Сhapter 22: Reflections.

- What do you want to hold? - the boatman asked.

Danzo gestured for the others to bring one of the sacks.

Hyung immediately rushed to obey the order and easily carried the bag, landing it gently on the ground in front of Danzo.

- Purest cotton, straight from the Land of Fire! - the boatman exclaimed when he saw the contents of the sack.

- Yeah. We were afraid that if we walk through the land of the shinobi, we could easily be robbed even if we hire shinobi to accompany us. Therefore, we have chosen a safer route to the Land of Lightning. - Danzo told him, and then continued. - You yourself must hear what the situation in the world is now.

The boatman shook his head slightly, then waved his hand.

- Download.

The bear, sitting behind the reins, carefully led the horse onto the barge. After a few minutes, they moved forward.

The Eagle lying on the sacks muttered dully:

- Why didn't we just put him in a genjutsu ...

But then Danzo's heavenly punishment immediately followed, in the form of a strong cuff.

* PTUK! *

- You have no brains at all? No wonder your genjutsu skills are so weak. - Danzo answered quietly.

To immerse a person in genjutsu meant to attack him. And to attack a citizen of the Land of Iron meant incurring a myriad of troubles.

Danzo couldn't afford to create problems out of the blue.

"It's a pity that I can't train, somehow I'm really addicted to this ..."

In this world, to become stronger, you need first of all perseverance and work, and everything else is secondary.

Danzo already felt that he was as close as possible to opening the Second Gate and he was very eager to open them, since their ability to restore and significantly increase stamina was extremely useful in any battle.

"By the way, if the First Gate allows me to dispel most common genjutsu, then can the Second or even the Third Gate dispel Tsukuyomi?"

At first, it was only Danzo's theory, which, however, was confirmed, not without the help of the arrogant Eagle.

The very effect of removing Genjutsu arose due to the fact that in the gate opening mode, the user's Physical Energy, or simply Yan, greatly increased, and with it the Chakra. Yes, there is not only another person, but the user himself lost the ability to normally control his Chakra, so the Eight Gate technique was the sworn enemy of any genjutsu.

"And another question, if there is something like the Eight Gates, then can there be an analogue that only increases not Physical Energy, but Spiritual Energy?"

As much as Danzo rummaged through his memory, he could not remember any examples of this.

"Although, wait ... Zero-Tails can absorb negative emotions, creating the Dark Chakra, which in fact is the absorption of the concentrated Yin energy of people! .. That it is almost entirely composed of Spiritual Energy. Then it turns out that Shinn used the Body Restoration Technique for a reason, but because of the direct need to balance the Yin energy with the help of the strong Yang energy! "

Shinn was a shinobi of the Land of Heaven and enjoyed tremendous success in Iryoninjutsu.

An example of this success was the Body Restoration Technique, which, using Chakra, manipulated the cycle of muscle destruction and repair, thereby making the user stronger. She also did a pretty good job of keeping the user alive after usually fatal wounds, thus becoming comparable to Hashirama Senju's regeneration.

Remembering Zero-Tail and those to whom he belonged, Danzo could not flinch.

"But the Land of Heaven must still exist, as well as their flying fortress! .. When I finish forming the Root, I will need to tackle this problem."
