Chapter 12

As a key place for imprisoning Uchiha clansmen, the dungeon was heavily guarded, but Chu Yang was still qualified to enter and exit this place freely.

Because the news that he became the direct disciple of Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama had long spread throughout the Senju clan.

Chu Yang's status at this time was different from before.

So, when Chu Yang entered the dungeon, the guards just asked routinely.

Even arranged for elites in the clan to protect Chu Yang.

However, before Chu Yang entered the dungeon, the guard specifically exhorted: "Must not endanger the lives of these prisoners. They are bargaining chips used to exchange for Senju clansmen."

As the war continued, both sides had prisoners. In the end, there was bound to be a negotiation.

The experiment Chu Yang wanted to do would not endanger the safety of these people. On the contrary, he himself would be a bit dangerous.

Chu Yang agreed and entered the dungeon.

And the Uchiha clansmen who heard the noise turned their heads toward Chu Yang.

Only then did Chu Yang see that their eyes were wrapped in curse marks of sealing jutsu.

Adopting this method to manage Uchiha clansmen was a lesson learned by the Senju clan with blood.

In addition, the sealing jutsu on the Uchiha clansmen could also prevent them from extracting chakra.

To let them perform genjutsu on Chu Yang, he had to take these curse marks off first.

Chu Yang turned to the guard beside him and said: "Find one who is most seriously injured and has the least chakra."

The guard immediately showed a look of embarrassment.

Chu Yang smiled and explained: "I just want to see the Sharingan genjutsu of the Uchiha clan."

The guard breathed a sigh of relief and followed with a smile: "That's no problem."

Not long after, the guard brought out a boy who was even younger than Chu Yang from the prison.

The boy was sallow and thin, listless, looking like he had been malnourished for a long time, so much so that even Chu Yang doubted he could squeeze out any chakra.

Chu Yang thought to himself that the other must have been hungry for a long time during his time in the dungeon.

Soft and limp like a piece of rotten mud.

He originally intended to let the guard change one, but Chu Yang thought about it and decided to be cautious. Who knows if he is pretending.

Without the blessing of pupil jutsu, it is very difficult for ordinary ninjas to see through the opponent's chakra volume, unless the strength is disparate.

"Be careful, I'm going to uncover his curse marks." After the guard exhorted Chu Yang, he reached out and tore off the curse marks covering the boy's eyelids.

Chu Yang didn't even need to say much. The boy opened his eyes and stared at Chu Yang with his Sharingan.

One single-tomoe, one double-tomoe.

The moment the two looked at each other, the boy's hateful gaze pulled Chu Yang into the genjutsu.

Chu Yang's expression suddenly became blank and dull.

This made the guard on the side breathe rapidly, subconsciously wanting to knock out the Uchiha boy who was performing genjutsu.

"Wait."

A thick and mature voice came from outside, stopping the guard's action.

The guard turned his head and was immediately shocked, bowing and saluting. The person who came was Senju Tobirama.

He stood on the side and watched with interest, then smiled: "This kid is still cautious, it won't be a problem to save his life on the battlefield in the future. Big brother also told me not to be too harsh on him, but now it seems there is no need."

Senju Tobirama's words were all about cultivating Chu Yang as a successor, which made the guard shocked. He felt that he had underestimated Chu Yang's status.

The guard just wanted to say something when the Uchiha boy in his hand suddenly let out a muffled grunt, then fainted, and Chu Yang also woke up from the genjutsu.

Chu Yang's eyes became agile again, and mixed with a trace of lingering fear. Although he was prepared, the Sharingan genjutsu was even more terrifying than he expected.

"Woke up? How do you feel?"

"Not bad..." Chu Yang heard the familiar voice and hurriedly greeted Senju Tobirama respectfully: "Teacher, good morning!"

Senju Tobirama said indifferently: "You still know I'm your teacher? Entering the dungeon to do such a dangerous thing without saying a word! Do you know how terrifying the Sharingan genjutsu is?"

Chu Yang hurriedly explained: "In the missions I encountered before, they were all Uchiha clansmen who hadn't opened their eyes, so I wanted to experience the real Sharingan, so as not to pay tuition on the battlefield in the future."

"Better to be prepared than to hold the Buddha's feet temporarily!"

Senju Tobirama, who was originally a bit angry, heard this, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. Chu Yang's idea was very much to his liking. He had always liked to plan ahead.

What Senju Tobirama had the biggest headache about was the naivety of his big brother Hashirama, who was "the boat will straighten itself when it reaches the bridge."

Thinking of this, Senju Tobirama had no intention of blaming Chu Yang for being reckless.

Instead, he asked: "What does it feel like to experience the Sharingan genjutsu for the first time?"

"Very terrifying!" Chu Yang said seriously, recalling carefully: "It is faster than ordinary genjutsu, making it difficult for the target to guard against. Before it started, I had already reminded myself to be careful, but I still got hit in an instant."

"What is truly desperate is that the Sharingan genjutsu cannot be dispelled by conventional methods, and can only be endured by willpower."

Senju Tobirama nodded: "You are right. So far, when we fight against genjutsu experts of the Uchiha clan, except for not looking at the opponent's eyes, there is basically no other way to avoid the Sharingan genjutsu."

"The only thing to be thankful for is that the advantage of genjutsu in war is not obvious. After all, the battlefield is the easiest place to disrupt the effect of genjutsu."

Chu Yang suddenly realized: "In other words, except for small-scale battles and 1-on-1 battles, the role that genjutsu can play is very limited."

"That's right." Senju Tobirama reminded Chu Yang: "So you only need to understand the characteristics of the Sharingan genjutsu, don't go too deep, wasting your time and energy."

Chu Yang nodded respectfully: "Teacher, I know."

In fact, Senju Tobirama didn't think Chu Yang would stop under his reminder. In his eyes, this was a young man with very strong opinions.

So, Senju Tobirama just said a few words and left the dungeon.

After Senju Tobirama left, Chu Yang silently felt his own Haki.

Under the stimulation of genjutsu, it indeed increased.

After the negative emotions and scenes in the genjutsu stimulated Chu Yang's spirit, his momentum or will would erupt, which in turn affected Haki.

This argument has been verified.

In addition, Chu Yang found that as Wood Release constantly strengthened his cell activity, making his physique stronger, Haki would also slowly improve, but the effect was not as obvious as genjutsu stimulation.

The excited Chu Yang let out a long breath, glanced down at the Uchiha boy who had fainted, and said expressionlessly: "Next!"

Just like this, after Chu Yang experienced three Sharingan genjutsu baptisms, Haki made a breakthrough.

Armament Haki was not only a step higher, but also brought along the mastery of Observation Haki!
