"What~~ was that... genjutsu?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi had never seen Mingyou's Kamui technique before, so he could not quite comprehend what was happening before his eyes.
Utatane Koharu shook her head slightly and explained, "Hiruzen, that was not genjutsu. It should be some kind of ocular ability that brat possesses."
