47.34% Reborn in Naruto As Madara's Grandson / Chapter 314: 305. The Demon Within

Capítulo 314: 305. The Demon Within

Swish… swish…

Kanami slashes another pair of vines and frees one of her teammates.

"Things aren't looking good; at this rate, we will run out of chakra and stamina before we could defeat the enemy." She has a grim expression on her face."

Ayaka and Hanabi are fighting against the endless waves of enemies as signs of exhaustion appear on their bodies.

"I am almost out of chakra!"

Hanabi breathes heavily.

"I am down to half!"

Ayaka's back rests against Hanabi's as she actively scans the enemies with her Sharingan.

'It's strange! Very strange! There is no distinction between the movements of the enemies. All of them follow a similar attack pattern. It's almost like they are puppets or something.'

Confusion appears in her eyes as she engages in the battle.

On the deck of the Cargo ship,

A frown appears on Yakumo's face as she stares at the battle. She places down her brush and attentively stares at the enemy ship.

"Somehow, I feel like something is off here!"

"Oh!"

Izuna notices Yakumo's restlessness.

"Looks like she is the first one to figure out the genjutsu."

He turns towards the thick mist surrounding the group.

"This mist is the source of this genjutsu. There is a strange chakra flowing through this mist, which disrupts the chakra of the victim.

Normally, a genjutsu disrupts the flow of chakra in the target's cerebral nervous system. Or to be precise, it affects the prosencephalon structure of the brain. This particular part of the brain is responsible for the sensory organs of the body.

The sensory organs will function normally and send proper feedback to the brain. But the genjutsu will alter the information perceived by the brain, thus altering the perception of the brain. However, the genjutsu cast by this crab is different."

Izuna activates his Mangekyo Sharingan and stares at the thick fog. Various tiny purple particles are present in the fog.

"These particles invade the body through the olfactory system and disrupt the chakra of the sensory organ rather than the brain. As a result, the sensory organs will send false feedback to the brain.

Since it affects the sensory organs directly, such a genjutsu is quite hard to dispel, since the conventional method of disrupting the brain's chakra won't work in this case. On the contrary, it might lead to a further imbalance between mind and body."

Izuna shakes his head as he remembers a certain past incident.

"It's similar to those glaze snow lilies from the Valley of Lies!"

BOOM… BOOM…

The battle continues to rage on as the crew resists the frantic attacks of the giant corpse crabs and his barnacle army.

Grrr… Scree…

The corpse crab screeches in anger. Despite its continuous attacks, it has failed to capture even a single prey.

Grrr…

It releases a dark purple chakra from its body which covers the entire crew. The movements of the entire crew turn sluggish as the toxins in the chakra turn them lethargic.

"What's going on?!"

"Why do I feel so dizzy all of a sudden?"

The crew members grab their forehead as the toxins of the crab slowly poison them. Dark purple chakra rises from their body and enters in a bead on the crab's head.

Hm?!

Izuna frowns as he notices the dark chakra leaking from the crew members with his Sharingan.

"So, this is how dark chakra is extracted from a person. This bead seems to be sort of container."

The corpse crab wildly flails its tentacles around and attacks the crew.

"Watch out, Ayaka!" Hanabi warns Ayaka as one of the tentacles swiftly attacks her.

Ah!

Ayaka shields her eyes with her hands to block the attack.

Swoosh…

"That's enough!"

Izuna appears in front of Ayaka and slices the tentacle.

"Onii-chan!"

Ayaka stares at Izuna's back with relief.

"It's about time to end this farce."

Bzzt…

Black lightning flickers through Izuna's hand.

"Black Lightning: Lightning Spear"

Izuna creates a giant lightning spear in his palm.

BAM…

The black lightning spear skewers through the crab's body, instantly killing it in the process.

The lightning continues to flicker through water and clears the dense fog around them.

The dense fog comprises Yin chakra and the small genjutsu particles. Izuna's black lightning is composed of Yang chakra and lightning, which makes it a powerful counter to the genjutsu.

Fwoosh…

The genjutsu dispels slowly as the thick film of fog vanishes.

AH!

The sailor crew members slowly gain their bearing. They gawk at the giant screen of thick fog slowly fading before their eyes.

"Perhaps you should look beneath your feet!"

