章節 207: Chapter 207: Genjutsu
"Yeah! These guys are really tenacious!"
On a chaotic battlefield, Uchiha Yan and Asaka finally had a moment to rest and started chatting after relaxing their spirits.
From the ruined walls and fallen corpses in front of them, it was clear they had just endured a strenuous effort to break through the Iwa-nin's defenses. Although they won, it cost them quite a bit of stamina~
"Being able to complete this mission without significant casualties is already quite good! You two should stop complaining!"
"Let's check on the wounded first!"
"As for Tōshirō..."
Uchiha Tetsu interrupted their conversation and just looked at the state of his companions, a bit hesitant for a moment. He didn't know whether he should go and help or stay put and rest, to avoid being a burden.
Given their current state, they were essentially out of supplies, with barely any chakra left after breaking through the Iwa-nin's defense.
"I've already finished on my end!"
Just as Uchiha Tetsu was hesitating about whether to support Tōshirō, a figure walked out from the illusory realm, speaking calmly.
"Eh! Tōshirō has already solved the problem over there? You're really something! While maintaining such a large barrier, you can also sustain this large-scale genjutsu. And that's not all, you even dealt with the Iwa-nin who came to trouble you~"
Uchiha Yan responded, somewhat irritated. Back in the clan academy, she was the first to refine chakra, and the teachers praised her talent. She hadn't expected the gap between them to grow so large now; thinking about it made her feel unwilling.
"Thanks to this multi-layered genjutsu, I managed to deal with them!"
As he spoke, the entire base's illusion began to revert to its original state as Tōshirō deactivated the genjutsu.
"Tōshirō-senpai's genjutsu is amazing! I wish I could have that kind of power in the future!"
"That way, I could protect the village and my companions better!"
At this moment, the eight-year-old Uchiha Shisui looked at Tōshirō with admiration. Although he also had talent in genjutsu, there was still a gap in chakra compared to his senior. Even in the future, it might be hard to reach Tōshirō's level.
"You really know how to talk!"
"With your talent, Shisui, you'll reach my level sooner or later. What you need to do now is not think about that stuff and just eat well and grow up quickly!"
He hadn't expected to one day become an object of Shisui's admiration in the field of genjutsu, considering the latter was known as the strongest genjutsu user in the future. Thinking about it made him feel a bit proud!
The genjutsu he had just performed was essentially his magnum opus, the culmination of his years of research. He used his chakra to create a light source within a barrier and projected his prepared illusion inside it. The light source was not just a simple projection but also a medium for visual genjutsu, incorporating tactile genjutsu to mislead the enemies within the environment. By fusing his chakra, he made the illusion even more realistic.
To prevent the enemy from easily breaking his illusion once they found any flaws, he processed the glowing chakra source specially. It could also serve as a medium to project his 'pupil power' when needed. For instance, the Iwa-nin Jōnin who was constantly attacking that water mirror was controlled by his Sharingan genjutsu. Finally, under Tōshirō's control, he launched a sudden attack, killing the sensory ninja and entangling the hilltop Jōnin, laying the foundation for his victory!
"Alright, although things have settled down, it's not over yet!"
"Yan! Asaka! You two come with me to take care of the wounded. Tetsu and Ryūka, you clean up the battlefield and 'search' the entire base!"
They had spent a lot to attack this base, and if they couldn't recoup some of it, they would be at a huge loss! Just thinking about the explosive tags they used, each one was Tōshirō's hard work. They all went up in smoke during the initial surprise attack! How could Tōshirō not feel heartache!
[Damn those mission-assigning bastards!]
Tōshirō inwardly cursed as he began directing his teammates to get them busy again. Although their surprise attack was successful, eliminating most of the enemy forces in one go, some of their clan members inevitably got injured in the subsequent mop-up operations. Fortunately, with Yan and the others' care, there were no fatalities.
"You sure know how to boss people around~"
"Miss, stop being sarcastic! I suppose you don't want to stay in this hellhole any longer either!"
"Hmph…"
Although she complained verbally, Uchiha Yan moved swiftly. Tōshirō knew she was just venting. This was her way of easing her nerves.
After such a big battle, no one could keep a calm heart. Even without physical injuries, the mental stress was omnipresent.
Yes, not just Uchiha Yan but even Shisui and other fellow clan members who had activated their Sharingan avoided serious injuries. Uchiha with the Sharingan were formidable, especially in dodging attacks. Any injuries mostly came from trying to protect fellow clan members who hadn't awakened their Sharingan.
It was only natural that Uchiha Shisui had awakened his eyes! When he joined Tōshirō's team, he already had the double-tomoe Sharingan!
"Senpai! What should we do with these people?"
As Tōshirō was dressing wounds for his comrades, Uchiha Shisui approached with a troubled expression, pointing towards a distance!
The 'these people' he referred to were the injured Iwa-nin left behind. Although the Iwa-nin were defeated, a portion of the wounded remained. Most were survivors of the initial explosive tag assault, either losing their mobility through severed limbs or falling into a coma, utterly defenseless, numbering around ten or so.
