Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Taste my illusion
Two and a half days.
The four of them rushed and finally reached the border.
They completed the handover with the Ninja stationed in the Land of Fire.
There were no bunkers here, only tall trees and large woods, with Ninja resting places at intervals.
Because they had to patrol, they wouldn't stay in one place.
The area they were stationed in was the border with the Land of Iron; other border lines were guarded by other Ninja.
"Satoru Senior,
May I ask you a question?"
After the handover, Satoru was resting when he saw Uchiha Itachi approach him.
Satoru was stunned: "Go ahead and ask."
He was also curious about what question this genius would have, given they had only met once.
"What do you think the Will of Fire is?"
Itachi asked a question that was both unexpected and expected.
He really wanted to know what others thought of the Village.
Especially since he heard that this Senior in front of him was a successor and an outstanding practitioner of Konoha's Will of Fire.
Since his graduation, he had been a firm executor of the Will of Fire.
Satoru looked at him in surprise. The Third Hokage was right; this person, though young, already possessed a mature will.
He didn't directly ask about the Village and the family, but rather approached it indirectly.
With the memory of the original work and years of Ninja quality training, he saw through this thought.
"The Will of Fire, it's about protecting the Village and protecting your family!"
Satoru's answer was simple and true to himself.
He didn't have any world-changing ideas, and what he said was just common knowledge.
"What if you had to choose between the Village and your family?" Itachi continued to ask.
Satoru raised an eyebrow. He had just praised him, and now he couldn't hold back so quickly.
It seemed his thinking was mature, but he was still young after all.
"Why think so much at such a young age? It will only cause internal conflict.
You'd be better off using this time to strengthen yourself."
Satoru did not answer directly, and he genuinely believed that internal conflict at this age was very dangerous.
Itachi's future illness was probably caused by this early internal conflict.
Moreover, he had no intention of making a choice for Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi did not speak upon hearing this, his eyes quietly fixed on Satoru.
He seemed determined to extract something from his mouth.
Satoru felt his hair stand on end from being stared at, and he raised an eyebrow and said, "Kid, if you keep looking at me like that, I'll let you taste some hardship.
You probably don't know how much those guys in the Analysis Team feared me.
Even the Captain, known as the 'Ghost Sergeant,' would tremble when facing my hardships."
You think you're Itachi in his later years? Right now, hitting you is like hitting a child.
"We are comrades." Uchiha Itachi was unmoved by his words.
He didn't believe he would harm a comrade.
"That's right, that's right, I want to know too."
Anko Mitarashi sat on a tree branch, crossing her long, slender legs, and blowing a bubblebubble gumously.
Satoru picked up his binoculars, constantly scanning the surroundings.
"I'll answer your questions after I let you taste some hardship,
So you won't have such boring questions later."
As he said this, he formed a hand sign with one hand, under the astonished gazes of the two.
The two were about to move.
Illusory.
The world spun.
What appeared before Uchiha Itachi was an endless amount of grilled meat. Although he wanted to control himself, his body uncontrollably ate large mouthfuls.
And on Anko Mitarashi's side, there were bright red, very beautiful ghost peppers. In her horrified eyes, the peppers grew hands and feet and jumped into her mouth.
Outside the mental world.
Both their bodies involuntarily twitched, and Anko's body turned completely red.
Itachi frowned continuously.
"Hmm, my most disliked food is only 'hard to eat'?"
Satoru observed Itachi's physical reactions, expressing surprise.
It seemed his life was very healthy; he hadn't eaten any truly unpalatable food!
He then looked at Anko Mitarashi, whose body was flushed red and undulating, and her mouth even showed signs of becoming a sausage mouth.
This was a typical case of mental influence on the body; it seemed her most disliked food had left a deep impression on her!
The corner of his mouth curved up. He thought, 'Serves you right for asking such sensitive questions.'
Still daring to be relentless?
To prevent them from asking such mission-irrelevant questions in the future, Satoru decided to teach them a lesson.
Of course, before they had had eir fill of the taste, Satoru did not forget his duties.
His observation of the surroundings did not slacken.
While waiting for the two to break free from the Genjutsu, he used his perception ability to sense the surrounding tens of miles.
After many years of training, both his physical and mental energy were incomparable to before.
His Chakra reserves were now even more abundant than Kakashi's.
His perception range had also grown stronger.
From one mile at first to tens of miles now.
He couldn't compare to Naruto in his later stages, but he wasn't bad either.
Occasionally, some Ninja Beasts flew through his perception.
If he hadn't acquired the Pupil Setting Hand, he would have had to catch a few to be Summoning Beasts.
And the Captain, Hayama, who had just completed the handover and gone out on patrol, now entered his perception.
He was very dedicated.
He felt even more dedicated than someone like him, who vowed to be a wage earner.
He was practically a born workhorse.
However, he dared not underestimate this classmate; he was the fastest person to be promoted to Jonin after Kakashi.
Referring to their graduating class.
...
"Genjutsu?"
The moment Uchiha Itachi entered the mental space, he already realised a Genjutsu.
However, before he could dispel it, the grilled meat was already being shoved into his mouth.
It was too late; he still ate the grilled meat.
This food, which he considered the most unpalatable, he could still tolerate.
His young mind was working at high speed.
He accuses Fire of being fake?
Did he deceive the Third Hokage?
No, impossible.
According to his words, he already had a wife and was about to have a child.
How could a Ninja without the Will of Fire have such an obvious weakness?
To his knowledge, none of the rogue Ninja in Konoha currently had offspring.
So, he wanted to tell himself that the Will of Fire was his own thing?
That he had to make his own decisions in everything?
"Also, grilled meat is realatable."
...
"Damn it, what kind of Genjutsu is this?"
In Anko Mitarashi's mental space, eating the fiery red peppers, she couldn't hold on any longer.
Finally, with tenacious will, she suppressed the pain given by the peppers.
She burst out Chakraf a and dispelled the Genjutsu.
Her vision returned to her body, and she felt a burning sensation. Seeing Satoru sensing the surroundings, she became furious.
She yelled, "Hey, I was just curious! Why did you drag me into this too?"
Satoru put down his binoculars and said apologetically, "Nothing much, just showing you my
Preferred ability, and also, having answered this questioquestiono ask such boring questions again in the future, I'll let you taste my ultimate Genjutsu,
Hmph!"
Then he looked at Itachi, who had already dispelled the Genjutsu.