Izuna warns them as he picks up Ayaka and Hanabi and flickers towards the cargo ship.

EH!

The group returns to their senses and notices the corpse of a giant corpse crab under their feet.

"What?!"

Dark purple fumes rise from the giant crab's body. The bead on its forehead slowly absorbs the fumes.

Whoosh… whoosh…

The sailor crew hastily jumps on the water and avoids the body of the corpse crab.

"Sensei! So, the ghost ship we were fighting was this giant crab." Hanabi asks in fear.

"Yes!" Izuna nods his head.

"This corpse crab was secretly following our ship in the search of prey. When we were in the middle of the sea, he slowly released the thick fog from its body. This fog slowly encapsulated you all and without even your awareness all of you were trapped in its genjutsu."

Izuna chuckles and ruffles their hairs.

"Still, you did well for a fight of such scale. Yakumo even figured out the genjutsu."

He turns towards Yakumo and praises her.

Hmm…

Yakumo is blankly staring at the giant corpse crab as Izuna's voice startles her.

"Ah! Sensei! I… I…"

"What's the matter? Why were you spacing out all of a sudden?"

"Well! I… How do I say it?"

She points towards the bead on the crab's head.

"Sensei! I didn't know, but for some reason, I can feel a familiar chakra from this bead. But the chakra in this bead is scary."

"Oh!" Izuna raises an eyebrow as he remembers the strange chakra used in Yakumo's mindscape.

'Does that chakra have some connections with this dark chakra?'

Swoosh…

Izuna waves his hand and the beads float towards him.

"Wow!"

Ayaka and Hanabi stare at the bead in amazement.

"Don't touch it! The chakra inside the bead is very evil, it will corrupt your mind."

Izuna warns them.

"Are you sure it feels familiar?"

He turns to Yakumo.

"Yes, Sensei!"

'Interesting!'

"Alright! Let me purify the evil will inside this chakra."

Izuna uses the purifying element of his light release to purify the sinister Will inside the bead.

Fwoosh…

Suddenly, Izuna is dragged into his mindscape.

"Why am I in my mindscape all of a sudden? Did someone attack my mindscape?"

A gigantic serpentine creature with a very long and dark purple body and multiple dragon-based heads appears in his mindscape.

Shiing…

The eyes of the creature glow with a red hue.

Swish…

It swipes its gigantic claws at Izuna's mindscape in an attempt to destroy his mind.

Swoosh… swoosh…

The elemental orbs around rapidly shoot in front of him and form a barrier.

Clang…

The claws land on the barrier, but the barrier absorbs the attack.

Fwish…

The counterforce from the barrier disperses the claw and turns it into smoke.

ROAR…

The giant serpentine creature roars in fury. Its eyes blazed in anger.

"You dare overstep your mortal authority and challenge a God?!"

Hmph…

Izuna scoffs and waves his hand as the light orb shoots towards the giant serpentine figure.

"Just a small fading consciousness and you proclaim yourself a God!"

BOOM…

The light orb slams into the giant serpentine creature.

Crack… crack…

The figure shatters into countless fragments and turns into a wisp of smoke.

Swoosh…

The darkness orb floats in front of Izuna and absorbs the wisp of smoke.

Fwoosh…

Izuna exits his mindscape.

"Here!"

He passes the bead to Yakumo and curiously stares at her.

'The presence of that consciousness points towards the involvement of demons. But Yakumo can sense a feeling of familiarity with this object. Does she have some connections with the demons or does her bloodline originate from a demon?'

Izuna speculates various possibilities as Yakumo carefully grabs the orb.

Swoosh…

Dark purple chakra rises from the orb and slowly shrouds Yakumo.

Hmm…

Swish… swish…

Izuna makes some hand signs and covers Yakumo's body in an illusion to hide the process from others.

'I am afraid, others might fear her for her sinister power. I don't want people to isolate her again.'

AHHHH…

Yakumo screams in pain as the dark purple chakra enters her body through her mouth.

Hm?!

Izuna frowns at the process.

'She isn't absorbing the chakra as we do with Nature energy and normal chakra. She is directly eating the chakra.'

The dark chakra travels through her entire body. Izuna spectates the entire process with his Mangekyo Sharingan. It slowly circulates through her chakra system and then enters her brain.

