Abilities & Skills
Illusion and the Sharingan
Genjutsu alters a target’s sensory experience. The Sharingan greatly amplifies an Uchiha user’s aptitude for it 3.
- Liuyun concealed a Genjutsu during his first exchange with Minato Namikaze, then used Minato’s immobilization to place a kunai against his neck 8.
- In their later match, Liuyun caught Minato’s gaze for an instant and defeated him almost immediately. He warned Minato not to look into his eyes in a future fight 18 19.
- Against two Sand Jonin, Liuyun used his Three-Tomoe Sharingan to stop their movements before cutting them down 36.
- He successfully placed Hanzō of the Salamander under an ocular genjutsu by catching his gaze, proving he could cast illusions even without visibly activating his Sharingan beforehand 52.
Tsukuyomi
Liuyun’s Mangekyō technique constructs an illusionary world in which he can torment targets. It can affect no more than five people at once 17.
- Uchiha Fuchu could not escape despite repeatedly attempting Genjutsu: Release; inside the illusion, he experienced prolonged stabbing while only an instant passed outside it 16.
- Liuyun used the technique to incapacitate Yotsuki Shunfeng during Kushina’s rescue 25.
- He later trapped Shukaku with Mangekyō Genjutsu, interrupting a forming Tailed Beast Bomb and directing the beast toward the Sand Ninja camp 45.
Large-scale illusion world
Liuyun developed a separate Genjutsu from his Three-Tomoe Sharingan and Mental Energy, aiming for a world capable of holding more than Tsukuyomi’s five-target limit. The version tested on Tsunade was unfinished 30.
- He could restore damaged scenery and alter a captive’s surroundings; Tsunade’s attempts to destroy the flower-filled landscape did not free her 29 30.
- Its first planned layer, Pink World Blackened by Time, made Tsunade appear to age as time passed within it 30; he also used a variant of this world against Mei Terumi to manipulate her appearance and environment 130.
- Tsunade could not escape with Genjutsu Release. After the test, Liuyun identified further improvements he needed to make 30.
