Inviting Someone to the Heavens / Traitors Must Be Eliminated

"You really don't know how to use it..." Uchiha Shingen sighed, "You've used Yin Release like Yang Release."

"Enough with the nonsense." Otsutsuki Toneri waved his hand, and the green sphere of light surrounding him shot towards Uchiha Shingen.

"This isn't a real Truth -Truth-Seeking Orb either..." Uchiha Shingen was even more speechless; this time, he didn't even bother to move.

The green Chakra balls began to disappear halfway through their flight, and none of them managed to reach Uchiha Shingen.

Otsutsuki Toneri clenched his fist.

As far as he knew, Yin Release could be used in the spiritual world, with the same effect, as long as one understood the true essence of Chakra techniques.

As a derivative of Yin Release, Genjutsu is the mainstream method of Yin Release, and the clash of Genjutsu best reflects the battle of spirits.

If someone mentally conjures Fire Release, it can be extinguished by an opponent's mentally conjured Water Release.

This kind of confrontation is not a one-sided affair; any Genjutsu requires consideration of both sides' perceptions.

Of course, you could create something that the other party simply couldn't understand, but generally that's impossible. The other party might not recognize it, but they could deny it.

It has to be something that truly confuses the other person, making it impossible for them to deny it.

The threshold for Genjutsu magic, or rather Yin Release, is that high.

Unless there's a huge difference in mental strength between the two sides, then there's no need to go through with this.

This is also what Otsutsuki Toneri didn't understand; what Uchiha Shingen had just done didn't conform to his understanding.

His understanding was based on the premise that "Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion can definitely destroy the enemy." It didn't matter that Uchiha Shingen didn't recognize it; the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion looked very powerful, and that alone was enough.

Genjutsu are meant to deceive others, but they cannot deceive oneself.

As for how Uchiha Shingen had reversed the situation, Otsutsuki Toneri couldn't figure it out.

"Judging from your appearance, you're not going to be able to speak properly for the time being," said Uchiha Shingen. "Then let's finish the fight first."

With a single point of his Uchiha Shingen at the ground, the enormous moon vanished.

The surrounding environment began to take on Uchiha Shingen's colors.

This is outrageous!

Otsutsuki Toneri immediately extracted the power of the Giant Tenseigan to counter it.

Uchiha Shingen smiled.

Through these back-and-forth exchanges, he had a complete understanding of Otsutsuki Toneri's abilities.

In reality, Otsutsuki Toneri had a thorough understanding of Genjutsu and a solid theoretical foundation. Normally, he would be more than capable of protecting himself in the field of Genjutsu.

Unfortunately, the Uchiha Clan's Genjutsu illusion techniques) doesn't follow the rules.

The Rinnegan is a wonderful thing; it eliminated the biggest flaw in the Uchiha Clan's Genjutsu.

If you add the Tailed Beasts, the Uchiha Clan's Genjutsu would be used however they wanted.

"A waste of effort," said Uchiha Shingen. As he spoke, the world spun around him, and all traces of Otsutsuki Toneri in the surrounding environment vanished.

Golden fields and towering Divine Tree once again dominate this world.

Otsutsuki Toneri's eyes widened.

Just now, the eye power he had gathered suddenly vanished completely.

Just like the previous "Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion".

"Otsutsuki Toneri, I thought we would be friends against those extraterrestrial Ōtsutsuki Clan, but now it seems I was wrong. You are no different from those Ōtsutsuki Clan now, arrogant and prejudiced. You should reflect on your actions in this world."

Uchiha Shingen chuckled and activated another Genjutsu.

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Inviting People to Heaven

Legends always exist in the Ninja World.

Nobody knows who will win the prize in a few years.

The Senju of the Forest and Uchiha Clan weren't always powerful, but once they rose to prominence, their legendary status was cemented.

Aside from the efforts of both sides, one point is crucial.

There are two types of bloodline limits in the Ninja World: one is the bloodline limit of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, and the other is other bloodline limits.

The former either originates from the Ōtsutsuki Clan or from the Chakra God Tree.

If you have both, once you take off, you simply can't stop. The Senju of the Forest and Uchiha Clan are the only two typical examples.

In the Senju of the Forest, all sorts of masters emerge, making it difficult to establish a single style.

The Uchiha Clan has a very consistent style, and in their long history of battles, their three forbidden techniques are the most outrageous.

