Torture through illusion control.
Shōji also easily obtained the information he wanted from Kirigakure Jōnin. It can be said that illusion is definitely the most direct and sharpest of all torture methods, and Sharingan is the best among them.
As expected, this Sōta Jōnin is indeed an important figure in the Genji series. Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura had a reputation as early as the Third Shinobi World War era. Even if Sōta, the captain of the village garrison, was replaced, his prestige was hit to a certain extent due to the defeat. Karatachi Yagura also postponed this decision. After being controlled by Obito later, it became even more impossible to do this.
From Sōta, Shōji also further learned about the current situation of Kirigakure, and also roughly understood the dilemma faced by the Fourth Mizukage controlled by Obito.
"Haha, you really have no intention of covering up at all, Mr. Obito."
If Obito were not so unscrupulous, what they did was more obscure, and if Kirigakure was involved in power struggles for generations, it would be easy for Kirigakure to fall into a more chaotic internal fight., you can also easily drag Genji, the elder of the village, into the fighting Uzumaki Clan. Kiri Ninjas may not necessarily be so resistant to the strange behavior of their own Fourth Mizukage.
It can only be said that either Obito feels it is unnecessary, or Obito simply does not have the brains. Apart from the only remaining Mizukage diehards in Kirigakure, the remaining Kiri Ninjas are more or less beginning to doubt their own Fourth Mizukage.
Before Shōji dives into Kirigakure.
An assassination incident of Mizukage just occurred.
The leader is the one Demon Zabuza!
The waves this caused once again made Kirigakure dyed with a layer of scarlet color. From Sōta, Shōji could clearly understand that in the civil strife a few days ago, Kiri Ninja lost hundreds of people. Among the rebels, only Zabuza escaped.
There are also nearly a thousand ordinary people affected.
Because of this, Kirigakure has now completely entered the most tense and dangerous situation.
"Then it seems that the time chosen this time is quite good. I can go and meet that Lord Genji. I hope everything can go smoother!"
Shōji smiled slightly.
"Transformation Technique!"
Drag Sōta to the back bedroom.
Shōji also immediately Hand Seals used Transformation Technique to transform himself into the appearance of Sōta. Through some important personal information learned from Sōta, and after a little simulation and experimentation in the room, Shōji took on the face of Sōta.
"Whoosh"
His body straightened up.
He left this residence directly.
Rushing towards the location where Genji lives, although it is just the most ordinary Transformation Technique, but with the blessing of Shōji's current mental power, unless it is the one who possesses 'Byakugan's Kiri Ninja Qing, or a perceptive ninja whose perception is extremely sharp and can distinguish the breath of Chakra, otherwise it would be impossible for ordinary people to see through Shōji's disguise.
All the way.
Shōji also has no intention of covering up his figure.
Just choose the main road.
Not long after, we came to a deep mansion located on the southernmost side of Kirigakure. This is the residence of Genji. As a contemporary of First Mizukage, he can be said to be one of the greatest contributors to the establishment of Kirigakure. Genji plays a decisive role in Kirigakure. To put it bluntly, except for First Mizukage, the three Mizukage who succeeded one after another cannot compete with Genji in terms of prestige!
As long as Genji is here, even if Mizukages die in battle one after another, it will not really shake the foundation of Kirigakure. Even if Genji has deliberately and actively downplayed his presence in the village, influence and prestige are difficult to really downplay.
Ordinary Kiri Ninjas naturally don't need to say much.
Even Karatachi Yagura, as well as Second Mizukage and Third Mizukage who died in the previous battle, when facing Genji, no matter what their true thoughts are, they must maintain a certain degree of respect for Genji.
There is no one in Kirigakure that can match Genji in terms of qualifications and prestige, even if it is slightly inferior, Genji is The true living fossils in Kirigakure are nearly 80 years old now. Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and Third Tsuchikage Onoki are all juniors in front of Genji!
"Oh? Isn't this Sōta-san? Is there anything important that you come to Mr. Genji so late?"
The front door is close to the mansion.
Kiri Ninja, a young man in his twenties who was serving as a guard today, also emerged from the shadows when he saw the disguised figure of Shōji.
He looked at Shōji with a calm look and said.
"Oh? It's Hei Zhi. I do have something important that I need to see Master Genji immediately. It's related to the problem between the two tribes. I would like you to go and report it immediately!"
