Chapter 241 - 239: Limited Gentle Land of Falling

Chapter 241: Chapter 239: Limited Gentle Land of Falling

"Have I... lost? No, how could I possibly admit to such a thing! Rin, one more time, let’s create a world with you in it once more!"

Obito stood up in a disheveled state. She had already lost—lost many times over. Even when she used Wood Release, even when she tried to twist heads with Kamui, and even when she sucked Kano into the Kamui Dimension, she was still able to escape.

Obito felt a bit aggrieved. Tears the size of peas fell one by one. It wasn’t that she wanted to cry so much, but in this girl’s body, the tears really couldn’t be stopped. Even though she was expressionless right now, the tears would still spill out.

It just hurt too much to be beaten like that.

This was her final attempt to defeat Kano.

"Kano! This is my final move! It is a clumsy imitation of you, and also my last hope for a comeback."

Kakashi-sensei felt that things were taking a turn for the worse. It looked like Obito was about to unleash an incredible Ninjutsu, so he immediately stood up, ready to intervene.

"That’s enough, Obito. This is just a training exercise; there’s no need to be so desperate."

"Shut up, Trash Kakashi! I know that without you telling me; I lost very ugly." Obito then looked at Kano. "One last round. Regardless of whether I win or lose, I won’t struggle anymore."

"What are you planning to do? It’s not going to be a dangerous move, is it?"

Kano looked at Obito with some vigilance. Naruko also sensed Kano’s nervous tension and came to Kano’s side.

"No, no, no, it won’t cause any harm. It’s just an illusion, and it will only last for a short while."

If it was an illusion, that was no problem. Kano was very confident; currently, in the Ninja World, the only thing stronger than her in terms of illusions was the Mangekyo Sharingan, and pure illusions wouldn’t cause any substantial harm anyway.

"Alright then, go ahead. We have a deal: after this ends, regardless of who wins or loses, you have to honestly work for me like a beast of burden."

"Mm, I, Uchiha Obito, keep my word!"

Obito took out a crystal ball. Her only remaining Sharingan spun rapidly, and blood flowed from her eye in a steady stream. Even with the support of Hashirama cells, her eyesight had actually begun to deteriorate.

The crimson color of the Sharingan gradually emerged on the crystal ball as well.

"I had originally intended to name this move ’Limited Reading,’ a Genjutsu created based on the Infinite Tsukuyomi. But now, without the support of a Tailed Beast, I had to find another way.

So I imitated your illusion. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to play any musical instruments, so I had to use the Sharingan as a substitute. This actually compensates for the limitation where this technique could only be released at night by relying on the moon.

Therefore, I now name this move: Sharingan Genjutsu • Limited Gentle Land of Falling! You only need to defeat me in the illusion world to break it..."

In an instant, the illusion’s effect was activated.

Kano and Naruko stared intently at Obito. After a long while, they realized... nothing had changed.

"Can you see any changes?" "No."

Kano couldn’t count on Naruko; after all, Kano was essentially Naruko’s external brain. She carefully observed the surroundings; there was almost no change, which was different from her own Gentle Land of Falling.

The Gentle Land of Falling makes it very clear that it is an illusion; it just makes people not want to leave, and the changes in the surrounding environment are usually quite obvious.

Let’s ask Kakashi-sensei.

Kano turned her head, wanting to ask Kakashi, who had been sitting on the picnic blanket eating with Naruko just a moment ago, what he thought.

But when she turned around, there was nothing there.

"Where is my picnic blanket!"

"Kano-chan, shouldn’t the main point be Kakashi-sensei?"

"It doesn’t matter what happens to Kakashi; that picnic blanket of mine was a limited edition. Both the material and the pattern were my favorites."

"Uh, is Kakashi-sensei not even as important as a piece of cloth?"

Kano whipped her head around, intending to ask Obito what was going on. Then, Obito also... disappeared.

"So, are we inside the illusion? Kano-chan, please don’t disappear!"

"I won’t disappear, don’t worry."

Kano comforted Naruko, taking the opportunity to pinch her little cheek. How could Naruko be so cute? (Being continuously charmed...)

"The people around us are gone too; there were so many villagers watching the battle just a moment ago."

She hadn’t used the Hunting Horn to play the Requiem earlier precisely because she was afraid of accidentally hurting the villagers; otherwise, Obito wouldn’t have had any chance to admit defeat.

"Since we are in an illusion, let’s walk around. As long as we find Obito and beat her up, we can break the illusion."

Kano tried to forcibly dispel the illusion, and sure enough... the Mangekyo Sharingan illusion was something she couldn’t break through.

Kano wasn’t very good at finding people, especially someone like Obito. If she wanted to hide, Kano definitely wouldn’t be able to find her. Compared to finding people, Kano was better at making others appear on their own.

"Let’s just go home and rest first; we’ll look again tomorrow. I’m tired after fighting for so long today."

Kano decided to go home first; when in doubt, take a nap. Besides, there was no need to be so anxious; she would just treat it as giving herself a break.

"Mm, I’ll take you back."

Naruko patted her chest. Letting a girl walk alone in an unfamiliar place was a big taboo, and Naruko felt full of boyfriend energy right now.

However, in this illusion world, "home" might be an unfamiliar environment. Naruko hadn’t thought of that, and Kano hadn’t reminded her.

Just like that, the two little girls sat on the Shadow Deer, holding hands, and headed back.

When they returned to the road in front of their home, they happened to run into Shikamaru, who was returning from a mission. Shikamaru had a thin cigarette dangling from his mouth, smoking as he walked.

Kano rode the Shadow Deer to his side and slapped him right on the back of the head, almost knocking the cigarette out of his mouth.

"Not learning anything good, are you? Learning to smoke from Asuma, are you? Do you know that smoking is harmful to your health! When we get back, I’ll have Mom break your legs!"

"Who the hell are you, minding your own..." Shikamaru raised his head, wanting to curse, but then he froze, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground. "Younger Sister? You’re still alive?"

"Why are you talking like I’m dead!"

Kano stepped on Shikamaru’s face in annoyance. This made Naruko, who was watching from the side, envious.

"My mistake, my mistake! It’s great that you’re back! Hurry home and let Mom see you. You haven’t changed much over these past two years."

Kano was not a fool; she naturally understood the implication in Shikamaru’s words. Could it be that in this world, I died two years ago?

"Brother, wait a second. Can you tell me what has happened in Konoha over these past two years first?"

"Whatever happened, we’ll talk about it when we get home. Is that person behind you your friend?"

"Long time no see, Shikamaru. You might not recognize me because I’ve changed like this. I am Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto, but now I’m called Naruko."

"You are Naruto?! This change is way too big!"

Shikamaru walked over and patted Naruko on the shoulder.

"No matter what you become, you are still my, Shikamaru’s, best brother! Thank you for bringing my Younger Sister back! In the future, when you become Hokage, I’ll be the first to support you!"

"Oh, thank you, Shikamaru!"

Although Naruko didn’t understand what he meant earlier, she was very happy to hear that Shikamaru supported her in becoming Hokage.

As the three were talking, they had already arrived in front of the Nara Clan home.

"Naruko, you should head back early too; your aunt and uncle are waiting anxiously."

"Oh, then... I’ll go home first. Goodbye, Kano-chan!"

Naruko left just like that, but Kano grabbed Shikamaru.

"Brother, before we go inside, let’s exchange some information about the last two years."
