Chapter 50 Who is the strongest? Methods to strengthen resistance to illusion magic.
"——Rasengan!"
Another survival drill.
Using the dust and mist created by Kushina Uzumaki's Wind Release technique as cover, Yoru Gojo threw several kunai at Orochimaru.
Although the image was somewhat blurry, Orochimaru easily dodged the kunai attack.
The next second, his pupils contracted.
Suddenly, Gojo Yoru appeared in front of Orochimaru without warning, holding a blue-white energy ball in his hand, stopping just a few centimeters away from his stomach.
Orochimaru broke out in a cold sweat for the first time.
At the same time, his eyes were filled with surprise as he asked, "You've learned the Flying Thunder God Technique?"
"Actually, I had already learned this technique the day we came back." Gojo Yoru chuckled, then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to disappear, slamming the Rasengan into a large tree, instantly shattering it.
Gazing at the scene of the fallen tree and billowing dust, Orochimaru, unusually, felt a pang of envy and murmured, "Is this the Flying Thunder God Technique? No wonder Sarutobi-sensei was so eager to see this technique reappear; it's truly terrifying."
When Orochimaru was young, neither the First Hokage nor the Second Hokage had died yet.
However, by the time he was able to stand on his own, Konoha had already entered the era of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He had never seen either Wood Release or Flying Thunder God Technique before.
Having experienced the power of the Flying Thunder God Technique for the first time, Orochimaru finally understood the immense power of space-time and realized why Tokiya was torn to pieces before he even had time to react.
Knowing that Gojo Yoru wanted to hide his space-time bloodline limit and would definitely not use the power of space-time during the survival exercise, Orochimaru was a little careless and didn't notice anything wrong with the kunai.
If Gojo Yoru had pressed the Rasengan down just now, even Orochimaru wouldn't have been able to react.
That kind of sudden, unpredictable appearance, and the almost zero-precursor ninjutsu without hand seals, is simply a nightmare for the enemy.
Orochimaru also knew that Gojo Yoru had an even stronger Dimensional Slash, which was the perfect finishing move to complement the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Anyone who doesn't have prior knowledge of this information is doomed to die if they encounter Gojo Yoru's combination attack.
Gojo Yoru returned to Orochimaru and asked with a smile, "Orochimaru-sensei, how did I do this time? I didn't disappoint you, did I?"
"Not only am I not disappointed, but I have nothing more to teach you in terms of combat," Orochimaru laughed. "From now on, your fighting style and tactics can revolve around the Flying Thunder God Technique. Whether it's the Flying Thunder God Technique combined with the Rasengan, the Flying Thunder God Technique combined with chakra blades, or the Flying Thunder God Technique combined with sealing techniques... it will make it impossible for the enemy to defend against!"
"I still have a lot to learn from you, Orochimaru-sensei," Gojo Yoru said modestly with a smile.
"Of course, I still have a lot to teach you," Orochimaru chuckled. "Although your trump cards and Flying Thunder God Technique are extremely powerful, capable of outmaneuvering anyone who doesn't have information about you in a life-or-death battle, if someone manages to escape, your information will spread throughout the entire ninja world at lightning speed."
"At that time, it won't be so easy for you to achieve the same level of instant kill as the Land of Rain."
"They will also quickly find your weaknesses, restrain you, and once they make a move, they will be fully prepared."
"Your chakra isn't strong enough to break free from powerful genjutsu in an instant. Powerful genjutsu ninjas can use all sorts of incredible methods to trap you in a world of genjutsu without your knowledge. For example, the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan can pull you into a genjutsu world with just a glance, and even make you feel like you've already broken free."
"Furthermore, this clan's eyes can also be used to perform immobilization techniques like the Golden Binding Technique with the Sharingan, making them equally difficult to defend against."
"Like the Phantom Rain Toki you faced before, he can cast illusions using rain and the sound of rain."
