"Is this the power of the Nine-Tails? If such power were to erupt within Kumogakure Village..." Raikage watched the distant mountains being blasted away, his expression growing increasingly grim.
In fact, the key issue isn't the strength of the attack, but rather, Naruto's ability to strike from a great distance, capable of hitting targets tens of kilometers away. This means that Naruto doesn't need to go berserk within Kumogakure Village; he can prepare and unleash his power from afar, devastating Kumogakure Village with a long-range attack.
There's no way to defend against this move!
Moreover, with Naruto's ability to use the Flying Thunder God technique, he could suddenly appear tens of kilometers outside Kumogakure Village, charge up his attack, and cause massive destruction in a short amount of time. After striking, he could immediately escape, and no one can limit the instantaneous speed of the Flying Thunder God technique.
However, for now, it's a relief that Naruto is merely deterring them and hasn't launched a substantial attack. As long as some concessions are made, Kumogakure Village shouldn't have to worry about the worst-case scenario.
But...
If Konohagakure continues to erode Kumogakure Village's economic and military strength by leveraging this advantage, the demise of Kumogakure Village is inevitable. It's just a matter of lingering on for a while longer, dying not so suddenly.
The outcome remains unchanged; it's a tragedy.
"Bee, I have a very dangerous and crucial mission for you, one that might lead to death, but you have the right to refuse this mission..." Raikage said, looking solemnly at Killer Bee.
"Big brother, what mission?"
Killer Bee asked seriously.
"You will serve as an envoy of Kumogakure Village, making a proactive visit to Konohagakure," Raikage continued.
Naruto's presence is too terrifying. Even if Killer Bee stays in the village, he can't prevent Naruto from causing destruction. It might be better to send Killer Bee to Konohagakure, creating a standoff where my nuclear weapon is also in your home.
Of course, this is a risky move. The people of Konohagakure could potentially subdue Killer Bee and then forcibly capture the Eight-Tails. However, they would have to bear the consequences of the Eight-Tails going berserk in Konohagakure, so they would be wary to some extent.
But all things considered, this is still an extremely dangerous mission, and it's not guaranteed to yield positive results. That's why Raikage merely mentioned it, allowing Killer Bee the option to refuse.
It's not a good solution, but the problem is that Kumogakure Village has no other options left; they are out of moves.
"I'm willing to accept."
Killer Bee answered without hesitation.
He was well aware that Kumogakure Village's actions could only be seen as a symbolic resistance. Whether it would be effective was uncertain. If Naruto caught him and used the Flying Thunder God technique to escape, he wouldn't even have the chance to go berserk in Konohagakure.
This is still under the assumption that we're only considering Naruto...
Inside Konohagakure, there might be even more powerful individuals. There's actually a lot more he needs to consider. Uchiha Sasuke, I heard, has also activated his Mangekyou Sharingan. Although he and the Eight-Tails are perfect Jinchuriki, theoretically speaking, they shouldn't fear the Mangekyou Sharingan's Genjutsu and should be immune.
But... that's only in theory!
As long as one uses the Eye technique to control the Tailed Beast directly through the seal, and then separately control the Jinchuriki, the Jinchuriki and the Tailed Beast won't be able to awaken each other, thus they can't be immune to Ninjutsu. And this is the fundamental reason why Yagura, as a perfect Jinchuriki, was still controlled by Obito for years.
The Jinchuriki and the Tailed Beast need to communicate and exchange chakra to awaken each other and become immune to the Sharingan Genjutsu. But in reality, it's pretty much useless. It only works against those who are weak in Genjutsu and like to play around.
If faced with a Genjutsu like Tsukuyomi, this kind of awakening is a joke. No matter how long one experiences inside Tsukuyomi, it's just an instant in reality. The Tailed Beast won't have enough time to awaken and dispel the control, and the damage from Tsukuyomi would have already been done. Awakening is completely useless.
Besides Tsukuyomi, Kotoamatsukami can directly rewrite the will of the person under the technique. This kind of awakening is also useless. If it's more covert, the Tailed Beast might not even realize that the Jinchuriki has been controlled.
Shisui, Itachi, Obito...
As owners of the Mangekyou Sharingan, these three actually don't fear the Genjutsu resistance of a perfect Jinchuriki. They all have their own ways to deal with it. Only a certain pillar would be beaten up by this seemingly powerful but actually useless Genjutsu control.
...
"Done, that's a wrap."
Naruto soared in mid-air, looking at the panicked people fleeing from Kumogakure Village, a faint smile appeared on his face as he flew back to Konohagakure.
There's no point in staying. Better to just go home, let these people guess where he might go, then exhaust themselves investigating, only to find out he's already home, hilarious!
They'll think it's the Flying Thunder God Technique, and their fear of Konohagakure will deepen because they have no idea when Naruto might whimsically fire a shot in Kumogakure Village.
...
On the other hand, adult Sasuke took a brief walk around Konohagakure, got a rough idea about this world, and felt his head buzzing.
Why have I already activated the Mangekyou Sharingan at this time? And I'm going head-to-head with Susano'o and Gaara's mother, Zabuza? And even the cleaning soldiers have Susanoo ready?
Do I have that much chakra to use? Won't using Susano'o like this blind me?
Is this really me? Is it?
This world's Naruto is even more outrageous, a perfect Jinchuriki plus the Flying Thunder God, this setup might be a hundred times stronger than the original Naruto!
In the neighboring world, Naruto at sixteen could only confront Six Paths Pain, protecting Konohagakure with his Talk no Jutsu, but here he directly clashes with Super Shinra Tensei, and then runs off Six Paths Pain head-on? Isn't this strength even more fierce than sixteen-year-old Naruto? It feels like it's almost catching up with the Jonin-level battle of the Golden Flash.
And what's with Hinata? Wasn't she supposed to be beaten to near death? How come here she's the one who knocked Neji down.
What on earth is going on with this world!
Is this the world of the Naruto?
*Sigh.*
Although Sasuke's heart was racing, he was still very worried about Naruto. Even the future Naruto, combined with his own strength, would find it difficult to confront the Otsutsuki clan. The young Naruto, no matter how strong, shouldn't be strong enough to beat the Otsutsuki clan to a pulp.
It shouldn't be... right?
Anyway, no matter what, it's best to find Naruto first, then tell him in advance about the arrival of Otsutsuki Urashiki, to prevent him from being lured away by Otsutsuki Urashiki for his chakra.
That guy's abilities are quite tricky!
With this thought in mind, Sasuke rushed from Konohagakure to Kumogakure Village at top speed, hoping to find Naruto before Otsutsuki Urashiki and secretly protect him.
Then...
"Are you... Sasuke's clone?"
Naruto suddenly appeared in front of Sasuke, touching his chin with one hand and carefully examining the adult Sasuke.
"When did this happen?"
Sasuke was shocked, his eyes widened as he looked at Naruto, who had suddenly appeared beside him, and he began to sense that something was amiss.
This world's Naruto seems really strong!
