Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Chapter 6: Crystal Visualization Method! Hand Seal-less Genjutsu! Jūgo Arrives!

[You have observed a large amount of genjutsu and soul knowledge, and you have created the Crystal Visualization Method]

[Crystal Visualization Method: By visualizing crystals, you can enhance your mental power, soul strength, genjutsu resistance, increase genjutsu power, and extend the lifespan of your soul!]

Ishihara put down the genjutsu scroll in his hand and exhaled deeply.

This was his first targeted learning session, and the results were satisfactory, meeting his goals.

Especially the effects of the Crystal Visualization Method, which couldn’t make him more satisfied!

“It even increases soul lifespan. This time, I've hit the jackpot!”

Ishihara felt a bit excited.

Though he had studied a lot of soul-related knowledge, he still barely scratched the surface of understanding the soul.

But now, he vaguely sensed his mental power, soul strength, and soul lifespan!

200 years!

Immediately, he closed his eyes and began to operate the Crystal Visualization Method.

Buzz—

In a phantom dark space, a crystal clear crystal slowly appeared, then began to rotate slowly.

Phew…

After opening his eyes, Ishihara exhaled deeply, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

The difficulty of the Crystal Visualization Method was greater than he imagined. Just completing the basic shape and movement exhausted him.

But precisely because of this, the improvement it brought was greater.

Even after just the first practice, his mental power underwent a qualitative change, massively increasing!

In the following days, Ishihara focused on testing the Crystal Visualization Method.

The Crystal Visualization Method significantly enhances mental power.

However, it is much less effective in terms of soul strength, and the increase in soul lifespan does not compensate for the consumption.

Ishihara pondered for a long time and finally exhaled deeply, gradually calming down.

“I've been too impatient. This is just the beginning; there's no need to rush!”

“Besides, it's not like there hasn't been any gain!”

Feeling the massive increase in the amount of chakra in his body, Ishihara felt a bit more balanced.

He then fell into deep thought.

Now that he had a physical cultivation method and a mental cultivation method, it would be hard to make significant progress in a short time.

So, it's time to learn some protective ninjutsu!

With that thought, Ishihara took out several genjutsu scrolls and began studying them.

Previously, he only studied the principles and knowledge but never tried to perform them.

So, this was actually his first time truly learning ninjutsu.

“Genjutsu: False Surroundings Technique!”

Ishihara formed hand seals and successfully mastered it without any difficulty.

“Genjutsu: Tree Binding Death!”

“Genjutsu: Fox’s Heart Technique!”

“Genjutsu: Mist Servant Technique!”

“Genjutsu: Hell Viewing Technique!”

...

One after another, Ishihara performed the genjutsu with ease, as if it were second nature.

As he mastered more genjutsu, sparks of inspiration began to flicker and collide in his mind.

[You have learned a large number of genjutsu and gained insights from them, creating the secret technique: Genjutsu Space!]

[Genjutsu Space: A seal-less genjutsu that can pull enemies into a space composed of multiple genjutsu, possessing various abilities of different genjutsu!]

A vast amount of information flooded into Ishihara's mind.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Genjutsu Space only requires the use of one's mental power or chakra sensing ability to capture the presence of the enemy's chakra and pull them into the Genjutsu Space.

Compared to the Sharingan's genjutsu, it is undoubtedly more difficult to defend against!

More importantly, as Ishihara's mental power increases, the power of Genjutsu Space will also grow stronger.

With a single thought, the Genjutsu Space was activated!

Buzz—

Ishihara raised an eyebrow; he sensed chakra nearby.

...

Outside the archives.

Orochimaru was leading Jūgo past the area.

Having confirmed that Ishihara had completely resolved the curse seal issue and could conduct curse seal experiments, Orochimaru immediately moved Jūgo from another secret base.

He needed Jūgo for numerous upcoming experiments.

“Jūgo, don't worry. I'll help you with your troubles!”

Seeing the uneasy look on Jūgo's face, Orochimaru raspily reassured him.

Although he hoped Ishihara would create a secret technique for immortality, he still focused on his own Living Corpse Reincarnation technique as a backup plan.

The curse seal was a crucial part of the Living Corpse Reincarnation technique, and Jūgo was the source of the curse seal, so Orochimaru valued him highly.

“Is this really going to work?” Jūgo asked expectantly.

Due to his special constitution, Jūgo would impulsively kill when his emotions were stirred.

This had caused him to unintentionally harm many people, making the kind-hearted Jūgo deeply remorseful.

He had kept himself locked in a cage to prevent harming others until he met Orochimaru, who gave him a glimmer of hope.

“Of course, trust me, Jūgo!” Orochimaru said, stroking Jūgo's head with his slender snake-like eyes narrowed.

Originally, he had some confidence, but with Ishihara's help, he believed they could solve Jūgo's problem together.

Jūgo nodded heavily, feeling a bit happier.

However, just then, Jūgo's vision blurred, and he found himself in an unfamiliar environment.

“What’s going on?!”

He was still dazed, but his body’s defense mechanisms sensed danger and immediately began to react!

Jūgo’s body started to swell, his height increased dramatically, and his skin turned dark brown.

His face contorted into a beastly, ferocious expression, and he roared in anger.

Roar!!!

“What’s happening?” Orochimaru's expression changed slightly.

At that moment, the door of the archives opened.

Ishihara walked out, looking at Jūgo with a somewhat surprised expression.

“So it's him. No wonder there was such violent chakra. But it’s not enough to block my genjutsu!”

“Sleep!”

Understanding the situation, Ishihara increased the power of his genjutsu.

The next moment, Jūgo’s eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, gradually returning to his normal state.

“Genjutsu?!” Orochimaru looked at Ishihara in shock, unable to hide his astonishment.

How could this be?!

At such a close distance, he hadn't even noticed Ishihara casting genjutsu!!!
