? The border of Land of Fire and Land of Grass.
Outside the endless forest, on the lush grass.
"Huh... huh... huh..."
Yu kept gasping for air and covered his forehead with a painful hand. It was very rare that fine beads of sweat appeared on his face. The grass and dozens of Cloud Ninja corpses around him were still there. Everything that happened just now seemed like a dream.
"What kind of technique is this? Shisui..."
Yu's face was a little pale, and his eyes looked at Shisui in front of him with some disbelief.
"Your spiritual power is so powerful..."
"How is that possible? A normal ninja should have passed out long ago..."
However, Shisui, who was standing opposite Yu, had the same unbelievable expression written all over his face at this moment.
"Kotoamatsukami·Light..."
"A Mangekyō Sharingan illusion that pulls the enemy's spirit into an illusion space completely controlled by oneself and causes great damage to it, and can instantly turn the enemy's spirit into dust..."
The black Tomoe in the shape of a square pinwheel in a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan gradually disappeared, and Shisui looked at Yu in front of him with an extremely surprised expression.
He did not expect that Yu's mental power would be so strong that he could withstand the devastating attack of the mental illusion spell cast by Mangekyō Sharingan.
In fact, from the moment when Shisui suddenly appeared in front of him very strangely after Yu had just dealt with the dozens of Cloud Ninja, Yu had a faint sense that there was something wrong with this matter, but he couldn't explain it at the moment.
Kotoamatsukami·Light?
Hearing Shisui's answer, Yu's face suddenly became clear. Ever since Shisui suddenly appeared very strangely after just finishing dozens of Cloud Ninja, he had faintly noticed that something was wrong.
It turns out that from the moment he killed dozens of Cloud Ninja, he had already fallen under the illusion of Shisui. Everything that happened just now was an illusion.
Shisui's words made Yu couldn't help but relive everything he had just experienced in the illusion space. It was not Tsukuyomi, but it was better than Tsukuyomi. Mangekyō Sharingan of Shisui indeed hid such an ultimate illusion.
If Shisui's purpose was not to make him unconscious and then bring Konoha back, perhaps his spirit would have been completely destroyed in the illusion space just now.
But it's no wonder that Shisui, known as the strongest genjutsu ninja, has always been a mysterious character even in anime.
"No, that's not right... there's still something unexplainable..."
"How on earth did you avoid my perception and suddenly appear in front of me and use illusions on me? This is impossible..."
After figuring out the cause and effect, Yu finally calmed down, but his eyes were still looking at the enigmatic Shisui in front of him with some confusion.
His Observation Haki was sensing the flow of chakra on Shisui's body the whole time. There was no reason why Shisui was using genjutsu and he didn't know it at all.
"Could it be..."
Yu suddenly opened his eyes wide, and he thought of an answer - Kotoamatsukami.
That's right, it's Kotoamatsukami. The only one that can achieve this magical effect is the ultimate illusion, Uchiha Clan's highest level illusion eye - Kotoamatsukami.
"You are really thoughtful, I can't hide this from you..."
Seeing the look on Yu's face, Shisui knew that he had guessed the answer, and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile, "Yes, it's Kotoamatsukami..."
"If I hadn't used Kotoamatsukami on you a long time ago, I wouldn't have been able to hide it from you and use illusions in front of you..."
This is crazy...
Hearing this, Yu couldn't help clenching his fists. It turned out that he had been affected by Kotoamatsukami without knowing it.
It's so terrible...
Yu stared at Shisui in front of him with some vigilance. What he had just experienced made him have to re-examine his definition of the "strongest genjutsu ninja" in front of him.
"When did it happen? I didn't even notice..."
Yubai was puzzled. He began to recall his past contact with Shisui. He asked himself that he had always been careful about Shisui's illusions. When getting along, he usually used Observation Haki to sense the flow of chakra between both parties. How could he still fall into Kotoamatsukami's illusions.
Could it be that time...
Suddenly, an idea flashed across Yu's mind like lightning.
"It seems you have remembered..."
Feeling Yu's somewhat vigilant gaze, the wry smile on Shisui's face became even brighter, mixed with a little guilt, "It was the last time you suppressed the rebellion of the Uchiha Clan, when the two of us were talking on the Naka River..."
"You are very alert. If there is a big deviation from your own will and thoughts, you will easily notice it... so I did not modify your other wills and thoughts."
"I used the Mangekyō Sharingan pupil technique of my right eye Kotoamatsukami to plant a subconscious mind in your brain so that the next time you see me, you will actively ignore my existence."
"I cast illusion on the basis of illusion, so I was able to avoid your perception and get close to you without being discovered by you. This created the conditions for me to use Kotoamatsukami·Light on you."
It was really that time...
Recalling the scene of him talking to Shisui on the Naka River after being ordered to Uchiha Clan Compound to suppress Uchiha Clan who was plotting a rebellion, Yu finally realized Satori.
"But why are you doing this?!"
After listening to Shisui's explanation, Yu said in a deep voice, with a kind of anger after being betrayed hidden deep in his eyes.
Kotoamatsukami is indeed the most terrifying illusion in the world. It can actually forcibly modify other people's will and thoughts without anyone noticing.
It was during the last conversation on the Naka River that Shisui used Kotoamatsukami to give Yu a subconscious instruction to ignore him next time they meet.
It was such a weak and hard-to-detect spiritual seed that Shisui temporarily became a blind spot in Yu's vision and thoughts. That's why Yu was suddenly attacked by Shisui without any warning and used the illusion - Kotoamatsukami·Light.
But what makes Yu really angry is that Shisui is his only close friend in Konoha, and he even went through life and death while performing a mission. Why did he use Kotoamatsukami on him at that time for no reason?
"I'm sorry, Yu."
Facing Yu's question, Shisui lowered his head in silence, with guilt hidden in his red eyes.
Secretly using an illusion like Kotoamatsukami on Yu, who he has known since childhood, is this not a kind of inner torture and suffering for him who usually cherishes his friends and companions the most?
"Yu, come back to Konoha with me..."
"I really hope you can look back, Konoha needs your power to protect..."
After struggling in silence for a moment, Shisui finally spoke.
"That's enough! Stop telling me this nonsense!"
"We have made these words clear enough in the illusion space just now!"
But before Shisui could finish his words, he was interrupted by an angry Yu.
"You still have one last chance..."
"Tell me why on earth you did this?!"
He looked at Shisui in front of him with complicated and wary eyes. Yu's tone gradually became colder. Shisui's current statement was clearly unexplainable.
At that time, when he was suppressing the Uchiha Clan rebellion, he had not shown any intention of breaking away from Konoha. How could Shisui use Kotoamatsukami on him for no reason? What kind of difficulties did Shisui hide behind this incident?
