Chapter 410: The Illusion Shatters

Chapter 410: The Illusion Shatters

Argh

Tsunade grabs her forehead and slowly opens her eyes.

"Where am I? My head" she groans in pain.

"Tsunade-san! Are are you are you alright?" Mei inquires.

"Augh I am fine. But my head hurts and my memories are jumbled up." Mei helps Tsunade sit up.

"Where are we?" Tsunade slowly looks around and notices the creepy atmosphere and waning red moon.

"We are currently trapped in an isolated dimension. Currently, we both have escaped from illusions thanks to Ayaka's help. Ayaka can freely enter and exit this space. Once everyone is here, she will help us shatter this dimension." Mei explains the details to Tsunade.

She points towards the various projections of the illusory realities of other people.

"I I see!" Tsunade grips her forehead.

"Let's wait for others," Mei suggests.

Mm

Silence descends in the surroundings for a while.

"Did you see it?" Tsunade mutters weakly. NewW novels updates at novelhall.com

"Huh?!" Mei turns to Tsunade.

"I mean did you see my illusory reality?" Tsunade asks again.

"Well I"

"So, you did see it. Sigh" Tsunade sighs helplessly.

"I saw it." Mei nods her head.

"So, your feelings for Izuna. Are they" Mei is about to ask further.

Whoosh

Suddenly, Sasuke appears in front of them with Ayaka. He looks around and notices the red waning moon.

"So, my guess was right. I was trapped inside an illusory reality and this is an isolated space of that illusion." Sasuke scrutinizes the place with his Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Sasuke Nii-san, I will save others." Ayaka bade him farewell and jumps into another projection.

"Sigh Let's talk about it later. I think both of us have some sort of misunderstanding." Tsunade shakes her head.

Wiggle wiggle

A small Katsuyu clone pops out of her clothes.

"Tsunade-sama! This place is scary." The small Katsuyu clone shiver in fright.

"It's alright! We will soon escape from this place." Tsunade strokes the little slug.

"Katsuyu always sends her clones or to be exact her offspring with him. This little one is one of them." Tsunade explains to Mei.

"Then how does she recognize everyone?" Mei asks in curiosity.

"All Katsuyu clones share a hive mind. So, it's not difficult for them to share information. She was also caught in the illusion with me."

Tsunade appeases the little Katsuyu clone.

A few minutes later,

"Looks like everyone is here!" A haggard Ayaka looks around.

"It was all thanks to little Ayaka's effort that we were able to easily escape from this illusion." Minato smiles at Ayaka.

"Ayaka-chan, are you alright?" Tsunade stares at Ayaka's exhausted face.

"I I am alright! I just overexerted my chakra a little. I will be fine after a little rest." Ayaka shakes her head.

Multiple cracks appear in the surrounding space. The cracks start from the red moon and spread across the entire isolated dimension.

Bang

With a loud bang, the entire space shatters into countless fragments like a glass crystal.

Huff Huff

The group pants and falls to their knees from exhaustion.

"Ayaka!"

Ayaka's figure appears in their vision.

"Ever everyone!" Ayaka's vision turns blurry, and she falls to the ground.

Whoosh

Naruto and Sasuke swiftly appear beside her and catches her in their arms.

"She endured a lot. The built-up physical fatigue and mental exhaustion must have taken a toll on her." Katsuyu wraps herself around Ayaka and infuses some nature energy into her body to rejuvenate her.

"Tch" Kakashi, Ao, and Izumi click their tongue.

"It was a well-thought-out plan. We didn't expect them to possess such a powerful restraining jutsu. If only we had taken precautions earlier"

"It's not your fault." Minato shakes his head.

"Earlier, I sensed the presence of Akatsuki's hidden leader and Kabuto. It must have been their handiwork. Looks like they still haven't given up on the Nine-tails."

Everyone turns to Naruto.

"Ehe why do I feel that everyone wants a piece of me lately?" Naruto scratches his head.

"Everything is fine, as long as everyone is unharmed. However, this attack also opened our eyes to the full extent of our opponent's power. Imagine if Akatsuki used such a powerful jutsu to restrain every shinobi on the battlefield.

At that time, we will headless chickens on their chopping board." Minato stares at the corpses of the multiple rogue shinobis. He notices the crazed expression of the shinobis.

Gulp

Everyone gulps their saliva and heaves a sigh of relief after a close encounter with disaster.

"This is a lesson for you all. No matter the circumstances, don't get complacent. Especially you, Naruto!" Minato focuses his eyes on Naruto.

"Alright, let's leave this place for now. Our ship is still waiting on the shore. We have to leave this place before other ambitious people like them appear." Minato relays his orders.

Mei places a sleeping Ayaka on her shoulder and the group dashes towards the shore.

Swoosh swoosh

A few minutes later, they reach the harbor of the Land of Waterfall.

"Everyone, it's my pleasure to meet you." A giant ship awaits their arrival on the harbor. The captain of the ship greets them with courtesy.

"I was worried about your arrival, since you were quite late from the scheduled time." The captain reports his worries.

"We are fine! Some unexpected circumstances cropped up, but somehow, we were able to make it here." Mei gives a short explanation.

"Also, how are our supplies?"

"We have already stockpiled them and were waiting for your arrival." The captain answers her.

"Then let's set sail for the journey."

"Very well, please get onboard. We will set sail for the Land of Medicine!" The captain signals to sailors to pull the anchor and set sail.

With this, the group begins their sea journey.
