Conception of Genjutsu

"How is this possible!! My Body Flicker Blade Technique has never been taught to anyone else. Where did Yamei learn it from!?"

But he didn't have time to think further, Yamei was already attacking with immense power!

Body Flicker Blade Technique, a fusion of Body Flicker Technique and sword arts. Each part is not real, yet each part is real!

"No! This isn't Body Flicker Blade Technique! I can see traces of Uchiha Sword Style and other sword arts in it!"

As the two broken blades clashed, Shisui's expression grew more astonished.

He sensed that Yamei's Body Flicker Blade Technique was no weaker than his own!

And that wasn't all. The moment they collided! He felt a surging power constantly impacting him!

Yamei's sword arts were stronger than his! Not only were they fast and sharp! They were also imbued with a sense of heaviness and grand, sweeping movements!

Every time he thought he'd found an opening, he was blocked by a peculiar sword technique! In just a moment, he was at a disadvantage!

"This won't do! In terms of sword technique, I'm not his match!"

Shisui immediately pulled back, forming hand seals rapidly with both hands.

Yamei also formed hand seals, and both of them spat out fireballs simultaneously.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

The two fireballs collided and exploded in the air! Then, two figures, traversing the flames, slammed into each other fiercely!

A battle of flesh and blood, punch for punch! Pure, extreme physical output!

"Hahaha! Shisui! Don't think just because I'm young, my Taijutsu is weak!"

Yamei unleashed the Art of a Hundred Refinements to its fullest, clashing with Shisui!

In Shisui's eyes, he was still young, so his Taijutsu must be very weak!

But he never expected that his Taijutsu was enhanced by the Art of a Hundred Refinements!

However, he had to admit that his young age was indeed a disadvantage, and he was slightly outmatched in terms of strength. Fortunately, his Uzumaki Bloodline was decent, and combined with various Taijutsu techniques, he managed to hold his ground!

Furthermore, with his Byakugan activated, coupled with the Gentle Fist techniques from the Art of a Hundred Refinements, he even managed to put Shisui at a disadvantage several times.

"Yamei, you're truly a monster!"

After colliding and separating once more, Shisui couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Yamei's expression darkened, and he said with a huff, "I'll just take that as you praising me."

"I am praising you! It's hard to imagine! You're still so young, yet in Taijutsu, sword arts, and genjutsu! You're not inferior to a Jonin, perhaps even stronger!"

"Your Ninjutsu might have shortcomings, but your combat power has definitely reached Jonin level! If I don't use my trump cards, I might not be able to defeat you!"

"Once your body matures! Your strength will increase significantly again!"

Hearing Shisui's words, Yamei gained some understanding of his own combat effectiveness and showed a confident smile, "I'll take your good wishes."

Yamei stepped forward, extended his hand, and clasped Shisui's. Activating the Magic Hand, he said, "Think about it carefully. Contact me when you've made up your mind."

With that, Yamei turned and waved, "I'm leaving."

Watching Yamei's retreating back, Shisui shook his head and headed back towards the Uchiha compound.

The ninjas from Root and the Anbu also followed Shisui back immediately, their expressions unchanged... as if Yamei had never appeared.

"My combat experience is still insufficient. My Taijutsu combined with sword arts could have been a complete stomp, but... in actual combat, it tends to get fragmented..."

"And Ninjutsu, there were many opportunities to use it when creating distance, but I didn't seize them... It seems I need more battles!"

Yamei smiled wryly. Shisui saying he might not be able to defeat him was just politeness, Yamei didn't believe it.

However, after this battle, he was confident he could do better next time!

His gaze fell upon the Sea of Derivations.

The items he obtained from Uchiha Itachi last time had been integrated into their respective slots, and now another material had been added.

[Newly Acquired Material: Kotoamatsukami!]

"So... I can also obtain the dōjutsu of the Mangekyo Sharingan?"

Yamei's eyes were filled with joy. Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu! Uchiha Obito's Kamui!

