Chapter 87: Kurenai Yuhi's terror at the use of the 72 Earthly Fiend Techniques – is this truly
Chapter 87: The Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Techniques are used, and Kurenai Yuhi is terrified. Is this really an illusion?
With that thought in mind, Lin Mo made a mental movement.
The contents of the jars that Hinata and the others had just opened immediately came to light.
"The chakra of a senior Chunin, the chakra of an ordinary Chunin, and the chakra of a senior Genin."
Lin Mo first looked at the three blue chakra orbs, and without hesitation, decisively reached out and touched them.
As the three chakra orbs merged into his body, Lin Mo immediately felt the amount of chakra within him begin to increase.
Lin Mo, having finished fusing the chakra orb, showed no sign of stopping.
Instead, he reached out and touched the [Instant Shadow Killing Array].
In an instant, Lin Mo gained access to the Shadow Assassin's abilities, giving him a means of assassination to rely on.
"That feels so good."
Having gained another means of attack made Lin Mo secretly delighted.
Then, Lin Mo turned his attention to the light of calligraphy experience, the running experience of a parkour athlete, and the experience of throwing a shuriken.
Three clusters of experience light surged into Lin Mo's mind one after another, and Lin Mo quickly digested and absorbed them, making him feel refreshed and invigorated.
"Then, next up is this technique."
The next second, Lin Mo looked at the Northern Darkness Divine Art and narrowed his eyes.
This technique is a real gem.
As Lin Mo flipped through the pages, he immediately saw densely packed text, along with detailed annotations of human meridians.
It's safe to say that anyone who gets their hands on this technique can cultivate it.
As for success, that will take time.
"I'll take the crash course."
Lin Mo casually picked up the memory bread and pasted it onto the contents recorded on the Northern Darkness Divine Art.
After pasting it all up, I turned to the next page and continued pasting it up using the other side of the memory bread.
After doing all this, Lin Mo swallowed the bread whole.
Suddenly, a surge of knowledge flooded his mind, causing Lin Mo to squint his eyes.
Is this what it feels like to have knowledge processed by the brain?
This feels so good.
While Lin Mo was digesting what Hyuga Hiashi and the others had just revealed.
Outside the jar shop.
Kurenai Yuhi, who had been observing all along, had also witnessed Hiashi Hyuga's departure.
However, when Hiashi Hyuga left, her face was beaming with joy, which she could not hide even if she tried to conceal it.
She was very curious to know how Hiashi Hyuga, the dignified head of the Hyuga clan, who was always so serious, could have such a smile.
This completely shattered his impression and perception of Hiashi Hyuga.
It's worth noting that Hiashi Hyuga was always known for his stern and expressionless demeanor among the upper echelons of Konoha.
Why are you so happy this time?
It was as if they had obtained some kind of treasure.
Moreover, it wasn't just Hiashi Hyuga, but also Hinata Hyuga and Hanabi Hyuga, which made Kurenai Yuhi very concerned.
What exactly happened to these three people at that shop?
Why am I so happy?
If people knew that Hiashi Hyuga had such a happy expression on his face, they would probably be shocked.
"Perhaps I should go and make contact with them."
The evening sun murmured softly.
She was very curious as to why Hinata would sneak here, especially with Hiashi Hyuga's tacit approval.
Hiashi Hyuga even covered for Hinata, saying he would give her special training as a member of the Hyuga clan.
As a result, over these three days, there was no special training at all. I trained on my own here, or trained with Tiantian, and became very familiar with a young man.
She had already stopped caring.
Today, she was surprised to see Hiashi Hyuga personally bringing his daughter over.
The second young lady of the main family of the Hiyuki clan excitedly rushed into Lin Mo's arms, and her intimate behavior shocked Yuhi Kurenai.
Who exactly is that young man?
The more she thought about it, the more impatient she became, and she immediately decided to go and meet with that person to have a chat.
While we're at it, let's see what this shop does.
With that thought in mind, Kurenai Yuhi started walking.
In the jar shop.
