Naruto Birdcage

The setting sun hung high in the sky, and the clouds were stained blood-red.

The entire battlefield was silent, as everyone was immersed in an indescribable shock.

The previously powerful Two-Tails Jinchuriki suddenly went mad, attacking her own comrades, and in the end, a single Tailed Beast Ball wiped out most of her allies, including the commander, Tsuchidai.

Makoto's figure slowly descended to the ground.

He formed a hand seal with one hand, and red markings gradually spread across Yugito's body, paralyzing her so that she could no longer move.

Self-Imposed Curse Seal of Binding.

The remaining Kumogakure ninja were thrown into a panic, realizing it was now a hopeless situation.

The Konoha ninja surged forward, and those who tried to resist were immediately slain, while more were captured alive.

Yugito stared blankly, unable to accept that she had killed countless comrades.

Her mental state was on the brink of collapse.

"Makoto!"

Shikaku, Fugaku, Jiraiya, and others hurried forward, gazing at the captured Two-Tails Jinchuriki with astonishment.

"Makoto-kun, was that a genjutsu you used?" Fugaku couldn't help but ask.

He had never heard of any genjutsu that could affect a Jinchuriki.

Makoto replied, "The effect was similar."

He can manipulate natural energy to alter the density of air, thereby changing the direction of light propagation.

When people observe flames, they often notice that the air around them appears distorted.

This occurs because high temperatures reduce air density, and the change in the medium of propagation affects the refractive index of light—similar to the principle behind a mirage.

This is not genjutsu; it is merely a physical phenomenon.

By vibrating his own chakra, he changes the movement of natural energy, triggering a series of chain reactions.

Most people rely heavily on their vision to act.

When they realize their eyes are deceiving them, yet they are not under a genjutsu, panic is inevitable.

Makoto can not only refract light but also disrupt sound waves to deprive enemies of their hearing and sense of smell.

The same principle applies to sensory-type ninja.

Natural energy can be seen as the medium for chakra propagation.

By controlling this medium, he can block the enemy's sensory abilities.

"Makoto-kun, thanks to you, we achieved victory in this battle. The greatest credit goes to you," Shikaku said.

Whether it was destroying the teleportation array or subduing the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, it all depended on the young man before them.

Even Jiraiya couldn't help but marvel at the talent of the next generation.

Before this, everyone thought he was just a desk worker handling administrative affairs.

As a member of the Hyuga clan, he had lost his Byakugan, and his abilities as a Chunin were assumed to be greatly diminished.

No one expected him to display such power.

The jutsu he used were utterly unique—flying through the air, manipulating ninja tools, controlling flames and lightning... it was as if he belonged to an entirely different narrative.

Makoto said, "Hurry and clear the battlefield. There are still over 500 enemies outside. Once they find nothing, they'll likely return soon. There's no need for us to keep fighting them head-on."

Shikaku nodded. "Makoto-kun is right."

No one around voiced any objections.

The Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito, was subjected to multiple layers of seals by the Konoha ninja.

Her entire body was also tightly bound.

She stared at Makoto with eyes full of hatred, as if she wanted to tear him apart.

Clearly, she blamed everything that had just happened on him.

Makoto was completely indifferent.

To him, this girl was already meat on the chopping block, ready to be handled however he wished.

He walked to a large tree to rest, and wherever he passed, Konoha ninja respectfully made way for him.

No one dared to underestimate this young assistant to the Hokage anymore.

Hakumen hurried over and handed his water bottle to Makoto.

"Lord Makoto."

Hakumen had indeed been worried earlier that something might go wrong with Makoto.

As the clan leader's bodyguard, he valued Makoto's life more than his own.

This was the way the Hyuga clan had always been taught, with Hizashi being the sole exception due to his unique background.

Hakumen was still young and did not carry the deep-seated resentment that the older members of the branch family harbored.

Makoto let out a long sigh, took a sip of water, and said, "You should go help clean up the battlefield too."

"Yes, Lord Makoto!"

Hakumen bowed deeply before leaving, his demeanor even more respectful than before.

For the Hyuga clan, having such a strong leader was naturally a good thing, even if they couldn't quite understand why Lord Makoto's combat style was so different from theirs.

After Hakumen left, Obito and Guy approached.

These two carefree individuals treated Makoto with much more casualness.

As one of Makoto's subordinates, Guy had never once addressed him as "Lord," unlike Kakashi, who was more formal.

Kakashi had warned Guy about this many times, but Makoto himself had said it didn't matter.

"Call me whatever you like," he'd told them.

"Makoto, how can you fly?" Guy asked first.

"Yeah, Makoto, can you teach me?" Obito quickly chimed in, his mind already imagining himself soaring through the skies with Rin.

Surely, she would be thrilled and fall for him on the spot!

"You two can't learn it," Makoto replied bluntly, determined to dispel their unrealistic ideas.

Guy couldn't even execute proper ninjutsu, with his chakra control being utterly abysmal.

"Focus on honing your Wood Release," he added, turning to Obito.

Obito looked troubled.

His training in Wood Release wasn't going well.

Unlike Fire Release, it wasn't something he could easily find a teacher for—he had to figure it out all on his own.

Following the decisive victory, one of the Earth Release users unleashed a large-scale Earth-Style technique, completely reshaping the battlefield's terrain.

Only then did the Konoha forces begin their journey back home.

Makoto walked at the center of the group, his mind replaying the recent battle.

To have gone from a Chunin to this level in such a short time—it was almost like cheating.

Ordinary Jonin were no match for him anymore.

Although his strength was remarkable, his performance this time did not meet his expectations, leading him to identify several shortcomings.

First was the lack of offensive techniques.

Of course, Makoto referred specifically to facing powerful enemies like the Two-Tails.

Against ordinary opponents, his high-frequency vibration of air to generate flames was already more than sufficient.

This was somewhat similar to the Morning Peacock taijutsu technique, though Makoto could control the flames with far greater precision and fluidity.

Second was the vulnerability of his manipulation of natural energy to environmental disturbances.

When the Two-Tails' jinchūriki fully transformed, the sudden surge of immense chakra disrupted the surrounding natural energy field, almost causing Makoto to fall from the sky.

Lastly, there was the issue of chakra.

This time, thanks to White Zetsu providing him with additional chakra, he managed to sustain himself.

Even so, by the end of the battle, his chakra reserves were nearly depleted.

Chakra is formed by combining mental energy and physical stamina.

Makoto's recent high-intensity physical training had yielded significant results, making his chakra reserves quite impressive for someone his age.

Yet, in his view, it was still insufficient.

If only his chakra reserves were as vast as a boundless ocean.

If only he could effortlessly harness the infinite natural energy of the world!

The key to solving all these problems still lay in mastering natural energy!