As for Sasuke's Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi... they were just so-so.

"Analyze Kotoamatsukami!"

[Analyzing and deducing, estimated integration time for dōjutsu: 24 hours!]

[Note: Kotoamatsukami is a Mangekyo dōjutsu. It cannot be used before evolving into Mangekyo!]

"..." Yamei was somewhat speechless.

But Yamei was only speechless for a moment. I can't use it now, but that doesn't stop me from collecting it!

When I awaken my Mangekyo in the future! With several dōjutsu at my disposal! Plus the dōjutsu I awaken myself...

What do you call invincible? Hehehe!

"No, Kotoamatsukami is a genjutsu-type dōjutsu, just like Tsukuyomi... Does that mean I can integrate Kotoamatsukami and Tsukuyomi into Mist Veil Moon??"

Yamei quickly inputted this idea into the Sea of Derivations, and the Sea of Derivations soon provided a specific answer.

[It can indeed be fused. However, after fusion, Kotoamatsukami's ability to change people's thoughts will be dispersed! It won't be able to directly change them, only subtly influence them within genjutsu...]

[But it eliminates Kotoamatsukami's side effects. If Tsukuyomi is continuously derived, there's even a certain probability of strengthening it and reaching the point of using illusion to reverse reality.]

[However, this will change the foundation of Mist Veil Moon's genjutsu to these two dōjutsu, Tsukuyomi and Kotoamatsukami. In the future, to exert the maximum power of genjutsu, you will only be able to do so by using your eyes.]

Looking at these analyses, Yamei understood and immediately inputted another question: "How much power will be reduced if I don't use my eyes?"

[Using it without your eyes reduces power by thirty percent. Using the Sharingan reduces it by fifteen percent. Using the Mangekyo Sharingan or higher does not reduce it.]

"Acceptable!"

Yamei felt greatly relieved! It's only thirty percent! In the future, after integrating Tsukuyomi and Kotoamatsukami, his genjutsu power will increase several times compared to now!

Losing thirty percent on this foundation... it's practically a steal! Not to mention that using the Sharingan only reduces it by fifteen percent!

"Change the path, integrate Kotoamatsukami into Mist Veil Moon!"

[Path change successful. Estimated derivation duration: 24 hours.]

Yamei glanced at the analysis panel with a grin, thinking to himself, Itachi, hurry up and awaken your Mangekyo Sharingan. I remember you awakened it after Shisui died, right? I can't wait for your Tsukuyomi.

As he thought this, Yamei suddenly remembered a few other people: Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Madara! And Nagato!

Uchiha Fugaku's Mangekyo Sharingan ability... it seems no one has ever mentioned it! And he doesn't seem to have any opportunity to interact with him...

As for Uchiha Madara's dōjutsu abilities, he only knows that the Rinnegan's ability is Limbo: Border Jail. He really doesn't know much about his Mangekyo Sharingan.

As for Nagato, he's just someone who lends his eyes to others. Can he get the Rinnegan's abilities from him?

Besides the Rinnegan's abilities, Nagato doesn't have much else that's good... The Uzumaki Sage Body is one thing...

Shaking his head, Yamei stopped thinking about it. He would naturally find out when he had the chance to interact with these people.

He returned home, had a satisfying meal, and after some casual training, Yamei began to rest.

For the next week, Yamei spent his time attending school, sleeping in class, teasing Ino and Hinata after class, and training after school.

As for materials, he acquired a Shadow Clone Technique and a Perception Transmission.

The former was obtained from Naruto, and the latter from Ino. Its main purpose is to transmit sensory information to allies for shared viewing.

In addition, he gained two more points in Taijutsu and two more points in Chakra.

Perhaps, after learning all the Yamanaka Clan's secret techniques from Ino, I can fuse them into a chat group?

Yamei's imagination ran wild. After all... the Fourth Great Ninja War was something similar, wasn't it!

"Ino, oh Ino, you have to study hard!"
