Chapter 34: Chapter 34 - Ryujin Jakka
The match between Anko and Itachi ended in total victory for the latter. However, Anko did not want to accept this, freeing herself, she immediately rushed towards Itachi, wanting to beat him.
Facing the surprise attack, Itachi did not panic, activating his Sharingan again, Itachi folded a hand seal with his right hand in front of his chest.
"Ephemerality," Itachi muttered softly.
Ephemerality is a technique that allows Itachi to place an opponent in a genjutsu using his finger as a medium. This is what causes the genjutsu itself. In the original story, when this technique was used on Naruto, flocks of crows came from Itachi and turned into shuriken after he made the goat seal and bombarded Naruto, and then he tried to put the latter to sleep. When Naruto resisted the order to sleep, he then experiences a feeling that parts of his body turn into close friends who begin to torture him psychologically. This is implied to be an extra stage of genjutsu caused by Itachi after the goat's seal was formed. The same applies to the use of shurikens.
Simply put, an illusion created using this technique can be both a good memory and a terrifying nightmare.
In Yusuke and Kyoka eyes, Anko, who was running at full speed towards Itachi, stopped and just stood there. On the other hand, Anko, not realizing that she had fallen into an illusion, ended up hanging on a branch again.
"What's going on, haven't I gotten out of this trap?" Anko was stunned and completely bewildered.
At this time, Kyōka noticed that Anko had been hit by a genjutsu and quickly folded her hand seal, "Unwind!" As soon as her voice faded, Anko returned to reality.
Upon regaining consciousness, Anko immediately realized what had happened. Embarrassed by two consecutive losses, Anko decided not to continue.
With a red face, she snickered and said, "You have some skills, but next time, I will definitely win!"
Itachi nodded to her and looked at Kyoka, "Kyouka-san, you're really good at genjutsu, I can't believe you managed to dispel my illusion so quickly."
Itachi was very confident in his illusion, and in his opinion, only a Jonin-level genjutsu specialist should be able to dispel it. And yet, this girl was able to do it without any problems.
Kyōka, still stuttering, quickly replied, "I-I only know some genjutsu techniques, m-I have a weak body and weak ninjutsu techniques, so in the future, I will rely on you!"
After sparring, each of them had a general idea of each other's strengths and weaknesses. Yusuke then gave them some training advice and had several fights teaching them teamwork before letting them go.
Since they were going to Hidden Sand Village the day after tomorrow, Yusuke didn't want his team to be in a bad state, so he decided to give them a rest day.
After returning home, Yusuke began to prepare. On this trip, he had his own goals. After battling Shisui, Yusuke realized that the amount of Yin chakra greatly affected his strength, so he came up with the idea to gather all the Yin parts of the other tailed beasts.
This mission was his chance to make contact with the One-Tail - Shukaku. After the death of the first Kazekage, the village of Hidden Sand could not find a worthy vessel for him. Each time, the new jinchuuriki killed themselves or went insane due to Shukaku's antics. This continued until a monk named Bunpuku became his vessel.
Bunpuku was a kind and wise man, albeit shunned by everyone due to the Bijuu within him. despite the anger inside Shukaku, he considered him his friend, not trying to offend him with his words. The people of Hidden Sand Village feared and despised Bunpuku, so he was kept in the dungeon under strict supervision.
In fact, the residents considered him to be an incarnation of Shukaku himself and even forgot his real name. One day, the Biju asked him if he was getting sad from all this human hatred and only he, Shukaku himself, was the only creature with whom he could talk, and even then he still hated him. The monk noted that he would die if Tailed was removed from his body, as he is a jinchuriki. Shukaku told Bunpuku that he reminded him a bit of the Sage of the Six Paths, which made the old monk tear up, as he said it was the nicest thing he had ever heard from his Bijuu.
Although Shukaku's Yin chakra is much less than Kurama's, it doesn't make him worse. As said, the power of tailed beasts is unique. And each of them is strong in their own way, for example Shukaku becomes incredibly strong in his environment. Like in the desert, maybe even Kurama wouldn't be his opponent. The same can be said about Isobu (three-tailed), on land, Shukaku will quickly defeat him, but as soon as he is in the sea, the sand raccoon will be beaten by him like a small child.
Shukaku's power also shows us how powerful Gaara's father really was, who was able to capture and seal him into his own son. In terms of sheer strength, Rasa is not far behind its predecessor the Third Kazekage, known as the strongest Kazekage. Although in the original story, he was easily killed by Orochimaru, the Sannin was only able to do so through subterfuge and rubbing his trust.
After preparing the scrolls required for various sealing techniques, Yusuke activated his Sharingan and entered his spirit world. Yusuke could not stay in his spiritual world for a long time, the chakra in his body was quickly depleted, and therefore, he needed to do what he came here for as quickly as possible.
After entering the spirit world, Yusuke looked around. The Zanpakutō – Ryujin Jakka was still hovering between heaven and earth, and in the sky above it, a giant sharigan slowly rotated. Yuusuke looked around for someone once more when he finally found him. However, Yuusuke was puzzled when he saw Kurama's appearance.
