"The target is skilled in Genjutsu. You will go in groups of three, maintaining a certain distance from each other, and constantly monitor your teammates' condition!"

"If anything happens, don't try to handle it alone. Be sure to set off fireworks and call for everyone's help!"

"He was able to abduct the Hyuga clan's eldest daughter without a sound under the watchful eyes of two Byakugan, and he could also abduct any one of you without a sound!"

Sarutobi Kou, who had recently taken office, was also assigning tasks to his new subordinates. The newly formed Security Force had a complex composition.

There were members of the Sarutobi Clan who came to help Kou, as well as members from other ninja clans, and the majority of the rest were disgruntled civilian ninjas, mostly Chunin and Genin.

While they were adequate for maintaining public order, they completely lacked the scale and combat capability of the original Security Force. When facing more severe missions, they could only assist.

The Third Hokage was also assigning tasks to the Anbu. His work was relatively easier. He

dispatched nearly half of the Anbu who had no other missions, designated their patrol areas and reporting times, and then quietly waited for further news.

After Hyuga Hiashi brought Hyuga Yue and Hanabi to him, he also left in a hurry. He needed to return to the clan, issue the order to search for Hinata, and at the same time protect himself.

After all, he still had his pride and couldn't stay in the Hokage's office like Hanabi, accepting the Hokage's protection.

Now, only one old man, one adult, and one child remained in the entire Hokage's office. Sakura had also been brought over by Hiashi, but she was picked up by her family within a few minutes.

Still a student at the Ninja Academy, she received no punishment, only immense self-blame for not being able to protect Hinata.

After continuing to review a few documents, Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his pen, raised his head, and looked at Hyuga Yue, who was sitting on the sofa beside him. The latter was looking down at Hyuga Hanabi in her arms, lost in thought.

"This is a Genjutsu invented by Uchiha Jie, isn't it?" the Third Hokage broke the silence, asking softly. "Your teacher told me about it, a Ninjutsu that uses lenses to create illusions. It doesn't invade one's mind, it only affects vision?"

"It's very hidden and difficult to detect. It's said that he has tricked many people with this Ninjutsu, and even Three Tomoe Sharingan have difficulty seeing through it."

"Yes, this is the Genjutsu he has been using since his Genin days." Hyuga Yue looked at some glass lenses the Hokage had taken out and nodded.

"At first, he just used Ninjutsu to create one or more very large mirrors to confuse enemies. Later, he modified it so that by throwing out a few scrolls, illusions could be formed." she continued.

"The illusions form much faster than Clone Technique and Transformation Technique. It doesn't require the ninja's own chakra and doesn't need hand seals. Combined with other props, it can produce various sounds and effects, making it very suitable for creating traps or for ambushing others."

The Third Hokage nodded and asked, "Can you use this Ninjutsu?"

Hyuga Yue shook her head and explained:

"This isn't really a Ninjutsu. Anyone who gets the scrolls made by Jie can use it. You just need to inject a little chakra into the scroll before battle and then throw the scroll on the ground."

Perhaps finding it too troublesome to explain, Hyuga Yue directly took out a scroll from her pocket and threw it on the ground.

The moment the scroll touched the ground, a Hyuga Yue dressed completely differently appeared in the Hokage's office.

The illusionary Hyuga Yue was wearing a form-fitting outfit suitable for combat, holding a short sword shimmering with blue light. The blade was covered in peculiar patterns. She wore loose trousers and fingerless ninja boots, with a close-fitting chainmail underneath the trousers. Two sharp daggers were tied to the inner side of the ninja boots.

Overall, she looked more heroic than the Hyuga Yue currently holding Hyuga Hanabi. This was her combat attire.

The Third Hokage stood up and carefully examined the illusion, then looked around at Hyuga Yue.

Hmm, it seems a little different.

He felt that the Hyuga Yue now, wearing a white robe and holding little Hanabi, looked a bit older. Perhaps it was the difference in clothing, or the difference in identity?

But as an old ninja with integrity, the Third Hokage ultimately did not ask.

"I have two more scrolls, both containing illusions of myself," Hyuga Yue took out two more scrolls and showed them to the Third Hokage.

"Then who do you think could use this technique now?" the Third Hokage asked.

Hyuga Yue paused, then slowly said, "Jun'o told me that the illusion of the eldest daughter is exactly the same as the eldest daughter today, with no difference. So it's definitely not a pre-made scroll like the ones I have."

"To create such a scroll, the lenses and the core are the most crucial parts."

Hyuga Yue picked up a spherical piece of glass from the scroll on the ground. The moment she picked up this piece of glass, the entire illusion disappeared.

"This core requires the powerful vision of the Sharingan to engrave its extremely fine details, and also requires good Genjutsu talent to construct the final presented image."

The Third Hokage frowned. Hyuga Hiashi had asked Hyuga Yue to bring his daughter, so she certainly wouldn't be the prime suspect. Moreover, the entire Hyuga branch family was under Hyuga Hiashi's control.

The inventor of this Ninjutsu had already been turned to ashes by Uchiha Itachi. The soil on the urn was still fresh, and not even grass had grown yet.

And according to Hyuga Yue, even if someone obtained the method of creation, they would still need the Sharingan to complete it. Currently, the only person in Konohagakure who could awaken the Sharingan was lying unconscious in the Konoha Hospital.

No, within Konohagakure, besides Sasuke Uchiha, there was another person who possessed the Sharingan, and a very large number of them at that.

This person had also inherited the legacy of the Uchiha clan. It was possible for them to find the method of using this technique from various scrolls.

Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped the table, and an Anbu suddenly appeared in the room.

"Please invite Elder Danzo to the Hokage's office," he commanded.

Not long after the Anbu he dispatched left, another Anbu belonging to the Barrier Team suddenly appeared in the room.

"Lord Hokage!" he reported, "The barriers at Training Ground 11, Training Ground 31, and the southwest of the Forest of Death have been forcefully broken through and left the village!"

"The Inuzuka Clan and their ninja hounds have already pursued the enemies who left the Forest of Death. At Training Ground 11, the Anbu Third Squad is already in pursuit. At Training Ground 31, it's Might Guy who is chasing!"
