BFTS: Chapter 15
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
The Third Hokage stepped back, and Yamanaka Koyu stepped forward, returning to Kenshi's side. He formed hand seals and performed a genjutsu.
"Genjutsu - Hypnosis."
In the ninja world, interrogation never involved using electric shocks, knives, or other harsh methods to make people break under pain and confess.
Few ninjas would believe the information an enemy revealed after being tortured.
They were ninjas, they only believed in their own jutsu.
So, interrogation in the ninja world was simple and brutal.
They would capture the enemy, just like Kenshi tonight.
The first step after capturing them was to directly and forcefully search their memories using memory exploration jutsu.
If this type of jutsu didn't work, and they couldn't search their memories,
Then they would use genjutsu to induce the enemy to reveal the information they knew.
Only when they couldn't get the desired information through memory searching and genjutsu induction would they proceed to the third step.
This step wasn't torture either, but direct dissection, obtaining the final information from the corpse's physical body.
The principle was actually the same as the first step.
After a person died, as long as their head was intact, they could still use jutsu to read the remaining memories in their brain.
Only when the enemy couldn't be killed would they resort to torture and interrogation.
Thanks to the mutation of his consciousness after transmigration, Kenshi's memories couldn't be explored, the first step didn't work, so they went to the second step.
He was now being invaded by genjutsu chakra.
The essence of genjutsu is actually chakra penetration and invasion.
Genjutsu chakra is a special, very illusory chakra.
This chakra can silently penetrate into the enemy's chakra, and then, as it flows to the brain with the enemy's chakra, it affects the brain, influencing the enemy's perception and creating genjutsu.
So, breaking genjutsu is also simple.
The core is to disrupt your own chakra.
Genjutsu chakra is a very illusory chakra, more like the moon reflected in water. When the surface of the water is still, it's hard to tell which is the real moon and which is the moon reflected in the water.
But once the calm water surface has even the slightest ripple, it's easy to tell which is the moon reflected in the water and which is the real moon.
Therefore, as long as you can disrupt the flow of your own chakra, it's like disrupting the calm water surface, causing ripples, and then the genjutsu is easy to break.
But disrupting your own chakra is not easy.
Especially when you're under genjutsu, your perception is controlled. You think you're mobilizing chakra to disrupt it, but you're actually doing nothing.
Only ninjas who have practiced and understood genjutsu can form a kind of self-protective instinct through their usual practice, bypassing the influence of genjutsu and disrupting their own chakra.
But even then, they can't resist deep genjutsu.
At this time, they usually need the help of a companion to use chakra to disrupt their own chakra, and then they can break free from the genjutsu.
Or, they have a tailed beast in their body that is willing to help them disrupt their chakra.
Kenshi had no one to help him disrupt his own chakra, and he didn't have a tailed beast in his body. His chakra was also sealed and fixed, and he couldn't disrupt it himself.
He should have been unable to resist the genjutsu.
But after his consciousness and chakra merged, even the illusory genjutsu chakra, he could still clearly perceive it.
At this moment, Yamanaka Koyu's genjutsu chakra was like the invisible rod in his dream, poking at his stomach, trying to get inside.
Kenshi perceived it very clearly.
Just like in his dream, he threw away the genjutsu chakra that Yamanaka Koyu was trying to invade with.
In short, it was impossible to successfully invade his chakra.
"As expected, genjutsu doesn't work either!"
Looking at Kenshi, who remained motionless, Yamanaka Koyu helplessly let go of his hand, but there was no surprise on his face.
When the Mind Body Technique didn't work, he had already anticipated that genjutsu would most likely also be ineffective against the target.
After all, the principle of genjutsu was similar to his Mind Body Technique, both requiring penetration into the target's chakra.
"Hokage-sama." Yamanaka Koyu turned back, facing the Third Hokage, and apologized, "I'm sorry, genjutsu is also ineffective against the target."
