To be frank, Jinbing's submission at this moment is certainly not the sincere submission one would offer under the influence of magic tricks. It's more like the submission of a weaker individual to a stronger one. It should be said that the kind of complete submission that comes from being manipulated by illusions is hardly achievable by anyone other than trained loyalists since childhood. So, Wu Chen has kept a cautious eye.
He looked at Jinbing, who was bowing before him, and calmly said, "Raise your head, don't resist."
As soon as Jinbing lifted his head, he saw the masked figure in front of him forming strange hand seals.
Snap!
Wu Chen's palm landed on Jinbing's head, chakra erupted, and black runes appeared, enveloping Jinbing entirely! The runes were intricate and unrecognizable, despite Jinbing exhausting all his knowledge trying to identify them.
Wu Chen paid no attention to Jinbing's movements, continuing to focus on casting the spell. Eventually, all the runes converged to his forehead, forming a peculiar pattern.
"This jutsu is called 'Caged Bird.' Normally, it poses no problem; it can even help enhance your chakra control during your training. But once triggered, it will make your life worse than death."
"This is a safety measure, also the mark I bestow upon you. So, Jinbing, do you understand what you should do from now on?"
After being revived by the elderly Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Obito learned a lot, including sealing techniques. Otherwise, without such knowledge, he wouldn't have been able to use techniques like the Seal of Nine Dragons. Among the sealing techniques handed down by Uchiha Madara to Obito, there was a record of the Caged Bird.
The Caged Bird was a method used by the main branch of the Hyuga clan to control the branch families, extremely powerful and domineering. Obito had briefly studied it back then, but he never had the opportunity to use it until now.
Now, Wu Chen was using it precisely. However, the version he used was different from the original. The original Caged Bird was aimed at the eyes, protecting the Byakugan from being stolen by outsiders. The Caged Bird Wu Chen used was his own improvement, targeting the brain.
Using Jinbing as a test subject, he unexpectedly succeeded. If anyone attempted anything on Jinbing's brain, it would automatically burn out. Or Wu Chen could activate the Caged Bird to inflict pain or destroy Jinbing's brain, which was another application.
The reason for this elaborate method instead of continuing to control Jinbing with illusions was because Wu Chen was concerned about the limit on the number of people he could control simultaneously. So, if he had to use illusions, he would use them on the edge, on those who would never submit. For those like Jinbing who might submit, he would use the Caged Bird for control.
Sure enough, after listening to Wu Chen's explanation, Jinbing's submission deepened slightly. "Master, your will is my will, and I will fight for you with all my might!"
Feeling the effect of the mark on his forehead, Jinbing naturally dared not have any other thoughts. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. In the end, he was still submitting to the person in front of him. However, this masked man was strong enough, so it wasn't entirely unacceptable.
"Very well!" Wu Chen nodded with a smile. "You don't need to call me master; just call me sir."
"From today onwards, you are an auxiliary member of the Akatsuki!"
"Akatsuki?" Jinbing was puzzled.
"Before dawn is darkness, and the moment when darkness is most intense is dawn. We, the Akatsuki, are willing to be the dawn of the world, bringing peace and light to this world!"
Wu Chen explained the ideology of the Akatsuki earnestly, a philosophy he actually agreed with. It's just that later, after Yahiko's death and Nagato's manipulation by Obito, the Akatsuki changed its nature and became a major antagonist organization in the Naruto world.
Now, with the Akatsuki newly established in this world, Wu Chen decided to use this ideology. When Jinbing heard this ideology, his eyes flickered. Hadn't he once had similar ideals? It's just that he was oppressed by life later on, leading him to join the underworld to survive.
Now it seemed that the organization he pledged allegiance to wasn't particularly evil, after all?
No, judging by the style and methods of the sir alone, the Akatsuki was not a legitimate organization. Who would directly control people without a word?
Later, Wu Chen's actions confirmed this point. He instructed Jinbing to bring out cash from the safe, and although Jinbing grumbled inwardly, he complied. Instantly, there were stacks of dollars on the office desk, at least five or six million.
"This money is mine now," Wu Chen glanced at Jinbing, who immediately nodded.
Then, Wu Chen's consciousness sank into the system space and saw Uchiha Obito's progress in role-playing [12%]. It increased by two percent, though it was a bit less, it indicated that Wu Chen's idea was not wrong. Role-playing as a ninja wasn't just about accepting and completing missions; achieving the goals of the role was also a feasible method.
Satisfied, Wu Chen opened the system store and looked at the number in the lower right corner: [6.15 million yuan].