Little Kurama had grown a little and was a little bigger than before, but now he was lying motionless with a broken nose.
"Hmm, what happened to him?" Yuusuke thought to himself.
Suddenly, Kurama noticed Yuusuke and as soon as this happened, he jumped up and shouted with horror in his eyes: "Don't come near! I know that I was wrong, I understood everything !!!
Yusuke stared at him in surprise, not understanding what was happening: "Calm down, what happened, why are you covered in bruises and beatings?"
"What does it mean? After all, this is the culprit! Please let me go!"
Looking at the trembling Kyuubi, Yuusuke was completely confused, not understanding how he could scare the tailed beast so much.
"Tell me what's going on or I'll let you experience it again!" Yuusuke said in a stern voice. Although he wasn't sure what exactly was going on, Yuusuke had no choice but to resort to threats to find out the truth.
Hearing Yuusuke's threat, Kurama immediately trembled and told everything. But while he was talking, in his mind, Kurama had already identified Yuusuke as a complete pervert. How else, he was first beaten half to death, and then forced to retell everything, this is outrageous!
After listening to Kurama's story, Yusuke frowned slightly and thought. According to the Nine-Tails, not long ago, he came to the spirit world and beat him up badly for contradicting him. It was unbelievable that he beat Kurama without getting hurt himself.
Yusuke suddenly shifted his gaze to the Zanpakutō and called out, "Ryujin Jakka, was that you?" As soon as Yuusuke asked his question, a figure appeared in the blazing flame. Although the figure had not yet left the flames, his gaze pierced like sharp blades.
Covered in a stern and commanding gaze, Yuusuke felt his breath stop as if he was facing an invincible opponent.
"It's him, it's him! Feeling the gaze, Kurama immediately stepped back, screaming in horror. "No wonder I felt a completely different aura from you, your eyes, they are different!!"
As soon as Kurama's voice subsided, the figure completely emerged from the flames, and it was a person who, like two peas in a pod, looked like Yuusuke. Everything, clothes, height, hairstyle, everything was the same, except for the eyes.
If Yuusuke's black eyes were like a calm lake, then the eyes of the other side were like two miniature suns and furious and domineering.
"Yes, that was me!" Ryujin Jakka replied slowly and casually. Moreover, such a strong pressure emanated from him that it was even difficult for Yusuke to speak.
"Is this spiritual pressure?" Yuusuke asked with difficulty.
(note - Reiatsu - ([reiatsu]) is the physical force/pressure generated by a person's spiritual energy when it is released. Most Shinigami, Arrancar, and even Quincy and Bounts are able to control the pressure of their souls.)
"Hmm, I wonder if you still have the strength to speak, not bad. However, right now you are still very far from the level for me to recognize you!" Ryujin Jakka replied in the same authoritative voice, but immediately after the answer, he removed his spiritual pressure.
Hearing Ryujin Jakki's words, Yusuke frowned slightly. He also knew that he was not capable of using the power of Ryujin Jakki at will, but no matter how he searched, he could not find a worthy solution.
Of course, he came up with the idea of using the Yin chakra of the tailed beast to feed Ryujin Jakku, but after the fight with Shisui, a suspicion crept into Yuusuke's heart that this was not the right way.
"Zanpakutō wielders are known as Shinigami. In battle, Shinigami rely on their spiritual power. As long as a person's spiritual power is strong enough, not to mention the power of my flame, any other move will be extremely strong!" - while Ryujin Jakka spoke, two identical katanas appeared in his hand, one of which he threw to Yuusuke.
"Get ready!" Ryujin Jakka warned. Assuming that his opponent is going to spar with him in order to teach him the technique of using his zanpakuto. Yuusuke became serious, preparing to repel any attacks.
Ryujin Jakka, holding the scabbard with his left hand, grabbed the hilt with his right hand and assumed a fighting stance, bending slightly forward. Suddenly, the light in his eyes flared brightly, and in the next moment, the sword in his hand was sheathed back at an incredible speed.
Yuusuke felt only a flash of light before his eyes and only had time to raise his sword, wanting to block the blow. By this time, Ryujin Jakka had already sheathed his sword and was standing behind Yuusuke.
With a clang, the blade of the sword in Yuusuke's hand broke into two pieces, and the upper part fell to the ground. Yusuke stared blankly at the broken sword in his hand, analyzing the instantaneous exchange of blows that had just happened.
"Is this all due to spiritual pressure? I felt a sharp spiritual pressure on your blade, it seemed to me impossible to resist!" Yuusuke asked turning to Ryujin Jakka.
"That's right, that's the difference between my spiritual pressure and yours. Although you use the soul power of the tailed beasts of this world to feed me, it is still an external power. This is just a little dope, even if you collect hundreds or thousands of tailed beasts, the quality and strength of your soul will not change! Remember, if the quality of your soul is raised to a certain degree, you can suppress or even destroy the soul of your enemy using only spiritual pressure!" Ryujin Jakka explained slowly, speaking in the same stern and commanding voice.
"Then how can I improve the quality of my soul?" Yuusuke asked.
