Chapter 53
The Death of Troy, The Gaze from the Shadows
The Magical Illusion: Shackles Technique is an illusion technique similar to Tsukuyomi, a technique purely used for mental attacks. Even if the victim realizes they are under an illusion, they will still suffer mental attacks. There is only one way to break it: either fight back with stronger eye power or Yin Release, or withstand it with enough willpower.
However, it is clear that Rikka does not possess the Yin Release cultivation level to counter Uchiha Mo's, nor does he have a strong will.
Under the impact of the illusion, he suffered a mental breakdown, his consciousness dissipated, and he even died...
"You bastard! You're despicable!"
Troy picked up the square shuriken in his hand, gritted his teeth, and glared angrily at the figure on the tree branch.
"Illusion can actually take a person's life?" Kakashi looked at Mo in front of him with some surprise, while Kurenai Yuhi also cast an admiring glance at him.
"If you don't kill on the battlefield, are you waiting for me to invite you home for dinner?"
Mo's expression was indifferent. He glanced at the slight fluctuations in the numerical values on the panel and frowned slightly.
"He really is a good-for-nothing."
Upon hearing this, Troy instantly flew into a rage. He poured chakra into the thread in his right hand and then suddenly flung the string of square shuriken towards Mo and the others!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."
"Go to hell!"
The square shuriken, enhanced by Magnet Release chakra, moved with incredible speed, slicing through the air and arriving not far from Mo's body.
The shuriken imbued with Troy's Magnet Release chakra possess a special ability: magnetization. Upon touching a magnetized object, the ninja's body is instantly magnetized. Subsequently, any magnetized shuriken thrown by Troy will have a directional tracking effect due to the magnetic force of the two objects, moving at extremely high speed and never stopping until it hits its target.
This ability could be considered to have a significant intelligence advantage, but... once the intelligence is leaked, it becomes meaningless...
Mo raised his right hand, and many crimson needles had appeared between his fingers. With a flick of his arm, the red needles flew precisely toward the shuriken thrown by Troy!
"Red Blaze - Scattering Fire Needle!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh... Bang—!"
The condensed flames collided with the square shuriken, causing an instant explosion. The flames dissipated, and the square shuriken were all blasted away.
"I'll play with you."
Mo leaped down from the tree branch and landed on the flat ground not far from the Cloud Village ninja.
The team members behind him landed on the flat ground. Kakashi drew his White Fang short sword from behind his back and stared sharply at the Cloud Ninja not far away.
"Mo, you focus on this guy, we'll handle the rest!"
After saying that, Kakashi called for everyone to rush towards the Cloud Ninja from the side.
Troy ignored him, only frowning slightly as he stared intently at Uchiha Mo.
"Is it a coincidence? This brat seems to know something about me..."
He recalled Uchiha Mo's earlier actions and then looked at the Futsu-no-Mitama hanging on Mo's waist.
"Whether I really know or not, I have to prepare for the worst."
Troy flicked his wrist and produced four more square shuriken, which then grew to enormous size in the ensuing smoke.
"Magnetic Release: Saving Bee Double Blades!"
With a furious roar, four massive square shuriken, now magnetized, shot out, their target Uchiha Mo not far away!
"Die, you wretched brat!"
Troy was certain that Uchiha Mo would never deal with a shuriken of this caliber in the same way as last time, and because the brat had jumped down on his own initiative, the distance between them had been reduced considerably.
At this distance, his magnetized shuriken could reach him instantly, making it impossible to dodge. The only way this brat could defend himself was to draw his ninja sword from his waist and then be magnetized by him!
"call out!"
In the blink of an eye, four square shuriken were already close to his face, completely blocking his four escape routes, while Mo remained expressionless.
"Is this all you've got to do? To be honest, I'm getting pretty bored."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped backward, his hands rapidly twirling in front of his chest.
Si-Wei-Shen-Hai-Wu-Yin!
"Snap!" Mo suddenly puffed out his chest as he brought his hands together with sword-like fingers.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
A massive fireball, as large as a house, was suddenly spewed out by Mo in mid-air!
"Bear--!"
The giant square shuriken was instantly vaporized, while the terrifying-looking fireball continued to shoot towards the spot where Troy had landed.
"What kind of power is this?!"
Troy cried out in alarm and quickly dodged backward to avoid it.
"boom--!"
The fierce fireball instantly blasted a large crater in the ground, and the intense aftershocks spread out, followed by a thick column of smoke.
Troy had barely stopped when a kunai suddenly burst through the smoke and shot toward his head!
"Whoosh!" He quickly turned his head to dodge, but a bloody gash was still cut on his cheek, and the kunai was firmly embedded in the ground behind him.
Immediately afterwards, a very thin thread of chakra suddenly tightened on the ring at the end of the kunai, and then a figure instantly burst out of the smoke!
"Hey——!"
Uchiha Sumi gripped the lightning-filled Futsu-no-Mitama tightly and thrust it horizontally towards Troy below!
Troy hurriedly summoned another giant square shuriken from the scroll to block in front of him, while simultaneously injecting a large amount of Magnet Release chakra into it.
"A great opportunity!"
Although this brat attacked quickly, this is a good opportunity for me to magnetize him! As long as the magnetizing power attaches to his body...
"Ding!"
Before the words were even finished, sparks flew as Futsu no Mitama slashed at the shuriken, but before Troy could even feel any joy, the square shuriken was sliced open like tofu, leaving a smooth surface.
"Whoosh—! Pfft!"
A terrified human head flew high into the air. Mo stood expressionlessly behind Troy, sensing the fading magnetization within his body. He swung his sword, Blood Vibration, then twirled it before sheathing it.
"Bang!"
The headless corpse fell to the ground with a muffled thud, and Mo turned his gaze to the virtual panel.
Lightning Release Proficiency +5.36%
Earth Escape Proficiency +4.78%
Yang Escape Technique Proficiency +2.13%
New unlocked ability: Innate superhuman strength, invulnerability to blades and bullets!
Mo frowned slightly, looking somewhat dissatisfied with the increased value, but immediately shook his head gently.
"Well, it's normal that it can't compare to the Sharingan."
He muttered something under his breath, then turned his gaze to Kakashi and the others who were locked in battle with the Cloud Ninja.
Meanwhile, the Cloud Village ninjas seemed to have also noticed the battle situation here.
"That brat... he actually killed Troy?!"
"Damn it! How is this possible?"
"Damn it, Uchiha! I must be under a genjutsu!"
……
Their eyes widened, and they all showed expressions of shock. Troy's death seemed to have dealt a huge blow to their morale. Several Cloud Ninjas were already fighting on one side while retreating, obviously trying to escape.
Mo Wei took a step forward, and the chakra within her body immediately became active.
Just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly sensed a gaze for no apparent reason!
However, it is clear that Rikka does not possess the Yin Release cultivation level to counter Uchiha Mo's, nor does he have a strong will.