Lin Mo, who was cultivating the Northern Darkness Divine Art, sensed that Kurenai Yuhi was approaching within the range of True Sight Guard and slowly opened her eyes.
Has this female Jonin from Konoha finally lost her patience and come?
Back when Hiashi Hyuga brought Hinata over, he had already noticed Kurenai Yuhi in a shop through the True Sight Guardian.
Even after Hiashi Hyuga left, the woman was still there.
"Was it Hiashi Hyuga who attracted them?"
"Is it curiosity, or the attention of Konoha's higher-ups?"
Thinking that Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma were very familiar with each other, and even grew up together as childhood sweethearts, Lin Mo narrowed his eyes.
Did the third generation notice his shop?
That shouldn't be possible.
As for Danzo, that mad dog, he probably didn't even notice.
Otherwise, Root ninjas would have been patrolling outside long ago.
So, this Kurenai Yuhi must have been just pure curiosity?
While Lin Mo was lost in thought, Kurenai Yuhi entered the jar shop and met Lin Mo.
"Excuse me, are you the owner of this shop?"
Upon entering, Xi Ri Hong glanced around the shop and found it to be quite simple.
There was nothing at all.
Apart from a counter and a pile of jars, there was nothing else.
It doesn't look like a place that sells things.
For a moment, Kurenai became even more curious.
She hadn't seen the inside clearly from the outside.
Looking at the scene inside now, it just seems like an ordinary shop.
Even if you're just selling ceramic jars, there shouldn't be such a limited selection.
For a moment, Kurenai Yuhi turned her gaze to Lin Mo.
She was curious as to why the head of the Hyuga clan would bring his daughter here.
"good."
Lin Mo nodded slightly and casually glanced at Kurenai.
She is indeed quite attractive.
There are already few female Jonin in Konoha.
Not to mention she's also quite attractive.
"Are these the only jars you sell?"
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Kurenai Yuhi glanced at the jars on the bar with a puzzled expression and chuckled, "I see you're not from Konoha, nor are you a ninja, so why do you know the head of the Hyuga clan? Could you explain that to me?"
Kurenai Yuhi's voice was gentle, and with a slight movement of her fingers, a faint chakra fluctuation spread out silently, like an invisible wind sweeping towards Lin Mo.
As a Jonin who is proficient in genjutsu, she knows how to launch ninjutsu without attracting attention.
This was a carefully prepared illusion that could hypnotize the other person without them realizing it, drawing them into a dream she had woven.
She wasn't going to waste any more time; if she wanted an answer from Lin Mo, she'd just ask him directly in her own way.
Anyway, it won't just be a simple hypnosis session.
However, at that very moment, Lin Mo narrowed his eyes.
Regardless of the fact that this is a small jar shop, he already has a keen sense of illusion magic, having just mastered the [Nightmare Prayer of the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends].
Lin Mo was quite surprised.
It was just a simple exchange, yet Kurenai Yuhi used illusion magic?
Are you in such a hurry?
With a thought, the Nightmare Prayer Technique was activated.
Before Kurenai could react, the scene before her eyes underwent a dramatic transformation.
The once familiar jar shop suddenly became blurry, and the surrounding walls seemed to turn into flowing liquid, constantly twisting and deforming.
The lighting inside the store became strangely bright, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, as if the whole world had been pulled into a dream.
"What...what's going on?"
The sudden turn of events startled Kurenai Yuhi.
Illusion?!
She instantly realized that this was the other party's illusion, otherwise how could the environment have changed like this?
This young man is a ninja?!
But why doesn't he have a headband?
An unknown ninja hiding in Konoha Village?
Before Kurenai could make a move, she found that her body was being firmly suppressed by an invisible force, making her completely unable to move.
Looking down, I found myself bound to a white bed, unable to move, as if imprisoned by some mysterious force.
Lin Mo had already disappeared.
"What on earth is going on?" Kurenai Yuhi gritted her teeth, her face suddenly turning gloomy.
