Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#342 - Amaterasu Black Flame

“Tsukuyomi!”

As Itachi's voice fell, Liang Yue suddenly felt surrounded by darkness.

In the blink of an eye, he found himself unknowingly bound to a cross.

Standing around him were eight or nine Uchiha Itachi, each holding a knife, staring at him expressionlessly...

"Your chakra training is flawed, Itachi. Moreover, while the Mangekyō Sharingan is incredibly powerful, your chakra quality can't keep up, so each use consumes your life force.

Using it too frequently will cause your eyesight to deteriorate."

After being trapped in the illusion, Liang Yue didn't panic. He calmly looked at the Itachi in the distance and said.

Based on his personal experience and the information gleaned from the original storyline...

This Tsukuyomi illusion should also be a means of affecting the subject's visual and auditory nerves, pain, and other sensory stimuli through specific chakra and mental energy frequency fluctuations.

This is the same path taken by some ordinary, more profound illusions.

However, compared to ordinary illusions, Tsukuyomi is activated through the Mangekyō Sharingan.

The Sharingan itself originates from the bloodline power of the Ōtsutsuki clan.

It can be said that the Sharingan is actually a converter inherited through bloodlines, and the techniques performed with it are naturally more advanced.

Therefore, most people can only passively endure it and can hardly resist.

But Liang Yue is different. He cultivates not chakra, but spiritual power of a higher quality~

Moreover, his current cultivation progress has reached the Innate Realm, and his mental power has already formed the divine sense power of a cultivator.

At the same time, Liang Yue also possesses a bloodline no weaker than the Uchiha clan.

The Byakugan's specialty is detection and reconnaissance~

With such an overwhelming advantage, how could Liang Yue possibly lose?

It's like doing a simple comparison problem.

Given that the Tenseigan and Rinnegan are on the same level of existence.

Then, between the Byakugan powered by spiritual energy and the Mangekyō Sharingan, which is superior?

Even an elementary school student can answer that...

......

"It seems you know quite a bit... You said my chakra training is flawed, what do you mean?"

After hearing Liang Yue's words, Itachi's face showed a clear surprise, but he still maintained a cool expression and asked.

"You've heard about Orochimaru causing trouble in Konoha before, right? He killed the Fourth Kazekage, but when facing the Third Hokage, he was almost instantly...

Defeated and fled, vomiting blood. That's not because the Third Hokage was still strong in his old age, but because he had already made a breakthrough on the original foundation. Otherwise, with the Third Hokage's current age of sixty-nine, he would probably have already met with disaster."

Liang Yue replied calmly at this time.

"So?"

"...The method for the Third Hokage's breakthrough was developed by me. It's a method that can directly absorb natural energy to convert it into more powerful chakra.

At the same time, natural energy will also strengthen the cultivator's body through backflow, making their life force more resilient and allowing them to live longer."

"Sage Mode?"

"Not Sage Mode. The Sage Mode you speak of is actually something passed down from the three great toad sage lands. What I'm talking about is a cultivation method that is more suitable for us humans.

However, the threshold for cultivating this method is relatively high."

"Why tell me all this?"

"I don't want to see you die in vain, Itachi. Sasuke also needs you to save him."

"...Then continue."

"...Ahem~ Well, this, the cultivation method is~"

......

Tsukuyomi illusion space, about an hour later.

"...So that's how it is, using mental state to guide natural energy to connect with the human body, thereby achieving a reverse feedback and enhancement relative to the external world."

Muttering to himself, Itachi slowly raised his head, then looked at Liang Yue with a calm expression, but his eyes seemed particularly bright.

"Yes, that's roughly the idea."

Liang Yue nodded in response.

At the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart. As expected of Itachi, his talent and comprehension were at least half a level above the Third Hokage!

"Thank you for your gift. I will keep this in mind, so~ next, let me repay some interest first."

Saying that, Liang Yue suddenly curved the corners of his mouth, and a flash of light suddenly appeared in his pair of light purple eyes.

In an instant, cyan-green spiritual light instantly rose up, as if it were substantial.

It looked like cyan-green flames were coming out of his eye sockets.

Immediately afterward, the dark space that originally enveloped Liang Yue was directly bounced away, and the cross that bound him naturally disappeared without a trace.

With the expansion of the Byakugan's 360-degree spherical vision, it was as if a transparent barrier was being propped open, directly dissolving Itachi's Tsukuyomi illusion space.

"Release my teammates."

These were the last words Itachi left behind as the Tsukuyomi illusion space disappeared.

The Tsukuyomi illusion space is a magical mental world. Although more than an hour had passed inside, in reality, only a short moment had passed.

Therefore, the people outside didn't actually know about the conversation between Liang Yue and Itachi.

When the world before his eyes returned to reality again, Liang Yue followed suit. With a thought, Kisame Hoshigaki, who was wrapped and confined by layers of tree roots on the other side of the river, was released.

"Amaterasu!"

At this moment, Itachi's cold voice rang out again.

Crap?

Liang Yue was stunned upon hearing this and looked up. He saw Uchiha Itachi covering a bleeding eye, staring at himself with the other eye.

Immediately afterward, accompanied by high temperatures that seemed to appear out of thin air, black flames began to rise on his body.

"Don't be afraid~ Watch me!"

At this time, Jiraiya, who had been hiding on the side watching the excitement, finally played a role.

He quickly took out a blank scroll from his arms, and then opened it beside Liang Yue. The Amaterasu black flames were immediately sucked into the scroll.

Fire Sealing Method~!

A type of sealing technique from the Uzumaki clan~

Liang Yue naturally knew this sealing technique as well.

However, Jiraiya seemed relatively active at this time, so he didn't bother to snatch it.

In addition, although Liang Yue had learned this sealing technique, he didn't have any blank sealing scrolls on him...

"Sealing technique... Let's go!"

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Itachi immediately narrowed his eyes.

After using the two great dōjutsu, Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, he was naturally very weak at this time, so he immediately leaped up and jumped to the other side of the river.

Taking the still somewhat frightened Kisame Hoshigaki with him, he disappeared into the roadside thicket in the blink of an eye.

During the process of being possessed by the Amaterasu black flames, Liang Yue almost subconsciously surged his spiritual power out of his body.

Therefore, during the process of Jiraiya using the sealing technique to collect Amaterasu, he didn't suffer any injuries either.

Or rather, throughout the entire battle before, Liang Yue had remained completely unscathed. Apart from consuming a lot of spiritual power, the opponent hadn't even managed to injure a piece of clothing on his body!
