Naruto: My setting is above yours.

Hashirama Senju introduced him as "Genma Mikazuki, a very outstanding junior in the village. He misses you very much. He and Tsuna are close friends despite their age difference."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju immediately gave Genma a sharp look.

Aside from being a bit handsome, he's nothing special.

Genma ignored the stares and said to Hashirama Senju, "Lady Tsunade has gone out. Would the First Hokage like to go out for a stroll?"

Hashirama Senju nodded: "It seems you have something to ask Tobirama, so I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, he used the transformation technique.

Since the summoned being is in a spirit form, it's definitely not suitable to go outside, so a transformation spell is needed.

In this state, they also use Genma's chakra.

Or rather, it is Genma's chakra that allows them to reliably appear in reality.

Before Tobirama could even react after the transformation was activated, Hashirama had already fled.

"How is the village now?"

After a moment of silence, Tobirama Senju asked, "Who is the Hokage now?"

Genma said, "The village is doing quite well now, and the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, is in power."

"It's a monkey."

Tobirama Senju nodded, feeling much relieved.

He trusted the successor he chose himself.

"My brother said you have something to ask me. What is it?"

Tobirama Senju asked again.

He was happy to offer guidance to outstanding younger generations in the village.

Not to mention that this child has gained the approval of both his brother and his granddaughter Tsunade.

Moreover, the technique they used to summon spirits was clearly unusual; it wasn't the Impure World Reincarnation technique he had developed.

Genma became serious: "Second Hokage, it's about genjutsu. I want to develop a powerful genjutsu myself."

"I've heard that you have extensive experience in developing ninjutsu, so I'd like to ask you for advice."

Tobirama Senju pointed, then sat down on the ground.

Xuanma also sat down cross-legged opposite him.

"Developing new techniques? How skilled are you in illusion magic?"

Tobirama Senju bluntly stated, "If you don't have a good grasp of the material, it's best not to aim too high."

"To develop techniques, you must have a sufficiently strong foundation."

Xuanma truthfully replied, "Besides a few low-level illusions, I previously developed a binding technique called Golden Binding Technique, which can be rated as B-level in difficulty."

Tobirama Senju was slightly surprised: "You've already developed genjutsu?"

How old are you now?

Genma smiled and said, "Just turned 10!"

10岁？

Tobirama Senju couldn't help but glance at Genma again.

Doesn't look like a 10-year-old.

What was I doing when I was 10 years old?

After thinking it over, Tobirama Senju finally concluded: His brother was skipping stones with Madara at the time?!

Chapter 58 Flowers Bloom in an Instant (Third Update)

He really is a genius!

Tobirama Senju snapped out of his thoughts, his expression turning serious: "Use the Golden Binding Technique you developed on me first!"

As he spoke, Tobirama Senju raised his hand, formed a hand seal, and created a shadow clone.

His true form is a spirit, using Genma's chakra, but his shadow clones are physical entities with flesh and blood, which can be used as targets.

Genma raised his hand to form a Yin seal, unleashing the Demonic Spider Binding technique to forcefully control Tobirama Senju's shadow clone.

The clone of Tobirama Senju only froze for a moment before breaking free from the control of the illusion.

Xuanma was surprised.

This was the first time someone had broken free from his technique.

Although he hadn't encountered many opponents before, his strongest was his teacher, Sakumo Hatake.

Sakumo Hatake himself is not proficient in casting illusions, but he is proficient in dispelling illusions.

Then there's Tsunade, who isn't very good at casting genjutsu, but is extremely skilled at breaking it.

And none of them could undo the spell.

Tobirama Senju broke free in the blink of an eye; if the distance had been greater, it would have had no effect whatsoever.

However, after thinking about Tobirama Senju's record, Genma felt relieved.

After all, even with his Mangekyou Sharingan, Uchiha Izuna couldn't completely control Senju Tobirama using genjutsu.

Tobirama Senju was also surprised: "You have your brother's cells inside you, no, not your brother's cells."

"Very good chakra!"

Tobirama Senju felt he had misjudged the situation, and he was also slightly surprised by Genma's chakra reserves.

