Chapter 170 Mental Energy Signals

"I'm so thirsty!"

Xiao Yezi picked up a glass of juice from the ink-wash table, took a few sips, glanced back at Fan Marenza's bloodshot eyes, and said to Li Yao with a smile, "I just want to be honest with him so he can see the expression on his face when he's watching me while he's being whipped and tortured. That would be quite a sight!"

Finished!

This little leaf is weird!

"That's a great idea!" Li Yao's eyes lit up.

Fanmarenza's longing for Xiaoyezi was no less than that.

Let him watch Xiao Yezi stand honestly by and see how his sister and mother are being beaten; he will only suffer more.

Listening to the conversation between Li Yao and Xiao Yezi, two perverts, Fanmarenza's anger turned even more humiliated.

He swore!

As long as he lives, he will definitely kill those two perverts!

Unfortunately, everything is in vain.

Fanmarenza was in unbearable pain, truly experiencing what it meant to suffer indescribable agony.

Five hours later, Van Marenza was completely numb.

Even... a hint of disgust appeared deep in his eyes.

As expected of someone who cares most about themselves, they change really quickly.

"Uncle, should we kill him?"

Xiao Yezi asked, she had vented her hatred for Fanmarenzha to the point that killing him was fine, but she didn't know if Li Yao still wanted to torture Fanmarenzha.

Li Yao tidied himself up and said while putting on his clothes, "No rush, I still have a ninjutsu experiment that requires their cooperation."

"What kind of ninjutsu?" Little Leaf asked curiously.

"You'll know once it's finished," Li Yao said with a smile.

Half an hour later, under Li Yao's illusionary control, he gave Fanmarenzha's sister and mother a bath, and then the two of them set off again with the family.

Along the way, Li Yao sensed the effect of the illusion chakra on the brain of Fanma Renzha's mother.

The essence of illusion is to influence another person's brain with chakra, causing them to hallucinate and fall into a dreamlike state.

It mainly affects, rather than directly implanting illusions into a person's brain.

This kind of "influence" illusion is easy to identify.

Ordinary people are fine, but ninjas with slightly more combat experience will know they have been caught in a genjutsu as soon as they enter the illusion.

Once they realize they've been under an illusion, they'll naturally try to break free.

Some people can use powerful illusions that others cannot break.

However, this kind of head-on confrontation does not actually fit the positioning of illusion magic.

The best way to use illusions is to make the enemy fall into them without even realizing it.

So how do you make the enemy fall under an illusion without them even realizing it?

Li Yao's answer was a combination of illusion and reality, that is, a combination of illusion and perception deprivation techniques.

If the Sensation Deprivation Technique can deprive a person of their senses, then could it be possible to create false sensory signals for the enemy's brain, causing the enemy to experience real senses, just like Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu, which completely dominates the five senses of others?

If one can control the five senses, and with the influence of genjutsu chakra on the brain, one can develop a powerful genjutsu that makes it difficult for people to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Currently, Li Yao is still focused on developing the control of the five senses.

It is easy to deprive people of their senses, but difficult to manipulate them by creating false signals.

But it's okay, we can take it slow. Li Yao already has an idea.

soon.

Night falls.

Li Yao and Xiao Yezi arrived at a valley, intending to live in seclusion there for a while.

After finishing their meal, Li Yao led Fan Marenzha's mother to the side, where they conjured up a traditional Chinese ink painting-style reclining chair and lay down.

While controlling the sexy and voluptuous young woman, Li Yao used illusion magic on her.

Li Yao used illusion chakra to influence the young woman's mind, making her believe he was her son, Fanmarenza.

"Ah...you are...my son?"

"Son... what are you doing here?"

The illusion took effect; in the eyes of the sexy young woman, Li Yao transformed into her own son.

During this time, Li Yao focused his mind on his chakra perception ability, trying to sense the signals emitted by the sexy young woman when she saw the image of her son in her brain.

What is a hallucination? It is the brain's imagination.

When the brain imagines a person, it generates specific information signals about that person.

Such information signals may not be detectable on Earth.

But in the ninja world, the brain's imagination is a tangible form of spiritual energy, a kind of information signal that can be captured.

Li Yao's idea was simple: simulate this mental energy signal, then use the perception deprivation technique to deprive the enemy of their real sensory signals, and put this simulated mental energy signal into the enemy's brain, thereby giving him the ability to control the enemy's senses.

Once the mastery of the five senses is successful, it will mean that Li Yao will be able to simulate the mental energy of others.

The essence of spiritual energy is the soul.

Once you can simulate spiritual energy, you can create an exact replica of a soul.

In this way, the perfect transformation can be considered a success.

Once you transform into someone else, the body is the same, the soul is the same, and the chakra is naturally exactly the same as well.

Soul perception cannot distinguish between truth and falsehood, nor can chakra perception.

However... there's still a long way to go!

His soul perception is not strong enough and needs to be strengthened.

In the days that followed, Li Yao enjoyed himself while strengthening his spiritual chakra.

Just like training in Wood Release chakra, increasing the nature strength of spiritual chakra naturally increases spiritual chakra, thereby enhancing his soul perception.

At the same time, Li Yao was also thinking about how to simulate spiritual energy.

He could have absolute control over his own spiritual energy, but he had no idea how to make his spiritual energy the same as that of others.

The main problem is that he can't perceive any difference between other people's spiritual energy and his own; they all seem to be the same.

But Li Yao knew that everyone's spiritual energy was definitely different, otherwise everyone's chakra characteristics wouldn't be different.

So ultimately it comes down to his spiritual chakra not being strong enough.

In short, it will take time.

……

The central and western plains of the Land of Lightning.

While Li Yao was happily training, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, was leading the Iwagakure Explosives Unit in a frustrated retreat from the Kumogakure's pursuit.

"What exactly happened?"

Onoki looked distressed and puzzled.

He had originally thought that since the Hidden Cloud Village had devoted most of its combat power to the Land of Earth and the Ushikata Peninsula, this was the time when the Hidden Cloud Village's air surveillance was at its weakest. He took the opportunity to lead his demolition squad to launch an aerial attack on the Daruma family's Eagle Lightning Canyon, completely destroying the Hidden Cloud Village's air power.

Without air support, the Cloud Village's forces in the Land of Earth will not last long and will have to retreat to the Ushi-Hakaki Peninsula.

As soon as he stepped into the Land of Lightning from the west coast, the Cloud Village's defenses and surveillance suddenly increased several times over, especially its aerial surveillance methods, which were extremely difficult to defend against.

Onoki and his group were discovered by Kumogakure before they even got close to the central region.

Not only was he discovered, but these Cloud Village ninjas treated him as if he had already attacked and destroyed the Daruma family's Eagle Lightning Canyon, attacking him relentlessly without any regard for the consequences.

This left Onoki completely bewildered. To avoid being surrounded by the Cloud Village ninjas at the front lines, he had no choice but to lead the demolition team in a desperate breakout.

at the same time.

In a certain place in the Land of Rain, Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan encountered the Three Legendary Sannin. After a conversation, Jiraiya decided to temporarily withdraw from the war, raise the three children, and give them the strength to survive in this cruel world.

From that moment on, the gears of fate began to turn.

Inside the cave chamber, White Zetsu told Madara that Jiraiya was planning to maintain a long-term relationship with Nagato.

"Lord Madara, should we call Li Yao back?" White Zetsu asked, while Black Zetsu, hidden within White Zetsu, was getting anxious.

Others may not know the legend of the Rinnegan, but Jiraiya, a contracted ninja of Mount Myōboku, certainly does.
