"Ōnoki smoothed out the chaotic chakra. Gaara was shocked to discover that the one in the center of his two sand waves was not Kaoru at all, but the Mizukage, Mei Terumī!!!"
"This means the person he was about to attack was not Kaoru, but the Mizukage!"
"I almost fell for it…" Gaara was filled with immense fear. He gritted his teeth, abruptly halted his sand wave attack, and then looked at Kaoru's location with a complex expression, completely afraid to meet Kaoru's eyes.
"You discovered it? What a shame." Kaoru shook his head, a hint of regret in his expression.
Seeing Kaoru's expression, Gaara instantly understood everything. He had fallen for Kaoru's Sharingan genjutsu… But how was that possible?
Gaara knew the terrifying nature of Sharingan genjutsu, so during battles, he always avoided making eye contact with Uchiha Kaoru. Yet, he had still been targeted by his genjutsu and almost attacked the Mizukage!
"Gaara, it seems you don't understand the reason… Since that's the case, let me explain it to you." Kaoru nodded, brushing aside a strand of hair from his ear, and spoke softly.
"Indeed, you all know how to counter the Sharingan, but you overlooked the moment you first arrived on the battlefield and spoke with me…"
"The moment you first arrived on the battlefield?" Mei Terumī frowned, looking at Kaoru in confusion.
"That's right. When you first arrived on the battlefield, you all unconsciously glanced at me. No… rather, except for the Third Tsuchikage, the other three Kage unconsciously saw my eyes. And it was then that I cast a genjutsu suggestion on you with my Sharingan."
Hearing this, the three Kage looked at the Tsuchikage with complex expressions. The Tsuchikage merely replied with a grim face, offering no answer.
"This suggestion requires a very high level of ocular skill. After casting the suggestion, I can activate these suggestions with my Sharingan at any time, and then you will be attacked by my genjutsu…" Kaoru explained calmly, then looked towards the Tsuchikage. Feeling Kaoru's gaze, the Tsuchikage quickly averted his eyes.
"Lord Tsuchikage can completely avoid eye contact with me. It seems you had a bad experience with someone from the Uchiha clan in the past… which made you remember never to make eye contact with a Sharingan, no matter the time… Let me guess… the person who caused you trouble… was it Madara Uchiha? Am I right?"
With a playful smile, Kaoru said this to the Tsuchikage.
"You brat… Don't make baseless assumptions about my thoughts…" The Tsuchikage, his past pain touched upon by Kaoru, clenched his fists, extremely displeased at having his past dredged up.
"Does this mean…" Mei Terumī gritted her teeth, showing no interest in the Tsuchikage's past, but deeply impressed by the difficulty and incredulity of Kaoru's genjutsu.
"That's right. If he wishes, he can activate the suggestion at any time and attack us with genjutsu! Even if we quickly break free from the genjutsu, he can counter-attack us in the process. After all, he can use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu; his speed is simply too fast!" Gaara said unwillingly.
"Alright, you've all felt the power of my genjutsu again, and I'm very satisfied… However, my genjutsu is far from over…" Kaoru said calmly, his gaze sweeping over the three Kage on the ground who dared not make eye contact with him.
"Uninteresting…" Shaking his head slightly, Kaoru shifted his gaze back to the Fourth Raikage, who was still held captive in his Susanoo.
The Raikage could only glare furiously at Kaoru, not avoiding Kaoru's gaze at all. After all, he was completely captured now, his life in Kaoru's hands. What difference did it make whether he fell victim to genjutsu or not…
"Fourth Raikage, don't be so reckless next time. Think through your strategy before attacking…" After mocking the Fourth Raikage, Kaoru threw him far away. Seeing this, Gaara immediately controlled his sand to catch the disheveled Raikage.
The scene fell silent once more. After witnessing Kaoru's terrifying power, the four Kage no longer dared to rashly attack Kaoru. After all, a single misstep could lead to their defeat. Their ability to fight until this point was largely due to Kaoru holding back significantly.
Seeing the four Kage looking cautious, Kaoru tilted his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over them. He said softly, "What… are you unwilling to make the first move now? In that case… don't blame me for attacking!!!"
"!!!"
Hearing Kaoru's words, the four Kage-level figures were instantly startled and instinctively tried to move from their positions.
However, before they could make any move, Kaoru's figure flashed, disappearing from his spot and reappearing in the center of the four of them!
"Corruption!!!" Kaoru shouted lightly, his Mangekyō Sharingan spinning frantically!
