netizens truly speak the truth.]
[Why do I feel like this captain is so useless? His command is bad, his cover is off, and Naraku's entire field of vision is gone.]
[Yeah, couldn't he have used the Mind Body Disturbance Jutsu to control Yagyu? Was it necessary to let Uncle Dai be held back?]
[An incompetent general wears out his three armies (¬_¬)]
[Did he buy his Jonin rank?]
At the start of the next episode, the captain finally ordered Might Duy to directly eliminate Yagyu, then to stay put.
Naraku couldn't bear to leave Yagyu to die, so he sent a Shadow Clone back to treat him.
The captain didn't stop this action. He chased the target all the way to a cliff, found him again, and then had Naraku take the main attack while he covered from the rear.
While Naraku fought the target, he quickly erected a large Earth Flow Rampart, completely cutting off the opponent's possibility of escape for a short time.
This large-scale Earth Release Ninjutsu was quite effective, and the audience's complaining comments decreased.
But very quickly, they saw the captain looking deflated, his support becoming weaker and more delayed with each passing moment, even dragging Naraku down. They immediately started cursing in the comments.
[Stay put?? This captain has a screw loose!]
[Naraku is still kind-hearted, unlike this confused and cold-blooded captain.]
[Let Naraku go... Are you the captain or is he the captain? Are you a Jonin or is he a Jonin?]
[If Naraku himself wasn't strong enough, wouldn't this just be a waste?]
[First time I've been so angered by a Konoha Jonin that I'm spitting blood. So unprofessional.]
[Ah ah ah ah ah, I'm so mad! How can there be such a useless Jonin?]
[Who passed his Jonin assessment?! Who?! Did they take money?!]
[I'm really speechless. There was a great chance to win, but it turned out like this.]
[Don't fear a god-like opponent, only fear a pig-like teammate.]
