First Use of Five Senses Manipulation! Attempting to Seize the Scroll of Seals!

Suno's own Cursed Energy was pure Yin Release power. He wanted to see if the Kurama Clan could reach his level.

In this world, the energy used for Illusion Techniques was Yin Release. The Sharingan, the Kurama Clan's Kekkei Genkai, and souls were all branches of Yin Release power.

Among them, the Sharingan was the closest...

However, the Kurama Clan would later produce geniuses like Kurama Yakumo, who could sublimate their Kekkei Genkai.

Ordinary members of the Kurama Clan only had improved Illusion Techniques, but after sublimation, it became Yin Power.

The entire world only had Yin Power and Yang Release. Later, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto each got one.

And the reason Suno killed people from the Kurama Clan was to capture their souls...

As a clan specializing in Illusion Techniques, their primary inherited skills naturally were Illusion Techniques.

The Uchiha also had Taijutsu and Fire Release as their two major skills. After awakening the Sharingan, Illusion Techniques were just one of their three great skills.

Although, the Kurama Clan had fallen into decline now.

Without awakening their Kekkei Genkai – they were mortals. They couldn't even be Civilian Ninjas because members of the Kurama Clan were generally weak.

Awakening their Kekkei Genkai – they became Illusion Technique-type ninjas. This still required a decent physique, not too poor, as those with overly weak bodies couldn't be regular ninjas.

Only the geniuses among them could surpass non-genius ninjas with awakened Sharingan from the Uchiha Clan in the way of Illusion Techniques.

This predicament was the reason for the Kurama Clan's decline.

But... their Illusion Techniques still filled Suno's current skill set.

And.

They were very useful!

Currently, Suno's immense Yin Release energy was actually very suitable for casting Illusion Techniques.

Meanwhile, after Hyuga Shin returned to the Hyuga Family, the atmosphere in the Branch Family became tense.

"Shin-san..."

"Shin, you're back."

"Did you hear? Someone from the Kurama Clan was killed..."

"No one knows who did it. I heard the Anbu are investigating."

"Konohagakure has increased its night watch. After all, it's wartime. What kind of ninja could evade Konoha's many hidden Anbu?"

Hyuga Shin listened to the discussions of the other clan members.

An idea surfaced in his mind for no reason—

Hyuga clan members could.

Hyuga clan members with awakened eyes could completely sense the Anbu and, in the darkness, avoid countless eyes, sneak to the Kurama Clan's location, and then go on a killing spree...

"Hmm..."

Hyuga Shin touched his head.

The figure of a person flashed back in his mind again.

This figure was a man with black cloth wrapped around his eyes.

Who... ?

Who is this?

Hyuga Shin had no clues at all.

Ryomen Sukuna.

A natural genius of Cursed Jutsu.

The King of Curses from a thousand years ago, possessing four arms and two faces.

He once annihilated the "Sun Moon Star Advance Squad" and the "Five Void Generals" directly under the Northern Fujiwara Clan, thus earning the title "Ryomen Sukuna."

He was invincible in the thousand-year era of sorcerers, becoming the "strongest." He was proficient in Cursed Jutsu, with no weaknesses in techniques like movement, attack, defense, Domain, Reverse Cursed Technique, or Contract. He was a walking hexagonal fighter. Sorcerers once united to fight Ryomen Sukuna, but they all failed without exception.

It was obvious that the current Suno was also a genius.

Among the Kurama Clan, those few individuals who awakened their Kekkei Genkai and were able to learn the clan's inherited secret techniques, their memories had now been completely absorbed by Suno.

"Illusion Techniques, huh? A completely different operating method from Cursed Jutsu. Very interesting..."

Suno raised his hand and sneered.

And the souls of the Kurama Clan members tasted quite good, of high quality.

At this moment, Suno felt he had gained about two fingers' worth of power.

While this isn't much in this world...

Anyone could be killed by Su Nuo if the Yin Power is strong enough.

After all, most ninjas, except for a very small number, have high offense and speed but low defense and health.

And Su Nuo's slashes are incredibly potent in terms of Yin.

With a standard zero-frame startup, he delivers an extremely fast slash, capable of taking an opponent's life in an instant.

Night falls.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

Hyuga Shin had already fallen asleep.

But in the next moment, Su Nuo was controlling his body.

Hyuga Shin currently believes he is sleeping, but in reality, he can't even wake up, having lost control of his body.

Hyuga Shin is not Itadori Yuji; he is completely defenseless in this regard.

"Tools for the crime..."

Su Nuo tied a black cloth around himself, using it as an eyepatch.

But beneath the eyepatch, veins were already surfacing.

Byakugan, activate!

Su Nuo then precisely bypassed all the increased surveillance posts.

"The front line is tight, the rear is feasting~"

Su Nuo licked his lips.

His gaze, however, was fixed on one location...

The Hokage Building.

And within it, lay the Scroll of Seals.

Naruto originally obtained the Scroll of Seals through the Third Hokage's actions.

But now, Su Nuo needed to break in himself.

It was time to use the Kurama Clan's Illusion Technique!

Near the Hokage Building, security was extremely tight.

Anbu ninjas were hidden in every corner, forming a dense defensive line.

There was virtually no possibility of sneaking in.

After all.

The Hokage Building was of utmost importance.

Besides the Scroll of Seals, it contained the files of countless ninjas, as well as their evaluations.

In the current era of war, that information was likely among the highest-level intelligence.

Su Nuo used his Byakugan to detect an Anbu ninja.

Then, he quickly formed hand seals, and a wave of energy spread out.

Kurama Illusion Technique: Five Senses Manipulation!

The Anbu ninja's vision flickered.

The next moment, Su Nuo swaggered right in front of him.

However, the Anbu ninja continued to look forward calmly, monitoring the Hokage Building.

In his eyes, everything was the same as before.

It wasn't just sight; taste and all other senses were under Su Nuo's control.

"As expected... it's incredibly effective."

"Ultimately, Kekkei Genkai are simply a collection of ninjutsu that don't require hand seals; you just need to inject energy to use them."

"The Kurama Clan's Kekkei Genkai is like having a high-level ninjutsu, 'Illusion Technique: Five Senses Manipulation,' installed."

"And Kekkei Genkai like the Sharingan are a combination of multiple effects."

"It's like a 'mobile phone,' a collection of various 'functions.'"

After dealing with the first Anbu ninja.

Su Nuo controlled two more Anbu ninjas in succession.

Then, he easily slipped into the Hokage Building through a small window.

The building was very quiet inside, and there were various traps.

Finally, Su Nuo arrived at the room where the Scroll of Seals was stored.

The room's door was tightly shut, and the surroundings were covered with powerful sealing jutsu arrays.

"A barrier within a sealing jutsu?"

Suno looked at the seals, stroking his chin.

"Interesting... but this won't stop me."

After all, Sukuna himself knew Barrier Jutsu.

And Barrier Jutsu was a prerequisite for "Domain Expansion."

Suno sat down cross-legged, combining the knowledge in his mind to begin deciphering it.

After half an hour.

Suno stood up.

He actually had some ideas already.

Truly living up to his genius reputation...

But Suno felt he could find a faster method.

And in Konohagakure, there were two places with many secret sealing jutsu.

The first was the Sarutobi Clan!

The second...

was the Uzumaki Clan!

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki—Kushina Uzumaki!
