Talent Tree Ninja: I Can Upgrade My Abilities

"Shuichi!"

Uchiha Shisui, who was meditating in the valley, appeared in front of Hoshita Shuichi.

However, when their eyes met, Uchiha Shisui immediately found something wrong. The moment Hoshita Shuichi was reflected in his eyes, the three-magatama Sharingan appeared, and a beam of chakra light was seen whizzing towards him.

"Illusion?"

As the thought came to Uchiha Shisui's mind, the scene around him changed, and he was back in Konoha Village, standing on the roof.

"It is indeed an illusion..."

Uchiha Shisui looked around, and it was exactly the same as the Konoha Village he remembered: "Is this the illusion that Shuichi is developing?"

"My Mirror Heaven and Earth Rotation has completely lost its effectiveness..."

"Besides, this place is not simple."

Uchiha Shisui got off the roof and came to a busy street.

There are people coming and going here, cats and dogs walking by, children playing, people arguing over prices, the scent of flowers, the wind blowing up the corners of clothes, and even members of the Uchiha clan's security force patrolling.

Everything is so real and so familiar.

Uchiha Shisui observed carefully, but did not find any flaws.

Vision, smell, touch, hearing... even Uchiha Shisui bought an apple to taste, and the taste was so real.

"This is not something that can be achieved by deceiving the five senses."

"Spiritual space?"

Uchiha Shisui smiled: "It seems that Shuichi has developed an incredible illusion!"

Suddenly, Uchiha Shisui stopped and two ninjas dressed as ANBU appeared in front of him.

One of them spoke up: "Uchiha Shisui, Lord Danzo wants to see you!"

Uchiha Shisui's eyes fixed: "Understood, lead the way!"

The two Root ninjas immediately jumped up and disappeared, and Uchiha Shisui followed, but he was wondering in his heart if this scene was something that Hoshita Shuichi had experienced before.

Hoshita Shuichi once talked to him about the conflict with Danzo.

Not long after, Uchiha Shisui followed the two Root ninjas to a remote grove and met Danzo.

"Danzo-sama!"

Uchiha Shisui greeted.

Danzo looked at Uchiha Shisui and said, "Uchiha Shisui, you are the only one in the Uchiha clan who has transcended clanism."

"You are also the most powerful illusion ninja in the Uchiha clan, so join the Root!"

"The Root is the best place for you. In the darkness, use your Sharingan to protect Konoha."

Uchiha Shisui listened calmly: "Danzo-sama, entering the Root requires the approval of the Third Hokage and the clan leader, so I can't promise you here."

The refusal was decisive. On the one hand, Uchiha Shisui knew that this was an illusion, and on the other hand, even if he really encountered such a thing, he would not be tempted.

Because everyone in the Uchiha clan knew that among the Konoha high-ranking officials, the one who was most hostile to the Uchiha was Danzo.

Not calling him by his name showed his self-restraint, and he had not yet completed the promotion to jonin.

If he completes the promotion to Jonin, Danzo will be on the same level as him and it will be fine to call him by his name.

Danzo's eyes darkened when he heard this: "I will take care of the Third Hokage myself, and I believe Uchiha Fugaku will be very happy to do so."

"You should know that we in Konoha also have Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, right?"

"Your Sharingan can control the tailed beasts and the Jinchūriki, which is very important. As the existence that protects Konoha in the darkness, the Root must ensure that the Jinchūriki does not go berserk."

"So, come on... join the Roots!"

"Here you can display your talents and show that you are above clan!"

Uchiha Shisui frowned secretly after hearing this, because although this was clearly an illusion, it made him feel more and more immersed.

Especially Danzo and others in front of him, whether it was their behavioral habits or the feeling of chakra, they were the same as he knew.

"Does Shuichi's illusion even deceive spiritual perception?"

Thinking in his heart, Uchiha Shisui refused again and said: "The village's tailed beast Jinchuriki will naturally be protected by people arranged by the Third Hokage."

Danzo couldn't help but look gloomy when he heard this: "How foolish!"

"As an Uchiha, he doesn't even know how to use his Sharingan."

"In that case, leave it to me for safekeeping!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Danzo suddenly appeared in front of Uchiha Shisui and stretched out his claws to grab Uchiha Shisui's eyes.

Uchiha Shisui watched quietly, but his eyes suddenly changed, three magatama appeared, and froze Danzo in place.

"As expected, the eyes that can control the tailed beasts and the Jinchūriki..."

Danzo's body trembled slightly, but he was unable to break free.

At this time, the four Root ninjas behind took action, and Uchiha Shisui immediately retreated.

But just when he was dealing with the four Root Ninjas one after another, Danzo suddenly appeared.

"What?"

Uchiha Shisui was startled, and the next moment he was hit hard on the chin, followed by the face, and his reaction ability plummeted instantly.

But Danzo seized the opportunity and cut off Uchiha Shisui's right eye.

"ah!"

Uchiha Shisui screamed in pain and quickly retreated into the forest.

But at this time, Root Ninjas appeared in the forest, and a large number of shurikens flew towards them.

