Su Nuo's Cursed Energy was pure Yin Release power, and he wanted to see whether the Kurama Clan could reach his level.
In this world, the energy used for genjutsu was Yin Release. The Sharingan, the Kurama Clan's Kekkei Genkai, and the soul all belonged to branches of Yin Release power.
Among them, the Sharingan was the closest...
But the Kurama Clan would later produce a genius like Kurama Yakumo, who could elevate the Kekkei Genkai.
An ordinary member of the Kurama Clan would merely improve their genjutsu, but after elevating it, that became Yin Power.
The entire world only had Yin Power and Yang Release. Later, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto would each possess one.
And Su Nuo had killed members of the Kurama Clan in order to capture their souls...
A clan specializing in genjutsu would naturally have genjutsu as its primary inherited secret art.
The Uchiha also possessed taijutsu and Fire Release as their two great secret arts. After awakening the Sharingan, genjutsu was merely one of their three great secret arts.
Although the Kurama Clan had fallen into decline by now.
Without awakening the Kekkei Genkai—they were ordinary people. They could not even qualify as Civilian Ninjas, because members of the Kurama Clan were generally frail.
After awakening the Kekkei Genkai—they became genjutsu-type ninjas. Even then, they needed to have a somewhat decent constitution. Those who were too weak could not become normal ninjas either.
Only the clan's geniuses could surpass non-genius ninjas of the Uchiha Clan who had awakened the Sharingan in the field of genjutsu.
This predicament was why the Kurama Clan had fallen into decline.
But... their genjutsu had still filled Su Nuo's current skill pool.
Moreover.
It was extremely useful!
At this moment, Su Nuo's vast Yin Release energy was actually very well suited to casting genjutsu.
Meanwhile, after Hyuga Shin returned to the Hyuga Family, the atmosphere among the branch family had also grown tense.
"Shin-san..."
"Shin, you're back."
"Did you hear? Someone from the Kurama Clan was killed..."
"I don't know who did it. Apparently, the Anbu are investigating."
"Konoha has guards on duty even at night. After all, this is wartime. What kind of ninja could avoid the countless hidden Anbu in Konoha?"
Hyuga Shin listened to the discussions of the other clan members.
An inexplicable thought surfaced in his mind—
A member of the Hyuga Clan could do it.
A Hyuga clan member with awakened eyes could completely sense the Anbu, avoid countless eyes in the darkness, sneak over to the Kurama Clan, and then massacre them...
"Hmm..."
Hyuga Shin rubbed his head.
Another person's figure flashed through his mind.
It was the figure of a man with a black strip of cloth wrapped around his eyes.
Who...?
Who was this?
Hyuga Shin had no clue at all.
Ryomen Sukuna.
A naturally gifted jujutsu genius.
The King of Curses from a thousand years ago, possessing four arms and two faces.
He had once annihilated both the "Sun Moon Star Advance Squad" and the "Five Void Generals," directly subordinate to the Northern Fujiwara Clan, and was therefore given the title "Ryomen Sukuna."
He had been invincible during the age of jujutsu sorcerers a thousand years ago, becoming the "strongest." He was proficient in jujutsu, movement, attack, defense, domains, Reverse Cursed Technique, contracts, and other jujutsu techniques, with no weaknesses whatsoever. He was a walking all-round powerhouse. Jujutsu sorcerers had once joined forces to fight Ryomen Sukuna, but without exception, they had all failed.
Obviously, Su Nuo was also a genius now.
The memories of those few members of the Kurama Clan who had awakened their Kekkei Genkai and gained the right to learn the clan's inherited secret techniques had already been thoroughly absorbed by Su Nuo.
"Genjutsu? Its method of operation is completely different from jujutsu. How interesting..."
Su Nuo raised his hand and let out a cold laugh.
The taste of the Kurama Clan members' souls had been quite good. Their quality was rather high.
At this moment, Su Nuo felt that he possessed roughly the power of two fingers.
Although that amounted to nothing in this world...
As long as he was sinister enough, Su Nuo could kill anyone.
After all, apart from a very small number of ninjas, most ninjas had high attack and high agility, but low defense and low health.
And Su Nuo's slashes were sinister beyond measure.
They had a standard zero-frame startup, followed by an extremely fast slash. In an instant, they could take the opponent's life.
Night fell.
The moon shone brightly, and the stars were sparse.
Hyuga Shin had already fallen asleep.
But in the next moment, Su Nuo had already taken control of his body.
Hyuga Shin currently believed he was asleep, but in reality, he could not even wake up if he wanted to. He had lost control of his body.
Hyuga Shin was not Itadori Yuji. In this regard, he had no power to resist at all.
"Tools of the trade..."
Su Nuo tied a strip of black cloth around his own head to use as a blindfold.
But beneath the blindfold, veins had already bulged.
Byakugan, activate!
Su Nuo then precisely avoided all the additional surveillance posts.
"The front line is in dire straits, while the rear is enjoying a feast~"
Su Nuo licked his lips.
But his gaze fell on one place...
The Hokage Office.
And there was the "Scroll of Seals."
In the original story, Naruto had been able to obtain the Scroll of Seals because of the Third Hokage's arrangements.
But now, Su Nuo needed to break in himself.
It was time to use the Kurama Clan's genjutsu!
The area around the Hokage Office was heavily guarded.
Anbu ninjas were concealed in every corner, forming a tight line of defense.
There was basically no possibility of sneaking in.
After all.
The Hokage Office was extremely important.
Besides the Scroll of Seals, it also contained the files of countless ninjas, along with their evaluations.
During the current wartime period, that information was probably among the highest-level intelligence available.
Su Nuo found an Anbu ninja with the Byakugan.
Then he rapidly formed hand seals, and a wave of energy spread out.
Kurama Genjutsu: Five Senses Manipulation!
The Anbu ninja's vision flickered.
In the next moment, Su Nuo appeared before him openly.
Yet the Anbu ninja continued calmly staring ahead, watching the Hokage Office.
In his eyes, everything was exactly as it had been before.
It was not only his vision—his sense of taste and all his other tactile sensations were also completely under Su Nuo's control.
"As expected... this is incredibly useful."
"Ultimately, a Kekkei Genkai is a collection of ninjutsu that does not require hand seals. It can be used simply by injecting energy."
"The Kurama Clan's Kekkei Genkai is equivalent to having a high-level ninjutsu installed—'Genjutsu: Five Senses Manipulation.'"
"And a Kekkei Genkai like the Sharingan is a collection of multiple effects."
"It is like a 'phone,' a collection of multiple 'functions.'"
After dealing with the first Anbu ninja.
Su Nuo controlled two more Anbu ninjas in succession.
Then he easily climbed into the Hokage Office through a small window.
The building was extremely quiet, but there were various traps as well.
Finally, Su Nuo arrived at the room where the Scroll of Seals was stored.
The room's door was tightly shut, and powerful Sealing Jutsu Arrays covered the surrounding area.
"A barrier within Fuinjutsu?"
Su Nuo looked at the seals and stroked his chin.
"Interesting... but this can't stop me."
One had to know that Sukuna himself also knew how to create barriers.
And Barrier Jutsu was also the foundational requirement for Domain Expansion.
Su Nuo sat cross-legged and began deciphering it by combining the knowledge in his mind.
After sitting for half an hour.
Su Nuo stood up.
He already had some leads.
It certainly lived up to the name of genius...
But Su Nuo felt that he could find a faster method.
And within Konoha, there were two places that possessed many secret sealing techniques.
The first was the Sarutobi Clan!
The second...
Was the Uzumaki Clan!
Nine-Tails Jinchuriki—Kushina Uzumaki!
