Chapter 258: The Stunning [Telepathy], Jiraiya Returns

The two had met three times, but each meeting made their awareness of each other grow even greater.

Now it had reached a point where even he had to look up to them.

Kakashi took a deep breath and asked:

"We hope to resolve the conflict between you and Konoha."

Ishihara glanced at him and said coolly:

"You have no right to discuss this with me!"

Kakashi's expression froze, and he asked with a bitter smile, "We just want to know your thoughts."

Ishihara shook his head. "What's the point? If I want to do something, Konoha cannot stop me!"

Hearing this, Kakashi's expression grew even more bitter.

After sweeping his gaze around, Ishihara looked directly at Yamanaka Inoichi and said, "I want to see the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan."

Where would Yamanaka Inoichi dare to say no? He hurriedly handed over the secret technique originally intended for trade to Ishihara, very tactfully not mentioning the matter of the trade.

The Yamanaka clan's secret techniques had already developed into a relatively comprehensive skill system.

There were those that controlled an enemy's mental energy, those that read memories, those that transmitted intelligence, and those with sensing abilities.

But there was only one core ninjutsu: the Mind Body Switch Technique!

The Mind Body Switch Technique uses special hand signs aimed at an enemy, concentrating the spirit at a single point through the soul to release one's own spiritual power and seize and control the opponent's body!

He had long since conducted research on the Spirit Transformation Technique and the Dead Soul Seal, plus the Crystal Visualization Method.

This "one-four-zero" secret technique was incredibly simple for Ishihara.

A vast number of inspirations began to flash and collide in his mind.

【You have read the Mind Body Switch Technique, Mind Reading Technique, and Sensing Ninjutsu. You have attained sudden enlightenment. You have created the secret technique: Telepathy.】

【Mind Control: Through powerful mental control abilities, one can read others' memories and thoughts, invade others' brains, control their bodies, and possess powerful sensing abilities.】

A massive amount of information flooded into his mind, and Ishihara's eyes immediately lit up.

This Telepathy was very similar to Professor X's abilities in the X-Men.

There was still great potential to be tapped!

Ishihara returned the secret technique to Yamanaka Inoichi, then looked at Kakashi and immediately activated the technique.

"Telepathy!"

Buzz—

A strange fluctuation, different from ninjutsu, rippled out. Immediately, Kakashi's expression changed; he looked warily at Ishihara and leaped backward.

"What are you doing?!" X2

Just a moment ago, he felt a mysterious power violently trying to surge into his mind, making his head feel as if it were about to explode.

He could feel that the power came from Ishihara.

But what terrified him even more was that the words he spoke were exactly the same as the words Ishihara spoke.

Seeing the other's expression that was half-smiling and half-serious, Kakashi felt a chill in his heart.

"Do you intend to attack us?" X2

"Why are you saying the same words as me?" X2

"Ishihara, what trick are you playing?!" X2

Kakashi's voice grew louder and louder, finally turning into a frantic roar.

Everyone stared at the two, their expressions shifting from initial confusion to growing horror, until now, to terrified shock!

Although Kakashi and Ishihara had different vocal timbres, the words they spoke were identical character for character, and even their tones were the same.

The person who felt the most terror was Kakashi. He asked in fright, "Y-you can read minds?"

Ishihara did not answer; instead, he smiled.

In the midst of Kakashi's uneasy gaze, he directly intensified the power of Telepathy and took control of Kakashi's body.

Instantly, Kakashi's expression returned to calm.

Afterwards, he tried making Kakashi attempt to cast ninjutsu, harm himself, and perform other actions.

There were no problems at all!

But Kizashi and the others were stunned!

In their eyes, just a moment ago Kakashi's face had been twisted in rage and flushed red; the next second, he had returned to calm.

Then he began to cast ninjutsu at the crowd, even taking a kunai and slicing his own wrist.

Blood dripped, drip, drip...

Throughout the entire process, Kakashi maintained a calm demeanor, no different from when they chatted with him on ordinary days.

This eerie contrast made Kizashi and the others not only feel their scalps go numb but also their hair stand on end.

"Is Kakashi being controlled? But I didn't sense any chakra fluctuations!"

"Damn it, what does this monster intend to do?"

"Too terrifying! What secret technique has he developed this time?!"

A massive number of voices flooded into Ishihara's mind.

Fear!

Powerlessness!

Despair!

The emotions and inner thoughts of the Konoha ninjas across from him transformed into a vast amount of information and surged into Ishihara's mind.

"So noisy!"

Ishihara frowned and shut off Telepathy.

However, he was extremely satisfied with the capabilities of this secret technique.

It was too powerful!

It even gave him the illusion that he could take whatever he wanted from the entire world!

More importantly, his control over mental energy and the soul had further improved.

He was now even closer to the next step of immortality!

Kakashi came to his senses, looked at Ishihara with a shudder, and his face turned pale.

He knew everything that had just happened, yet he could not control his own body.

That feeling was simply despairing!

"That monster!"

Ishihara glanced at him, then said lightly, "Have each of the great families send their respective secret techniques to my courtyard."

As his words fell, his figure vanished.

A dead silence fell over the scene.

Shikaku hurriedly asked, "Kakashi, what just happened?"

Kakashi trembled as he spoke, "Just now, my body suddenly became uncontrollable, yet my consciousness was incredibly clear. I could see everything I did, but I could not control my body or resist!"

"Moreover, he seems able to read minds and see through the thoughts in my heart."

He looked up at the crowd, his expression grim.

"Accept your fate; we cannot fight him!"

Shikaku and the others fell silent!

Even though they had already suspected this in their hearts, they could not help but feel a chill of terror at this moment.

Then came utter despair!
