Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 106 Black Lightning Illusion Defense

"Grass……"

Sensing that the summoned beast bird behind him flew towards him without hesitation, Li Yao cursed inwardly again.

Bang!

Reclaiming the chakra from the shadow clone in the other direction, Li Yao created another shadow clone that condensed into a giant black iron eagle, and then split his forces into two groups again.

Having lost nearly a quarter of his chakra, Li Yao is now unable to create another shadow clone.

Otherwise, the amount of chakra would be insufficient, and once attacked by the Third Raikage's black lightning, even the Adamantine Sealing Barrier would be unusable.

Both the Black Iron Chains and the Vajra Sealing Technique require a large amount of chakra to seal.

If Li Yao hadn't possessed absolute control over chakra due to the integration of his consciousness into it, which made the chakra consumption when using the Diamond Sealing Chains and Black Iron Chains negligible, he would have been completely drained of chakra by now.

Losing a quarter of his chakra now has a huge impact on Li Yao.

This forces him to now only be able to create two shadow clones at most in order to ensure that while condensing the Black Iron Giant Eagle, he also has a certain amount of chakra to condense the Diamond Sealing Barrier and the Black Iron Feather Robe.

Which side?

Li Yao's second split left Damocles in a dilemma once again, with both directions offering a 50/50 chance.

"right."

The Third Raikage casually said that he couldn't tell which side of Li Yao was the real body, but it didn't matter. The distance was close enough that if he destroyed the other side of Li Yao, the one left would naturally be the real Li Yao, and Li Yao wouldn't be able to escape.

If we're lucky enough to catch up with Li Yao in his true form, that would be even better.

Li Yao can only fly in two directions now, which means that his chakra reserves are no longer sufficient to support creating more shadow clones.

In this way, as long as his chakra is consumed a few more times, Li Yao will no longer be able to create shadow clones to disrupt the pursuit.

On the other hand, Li Yao was also prepared to deal with the situation.

"Now we'll see if the perception deprivation technique works."

This time, Li Yao flew to the left, and the Third Raikage followed the wrong direction, but the crisis was not over.

At the speed of that summoning beast eagle, it will soon catch up with the shadow clone. At that time, the Third Raikage will instantly cross 500 meters and attack, just like before. The shadow clone will not be able to stop it, and Li Yao's main body will be exposed.

Then they'll be caught up by that fast-moving summoned beast, the eagle.

At that time, he would have to continue creating shadow clones to confuse the Third Raikage in order to make up for the speed difference and widen the distance between himself and the summoning beast eagle.

But there is a risk involved.

If the Black Iron Giant Eagle is directly destroyed by the Third Raikage, Li Yao will lose that portion of his chakra, causing his chakra reserves to decrease rapidly.

When Li Yao's chakra level drops to a certain point, he will truly be unable to escape.

Therefore, the best solution is to eliminate the Third Raikage.

If they can eliminate the Third Raikage and put him in a vegetative state, the other four Cloud Village ninjas who are worried about his safety will surely stop risking pursuing him.

Li Yao could even kill the Third Raikage and his group directly.

However, all of this depends on the Sensation Deprivation Technique working on the Third Raikage.

Nine hundred meters.

800 meters.

700 meters.

Chasing after the Third Raikage and his group flying to the right, the Third Raikage got closer and closer to Li Yaoying's clone. Soon, when the distance was once again 500 meters, the Third Raikage made a move.

call out!

Like a flash of lightning, the Third Raikage was still incredibly fast, arriving in front of Li Yao in mid-air in an instant.

This time, however, Li Yao was prepared and had already recalled the Black Iron Giant Eagle. He was completely wrapped up in black iron chains, like a rice dumpling.

at the same time.

The genjutsu chakra for the Sensory Deprivation Technique was also prepared long ago.

"Snap!"

Unsurprisingly, the black iron chains couldn't stop the Third Raikage's two-handed thrust in Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and were instantly shattered.

But... snap!

The Third Raikage's two-handed technique was once again blocked by a black iron chain.

This time, Li Yao learned from his previous mistakes, and each black iron chain wrapped around his body was independent.

The Third Raikage shattering one of them does not cause the other to collapse.

Although it still couldn't stop the Third Raikage's two-handed strike.

But this bought Li Yao a moment of time.

In that instant, Li Yao had enough time to manipulate the Sensation Deprivation Technique's chakra into the Third Raikage's head, severing all his physical senses and locking his consciousness in a dark room.

Of course, this is on the premise that Li Yao's genjutsu chakra can invade the Third Raikage's brain.

"Chira..."

Before Li Yao's genjutsu chakra could enter the Third Raikage's body, the Third Raikage, who was in Lightning Release chakra mode, suddenly had a burst of black lightning flash from his body.

Then... Li Yao's genjutsu chakra was instantly extinguished like cotton meeting an open flame, without causing the slightest commotion.

"this……"

"Boom!"

Li Yaoying's clone was still in shock from the direct annihilation of the genjutsu chakra when it was destroyed.

Li Yao himself was utterly shocked.

He considered all the possibilities of the Third Raikage blocking the Sensory Deprivation Jutsu.

