The Third Hokage's Apprehension

It had to be said that Itachi Uchiha's eye technique, known as [Tsukuyomi], was indeed remarkably powerful.

Even with Simu's current, terrifying soul strength, he still could not remotely force his clone to break free. This was vastly different from ordinary Genjutsu.

Within the illusion, one Itachi Uchiha after another appeared. Each held
