It was night, and a cool breeze blew past.
Two figures, one big and one small, were sitting opposite each other on the riverside lawn.
"The so-called Genjutsu is a type of Yin Release. It uses mental energy and Chakra to interfere with the opponent's five senses, causing them to fall into an illusion!"
Although he still didn't like Shushi, True Red Sunset didn't hide anything from him. He did his best to explain illusions to Shushi.
"In other words, Genjutsu can be divided into visual, auditory, olfactory, taste, and tactile senses?" Garashi asked as he lifted his chin.
"Eh? There's such a thing? "Shinku's eyes lit up.
Ninjas didn't have a high level of basic knowledge, and most of it was still at the elementary level. Even the simplest division of knowledge was rarely done.
"Indeed, in the past, Genjutsu was said to interfere with the five senses, but it was more based on visual, auditory, and tactile senses. Relatively speaking, there's almost no Genjutsu that targets smell and taste. If we can develop a Genjutsu that targets these two senses, perhaps in the next war, the other villages …"
"Shinku senpai, Shinku senpai!" Seeing that Shinku had fallen into an endless fantasy, Garashi could only remind him.
"Ah?" Shinku woke up and saw Garashi's strange expression. He felt a little awkward, but in order to maintain his dignity, he forced himself to explain, "Do you see? A truly powerful Genjutsu Ninja has to be like me. "
Garashi didn't expose him and nodded in agreement.
Genjutsu was something that required imagination.
"Before I officially guide you in Genjutsu, I'll first teach you how to break it." Shinku's expression was solemn, "Only by understanding the weaknesses of Genjutsu will you not be targeted on the battlefield."
"There are two ways to break Genjutsu. One is to disrupt the flow of Chakra in your body, and the other is to let others disrupt the flow of Chakra in your body. It's important to note that only the second method is effective for Dojutsu Genjutsu. Therefore, when the enemy is an expert who uses eye techniques to cast illusions, you must not face the enemy alone. "
Although he was the strongest Genjutsu Ninja in Wood Leaf, he would never be able to reach the heights of those Genjutsu Ninjas in history.
Because of that, he was overjoyed after discovering Red's Illusion Talent. He wanted to prove that a person's talent and hard work could break the rule of bloodline.
Garashi didn't pay much attention to Shinji Kurenai's disappointment. Instead, he asked, "Disrupting the flow of Chakra in your body? Wasn't that essentially controlling the body? If I can control my body perfectly, does that mean that I'm immune to the first type of illusion? "
Shinku paused for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. "You're not wrong, but this is something that only the God of Ninjas like the First Hokage can do."
Garashi didn't comment, but in his heart, he thought, "Perfect control of my body, the Hachimon Tonkou?"
Garashi wasn't as enthusiastic about the Hachimon Tonkou as some of his "seniors". He was very clear about his own advantages, talent, thinking, learning ability, and so on. However, these were not very useful for the Hachimon Tonkou.
Spending twenty years to obtain a moment of brilliance wasn't worth it for a genius. At least in Garashi's view, he had more ways to obtain this level of power.
However, this didn't mean that Garashi didn't value the Hachimon Tonkou.
What he wanted to do was to walk the path of the lower levels of the Hachimon Tonkou.
For example, opening two or three Gates in his body, repairing the damage caused by the Hachimon Tonkou with medical ninjutsu, and then storing the excess Chakra in the Yin Seal. In times of crisis, he could even use Creation Rebirth to open more Gates.
The difficulty of realizing this dream was that he had to repair the Gates in his body all the time. This not only required a high level of Chakra control, but it also required him to be able to do two things at once.
In addition, the cultivation of his physique was also very important. The stronger the body, the less damage caused by the Gates, and the less Yang Release Chakra would be used to repair the body. Otherwise, the Chakra released from the Gates might not be enough to repair his body.
Shinku didn't know that Garashi was still thinking about Taijutsu in his illusion class. After a little sigh, he said, "The strength of an illusion mainly depends on two aspects. The first is the strength of one's spiritual will, and the second is the authenticity of the illusion."
"Do you know why the illusions of those with strong eye techniques are stronger than those of ordinary people?"
Garashi also withdrew his divergent thoughts and answered without hesitation, "Eye techniques don't require any hand seals, and are more convenient to hide than ordinary illusions."
Shinku nodded in agreement and asked, "What else?"
Garashi pondered for a moment and asked, "Can the eyes be used as amplifiers to enhance the spiritual strength of illusions?"
"Amplifiers? That's an interesting way to put it. " Shinku Kurenai sighed, "Genjutsu ninjas like us spend a lot of effort to create realistic illusions, but in the end, we still can't compare to the simple illusions created by Dojutsu ninjas. The reason is that their spiritual source is much stronger than ours."
Shushi nodded gently. Indeed, the strength of one's Spirit Origin was unreasonable.
Just like Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi, it clearly created a completely illogical world, and the enemy knew immediately that they were in an illusion, but they couldn't break free.
According to Garashi's understanding in his previous life, this was like the saying in Xianxia novels, "One Strength Breaks All Spells". No matter how crude the illusion was, if one's spiritual strength wasn't strong enough, they wouldn't be able to break free.
However, it wasn't entirely true that the authenticity of illusions was very important. The best proof was the Infinite Tsukuyomi, an ultimate illusion that could create realistic illusions that could pull people in the entire world into an illusion and make them lose themselves in it!
Thinking of this, Garashi asked, "Shinku senpai, is there no way to increase my spiritual strength?"
"Increase my spiritual strength? I've never heard of such a thing, but … "Shinku shook his head and said with some hesitation," Legend has it that Shodaime-sama's spiritual will was so strong that he could interfere with reality, but he didn't seem to have such power in the beginning. If you think about Shodaime-sama's experience of pacifying the Warring States Period, perhaps the method is to experience the baptism of war or the baptism of life and death, and from there, comprehend faith and strengthen oneself. "
Garashi nodded thoughtfully. It was precisely because he knew more than Shinku that he placed more importance on spiritual growth. For example, Asura Indra's spiritual will caused his Chakra to reincarnate several times, and Hagoromo Senpai lived in a soul state between life and death, and even pulled the souls of the Village Kage back to the real world with his own strength.
That kind of mental strength was simply unimaginably strong.
"Chakra, spiritual strength, soul … Perhaps I need a technique that can touch the essence of the soul!"
Seeing that Garashi was silent, Shinku thought that Garashi was affected by the limitations of illusions. "Cough cough, actually, you don't have to be too depressed. Just like a person's talent, you still have to rely on yourself to discover your own potential. Otherwise, why didn't the title of Wood Leaf's strongest Genjutsu Ninja fall into the hands of those Dojutsu Families?"
Although Garashi didn't drink Shinku's chicken soup for the soul, he still pretended to be encouraged. "I understand, Shinku senpai."
"Mhmm, next is the beginner level of Genjutsu cultivation. D-grade Genjutsu — Magical Illusion — Naraku Jutsu. The hand seal is Mao-Sis-Wei. Feel the terror of Genjutsu …"