Some break through the neural blockade of genjutsu chakra by bursting forth with subtle chakra control, while others rely on their tenacious spirit to endure it.

Regardless of the method, Li Yao didn't expect his genjutsu chakra to be annihilated so easily.

You should know that it's Dark Chakra, a genjutsu specifically created to counter the Sharingan.

Now, it couldn't even integrate the chakra of the Third Raikage before being annihilated.

"Bang!"

Without hesitation, Li Yao created another shadow clone.

At this moment, he glanced at the lying gray beauty, his eyes flashed slightly, and then with a thought, a Vajra Seal shot into the beauty's body, draining all the chakra in her body in less than a second.

I hope you bring me good luck!

Li Yao patted the woman's heavy conscience, then tossed her to his shadow clone, hoping the woman could confuse the Third Raikage's judgment.

With a whoosh, the black iron giant eagle spread its wings and soared into the sky, and Li Yao and his shadow clone once again split into two groups.

"Left."

The Third Raikage stood on the back of the giant eagle that had come to receive him and spoke.

The left side is closest to them, so they should go to the left first to confirm if Li Yao is the real body, and then chase after Li Yao on the right.

Boom boom... The wind sounded like drums as the spirit beast giant eagle flew very fast, quickly approaching Li Yaozhong who was flying on the left.

The Third Raikage suddenly turned to Damocles and the others and solemnly warned, "Be careful of Li Yao's genjutsu; his genjutsu is very strong."

Despite how easily he annihilated Li Yao's genjutsu chakra invasion, there has never been a single genjutsu chakra that could make his black lightning automatically trigger a defensive proc.

Li Yao's illusion was the first illusion to trigger his Black Lightning Defense.

Therefore, the Third Raikage was well aware that Li Yao's genjutsu was very strong.

"Yes, boss, we'll be careful."

Damocles and the others nodded emphatically, indicating that they would take Li Yao's illusions seriously.

The Third Raikage looked at Li Yao, who was rapidly approaching from the front, with increasing apprehension and growing curiosity about where Li Yao had learned these ninjutsu and genjutsu.

A powerful sealing technique.

Powerful ninjutsu.

Even illusions are this terrifying now!

Isn't this guy's talent a bit too strong for the average person?

Especially illusions!

The Third Raikage knew very well how terrifying powerful genjutsu was, and he had personally experienced the despair of facing powerful genjutsu.

The Third Raikage is 58 years old this year, which is more than ten years older than the Third Hokage.

In the early days of Konoha's founding, he was already a powerful Jonin from Kumogakure, and he had also successfully mastered the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Back when he accompanied the First Raikage to Konoha to discuss an alliance, he confidently challenged Madara Uchiha.

However, he was instantly trapped in a genjutsu by Madara Uchiha's single glance, which was as indifferent as looking at an ant. All his strength was useless, and he was powerless to resist.

From that time on, the Third Raikage began researching how to improve his resistance to genjutsu.

He understood that without the power of powerful illusions, no amount of mastery of taijutsu or ninjutsu would be of any use.

Having understood the principles of illusion, he started with the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

By strengthening and activating the physical body with Lightning Release chakra, one can completely integrate their physical body with Lightning Release chakra, improve nerve reflexes, and increase the sensitivity of the body's chakra to genjutsu chakra.

Ultimately, after ten years of research and development, he succeeded. He developed the Lightning Release Chakra Mode to its extreme, strengthened his body to the point where he could fight against tailed beasts, and increased the sensitivity of his chakra to genjutsu chakra to a new level.

From that time on, ordinary illusions could not penetrate his body at all.

However, the Third Raikage was still wary of Madara Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan genjutsu, feeling that even a fully developed Lightning Release chakra mode might not be able to withstand Madara Uchiha's genjutsu.

Thus, the Third Raikage, who already possessed the strongest spear attack, chose to continue refining the nature of Lightning Release chakra and enhance its sensitivity to genjutsu chakra. Ultimately, he spent another ten years on this.

They finally developed Lightning Release: Black Lightning, whose attack power is comparable to the fusion of two chakra nature transformations.

Others only know that Black Lightning possesses powerful attack capabilities, capable of inflicting unbearable pain on enemies and paralyzing their nerves, rendering them unable to move.

Little did they know that Black Lightning's greatest ability was the perception and resistance to genjutsu chakra.

Unfortunately, after the Black Lightning was created, Madara Uchiha had already died at the hands of the First Hokage. This disappointed the Third Raikage, who had heard the news, for a long time. He even wanted to test whether his Black Lightning could withstand the genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan against Madara Uchiha.

Without Madara Uchiha, no one else's genjutsu was strong enough to trigger Black Lightning's genjutsu defense, which is why the world never realized that Black Lightning could counter genjutsu.

The Third Raikage never said anything, but he believed that apart from Madara Uchiha, no one else in the world could trigger the black lightning's genjutsu defense.

Unexpectedly, Li Yao's illusion technique could trigger Black Lightning's automatic defense.

To be honest, the Third Raikage was also quite surprised at that moment.

That's why he warned his subordinates to be careful of Li Yao's illusions.
