Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 203 Mirage

the other side.

The sensory ninja named Yoshio was squatting on the ground, sweating profusely, his hands forming hand seals as he carefully sensed the enemies within the stronghold.

His sensory ninjutsu involves spreading his chakra into the ground beneath his feet, using the earth's feedback to sense the enemy's every move.

At this moment, in order to find the hidden illusionist ninja, he had to concentrate all his mental energy and spread his senses.

However, this made the illusions cast by the other party have an even greater impact on him.

Even with the help of his companions, he would still occasionally fall into their illusions. If his companions hadn't been constantly monitoring his condition and helping him break free from the illusions, he probably wouldn't have been able to move normally by now.

Not only him, but also the Jonin Tsuchigumo who was with him and his assistant were looking solemn and extremely cautious at this moment.

The opponent's illusion skills were simply too terrifying, almost omnipresent. It was fine for a short time, but the longer one stayed in the opponent's flute music, the easier it was to fall into their illusion.

"Found it!"

After a long period of effort, Liangxiong finally sensed something and pointed in one direction of the stronghold with a face full of certainty.

"The source of sound vibration is in that direction, there's no mistake!"

As if afraid his companions wouldn't believe him, he added a sentence.

"Everyone, keep a close eye on your companion's condition and be ready to break the illusion!"

While giving instructions, the hilltop ninja, along with his two companions, headed towards the direction Yoshio had indicated.

The situation was urgent; the enemy's genjutsu ninja's strength was far beyond his expectations. If he didn't quickly interrupt the enemy's genjutsu, his other comrades' attacks wouldn't go smoothly either.

"Oh! Did you find me?"

Looking at the three Iwa ninja opposite him, Toshiro wasn't too surprised that they had found his location.

The casting of sound illusions always requires a sound source. Since the opponents are in groups, they can look out for each other, and finding their location is only a matter of time.

But he wouldn't just sit idly by and wait to die!

At this time, although he was unable to launch a major attack due to maintaining the barrier, dealing with these few enemies was not a big problem.

The Uchiha barrier he cast, unlike the "Four Purple Flame Formation" or the "Four Crimson Sun Formation," did not render the caster immobile.

However, maintaining the barrier by continuously outputting chakra is still necessary. This also means that he cannot fully unleash his full potential.

Even so, he was not completely out of fighting strength.

"Magic Mirage"

Putting away his emerald flute, Toshiro formed hand seals and cast the illusion he had been preparing for a long time.

As soon as he finished casting his spell, the entire stronghold underwent a dramatic transformation.

"..."

Looking up and glancing left and right at the surrounding illusion, the Jonin's expression turned extremely ugly.

My gaze swept over the three enormous rock statues in the distance, then I looked around at the bustling crowds and the lively shops nearby.

It's Konoha's night market!

"Hey! Let's play hide-and-seek together!"

As he spoke, Toshiro's figure disappeared into the bustling crowd, like ripples on water, vanishing without a trace.

"untie!"

As their chakra was disrupted, it returned to normal. The surrounding scenery remained unchanged, and the three elite Iwa ninja's faces were so cold they were almost frozen.

"It should be a mirage-like illusion, with everything around it supposed to be fake, but..."

Having roughly determined that he was not under the influence of genjutsu, Jonin Tsuchigumo had already basically determined the type of genjutsu used by his opponent.

The surrounding scenery must all be illusions; it's just that these people couldn't see through the illusions the other party was using for the time being!

"Yoshio...did you find anything?"

Gently touching the surrounding buildings and feeling the tangible texture in his hands, the Jonin asked the sensory ninja for his opinion.

His training in resisting genjutsu was specifically designed to counter genjutsu that manipulates one's own chakra. There's not much that can be done against this type of illusionary genjutsu.

"Sorry! All I can sense is that the other person's chakra fills the surroundings, that's all..."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, his meaning was self-evident.

"We can't stay here, otherwise... their illusion... can't just be a simple illusion without any harm!"

"Ryoko! Be on high alert from now on, and watch out for anything that approaches us!"

"Keep an eye on their location!"

"yes…"

At this moment, although the other party stopped the sound illusion, the large-scale illusion still forced them to deal with it with caution.

Otherwise, they would all die!

"Be careful!"

The ninja had barely taken a step when he noticed something. Pointing to the empty space ahead, he roared loudly.

In his perception, this location seemed to contain some kind of danger, causing his senses to frantically send alarms at him.

And this feeling of danger seems like it was only recently experienced...

"It's an explosive tag!"

In just a moment, Liang Xiong had already identified the source of the danger, which made his face turn pale.

On one hand, he couldn't forget the attack just now, the barrage of explosive tags. On the other hand, the opponent's methods were truly insidious.

In such an illusion, if an explosive tag is used to set a trap, every blade of grass and every tree around could become a trap for the enemy.

This will make things very difficult for them!

boom!!

No sooner had he finished speaking than his companions had just moved aside a short distance when a familiar explosion rang out.

What followed was a fleeting flash of light and thick smoke!

This reminded Jonin Yoshio of his recent encounter.

"Hmph~"

Looking back, he saw another companion who, while dodging the explosive tag, seemed to have bumped into something and was now rubbing his back with a pained expression.

"We should still be where we were, but we've been concealed by the enemy's illusion. Everyone, watch your step!"

As the team leader, Jonin Tsuchiguchi reminded his teammates and looked towards the spot where the explosive tag had just detonated.

"This is……"

With just a glance, the Jonin Tsuchimaki seemed to have discovered something, staring with surprise at the spot where the explosive tag had just detonated.

His face was full of surprise!