Seeing the face of the person who appeared, Shōji also deliberately used Sōta's previous tone, speaking in a very serious tone to the young Kiri Ninja in front of him, speaking in a low voice.
Kiri Ninja named Hirori didn't notice anything strange. When he heard Shōji's words, he also showed a dignified expression. Of course he understood Shōji's words very well. What do you mean by the two races? At that moment, Responded also nodded. "Oh, no problem, I will go and ask Master Genji for instructions, and please Sōta-san wait for a moment!"
"Yeah!"
Shōji also nodded slightly.
There is no intention to directly enter the mansion and wait. The Kiri Ninjas respect their Lord Genji very much. Except for the necessary guards, no Kiri Ninja will take the initiative to step into the interior of Genji's mansion without the order of their own Lord Genji.
Young man Kiri Ninja left quickly and came back quickly.
"Sōta-san, Genji has agreed to summon you, please come here!"
Just in less than a minute.
Pingwei returned to Shōji and said to Shōji with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Shōji also smiled and nodded slightly, and then the two of them stepped into the interior of the mansion together. Under the leadership of Ping Zhi, they passed through several corridors and arrived at the main entrance of a courtyard behind the mansion.
"Genji Master is already waiting for you inside, Sōta-san, then!"
After flatly bowing to signal, Hei Zhi also walked away.
Shōji is quietly spreading his senses, and can clearly detect that in addition to a very old aura inside, there are also several extremely powerful auras scattered in various locations.
Obviously Genji's close guard.
Each of these people's strength has reached the Jōnin level.
However, Shōji didn't care and strode towards the inside.
What came into view was an extremely old figure. The aura of decay conveyed by his body was so obvious. His trembling appearance seemed like he might kick off his legs at any time and reach the blissful west.
But Shōji, who is familiar with the plot of Original Work, knows very well that if no accidents occur, this figure can live for at least another ten years, making him the longest-lived person among contemporary Shinobi World!
And it is the veteran of Kirigakure - Genji!
"Meet Mr. Genji!"
Come to the closest position of Genji.
Shōji also knelt down on one knee and greeted softly with a hint of respect.
But it was just at the end of these words, when Genji's eyes slowly moved over, that he met Shōji's eyes.
Looking at the extremely cloudy eyes of the old man in front of him, Shōji was slightly startled, feeling as if he had been completely seen through.
'How is this possible? '
And it was just when Shōji had such a self-deprecating thought in his heart.
The next moment.
"You, aren't you Sōta?"
Genji was silent for a full three seconds, allowing Shōji to have some subtle feelings again. The next moment, Genji's words fell.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
On both sides.
Suddenly.
Seven or eight figures flashed out and stood in front of Genji. The strong auras and qi machines permeating each of them locked firmly on Shōji who was in the closest position for the first time.
The situation was suddenly reversed. Even Shōji inevitably showed a look of astonishment at this moment. What is it? Have you been seen through now? You didn't do anything, right?
Shōji couldn't help but be stunned at this moment.
It was only a second later.
Shōji just stand up.
There was a faint wry smile on his face.
"You are worthy of being the veteran who founded Kirigakure together with First Mizukage. I think my disguise is almost perfect. Genji-san can still see through my disguise. I wonder if Genji-san can tell me what went wrong?"
After all, he is not an enemy at the moment, and the old man is nearly eighty years old. Even when his identity is exposed, Shōji still looks at Genji in the first position with a touch of respect and says this.
When the Kiri Ninjas on both sides saw Shōji's move, they subconsciously planned to launch an attack.
"Stop."
But Genji also immediately ordered to stop these people, and then still looked at Shōji with his turbid eyes, smiled softly, and said slowly, "Young man, your Transformation Technique is indeed very exquisite, and he should be a person with a strong spiritual level and good at illusions, unless he is a ninja with extremely strong perception who can pass Chakra, it is really difficult for other people to see through your true colors under normal circumstances. I am really old and have no ability to see through your disguise. However, Transformation Technique can disguise everything, but it cannot disguise a person's eyes. I grew up watching that little guy Sōta. His character is something I, an old man, cannot understand better."
"And your eyes are too sharp. This is not Sōta's eyes at all, young man."
Eyes are the windows to the soul.
It was almost when I heard these words from Genji.
