As soon as he finished speaking, Hinata Kumokawa's voice reached his ears, but it didn't come from in front of him; it came from a higher place.

"Do you think the seal in your head can stop me?"

Kohinata Mukai's pupils contracted, and following the sound, he suddenly looked up at the tree high above.

His astonished eyes met a pair of calm, pure white eyes.

He didn't know when, but "Hyuga Kumokawa" in front of him disappeared. Hyuga Kumokawa was standing on the tree above his head, the same tree where Hyuga Kumokawa had been watching the battle.

It was as if Hinata Kumokawa hadn't moved an inch from the moment he and Shisui began their battle until now.

"Kohinata Mukai, my ability is the manipulation of the five senses. Why don't you guess what it is?"

Hinata Kumokawa smiled faintly and said, "After you left here, several years later, in an ordinary battle, you plunged your blade into the heart of your enemy."

"Will you kill an enemy or a family member?"

Upon hearing this, Kohinata Mukai opened his mouth in a daze, only to feel a chilling cold surge from his heart.

Thinking of the possibility Yun Chuan mentioned, a chill crept up his spine and onto his cheeks, finally causing him to shiver violently.

"you……"

Fear tightened like vines, and Kohinata Mukai's breathing became rapid, his throat bobbing as he swallowed.

Looking into those calm, indifferent eyes, and then at the Uchiha duo standing stiffly beside him, their eyes vacant, he even felt as if the world was unreal.

Is what he sees, hears, thinks, and feels now an illusion or reality?

"Who said you were gentle... You're clearly a monster!"

Finally, Kohinata Mukai lowered his head in despair and let out a resigned sigh: "I promise you, please dispel the illusion as soon as possible."

"It has been lifted."

The voice came from in front of him again. Wujie subconsciously looked up and saw Hinata Yunchuan reappear in front of him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

That's actually more terrifying.

They had no idea whether the illusion had been broken.

"I have one last question."

He resigned himself to his fate, picked up a cigarette, lit it, and then looked up at Yun Chuan, asking, "Why him, and not you?"

Hinata Kumokawa knew what Mukai wanted to ask.

He clearly possessed such terrifying strength and was obviously dissatisfied with Konoha and the Hyuga clan, so why wasn't it him who defected, but another brat from the Hyuga branch family?

When faced with the question about Hinata Mukai, Hinata Kumokawa showed a gentle smile.

"Why would I defect?" he said softly. "I am a 'hero' in the eyes of everyone in Konoha, and the successor of the Will of Fire in the eyes of the Third Hokage."

Upon hearing this, Kohinata Mukai was completely stunned. He held a cigarette in his mouth and let it burn quietly, staring blankly at the gentle-smiling Hinata Kumokawa.

"...Haha! Hahaha!"

Finally, as if he had heard the most absurd joke in the world, he burst into a hysterical laugh, his laughter filled with endless mockery.

"Hahaha, Hyuga Kumokawa, the hero of Konoha! The ninja who inherited the Will of Fire! Hahahaha, I see! I see!"

He laughed until tears streamed down his face, accidentally aggravating his wound. He gasped for breath and chuckled, "Cough cough, I thought I had hidden it well enough."

"But compared to you, I am in no way as good as you!"

"Everyone misjudged you. You deceived everyone. They elevated you to a pedestal, but they didn't know that you, like me, are traitors with ulterior motives!"

"No, no, you're a monster, a devil!"

"Irony! Utter irony!"

After saying that, Kohinata Mukai shook his head and grinned, "I'm convinced. I'm really convinced this time. Now I'm actually looking forward to seeing how far you can go."

Does he harbor hatred and resentment towards the Hyuga clan and Konoha?

Naturally there is.

Otherwise, as a Konoha Jonin, who is neither short of money nor power, why would he choose to become a spy?

The specific reason for his resentment was undoubtedly related to the other party's wife and children, but Hinata Kumokawa neither asked nor cared.

He only received the mission from the third generation, and after thinking for a moment, he made a casual move. Anyway, it would definitely come in handy in the future, and there was no need to worry about being betrayed.

Moreover, with Kohinata Mukai's development and innovation in the Byakugan, he is more than qualified to become Hyuga Neji's teacher in the future.

"So, deal's done."

Hinata Kumokawa nodded slightly, took out a scroll from his robes and placed it on the ground. As a puff of white smoke rose, a corpse similar in size to Mukai appeared.

There was even a box, but we didn't know what was inside.

Even though he had already witnessed Hinata Kumokawa's methods, Wujie still couldn't help but give him a deep look when he saw this scene.

Did this guy already make all the preparations when he received this mission?

What a deep and calculating fellow.

But this terrifying guy was actually hailed as a hero by the people of Konoha...

"You can leave now."

Hinata Kumokawa tossed the box to him, then, while dealing with the corpse, said, "It contains explosive tags and a face-erasing technique. Don't let anyone discover your identity."

"Don't worry." Kohinata Mukai took the box and smiled. "Then I'll trouble you to take care of my wife and children."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot, and Hinata Kumokawa also stood up.

chapped.

Looking at the corpse covered in explosive tags, Hinata Kumokawa lit a lighter and threw it over.

At the same time, the eye on the 'Greed' sword at his waist slowly closed, and Uchiha Itachi and Shisui, who were trapped in the illusion, woke up almost simultaneously.

Itachi Uchiha's memory ends with Hyuga Mukai igniting the explosive tags in an attempt to take everyone down with him, while Shisui Uchiha's memory ends with Hyuga Kumokawa gouging out his eyes and throwing a lighter.

Before them, there was firelight.

boom! !

Chapter 151 Uchiha Itachi, doesn't he still have parents?

boom! !

The moment the body was engulfed by the explosion, the two tense bodies reacted instinctively, instantly moving away from the blast without hesitation.

