A Play Directed by Bulma

"Mangekyo Sharingan!" Kakashi, Guy, Asuma, and Kurenai all exclaimed in shock. They had just seen Mangekyo Sharingan, but they didn't expect to see it again immediately.

"I call it the Inverted Cross Mangekyo Sharingan. Its power is not comparable to Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan. Well, enough with my self-introduction. Now, everyone can die. Let's see if I can use one of these eyes' jutsu, Visual Technique - Transient Youth!"

Ryoha glanced at the Root ninjas in front of him. Time and space seemed to freeze at this moment. His continuously rotating inverted cross released a strange light. All of the Root ninjas were stunned by this pair of eyes.

It was as if time and space had stopped for a moment. The eyes of the Root ninjas slowly turned gray, and then they fell to the ground. Their bodies clearly still showed signs of life, but they were lying down forever.

"What kind of genjutsu is this?"

This was the first time that Kakashi had seen such a strange genjutsu. It was really too terrifying.

"Hehe, I said that my Mangekyo is not comparable to the Mangekyo of the people of the Uchiha clan. This is my eye technique - Transient Youth. Its ability is very simple but useful."

"It is to pull a person's spirit into a genjutsu world like Itachi's Tsukuyomi. However, mine is different. Mine will not cause any harm to their souls, and I can't control everything inside it like Itachi. The only thing I can do is to trap those people inside."

"However, my genjutsu's world is different from the Tsukuyomi. Three days in the Tsukuyomi's world equal to one second in the outside world. In other words, regardless of whether I can break the Tsukuyomi or not, as long as I can survive for three days, the Tsukuyomi will automatically disappear, but mine is different."

"My Transient Youth will trap the people who are pulled inside. There is no time limit on it, and it will not cause any harm to them. However, time will pass as usual. In other words, if they can't break free from the Transient Youth, how much time has passed in my jutsu's world is equivalent to how much time has passed in the outside world.

Unfortunately, they have spent more than 70 years inside without any struggle. Although they will not be hungry or thirsty, they will still age.

"However, the time spent inside was the same as how much time had passed in the outside world. In other words, if they had been inside for more than 70 years and reached the limit of their normal lifespan, then their spirit would reach the limit of its normal lifespan, and they would all die of old age."

"However, while their respective bodies in the outside world didn't age, with the death of their spirit inside my genjutsu world, even if their bodies were still alive and well, they could only die."

Every time Ryoha said a single word, Kakashi and the others who were still alive shivered.

This technique might not look terrifying, because as long as it got broken, nothing would happen. Staying inside the Transient Youth would not cause any damage, but it was actually really frightening.

If one could not break it for a lifetime, it would be the same as dying of old age. The name is really not wrong. In a transient moment of beauty, no matter how many years had passed in this world, it was only a second in the outside world. It really was a transient time of youth.

"It's your turn now."

Ryoha covered his left eye. His Sharingan was only a Mangekyo, not the Eternal Mangekyo, so using them would naturally cause a huge burden to his eyes and body. However, Ryoha didn't care. He wanted all the villagers of Konoha to be buried with Bulma.

"Wait, Ryoha! they are innocent!"

There was no other way. At this time, only Kurenai and Ryoha had the best relationship. Even if she was angry about what the higher-ups of Konoha did, she felt that the other villagers were innocent.

"Shut up!"

Ryoha's eyes narrowed. Kurenai was so scared that she didn't dare to continue. The death of the Root ninjas just now was too terrible. Everyone knew that Ryoha was in a very unstable state. It could be said that he had gone berserk.

"Wait."

Just as Ryoha was about to deal with everyone in front of him, a weak voice came. Ryoha suddenly trembled, and his eyes contracted. He slowly turned around to look at the source of the voice. He saw that Bulma, who was already dead, was standing up with Haku's help. On the other side, Kakashi and the others felt like they had just survived a disaster.

"You are still alive? Am I hallucinating?"

Ryoha stretched out his trembling right hand to Bulma, but he did not dare to touch her. He was worried that this was not real but his own illusion.

"I am still alive. It was like this. At that time, when so many people came to take me, I already knew that something bad would happen. So I immediately told Haku to release an ice dragon into the sky to signal you to come. Then when Haku used the Ice Wall to block the attacks of those Jonins, I found that you were coming soon."

"Since Konoha is so heartless, then I can do the same. So I thought of a good way. I ate a medicine to fake my death, so all of my bodily functions halted for two minutes, just like a real dead person. Then I made a bit of fake blood and drew a red mark on my neck."

"Don't blame Haku. I asked her to act this scene for me. Even if we are fine in the end, Konoha won't let us go. Therefore, I have to give you the strength to protect yourself. This is the only way for you to awaken the Mangekyo, which is why everything happened just now."

So that was why Bulma ate a capsule just now. With Haku's control over her ice release, her delicate chakra control, and her extreme concentration, there was no way she would let Bulma be harmed by her own jutsu. It turned out that everything was deliberately done by Bulma.

Everything was staged by Bulma. In order to let Ryoha awaken the Mangekyo, Bulma did not die. If it were in normal times, Ryoha would definitely notice that something is off. However, the angered Ryoha, who was actually precocious, didn't notice anything. He was successfully deceived by Bulma.

Despite everything, Ryoha was not angry because he knew that Bulma was doing it for his own good. Moreover, at this moment, he was overjoyed by the fact that Bulma was still alive.

"It's good that you are still alive. This should be fine, right?" Asuma's face was pale, and cold sweat oozed out from his back. He felt even more scared than when he was on the battlefield.

"It's good that you are still alive. As long as you are alive, everything will be fine."

Ryoha could no longer deceive his own heart in great sorrow and joy. He could see through his own heart completely. He proceeded to hug Bulma in his arms as if no one else was there.

Bulma also didn't expect that Ryoha would have such a massive reaction because of her. He would actually take everyone in the Land of Fire to be buried with her. It made her heart feel suffocated. There was an unprecedented feeling of satisfaction, warmth, and sweetness.
