Konoha, my skill upgrade experience remains unchanged

"Uchiha Jiri is a gentle, wise ninja who inherited the 'Will of Fire' and possesses the spirit of sacrifice for peace!"

"She invented the jutsu 'Izanami' in order to save her friends. After (ageg) used it on her friends at the cost of one of her own Sharingan, the powerful ninja saw the error of her ways and gave up the infighting within the Uchiha clan."

"The next best is the awakening of the Kurama clan's bloodline!"

"They can use illusions to manipulate the five senses of others, making them feel trapped in an illusion space, and their bodies will also suffer real damage!"

"The next one should be a regular illusion, such as 'Magic Shackle Technique', 'Magic Tree Binding Technique', 'Magic Mirror Heaven and Earth Turning Technique', 'Darkness Walking Technique', 'Gold Binding Technique', etc., which will only cause mental damage!"

"Crack! Crack!"

Uchiha Shinda applauded Sarutobi Hiruzen for his broad knowledge!

"The Uchiha's Sharingan is a natural Yin-Tun, and the Kurama family is also stronger in spirit than in body!"

"And the various other illusions you just listed, Sandaime, are also based on the spirit!"

"So, the strength of the illusion can ultimately be attributed to the Yin escape technique of the spirit!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was talking to Pepe, a twelve-year-old black-haired boy in front of him, as if he saw the white-haired Second Generation teaching him a lesson in this open space more than twenty years ago!

Just as confident, just as high-spirited, talking about some ordinary truths, and deriving conclusions that took him a long time to figure out!

Uchiha Shinichi ignored Sarutobi Hiruzen's distraction and continued to speak in a normal tone about things that an ordinary ninja would never be able to achieve in his lifetime!

"As we all know, illusions can simulate real-life situations under certain circumstances!"

"So, if the spirit is strong enough and the illusion space is wide enough, it should be no problem to simulate the dynamics of a forest, right?"

"The illusion I just performed did not reach the level of first-class or second-class as you said, Hokage!"

"It can neither distort reality nor change people's minds. It's just like the third-level illusion you mentioned!"

Uchiha Shinji raised his right hand, brought his index finger and thumb together, leaving a thin gap through which a faint glow of chakra flickered!

"I just used a little more mental energy and did some research on Yin Dun, and simulated the entire Death Forest!"

"Look, isn't that cloud shifted by one degree?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen followed the confident direction of Uchiha Shin'achi, looked at the sky to the side, and compared it carefully with his memory, and found that the clouds had indeed shifted again!

But, almost ten minutes have passed now!

The Sandaime Hokage looked at Uchiha Shinda with complicated eyes!

He suddenly understood the tone his teacher, the second-generation Senju Tobirama, used when he talked about the first-generation Hokage!

It’s all so hard to describe in words!

“Perhaps this is the true world of genius!”

Looking back on his life, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly felt a little emotional!

"We are just geniuses in the eyes of ordinary people. If we have to compare ourselves with these true geniuses whose talents are limitless, it will only make us doubt our lives. Ordinary people just need to look up to them!"

The Sandaime consoled himself in an Ah Q way, and his ninja instinct made him pay 40% of his attention and observe his surroundings at all times!

"The wind direction deviated by 2 degrees. The flight path of the bird in the northeast was two meters lower. The bird song in the southeast was 3 decibels higher..."

Feeling the surrounding environment slowly beginning to differ from the illusion, Sarutobi Hiruzen's tense spirit slowly relaxed!

"Your illusion has an unimaginable reality and suppression power. Yours should be included in the first-class illusion I listed just now!

"One affects physics! One affects the mind! One superimposes the quality of illusion space!"

"It's just..."

Uchiha Shinda suddenly interrupted!

"Strong and powerful?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately!

"Yes, yes, yes! It is strong and powerful!"

"What's the name of this illusion of yours? I think it can be recorded in the Book of Seales!"

After 8 years of experience in the illusion space, there is still some difference. Sarutobi Hiruzen now speaks more casually to Uchiha Shin'ada!

If there really is a favorability system, you should be able to see +1, +2, +3, ..., +10086 popping up above Sarutobi Hiruzen's head!

"You can call it 'Water Flowing Ninjutsu: Mirror Flower and Water Moon'!"

Uchiha Shinda avoided talking about the record sealing technique and just played with a serious face!

"The key to this technique is to use tiny water droplets in the air to reflect light, disrupting the enemy's judgment and making them indulge in the illusion without knowing it!"

"Water system?"

"Forget it! As long as you are happy!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to ask why this name was given, but after thinking about it, he gave up!

Geniuses always have some quirks!

"However, the effect of your illusion will probably be less on people with a strong sixth sense!"

He suddenly remembered that when the ape demon was summoned, it looked towards the right in a strange way. That direction was exactly the treetop where Uchiha Shinji jumped off!

"If you say so..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen observed the destruction caused by the physical duel just now, and found that there was almost no trace left by Uchiha Shin's fight!

In this situation, either Uchiha had extremely fine control over his strength, or he had just been caught in an illusion, and all traces of the battle were caused by himself and Yuan Mo!

The scene of him fighting without moving at all, and taking the shuriken shadow wind body technique head-on as if he were indestructible flashed through his mind!

A pair of ape eyes opened wide and asked doubts directly!

"Also, when you were fighting me in taijutsu just now, did you really use taijutsu?"

"Hehehehe!"

Uchiha Shinji chuckled, feeling the joy that his work was finally discovered!

"The physical battle just now was indeed a physical battle!"

"But the one fighting you is not me, but my clone!"

