Only I can make Konoha Village great again.

【Heart Severing Boundary】originates from the secret technique of the mountain clan, 【Heart to Heart Technique】.

After returning from the mountains, he practiced a secret technique. As he practiced, the technique inexplicably mutated, and he gained this additional ability.

The mind cannot perceive chakra fluctuations or natural energy; it can only perceive emotional fluctuations.

It is well known that any intelligent being, as long as it is alive, will experience emotional fluctuations.

Furthermore, ninjas are completely unaware of emotional perception, so no one would deliberately guard against this, which conveniently benefited Yamanaka Hatsukyu.

However, the Heart-Severing Realm senses emotions, but the Mountain-Central Nine may not be able to understand them. If they cannot understand them, they cannot distinguish them from the massive emotional fluctuations.

The better one understands the target's inner thoughts, the more accurately one can discern the target's emotions from a greater distance, and the higher the precision of the location pinpointed.

This is where the disadvantages of time travelers become apparent. Yamanaka Hatsukyu is not a native of the ninja world and cannot identify with ninja culture. He can't understand any ninjas at all.

If you can't understand a ninja's emotions, you can't discern them from a safe distance, which means your Heart Severing Boundary is useless.

Fortunately, the mutation of the secret technique did not occupy the secret technique skill slot, so Yamanaka Hatsukyu is still a qualified Yamanaka ninja.

Until the outbreak of the Third Shinobi World War, when Yamanaka Hatsukyu was conscripted to the front lines and experienced the Ino-Shika-Cho trio annihilating him, he finally understood part of the ninja mentality.

All ninjas share one unwavering thought: survival!

From then on, Yamanaka Chukyu was not only able to distinguish between friend and foe ninjas and accurately pinpoint their locations, but his perception range also reached an astonishing two thousand meters.

It even surpasses the limits of the Hyuga clan's Byakugan.

Even more terrifying is that once the Heart Severing Realm is mastered, it can condense the thoughts of Chu Jiu in the mountains into fine threads to entangle the enemy. Even if only one thread of thought is entangled, and it penetrates slightly into the mind, it can hypnotize the enemy into ignoring Chu Jiu's existence.

If he can entangle more threads of thought around the enemy, Yamanaka Chukyu can temporarily turn the enemy into a puppet, controlling him like the Mind Concentration Technique, and using his body to fight.

Theoretically, it is possible to deeply control the mind of a target and permanently alter their self-perception, including gender, values, and memories.

When cognition changes significantly enough, it is no longer a temporary puppetization, but a complete transformation into a living puppet.

Able to think for themselves, live, cultivate, and fight independently, continuously becoming stronger, but absolutely obedient to the will of Shan Zhong Chu Jiu, a living puppet that can sacrifice itself at any time, perhaps it can be called an external avatar.

In comparison, the puppets of Sunagakure are utterly pathetic.

Unfortunately, this is just theory; living ninjas have a natural instinct and will fiercely resist.

Let alone turning him into a living puppet, even temporary control would be difficult to achieve.

Therefore, the thought threads automatically wrapped around Uchiha Shisui, which is why Yamanaka Hatsukyu was so surprised.

Moreover, the threads of thought that automatically entwine themselves are not of one kind, and their speed of invading the mind is incredibly fast.

In just a few minutes, Shan Zhong Chu Jiu discovered that Zhi Shui's perception of preferences could be changed, and even his perception of gender seemed to be able to be altered...

To be honest, it feels really strange!

A surge of impulse welled up inside Shan Zhong Chu Jiu. He wanted to reverse Zhi Shui's gender identity and make him feel like he was her, which would be incredibly fun!

Shan Zhongchu Jiu finally restrained his impulse.

Changing gender perceptions is too superficial; it's purely self-defeating and only a fool would do that.

The Uchiha ninjas from the security department quickly figured out the situation. They coldly knocked on the doors of every house on the street, demanding that the homeowners come out and explain.

Just as Chu Jiu had predicted, all the homeowners produced their land and house certificates, while the villagers were unable to produce any proof.

The villagers were stunned. They didn't know what to do and could only cry and repeatedly recount the facts.

The Uchiha ninjas from the security department weren't stupid. They looked at the brand-new certificate with grim faces and knew there was something wrong with it without even needing to verify it.

How could a certificate issued several years, or even more than a decade ago, possibly be brand new?

The stamp on it isn't completely dry yet!

But the Uchiha clan members were also helpless, as this was not the first similar incident today.

Upon seeing such obviously fake credentials for the first time, the Uchiha gang immediately apprehended the homeowner and took him to the Hokage Building for verification.

However, the definitely problematic document matches the archived document, which not only has a seal but also the Third Hokage's handwritten signature.

The Uchiha clan had no choice but to comply with the homeowners' demands and drive the poor villagers to the northeast corner of the village, where they would temporarily reside in a shantytown.

Yamanaka Chujiu, who witnessed all of this, felt heavy-hearted, and the children with him had many thoughts on the matter.

For example: Why would the relatives of fellow ninjas disappear?

With chattering teeth, Fengji Chunya asked, "Brother Chu Jiu, is this what you meant by being killed after falling below the execution threshold?"

Yamanaka Chujiu nodded: "Yes, and it's not a helpless execution due to lack of money, but the most shameless, violent, and ruthless execution."

Yano Shoichi's face was pale: "Brother Hatsugu, let's go. Let's go and cultivate the wasteland. I don't want to fall below the killing line. I don't want to be driven away by the Uchiha ninjas."

Yamanaka Chujiu glanced at the shadows on the street, then looked away and said, "Let's go."

After passing through the bustling streets, we arrived at the commercial street of Konoha Village and purchased farming tools and seeds as planned.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, Shan Zhong also bought a lot of snacks to share with the children.

The children ate carefully, but no one laughed, and he couldn't feel any happiness.

The group silently left the neighborhood, crossed the Konoha River that runs through Konoha Village, and arrived at the desolate hillside of the Mountain Clan.

Just then, two Root ninjas with intricate facial markings, who had followed them all the way, appeared and blocked everyone's path.

At the same time, two more Root ninjas appeared behind Yamanaka Hatsukyu.

They concealed their murderous intent and stealthily advanced, their weapons aimed directly at Chu Jiu's heart and kidneys.

The two ANBU ninjas in front drew their weapons and slashed at the dumbfounded children.

Without warning or control, they were about to kill him.

This is very much in line with the style of the Roots.

Yamanaka Chukyu did not answer, nor did he defend or dodge. Instead, he coldly glanced at the four Root ninjas.

When the Root ninja who launched the attack rushed in front of the child, he suddenly put away his weapon and knelt down on the ground.

Shan Zhongchu raised his chin and gave a disgruntled snort.

These Root ninjas in the village haven't been thoroughly brainwashed.

Once the thought has become entangled in the mind, it takes an extra second to delve deeper before a superficial level of mental control can be achieved.

Those Root ninjas who were released from the village and carried out missions independently are still better.

They have been repeatedly and destructively brainwashed, and are all brain-dead with single-minded thoughts. They have long lost their self-awareness and are very close to being puppets.

A normal ninja controlled by Yamanaka Hatsukyu using his mental threads would instinctively struggle frantically, and could only be subject to shallow hypnosis or brief control.

However, a mature ANBU ninja has no self; once entangled by the threads of thought, they can instantly achieve deep mental control.

Without self-resistance, mind control will continue to deepen, and one will soon become a living puppet of Shan Zhongchu Jiu.

To this, the ninth day can only say:
