"Hehe, indeed. In this genjutsu space, I am the supreme ruler," Danzō chuckled softly. This feeling of controlling others' life and death was truly wonderful.
"The strongest? Not necessarily, right?" Shinji reached out, feeling the surroundings. Whether by touch or smell, everything was normal. Meaning, this genjutsu space was somewhat similar to Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi, but clearly, there should be some differences.
"This is a genjutsu space I created. As long as I wish, any harm you suffer here will appear on your body exactly as it is. Meaning, dreams manifest into reality," Danzō split his mouth into a grin. This really was a good ability.
"Indeed a good ability. But do you think you can defeat me here just like this?" After sensing everything around, Shinji refocused his gaze on Danzō.
"Naturally. In this genjutsu space, both chakra recovery rate and power enhancement have reached a strengthened level. Besides... from your performance just now, the current you and the you from a year ago are completely different, right?" Danzō, experienced and scheming, deduced from Shinji's performance just now, whether it was the defensive power of the Jade Shield or the offensive nature of the Geo pillars, seemed completely different from the previous Shinji.
Meaning, Danzō had already learned from the brief exchange just now that Shinji in this state was definitely not at his peak combat power. Meaning, this was his best chance of victory.
"Genjutsu... Since that's the case, let us have a real contest. Tendo Bansho (Planetary Devastation)!" Shinji crossed his arms. A huge Heavenly Star had already formed in this genjutsu space, attacking directly towards Danzō's position.
"Right, right, this is the skill. Looking now, it's also vastly different from before," Danzō narrowed his eyes. The Heavenly Star Shinji used at this moment was completely different in level from the Heavenly Star that dispersed the Nine-Tails with one move before. But thinking about it, it made sense. The current Shinji only possessed 32.2% of Zhongli's power; in terms of offense, it was still insufficient.
"Mangekyō Sharingan! Rinne Gōtama (Samsara Tomoe)!" Danzō suddenly clapped his hands together. The Mangekyō Sharingan in his right eye began rotating crazily. Then, a line of blood tears flowed down from Danzō's right eye. Clearly, even Danzō using this move rashly now still incurred some cost. And the Mangekyō Sharingan consumed dōjutsu power (pupil power). The more consumed, the greater the pressure Danzō endured.
Following Danzō's roar, the Rinne Gōtama formed within the Mangekyō Sharingan. A tomoe carrying a dangerous aura appeared, charging straight towards the Heavenly Star Shinji created.
Boom!!! The Heavenly Star falling from the sky collided with the Rinne Gōtama. Then, a deafening sound appeared in this genjutsu space. Under the effect of the Rinne Gōtama, the Heavenly Star created by Shinji shattered into pieces, forming small meteorites that swept towards Konoha behind him.
Dust settled. Numerous Heavenly Star fragments bombarded Konoha's location. Instantly, numerous cries echoed from behind Danzō. Danzō, however, seemed completely unaffected, not even glancing towards that location.
"They are wailing," Shinji looked into Danzō's eyes and said.
"Just a genjutsu space," Danzō stated calmly, as if everything happening in the genjutsu space had nothing to do with him.
"Doesn't matter if it's genjutsu? That attack just now, if you adjusted your angle slightly, you could have avoided that location," Shinji glanced at the location behind Danzō. Those cries came precisely from there.
"Naturally. But this way is simply insufficient to shake my heart," Danzō said coldly.
"Really..." Shinji looked somewhat angrily at Danzō. If one wanted to be a qualified Hokage, then tolerance and care for the villagers were unavoidable. But from Danzō's statement, Shinji couldn't see any intention to improve at all.
"You'd better worry about yourself first, Boss Shinji," Danzō looked at Shinji's expression. His eyes narrowed, and his figure charged towards Shinji.
"Vortex Vanquisher! Rain of Stone!" Shinji whispered softly, controlling Geo element to form a Vortex Vanquisher in his hand, charging directly towards Danzō's position. Shinji's Vortex Vanquisher began to swing, moving rapidly forward, raining down spears of stone along the path and at Danzō's location.
"Hehe, Fūton! Shinkū Daigyoku (Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere)!" Danzō formed hand seals. Boosted by the genjutsu space, both power and speed were much faster. He spat out a high-pressure wind sphere from his mouth.
