Chapter 65

Title: Using Illusion for training the Anbu.​​

"The roots were established not long ago, and we have implemented harsh training and assessment, and the loss rate for each assessment is very heavy."

Danzo slowly said, "In order to reduce some losses, I need your Genjutsu ."

"My five senses manipulation?"

"Yes, let them experience life and death repeatedly, that way, they can experience life and death battle while also without causing them any harm."

Danzo nodded.

"No problem, it's very simple."

Akabane agreed, but in his heart, he gradually became confused-how did Danzo know?

Death Mirage Jutsu integrates five senses control, which is itself a failure when his clan member tried to combine it.

There are very few people in the Kurama clan who know it, let alone outsiders, and people who know that Akabane has studied and practiced it can be counted on one's fingers.

As soon as he thought about it, a person's name came to his mind.

"Orochimaru and Danzo are working together?"

Akabane thought for a while and quickly rejected it.

At this time, Orochimaru has no capital to cooperate with Danzo at all. Perhaps it is just Danzo's investment and small actions.

Then a question is here.

Did Danzo reveal this "clue" intentionally or unintentionally?

This is the reason why he doesn't like being with Danzo. This old fox is full of dangerous thoughts and he has to think about everything with him for a long time.

Akabane was troubled for a while and simply didn't bother to think about it.

I don't need to worry too much about Orochimaru for the time being, now the first thing to do is to complete Danzo's proposal.

He followed Danzo into this simple courtyard, and then heard the sound of interlacing ironwork.

Kunai, shuriken's clash, and also ninja's voice.

Although he didn't see yet what they are using, he just knew what weapon it was all at once from just hearing it.

"Do you need a mask?"

Danzo indifferently asked.

"Five senses, does Konoha have a second one?"

Akabane shook his head in denial.

What's the use of wearing a mask If all the ninja in the Konoha knew that only he can use the Jutsu in his teens.

"Then everyone, gather."

Danzo walked in with his sword and followed by Akabane beside him.

The audience was silent for an instant, and everyone gathered in front of him in the blink of an eye.

This is the root!

Akabane glanced away. Although he could not tell from the appearance, he could still tell the origin of these people from the subtle differences in their clothes.

Two from Aburame Clan members, one from Hyuga Clan, and a big figure should be from Akimichi Clan.

There are still more from different clan but due to the darkness of the place he can't see the others that were on the back,

"You should all know him, and he was here to cast Genjutsu on all of you."

Danzo said, then the corner of his mouth raised, and smiled coldly, "Kurama clans Genjutsu, you should understand what it entails, you will experience the most fearful death in your heart. So whoever can't bear with it, can withdraw now!."

The audience is silent and no one comes forward.

Akabane pursed his mouth slightly. He didn't know how Danzo brain-washed them. Maybe he used the rhetoric of "root", but he was very clear about one thing-no harm in the illusion did not mean that they could not be killed.

"Well, since no one wants to quit, please give up resistance."

He continued.

Akabane stood there, adjusted his state, and mobilized the chakra within his body.

When everyone sat down, he made a seal with both hands, and he completed the seal in the blink of an eye——

"Death Mirage Jutsu!"

After a Chakra fluctuation, everyone stopped moving.

"Teacher, Death Mirage Jutsu can be fatal if used multiple times."

Akabane reminded.

Death Mirage Jutsu can see the most fearful things in people's hearts. For those who are not determined to face their fears, thousands of times are very likely to die in their spirits, which means they will become vegetative people.

"I know, but this is the best way to reduce losses."

Danzo was silent for a moment, then said softly, "The root is never bright in the first place."

"Well, What the Teacher said is right, and it makes sense."

Akabane casually said.

He doesn't agree with Danzo's philosophy, but he also doesn't like Sarutobi Hiruzen's belief. Moreover, here is the root, Danzo's territory so he can only nod his head lightly …

"Oh, what a little Fox ..."

Danzo sneered, but he was secretly happy.

The Third Hokage wanted to take the two most genius students in this generation and bring the two into the palm of his hand. Which is also what Danzo wanted for Akabane and Orochimaru, but what they didn't realize was that neither of them could accept their Philosophy.

In the end, it was nothing but just a futile attempt.

