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 isted 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 exins 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.


    "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 isted space of that illusion." Sasuke scrutinizes the ce 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 itter. 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 ce is scary." The small Katsuyu clone shiver in fright.


    "It''s alright! We will soon escape from this ce." 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 exins 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 minutester,


    "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.


    "Take care of yourself." Mei ruffles her hair.


    "Now, everyone prepares your most powerful jutsu and gets ready to attack the red waning moon in the sky. I will do the same from outside this isted space. We have to shatter the core of this isted space at the same time to break free from its restraints." Ayaka rys her n to them.


    "Got it!" Everyone adopts a serious expression.


    Fwoosh


    Ayaka''s figure disappears from the isted space. She gathers arge amount of chakra in her hands.


    "Three"


    Naruto and Sasuke enter Sage Mode. Naruto prepares a giant sage art Rasenshuriken. Sasuke infuses chakra in his mouth and spits out a giant white rage dragon made of nature energy. Kakashi also infuses chakra in both of his hands.


    Purple lightning flickers through Kakashi''s hand and slowly morphs into a giant spear.


    Bzzt Crackle


    Chakra arms of Susanoo manifest behind Izumi. The giant arms wield a katana. Electric arc crackles across the katana.


    Minato raises his hand in the air and creates a gigantic Rasengan with wind infusion. The Rasengan turns cyan and generates super powerful winds strong enough to blow nearby surroundings.


    Tsunade gathers arge amount of chakra into her fists. The chakra turns visible to the eyes and coats her fists. Multiple marking appears over Tsunade''s body. Brow pigmentation appears around her eyes. The chakra cloak around her arm turns dark yellow, boosting her physical strength to another level.


    Chojuro wields the Hiramekarei de and summons multiple giant blue water des. Mei takes a deep breath and expels a giantva meteor from her mouth.


    Ao and Sakura also perform their part.


    White mes gather in Ayaka''s hands.


    Fire, wind, and lightning chakra gather in her hands. The fire and wind chakra mix and create scarlet mes.


    Bzzt crackle


    Lightning flickers across the mes and slowly merges with them. The color of the me changes to blue before turning white.


    Ayaka directs her hands toward the moon in the sky. The white mes transform into ance.

    Tsunade''s fists create a gigantic air dragon that soars toward the moon. Mei''s meteor expands and explodes into a shower ofva meteor that bombards the red moon.


    BOOM


    Shockwaves travel through the illusory space. Kakashi makes some quick hand signs and erects multiple earth walls to protect them. Minato creates a Rashomon gate to absorb the shock of the multiple powerful jutsus.


    Snap Crack


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


    Bang


    With a loud bang, the entire space shatters into countless fragments like a ss 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 n. 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 metely?" 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 getcent. Especially you, Naruto!" Minato focuses his eyes on Naruto.


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


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


    Swoosh swoosh


    A few minutester, 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 quitete 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 exnation.


    "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.