The dark chakra slowly enters her mindscape. A demonic being with horns and sharp, long canines slowly walks out of the darkness within Yakumo's mind.

Shoosh…

The demonic being opens its mouth and consumes the entire dark purple chakra.

It slowly turns around to return to the darkness.

"Hold on a minute!"


Capítulo 315: 306. Inner Demon Ido

"Hold on a minute!"

Izuna's voice echoes in Yakumo's mindscape.

Huh?!

The demonic figure pauses and slowly turns around. It blankly stares at Izuna's figure with its beady eyes.

"Who are you?! What are you doing in this girl's mindscape?"

Izuna draws his cyan blade and points it towards the demonic figure.

Swoosh…

The demonic figure waves its hand as a giant painting appears in front of her.

Swish… swish…

The figure rapidly makes some strokes with her brush.

Fwoosh…

The surroundings change instantly. A giant purgatory of lava and flames appears around them as the demonic figure floats on a pedestal.

Burble… burble…

Bubbles of hot air rise from the lava and form a gigantic wave.

Swoosh…

The gigantic wave comes crashing down on Izuna and submerges him.

"That's some fancy trick you have got there!"

Izuna slowly walks out unscathed from the pool of flames.

Whoosh…

He waves his hand and throws a light senbon at the painting.

Crackle… crackle…

The senbon pierces the corner of the painting and lights it on fire.

Ah!

The demonic figure flinches at the fire and hastily throws the painting away.

The painting turns into ashes and leaves a small wisp of dark purple chakra behind.

Swoosh…

Izuna stretches his hand and draws the wisp of dark purple chakra towards himself.

"Hmm… A Genjutsu using the dark chakra!"

Fwoosh…

Izuna flicks his finger and dispels the dark purple chakra.

The eyes of the demonic figure narrow at this. The figure immediately summons another painting scroll and scribbles on it.

Swish… swish…

The demonic figure's brush strokes move swiftly and it creates another painting.

Shoom…

Suddenly, the surroundings change again.

Woosh… woosh…

Icy wind blows, and snow slowly falls on the ground. A bone-chilling gust of wind envelops Izuna and encases him in ice.

Swish…

The demonic figure makes a few more brush strokes and many sharp snow lances pierce through the snow encased Izuna.

The demonic figure calmly puts down its brush and prepares to roll the scroll.

Crackle… crackle…

The painting catches fire, and a small burning hole appears near Izuna's drawing. The demonic figure warily turns towards the ice-encased Izuna.

Crack… crack…

Numerous cracks appear on the ice casing.

BAM…

Izuna stretches out his fist and shatters the ice.

"Is this all you have got?"

He raises his head and stares into the eyes of the demonic figure.

A trace of fear appears in the eyes of the demonic figure. It narrows its eyes and flicks its hand.

Whoosh…

A gigantic painting scroll appears in front of it.

Swish… swish…

The demonic figure makes some quick strokes directly with its nail instead of a brush.

Rumble… rumble…

The surrounding trembles slightly, the vast expense of darkness shrouds Izuna, isolating him from the rest of the world.

Bzzt…

Dark purple flames rise in the domain of darkness and form a giant circular ring around Izuna.

BAM… BAM….

Multiple gigantic Tori gates fall from the sky and form a formation around the circular flames.

The flames morph into a gigantic demonic figure and brandish its claws and slam them at Izuna.

Oh!

Izuna raises an eyebrow.

'A reality illusion of Yomi-no-Kuni, the world of darkness or the gateway to the netherworld, to be precise. A polluted land where the gloomy and shadowy existence coagulated from the sins and filth of mortal resides.'

BOOM…

The giant palm of the demonic figure slaps down on Izuna, engulfing his entire body in the process.

The fiery figure of the demon smirks as it stares at the ground beneath its palm.

"Too bad! This is not the real thing. Also, you are not an adjudicator of death."

Rumble…

A beam of golden light rises from the ground and pierces through the fiery purple figure, dispelling it in the process.

Rumble… rumble…

The entire illusory realm trembles.

Crack… crack…

Countless cracks spread through the domain, and it crumbles apart, revealing the mindscape of Yakumo.

"NO! Don't come near me. Leave me alone!"

The demonic figure releases a shrill cry. It hugs its body and shivers in a corner.

