Turning Illusion into Reality

The moment he finished speaking, Yota took a Devil Fruit from the Dark Space. It was the Book-Book Fruit he had obtained from the Charlotte Pirates.

This was the method Yota had devised to turn the entire Genjutsu Space from illusion into reality!

It had to be admitted that Devil Fruits represented miracles in many ways. The most marvelous thing about the Book-Book Fruit was its world within books. If that book world merged with the Genjutsu Space, it would create a true Second World, as dreamlike and fantastical as an illusion!

No matter how real the Genjutsu Space seemed, it was ultimately false. The Second World, however, would be a genuine world. Moreover, after gathering the fantasies of every living being in the Shinobi World, the Second World’s strength and capabilities would surely reach an unimaginable level.

Red Queen took the Devil Fruit Yota handed her without a word. Closing her eyes, she crunched through it, then opened them again and looked down at the planet beneath her feet.

A moment later, Yota noticed something strange, while Hamura Ōtsutsuki let out a low cry of surprise.

A strange world, dreamlike and half-real, half-illusory, like a mirage, appeared in the skies above the entire Shinobi World. It was so enormous that it covered the whole sky, making it seem as though the planet had been draped in a thin, translucent, multicolored curtain.

"That’s the Genjutsu Space—it really became a real world!" Hamura Ōtsutsuki cried out.

Even though Yota had told Hamura Ōtsutsuki about this from the start, Hamura Ōtsutsuki had never expected Yota to turn the Genjutsu Space from illusion into reality so directly.

He had thought it would be an extraordinarily long process, one that would take at least eight or ten years of effort before succeeding!

If even Hamura Ōtsutsuki was this shocked, the others in the Shinobi World needed no mention.

When the update was first about to begin, Red Queen had directly kicked everyone out of the Genjutsu Space and announced that it would be updated. Thus, everyone in the Shinobi World knew the Genjutsu Space was undergoing an update.

"What exactly is going on? Did something happen to the Genjutsu Space? Why did it appear outside?"

Killer B, the current Fifth Raikage of Kumogakure, stared at the sky and asked in astonishment.

As for the advisers around him, they only looked at one another. A problem with the Genjutsu Space was far beyond their ability to solve.

What? You wanted to know why Killer B had become Raikage in Kumogakure, and where the Fourth Raikage had gone…

Hadn’t it been mentioned before that someone had set his sights on the moon? That had been the famously hardheaded Fourth Raikage.

After years of research, he had planned to use the Heavenly Transfer Technique to teleport directly to the moon, then use a summoning technique to summon himself back.

The idea and reasoning had been completely correct—if one did not take the Giant Tenseigan’s own defensive capabilities into account.

As a result, while the Fourth Raikage was being teleported to the moon by the Heavenly Transfer Technique, he crashed into the lunar repulsion barrier Red Queen had created to protect the Giant Tenseigan.

With the two forces colliding, it was like a high-speed fighter jet slamming directly into the Himalayas. He exploded into a spray of blood in space, leaving not even a corpse behind.

Fortunately, the Raikage had anticipated the danger before leaving. Believing the trip’s outcome was uncertain, he had left behind a will. Otherwise, Kumogakure would probably still be unable to choose a Raikage.

Kumogakure mourned indignantly for a time, but there was nothing they could do. They could not even find a target for revenge, since the Fourth Raikage’s death was more like crashing into a wall and killing himself.

Furthermore, as the Genjutsu Space spread, the overall atmosphere of the Shinobi World had shifted toward peace. Even the fierce and combative Kumogakure Ninja had gradually accepted the rule of Akatsuki and the Genjutsu Space.

In fact, the other ninja villages had long since given up. They no longer sought benefits through war, instead putting most of their energy into diplomacy and ninja technique research.

Even among Kumogakure Ninja, most preferred their current lives. The Fourth Raikage’s action could only be considered the last echo of the old era.

"According to reports from those who were inside the Genjutsu Space at the time, Red Queen said a version update was needed," a Kumogakure Ninja reported.

"A version update?" Killer B muttered. During this time, technology in the Shinobi World had advanced considerably, especially computers, so Killer B understood version updates quite well.

"But this update is making far too big a fuss! Could it possibly turn the Genjutsu Space into a real world?"

Killer B said it jokingly, but when he saw the serious expressions on his advisers’ faces, his voice gradually lowered. "It didn’t really become a new world, did it?"

"Based on the images monitored by the latest radio telescopes," Mabui swallowed, "it’s very likely… real."

Konoha.

Hinata Hyuga sat on the steps by the entrance and looked up at the sky. A faint blue light flickered within her originally pure white pupils.

"This doesn’t look like a mirage. The Tenseigan’s power seems to have grown much stronger. Is the Genjutsu Space going to become a real world?"

Whenever Yota occasionally came to the Naruto World, he had kept his promise and visited Hinata several times. He had also once infused her with some lunar Ōtsutsuki genes.

Hinata’s talent for combat might have been considered ordinary, but her bloodline talent was unquestionably exceptional. Otherwise, she would not have been known as the princess of the Byakugan.

Stimulated by the Ōtsutsuki bloodline within her, her eyes had already begun to undergo subtle changes. She could even faintly sense the Giant Tenseigan in the sky.

"A real world? Is that true?" Hiashi Hyuga walked over with his hands tucked into his sleeves. Yet he did not say anything about Hinata Hyuga sitting on the steps without a trace of a young lady’s decorum. Instead, he directly asked his question.

After all, Hinata’s strength was improving faster and faster, and as for her personality… her childhood experiences had made her somewhat… intense.

When Hinata got angry, she truly dared to fight Hiashi Hyuga. What made Hiashi Hyuga feel especially miserable was that ten-year-old Hinata was now not much weaker than him.

Therefore, for the sake of his dignity, Hiashi Hyuga had rarely spoken to Hinata in a scolding tone since then.

"Yes, Father." Hinata Hyuga looked at the sky as she spoke. "The purity of your Byakugan isn’t high enough to sense it, but I can feel that the Tenseigan in the sky is undergoing a strange transformation. These changes clearly have a great deal to do with this mirage."

"What should have been an illusion formed from Chakra is now rapidly condensing from falsehood into reality. It’s simply incredible!"

"This must have been Brother Yota’s doing, right? As expected of the new generation’s God of Shinobi!"