As time passed, the Genjutsu gradually reached its most terrifying stage, and screams resounded throughout the valley.

One second, two seconds, everyone woke up one after another, all covered in a cold sweat.

"Take a break."

Danzo indifferently said.

"Lord, we can still…"

"My order is to rest!"

Danzo repeated it severely.

"Yes."

"Thank you, my Lord."

The entire group sat, panting, catching their breath.

Akabane feels a little distress, it seems Danzo is really knowledgeable about how to obtain his subordinates' trust while torturing them. What a scary old man.

If he keeps using Genjutsu in them, they will only become numb to it and collapse after repeated use.

Now it seems to let them rest

Although it looks like he let them rest for now, but because of the real pain caused by the manipulation of their five senses, their memories and fears are becoming deeper during their rest period, and these fears will deepen the effect of the next operation…

For example, everyone now feels that the pain of their death is real now that they are resting.

And they looked in Akabane's direction with a little fear in their eyes.

It's miserable!

After a sigh of emotion, he cleared up his mood and wondered how to use the technique to maximize the effect.

Well, after using Genjutsu once, he can think of a plan to maximize it.

Akabane thought for a while and made a decision.

So a few minutes later, he used Genjutsu a second time, and after a few minutes, everyone woke up…

"Take a rest."

Danzo spits out Two words.

Akabane also sat down, he looked at the Anbu members that were perspiring from their experience and said: "Many of you are elites who have been to the battlefield and killed people. Death itself is not fearful. I hope everyone understands what Root means. ."

A bunch of people looked over, some who listened carefully, some questioned and secretly mocked.

"Konoha is a big tree, what will happen to the big tree without roots?"

"You can imagine that you are the roots, and your family is the big tree or the fruit of the tree, The perching bird when the roots no longer exist, Konoha will be destroyed, what kind of scene will it be…"

Akabane stops his word, and his hands suddenly make another hand seal for Death Mirage Jutsu!

All of them who were listening to Akabane words suddenly imagined what he was saying that made all of them enter the illusion with those imaginations in their mind.

Before they may have seen their own death in battle, from Mision Failure and also suicide after getting caught by the enemies, or all the fears they have in their hearts, but this time… the moment they enter their the illusion, what they see was not their death, instead it's the death of their family, love one, and everyone around them that they treasure.

"no, no!"

"I will kill you, I kill you…"

Terrified, angry, sad, many voices and emotions radiate from their words.

Danzo, who was silent while watching from the sidelines, suddenly laughed out loud.

After a long time, he looked at Akabane and said, "Are you interested in joining the roots?"

What he said about joining, of course, is not to become an ordinary member, but to imply the position of the successor.

However…

"Teacher, I am not suitable for the position, you should find another brilliant one."

Akabane waved his hands again and again.

Such words are enough to fool others, but you can't carry it in. Is it a place where people stay?

Danzo was not surprised, but still regretful.

Afterward, he smiled blankly and said, "It doesn't matter, who knows the future."

"…"

Akabane glanced at him, he was a little surprised.

Seeing that he was moved, Akabane couldn't help but think could it be that his remarks fooled Danzo?

No way!

As he was thinking about what Danzo said, his eyes inspected the group randomly only to notice that something was wrong with one of them. Looking at the complexion of the anbu made him shout: "Not good! Teacher, rouse the leftmost person in the second row!."

Danzo immediately moved and suddenly appeared next to Anbu, he patted the head and used the technique of releasing Genjutsu to instantly relieve him from Illusory Domain.

However, after he woke up, he kept yelling, and his shadow expanded wildly, trying to control everything around him.

"bang!"

After a hand knife, Danzo picks the unconscious body.

"He just fell into the depths of the Illusions, so dangerous…"

Akabane took a deep breath, a little frightened.

"Smart people always think more."

Danzo didn't think too much about it, but still, he was a little disappointed and said

"Remove the Genjutsu and let them rest."

"Yes."

Akabane instantly canceled the Genjutsu he cast on all of them.

There was no accident like from earlier. Everyone had come out of the Illusions successfully, but their emotions were a little bit wrong.

However, most of them are no longer crazy after seeing Danzo and Akabane, only a few of them almost went berserk like the one from the Nara Family.

"The training is over today, everyone rests."
