Naruto: Dual-Pupil Uchiha-Chapter 241 : Terrifying Illusion!!

"Kiyona. What's wrong with you?"

Kitsuchi looked at the slightly dazed ninja in front of him, quickly stepping forward to pull him over, his expression filled with confusion.

If it were before, they would have greeted him when he arrived.

But now, seeing the ninja's blank expression and no response, even when he called out, it was as if he were frozen.

It looked like he had been trapped in a genjutsu.

"Eh? Is this a genjutsu?" Kitsuchi frowned, slapping the dazed ninja across the face.

Slap~

The crisp sound echoed, and the ninja's vacant expression began to clear.

Blinking, the ninja looked at Kitsuchi. "Kitsuchi, why are you here?"

"Did you forget what you were doing?" Kitsuchi furrowed his brow, his expression serious.

"I... I was guarding the Ninja Pavilion!" Kiyona was shocked for a moment but then complained, "I was guarding it well, and you suddenly appeared and slapped me!"

Even though Kitsuchi was the son of the Tsuchikage, it didn't mean he could slap him like that. After all, Kiyona was also a well-known Jonin of the Land of Earth.

"Guarding the Ninja Pavilion? When I arrived, you were already under a genjutsu!" Kitsuchi said, frustrated. Clearly, Kiyona hadn't realized he had fallen under a genjutsu. He took a deep breath and explained.

But Kiyona immediately denied it. "Impossible! That's absolutely impossible! I was guarding the Ninja Pavilion, and you suddenly appeared!"

It wasn't Kiyona's fault. He really couldn't remember being caught in a genjutsu. In his memory, he had been doing his duty all along!

"You..." Kitsuchi was frustrated but still asked, "So, do you think anyone has entered the Ninja Pavilion?"

"No, I've been watching the Ninja Pavilion the whole time. No one has come or gone!" Kiyona shook his head decisively, speaking with certainty. He hadn't seen anyone appear.

"Then follow me!" Kitsuchi didn't rush to enter the Ninja Pavilion but instead led Kiyona to the second surveillance point.

He wanted to find out if all four surveillance points had already fallen. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

So, they went to another hidden location. This one showed slight signs of a struggle, but one ninja stood there in a daze, looking vacant.

"This..." Kiyona was startled when he saw this.

He stepped forward and tapped the person on the shoulder. "Tel, wake up!"

Kiyona was a bit anxious. He wanted to get information from Tel, but no matter how much he called, there was no response. It was as though Tel couldn't even see him.

Slap!

Finally, Kitsuchi couldn't hold back and slapped Tel across the face.

Immediately, Tel's blank expression slowly cleared up. Looking at Kitsuchi with a hint of anger, he said, "Kitsuchi, why did you slap me? You..."

Tel's temperament was obviously quicker to anger than Kiyona's. After being slapped for no reason, he glared at Kitsuchi. If it weren't for Kitsuchi's status and strength, he probably would've fought back.

"Tel, you really don't remember what happened just now?" Kiyona frowned, urgently asking.

His tone was serious.

"What happened? I've been watching the Ninja Pavilion, and then out of nowhere, Kitsuchi showed up and slapped me!" Tel said with some resentment. Even now, Tel still harbored some ill feelings toward Kitsuchi.

Hmm?

It was exactly the same—what he said was exactly the same as when he was conscious!

Kiyona was stunned, but he already felt uneasy. He tried to recall what happened before he fell into the genjutsu, but it all seemed vague, blurry. There seemed to be a figure in black, or maybe there wasn't.

Shaking his head, he asked seriously, "Tel, are you sure you can't remember anything? You were caught in a genjutsu. If it weren't for Kitsuchi's slap, you'd still be trapped in the illusion!"

"I was caught in genjutsu? Impossible!" Tel shook his head with certainty. "How could anyone use an illusion on me without a sound? Impossible, impossible!"

Terl was absolutely sure he hadn't been caught in genjutsu.

"Ugh," Kiyona felt a bit speechless. Seeing how stubborn Tel was, he had no way to convince him. He was also curious about who could cast such a powerful genjutsu that could fool them so easily without them noticing.

"If you don't believe it, come with me to the next lookout point!" Kitsuchi said to Tel, then turned to Kiyona.

"You go inform Lord Tsuchikage. Someone has infiltrated our Ninja Pavilion and is stealing our techniques. Make sure to emphasize that their genjutsu is very strong!"

The person who silently subdued all four of them must have planned this in advance.

This was no ordinary trick—it was a carefully plotted scheme.

Kitsuchi had to be cautious. If it weren't for the Tsuchikage's backup plan within the Ninja Pavilion, this would have gone unnoticed and unchallenged.

This person was terrifying!

"Understood," Kiyona nodded. He knew the urgency of the situation. He quickly left to inform the Tsuchikage.

Kitsuchi led the stubborn Terl to the next hidden location. There, they found another who had fallen into genjutsu. After coming to, this person's recovery was exactly the same as Tel's, making Tel finally believe the truth.

They had all been caught in genjutsu!

With that, Kitsuchi woke up all four of the jonin from the genjutsu and then turned his gaze toward the Ninja Pavilion.

From the outside, the Ninja Pavilion was eerily quiet, without a single sign of disturbance.

No signs of an intrusion.

"I'll go in and engage the intruder. You all stay outside and hold them off!" Kitsuchi said, looking at the still silent Ninja Pavilion.

"Remember, that person's genjutsu is strong, so be extra cautious. Stay alert and stall until Lord Tsuchikage arrives!"

After witnessing the power of the genjutsu when waking these four up, Kitsuchi realized just how terrifying it was. If he had a choice, he would avoid facing such a person at all costs.

But now, that person dared to infiltrate the Ninja Pavilion and steal their techniques?

They had already found themselves on opposite sides, and there was no turning back.

Fight!

With that thought in mind, Kitsuchi took a deep breath, his figure flickering as he appeared at the door of the Ninja Pavilion.

Bang~~

In an instant, the door was kicked open.

However, he didn't rush inside. Instead, he took a few steps back, cautiously watching the interior.

But,

It seemed like there was no movement from inside.

Moonlight streamed through the open door, and faintly, a small figure in a black cloak stood opposite, seemingly having been waiting for Kitsuchi to open the door, his movements calm.

Even with the door kicked open, the person on the other side didn't react at all.

"How unfortunate, I really didn't want to clash with you," Genya said, looking at Kitsuchi, a hint of frustration in his voice. "I didn't expect things to take this turn!"

In truth, Genya had noticed Kitsuchi's arrival from the moment he appeared. He knew this confrontation was unavoidable, but he couldn't help feeling helpless.

Kitsuchi stared at Genya, his pupils shrinking. "Who are you? How dare you trespass in the forbidden land of Iwagakure!"
