Chapter 70 Detailed Explanation of Illusion (Sixth Update, Please Subscribe and Vote)

As Genichi left the Konoha Hospital, his thoughts were churning.

He never expected to encounter something similar to Kakashi's, receiving a Sharingan from Uchiha Ichiro.

It was quite unexpected, and I wouldn't call it joy.

The Sharingan is indeed powerful, especially the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, whose unique eye techniques may not be inferior to those of the Rinnegan.

However, it remains to be seen whether the advantages of this Sharingan outweigh the disadvantages for Genichi Kinoshita.

Kakashi already has a precedent to learn from.

Non-Uchiha clan members cannot turn off the Sharingan, meaning it continuously consumes chakra.

Although Genichi Shushita is not as lacking in mana as before, it is still a considerable burden.

What are the benefits of the two-tomoe Sharingan?

Dynamic vision, illusionary abilities.

As for the future, whether it is possible for it to continue evolving is hard to say.

Genichi Kinoshita had previously considered the possibility of transplanting Hashirama's cells, human modification, and the possibility of becoming a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast, but he had never considered the Sharingan.

Unexpectedly, things turned out quite well.

With his thoughts churning, Genichi thought to himself, "Now that I've obtained it, I need to think carefully about how to use it to maximize my benefits."

As for voluntarily returning the eyes to the Uchiha clan.

Genichi under the tree had never thought of that.

This was left to him by Uchiha Nagato; he couldn't let it down.

Secondly, judging from Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude, he probably won't let him return it.

"After the transplant, we need to see if we can use the Sharingan to perform genjutsu like Dark Walk. If we can, we can skip the hand seals."

"With the Sharingan's dynamic vision and the speed boost from the Soldier Technique, my Body Flicker Technique should also be greatly improved."

"As for the advancement of the Sharingan..."

Xuan Yi frowned inwardly under the tree.

According to the original work, the advancement of the Sharingan requires a great deal of mental stimulation.

If we include something non-flammable, it could be a negative emotional stimulus or love.

However, Genichi Shushita felt that love is an emotion that is often gentle and not so intense or violent all at once, so it is probably difficult to understand.

Negative emotions...

Genichi Shushita didn't want to be a lunatic, nor did he want to kill people.

"This seems to require further consideration..."

Genichi Shushita collected his thoughts, began shopping, and then returned to Konoha Hospital.

Inside the hospital room, Hatake Sakumo had already woken up.

"Teacher, Kakashi hasn't returned yet. I'll take care of you for the next few days."

Genichi under the tree put down the large and small bags he was carrying.

The hospital supplies included Sakumo Hatake's hospitalization.

There is fruit.

There is meat porridge.

Sakumo Hatake couldn't help but laugh and said, "No need for all that trouble, I only have an injured arm."

Genichi put the food down and brought the porridge to Sakumo Hatake, saying with a smile, "Teacher, you don't need to be so polite with me. It's not convenient to eat with one hand!"

"When Kakashi comes back, I'll have him take my place."

"Moreover, I don't have to carry out any missions these days, so I can temporarily let my shadow clone do the cultivation."

Sakumo Hatake smiled and stopped talking, then opened his mouth to drink the porridge.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, February 25th, Konoha Year 45, the weather was overcast.

Uchihachi was buried and a memorial tablet was erected for his spirit.

In addition to Genichi Kinoshita, Sakumo Hatake, and En Yamanaka, those attending the funeral included the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, Fugaku Uchiha representing the Uchiha clan, and Mizumi Uchiha, Nagatoshi Uchiha's mother.

After the funeral, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Fugaku Uchiha, and Sakumo Hatake were the first to leave.

Approaching forty, Uchiha Mizumi looked sorrowful as she turned to Genichi under the tree: "Genichi-kun, now that Naraku has made his choice, I'm entrusting the future to you!"

Xuan Yi, standing under the tree, bowed solemnly and said, "Yes, Madam, I will not let Lang Yi down."

Uchiha Mizumi looked at Genichi Kishita with loving eyes, then turned and left.

Looking at this pitiful woman who had first lost her husband and now her only son, Genichi Shushita sighed inwardly.

The pain of losing his son was hard to bear, and all he could do was to take over from Uchihabo Ichi and care for him until his death.

The funeral is over.

Genichi Shushita and En Yamanaka also parted ways, and Genichi came to the river alone to sit cross-legged and cultivate, continuing the illusion technique development that had not been completed before.

A crucial aspect of most illusions is ensuring that the enemy is unaware they have fallen under their spell.

The Sharingan has an advantage in this regard, as it can silently activate genjutsu through its gaze.

Another aspect of illusion is that the illusions cast by the Sharingan often require an outsider to dispel them.

Of course, this is not absolute.

For example, when Tobirama Senju was affected by Izuna Uchiha's genjutsu, he was able to break free on his own.

For example, the Fourth Raikage was defeated by Madara Uchiha's genjutsu during the Fourth Shinobi World War, and could only be relieved by the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki.

At that time, the Fourth Raikage knew that he was under a genjutsu.

There are also illusions like the Magic Tree Binding Kill, the Golden Binding Technique, and the Dark Travel Technique. These types of illusions are all strong control illusions, meaning that the person affected is fully aware that they are under the spell, and they do not care about concealment.