Upon dispelling the clone and receiving feedback from the memories, Tobirama Senju was once again surprised.

This child's Yin Release power is very strong, even comparable to the power of the Uchiha clan's Mangekyou Sharingan.

The shadow clone technique feels similar to the genjutsu used against Izuna Uchiha back then.

For a moment, Tobirama Senju couldn't help but feel a sense of appreciation for his talent: "Your Yin Release skills are quite impressive. You are indeed suited to developing your own genjutsu; that would be the most suitable for you!"

"We'll skip the basic theories of illusion and just remember one thing: the essence of Yin Dun is to create form from nothingness, and in illusion, it's about turning the illusory into the real."

"Of course, this is very difficult to do, even the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan would find it difficult."

Upon hearing this, Genma thought of the Uchiha clan's Izanagi technique and the Kurama clan's control over the five senses.

Tobirama Senju continued, "In the ninja world, only the Kurama clan of that time could do this. Their clan had a bloodline limit called the control of the five senses, which allowed them to turn illusions into real attacks."

Genma seemed to be deep in thought: "Second Generation, do you mean we can't be confined to any one of the five senses, but rather we should use all five senses to create reality?"

Tobirama Senju smiled approvingly: "That is indeed the direction we should be heading."

"Humans perceive the world through touch, smell, taste, sight, and hearing, so illusions are almost always related to these senses."

"If your five senses tell your brain that something is real, then even if it's fake, it's still real to you."

Tobirama Senju wasn't asking Genma to develop a powerful illusion technique that could turn illusion into reality, but rather pointing him in a direction.

In other words, turning falsehood into truth is a process, a direction to strive for. If the direction is right and the mastery of Yin Escape is sufficient, then it won't be bad!

Genma grasped this point as well, and with a sudden flash of inspiration, he immediately had an idea and said with a smile, "Second Hokage, I understand!"

Tobirama Senju said, "It seems you have an idea?"

Xuanma nodded: "The technique I want to develop is called 'Flowers Bloom in an Instant'."

"My first goal is to make a flower that is not yet in bloom bloom under my illusion!"

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju nodded: "A very good idea."

"However, this is probably more difficult than making people believe that what they see and hear is real."

"But if you can do that, you can be called a master of illusion!"

Xuanma smiled and said, "I will try my best!"

If you can't do it yourself, then change the settings!

The key is to have a direction, a clear goal; otherwise, you won't even know how to modify the settings.

"Second Grandfather?"

A sudden exclamation interrupted their conversation.

Looking back, I saw that it was Tsunade and the others who had returned.

Make way for the grandfather and grandson to catch up, and Xuanma and Shizune go to the corridor to talk.

A moment later, Tobirama Senju and Tsunade also came out.

Xuanma continued to ask questions, but this time he brought up the Yin-Yang Escape Technique.

"Yin-Yang Escape Technique?"

Tobirama Senju asked, "You also know Yang Release?"

Shizune chimed in, "Second Hokage, Genma's Yang Release is no less powerful than Tsunade's!"

He had barely finished speaking when Tsunade glared at him, then pursed her lips and said, "His healing abilities are comparable to his grandfather's."

Tobirama Senju was shocked, then solemnly said, "The Yin-Yang Release technique requires the combination of Yin and Yang Release powers. It is said to be a technique created by the Sage of Six Paths to establish the ninja world."

"However, most of them are legends, and very little of them have been passed down in historical records."

"Neither my brother nor I have been able to master or develop such a technique. It is said that mastering Yin-Yang Release can neutralize any other ninjutsu."

Both Jingyin and Huixiang exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this.

Tsunade pondered, "Based on Genma's analysis last time, this possibility does exist."

"Yin and Yang are the foundation of everything. The changes in nature such as wind, fire, water, earth, and thunder all originate from Yin and Yang."

Tobirama Senju said, "Actually, the development of the Shadow Clone Technique was inspired by the Yin-Yang Release Technique."

"And Xuanma, your ultimate goal in developing illusion techniques also requires combining Yang Escape, and ultimately leads to the Yin-Yang Escape technique."
