Chapter 35 : Illusion Nemesis

...

Watanabe was surprised to see that everyone around him seemed to be carrying a mountain on their backs, with slow steps and shaky bodies.

'Is Uchiha Chiri's illusion that strong?'

He didn't feel any discomfort, and his mind became clear.

[Hypnotised by illusion: Willpower +9, Spirit +9, Clarity +8...]

After a little contemplation, Watanabe decided to wait and see what happened for the time being. The reversal of cause and effect was his biggest secret, and no one could see through it. So he also imitated making the seal with his hands and pretended to take a step with difficulty.

*Clunk*

*Clunk*

Just after taking two steps, many people around him suddenly fell to the ground, they completely lost their consciousness.

There were also some candidates who were standing but could no longer walk and just fell asleep while standing there.

'This illusion is a bit scary.'

Watanabe was secretly shocked when he saw Jiraiya falling asleep after taking five steps.

'Uchiha Chiri is worthy of being the most famous elite jonin in Konoha. Her illusions may even threaten the Hokage. If I didn't have the ability to reverse cause and effect, otherwise I might not be able to hold out against her Sharingan.'

'Orochimaru is still walking, but judging by his condition, he's almost reached his limit.'

At this time, there were only two people walking in front of Watanabe, one was Orochimaru, and the other was Hyuga Zero from the next class. The little girl looked thin and weak, but unexpectedly she was able to hold on.

…

"Hyuga clan leader, your daughter is probably the one who can resist Chiri's genjutsu the longest among all the candidates this year."

On the judges' panel, the Nara clan leader said to Hyuga Tenfu with a smile.

The Hatake clan leader nodded in agreement: "It's not easy to perform like this at this age."

"The results haven't come out yet, it's too early to make any conclusions now." Hyuga Tenfu responded, his two byakugan eyes staring straight at Hyuga Zero who was running side by side with Orochimaru in the distance.

Hyuga Zero is just his youngest daughter, and has been designated as a branch family and branded as a caged bird. The true heir to the Hyuga clan is his eldest son, Hyuga Mirai.

It's a pity that Hyuga Mirai didn't catch up with the opportunity when Sarutobi Hiruzen accepted his apprentice. Many opportunities are hard to come by.

Of course Hyuga Tenfu wanted to compete for the position of Hokage. It was his lifelong regret that he had never competed with Sarutobi Hiruzen. He now only hoped that one of his descendants could become Hokage once.

Therefore, Hyuga Tenfu had talked to his daughter last night and told her frankly that if she could defeat all her opponents and become Hiruzen's disciple, he would remove the caged bird curse for her and reconsider her choice of family member.

If she had the status of a disciple of the Hokage and the full support of the Hyuga clan, even if the opponent was Tsunade, Hyuga Zero would be able to compete with her for the position of the Fourth Hokage.

"I believe you won't let me down. If you can't even defeat these people of your age, it's even more impossible to defeat Tsunade."

Hyuga Tenfu said silently, with great expectations for his daughter.

At this moment, Orochimaru and Hyuga Zero, who had been walking side by side, suddenly stopped, their eyelids gradually closed, and they fell into a coma at the same time.

"Is it a draw?"

Hyuga Tianfu breathed a sigh of relief. Even if it was a draw, at least his daughter was not inferior to others and was still in the first tier of candidates for Sarutobi Hiruzen to be accepted as a disciple.

The Nara clan leader smiled and said, "It seems that the illusion test has come to an end..."

"not at all."

Danzo, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "There are still students who haven't fallen."

"Anyone else?"

Everyone was stunned, and then followed Danzo's gaze, and sure enough, they saw a young man walking slowly behind Orochimaru and Hyuga Zero.

"It's him!"

Everyone looked strange.

They were all present on the night of Tsunade's birthday and were deeply impressed by Watanabe. Some people even investigated Watanabe afterwards and found out that he and Tsunade were close friends in school, and he was most likely the future son-in-law of the Senju clan.

'How far can he go?'

Seeing Watanabe getting closer and closer to his daughter, Hyuga Tenfu was secretly nervous and He didn't want Zero to lose to him.

But he couldn't change the result. When Watanabe passed the two unconscious people, Hyuga Tenfu let out a long sigh in his heart.

…

'It's seven steps.'

Watanabe always keeps his steps in mind. Gekko Hayabusa had said before that he would get ten points for every step he took, and he has now got seventy points.

He didn't get full marks in the written test, so he could only make up for it in other areas. Illusion happened to be his strong point, so when would he improve his scores if not now?

Thinking of this, Watanabe took the eighth step with ease, and was only inches away from the 'Black stocking women' that Jiraiya coveted.

'His talent for illusion is far beyond that of ordinary people.'

Uchiha Chiri observed Watanabe calmly, judging him in his heart.

'It's a pity that he is not from the Uchiha clan...'

'Now, it's enough for you, kid.'

Before the test, Uchiha Chiri had made up her mind that she would not let anyone pass her illusion test with full marks. There was no reason for it. The Uchiha people have always been arrogant.

The next second, Uchiha Chiri increased the output of her pupil power, and her two Sharingans glowed red.

[Hypnotised by illusion: Willpower +17...]

Watanabe formed seals with his hands and, still maintaining a difficult look, took the ninth step.

Uchiha Chiri was stunned.

'Why can he still walk?'

'Shouldn't he stop here?'

Without hesitation, Uchiha Chiri immediately activated the illusion to the maximum extent, and the magatama in her eyes spun like a whirlpool.

All the people who came into contact with Uchiha Chiri's gaze, including the audience in the distant seats, were all attacked by a strong sense of sleepiness at this moment, and their brains were groggy.

[Hypnotised by illusion: Willpower +35...]

'Huh?'

Watanabe noticed that the effect of the illusion was getting stronger, and subconsciously looked up, moving his gaze from the black stockings to Uchiha Chiri's face. Seeing the six rotating magatama, he inexplicably felt that she was sending him electric shocks.

'You dare to look me in the eye?.'

Uchiha Chiri thought to herself.

Face to face at such a close distance, no matter how high the opponent's talent for illusion is, he will definitely lose consciousness...

*Clank*

The sound of peaceful footsteps.

Watanabe took the last step and passed by Uchiha Chiri.

Uchiha Chiri's cold and beautiful face was immediately stunned, and all her mental activities disappeared!

'Come over?'

'He actually came over? ?'

'I had already performed the illusion to maximum extent '

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Chiri."

Watanabe bowed slightly and thanked her politely.

"Full marks!"

Someone in the audience reacted and exclaimed.

"That boy walked right behind Chiri and walked more than anyone else. He must have gotten full marks!"

"It's amazing that he can pass Chiri's test perfectly."

"Could it be that Chiri went easy on him?"

"Nonsense, how could Chiri let him off? We in Konoha are full of talented people!"