This was the enhanced version of Vacuum Sphere. If Vacuum Sphere was a machine gun, then Vacuum Great Sphere was like a rocket launcher, crashing towards the rain of stone spears filling the sky. At the same time, a kunai appeared in Danzō's hand, charging directly towards Shinji. Confirmed, it was the same kunai that dared to stab Susanoo.
Instantly, the two attacked together. Although Danzō was older now, boosted by the genjutsu space, he still recovered his peak ability, meaning Kage-level strength. Shinji, on the other hand, under the effect of the genjutsu space, had his figure and movements suppressed somewhat. When the two attacked together, Shinji's speed was clearly a bit weaker. But boosted by Rain of Stone with the Vortex Vanquisher, Shinji's attack didn't fall behind either. The two could be said to be evenly matched, back and forth.
After several minutes of attacks, Danzō suddenly retreated backward, his hands forming hand seals. "Mangekyō Sharingan! Mirror World! Fire Punishment!" Danzō finished the seals and spoke directly. Then, the entire map changed. Streams of lava began to surge from underground, continuously bombarding Shinji's direction. Shinji, however, waved his hands. A Geo pillar rose from the ground, resisting the high temperature of the lava, lifting Shinji's body into the air.
[Ding!]
[Host Roleplay Time remaining: 3 minutes. Host, please pay attention] Suddenly, the system delivered bad news. Zhongli's roleplay time was about to expire! This wasn't good news for Shinji.
"How about this!" Danzō covered his right eye with his hand. The blood tears on it were almost uncontrollably gushing out.
"Indeed a good genjutsu. But..." Shinji looked at this seemingly real genjutsu. A good decision suddenly formed in his mind. Open the system space. The system prompt earlier was ignored by Shinji. When Shinji looked again.
[Ding!]
[Host triggered Temporary Mission]
[Genjutsu Showdown!]
[Mission Content: Defeat Danzō head-on in genjutsu. Provides one Mysterious Costume Card]
[Mission Reward: A certain skill from the Mysterious Costume Card will become a permanent skill for the Host]
After reading the mission prompt, Shinji directly went to the system warehouse to find that mysterious costume card. Inside, a card continuously flickered with an eerie purple light. Looks like this was the mysterious costume card prompted by the system. Shinji didn't idle, directly touching the card. Instantly, the card emitted a purple light that shone onto Shinji.
[Begin Roleplay!]
[Host: Shinji]
[Roleplay Character List: Katekyo Hitman Reborn - Vongola Famiglia 10th Generation Mist Guardian - Rokudo Mukuro!]
[Roleplay Character Progress: 100%]
[Today's Roleplay Time: 1/30 minutes]
[Choose to project Rokudo Mukuro's image?]
[Yes/No]
[No!]
Shinji looked at the prompt in the system, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. This was a very powerful character. Although Shinji chose not to project Rokudo Mukuro's image, the numerical character 'Six' (六) appeared in his right eye.
"Heh~ Genjutsu? The essence of genjutsu lies in hiding truth within illusion, hiding lies within truth! Lord Danzō, your lie, or my lie, who is the one telling the lie?" Shinji chuckled lightly towards Danzō.
"Could it be Boss Shinji also intends to use genjutsu? Under the observation of my Mangekyō Sharingan, Boss Shinji actually thinks genjutsu can deceive me?" Danzō heard Shinji's words, a mocking look already appearing on his face.
"That may... not necessarily be the case," Shinji chuckled lightly, showing no intention of dodging, instead jumping directly down from the Geo pillar, his legs directly submerging into the lava.
"How... How is this possible? Also, what's wrong with your eye? Is this some new dōjutsu?" Danzō looked somewhat surprisedly at Shinji, completely unaffected by his genjutsu. Moreover, the 'Six' in Shinji's eye, although not very conspicuous, was still discovered under the observation of Danzō's Mangekyō Sharingan. An eye with the character 'Six', truly the first time seeing such a pupil.
Could it be some previously undiscovered dōjutsu clan? But Danzō only remained surprised for a few seconds before calming down. No matter what dōjutsu clan, before the Uchiha clan's Mangekyō Sharingan, ranked number one in the entire ninja world, all genjutsu would be observed by him. And Danzō wouldn't believe the genjutsu created by this thing could evade the observation of the Mangekyō Sharingan. So, thinking of this, Danzō's entire heart relaxed.