"It should be said that from the beginning, I was fighting against you, Hokage, with my clone, and my real body was watching from the side!"

Uchiha Shinda was full of praise for the white-haired old ape!

"I have to say, Ape Demon's intuition is really accurate! I was almost discovered just now!"

"Stop lying!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen finally couldn't help but yell and complain!

"Just a little bit!"

“It’s still just a little bit now!”

"How much is your little bit?"

"If you say that the you who is talking to me now is also an illusion, I will believe it!!!"

The smile on Uchiha Shinji's face suddenly became somewhat realistic, like a robot with a 95% degree of realism!

"Hokage-sama, are you sure you are not in a genjutsu right now?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was frightened by the "uncanny valley effect"!

Suddenly, he felt someone staring at him from behind, and he quickly turned his head to look, and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat!

In the direction leading to the exit of the Death Forest, there was another Uchiha Shinichi leaning against the woods, smiling at him! .

Chapter 104: Going through Hundreds of Tribulations to Prove My Desire

Streets of Konoha Village.

The light of dusk travels across hundreds of millions of kilometers, spreading golden color.

Merchants at the night market have been opening up their stalls one after another, and while there are not many customers, they gather in groups of three or four to chat.

After a half-day tour of the Forest of Death, the strongest mustache man in the Sarutobi family and the strongest young man in the Uchiha family are returning.

Uchiha Shinji was dressed in black uniform with a pure white feather robe draped over his shoulders. His whole body was spotless, as if he had just returned from an outing. He strolled in front, looking left and right at the shops and stalls on the street, observing the changes in the village in the past half month compared to before the mission!

Sarutobi Hiruzen wore a red and white Hokage hat and a flame-red divine robe to cover the dust and dirt on his black tights. The five big characters "Sandaime Hokage" behind him attracted the attention of all the villagers and ninjas around, making him give a friendly smile reflexively, but upon closer inspection, there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes!

who am I?

Where am I?

What am I going to do?

Sarutobi Hiruzen is thinking about philosophy!

"Really? Am I in the real world or in an illusion now?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved and greeted the villagers and ninjas around him one by one, and continued to observe every detail on the road, with his exposed right hand sensing the direction of the wind as he moved forward!

"Sandage, you are still struggling with this! From the Forest of Death to now, you have asked me seventeen times in such a short time!"

Uchiha Shinda heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's question and couldn't help but sigh, explaining for the seventeenth time!

"I was just joking with you just now. This is the real world now!"

"I just saw you said it so firmly in the Death Forest, and I couldn't help but give you a push to make your flag come true!"

"You didn't raise the flag again. Even if you were the Sandaime Hokage, I wouldn't be so bored as to set up a series of illusions for you!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen habitually gave a "hmm" and then fell silent. His eyes swept across the iconic six pillars on top of the Hokage Building in the distance, and he continued to walk forward absent-mindedly following Uchiha Shin's steps.

But after a brief silence, the Sandaime Hokage spoke again!

"...We're almost at the Hokage Building. This should be the last time!"

He pressed down the brim of his hat to block the sunlight from the front, and looked at Uchiha Shinda in front of him, still observing the ornamental fish on the street with great interest.

"After coming out of the Forest of Death, a few questions have been lingering in my mind. After thinking about it, I still think that you are the only one who can answer my doubts!"

"In terms of illusion, if I really hit you, you would be considered the strongest in the village, right?"

Uchiha Shinda nodded, slowed down his pace and waited for Sarutobi Hiruzen to catch up.

"Well, the people in the village are indeed a little different from me!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not in the mood to complain at the moment, he just expressed his thoughts in a low voice!

"It was only after I fought you today that I realized that illusions can reach this level!"

"I have selected a 10-kilometer radius and simulated all the changes in the area, as well as the tens of thousands of people I have come into contact with over the past eight years. Each person's personality and life changes have been simulated realistically!"

“It’s exactly like the real world!”

While continuing to move forward, he turned his head and looked seriously at the Uchiha boy beside him!

"If you don't remove the illusion, I won't wake up until I enter the memorial, right?"

"So, have you ever really considered whether we are also in a similar illusion?"

"If that's the case, what's the point of our struggle?"

Uchiha was really speechless!

Sure enough, illusions that are too powerful are taboos in the world of Naruto, because they always make people doubt their lives, as long as you know that there are techniques of this level!

In Naruto, when Uzumaki Naruto and Kurenai faced Kurama Yakumo, and when Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo faced Uchiha Shisui, they must have had this kind of doubt, right?

Are we all under someone else's illusion now?

If so, will the current struggle be like a dream, and everything will be back to zero after the operation is over?

"I can't answer the question you asked, Sandaime!"

"Because ever since I was able to use this level of illusion, I have always had this doubt!"

Uchiha Shinji looked up at the sky. His powerful perception allowed him to see through the thick atmosphere. He could see the huge scorching sun spewing solar prominences, the stars twinkling in the distance, and the deep darkness in more places!

"I can use illusion to create space, pull people's consciousness into it, and let them have their own dreams!"

"For the person who is pulled into the illusion space, everything he sees, hears, smells, tastes, touches, and even what he feels with his sixth sense, I can transmit it to him through illusion!"

"In his mind, he is still in the same place, and he is in charge of everything. But in fact, all the environments, life situations, life and death he experiences are created by me!"

"I arranged for him to meet a beggar, conveying sympathy to him so that he would give alms on his own initiative; I arranged for him to meet a beautiful woman, conveying admiration to him so that he would fall in love at first sight; I arranged for him to meet an enemy, conveying danger to him so that he would flee in embarrassment..."