Such a sentence emerged in Shōji's heart, and he shook his head gently again, saying with a hint of distress, "It turns out that it was exposed because of this. There is really no way to do it. You are indeed Genji-san!"
Such a method of exposure.
Shōji There is really no way to hide it.
People can disguise many things, but it is difficult to make real changes in certain things such as temperament and personality. It is indeed difficult for ordinary people to see it, but in front of Genji, a kind of existence that can be said to be like an old fox among humans, people can easily distinguish it almost by instinct.
"Haha, after living for such a long time, I only have this little ability left. So, young man, can you tell me your identity and purpose? There should be nothing wrong with the child Sōta, right?"
Genji still had the same slow and careless look, but in fact, at that moment, Shōji could clearly sense a very faint aura of danger permeating from Genji!
After all, this is a man who can walk side by side with the former First Mizukage. Even though he has completely declined due to age, his peak strength was still at the Kage Level level. For ordinary people, the power Genji inadvertently revealed is powerful enough!
"Ah, this is rude to the junior. That Song Tai-san has nothing to do. I just ask him to have a good rest at home. Although there will be some residual effects due to the illusion, I can guarantee that there will not be any sequelae. I guarantee you in the name of the Uchiha clan. This is my first meeting, Mr. Genshi. Please give me your advice!"
Shōji smiled slightly, and then it was Transformation Technique that was lifted straight away. The appearance of the original image that appeared, it can be said that at that moment, the faces of the Kiri Ninjas on both sides suddenly changed when they saw Shōji's face and heard Shōji's words.
"Uchiha Shōji!?"
"Shinobi Asura!"
"Is it that guy!?"
The muscles all over the body became even more tense. They expected that the guy who could sneak into Kirigakure so openly must be a special being, but they really didn't expect that he would be such a ruthless person like Uchiha Shōji. Above Shinobi World today, Shōji's reputation is definitely the one with the greatest reputation!
In just two or three years, he led a clan to defect from Konoha, and then defeated Fourth Kazekage—Rasa head-on. Later, he also led Iwagakure Ninja to attack Konoha. These achievements all flaunted the power of Shōji.
"Genji Master, please retreat immediately, we will block this place!"
The leading middle-aged man with a lightning scar on his face said this to Genji in the back, and at the same time, an extremely powerful Chakra wave burst out from his body in an instant. This was almost as strong as Akatsuchi, and even slightly more powerful!
It also proves that the seemingly ordinary Kiri Ninja in front of him is definitely a strong man who has stepped into the Quasi-Kage level and is infinitely close to the Kage Level level.
'Hoo ho? '
This made Shōji raise his eyebrows.
But this is also normal. After all, he is one of the dignified Five Great Shinobi Villages. It is reasonable to have such powerful beings that surpass the ordinary Jōnin. Genji is the most respected person among Kirigakure, so he should have such strong protection.
"Stop it, shut it down!"
And just when the middle-aged Kiri Ninja was about to launch an attack directly, he was stopped by Genji again.
"But? Master Genji?"
Hearing Genji's words, Guan also stopped his movements subconsciously, but there was still a look of hesitation on his face, and he guarded Genji tightly behind him. Genji still shook his head firmly, and then stepped forward gently, looking at Uchiha Shōji who was not far away with a leisurely look from beginning to end. This one The elder of Kirigakure also said with a touch of admiration, "Shōji, as the most valued existence of Third Tsuchikage, has come at this point in time. We, Kirigakure, don't think we're here just because of my old bones that are about to be buried, right? If you have something important, you might as well be honest, Mr. Shōji."
"Yes, Your Excellency Genji, this is what I am looking forward to. However, what I am going to discuss with Your Excellency Genji is of great importance and cannot be easily known to others. I wonder if Your Excellency Genji can talk to me alone? This is related to the safety of your village!"
Shōji Shi Shiran smiled and said in a calm tone.
"Sir Genji! You must not be alone with this guy. There must be a scam here!"
The words fell at Shōji.
Not waiting for Genji's reply.
The faces of the Kiri Ninjas on the side changed.
Guan said this in a very urgent tone, while looking at Shōji in the opposite position with vicious eyes, as if Shōji was his biggest enemy.
"Guan, please step back first!"
However, Genji obviously did not listen to Guan's opinion. After a few seconds of silence, Genji slowly raised his eyes, took a deep look at Shōji who was still looking calm in the position not far away, and then slowly said such words that made Guan's face change again.
