On the other side, in Naruto’s isolated space.

Ido had already revealed itself, with a blue face, fangs, and glowing red eyes. Yet Naruto continued walking forward, seemingly immune to the Genjutsu. Facing the fireball spat out by Ido, Naruto casually waved his hand and the fireball dissipated instantly.

"Die!" Ido screeched, its voice like nails on a chalkboard.

In the next moment, the demon-shaped Ido lunged at Naruto, with kunai in hand, attacking at lightning speed. Ido was so fast that the kunai rained down like a storm, each one slicing through the air with lethal intent.

Naruto simply tilted his head to dodge continuously, and without any hesitation, he slapped Ido hard across the face. Ido was stunned instantly, and the movement of uts hands froze for a moment.

Yakumo was also in shock and she stared at Naruto as if she had seen a ghost.

"How... how is this possible? This is my space!" Ido roared in disbelief.

"Oh."

Plak!

Naruto slapped Ido again, sending the demon flying across the space, crashing into the ground with a heavy thud. When Ido crawled back up, one of its fangs had broken off.

"How can you even touch me? This is impossible!"

Hearing this, Naruto didn’t answer. Instead, he just walked over and began pummeling Ido relentlessly. Compared to Yakumo’s earlier punishment, Ido was beaten beyond recognition, with its face caved in, arms broken, and legs bent at odd angles.

Yakumo, still sitting paralyzed on the ground, didn’t dare to even turn her head. Ido’s condition was too horrifying, and she was terrified that she might end up just like it, with her limbs shattered by this terrifying man.

Ido's howls of pain echoed throughout the Genjutsu space. Kurenai, Hinata, and Shino stood frozen in place, watching as Naruto toyed with Ido, beating it senseless at his whim.

"Kurenai-sensei... Naruto-kun… he-he…" Hinata was too stunned to finish her sentence.

The Genjutsu space isolation around them still existed, and the three couldn’t see what was happening clearly.

"Maybe... maybe he’s just naturally gifted." Kurenai muttered, just as dumbfounded.

From behind the Genjutsu isolated space, Kurenai had no clear idea what was going on with Naruto, but it was obvious that he had the upper hand.

Exactly how much of an advantage, though, she wasn’t sure.

After all, Yakumo’s Genjutsu was on a completely different level. Even Kurenai, a Jonin famed for her expertise in Genjutsu, could only rely on words to try to sway Yakumo.

After all, she might win a small victory by relying on Genjutsu duel, but if she accidentally forces Ido out, the whole village will be affected.

Based on the sounds she had heard so far, it is not difficult to deduce the whole story, ‘Yakumo had probably been beaten up by Naruto… and then Ido came out... only to also be beaten up too.’

Thinking of this, Kurenai was at a loss for words. She felt that this shouldn’t like some trick of the Genjutsu. After all, Yakumo wasn’t known for having such a twisted sense of humor, so she won’t create a Genjutsu just to mess with them.

The screams of agony sounded far too real. And yet, everything pointed to a nearly impossible scenario. No matter how experienced she was, Kurenai couldn’t help but fall into deep contemplation.

‘Could it be that Naruto was really not affected by the Genjutsu?’

‘If so, either he had practiced some technique to strengthen his mental strength, or his proficiency in Genjutsu surpasses everyone present.’

However, Kurenai couldn't find any traces of Naruto having studied Genjutsu, so she quickly ruled out the second option.

She concluded that it was more likely that Naruto had practiced some technique to strengthen his mental strength, giving him resistance to certain types of Genjutsu.

With a loud crack, Naruto stomped on one of Ido's legs, shattering it.

"This is my technique! You can’t kill me!" Ido spat defiantly, glaring at Naruto with resentment.

Naruto paused for a moment after hearing that, then continued punching. One punch crushed Ido's hand, and another landed squarely on its face.

Ido's wails of pain continued to echo in the Genjutsu space.

At first, everyone was extremely nervous, but as time went by, the constant howls started to wear them out. Even Yakumo, who had been trembling on the ground, was no longer afraid. He sat on the ground while hugging her knees, watching as Ido got beaten up.

With another thud, Naruto had punched through nearly every part of Ido that could be broken. But he noticed that Ido, which had started out roaring in anger, had now fallen silent.

‘Demons really are different from ordinary people, their endurance is something else.’ Naruto murmured in his heart as he squatted down, rubbing his chin in thought. He had now fully grasped the difficulty of completing this first option from the system.

Seeing Ido lying limply on the ground, with the Genjutsu around them becoming increasingly unstable, Naruto couldn't help but frown, ‘This won’t do.’

The task given by system is to tame Ido. If the Genjutsu space disappears and Kurenai came over to seal Ido for a decade or more, Naruto would be devastated.

After thinking it over, Naruto grabbed Ido, lifting it up and slapping it hard again.

"Now, go back where you came from!"

"And! Hide yourself! Don’t let anyone find you, or I’ll torture you even worse."

His voice was cold and eerie, like the whisper of an evil god, "Wait for me, I’ll come to find you again."

Ido raised its swollen eyelids, and for the first time, a flicker of fear and despair appeared in its eyes. But seeing Naruto’s raised hand, it had no choice but to dissipate into a wisp of blue smoke, retreating back into Yakumo’s body.

As the Genjutsu dispersed, Kurenai came over with Hinata and Shino. They then saw Yakumo, whose face is swollen like a pig's head, sitting on the ground, while Naruto stood nearby, completely unscathed, with his arms crossed and looking indifferent.

"What just happened?" Kurenai asked, then glanced at Yakumo and confirmed that she hadn’t lost her mind. Only then did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Naruto-kun, are you okay?" Hinata ran over to Naruto’s side, quickly lowered her head and asked in a low voice.

Standing off to the side, Shino, who had been acting as the background, was speechless when he heard this, ‘What could possibly have happened to him? Anyone with eyes could see that Naruto just beat Yakumo up.’

"I scraped some skin on my finger." Naruto shamelessly held up his right hand, pretending to be hurt.

"Let me see." Hinata was so concerned that she didn't realize she was being tricked and actually reached out to pull his hand, wanting to take a closer look.

"What's her situation now?" Kurenai awkwardly gestured toward Yakumo, who is still sitting on the ground, with a worried look on her face.

"She’s fine for now. Ido has already been sealed." Naruto replied, pressing down on Hinata’s hand with his other hand, gently holding hers. Then he added to Kurenai, “If you’re still worried, you can check her again. After all, she’s your student, Kurenai-sensei."

After he finished speaking, Naruto pulled Hinata closer, then casually pinched her cheek.

"Just kidding. You really believe anything, huh."

Hinata didn’t seem upset, instead, she just kept looking at his hand, clearly embarrassed but unable to stop her gaze. Her eyes lingered, looking a little shy.

"There’s nothing on my hand, you know." Naruto said amusedly. He opened his palm, revealing that it was perfectly fine, without a scratch.

"That's good." She said softly.

Kurenai, as expected, walked over to check on Yakumo. Yakumo still wanted to resist at first, but a single glance from Naruto made her shudder and she immediately became obedient.

As expected, after seemingly completing a ‘full childhood experience’, Kurama’s overall demeanor looked much more agreeable.

Kurenai formed a hand seal and placed her hand on Yakumo’s forehead. After a brief investigation, she confirmed that Ido’s presence was indeed gone. Only then did her expression finally relax.