Looking at the completely destroyed corpses in the distance, and then at Hyuga Kumokawa whose expression had changed slightly, Uchiha Shisui's heart began to pound.

"As expected, Hinata Kumokawa didn't realize I had broken his genjutsu, and he certainly didn't expect that I had witnessed the entire process of him gouging out his Byakugan and then destroying the evidence..."

"Pity."

As he pondered, he heard Itachi Uchiha's murmur beside him. Shisui subconsciously turned his head and saw Itachi's face filled with lingering fear and regret.

"What did Itachi see in the illusion?" Shisui wondered. "It must have been Mukai himself igniting the explosive tags, wanting to take everyone down with him."

At that moment, Hinata Kumokawa also turned around, a regretful expression on his face.

"It's a pity we couldn't find any bodies, otherwise we could have dug out more information." He sighed.

Watching his slightly exaggerated acting, Uchiha Shisui, who thought he had seen through him, couldn't help but twitch his eye, but still cooperated and said, "Everyone is fine, as long as the mission is completed."

Uchiha Itachi, standing to the side, looked at Hyuga Kumokawa, frowned as if he wanted to say something, but noticed Shisui's gaze and silently swallowed the words of dissatisfaction that were on the tip of his tongue.

He originally wanted to question Hinata Kumokawa about why he hadn't made a move.

"Well, that's the only way. Let's take the body back."

Hinata Kumokawa extinguished the flames, took out the charred corpse, put it into a scroll, and tossed it to Shisui, saying helplessly, "I wasn't of much help on this mission. I will report to the Third Hokage."

After saying that, his figure disappeared first, while Uchiha Shisui and Itachi exchanged a glance and silently followed.

By evening, the three of them had finally returned to Konoha. Hyuga Kumokawa exchanged a few simple pleasantries with Shisui and the other two before parting ways to go to the Hokage Building to give a report.

After he left, Shisui and the other person arrived at the Namaka River.

"Shisui, what happened?" Itachi Uchiha asked hurriedly.

"Don't rush." ​​Uchiha Shisui shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Tell me again the whole process of our battle with Kohinata Mukai."

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha, though puzzled, recounted everything he had experienced.

"Sure enough."

After listening to his account, Uchiha Shisui's eyes flickered as he scanned the deep darkness around him, as if to confirm whether some unseen threat had truly gone away.

"Hyuga Kumokawa has concealed his illusion abilities."

After confirming that no one was around, he said directly, "Everything you saw before was an illusion. The real few minutes were cleverly replaced. He actually gouged out Wujie's Byakugan."

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha was first stunned, then his pupils suddenly contracted, and a chill ran through his body like an electric current!

Everything he saw was an illusion?!

If it had been someone else who said this instead of Shisui, Itachi Uchiha would never have believed it so easily.

As a genius of the Uchiha clan, how could he be completely unaware that he had been subjected to genjutsu by the Hyuga clan? What kind of low-level joke is this?

But since these words came from Shisui, he had no choice but to believe them.

"What is Hyuga Kumokawa trying to do by hiding this ability?"

A sense of surprise and doubt welled up in Itachi Uchiha's heart. He took a deep breath, looked at Shisui with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice, "We must report this matter to the Third Hokage."

After saying that, he turned to leave, but Zhishui suddenly grabbed his arm.

"Wait a minute, Itachi."

"Shisui, we have to hurry, that guy..."

Uchiha Itachi was about to say something, but the moment he turned to look at Shisui, his expression suddenly changed, and his heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by a hand.

“You, your eyes…” he blurted out.

In Uchiha Shisui's crimson eyes, three tomoe rapidly spun, transformed, and merged, eventually coalescing into an unprecedented pattern that exuded a chilling aura.

A chill that originated from the depths of its blood instantly gripped Itachi!

"These eyes are called the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Shisui's tone was calm, but his eyes were unusually deep. He said softly, "Do you know why the Sharingan is called the 'eye that reflects the soul'?"

"Why, why?" Itachi's voice was hoarse and he asked absentmindedly.

"Because once a member of the Uchiha clan awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan, they will awaken a special eye technique based on their own desires."

Uchiha Shisui said in a deep voice, "After I opened these eyes, I mastered a dojutsu called 'Kotoamatsukami'."

"This eye technique allows me to directly invade the enemy's brain and permanently alter their will without them noticing."

Alteration of will?

These four words struck Itachi's heart like a heavy hammer, sending a chill down his spine.

Even the illusions that Hyuga Kumokawa cast on them only trapped them in a self-created illusion, but Shisui's eye technique could actually alter will?!

Doesn't this mean...

"impossible."

Seemingly seeing through his thoughts, Uchiha Shisui shook his head. "Once this technique is used, it takes a long time before it can be used again, so I haven't used it yet."

"However, this is the effect of the 'Kotoamatsukami' in the left eye; the 'Kotoamatsukami' in the right eye is continuous."

"Although it can't alter will like the left eye in one go, it can still subtly control will by interfering with chakra, and can be used multiple times in a short period of time."

As Shisui explained his own eye technique, Itachi Uchiha gradually calmed down.

Combining his previous experiences with Shisui's eye technique, Itachi suddenly had a bold guess.

He abruptly looked up at Zhishui, meeting those eerie eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Zhishui, do you mean to..."

“Yes, this was the inspiration I got from Hyuga Kumokawa.” Shisui nodded. “If Kotoamatsukami is used, even Lord Fugaku, who has the name of ‘Evil Eye,’ will not be able to resist it.”

"As long as the will to 'be loyal to the village and abandon the coup' is implanted, he will voluntarily stop the coup, and Lord Fugaku will genuinely believe that it was his own idea."

"This is the most perfect solution I could think of."
