China's first specialized treatise on illusion techniques was the Ming dynasty's Immortal Arts of the Gods, which recorded over twenty ancient illusions. Unfortunately, this book has been lost. The true comprehensive work on Chinese illusions is The Goose Illusionary Book by Tang Zaifeng of the late Qing dynasty.

Ming Jing's current body was still a child, so after watching the Nine-Tails Fox Demon rampage for a while, he went to rest. Koji Kurama (the clan head of the Kurama Clan—since no name was found, one was made up) ordered two maids to take Ming Jing away, while he continued standing outside, watching Konoha from a distance.

When Ming Jing woke up the next morning and saw two adorable maids kneeling at his door, he realized he had really transmigrated.

"Young Master, good morning!" the two maids lowered their heads and greeted softly.

"Good morning. Has the Clan Head gone out?" Ming Jing smiled and nodded. After being a loser for nearly twenty years, suddenly becoming a young master, he felt he should enjoy this for a few more days before spreading the transmigrator's creed of "equality for all beings."

"The Clan Head took the clan's ninjas to assist in the village's disaster zone last night," replied the maid on the right, named Mina.

"I see. Let's go see the Matriarch!" Ming Jing stood still, but his eyes were fixed on Konoha, now a pile of rubble in the distance. This might just be an opportunity!

With the two familiar maids leading the way, Ming Jing easily arrived at Mai Kurama's room. The beautiful woman held a cute baby in her arms, her face glowing with maternal radiance.

"Ming Jing pays respects to Aunt!" Ming Jing thought for a moment. Suddenly kneeling on the ground to talk to a stranger was a bit difficult for him! So he decided to follow Huaxia etiquette and bow to his elder with cupped hands.

"Oh my! Ming Jing, good morning! Yakumo, say hello to your brother!" Mai Kurama smiled with a warm, motherly expression, lifting little Yakumo's hand and waving it at Ming Jing.

Ming Jing smiled back at little Yakumo. "This child is very well-behaved!"

"That's because such a big incident happened in the village last night. The child was so scared she only fell asleep late at night, so now she has no energy to fuss." Saying this, Mai Kurama couldn't help but sigh. "The village's losses this time must be severe... I wonder how things are going..."

Hearing Mai Kurama's words, Ming Jing sighed inwardly. It seemed the Kurama Clan's situation was worse than he had imagined! With such a major event happening so close to their own stronghold, the clan didn't even have specific intelligence...

"The village has the Third and Fourth Hokage. I think there shouldn't be any major problems," Ming Jing comforted her. For now, he would just act like he had absolute trust in the Hokage.

By evening, Koji Kurama returned with over a dozen clan ninjas, all of them exhausted and panting. After washing up and changing clothes, Koji Kurama told Ming Jing that they had been doing manual labor in the village all day, which was indeed quite tiring for the Kurama Clan, who only specialized in illusions.

Ming Jing took this opportunity to ask Koji Kurama if he could learn to refine Chakra. Koji Kurama laughed heartily and immediately demonstrated how to refine Chakra on the spot.

In the following days, Koji Kurama continued helping the village recover. Ming Jing stayed home quietly refining Chakra. In truth, Ming Jing's talent was not outstanding. It took him nearly a week to refine a single strand of Chakra, which was pitifully weak compared to other transmigrator predecessors!

But even so, Ming Jing was still very happy. This was Chakra! A supernatural power! That night, he was too excited to sleep, constantly feeling the power within him, only dozing off as dawn approached.

However, Ming Jing didn't know that after he fell asleep, the entire Kurama Clan was alarmed.

In his dream, Ming Jing seemed to be back on the bus seat. The old man was still sitting beside him, looking at him with a kind smile.

"Old man, who exactly are you?" Ming Jing looked around and noticed everyone was frozen, as if time had stopped.

"Is who I am important?" the old man asked back.

"Then, in your opinion, what is important?" Ming Jing sighed. He hated chatting with people who were so profound.

"Of course, the title of 'Strongest Illusionist' is important!" Saying this, the old man straightened his back, and a domineering aura of "it's me or no one" burst forth from him!

Ming Jing was stunned! Were all experts nowadays so eccentric? Not only did they not have a special car, but they actually squeezed onto the bus?!

"So, I tricked you into the Naruto world. Kid, let those natives see what real illusions are! I now pass on to you a peerless divine technique—The Goose Illusionary Book!" As the old man's words fell, Ming Jing's mind suddenly filled with a wealth of content: Hundred-Step Lamp Extinguisher, Egg Carving, Tea Clouds, Dragon in the Tea, Leaf Bloom, Finger Shatters Stone, Catch Sparrow, Fish Come, Water to Wine, Horse on Water, Frog Teaches, Ant Formation...

A full one hundred and eight illusions!

And all these illusions shared one common trait: none required Hand Seals!

In other words, each one was at least a B-rank illusion!

Take Hundred-Step Lamp Extinguisher (Silk Method), for example. It sounded quite ordinary. In the Naruto world, "lamp" referred to the hand seals of a technique, and "hundred steps" meant the range of one's line of sight. In other words, as long as someone appeared within Ming Jing's line of sight, he could interrupt their ninjutsu with this illusion!

This was practically the natural enemy of ninjutsu-type ninjas!

Beyond that, there were also the Six Gates Arts: Hand Technique Gate, Silk Hair Gate, Colored Hair Gate, Transport Gate, Medicine Technique Gate, and Talisman Technique Gate. All in all, Ming Jing had hit the jackpot this time. As long as he mastered The Goose Illusionary Book, not even Madara Uchiha, or even Kaguya Otsutsuki herself, would make him back down!

"Hahaha... From now on, I am the Grandmaster of illusions in the Naruto world!" Ming Jing couldn't help but laugh triumphantly at his own brilliance.

In the Naruto world, after Ming Jing fell asleep, his face grew increasingly red. Mina and Momoe noticed something was wrong and immediately notified Mai Kurama.

Mai Kurama rushed over with little Yakumo in her arms. Seeing this, her heart leaped with joy—this was a sign of the Kurama Clan's Bloodline Awakening! She said to Mina, "Go inform the Clan Head immediately. Tell him the Young Master is about to awaken!"

"Yes!" Mina understood the gravity of the situation and ran out at once.

Koji Kurama was in the village directing the clan members in clearing debris when he heard Mina's report and rushed back. As soon as he entered, he shouted, "How is Ming Jing?"

The clan's most senior elders had also arrived. They had witnessed Kurama clan members awakening before. After observing for a while, the elders conferred among themselves and confirmed that Ming Jing's condition was a rarer type of Bloodline Awakening, but there was no danger.

So when they heard Koji Kurama's shout, one elder stepped forward and replied, "Rest assured, Clan Head. The Young Master's condition is stable. He should wake up by tomorrow at this rate. Clan Head, our Kurama Clan finally has hope!" The elder's voice trembled as he spoke. He had witnessed the Kurama Clan's glory days—a prestigious clan that once rivaled the Uchiha Clan. After all these years, they finally had someone whose bloodline had awakened!

"Yes... Finally, there is hope!" Koji Kurama let out a heavy sigh. After so many years, the Kurama Clan finally had someone who could use the Control of the Five Senses!

Little brother, you really gave me a great gift!

Koji Kurama looked up at the sky, as if he could see his naturally confident younger brother...