"I understand." The Third Hokage kept his hands behind his back, his expression unreadable. He said calmly, "You can go now."
Yamanaka Koyu bid farewell and left. When he reached the entrance of the secret room, he looked back at Kenshi. His intuition told him that there was a big secret about this child, a very big secret.
Unfortunately, his Mind Body Technique didn't work.
The Third Hokage obviously didn't intend to tell him this big secret.
He didn't dare to ask further, maintaining the wisdom of a subordinate.
After Yamanaka Koyu left, only the Third Hokage and Kenshi remained in the quiet secret room illuminated by candlelight.
Neither of them spoke, only the sound of Kenshi's heartbeat, like a drumbeat, echoed in the silence.
Clearly, Kenshi was very scared at this moment, not knowing what the Third Hokage was going to do.
The Third Hokage wasn't going to do anything, at least not kill Kenshi now.
He returned to Kenshi's side, formed hand seals, and performed a genjutsu developed by the Second Hokage.
"Dark Walk Technique."
The Third Hokage didn't entirely trust Yamanaka Koyu, or maybe he thought his genjutsu was more powerful than Yamanaka Koyu's.
He believed that Kenshi wouldn't be able to resist the penetration of his Dark Walk Technique chakra.
After all, the Dark Walk Technique was a genjutsu created by the Second Hokage specifically to counter the Uchiha clan's Sharingan.
You must know that the Sharingan is the nemesis of genjutsu, and ordinary genjutsu is directly reflected back to the opponent.
More powerful genjutsu can also be countered by the Sharingan's powerful perception ability, which can see through the genjutsu chakra and anticipate it.
There are very few genjutsu in the ninja world that can effectively work on Uchiha ninjas who possess the Sharingan, especially the three-tomoe Sharingan.
But the Dark Walk Technique couldn't even be broken by the three-tomoe Sharingan.
This shows how powerful the Dark Walk Technique is, truly worthy of being a genjutsu specifically developed for the Uchiha clan's Sharingan.
The Third Hokage didn't believe that Kenshi could resist the powerful Dark Walk Technique.
But the reality was, Kenshi resisted the penetration of the genjutsu chakra again.
Moreover, it was very easy, no more difficult than resisting Yamanaka Koyu's genjutsu chakra.
The Third Hokage fell silent. He stared at Kenshi for a while, then suddenly smiled slightly, raising the corners of his mouth.
"He can even resist the Dark Walk Technique, so can he resist the Sharingan's genjutsu too?"
Kenshi's importance in the Third Hokage's eyes increased even further.
The Uchiha clan was the Third Hokage's biggest headache, and their greatest strength lay in the power of their Sharingan genjutsu.
There's a saying in the ninja world.
"When fighting Uchiha ninjas, never look into the Sharingan."
Just a moment of eye contact, and you'll be trapped in the Sharingan's genjutsu.
So, on the battlefield, when facing Uchiha ninjas with the Sharingan,
In a one-on-one situation, run.
If you don't run and get caught in the genjutsu, you'll be killed without a doubt.
Only in a two-on-one situation, where one person is caught in the genjutsu, and the other can help disrupt their chakra to break free, is there a chance of defeating an Uchiha ninja with the Sharingan.
This shows how powerful the Uchiha clan's Sharingan genjutsu is.
The reason why the Uchiha clan was able to fight on equal footing with the Senju clan for many years during the Warring States Period, becoming one of the two strongest clans in the ninja world, was because of the powerful genjutsu bestowed by the Sharingan.
Even without the Mangekyo Sharingan.
The genjutsu performed by the ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan is something that many Jonin-level powerhouses can't resist.
But now, the Third Hokage saw someone whose chakra was sealed and confined resist a genjutsu that even the three-tomoe Sharingan couldn't resist.
So... could he possibly resist Mangekyo-level genjutsu?
The Third Hokage's gaze towards Kenshi became even brighter.
If he could resist... heh!
The Third Hokage smiled and turned to leave.
