The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 173 Illusion Attack and Defense

"Wow, Brother Shisui, your illusion is so powerful, you almost scared me just now!"

"So are these three-color balls for me to eat?"

When Uchiha Itachi saw that the ninja sword suddenly turned into a three-colored ball, he immediately cheered in surprise.

Then he couldn't wait to take the meatball and started eating it.

Shisui looked dazed, watching helplessly as the three-colored balls transformed from the ninja sword all went into Itachi's stomach...

On a nearby electric pole, a black cat wiped the sweat off its forehead with its front paws in a very anthropomorphic manner and said:

"Fortunately, I caught up."

"Naraku-Knowing Technique..."

"I didn't expect that a D-rank ninjutsu that only makes people see scary things would become so terrifying with the blessing of the Sharingan's pupil power."

"This is quite true to its name. It is enough to make people feel like they are falling into the abyss of hell and see the deepest fear in their hearts..."

"But is it necessary to use such a terrible illusion on your own juniors?"

"Isn't that guy afraid of driving this kid crazy?"

"What, the Uchiha clan is full of lunatics?"

"Okay, that's fine..."

The instant consciousness residing in the blood moon had already noticed the changes in the illusion.

After a while of exploration, he quickly focused his attention on the black cat...

"I didn't expect a mouse to sneak in..."

"Did they take the opportunity to sneak in along the route I invaded? You should be proud enough that you didn't get discovered by me in such a short period of time."

Uchiha Setsuna commented condescendingly.

Then he stretched out his invisible big hand and crushed the black cat that tried to slip away.

"Although I don't know who you are, if you don't want to die, don't interfere in the family affairs of our Uchiha clan!"

In reality, on the ring, Hideki was suddenly stunned, then he scratched his head with a wry smile.

It was a pity that he had finally managed to sneak into the illusion in Shisui's place, but he didn't expect to be kicked out so quickly...

Is this the power of the Sharingan eye technique?

No wonder the mastermind behind this is so confident.

It's a pity that he still missed the variable of himself...

The opponent's illusion level is indeed very high, and the eye chakra is also well disguised and used as little as possible.

So I'm afraid even the Sandaime hasn't been able to detect his conspiracy yet, and probably still thinks Tiehuo is a genius in illusion.

But Hideki, who had read the script in advance, knew that even though he was younger, with Shisui's talent in illusion, it was impossible for him to be suppressed to this extent by Tiehuo.

It just so happens that he is also the referee, and can use perception ninjutsu to conduct precise detection of Shisui at close range.

Therefore, no matter how well the other party disguises themselves, they will be exposed under Hideki's perception.

However, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the martial arts tournament, Hideki only wanted to disrupt the opponent's illusion and make him retreat.

I didn't expect the other party to be so ignorant and shameless.

What is this "Uchiha family affair"?
If it's really a family matter, why don't you solve it within the clan? Why are you making trouble at the martial arts meeting?
This time Hideki was also irritated.

"It's fine if you cheated, but you're still pestering me after being caught..."

"Don't you take me, Thunder Hand Xiu Shu, seriously?"

It's true that he had not systematically studied the knowledge of illusion, so it would not be easy for him to break the illusion blessed by the power of the Sharingan.

But Hideki's brainstorming technique was also derived from the Ninja Theory of the Six Paths Sage.

Through almost daily practice, he has developed his own set of experience in the use of mental power.

For example, the illusion infiltration just now.

For example, before being driven out, he actually left some backup plans in the illusion.

As for whether Shisui can escape from this predicament, it depends on his luck.

If he still can't do it, then Hideki can only stop the game helplessly...

……

In the illusion, Shisui still didn't understand what had just happened.

But soon his right hand lost control again, and he took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag, as if ready to complete the rest of the task...

"Itachi, run away!"

Shisui wanted to shout like this, but unfortunately no sound came out.

Uchiha Itachi seemed unsatisfied after eating a three-colored meatball. He was licking his lips and staring at the kunai in his hand, as if he was expecting him to perform another trick.

