Chapter 354: Ashura's New Mission

"Sasuke! Sasuke?" Naruto came out of the genjutsu and started shouting. Ino waited on the side for his emotions to gradually stabilize.

After knowing that the previous experience was all genjutsu, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Sasuke was fine.

As for Sakura? At this time, his limited brain capacity had already forgotten about Sakura.

"Want to continue?" Ino asked.

Naruto was a little shaken, but he still nodded. "I already know it's a genjutsu. I won't fall for your genjutsu this time. Continue."

In the next second, he found that Sakura was tied up again. Then, this time, Ino added a little something extra. He saw a lecherous-looking Sasuke groping Sakura with his wandering hands, then his beastly nature erupted, and he was about to do something that only adults do.

Naruto: "..."

His blood rushed to his head, and he instantly forgot about the genjutsu, rushing over to save Sakura with a lot of fuss.

Ino watched from the side at her leisure.

Since she wanted to control the Yin Nine-Tails, she naturally wouldn't give up this opportunity to observe and test the Yang Nine-Tails up close.

She hadn't learned that strange "Entering the Marketplace with Helping Hands" and was too lazy to learn it. Whenever Naruto was on the verge of losing control, she would hit him hard with a stick made from Wood Release. If that didn't work, she would use the Wood Dragon Technique to rush over and absorb the Nine-Tails' chakra.

According to Naruto's own words, being entangled by the Wood Dragon Technique was as tiring as being hungry for ten days. Fortunately, with his powerful recovery ability, he could always stand up after lying on the ground for a while.

This training was more tiring than any training he had ever undergone before. His body was tired, and his heart was even more tired!

But thinking that Sasuke had already gone to the front lines in the Land of Rivers, while he could only be a genin in the village… Naruto's heart was in turmoil.

He was very much against the upcoming Great Ninja War, but his opposition was useless, and there were many things he couldn't figure out. He only had a vague idea: maybe if he became stronger, Pervy Sage and Teacher Kakashi would listen to him?

With this simple thought, he gritted his teeth and persisted in his training.

"Sasuke, I'm coming to save you!" Two chakra tails emerged from his back, and then his reason disappeared, his eyes filled with hostility.

Ino immediately formed hand seals. "Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique."

"Sakura-chan, I'm coming to save you! Sasuke, if you have something, come at me!" Three chakra tails emerged from Naruto's back. Not just his eyes, but his whole body was filled with hostility.

Ino sighed secretly. This mission was really troublesome. "Wood Release: Wood Human Technique."

As his body became familiar with the Tailed Beast's chakra, Naruto trained and gradually stabilized the one- and two-tailed stages of the semi-Tailed Beast transformation. But upon entering the three-tailed stage, he immediately went berserk, losing his reason very quickly.

The Forest of Death was very remote. Training Naruto was a secret mission in the village. Ino didn't want Hinata and Naruto to have any more contact now. When Hinata asked her what she had been doing these past few days, she used the excuse of a secret mission. Bringing food? No need, I'm on a diet these two days.

She ate rice balls and pickles for three consecutive days. Naruto, on the other hand, had almost no rest and had been continuously training in the semi-Tailed Beast transformation.

Ino was dedicated to her work. Since she had accepted this mission, she had to do it well.

According to her observations of jinchuriki like Yugito Nii, Rōshi, Han, and Killer B, they all started from maintaining a human form with one Tailed Beast tail emerging from their back, "borrowing the Tailed Beast's chakra," to being on all fours, covered in a Tailed Beast cloak, and dragging a varying number of tails behind them, "semi-Tailed Beast transformation," and finally to maintaining their own consciousness and transforming into the Tailed Beast form, "complete Tailed Beast transformation."

In the original timeline, Naruto's path to becoming a perfect jinchuriki was quite bumpy. He had trained the semi-Tailed Beast transformation halfway, then gave it up and jumped to the "Nine-Tails Chakra Mode." According to Killer B's request, he had a tug-of-war with the Nine-Tails using chakra. Finally, facing immense external pressure, he and Kurama came to a mutual understanding, and only then did he return to the old path of "complete Tailed Beast transformation," which was the "Kurama Mode."

What was the reason for this? Ino was also thinking. She felt it should be because the Nine-Tails itself was incomplete. Could Naruto enter "Kurama Mode" now? Definitely not!

Ino didn't think she could train a super-Kage-level powerhouse in just a few days. You should just practice with the semi-Tailed Beast transformation.

On the fourth day of training, at noon, Naruto was too exhausted. He simply drank a few mouthfuls of water, then, with "the sky as his blanket and the ground as his bed," he fell asleep directly.

Ino called him twice, but there was no response. She put away the sleeping pills she had prepared, formed a hand seal, and once again entered Naruto's spiritual world.

Minato had already taken back the bit of chakra he had sealed in Naruto's body, along with Kushina's chakra.

Ino first went to Ashura's side to complete the second part of the mission and successfully intercepted a part of Ashura's and Indra's chakra.

"If possible, I hope to have a face-to-face talk with my brother," Ashura said with a troubled look.

There was nothing to say about this. Ino accepted the mission.

How to talk? Where to talk? I don't know.

Ino had successfully awakened her Sharingan. She could also be considered a descendant of the Ōtsutsuki clan. Before, she could only guess, but now with the bloodline connection, she could see the existence of Ashura and Indra more clearly than before.

Indra and Ashura's real bodies were already dead; there was no doubt about that.

They had no concept of time, but as long as the bloodlines of the two were still in this world, they could be revived at any time through the chakra in their bloodlines. The principle was similar to Orochimaru's curse mark resurrection, just more advanced. Orochimaru's was a primary version; their kind of resurrection was inferior to the "Karma," but it was also a high-level version second only to the "Karma."

Ino could see it very clearly now. This "letter-delivering mission" was actually a mission rooted in the bloodline! If she couldn't do it, she could let her descendants continue to do it until it was completed.

How can I get the two of them to have a "face-to-face talk"?

Ino couldn't think of a good way for a moment. Would making Sasuke and Naruto duel create an opportunity for this "face-to-face talk"? She felt it was unlikely!

Later, I'll see if I can discuss it with the Shinigami and borrow its big house to host an "underworld summit" for the two of them.

Ashura's matter was not urgent. Ino came to the gate of the Nine-Tails' prison.

She first looked at the seal. There were new sealing marks. If she wasn't mistaken, it must be Minato who had reinforced the seal again.

"It's you? You're actually a member of the Uchiha clan?" Kurama hadn't paid attention at first, but after sensing the chakra on Ino, he immediately looked over with a disgusted expression.

Is a fox's nose also that sensitive? Ino hadn't opened her Sharingan and was surprised to be discovered.

Ino would explain a few things to Indra, but there was nothing to explain to the Nine-Tails.

She went straight for it!

"Ninpō: Mind Body Disturbance Technique!"

You're hostile to me? It's fine, I can force you to be friends!