At this moment, Uchiha Shisui had forgotten that this was an illusion. He tried his best to use the instant body movement technique to avoid it. He ran through the forest at the fastest speed, then turned around and used the great fireball technique to block the pursuing Root ninja.

"Next is the left eye..."

Danzo's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Uchiha Shisui turned around and saw an extremely sharp airflow sweeping towards him.

Wind Release - Vacuum Wave!

Uchiha Shisui immediately jumped up to avoid it and threw shurikens in the air.

Danzo dodged and a shuriken appeared in his hand. He opened his mouth and blew into the shuriken, which rotated and added with extremely sharp wind chakra, and then threw it at Uchiha Shisui one after another.

Fire Release-Great Fireball!

Uchiha Shisui used the technique again, and then wanted to use illusion control again, but the next moment his vision fell into complete darkness.

"Oh no...it's the Darkness Technique!"

As soon as his body landed on the ground, Uchiha Shisui felt a stinging pain coming from his left eye.

But just when he thought he was going to be killed by Danzo, the severe pain quickly subsided and the roar of a waterfall rang in his ears.

Uncovering his eyes with his hands, Uchiha Shisui looked at Hoshita Shuichi who was smiling gently in front of him, but he couldn't help but gasp: "Shuichi...what was that illusion just now?"

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "The Demon Realm - Memory Palace, based on the Hidden Leaf Village as a template, is transformed into a spiritual space."

"Because it is based on my memory, it has a lot of details. Of course, on the surface, these don't mean much. After all, the victim knows that he is under an illusion."

Uchiha Shisui had recovered and asked, "But the ninja inside, the chakra, and the pain caused by the attack, even I can't tell the difference."

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said: "Chakra is real, but the perception given by chakra is wrong and deceptive."

"Because I can't simulate other people's chakra yet, but because I am a perception ninja, I can graft my own perception onto yours to complete the deception."

Uchiha Shisui thought for a moment, "So the battle just now... can be said to be real?"

"That's you?"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "You can say it's all me."

"It's just that I used their fighting style."

"Of course, the technique to break free from your shackles is an exception."

He has no way of mastering the Izanagi technique.

Uchiha Shisui suddenly realized, and then gave a thumbs up: "Great!"

"It should be very difficult to break this illusion."

He thought, "If I want to unlock it and free my spirit from the illusion, I should defeat you in the illusion, right?"

"But, according to what you said, chakra is real, so it is almost impossible to defeat you with mental will!"

Hoshita Shuichi heard this and shook his head: "Shisui, you underestimate the strength of human spirit."

"You have to know that human chakra is formed by the combination of spiritual power and physical power."

"But the human body is a combination of spirit and body."

"Just now in the illusion, the power you used was not illusory."

"If your mental will is strong enough, you can display the same strength in the illusion as you do outside."

As he said this, he thought of the scene in the original work where Uchiha Obito lent his Mangekyō to Kakashi after his death.

It seems very outrageous.

But now that I understand chakra more and more, I find that it is not that outrageous.

Because at that time Uchiha Obito had entered the Six Paths level.

He had previously become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and to some extent had reached the level of the Sage Of Six Path.

The Sage Of Six Path can give strength to Naruto and Nijirusei, and Uchiha Obito can certainly lend his eye power to Kakashi.

Especially since Kakashi had previously possessed Uchiha Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan, this is a very important foundation.

Uchiha Shisui fell into deep thought after hearing this.

And Hoshita Shuichi was also organizing the experiment just now.

Obviously, the illusion was completed, but in terms of control, it was obviously not comparable to Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyo Tsukuyomi.

Kakashi was tied up and had no power to resist, so he could only take the stabbing passively.

But illusions are used for control. Even if it only controls for 1 second, with Hoshita Shuichi's speed, it is enough to kill the enemy seven or eight times.

Moreover, this technique has also been recognized by the talent tree.

S-level illusion!

At this time, Uchiha Shisui asked: "Shuichi, if I saw it correctly just now, you invaded my brain through my eyes, right?"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "Indeed."

"Of course, it doesn't have to be through the eyes, but the eyes are the eyes of the mind, so it's a shortcut."

However, he learned a lesson from Uchiha Shisui that it was nothing for other ninjas to invade through their eyes.

Never do this against the Uchiha clan, especially those with strong eye powers.

Just now his invasion was almost blocked by Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan.

Because he used his spiritual clone to invade.

The so-called spiritual clone is developed from the art of spiritualization, similar to the spiritual shadow clone performed in the spiritual state after performing the art of spiritualization.

However, at the moment, Hoshita Shuichi does not need to use the spirit transformation technique first and then use the spirit clone, otherwise it will be meaningless to him.

It is precisely because of this that this technique has not been completed until today.

The spiritual clone has all the characteristics of a spirit, but the chakra it carries is limited. It also has the characteristics of a shadow clone, and its memory and experience can be fed back after it is released.

Therefore, in the illusion, the ones fighting against Uchiha Shisui were actually Danzo and Root, who were transformed from Hoshita Shuichi's spiritual clone.

Hoshita Shuichi made the final summary.