Various paintings around the figure are set ablaze with flames. They turn into a small wisp of dark purple chakra and float around the demonic figure.

Izuna takes a step forward and slowly approaches the demonic figure.

"NO! Leave me alone! NO!"

The demonic figure's voice turns feminine as a familiar voice falls in Izuna's ears.

"Yakumo?!"

Izuna's eyes widen in surprise as he blankly stares at the demonic figure for a while.

He approaches the demonic figure and gets on his knees in front of the figure.

"Are you the inner-self of Yakumo?'

Izuna has an incredulous expression on his face as he questions the demon.

Every being, be it an animal or a human, has two aspects. The first aspect is his outer self; his body, which is present in the real world.

The second aspect of a person is his inner self; his spiritual form which is present in the mindscape of a person. The inner self is a reflection of the true form of a person.

A person can alter his outer appearance and looks, but one can't alter their inner self. The inner self is the inherent aspect of a being. It represents their form, personality, character, ambition, and spirituality.

Then there is also a hidden aspect. The aspect of the soul. It's such a complex aspect that not many have been able to delve deeper into it.

Izuna shakes his head as he recalls some of the information he found in the record alongside the sin of lust.

The demonic figure shivers in fear as it hugs its body.

Izuna looks at the pathetic condition of the figure and slowly extends his hand. He pats her head.

"Don't worry! Your Sensei is here."

The demonic figure slowly raises her head and stares at Izuna with beady eyes. Izuna has a warm smile on his face as he waves at the figure.

"Ido! My name is Ido!"

The demon wipes her tears and kneels in front of Izuna.

"I… I… I am sorry, Sensei! I didn't mean to harm you!"

It apologizes to Izuna.

"Oh!"

Izuna is surprised to see her reaction.

"I could have forgiven you if you weren't so hell-bent on wiping me from his existence." He has a serious expression on his face.

"No! No! Sensei! It wasn't my intention. I just don't want you to see my inner self. So, I tried to expel you from my mindscape." Ido has a flustered expression.

Haha…

Izuna chuckles and shakes his head. He pats her head and remarks.

"You are a hundred years too early to even think about facing me."

Shiing…

Izuna's eyes change into Mangekyo Sharingan.

Fwoosh…

The surrounding scenery changes rapidly. Both of them appear in a giant vast patch of grassland. There is a small table with two chairs and a teapot in front of them.

Izuna calmly sits on the table and gestures for Ido to sit. He pours a cup of tea and sips on it.

"The honey tea from the land of Honey is still my favorite." He pours a cup for Ido to calm her down.

"I… I…"

Ido has a flustered look on her face as the sudden change in her mindscape transfixes her.

"Have a cup of tea to calm your nerves." Izuna offers her a cup.

"Y… Yes!"

Ido grabs the cup and sips from it.

"So good!" She meekly closes her eyes and relaxes.

"Alright! Seems like you have relaxed a little. Now tell me about your origin and all of the shenanigans that you did?"

Izuna crosses his arms and stares at her.

"I… I…" Ido bites her lips and hesitates.

"Don't worry about anything. Just speak up! I will take care of the rest." Izuna assures her.

"Sensei! I am the inner self of Yakumo. But… but she hates me. She despises me for my appearance; much to the point that I have become the darkness of her heart. Sensei! I don't know why, but I was born this way.

Yakumo first came to know about me when she was four years old. Back then, she lost control of her powers and set her own house on fire. She immolated our house on fire. Our parents dived into the fire to save us but the flames consumed them."

A tear drops slides down from Ido's face.

Sniff…

She wipes her tears and continues.

"Heart-broken by the loss of our parents, Yakumo fell in deep grief. When she woke up, she was already in her mindscape. There she met me, Ido. I told her that I was her true inner-self.

But Yakumo was terrified of my appearance. She judged me as being responsible for the death of her parents. Thus, she despised my existence and locked away her heart.

This rejection and hatred from my outer self-created an imbalance in our bodies. This is the part of the reason, Yakumo's body is so weak despite her being a shinobi."

Ido recounts her story to Izuna. She turns to Izuna and performs a dogeza.

"Sensei! Please help us or I am afraid Yakumo won't live long with the imbalance between her physical and spiritual self!"

Ido pleads to Izuna.
