Unlike the slow progress in Yang Release.
For many years, Toshiro's training in Yin Release has advanced rapidly, along with his genjutsu skills, which have also reached a higher level.
Not only the "Sharingan" illusions of his own clan, but he also has considerable expertise in some five-sense illusions.
Especially the visual, auditory, and tactile illusions, which are his main areas of research.
Visual illusions are relatively easy to grasp because they have a slight connection with the "Sharingan," which his clan has in their collection.
Auditory and tactile illusions are rare!
Thanks to his Uchiha identity and the favor of Teacher Shigei, he found some materials in the clan's collection.
As for olfactory and gustatory illusions, even in the well-stocked Uchiha clan's collection, there are no materials available for study.
Only some simple introductions...
It can be said that these two types of illusions are extremely rare!
Throughout Konoha, only the Kurama clan might have some related collections. However, whether these collected illusions have practical value, he was not sure.
Olfactory and gustatory illusions, compared to those directly applicable in combat, seem more suited to prepared situations.
This results in their transmission being somewhat intermittent and unstable. Furthermore, the limitations on application methods make the already rare illusion ninjas less interested in learning these two types of illusions.

A flash of snow-white blade light, starting from Toshiro, aimed directly at the vital points of this Iwa-nin.
Seeing his opponent fall into his genjutsu and having just distanced himself, Toshiro immediately performed the Body Flicker Technique to complete the final strike.
Crack! Crack!
At this moment, the sound of earth and stone rubbing reached his ears.
It made Toshiro's face change just when he was trying to break free from the genjutsu of the Iwa-nin.
He secretly exclaimed, "It's here!"
Though he had prepared somewhat for Jōnin Gosan to choose him as a breakthrough point, given his current state and the recent troubles he caused for the opponent, it was very possible for the opponent to target him.
However, he did not expect the opponent to launch an attack at this moment and grasp the timing so precisely.
Precisely when he performed the Body Flicker Technique to strike this special Jōnin.
He had just initiated the Body Flicker Technique, his entire body moving in a straight line towards the opponent's position.
Unbelievably, at this moment, Jōnin Gosan could create a Doton barrier to obstruct in front of the Iwa-nin.
A poorly executed move might end up crashing into the wall again!
As for why "again"!
This often happened during his previous life's gameplay~
But in this Ninja World, experiencing it for real would be unbearable!
With the speed of the Body Flicker Technique, being interrupted mid-way and crashing would not just mean losing an escape opportunity, or making a team fight fail.
It's his own crash!
The outcome wouldn't be pleasant!
It must be said that this experienced Jōnin truly knew how to make things difficult for Toshiro, grasping the timing brilliantly!
Fortunately, Toshiro wasn't entirely unprepared. During his attack, he didn't use his fastest speed.
At the same time, through the high-definition vision of his "Sharingan," he noticed abnormalities in his path. Coupled with years of rigorous training and physical activation results,
he lightly touched the edge of the barrier with his spare left hand, borrowed a bit of force, and performed a 360-degree spin to fly over the barrier.
Although he managed to dodge the attack, Toshiro didn't dare to be careless. An attack from a Jōnin couldn't possibly be this limited!
Sure enough, before he landed, Toshiro, using his "Sharingan," saw changes at his landing spot.
Swipe! Swipe! Swipe!
Three shuriken impaled themselves into the ground not far from him. Then, with a twist of his wrist, his figure shifted ten meters toward the shuriken.
The faintly visible wires connecting the shuriken indicated he used them to evade another attack.
Furthermore, he reinforced the shuriken's grip on the ground with a bit of chakra through the specially made wires, ensuring a firm anchor point during his maneuver.
"Damn!"
Before he could land, a sense of danger surged through him, making him feel as if there were thorns pricking his back.
Looking down, he saw four black-brown, hard, slender stone spears growing rapidly beneath his feet.
If he couldn't change his landing trajectory in time, the outcome would undoubtedly be disastrous.
Having already changed his landing point once using the shuriken and wires, changing direction again was seemingly impossible.
"Didn't expect the opponent to set up ambushes here too!"
Observing the spears growing slowly in his "Sharingan" vision, he knew their actual growth was rapid.
Landing directly on them would turn him into a pincushion.
The opponent's technique was a simple D-Rank Ninjutsu:
Doton: Earth Stone Spear
This jutsu created four stone spears, resembling bamboo shoots, to impale the enemy at the center from four directions.
Truly vicious!
Clang!
The quickly growing spears completed their growth just as Toshiro landed. Closing together from four directions, the spears' tips collided with a metallic clang.
"Spears (筍)" typically refer to bamboo shoots, or metaphorically, the slender and graceful hands of women,
and in ancient times, also referred to the horizontal wooden bars for hanging bells and other instruments.
