Chapter 97: Puppetry (Fake)
"Genjutsu!"
After traveling most of the way through the clan's territory, Hyuga Hoshicai, who was walking slowly along the clan's commercial street, suddenly paused.
She found herself losing control of her body.
However, she was not at all panicked about this situation.
Continuing to be controlled by the power coming from afar, Hyuga Hoshicai's movements gradually accelerated, and she rushed towards a dense forest outside the clan's territory.
Chakra was concentrated on the soles of her feet, and she deftly performed many complex movements, leaping between branches, and even forming hand seals to use ninjutsu.
Yes, hand seals are used to perform ninjutsu.
Although Hoshicai has never learned any ninjutsu, under the control of that consciousness, she can use ninjutsu extremely flexibly, although in this process, there is a certain sense of stagnation in the technique of making hand seals.
But this feeling is fading with time, and that consciousness is gradually integrating with her body.
Quickly, she took a few steps back before she felt the feeling of being controlled return to her.
"It seems that this distance is the limit if you don't resist."
A familiar voice sounded in her mind, and Hoshicai quickly replied respectfully: "Is there anything else I need to do next? Lord Ryosuke."
He is no longer Master Ryosuke, but Lord Ryosuke.
In the past, she respected Ryosuke because of his status and talent.
But now, Hoshicai has discovered that Ryosuke's true strength is stronger than her own, so it is no longer respect, but true submission.
"Next, you try to resist my control."
Far away in Hyuga's main house, Ryosuke sat in the empty courtyard, looking at the trees in front of him that were gradually becoming sparse.
Autumn... is almost over.
A long time has passed since returning from the Land of Waves.
The boring training life is not boring for Ryosuke.
Just as he thought at the beginning, if there was no time travel, if it was in the previous life.
If he could get a book on cultivating immortals by chance, he would definitely not go around wandering around like in some third-rate TV dramas, but would study it diligently, even if he was alone all the time.
Compared to the chaos of the world and the vanity of life, what could be more desirable than self-improvement and watching the level of your life improve bit by bit?
The practice of the Five Elements and on Yin-Yang is not simple.
Just mastering one of the property changes took Ryosuke a lot of effort.
After carefully considering his current abilities, he chose to start researching the Yin among the Yin-Yang techniques.
Yin-Yang is a secret technique different from the Five Elements. Most of the secret techniques passed down by secret technique families are developed and constructed based on the Yin-Yang attributes.
Among them, the Yang symbolizes the power of body and life, while the Yin symbolizes the spirit and soul.
All genjutsu in this world are extensions of Yin . The deeper the research on Yin attribute and the more complete the attainments, the more real a genjutsu may seem, making it difficult to break free.
Based on the research and understanding of the Yinattribute during this period, the genjutsu ability awakened by Ryosuke's Byakugan has also been improved.
The range of people that can be controlled is not limited to those in front of one's eyes, but can be controlled remotely through a certain sensory range.
Now, Ryosuke was testing the limits of his abilities.
His sensory has extended very far along with the Hyuga district.
This feeling was very strange, as if he had two consciousnesses, one was sitting in the courtyard of the main house, and the other had already gone to the outside world with Hinata Hoshicai.
"I will first try to control the chakra in my body and disrupt the influence of your genjutsu."
Through the medium of the Byakugan, Hinata Hoshisai communicated directly with Ryosuke across most of the clan's territory.
The method to dispel illusions is generally to disrupt the flow of one's own chakra, thereby cutting off the influence of the enemy's genjutsu on oneself.
But this is the general case.
Through the use of eye techniques, or genjutsu cast by those who are skilled in illusion techniques, it is possible to make the victim lose control of chakra, making it impossible to remove the genjutsu.
In this case, the simplest way is usually for your partner to input chakra from the outside to interrupt the influence of the genjutsu.
The relatively difficult self-rescue method will greatly test the practitioner's understanding of the yin attribute and the accuracy of his or her own chakra control.
When Hoshicai began to try to resist according to his words, Ryosuke could clearly feel that his chakra was being consumed rapidly, and the flow rate was much faster than before when she did not resist.
Originally, Hoshicai did not resist, and he could easily control her body, including the chakra in her body.
But now, after she tried to resist, it was not easy for Ryosuke to control her body, especially her chakra, which was fighting against his and could no longer be controlled as smoothly as before.
However, it is still within an acceptable range. If one wants to suppress it forcibly with a huge amount of chakra, it is not impossible to do so.
After the second transformation, the amount of chakra in Ryosuke's body has undergone a qualitative leap, so this consumption is still affordable for him.
"That's it, come back."
Ryosuke gave up his control over Hoshicai.
"Yes!"
Hoshicai replied with great difficulty, it seemed that this kind of resistance was not easy for her.
The experiment was over and Ryosuke withdrew his genjutsu.
In his eye sockets, the pupils that emitted a faint fluorescence gradually returned to calm.
Since it is a test capability, it is definitely necessary to give priority to possible adverse situations.
Just like what happened just now, a situation where the two parties are fighting for control of the body may occur while the controlled person retains consciousness.
In this case, Ryosuke needs to expend more energy to suppress the consciousness of the person being controlled, and the chakra will be consumed quickly in the process.
The ability of the controlled person to resist depends on his understanding of Yin attribute and the accuracy of his own chakra control.
But this is a more troublesome situation and is a less likely possibility.
Because Ryosuke's genjutsu is not just about controlling people.
When controlling, he can completely pull the consciousness of the controlled person into the genjutsu world he constructed.
As long as the other party does not notice anything unusual, he will continue to sink into the genjutsu world and will not be able to be alert or resist his control.
Therefore, if the battle is not particularly long-lasting, the control of this genjutsu ability can still be effective.
Especially... when Ryosuke doesn't plan to show his face yet.
Hoshicai was still on her way back, so he was not idle either.
Next to it is a scroll.
The above records the list of people traveling to the Land of Waves one week later.
Among them, the Hyuga clan is still the original group of people.
But in addition to the Hyuga, there were two more groups of people.
One of the groups is the representatives of Konoha Village headed by Homura Mitokado.
The other group is the Land of Fire nobles represented by the Land of Fire envoys.
