Several wooden shackles suddenly appeared in Uchiha Ryun's world, their positions also very precise, pressing against his muscles, making it impossible to exert force. Any attempt to exert force caused pain everywhere.
Damn, is this an illusion master? The spiritual power of the two people simply wasn't on the same level. He was far behind.
Then Uchiha Izuna's figure appeared.
"Little guy, you are currently within my illusion space. I will now teach you the Uchiha clan's illusions."
As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of information was transmitted into Uchiha Ryun's mind. It was the Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique and the Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change.
"The reason for testing you is partly to see your magnanimity and courage, and partly to teach you some illusions, because your spiritual power is too weak. Although it's higher than other shinobi, in my opinion, it's still garbage."
"Even Tobirama Senju has stronger spiritual power than you. Do you perhaps want to learn from my elder brother, to break all methods with pure force? But what if you encounter someone stronger than you? What about a powerful opponent like Hashirama Senju?" Uchiha Izuna saw things very clearly. If Madara Uchiha's illusions were powerful, he wouldn't have ultimately been defeated.
Uchiha Ryun was silent, absorbing the knowledge of the two illusions.
"Ding, detected new illusions: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change, Shackling Stakes Technique. Has maximized proficiency for the host."
Uchiha Ryun smiled slightly. "Grandfather, the tables have turned now." He raised his head to look at Uchiha Izuna, murmuring inwardly, 'Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change.'
Instantly, the illusion space shattered. In reality, Uchiha Izuna was patting Uchiha Ryun's head. His eyes moved, revealing a smile. Good kid, learns very fast.
Then he fell into an illusion. The same Shackling Stakes Technique restrained him. Uchiha Ryun appeared in front of him with a smile. "Thank you for your teaching, Grandfather."
"You're thanking me too early." Uchiha Izuna sneered, then turned into a shadow. The Shackling Stakes Technique could not hold him.
Uchiha Ryun was stunned, sensing danger from behind. He turned his head and saw Uchiha Izuna holding a tanto, descending from above, thrusting towards his Sharingan.
Uchiha Ryun hurriedly raised his hand to block. Thud. The blade pierced into the bone, blood flowing freely.
"Grandson, you must know, although this is your illusion, my spiritual power is a bit higher than yours. Even if it's your illusion, I can use it for myself." Uchiha Izuna looked steadily at Uchiha Ryun.
Uchiha Ryun knew this was an illusion, but the pain felt too damn real.
He used a grappling technique to try and seize Uchiha Izuna, but Uchiha Izuna's figure disappeared. This move missed. Immediately after, a kick came from behind.
"Weak, too weak, Uchiha Ryun. Although your physical power can rival my elder brother's, your spiritual power and awareness are far behind." Uchiha Izuna kicked Ryun in the side chest.
Uchiha Ryun was kicked flying out like a shrimp. He cursed inwardly. Damn, is there really no way to counterattack?
"People often only realize their shortcomings when they are weak. Since there are shortcomings, think about how to turn your shortcomings into your strengths." Uchiha Izuna was not in a hurry to attack, just looking at Uchiha Ryun, giving him a hint.
In illusions and spiritual power, Uchiha Ryun had no chance of winning against Izuna.
Uchiha Ryun panted heavily, looking at Izuna. Izuna held a tanto, standing motionless, waiting for Uchiha Ryun's move. In his view, his little grandson did not pay enough attention to illusions and spiritual power.
Perhaps his standards were too high. The spiritual power of the current ninja world, including the Kage of various villages, was not as high as Uchiha Ryun's. Even during the Warring States Period, besides Madara Uchiha, Uchiha Izuna, Hashirama Senju, and Tobirama Senju, no one else in the Uchiha clan or the Senju clan had spiritual power greater than Uchiha Ryun's.
It was just that Uchiha Izuna had very high demands for his grandson. Or perhaps, spare the rod and spoil the child.
Uchiha Ryun closed his eyes and sat cross legged on the spot. Uchiha Izuna looked at his grandson with interest. Had he gained enlightenment? Meditating?
He stuck his sword into the ground, leaning on the hilt, looking forward to Uchiha Ryun's performance later.
"System." Uchiha Ryun called out inwardly.
"It is recommended that the host not call me at such a time. This is a very good training opportunity. The host should think carefully about countermeasures."
Uchiha Ryun mentally cursed, but still began to think. The Uchiha clan's illusions, or rather the ninja world's illusions, this grandfather probably had ideas for all of them in his mind.
And spiritual power, If Hashirama and Madara didn't have cheats, then his grandfather was Uchiha Izuna, the possessor of the strongest spiritual power.
That is to say, if he wanted to win against Uchiha Izuna with a single illusion, it was a pipe dream. First, the other party had more experience than him. Second, the other party had higher spiritual power. Using a single illusion would just get it broken or reflected.
If he wanted to win against him, he had to create his own genjutsu. The use of genjutsu cannot be separated from mental energy, in other words, it cannot be separated from imagination.
Many genjutsu inventors created theirs through their own imagination, so he could too.
Immediately, many ideas flashed through Uchiha Ryun's mind. Finally, his eyes lit up, he instantly opened his eyes and looked at Uchiha Izuna.
Izuna pulled the tanto out of the ground and looked at Ryun with interest. He was just about to greet him when his vision disappeared. He felt a bit disappointed. 'It's the Darkness Genjutsu.'
He shook his head and prepared to form hand signs to break it, but then he found that his body could not move.
Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique!
Uchiha Izuna was stunned. When did Ryun use two genjutsu?
No, not two, but one.
Ryun had combined the Shackling Stakes Technique and the Darkness Genjutsu together, activating them simultaneously to form a new composite technique. Even with his powerful mental energy, he could not break the genjutsu instantly.
It would take at least a few seconds, but what could he do in those few seconds?
Uchiha Izuna sighed. When his vision returned to normal and the Shackling Stakes Technique on his body also disappeared, he saw Ryun placing his own tanto against his neck.
Izuna looked at Ryun with appreciation and recognition. "You passed this first test, and you passed it beautifully."
Ryun smiled and threw the tanto aside. "Then, Grandfather, shall we go out?"
"Okay." Uchiha Izuna nodded, and then his figure disappeared. Ryun released the genjutsu, and his consciousness returned to his body.
"Finished fighting? Izuna, you didn't go easy on him, did you?" Madara Uchiha asked with a laugh.
Uchiha Izuna shook his head. "No, brother. Our grandson is very clever. He thought of a composite genjutsu, which I did not expect."
"I truly lost this round." Uchiha Izuna sighed.
Madara's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Ryun. "Composite genjutsu? You?"
"Cough, what? Is it so surprising, Granduncle?" Uchiha Ryun said with slight annoyance.