What kind of illusion was it? She had never encountered anything like it before, and even she, a Jonin who was proficient in illusions, could not break free from it.
I'm a Jonin who's an expert in genjutsu!
Kurenai Yuhi tried to mobilize her chakra to break the genjutsu, but found that her chakra seemed to be locked inside her body and could not flow at all.
This made Kurenai Yuhi even more anxious.
In an unfamiliar environment with unfamiliar people, his illusion magic was completely useless.
Who is Lin Mo?
Why would such an illusion exist?
Kurenai tried to break free of her restraints with her last bit of strength, but the invisible force pressed down on her like a mountain, making her unable to move.
"Really, so weak."
Lin Mo emerged from the void, looking at Yuhi Kurenai, who was trapped in the illusion and unable to extricate herself, and sighed.
As a Jonin who is proficient in genjutsu, his mental strength must far exceed that of an ordinary Jonin.
Even so, she could not escape the illusion he had cast.
Before any other absolute power was used to suppress her, the illusion alone was enough to keep Kurenai Yuhi from breaking free.
He doesn't think it's a matter of fading glory.
It can only be said that this Earthly Fiend Technique was beyond his imagination.
"Why not just have a proper conversation? Why resort to hypnosis?"
Lin Mo gently shook his head and said, "Since you're here, it's a good opportunity for me to test the results of the surgery."
Since mastering the operation for two days, he has not attempted to cut a person.
Now, we have some excellent "material".
"Who are you."
Seeing Lin Mo appear out of nowhere, Kurenai Yuhi's face darkened: "How can there be such an illusion technique? What kind of conspiracy is it hiding in Konoha Village?"
Such terrifying illusion techniques must have been performed by an ordinary ninja.
Why are they hiding in Konoha Village?
She felt as if she had stumbled upon some huge secret.
"I'm just a shop owner. If you want to have a good chat with me, there's nothing wrong with that."
Lin Mo gently shook his head and said, "Illusion is indeed your forte, but here, any probing is futile. Why bother?"
As he spoke, Lin Mo casually conjured a chakra blade, causing Kurenai Yuhi's expression to change drastically, filled with shock and anger: "What do you want to do? This is Konoha Village."
This person wants to harm her?
"It's just a few small experiments, don't be nervous."
Hearing what Kurenai Yuhi said, Lin Mo smiled faintly and walked up to her.
Upon seeing Lin Mo walk in, Yuhi Kurenai's face instantly turned even paler.
She already regretted it; if she had known, she shouldn't have used illusion magic to hypnotize this guy and ask him questions.
But there should be no one who isn't a ninja.
Especially the opponent's illusions.
She was certain that she was in an illusion.
It's impossible for it to be anywhere else.
I tried to break free, but I couldn't.
A strong sense of frustration welled up in her heart.
As a Jonin, she had never encountered such a defeat in genjutsu.
Seeing Lin Mo raise the chakra blade and stop it on her body, Kurenai tried to break free from this invisible restraint, but found that her body was still firmly fixed to the white bed and she could not move.
The feeling of chakra confinement made her increasingly anxious, and the fear and anger in her heart intertwined, making it almost impossible for her to remain calm.
"What exactly do you want?" Kurenai's voice was filled with obvious anger and unease.
Her eyes were fixed on the chakra blade in Lin Mo's hand, trying to break the deadlock with words.
As a Jonin, she had never been so passive, nor had she ever faced such a bizarre situation.
Lin Mo did not answer, but simply raised the chakra blade in his hand, his gaze focused and calm.
The movements appeared effortless, yet they casually unleashed a slaughterhouse.
In an instant, a hemispherical shape spread out and enveloped Kurenai Yuhi, making her feel as if she were prey.
That feeling was irresistible!
At this moment, the chakra blade in Lin Mo's hand emitted a faint blue light, and the sharp blade drew a cold light in the air.
The next second, Lin Mo's wrist twitched slightly, and the chakra blade swung down gently, precisely slicing towards Kurenai Yuhi's leg.
