Moon Fang Sky Strike

"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the main branch mission is complete!"

"Experience a Sharingan's genjutsu (1/1), completed, reward: Reiatsu +5, Hollowfication Experience +2!"

"Break a Sharingan's genjutsu (1/1), completed, reward: Reiatsu +5, Hollowfication Experience +2!"

Hearing the system prompt, Chen Xiaoxi's heart stirred slightly, and a smile appeared beneath his mask.

That's right.

Chen Xiaoxi had indeed fallen into Itachi Uchiha's Sharingan genjutsu.

Moreover, it was Itachi's very familiar "Genjutsu: Golden Binding Technique." At that moment, Chen Xiaoxi only saw blackness before his eyes, his body feeling as if it were fixed by golden pillars, completely unable to move.

However, after just a moment, Chen Xiaoxi directly unleashed the Shinigami Reiatsu he had been suppressing, instantly shattering the genjutsu!

The Sharingan's genjutsu, in essence, interfered with the mind through chakra.

However, within Chen Xiaoxi's body, there existed two soul natures simultaneously—

Shinigami and Hollow!

Although Chen Xiaoxi was currently in his Masked State, this form was, in essence, the Shinigami's soul borrowing the Hollow's power!

Therefore, Itachi had only manipulated Chen Xiaoxi's Shinigami soul.

The Hollow soul within him could still think and act completely under the genjutsu.

Just as a perfect Jinchuriki could use the Tailed Beast to break genjutsu, Chen Xiaoxi could also directly break the Sharingan's genjutsu by utilizing the existence of his Hollow soul.

This was a very simple principle.

However, one point that surprised Chen Xiaoxi was, he hadn't expected that after completing these two branch missions, besides the basic Reiatsu rewards, there would be additional Hollowfication Experience rewards. It was likely related to his current Hollowfied state entering combat.

Currently, Chen Xiaoxi's Hollowfication power was still at LV. 1.

Therefore, whether it was Cero or Sonido, the power of various techniques was still limited. Once his experience increased in the future, the amplification would undoubtedly be even more terrifying.

As Chen Xiaoxi was contemplating, suddenly, the Masked Man, who had been observing from the side, spoke in a deep voice.

"Fox Ghost, what was that move you just used?"

"Hmm?"

Chen Xiaoxi turned his head and looked at the Masked Man, smiling.

"You mean that slash just now?"

"Yes, for this move, I'll temporarily name it 'Moon Fang Sky Strike.' It cuts people very smoothly."

"What, want to learn it?"

"I'll teach you."

"..."

"Also, by the way, my name isn't Fox Ghost. Don't just give people nicknames, one-eyed Masked Man."

"..."

After saying all that, aren't you still giving me a nickname?

The Masked Man's gaze slightly lowered, then he looked back towards Itachi Uchiha on the other side and said deeply, "Yi Da Qi, how are your injuries... can you still fight?"

The Masked Man wasn't concerned about him.

Mainly, it was difficult enough to find a strong fighter for the Akatsuki. He didn't want him to die just like that.

Although this guy looked like a Leaf Village brainwashed traitor, as a pawn, he was still quite good...

Hearing the Masked Man's words, Itachi slightly raised his hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with difficulty, "...I can."

Although he had been hit squarely by that moon-white slash, he had still managed to evade the vital points in an extremely short time, so he wasn't incapacitated.

To gain Madara Uchiha's trust, Itachi didn't want to give up and end his fight just yet.

He decided... to use his Mangekyo.

The silent Itachi shakily stood up from the shrine's dust.

Then, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Crimson light flickered in the darkness. The black patterns within his pupils spun and changed rapidly, finally taking the shape of a shuriken.

This was Itachi's ultimate trump card—the Mangekyou Sharingan!

"Hoo..."

After exhaling lightly, Itachi's gaze fell upon Chen Xiaoxi before him, his pupils contracting in an instant!

"Tsukuyomi!"

Invisible chakra surged out, activating the Mangekyou Sharingan!

Tsukuyomi—

Uchiha Itachi's strongest genjutsu!

All it took was eye contact with the enemy to instantly drag them into the world of "Tsukuyomi," where time, space, and mass were all under Itachi's control!

It could be said that once this move was used, it was equivalent to declaring the end of the battle.

Itachi was filled with absolute confidence in this technique.

If he hadn't been in such a disadvantageous situation, he wouldn't have used it.

However, After a moment.

Nothing happened.

Under the moonlight, a cold wind blew gently.

Chen Xiaoxi, wearing a Fox Ghost mask, stood facing Uchiha Itachi, but... he had not been dragged into the Tsukuyomi space!

"?"

Itachi's heart jolted, his expression changing slightly.

What?

What's going on?

Did my Tsukuyomi... fail?

Impossible!

Tsukuyomi was clearly activated successfully!

No, it can't be—

Did this guy just close his eyes...?

Uchiha Itachi remained silent, He gritted his teeth slightly and tried to release Tsukuyomi again.

However, After a moment, The result was still the same.

Hypnosis failed.

The invisible chakra emitted by the Mangekyou Sharingan was blocked before it could reach Chen Xiaoxi's pupils, unable to advance further.

There could only be one explanation for this outcome—

This guy really closed his eyes!

Realizing this, Uchiha Itachi froze completely.

Since awakening his Mangekyou Sharingan, he had never encountered an opponent whose actions were so bizarre!

Facing his Tsukuyomi, He seemed to have closed his eyes directly, as if he knew all the information in advance?

This skill was something even Danzo Shimura himself didn't know!

"..."

The Masked Man beside him also frowned slightly upon seeing this, and asked in a low, confused voice:

"What's going on, Yi Da Qi?"

"Did that guy... enter the Tsukuyomi world?"

However, As soon as he finished speaking, before Uchiha Itachi could reply, Chen Xiaoxi suddenly turned around, facing the Masked Man, and said indifferently:

"You Uchiha are really interesting."

"Always so inexplicably confident."

"Why don't I ask you instead—"

"When did you start having the illusion that I would fall for Tsukuyomi?"

"?"

The moment the words fell, the Masked Man and Itachi Uchiha both froze.

Chen Xiaoxi, however, chuckled and continued, "The Sharingan illusion just now, I was merely putting on a show for you."

"Don't tell me you actually thought I'd be afraid of illusions?"

"No way, right?"

"Even without using my eyes,"

"I can 'see you' clearly."

"Just like this—"

As he spoke, Chen Xiaoxi suddenly raised the pale blade in his hand and, without even looking, swung it directly behind him.

"Moon Fang Sky Strike."
