Izuna's Trial

"Don't be too happy yet. I said I'd consider it. The real test is coming up. If you fail, I won't go back, and I won't take your money," Uchiha Izuna said coldly.

Uchiha watched from the sidelines. He had already guessed that Izuna was worried about the clan. As for whether Izuna should stay or leave, it was up to him. Since his younger brother had come back to life, why force him to stay?

Uchiha Kō said with a serious expression, "Bring it on!"

Uchiha Izuna nodded. "Commendable courage, good, you have guts. The first test: defeat me."

Uchiha Kō was taken aback. This is simple. If I can't beat Madara, I can certainly beat Izuna! His eyes lit up as he was about to speak, but Uchiha Izuna's lips curled up in a smile.

"Defeat me in Genjutsu," Uchiha Izuna said calmly.

Uchiha Kō was taken aback. Apart from the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique, the Genjutsu recorded by the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju in the Book of Sealing, and the Genjutsu Sharingan in his Sharingan, he seemed to have never actually come into contact with Genjutsu before!

Uchiha Izuna's lips curled up. He had read the book about the first half of Uchiha Kō and realized that his junior's Taijutsu and Ninjutsu were undoubtedly excellent, but Genjutsu... well, how should I put it? Controlling the Five-Tails— that's Genjutsu?

(Five-Tails Kokuō: "&*￥$...")

Uchiha Kō was taken aback. Although Uchiha Izuna's combat strength was not as good as Uchiha's, his mastery of Genjutsu was superior to Uchiha's.

He was certain his grandfather wanted to rejoin the family, but starting with Genjutsu contest seemed a bit too much...

Uchiha Izuna looked at Uchiha Kō with scrutinizing eyes. If Owl backed down, he would leave with his older brother without looking back.

If he accepts, then Uchiha Izuna's test will be passed. As for whether he wins or loses, it doesn't matter. Uchiha Izuna will teach him Genjutsu. After all, he's his eldest grandson; if he doesn't spoil him, who will?

Uchiha also looked at Uchiha Kō. Even though he also possessed the Sharingan bloodline limit, Izuna's Genjutsu would pull him into the Genjutsu if he wasn't prepared, causing him a few seconds of confusion.

Little did they know that those few seconds could be fatal on the battlefield!

Uchiha Kō closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and looked up at Uchiha Izuna. "Grandpa, although I am not as skilled as you in Genjutsu, I will definitely bring you and Great Grandfather back to the village, back to the Uchiha!"

Uchiha was stunned. These words and this tone made him somewhat lost in thought. It seemed that a fool had once said something similar to him.

Aside from being foolish, he's alright in every other way, except he's too stubborn. If he had been willing to align himself with his own ideals, he wouldn't have left the village, and there wouldn't have been any other large or small ninja villages in the world.

Uchiha Izuna Senju? How could someone as intelligent and rational as him say such a thing?

"Enough talk, let's get started." Uchiha Izuna with his hands in his pockets and a look of disdain.

Uchiha Kō clapped his hands, a gesture that plunged Uchiha into memories. Uchiha Izuna was angry! Damn it, this guy is my grandson! Not Hashirama's grandson, wait? This Chakra circulation path...

"Damn it! You really know how to pick your Ninjutsu, always choosing the ones who killed my enemies, huh! You'll regret this, kid!" Uchiha Izuna was furious, and his Mangekyo appeared.

"Bringer-of-Darkness Technique!"

"Magic - Mirror World Turns!"

Uchiha Kō activated the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique, attempting to sever Uchiha Izuna's sense of touch and sight. But how could he possibly know about the bond between Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Izuna?

Senju Tobirama was a master of forbidden techniques. He claimed that his techniques were specifically designed to target the Uchiha Clan, but in reality, he drew inspiration from his midnight fantasies of fighting Izuna!

And Izuna? Although he didn't invent any forbidden techniques, he was able to fight Tobirama for so long. You might think he was simple-minded, but if Senju Tobirama was a master of forbidden techniques...

Then Uchiha Izuna is the master of deciphering. If it weren't for that white-haired guy Flying Thunder God for the first time and I wasn't careful, how could this have happened!

As for this Bringer-of-Darkness Technique? Heh, a piece of cake!

Uchiha Izuna used the Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Reversal, Ninjutsu unique to the Uchiha Clan, and its conditions were extremely demanding.

Breaking an enemy's Genjutsu on oneself and reflecting its effects back to the enemy is a type of Genjutsu reflection. It requires the Sharingan other, without the need for hand seals.

However, this technique has many limitations. The user needs to see through the enemy's Genjutsu instantly, and there needs to be a significant difference in strength between the users.

Furthermore, this technique is only effective against visual Genjutsu, not auditory Genjutsu, and is ineffective against opponents of similar strength. (Uchiha Itachi used it on Kurenai Yuhi, but Kurenai bit his lip and broke the spell.)

Senju Tobirama, I've already thoroughly studied his techniques. Even he wouldn't dare use the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique on me a second time!

You're a good kid.

Originally, in a battle of Genjutsu, Izuna's vision should have disappeared, but now it's the other way around. Uchiha Kō has lost his sight and touch, and he's covered in cold sweat, unable to see anything.

In terms of Genjutsu magic, Izuna is miles ahead of him!

"Kid, don't easily cast Genjutsu on a master of Genjutsu, or you'll get the effects of your spells reflected back." Uchiha Izuna snapped his fingers with a smile, and Uchiha Kō immediately felt a sense of clarity surrounding him.

"So, shall we continue?" Uchiha Izuna raised an eyebrow, looking at Uchiha Kō with a playful smile.

Uchiha Kō gritted his teeth. "Let's fight! Why not fight!" He seemed to have just grasped something.

Uchiha Izuna nodded. "Then let's continue." He snapped his fingers again, Mangekyō Sharingan appeared.

Uchiha Kō felt as if the sky around him had turned red, and he and Uchiha Izuna were standing on the vast grassland.

Then various wedges appeared, restricting Uchiha Kō's limbs.

Uchiha Kō was unable to move; Genjutsu is a contest of mental strength, not Chakra!

Uchiha Izuna patted Uchiha Kō's head and smiled, "Good boy!"

"Well, have you seen how powerful Grandpa is? This technique is called the Magic Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique."

"It's a unique Sharingan Genjutsu Sharingan Golden Binding Genjutsu, which is more powerful than ordinary Genjutsu. The person being captured will feel as if wedges have been driven into their limbs."

"Physical freedom is completely lost, accompanied by the illusion of physical pain, used for wartime torture."

"These things, you can definitely learn if you want to, but you've become arrogant and complacent. You think your Chakra and physique are much stronger than other ninjas, and that you can dominate the Ninja World just based on these things," Uchiha Izuna sneered.

"Am I right, grandson?" Uchiha Izuna seemed to see right through Uchiha Kō's mind.

Uchiha Kō remained silent. He truly believed that in the face of absolute power and the Mangekyō Sharingan, any Genjutsu was futile!

"Physical constitution, Chakra Ninjutsu, and mental Genjutsu —these three constitute the three paths of a ninja. If you think mental Genjutsu is useless, does that mean it really is useless?" Uchiha Izuna Uchiha Kō's hair.

He stood there laughing out loud.