However, knowing this doesn't necessarily mean you can break free. For example, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was unable to undo the Dark Walk Technique used by Tobirama Senju in Edo Tensei; he could only break the illusion by eliminating the caster.

Genichi Shushita is also gradually improving the precision of his Dark Walk Technique. When casting it on a single target, it can provide strong control, which is excellent whether he is fighting enemies or assisting his companions.

Losing one's sight doesn't necessarily render them powerless to resist, but it will still weaken their fighting ability.

Orochimaru, facing Itachi Uchiha's Binding Technique, knew he was under a genjutsu, yet was unable to break free.

Genichi Shushita wanted to create his own illusion technique.

One reason is that they want to discover their own talent for illusion.

Secondly, he wanted a powerful illusion spell that was very suitable for him.

Ideally, this illusion should possess both stealth and strong control.

Furthermore.

As a genius, how can he not have created a second ninjutsu besides the Rasengan and Water Release: Rasengan?
Moreover, deep down, Genichi Kishita didn't consider the Rasengan to be something he had developed, except for the Water Release: Rasengan.

Previously, the goal was to prove to the outside world that one was a genius.

Now, developing illusion magic is about proving to myself that I am a genius in illusion magic, and strengthening my inner resolve.

The deeper Genichi Kishita studied illusion techniques, the more he understood that illusion techniques were different from other ninjutsu.

The power of ninjutsu has three aspects: nature transformation, form transformation, and chakra quantity.

The power of illusion techniques can be said to have three aspects: first, the nature of Yin Release; second, mental will; and third, the amount of chakra.

The Uchiha clan's genjutsu is astonishing because the Sharingan itself is a powerful Yin Release bloodline limit, making it truly unique.

The more tomoe (comma-shaped markings) a Sharingan has, the more powerful its Yin Release becomes.

The key to countering illusion lies in two points.

The first is mental will, and the second is the amount of chakra.

The essence of illusion is the invasion of another person's chakra, interfering with the flow of their chakra, and thus creating illusions targeting the five senses.

This is the most basic definition of illusion.

So, genjutsu is ineffective against ordinary people? After all, ordinary people don't have chakra.

But apparently not.

The disruption of chakra flow is merely one manifestation of being under a genjutsu.

Because chakra is essentially formed by the fusion of mental and physical power, and the operation of chakra itself depends on a person's mental control.

First, a person's mental consciousness is affected by illusions. One of the five senses malfunctions, or all five senses malfunction. In some cases, Tsukuyomi, a terrifying illusion that targets a person's mental consciousness, causes the person to lose control of their entire mental consciousness.

As a result, the flow of chakra became uncontrollable and disordered.

It's not that the chakra was disordered, causing the genjutsu to occur; rather, the genjutsu caused the chakra to become disordered.

Similarly, the reason why genjutsu can be dispelled by restoring the flow of chakra is also related to the fact that chakra is essentially formed from mental and physical power.

Chakra itself carries the human spirit and consciousness.

Various clone techniques are based on this principle.

Why is chakra level key to countering genjutsu?

The key is that with a sufficiently large amount of chakra, one can easily modify their own chakra circulation system using their own abilities.

The concept of mental will is easier to understand; with a sufficiently strong mental will, illusions are nothing but fleeting illusions.

In the previous battle against the Cloud Ninja, Tsuchikage, a user of the Cloud Ninja's Lava Release technique, forcibly restored his chakra circulation with his powerful chakra to break free from the Illusion Tree Binding Technique.

Madara Uchiha was also a master of genjutsu, but he almost never used genjutsu when fighting Hashirama Senju.

Because Hashirama Senju had thick nerves, meaning he possessed a strong will and terrifying chakra, genjutsu, unless extremely powerful, had no effect whatsoever.

The reason why those resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation are completely unaffected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi is that their bodies are fake, or not integrated with their souls and consciousness.

In the end, the illusion technique Infinite Tsukuyomi is still about manipulating the five senses to create a realistic illusion.

Sorry, those reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation do not have the five senses.

This is why Kotoamatsukami is considered the strongest illusion.

Because Kotoamatsukami directly targets the mind and consciousness, or rather, the soul.

Even the Impure World Reincarnation technique cannot evade this illusion.

Unfortunately, illusions that directly manipulate the mind and consciousness are extremely rare.

In the ninja world, genjutsu (illusion techniques) are primarily designed to target the five senses.

For example, the Dark Walk Technique, Lightning Pillar, Fox Mind Technique, and the Here Not Technique all belong to the visual illusion category.

The Magic Tree Binding Kill is a tactile experience.

There are also illusions that immobilize the user, such as the Golden Binding Technique, which are basically tactile.

The technique that Itachi Uchiha used to instantly kill Orochimaru was a type of binding technique, which can also be described as a stun technique.

At this point, the only thing Genichi Shushita can do is use illusions that target the five senses.

Perhaps by obtaining the Sharingan, one could gain insight into the realm of genjutsu, which directly targets the mind and consciousness.

……

Before lunch, Sakumo Hatake appeared by the river.

Xuan Yi stood up under the tree: "Teacher."

Sakumo Hatake said, "Genichi, the Uchiha clan has no objection to you transplanting the Sharingan."

"In addition, the Third Hokage has already agreed to your request for leave."

Genichi Shushita quickly thanked him.

Now he can focus all his energy on his cultivation.

By March, Genichi Shushita believed that a huge harvest awaited him.