But this time, what was going to be played out was probably the scene of the black knife going in and the red knife coming out... Just then, Shisui suddenly heard a slight sound.

At first the sound was so small that it was barely noticeable.

But soon the voice became clear, allowing Shisui to recognize the content:
"Come on, Shisui!"

"Uchiha Fei, we all support you, don't let us down!"

"Hurry up and win the game, we are still waiting to see the battle between Uchiha Fei and the Sarutobi Army!"

"Do you think they will fight each other with yo-yos later?"

Wait, what's with all this cheering?

And the Sarutobi Army...isn't this the role Asuma originally played?
Are they talking about the martial arts conference?

But wasn’t that a long time ago?
Many questions quickly popped up in Shisui's mind.

While thinking about the answer, he also noticed some inconsistencies in his memory, and his eyes became clearer.

The right hand that was originally holding a kunai and ready to stab Itachi was barely suppressed by him, and the situation fell into a stalemate.

"Damn it! That mouse actually has a trick up his sleeve!"

Uchiha Setsuna was a little crazy because his final attempts were blocked twice.

He investigated again and soon found out the reason.

"So it was to bypass my blockade and use chakra to temporarily act as an auditory nerve, so that Shisui could hear the sounds outside."

"And he hid his chakra in Shisui's chakra, making it difficult for me to remove it, so as not to wake up Shisui."

"Does this guy really think this little trick can stop me?"

Although he said this in his heart, Setsuna still had a bad feeling.

After all, no matter how sophisticated his illusions were, they could not compose Shisui's experiences over the years without any flaws.

Before, he just relied on guiding Shisui's thinking to make him ignore these problems.

Once there is a new source of information, Shisui's thinking is no longer completely under his control, and he will quickly realize the loopholes in this world.

In this way, even if he forcibly controlled Shisui to kill Fugaku's child, he would not be able to achieve the effect he wanted, and even his previous efforts would be wasted.

In order to avoid wasting all his efforts, he did not care about the problem of being exposed and began to increase the transmission of his pupil chakra.

As long as it can make Shisui wake up, everything will be worth it.

Therefore, with the help of his pupil power, Shisui's eyes in reality and illusion began to become dim again.

Especially in the illusion, his right hand holding the kunai began to tremble violently again, and it was obvious that he was about to lose control again.

Only the cheers from everyone around him kept Shisui's mind clear, and he didn't let the butcher's knife fall...

However, Setsuna's voice also began to ring in his ears, trying to drown out the cheers of everyone:
"Give up, Shisui!"

"Do you really think that you can resist the illusion I cast by relying on the cheap cheers of these spectators?"

"Most of them don't even yell your name, it's just a made-up character."

"To put it bluntly, what they like is the perfect character in the story, not you, Uchiha Shisui yourself!"

"After a while, this feeling will fade away. There is no point in holding on to it!!"

Although Shisui tried to ignore the other party's voice, these words still penetrated into his heart.

Perhaps it was because of Uchiha Setsuna's superb skills.

Or maybe he really hit the nail on the head about Shisui's deepest doubts.

Shisui was of course very happy that everyone liked the characters he played.

But he was not doing it for himself, he was more hoping that everyone would love him and share this love with the entire Uchiha clan.

But even in normal times, everyone likes to confuse him with Uchiha Fei, which still makes Shisui feel helpless.

Because this would make him feel that this kind of love is like a castle on the beach, which could be destroyed by a small wave at any time.

Is it really okay to enjoy this kind of love that is piled on fiction?
Although it seems to have nothing to do with the current predicament.

But the trick to an illusion duel is to target the opponent's mental flaws.

Especially the Naraku-ken technique, which takes the opponent's fear as its main target. How could it miss the rare flaw in Shisui's mind?

However, what Uchiha Setsuna did not expect was that the question he raised was also asked by Shisui to Hideki.

So his doubts actually brought back Shisui's memories.

Shisui remembered that the conversation took place in Mr. Hideki's office.

And after he expressed his thoughts, Teacher Hideki suddenly smiled and said something unorthodox:

"Even if it's fake, what's the harm?"
