Chapter 52: Mihawk Awakens

Kakashi, Might Guy, Kurenai, Ryujiro, several people gathered around Asma lying on the hospital bed.

Asma's face flushed slightly.

Although Kurenai also sustained injuries, they were minor compared to having a piece of flesh sliced off the arm and a few ribs broken like his own. 

"Itachi and the rogue ninja from Kirigakure."

"What was their purpose in Konoha?"

Kakashi spoke without hesitation. He was the one who understood Itachi's strength the most. 

Even if Asma and Kurenai teamed up, they wouldn't be a match for Itachi, let alone Kakashi.

Itachi was currently the only one in the Uchiha clan who had activated the Mangekyo Sharingan. Kakashi knew firsthand the terrifying power of those eyes.

"Ryujiro, why were you immune to Itachi's Genjutsu?"

"Not only did Itachi's Genjutsu fail earlier, but his eyes also seemed to have been damaged."

Kurenai looked at Ryujiro beside her and spoke.

Everyone's gaze focused on Ryujiro. It was Itachi Uchiha, after all. When it came to Genjutsu, the Uchiha clan was unparalleled.

Those sinister eyes contained the power of the Sharingan.

Kakashi's gaze was fixed on Ryujiro. The Genjutsu of Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan had no effect on Ryujiro.

This was simply unbelievable.

Ryujiro shrugged, "I don't know either. I just felt a brief loss of consciousness at that time, and I have no idea what happened afterwards."

That was Ryujiro's secret, and naturally, he couldn't tell anyone else.

To be honest, even Ryujiro himself hadn't expected that the system could help him become immune to Genjutsu. 

He had been a bit careless at that moment, as everything in the Tsukuyomi dimension was under Itachi's control.

Fortunately, he had the system as his backup.

Who knew?

It seemed that Ryujiro had some special physique that made him immune to Genjutsu. 

Although they had never heard of such a physique before, the ninja world was vast and full of wonders, and there were many things they didn't know about.

"In any case, Konoha needs to strengthen its defenses. The infiltration of two S-rank rogue ninjas into Konoha is not a good sign."

"Most importantly, we don't know what their objective is."

Indeed.

Whether they targeted someone specific or wanted to steal something from Konoha.

Perhaps only Ryujiro and Kakashi knew the purpose of these two.

Although Jiraiya and Kakashi had previously revealed information about Akatsuki, Kakashi was suspicious but not certain.

-------------------------------------

"Immune to Genjutsu."

"Doesn't that mean Genjutsu from this world won't affect me?"

This was something that made Ryujiro happy. For him, the most limiting factor was undoubtedly Genjutsu.

If Genjutsu didn't work, his strength would not be restricted. 

There were quite a few ninjas in the ninja world who used Genjutsu, and when it came to playing with Genjutsu, the Uchiha clan were the masters.

If not even the Uchiha's Genjutsu worked on him, then what Genjutsu could restrict him?

[Character Template: Dracule Mihawk]

[Character Unlock Progress: 94%]

94% completed, only 6% left until the character template was unlocked.

It seemed like a small amount, but for Ryujiro now, it wasn't something that could be achieved in a short time.

It had been a long time since he had entered the system space. His current strength should be comparable to Mihawk's now, right?

"Hmm?"

After entering the mental space, Ryujiro frowned.

It seemed like there was a change in the mental space. Those sparkling dots gave him the feeling of dazzling stars.

And at this moment, Mihawk in the mental space was also different from usual.

Mihawk turned around, and those sharp eyes stared straight at Ryujiro.

This feeling...

Ryujiro's eyes widened suddenly.

The Mihawk in front of him now was different from before. Before, the Mihawk felt like a puppet, a fighting machine fighting against Ryujiro.

But now, the Mihawk gave Ryujiro the feeling that he was facing a living person.

"You're here again."

Mihawk looked at Ryujiro with a calm tone.

But Ryujiro's reaction was as if he had seen a ghost, staggering back a few steps in shock.

Mihawk spoke!

What's going on here!

Could it be that there was a change in the system space? In that case, the current Mihawk was not a puppet, but a living person with self-consciousness?

"Do you have self-consciousness?"

Ryujiro asked tentatively.

Mihawk nodded and said, "I should say that my consciousness has always existed.

I remember clearly fighting with you, but I couldn't control my body because it was under the control of some force. Although my consciousness was there, I couldn't control my body."

"But some force was controlling your body."

Knowing the truth, Ryujiro couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It seemed that the reason Mihawk had been restricted before was because of the influence of the system.

"When did you regain consciousness?"

Mihawk shook his head. "I don't know either. There seems to be no concept of time in this space. This space seems to have been specially designed for you."

"Your swordsmanship has improved rapidly over the years. In just a few years, you've reached the level of a master swordsman."

"It's truly amazing."