"Genji Master? But!?"
"Guan, this is an order!"
He didn't wait for Guan to continue saying anything.
Genji showed a rare look of sternness, and a hint of coldness emerged from his cloudy pupils.
"Yes, Master Genji!"
Guan's subsequent words were completely stuck in his throat, and he could only hold them back, then nodded heavily and bowed.
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
He took the other Kiri Ninjas on the side and left the place, hiding in the shadow corners around him again.
"Sa, please sit down, Mr. Shōji, let me, an old man, listen to you, why are you here?"
Genji also sat down again, then pointed to the cushion opposite him and looked at Shōji and said.
"Yes, then it's better for me to be respectful than to obey!"
Shōji also smiled slightly, floated, and sat directly in front of Genji.
"Let me get straight to the point, Your Excellency Genji, I came to your village this time for only one reason, and that is to come for your village's Fourth Mizukage. I believe that in the past two or three years, Your Excellency Genji should also have discovered the great changes in his own Mizukage. I can tell you what the reason is. It is very simple. Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura was no longer acting on his own will as early as two years ago or earlier. He had been controlled by others through illusions and became a puppet existence without any subjective will. I am here to assist your village and solve this incident. Of course, this is also closely related to our interests Uchiha Clan!"
He speaks loudly and does not need any euphemistic words. Shōji directly stated his intention for this trip as soon as he sat down. Anyway, his identity has been exposed, so there is no reason to make any reservations. As long as the interests are consistent, Shōji believes that the person in front of him, Genji, will make the most correct judgment.
"What did you say? Our Lord Mizukage is controlled by someone else? Mr. Shōji, do you understand what you are talking about!?"
Even with Genji's self-cultivation and tolerance, when he heard Shōji's words, his face suddenly changed, his cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce look, and his whole body seemed to be exuding a very dangerous aura at this moment.
"Haha, is it true or not? Don't you, Mr. Genji, still be able to tell for yourself? Mr. Genji personally watched Fourth Mizukage grow up, right? Don't tell me Mr. Genji that you have no doubts about the huge changes in personality before and after this. In the past two or three years, wasn't the civil strife in Kirigakure excessive? The destruction of the Kaguya Clan and Yuki Clan. Didn't Mr. Genji feel shocked or heartbroken at all?"
Although it is a bit exaggerated to say this, the status of the Kaguya Clan, Yuki Clan, and Hozuki Clan in Kirigakure is similar to that of Konoha Like Senju Clan, Uchiha Clan, and Hyuga Clan when was first built, it is truly the largest wealthy family in Ninja Village, Ninja Clan!
But now, among the three major Ninja Clan, Kaguya Clan and Yuki Clan have all been wiped out. As the most senior veteran, Genji is definitely lying if he has no feelings at all!
I had never thought of this possibility before.
But now when Shōji exposed it.
Combining what happened over the years, Genji really felt that it was like that, but it was only a second later.
"Impossible, Master Mizukage cannot be controlled. You must know that Master Mizukage is..."
Genji just shook his head decisively and rejected Shōji's words. Then as if he thought of something, his words stopped abruptly.
"Haha, you want to say that Master Mizukage is Three-Tails Jinchuriki. Although it is impossible to be controlled by illusion, right, but don't forget that there is a force in the world that can easily control Tailed Beast, not even Nine-Tails, let alone Three-Tails?"
"You mean!"
"Yes, that's our Uchiha Clan's Sharingan."
Shōji looked at Genji in the opposite position and said in a slightly lower voice. Mangekyō Sharingan originally had a strong restraint effect on Tailed Beast. Tailed Beast Jinchuriki in its heyday might still have the strength to resist. After all, Obito is not Madara, but in Original Work, Fourth Mizukage encountered the trio of Obito, Pain, and Konan outside the village. When they were seriously injured, it was completely impossible to resist the control of Mangekyō Sharingan.
"I see, are you Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan? And it also involves Nine-Tails. I understand what you mean!"
Although it is said that as long as human beings enter old age, the older they get, the physical functions, brain reactions and other aspects will gradually weaken.
But Genji is obviously an exception.
Even if the body's functions cannot go against common sense.
But in terms of brain, Genji is still as good as some young people, and he can make judgments in an instant.
That's why.
Genji showed a rare and dangerous expression at this moment.
"This is your Uchiha Clan's 'masterpiece'!"
