Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Three Illusions
Ryosuke spent some time carefully reading through the illusion scrolls, selecting illusions suitable for himself.
The first was an illusion called Unknown Fire, a visual illusion activated using the Sharingan. The opponent would feel as if their body was being burned by flames within the illusion.
The second was Sharingan Illusion, an illusion activated by the Sharingan. Its effects surpassed general illusions, even allowing control over tailed beasts.
The third was Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique, an illusion specific to the visual powers of the Sharingan.
In the mental world constructed for the target, the enemy would feel as though their body was pierced by giant stakes, rendering them immobile. At the same time, they would experience the illusion of pain, making it particularly useful for interrogation.
This technique was excellent. In the original story, Uchiha Itachi used this move to instantly defeat Orochimaru, who had attempted to seize his Sharingan.
Ryosuke wondered how his own ocular power compared to Itachi's.
His grandfather, who was patiently waiting on the side, noticed that his grandson had already selected the illusion scrolls and moved closer to take a look, feeling a bit surprised.
The first illusion, Unknown Fire, was fine; most clan members with three-tomoe Sharingan could learn it.
The second illusion's power varied depending on the user, with strong users even being able to control tailed beasts.
The third illusion, however, was somewhat difficult to master.
There were only a few people within the Uchiha clan who could perform it.
Nevertheless, Ryosuke's grandfather had great confidence in him. The crimson color of his grandson's Sharingan was a clear indication. The redder the Sharingan, the stronger the ocular power.
At this moment, Ryosuke asked, "Grandfather, can the Sharingan Illusion really control tailed beasts?"
During the Nine-Tails incident, Obito had controlled the Nine-Tails, and even its eyes had displayed the Sharingan's pattern.
If this technique could truly control tailed beasts, he definitely needed to learn it well.
Hearing Ryosuke's question, his grandfather replied helplessly, "It might be possible, but the required ocular power would be immense. A three-tomoe Sharingan wouldn't have the level of power needed for such a feat."
"So during the Nine-Tails incident, it's absolutely impossible that the fox was controlled by a member of our clan."
"To control the Nine-Tails, the necessary ocular power must be massive."
After hearing his grandfather's words, Ryosuke felt a surge of excitement.
This indirectly confirmed that the Sharingan could indeed control tailed beasts. Even if not the Sharingan, the Mangekyo Sharingan's ocular power should suffice to control them.
Especially Obito, whose awakened Mangekyo Sharingan was incredibly powerful. His mental state must have reached the point of total destruction, as he'd killed even his own teacher and his teacher's wife without hesitation.
Obito's ocular power was likely among the strongest in the Uchiha clan's history.
It seemed necessary to thoroughly learn this illusion.
Ryosuke then pointed at the three illusion scrolls on the ground and asked his grandfather, "Grandfather, you know all three of these illusions, right?"
His grandfather nodded.
"Yes, I know all three. In my youth, I was also one of the elite of the Uchiha clan."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have become the Great Elder."
Ryosuke felt a burst of joy.
"Let me take a closer look at the descriptions of these three illusions first."
"After that, please demonstrate them for me so I can copy them with my Sharingan."
His grandfather felt a bit exasperated after hearing this.
Ever since Kakashi had gained a Sharingan from a clan member and made a name for himself in the ninja world, people believed the Sharingan could copy others' techniques.
He explained helplessly, "It's true that the Sharingan's powerful insight allows it to observe others' hand seals and chakra flow."
"For ordinary techniques, it can replicate them accurately."
"But illusions are different."
"While the chakra flow might be copied, Uchiha Sharingan illusions primarily rely on ocular power and mental strength."
"These two factors determine the power of Sharingan illusions."
Hearing this, Ryosuke felt no pressure at all.
Not only did his Sharingan have three tomoe and strong ocular power, but it had also been enhanced once by the system. Its crimson color was a clear sign of its strength.
As for mental strength, training with Kurenai had improved his chakra, naturally enhancing his mental strength as well.
There was no need for tragic events like Obito's loss of Rin or Itachi's loss of Shisui to rapidly increase mental strength.
He smiled and said, "Grandfather, please demonstrate them for me now."
His grandfather had no choice but to oblige and prepared to give Ryosuke a proper demonstration.
His eyes turned crimson, and three tomoe appeared in his pupils.
It was the three-tomoe Sharingan.
Ryosuke wasn't surprised at all. His grandfather, being the Great Elder of the Uchiha clan, naturally had a three-tomoe Sharingan.
However, his grandfather's eyes were a darker red, indicating that he was no longer in his prime.
One by one, his grandfather demonstrated the three illusions to Ryosuke.
The process involved extracting chakra to the eyes and releasing illusionary chakra through the visual system into the opponent's five senses, infiltrating their brain's nervous system to manipulate it.
The challenging part was controlling the chakra through the delicate meridians to gather it in the eyes before releasing it as illusionary chakra.
The eye's meridians were incredibly small and fragile.
For someone inexperienced in chakra control, this could be a dangerous process.
However, Ryosuke had experience controlling chakra to impact chakra limiters, giving him a certain level of proficiency in precise chakra manipulation.
As long as he was careful when practicing ocular techniques, it would be fine.
Although his body had strong regenerative capabilities, he wasn't sure if the delicate meridians in his eyes could heal if damaged.
It was better to be cautious.
His grandfather asked, "Ryosuke, did you observe the activation methods for all three illusions with your Sharingan?"
Ryosuke nodded.
"I've already copied them. Next, let me give it a try."
He began extracting a small amount of chakra, carefully channeling it through the delicate meridians into his eyes.
His eyes became even more crimson.
The illusion he was about to release was Unknown Fire, the simplest of the three techniques.
When enough chakra had gathered, Ryosuke proceeded with the final step, releasing the illusionary chakra.
Since there was no target, he simply directed it toward an empty spot to practice releasing it.
His grandfather, observing the scene, widened his eyes in astonishment.
He could tell that Ryosuke was cautious and used only a small amount of chakra to release the illusion.
But it was undeniable—he had successfully performed the illusion.
The only drawback was that it took time to activate.
However, for a beginner to successfully release an illusion on the first try was already incredible.
It seemed Ryosuke was highly gifted in illusions.
As long as he continued practicing and improved his speed, he would soon master Unknown Fire with proficiency.
To enhance the power of an illusion, more chakra needed to be channeled into the eyes.
This depended on individual talent.
With his three-tomoe Sharingan and strong ocular power, Ryosuke could handle greater amounts of chakra.
There was nothing to worry about—another Sharingan illusion master was about to emerge in the Uchiha clan.
His grandfather felt deeply gratified.
