"Here is... my world..." Countless black crows suddenly appeared in the blood-red sky, wheeling about before Itachi Uchiha and gathering before Neji Hyuga, who was crucified upon a cross.
Itachi Uchiha's pair of Mangekyō Sharingan spun eerily as they met the gaze of Neji Hyuga, whose arms were spread against the cross in the shape of a crucifix.
Neji Hyuga's own will and spiritual power were not particularly strong.
The will and spirit that made up Neji Hyuga consisted of the bare minimum of an ordinary person's spiritual will split off by He-El, the consciousness and thoughts of a clone cast in from the One Piece universe, and the thoughts of four-year-old Neji Hyuga from the native Naruto world.
Those three elements formed the current Neji Hyuga.
This trinity might have been able to face a three-tomoe genjutsu head-on, but against the far more powerful Mangekyō Sharingan and the Tsukuyomi cast by Itachi Uchiha, it was somewhat inadequate.
Head-on, Neji Hyuga's Yin Release power, spiritual power, and even ocular power were completely crushed by Itachi Uchiha on the level of genjutsu.
But it was only genjutsu.
His Yin Release power, spiritual power, and ocular power might have been inferior to Itachi Uchiha's in a direct confrontation, but that did not mean Neji Hyuga was truly at Itachi Uchiha's mercy.
"Genjutsu—the world of spiritual power. It could even be called the realm of the mind, the realm of the spirit. Yin Release creates form from the formless, a world shaped by your thoughts, a realm of dreams..."
Neji Hyuga expressed his approval of the Tsukuyomi created by Itachi Uchiha and nodded in praise.
Then, Neji Hyuga shifted the outcome of Itachi Uchiha controlling him through Tsukuyomi onto the thought pattern of the four-year-old Neji Hyuga within the trinity.
In other words,