Aside from the Susanoo technique, which is hailed as "divine power," the other two are Genjutsu, and they follow the same all-in approach, leaving you blind after use.

But the more severe the side effects, the more disgusting it will be for the other person.

Although Uchiha Shingen did not become the next head of the Uchiha Clan, he was still proficient in all three forbidden techniques.

In fact, although this thing is a forbidden technique, the "forbidden" does not mean that people are not allowed to learn it. Just like the definition of forbidden techniques in Hidden Leaf Village, it is called a forbidden technique to tell the user - be careful and don't use it recklessly.

Once you reach the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Susanoo n't use Susanoo, but you can still use the other two blinding techniques, so much so that all the Mitsudomoe users in the clan know them.

As for why they were wiped out in one night in the original timeline, Uchiha Shingen did speculate when he was very worried about this. He guessed that after the Third Shinobi World War and the subsequent wars between Konoha and Iwagakure Cloud Village Leaf Village the original Third Shinobi World War, the Uchiha Clan suffered heavy losses. At that time, there might not have been many left with the Mitsudomoe technique. Naturally, they would be helpless against Uchiha Itachi, who was also proficient in these two Dōjutsu.

This is also why Uchiha Shingen started jumping around during the Third Shinobi World War; after all, he had witnessed the brutality of that war firsthand.

If you don't jump now, you won't be able to jump anymore.

Getting back to the main point, even with the Rinnegan, Uchiha Shingen had never used these two Ninjutsu until he met Otsutsuki Toneri.

But today, he used it without hesitation.

Two Izanagi Genjutsu later, Otsutsuki Toneri's two full-power attacks were over, a classic case of a max-level character attacking a newbie in a beginner's village.

As expected of the technique used by Hagoromo Otsutsuki to create the Nine Tailed Beasts, although the Uchiha Clan modified it into something else entirely in the realm of Genjutsu, it is indeed a divine technique capable of turning the tide of battle.

That means he had the Rinnegan; otherwise, Uchiha Shingen wouldn't have used it. He only liked his own eyes.

Since it occurred in the spiritual world, the mental impact of the two Izanagi on Otsutsuki Toneri was also effectively relayed to Uchiha Shingen.

Strike while the iron is hot. Taking advantage of Otsutsuki Toneri's growing existential crisis, Uchiha Shingen unleashed another forbidden technique without hesitation.

He had been planting a seed in Otsutsuki Toneri's heart with words, and the conditions for performing the technique had long been met.

The cycle will be designed to begin from when he entered Otsutsuki Toneri's mental space, and continue until just now.

This is also the operating mechanism of the Genjutsu Izanami.

Once activated, Uchiha Shingen felt a significant depletion of his mental energy.

Like Izanagi.

It's no wonder that these two Genjutsu are so taxing on the eyes Sharingan stage. The Sharingan's Dōjutsu doesn't reach the standard of these two Genjutsu in terms of power output, which means that the eyeball, as the output end, will be destroyed by excessive eye power.

A good analogy is someone who has never practiced the Formation of Eight Gates being forced to open the gates.

If you're not physically strong enough, you don't even need to open the Gate of Death; just opening the first five or six gates will kill you on the spot.

Back in the Hyuga Clan had masters of acupressure who would use this technique to kill people.

However, the same technique works perfectly fine when used by the Rinnegan. As a product of Yin-Yang Release, the Rinnegan's strength is far beyond that of the Sharingan, and even the Mangekyo Sharingan is no match for it.

Uchiha Shingen unleashed Izanami attack, and the opposing team immediately fell silent.

The Otsutsuki Toneri was just making a racket has now turned into the Ōtsutsuki Clan idiot.

His consciousness had been dragged into a deeper loop by Izanami, so that the layer where Uchiha Shingen was still existed, but it was now calm and peaceful.

Uchiha Shingen looked at Otsutsuki Toneri, who had entered the Thinker Mode, nodded in satisfaction, and then released his eye power to begin searching for Otsutsuki Toneri's memories.

Without Otsutsuki Toneri's conscious defense, this mental world was at his mercy.

Uchiha Shingen quickly found what he was looking for.

As with all other things, there's only this one surviving example of information about the Lunar Ōtsutsuki.

But unexpectedly, I also saw an acquaintance.

The Sage of Six Paths.

He really is everywhere.