In the next moment, a barrier with a radius of about a hundred meters spread out from Kaoru's body, enveloping the four Kage beside him!!!
This barrier was a strange, dim, dark green. Not only that, but the moment the Corruption field enveloped the four Kage, pieces of what looked like tangible spirits, groaning, emerged from beneath the ground, constantly wandering within this hundred-meter radius barrier.
These wandering souls drifted through this space, emitting constant, agonizing screams. They swirled around the four Kage, relentlessly tormenting their nerves!
"What are these…" Clutching their heads in pain, Gaara was astonished to find his stamina inexplicably draining. This unknown, bizarre ninjutsu was inflicting both physical and mental damage.
"Damn these annoying ghosts!!!" The Fourth Raikage roared. With a fierce resolve, his chakra surged, and he punched at a screaming ghost beside him. However, it was completely futile. His fist passed through the spirits, causing no damage whatsoever.
It wasn't just Gaara and the Raikage; Mei Terumī and Ōnoki were in the same predicament. Ōnoki couldn't even fly and could only kneel on the ground, his stamina slowly draining.
Under the dual assault on his mind and body, even a taijutsu master like the Fourth Raikage had limited mobility, struggling to move within the range of Corruption.
Seeing the Fourth Raikage slowly crawling out of the Corruption barrier, Kaoru's lips curved upwards. He walked towards the Raikage and then kicked him back into the barrier.
At this moment, not only the arena but also the spectators and the Kage's escorts fell silent. The situation was too bizarre. The four Kage looked listless and defeated beside Kaoru.
They had tried to escape the barrier, but Kaoru easily and unceremoniously dragged them back in. This didn't resemble a ninja battle at all; it was more like a fight between ordinary people, with Kaoru acting like a villain and the four Kage like helpless children.
"It seems the battle is over… Honestly, you've truly disappointed me…" Looking at the Kage's expressions of extreme pain, Kaoru's face showed a hint of mockery.
"You…" Ōnoki struggled to lift his head, looking at Kaoru in pain, and said with difficulty, "What ninjutsu is this? Why have I never heard of it!"
"This is my unique ninjutsu. Even an experienced person like you naturally wouldn't know…" Hearing Ōnoki's words, Kaoru's lips curved upwards, and he said softly, "Never mind, I'll explain it to you briefly."
After a slight pause, Kaoru continued, "This is a barrier ninjutsu that combines genjutsu and ninjutsu. Within this barrier, your bodies will continuously suffer damage. This damage is continuous and directly affects every cell of your being…"
"Furthermore, your minds will be constantly attacked by genjutsu. This isn't simple visual genjutsu; it's a genjutsu that can completely disrupt all six senses…"
"Powerful genjutsu and ninjutsu…" The four Kage gritted their teeth, feeling their physical conditions, and coupled with the cries of countless vengeful spirits around them, their ears filled with terrifying screams, making them agitated.
"Raikage… let's cooperate…" At this moment, the most experienced Ōnoki suddenly spoke and struggled to reach the Raikage's side, whispering words into his ear.
"I understand!!!" In the next moment, the Fourth Raikage nodded vigorously and then exerted a sudden burst of strength, lifting the short Ōnoki.
"Hah!!!" With a loud roar, the Fourth Raikage and Ōnoki exerted their strength together, directly throwing Ōnoki out, instantly escaping the range of the Corruption barrier.
"Hmm…" Seeing this, Kaoru felt a slight surprise. Due to the gradual loss of life force within the Corruption barrier, the chakra usage of those inside was significantly restricted.
Although the Fourth Raikage's taijutsu was strong, his strength within the barrier would likely be considerably depleted. Yet, he had managed to throw Ōnoki out…
However, in the next moment, Kaoru smiled and murmured to himself, "Super Heavy Stone Jutsu, huh… As expected of the Tsuchikage, who has lived for so long. He's not entirely foolish…"
At this moment, Ōnoki floated in the air. Hearing Kaoru's words, cold sweat beaded on his forehead. If he hadn't used Super Heavy Stone Jutsu to reduce his weight to the absolute minimum and combined it with the Raikage's strength to escape, the four Kage would truly have been defeated collectively by Kaoru's bizarre ninjutsu…
"Lord Tsuchikage, you are the only one who escaped. What about the other three Kage? Or do you have enough confidence that you can defeat me alone?" Kaoru asked calmly, looking at Ōnoki in the air.
"I don't need you to remind me of that!" Ōnoki roared, returning to the ground and forming hand seals.