"Your attacks must be close to be fatal, but close range often gives your opponent the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow, so you must strengthen your illusionary abilities as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Gojo Yoru immediately asked humbly, "Orochimaru-sensei, what suggestions do you have?"
Kushina Uzumaki, who came to Gojo Yoru's side, also obediently did not disturb the two.
"To strengthen resistance to illusions, one must first understand the principles of illusions."
Orochimaru, accompanied by Gojou Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina, sat down under a tree and began to teach them, slowly explaining, "Genjutsu is a technique activated using Yin Release chakra. Its effect is to manipulate the flow of chakra in the enemy's brain, thereby achieving mental attacks, illusion construction, confusion, hypnosis, and so on..."
"However, regardless of the type of illusion technique, it is necessary to infiltrate the enemy's brain with invisible Yin Release chakra through the five senses."
"Therefore, the most common types of illusions are only five: visual, olfactory, auditory, gustatory, and tactile."
"If someone could shut down their five senses, they would be basically immune to all mainstream illusions, but that's obviously impossible."
"Therefore, there is only one way to counter genjutsu: make the chakra in your body chaotic, so that the genjutsu ninja cannot control the chakra in your brain."
At this point, Orochimaru suddenly changed the subject, asking, "Do you know who is the strongest ninja in the world right now?"
"Uh, isn't the strongest the Hokage?" Kushina Uzumaki asked, bewildered.
Even though she lives overseas, she knows that the Land of Fire and Konoha are the strongest countries and villages in the ninja world. As the leader of the strongest ninja village, the Hokage should be the strongest.
"The Hokage is indeed the strongest, but he is the strongest in ninjutsu," Orochimaru laughed. "Right now, in the entire ninja world, no one can surpass the Hokage in understanding and applying the Five Elements Release techniques."
"But in terms of individual strength, the Hokage is not the strongest."
Orochimaru began to explain to the two: "In this era, there are six beings who stand at the pinnacle of the ninja world. They are the current Five Kage and Hanzo of the Salamander from Amegakure."
"Among them, four are recognized as the strongest."
"They are the Hokage with the strongest Five Elements Release techniques, Hanzo of the Salamander with the strongest strategic deterrence, the Third Tsuchikage with the strongest aerial threat, and the Third Raikage with the strongest individual ability."
Orochimaru said quietly, "The Hokage has mastered the nature transformations of the Five Elements Release Techniques, and can fuse the five nature transformations to form a composite ninjutsu, which is very powerful; Hanzo's summoning beast, the Salamander, has the most terrifying poison ability in the ninja world. Combined with Hanzo's strength, he and his beast can fight an entire country alone; the Third Tsuchikage has mastered the Kekkei Tota: Dust Release, which is formed by the fusion of three nature transformations, and can decompose everything it touches into atomic state; and the Iwagakure's Earth Release: Light-Heavy Rock Technique allows them to fly, making them invincible in aerial combat."
"But in terms of individual ability, only the Third Raikage is considered the strongest. Do you know why?"
Kushina Uzumaki shook her head blankly.
Gojo Yoru understood Orochimaru's meaning and his eyes lit up. "Orochimaru-sensei, you mean... Lightning Release?"
"Not bad." Orochimaru smiled and nodded. "The Third Raikage is very strong. He is known as the man with the strongest offense, defense, and speed. It is said that he can fight the Eight-Tails to a draw. No ninjutsu can break through his defense, and even genjutsu is ineffective against him."
"Such a powerful person, yet he has no bloodline limit, no bloodline elimination, and no need for summoning beasts. He is only skilled in the Lightning Release ninjutsu of Kumogakure."
"You don't need to train your Lightning Release to his level. You just need to master Lightning Release and use Lightning Release chakra to keep the chakra in your body in chaos. This will strengthen your resistance to genjutsu and further increase your speed."
Pointing at Gojou Yoru, Orochimaru said, "So your next stage is to train in Lightning Release: Nature Transformation."