"Looks like Lord Danzō is still very confident," Shinji looked at Danzō's calmed expression and said with a chuckle.
"Possessing the Uchiha clan's Mangekyō Sharingan, could I possibly lose in genjutsu?" Danzō said confidently. This was indeed the thing he relied on most.
"Uh-huh, is that so," The number in Shinji's right eye suddenly changed to one.
"If not?" Danzō reached out, the kunai in his hand stabbing directly into Shinji's body. Instantly, large amounts of blood flowed from Shinji's mouth, as if Danzō's attack hit him.
"Is this your dōjutsu?" Danzō looked satisfyingly at his masterpiece. However, the next second, Shinji's body vanished directly.
Puchi! The next second, Shinji, holding a trident, delivered a kidney strike to Danzō, directly piercing through Danzō's abdomen.
"Cough cough cough, how is this possible!" Danzō felt the pain in his body, staggering forward, pulling the trident out of his body. Shinji maintained the posture of having thrust the trident, looking at the wound on Danzō's abdomen, a playful look flashing in his eyes.
"How about it, Lord Danzō?"
"Did you cast genjutsu on me just now?" Danzō looked at Shinji, whom he had originally pierced. Why did he appear behind him in an instant and deliver such a heart-chilling blow?
"Genjutsu? Lord Danzō, why don't you try dispelling it yourself?" Shinji swung the trident downwards heavily, flinging off Danzō's blood on it.
"Dispel!" Danzō formed hand seals, beginning to disrupt the chakra in his body. This was the most basic method to dispel genjutsu. As long as the chakra in one's body was disrupted, one could break free from the genjutsu created by chakra. However, what Danzō didn't expect was that Shinji's, or rather, Rokudo Mukuro's genjutsu, fundamentally had nothing to do with chakra.
"Why isn't it dispelled?" Danzō looked puzzledly at himself and Shinji. Why was he still in this place?
"First Path, Hell Path," Shinji said softly. Following his words, large amounts of hail suddenly fell from the sky. The hail landed on the ground, intertwining with the lava Danzō created just now. Soon, the cooled lava solidified, forming volcanic rock.
First Path, Hell Path: Uses illusions to trap people in endless nightmares and destroy the opponent's mental strength, equivalent to genjutsu. Genjutsu directly acts on the human brain to control the senses. When the illusion is too real, it can even inflict physical damage on the opponent.
Yes, Shinji's genjutsu could give the opponent endless nightmares. If Danzō couldn't dispel this illusion, then correspondingly, Danzō would be backlashed by the virtual reality created by this illusion.
"Damn it! Mangekyō Sharingan! Rinne Gōtama!" Danzō was completely controlled by anger. He clapped his hands together, and a tomoe attacked towards Shinji's direction. But the Rinne Gōtama passed through Shinji as if passing through an afterimage.
"How is this possible? Could it be I'm still in genjutsu?" Danzō saw his attack completely ineffective and instantly knew he was still in the illusion. Then, Danzō released the hand covering his Mangekyō Sharingan, then directly opened it to observe Shinji. Yes, he intended to use the Mangekyō Sharingan's innate ability to see through illusions to see through Shinji.
"Here! Fūton! Shinkū Daigyoku (Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere)!" Suddenly, Danzō, while observing, seemed to sense something, directly using Vacuum Great Sphere to attack in that direction.
Bang! Following Danzō's attack, it seemed to hit something, revealing Shinji's figure. However, Shinji, having endured this wave of attack head-on, also looked somewhat disheveled, his clothes somewhat tattered.
"Hahaha, I told you the Mangekyō Sharingan can see through all your illusions!" Danzō became happy upon seeing this scene. The feeling of being unable to fight back just now seemed very unpleasant to him. But now, being able to find Shinji's location and cause damage to him, this was simply a major progress for Danzō.
Then, after finding Shinji's location, Danzō charged directly over, his kunai striking towards Shinji's body. Shinji also picked up the trident in his hand and started fighting Danzō. But clearly, Danzō held the upper hand more. But sometimes Shinji would also stab Danzō with the trident, streaks of blood beginning to appear.
