With a single hand raised, Xingxia Xiu dispelled the illusion.
As the smoke cleared, Inuzuka Ryo and Kuroko swayed to their feet, their faces blank with confusion.
Did I just have a dream?
and many more!
Isn't this a practical test of illusion magic?
Memories gradually returned.
Ryo Inuzuka remembered that he and the black ball were kicked away by the captain, and then... his memory went blank.
"Captain, Pegasus, what... what's going on?"
Inuzuka Ryo scratched his head.
The black ball immediately opened its mouth and barked twice; it too had completely lost a segment of its memory.
"You've been bewitched."
He spoke of Xingxia Xiudao, but offered no further explanation.
The technique worked quite well, achieving the results he had hoped for.
However, the fact that Inuzuka Ryo and the ninja dog Kuroko were able to deeply hypnotize them in such a short time was due to the use of the power of the [Hypnotist Master], and not simply an illusion.
With his own abilities, he was not capable of deeply hypnotizing two targets in such a short time during combat.
Without the [Master of Hypnosis] buff, his new technique can only be effective in surprise attacks or when the enemy is already under control.
Of course, this cannot be called a failure.
This is still a very good illusion, especially effective for infiltration and assassination.
However, Inuzuka Ryo was unaware of the inside story and was very shocked: "Captain, your genjutsu is even more powerful than the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan."
Being hypnotized during a battle, and even losing a portion of one's memory, is something that ordinary Sharingan genjutsu cannot achieve.
Master-level hypnosis is naturally incomparable to ordinary Sharingan.
"continue!"
As he spoke, Hoshino launched another attack.
He needs to constantly improve his hypnotic accuracy and continuously draw nourishment from the state of being a "hypnotist master".
Meanwhile, Ryo Inuzuka and Ryoma Aburame can continuously improve their ability to deal with illusions and hypnosis through training.
However, based on past experience, simply creating a new technique is not enough for Xingxia Show to solidify this status quo.
I need to become a hypnosis master myself.
Seven days is a considerable amount of time and effort.
Even after developing the new technique, Xingxia Xiu no longer had much confidence in its ability to succeed.
What we can do now is to improve ourselves as much as possible.
……
The morning was spent in training.
When it was over, Inuzuka Ryo, Kuroko, and Aburame Ryoma, along with their dog, were all lying on the ground.
Inuzuka Ryo and Kuroko each wore expressions of utter despair, their eyes slightly vacant.
They had been hypnotized so many times that morning that they were somewhat disoriented.
Ryoma Aburame was slightly better, but there was still shock in his eyes.
Because he was also hypnotized, even the presence of worms inside his body could not wake him from the deep hypnosis.
Conventional methods of dispelling illusions seem to have completely failed.
……
Sitting on the ground, Xingxia Xiu silently sorted through her harvest.
The new technique can be said to be initially completed, and the results are good.
Hypnotize, then manipulate the subconscious of the hypnotized person, putting them into a sleepwalking state.
In this state, the manipulated person can use all their own abilities, and their body can also be controlled by the manipulator to perform the techniques mastered by the manipulator.
Unfortunately, after a morning of training, Hoshino was still unable to perfectly utilize the new technique in battle without using the [Hypnotist Master].
This means that the new technology has limitations in its application scenarios.
Of course, Xingxia Xiu knew that this was because his hypnotic accuracy was insufficient.
There's a huge difference between an expert's level and a master's level.
Even with the master-level talent boost in the [Master of Hypnosis] state, fully realizing that talent is not something that can be done overnight.
"We still need to work harder and do our best..."
Xingxia Xiu calmed herself down, and then her thoughts shifted, and she began to think about naming the new technique.
Is it called sleepwalking?
Isn't that a bit too direct and simplistic?
How about we call it... The Art of the Dream Walker!
Having decided on the name of the technique, Hoshinobu said to Inuzuka Ryo and the other, "We'll continue at 2 PM!"
After leaving, Hoshino Hide did not return to the Root base, but instead went to the outside of Konoha Hospital.
After waiting a moment, he saw Pharmacist Nonou come out of the hospital and immediately waved: "Nonou!"
Yakushi Nonou immediately looked over at the sound, smiled, and quickly stepped forward: "Onii-chan!"
"Let's go, I'll treat you to barbecue."
Hoshino patted Yakushi Nonou on the shoulder and laughed.
Yakushi Nonou smiled and nodded, "Mm!"
However, the two hadn't gone far when a voice came from behind them: "Hey!"
Hoshita Hide turned around, then smiled: "Tsunade, we meet again!"
Yakushi Nonou turned around and quickly bowed, "Lady Tsunade!"
Tsunade stepped forward, looking at the two with some confusion: "Are you siblings?"
Xingxia Xiu smiled and said, "What, doesn't it look like it?"
Tsunade pursed her lips, then said, "Thanks for last time. I still have your ninja sword. I'll take it to the hospital this afternoon, and then have Nono take it back for you."
Ninja sword?
It was only then that Hoshino remembered that it was just a standard-issue sword from the Root, and he hadn't expected Tsunade to have put it away for him.
With a thousand thoughts racing through his mind, Hoshino smiled and said, "I spend most of my time at Root, so there's no need to trouble Nonou."