Without any obstruction, the blade seemed to cut through the air, and Kurenai's left leg instantly separated from her body, falling neatly to the side.
"what!"
Kurenai's expression changed drastically, and a cry of shock and anger escaped her lips.
However, she soon discovered that she did not feel any pain.
For a moment, a look of extreme panic flashed in her eyes, unable to comprehend what was happening before her eyes.
Even though her leg had been severed, why didn't she feel any pain?
Is this an illusion?
Looking down, I saw my left leg lying there perfectly intact, the incision smooth as a mirror, without even a drop of blood flowing out.
Kurenai's heart suddenly raced, and she felt a strange chill creep up her spine.
Even if it's just an illusion, if you're torturing yourself, you won't feel any pain.
Even mental anguish.
But she could feel that her mind was very calm and she felt no pain, which was what angered and horrified her.
What happened?!
If she were to use illusion magic to cut the other person with a blade, at least blood would flow out, and the other person would even feel pain.
But now, she felt nothing at all.
"What...what did you do to me?" Kurenai's voice trembled.
At this moment, Kurenai Yuhi was unable to suppress her fear, her eyes filled with terror and disbelief.
She had seen all kinds of ninjutsu and illusion techniques, but she had never encountered such a bizarre situation.
Her body was cut open, but she felt no pain, and even the flow of chakra was not affected.
This seems to suggest that she was not under a spell at all.
Lin Mo looked at Yuhi Kurenai's terrified expression and smiled calmly, as if it were all just an ordinary thing.
Ignoring Kurenai's question, he continued to swing his chakra blade, arbitrarily slicing Kurenai's body.
The movements were precise and swift, each cut carrying a peculiar rhythm, as if performing an extremely delicate surgery.
Kurenai's body was being dismembered repeatedly—her arms, torso, and head. But Kurenai felt no pain and remained conscious.
This illogical phenomenon brought her inner fear to its peak, making it almost impossible for her to bear the immense mental pressure.
"How could this be? This can't be!"
Yuhi Kurenai was in complete confusion; she couldn't understand Lin Mo's methods at all.
The feeling of being dismembered was both real and unreal, making her feel as if she were in a nightmare.
She wanted to resist, to escape this strange bondage, but her body no longer seemed to belong to her, leaving her at the mercy of the other party.
Lin Mo, however, remained focused on his "experiment".
He felt an unprecedented sense of intoxication; the process of manipulation and cutting seemed to have transported him to a completely new realm.
He could clearly feel the power of the Ope Ope no Mi flowing through his arm with each cut, as if it were becoming one with the world.
"So this is the power of the Operation Fruit to cut its target."
Lin Mo muttered to himself in a low voice, his eyes flashing with fanaticism.
Whether it's cutting or piecing together, it's all under his control.
As long as one has physical strength, this power can be squandered at will, making one capable of anything.
He continued to wield the chakra blade, piecing Kurenai Yuhi's body back together as if performing a delicate surgery.
Every movement was fluid and natural, without any hesitation.
Under his control, Kurenai's body was like a puppet being manipulated and reassembled to its original state.
Kurenai was filled with terror and anger; she had never felt so powerless.
She felt completely suppressed, as if she had no power to resist the other party.
The feeling of being manipulated at will was a great insult to her dignity.
"Who...who are you?" Kurenai asked with difficulty, her voice filled with helplessness and anger.
Her eyes were filled with terror at Lin Mo.
Who exactly is this guy?
What kind of tactic is this?
"Just testing it out."
Lin Mo put away the chakra scalpel and smiled faintly, "You tested me, so I'll test you too, Jonin Kurenai Yuhi."
As he spoke, Lin Mo released the Nightmare Prayer, and everything around him transformed into the appearance of the Jar Shop.
He and Kurenai Yuhi didn't have any conflict.
There's no need to kill the other person over a trivial matter.
That's pointless.
I own a shop and run a business, not a slaughterhouse.
This experiment, however, was the only positive thing he had ever experienced.
In particular, the task was completed.
Lin Mo looked at the words in front of him, words that only he could see.