No wonder this only son, who had nothing to say before, suddenly dared to act so recklessly.

It would have been so much better to just be a unique lunar person, instead of getting beaten up by everyone.

Having obtained all the information he wanted, Uchiha Shingen muttered a few complaints in his mind before logging off.

When he opened his eyes again, he was still on the rooftop of the Hokage Building, with the expressionless man next to him staring intently at him.

"Uncle Fugaku, why are your eyes so wide?"

"Oh, it's nothing, just checking if it's really you." Uchiha Fugaku looked carefully, confirmed there was nothing wrong, and withdrew his impolite gaze. "Looks like you had a smooth experience."

"They're from the Lunar Ōtsutsuki, not from the Yamanaka Clan," Uchiha Shingen helplessly.

As one of the representatives of Leaf Village's secret techniques, the Yamanaka Clan is also known for their mastery of Yin Release, and their Ninjutsu system is truly insidious.

Although the Yamanaka Clan is not well-known in Leaf Village, they are still quite popular outside, especially during wartime. With members of the Yamanaka Clan around, Leaf Village is like having a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, while the opposing side is always afraid that someone from their side will suddenly jump up and attack.

"Just kidding, Shingen. You haven't been as humorous since you became Hokage," Uchiha Fugaku said with a hint of regret.

"That's easy, I'll let Itachi take over."

Even knowing it was just a joke, Uchiha Fugaku felt his heart stop beating upon hearing it.

He once thought his son had the potential to Hokage, but he stopped thinking that way ten years ago.

They both use the same book, "The Will of Fire," and it's a standard textbook for the Ninja Academy, so why are the results my son is getting from learning it completely different from his?

No, the effect is different for everyone.

"Uncle Fugaku, don't worry," Uchiha Shingen quickly reassured him. "Itachi isn't as stubborn as you think. I've already explained the Will of Fire to him again, and he'll gradually return to normal. I'll transfer him to the Ninja Academy tomorrow."

"Schools?" Uchiha Fugaku's voice rose slightly. "Isn't this a bad idea? Teachers need training. What if they corrupt students? The parents will riot! Even though the clan is financially well-off now, we can't spend money like this."

Uchiha Shingen: "..."

Is Uchiha Itachi your son or mine? He's your own son, can't you have even a little bit of confidence in him?

If Uchiha Itachi doesn't get a job transfer soon, he might become the next Shisui, a bachelor for life.

"Let's put this aside for now, Uncle Fugaku..." Uchiha Shingen forced a smile, "How about we go up to the sky together?"

Chapter 100 The Traitor Must Be Killed

Having known Uchiha Fugaku for so many years, Uchiha Shingen has come to understand him quite well.

He's a really good person, but it's his mouth and his naturally expressionless face that's the problem.

His parenting methods are somewhat problematic.

This guy seems to have mixed up ninja training with family relationships.

He always reminded Uchiha Shingen of another person.

Senju Butsuma.

The former Senju of the Forest patriarch and Uchiha Fugaku were almost identical in their father-son interactions. The only difference was that Senju Butsuma not only cursed, but he also used his fists.

If things don't go his way, he'll slap me across the face, or even punch and kick me—it all depends on his mood.

However, the skills of Senju Butsuma are two-sided. For example, after beating up the children, he likes to sneak into their rooms late at night to check if they are properly covered up.

But every time he beats his kids, they're so upset they're not actually asleep. Every single one of them is pretending to be asleep, revealing the father's tough exterior but soft heart.

Senju Butsuma knew this or not is impossible to verify, but because of this, the father-son relationship was indeed very good. Although the children were beaten from childhood to adulthood, none of them ever harbored resentment towards Senju Butsuma.

It's actually quite common for people to deliberately kick off the covers.

Uchiha Fugaku was different. He liked to discipline his son, but he only disciplined him and never beat him. Afterward, he would sleep peacefully with his wife every night.

In the original timeline Uchiha Sasuke once suspected that he wasn't their biological son, which wasn't entirely without reason. Later, he was praised by Uchiha Fugaku, a compliment he remembered for the rest of his life.

Upon hearing Uchiha Shingen's invitation, Uchiha Fugaku seemed somewhat hesitant.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally overcame his curiosity and said emphatically, "No, Fifth Hokage, I'd better go home first today. Is Itachi really going to take up his post at the school tomorrow?"
