Wrecking The Past

16

A/N-Writing Genjutsu is strange. If this sounds strange, bear with me. These last few days have been bizarre. 

In the realm of Genjutsu, where illusions held sway, Naruto Uchiha, the grandson of Madara Uchiha, faced off against another Uchiha in a battle of mental fortitude. Both possessed the Sharingan and sought to prove their prowess in the art of Genjutsu.

Naruto, his Sharingan blazing with intensity, unleashed a torrent of illusions, weaving a tapestry of deceit and manipulation. His illusions were born from his deep understanding of the Uchiha's ancestral techniques, honed through years of training as he was now in Madara's body and his own indomitable will.

With a flicker of his eyes, Naruto ensnared his Uchiha opponent in a complex web of illusions. Illusory chains wrapped around their limbs, restraining their movements, while their surroundings twisted and contorted, resembling a desolate wasteland.

Within the Genjutsu realm, Naruto tapped into the depths of his adversary's psyche. He delved into their deepest fears and insecurities, exploiting their vulnerabilities with malicious precision. Illusions of their loved ones turning against them and their cherished dreams crumbling to dust haunted their minds.

As the illusions grew more vivid and harrowing, Naruto reveled in the power he held over his opponent's mental state. He twisted their perception of reality, leaving them questioning their own sanity. The Uchiha's mind became a labyrinth of despair, with no escape in sight.

But the Uchiha, though shaken, refused to yield. Drawing upon their own inner strength, they fought against Naruto's illusions with unwavering resolve. Through sheer willpower, they broke free from the shackles of their own fears, dispelling the oppressive darkness that Naruto had cast upon them.

With renewed determination, the Uchiha unleashed their own arsenal of illusions. They struck back with illusions that pierced through Naruto's defenses, seeking to shatter his own mental stability. Illusions of his cherished bonds fraying and his dreams dissipating like smoke clouded Naruto's perception.

Yet Naruto, undeterred, held firm. With his Sharingan ablaze, he pushed through the illusions, refusing to succumb to doubt and despair. He tapped into the resilience of his Uchiha heritage, piercing through the illusions with a clarity of purpose.

The Genjutsu battle intensified as both combatants hurled illusions at each other, their mental landscapes intertwining and colliding. Reality and illusion melded into a kaleidoscope of deception, challenging their very perception of what was real.

In the end, Naruto's mastery over Genjutsu proved superior. With a final surge of power, he unleashed an illusion of such magnitude that it shattered the Uchiha's mental fortitude. Their mind crumbled under the weight of Naruto's relentless assault, leaving them mentally broken.

As the illusion dissipated, Naruto stood victorious, his opponent kneeling before him, their spirit crushed. The battle of wills had been won, and Naruto had proven his dominance in the realm of Genjutsu.

But even in victory, Naruto understood the toll such mental manipulation had taken. With a touch of remorse, he extended a hand to his fallen opponent, offering solace and the hope of redemption. For he knew that true strength lay not in breaking others, but in lifting them up and guiding them towards the light.

"That was awesome," Kushina gushed as Kurama relayed a play-by-play. "Naruto is truly an Uchiha."

"Indeed he is," An Uchiha close by heard and responded.

Kagami smiled as Naruto helped the other Uchiha up. 'He knows honor very well. Especially to Clansmen.'

"I can only imagine what sort of horrors were shown in that moment," Hiruzen muttered. 

"He has exceptional chakra control, usually one struggles to keep genjutsu on one target, opting to change the environment or settling on the fact that comrades might be caught in it," Yamanaka murmured. "But to shoulder it on a single person, the chakra surrounded his opponent was rather oppressive. Whatever he pulled on came from the man's experience. Probably PTSD, a trauma response." 

"We'll be having a small break before we move on to Kenjustu," The proctor told Naruto who nodded and disappeared to appear before Kushina.

He took her hand and lead her away from the clansmen who congratulated him so far. Once they found a small alcove Naruto hugged her tightly. He seeks a moment of connection knowing that within a few rounds, he would be displaying something her innocent eyes shouldn't be seeing. "I'm a monster," Naruto stated. "I broke a clansmen and it's only going to get worse from here on out. Can you look at me now that I am a monster?"

'Choose your words carefully Kushina, he's just like you,' Kurama perked up in the seal when he felt the chakra of his brother. 'He holds the Four-Tails, my brother Son Goku.'

Kushina was stunned, Naruto was a Jinchuriki? He was just like her but he didn't know that, hell he didn't even ask why Kumo wanted her. But to find out before he even told her was disheartening, Naruto deserved to tell her when he was ready. But nevertheless, she would feel him out. "You aren't a monster," Kushina let herself be held, Naruto's pinecone scent melting her from the inside out. "You are a shinobi and being a shinobi we have to do things that make us seem inhumane but as long as we can still lock on to our emotions we'll never be monsters."

Naruto had a smile in his eyes as he ran his fingers through her hair. "You know if you keep enabling me like this I might just have to up my resistance towards you. You're irresistible Hime-chan, never change."

She chuckled as he pulled back and he looked at her carefully. He wanted to kiss her, to ravage her lips and body but he held back. He wanted to know how she would react to him after the assessment. For now, he would hold her, mark her neck as his and enjoy her voice that moaned his name. "Naruto," She was breathless as he nibbled on her sensitive neck. "Kiss me."

Naruto pulled back to stare at her lips, and her teary eyes, and sighed. He would have to build up back his defenses, he couldn't be whipped by a woman. He kissed her, prying her mouth open with his tongue to steal her breath as she leaned into him, moaning quietly as Naruto stroked her back softly. "There, there, better now Hime-chan?"

"Much," Kushina moaned softly, Naruto smirked and released her to head back to the arena. 

As the clash of steel echoed through the arena, Naruto Uchiha danced with lethal grace, his blade a blur of silver in the air. Across from him stood a formidable opponent, a shinobi renowned for his mastery of the sword. Yet, despite the skill of his adversary, Naruto moved with an overwhelming force, each strike calculated to maim or kill.

The spectators watched in awe and trepidation as Naruto unleashed a flurry of strikes, each one aimed with deadly precision. His opponent struggled to keep up, parrying desperately against the relentless assault. But Naruto's agility was unmatched, dodging and weaving through the slashes effortlessly, his movements fluid and unpredictable.

With a smirk playing on his lips, Naruto switched hands with his sword, catching his opponent off guard. Sensing an opening, he pressed the attack, his strikes coming faster and fiercer than before. The crowd gasped as they realized the true intent behind Naruto's swings - he was aiming to end the fight with a fatal blow.

The other shinobi, realizing the imminent danger, attempted to muster his defenses, but it was too late. Naruto's blade flashed, inches away from his opponent's throat, poised to deliver the finishing blow. In a last desperate move, the shinobi lowered his guard, narrowly avoiding decapitation but leaving himself vulnerable.

With a swift motion, Naruto disarmed his opponent, knocking him unconscious with a precise strike to the forehead using the hilt of his sword. The sudden stop left people stunned. Naruto put his hilt back into the hold and sighed a bit as the rush was still with him. He had actually gone for the kill, he could taste the blood in his mouth that wasn't there now. He licked his lips a bit as they dragged the other off to medical attention. 'Ninjutsu is next, the Blue Flash shall eclipse the Yellow Flash from this moment forward.'
