Chapter 37

After being baptized by natural energy, Ishihara's five senses were greatly enhanced.

Thus, the low conversation between the two instantly woke him up.

He directly ignored the Anbu member who had asked the question, looked at Kakashi, and said calmly again:

"I will say it once more: get off of Jugo, Hatake Kakashi!"

Ishihara's eyes gazed calmly at Kakashi.

An invisible pressure radiated from his body.

Buzz—

"Damn it!"

"What on earth is going on?!"

Kakashi's body hair stood on end; he looked at Ishihara in horror, his heart filled with shock.

Clearly, the other party had done nothing, had not emitted any terrifying killing intent, and had not even unleashed any terrifying chakra.

He was simply standing there, gazing calmly at him.

Yet he felt as if he were an ant being watched by a god, his very soul seeming to tremble!

It seemed to be a pressure coming from a life form of a higher level!

Although very faint, it made his hair stand on end!

Although Uchiha Itachi and the others did not have such a direct sensation as Kakashi.

They too felt a certain terrifying sense of oppression.

It was as if a large stone had been pressed onto their hearts, heavy and dense, causing their bodies to stiffen.

The entire corridor became utterly silent.

The oppressive atmosphere grew heavier and heavier.

It was as if a suppressed volcano might erupt at any moment.

It might reach the critical point at any moment.

This terrifying pressure made Kakashi and the others sweat on their foreheads, their hearts pounding wildly.

"Damn it!! Damn it!! Damn it!! What on earth is going on?!!!"

Everyone's hearts were roaring and screaming frantically.

This heavy pressure even made them want to die! Go mad!

Jugo, who had raised his head at some unknown time, saw the terrified expressions on Kakashi and the others and immediately smiled.

"I said long ago that Lord Ishihara is ten times, a hundred times stronger than me!"

"You are doomed!"

"Shut up!!! No matter how powerful you are, you are just a six-year-old brat!"

The Root squad captain, who had long been unable to endure this oppressive atmosphere, roared, his face behind the mask already twisted into a grotesque expression.

Rather than suffocate in this oppressive atmosphere, he would rather make a desperate gamble!!

"Kill!!!"

The Root squad captain roared and charged frantically at Ishihara.

"Stop!!"

Kakashi, pale with shock, shouted anxiously.

Ishihara frowned and glanced displeasedly at the enemy.

"Illusion Space!"

Over these two years, Ishihara had never ceased his cultivation of the Crystal Visualization Method.

Now, his spiritual power and soul strength had long since become incomparably powerful.

Naturally, the power of the Illusion Space had further increased.

The instant it was cast, the Root squad captain was immediately struck!

Yet he felt nothing.

In the Root squad captain's perception, he had actually reached Ishihara's front!

Unbelievable!

Simply too unbelievable!

That mysterious Ishihara, who had made him feel horror, had actually been approached by him so simply!

"Die!!!"

The Root squad captain sneered and stabbed his short knife viciously into Ishihara's heart position, roaring in his mouth:

"You bastard brat, aren't you very powerful? Didn't you develop many secret techniques? Why don't you resist? Huh?!!"

But Ishihara, who had been stabbed by him, merely gazed at him calmly.

As if looking at an ant!

"Bastard, don't look at me with that expression!!!"

The Root squad captain trembled all over.

That gaze seemed to awaken the sense of oppression he had felt just now, causing him to roar frantically.

"Shut up!"

Ishihara frowned and spoke, applying the Illusion Binding Technique onto the other party.

Instantly, the Root squad captain was shocked to discover that he could not speak.

In reality!

Kakashi and the others watched in shock as the Root squad captain, standing not far in front of Ishihara, roared frantically.

"He's been hit by a genjutsu—when did it happen?!"

Itachi in particular stared fixedly at Ishihara, finding it unbelievable.

Casting any kind of genjutsu requires certain conditions!

Even Shisui, whom he knew to wield the strongest genjutsu, still needed to activate his Sharingan to trap an enemy in one.

Yet just now, he hadn't detected a single detail related to genjutsu on Ishihara's body.

This completely overturned everything he knew about genjutsu!

"I knew this guy wouldn't be so easy to deal with!"

Kakashi was already drenched in cold sweat, not even daring to look at Ishihara.

He growled tensely, "Itachi, I'll buy time—run!"

Without waiting for Itachi's response, he swiftly formed Chidori and pressed it against Jugo's body, threatening fiercely:

"Let Itachi go, or I'll kill him right now!"

Itachi's expression shifted slightly, somewhat moved by Kakashi's response.

However.

"Senior, you can't escape…"

"Shut up!!!!!"

Kakashi roared furiously.

Itachi was horrified to find that Kakashi's entire body was trembling.

What he didn't know was that at this moment, Kakashi felt an intense sense of restraint!

"Impossible! I've been hit?! How did he do it?! I didn't look into his eyes—could it have been his voice?!"

Kakashi's mind was in total chaos, but the movements of his hands didn't relax in the slightest.

Because he knew very well that even while trapped in a genjutsu, one could still move in reality.

As long as he held his stance, there might still be some leverage for negotiation.

Itachi's face changed drastically as he too realized the problem, his heart turning to ice.

He couldn't even figure out how the enemy had cast the genjutsu—there was truly no escaping now!

Itachi couldn't help but feel a touch of despair.

Was he going to die?

But what awaited him was Ishihara's somewhat surprised voice.

"Oh, so this is Chidori?"

Ishihara was a little delighted.

Because the instant Kakashi had cast Chidori.