Although the controllability of this illusion is not as good as Tsukuyomi, it does not require eye contact to release.

The invasion of the spiritual clone cannot be stopped by ordinary forces.

Even without eye techniques such as the Sharingan or the Byakugan, there is no way to see the existence of spirits.

However, the purpose of Hoshita Shuichi developing this illusion was not to attack. On the one hand, it was required by the talent tree, and on the other hand, it was actually to deal with similar illusions.

For example, Tsukuyomi!

So, after finishing the summary, Hoshita Shuichi said: "Shisui, please use the Tenzohang technique to attack me."

Uchiha Shisui instantly grasped the key point: "Shuichi's mental attack method just now can also be used for defense, or it can be said that it was your way of invading me."

"As expected of Shisui!"

Hoshita Shuichi gave a thumbs up: "Indeed."

Uchiha Shisui smiled and said, "Then you better be prepared, I will use my full strength."

As he spoke his three-magatama Sharingan reappeared.

The four looked into each other's eyes and the Illusion - the art of shackles and hanging was activated.

In Hoshita Shuichi's spiritual world, a spiritual clone was nailed by a wedge and could not move.

However, his main consciousness was not fixed and he was still able to control his body.

Uchiha Shisui also felt it: "This... Shuichi, this feeling is like..."

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "It seems to be successful."

Uchiha Shisui felt very strange: "Shuichi, you have been hit by the technique... the clone and the substitute?"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "Not bad."

"A spiritual clone, and then a substitute."

Uchiha Shisui could only admire after hearing this: "Shuichi, your attainments in clones, substitutes, and transformations are simply unmatched."

The basic three-body technique has been used to great effect by Hoshita Shuichi.

Just as Hoshita Shuichi was about to say something humble, Asuka jumped in from outside the valley: "Shuichi, Shisui, the Kiri Ninja has launched a large-scale invasion against us!"

Hoshita Shuichi and Uchiha Shisui both looked at him when they heard this.

It's finally here!

Since the end of last month, the Kiri Ninjas have begun harassing the east coast of the Fire Nation.

This is the beginning of the intelligence war, in preparation for a massive invasion.

And now the Kiri Ninja finally took action.

Hoshita Shuichi immediately asked, "Did the intelligence tell us about the strength of the Kiri Ninja?"

Asuka stopped in front of Hoshita Shuichi and nodded, "Lord Orochimaru said that the Kiri Ninja's force this time exceeded 2,000, most of them landed on the east coast, and some of them invaded from the Tea Country in the southern peninsula to the north."

Uchiha Shisui said: "More than 2000, it seems that the Kiri Ninja is very determined."

This number is already quite a lot. You know, the Kiri Ninja had already lost thousands of people in the River Country before.

And this is the first batch.

Hoshita Shuichi was not surprised and said, "Even if it is to avenge the people who were killed before, the Kiri Ninja will go crazy."

"This is just the beginning."

"Sister Asuka, have the Suna Ninjas received reinforcements?"

Asuka nodded solemnly: "According to my perception, the number of Suna Ninjas on the front line has increased to more than 1,000."

Hoshita Shuichi frowned, not because of the Suna Ninja's military strength, and after thinking for a while he asked, "Is there any news about the war between the Iwa Ninja and the Suna Ninja?"

"Yes, there are."

Asuka smiled and said, "Lord Orochimaru guessed you would ask."

"The war between the Suna Ninja and the Iwa Ninja is still at a stalemate, and there is no large-scale fighting."

"Shuichi, are you worried that the Sand and Iwa Ninjas will suddenly make peace?"

Uchiha Shisui listened and analyzed: "Given the conflict between Suna Village and Iwagakure, peace talks should be very difficult."

"Although Shuichi revealed the power of Lava Release during the battle against the Kiri Ninja, this is not enough to clear the suspicion of the Iwa Ninja killing the Third Kazekage."

"Not to mention that the Iwa Ninja invaded the Wind Country first, and the Suna Ninja's hero, Scorch Release, Pakura, was also killed by the Iwa Ninja."

"Even if the Fourth Kazekage is willing to negotiate, the entire Suna Ninja will not agree."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded and said, "Shisui, you are right. The Suna Village will not openly propose peace talks."

"And the Iwagakure... probably won't either. The Third Tsuchikage is not someone that easy to talk to."

"The death of the Third Kazekage had nothing to do with them. They are admitting their mistakes by proposing peace talks."

"but..."

Hoshita Shuichi changed the subject: "For the Suna Ninja and the Iwa Ninja, there is no point in continuing this war."

"The Iwa Ninjas have no benefit. It is impossible for the Suna Ninjas to conquer the Land of Birds, but their goal of expelling the Iwa Ninjas has been achieved. Rasa took this opportunity to become the Fourth Kazekage and established his prestige."

"But now they can have common interests."

Uchiha Shisui and Asuka were both shocked when they heard this and exclaimed in unison: "The Land of Fire!"

"Let's go back!"

Hoshita Shuichi packed up his things and took Uchiha Shisui and Asuka back to the base camp.