"Tsunade, you probably haven't had lunch yet, have you? Why don't we eat together? After we eat, I'll help you get your ninja swords."
Tsunade nodded, then said generously, "Let me treat you!"
Hoshino chuckled: "Tsunade, are you sure? I heard you spend all your money gambling."
Tsunade waved her hand dismissively: "Don't worry, treating you to a meal is no problem."
Since you insist on inviting me, then of course there's no need to be polite.
Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Then there's no problem."
Yakushi Nonou quickly bowed, "Lady Tsunade, you've gone to so much trouble!"
"So verbose!"
With that, Tsunade took the lead.
Soon after, the three arrived at a barbecue restaurant and started eating, but Tsunade also ordered alcohol.
Seeing Tsunade pour him a drink, Hoshino quickly raised her hand to stop her: "Tsunade, I won't drink it."
Tsunade looked at Hoshino Shige with some confusion, since he had drunk the wine uninvited last time.
Xingxia Xiu also remembered what he had done when he lost control of his clone last time, and quickly explained, "I have to train this afternoon, so I can't drink."
The latest novel is first published here!
"All right!"
Tsunade was somewhat disappointed, then continued drinking by herself.
Hoshinoshi invited Yakushi Nonou to eat barbecue while chatting with Tsunade.
"Tsunade, have you been at Konoha Hospital lately?"
"Yes, Jiraiya went to train a new guy, a very talented one."
"Oh? To be praised by you, Tsunade, it seems you'll be a formidable character in the future."
"That's not necessarily true. That idiot Jiraiya might just hold that child back."
"Speaking of which, the Root ninjas must be extremely busy, right?"
"fine……"
With everyone talking at once, Yakushi Nonou couldn't get a word in edgewise.
The meal took an hour.
Hoshita Hide took Yakushi Nonou back to Konoha Hospital, and then followed Tsunade to the magnificent Senju ancestral home.
It just felt a bit deserted here.
The Thousand Hands have withered.
This is related to the policies of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, as well as the First Shinobi World War and the Wood Release experiments.
The Senju bloodline suffered the most casualties in the Wood Release experiments.
The most active were also the ninjas with the Thousand Hands bloodline.
Tsunade, being very easygoing, didn't invite Hoshino Shige to sit down for tea and quickly drew her ninja sword.
After taking it, Xingxia Xiu smiled and said, "Thank you."
Tsunade waved her hand: "I won't see you out."
Xingxia Xiu nodded, and without lingering, leaped away.
Tsunade watched Hoshino leave, then turned and walked through the two courtyards to Mito Uzumaki's bedroom.
The once beautiful princess of the Uzumaki clan is now old and frail.
Tsunade was somewhat saddened; she already knew that her grandmother was nearing her end.
Mito Uzumaki, however, remained calm and composed, her smile kind and gentle: "Tsuna, that child from earlier was quite good."
Tsunade pursed her lips upon hearing this, and was about to speak when Mito Uzumaki said, "He possesses the power of your grandfather."
Tsunade froze for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "What?"
"Grandfather's power... Could it be... that experiment failed?"
Mito Uzumaki laughed and said, "It was Danzo who was hiding something."
Tsunade gritted her teeth upon hearing this: "That Danzo guy... what is he planning to do by hiding the Wood Release ninjas?"
Does the teacher know?
Mito Uzumaki nodded: "You should know by now."
Tsunade relaxed and snorted, "Next time I'll see how much of my grandfather's power that guy inherited."
Mito Uzumaki said, "Then take the scrolls about Sage Mode that your grandfather left behind with you as well!"
"Celestial arts..."
Tsunade's expression changed: "That's extremely dangerous..."
Mito Uzumaki laughed and said, "Just do as I say. Being able to withstand your grandfather's cells, you won't die so easily."
Tsunade nodded with a worried expression after hearing this.
……
Training Course.
Xingxia Xiu couldn't help but sneeze: "Who's thinking about me again?"
"But did Mito Uzumaki notice me just now?"
"I remember she also had the ability to sense malice."
Fortunately, he harbored no ill will toward Mito Uzumaki, Tsunade, or even the entire Hidden Leaf Village; otherwise, he would not have dared to visit them.
However, Danzo did not adopt the plan of using Tsunade; instead, he wanted to control the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki through her.
"My dear Danzo, sometimes you're just too naive and think too simply!"
Hoshino sighed inwardly, "Do you think the Third Generation wouldn't see through your little scheme?"
"However, since the boss made a mistake, as his subordinate I can't directly tell him he's wrong. I can only silently point out the shortcomings and make up for them."
Danzo didn't want to use Tsunade as a stepping stone, but Hoshino Shigehisa decided to take her down anyway.
"Sigh, it's simply outrageous that a subordinate like me who cares so much about the boss isn't promoted; it must be the boss's fault."
shhhhhh!
The sound of something cutting through the air interrupted Xingxia Xiu's thoughts.
Ryo Inuzuka, Kurokami, and Ryoma Aburame have arrived.
Xingxia Xiu stood up: "Let's go to the Death Forest!"
He not only had to be a good subordinate, but also a good superior.
Therefore, he needs to increase the difficulty and breadth of the training.
It's not just about improving their ability to deal with illusions, but also their combat skills in all aspects.
