Little Stone had just gotten his new weapon, only to be taught a harsh lesson by Yichen, and he was very unhappy about it. He decided to try again and see whether there were any flaws in Yichen's genjutsu.
Of course there were flaws. First, it took too long to cast. Second, the consumption was too great.
Yichen also wanted to test whether he could kill an opponent while casting genjutsu.
Yichen had originally wanted the ninja caught in the genjutsu to kill himself, but that was unrealistic. With his current mastery of genjutsu, it was simply impossible.
However, he could maintain the genjutsu while knocking a piece of ore by his feet into Little Stone.
Yet the moment Little Stone was attacked, he immediately regained the ability to move.
"This..." Yichen was somewhat discouraged. It seemed he would have to prepare some special methods.
Sunagakure had quite a few puppet mechanisms. If he installed some mechanisms on his body to work in tandem with genjutsu, then although the enemy would break free from the illusion the instant they were struck, there was still hope of killing them if a single blow landed on a vital point.
What kind of mechanism should he make? After thinking for a while without coming up with anything, Yichen gave up. He was not an expert in this area, after all. Later, he could post a C-rank mission and ask someone for help.
