Chapter 235: Ashura Chakra Seems to Be Able to Affect the Mind

Rin saw Obito stunned and boldly said, "Obito, you've already done more than enough. Maybe I don't fully agree with your methods, but you are still the most important person to me. I'm willing to change for you."

After saying this, even her face turned a little red.

Obito, seeing this, did not try to persuade her, because he knew it was something that couldn't be persuaded.

He just said seriously, "Don't worry, Rin. I said I would make this world better, and it won't get worse. The shinobi world will definitely have a bright future in the future."

At this point, he suddenly realized a problem.

Rin is different from Naruto or Hashirama.

Rin is a normal person, influenced by the important people around her, and would try to compromise.

But Hashirama and Naruto wouldn't.

People always say the Uchiha are the paranoid ones, but in fact, in friendship, whether it was Madara or Sasuke, both gave up something for Hashirama and Naruto.

On the contrary, although Hashirama and Naruto seemed gentle, they had a kind of deeply rooted, absolutely uncompromising obsession in their bones.

Whether it was Hashirama killing Madara with his own hands to protect the village, or Naruto disregarding Sasuke's immense hatred and insisting on dragging Sasuke back even if it killed him. Both seemed to have locked into one dead-end, something even nine oxen couldn't drag them away from.

This is actually somewhat abnormal, especially when compared to Rin, it seems even more abnormal.

'So… is this because they are reincarnations of Ashura?'

Obito suddenly felt a chill in his heart. In his memory, Nagato's suffering was no less than his, so he shouldn't be so easily persuaded by Naruto.

But in reality, after Nagato was defeated by Naruto in battle, in just a few words, he was persuaded by Naruto. The contrast before and after was too great, as if his personality had completely changed.

He was the same. After clashing with Naruto, the soft and weak parts deep in his heart would always be touched, causing his will to become weaker and weaker.

He became weak and was defeated, and after defeat, he became even weaker, his entire self wavering.

Thinking back now, his state at the time wasn't right either. Although becoming Hokage was his strongest dream as a child, honestly asking himself, after growing up, did he still have such deep obsession with that dream?

At least now, he didn't feel it was that deep. So back then, the intense thought of becoming Hokage that surfaced in his heart, where did it come from?

Even he was surprised, and couldn't help but ask himself in his heart, 'Did I actually… regret it?'

This isn't normal, definitely not normal.

So, just like Nagato, was it because… he was affected by Ashura's chakra?

If that's really the case, then Ashura's chakra is truly a terrifying thing, just like Shisui's Kotoamatsukami.

'It seems that in the future, I will have to be on guard a bit...'

At this moment, Rin saw Obito standing in place, a little worried and asked, "Obito, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly frown?"

Obito came back to his senses and showed an embarrassed expression.

But afterward, his expression involuntarily became serious.

"I just suddenly realized something very terrifying. It's only a guess for now, and even if it's true, it's not necessarily bad, but anyway, it's not something good either."

Rin became a little angry, her little face puffed up as she lightly knocked on Obito, "Obito, so what exactly is it? I really hate when you talk all vague and mysterious, so annoying."

Obito awkwardly coughed, "Rin, do you know why in the ninja world during that time, even though Shisui was young, maybe even younger than Kakashi, he could be called Shunshin no Shisui and have a legendary title?"

Rin confidently smiled, "Obito, you won't stump me with that. It's because Shisui not only mastered the body flicker technique that you've also learned, but he also awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, right?"

Obito nodded, sighed and said, "Rin, the Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan each has their own unique dojutsu. Some, to be honest, feel pretty average. Like Amaterasu, it can't even kill someone quickly."

"But some dojutsu are very bizarre, like my Kamui, and... Shisui's Kotoamatsukami."

Rin tilted her little face, "Kotoamatsukami? What kind of ability is that?"

Obito explained, "You know I used my Mangekyo Sharingan to control the Fourth Mizukage, right? Sharingan genjutsu can be very powerful sometimes."

Rin nodded. Just thinking about a village Kage being controlled by a Sharingan still made her shiver.

Obito continued, "I've said before that some Uchiha Mangekyo are specialized in genjutsu. I can honestly say, compared to them, my genjutsu is not that great."

Rin was stunned, then exclaimed, "You mean even your genjutsu that can control a village Kage isn't the strongest?"

Obito smiled, "Yeah, it's not the strongest. Because most Mangekyo genjutsu, even if they can control people, still leave traces of the genjutsu. In other words, as long as it's genjutsu, it can be detected and dispelled."

"For example, the genjutsu I used on the Fourth Mizukage was discovered and undone by a Byakugan."

Rin's breath tightened, "Could it be that a more advanced Sharingan genjutsu can't be detected or dispelled anymore?"

Obito thought of Itachi's Tsukuyomi and shook his head, "Not exactly. For example, Tsukuyomi is also a kind of genjutsu, and it can be dispelled too. But in terms of intricacy, it's above mine."

Rin let out a breath of relief. Otherwise, it would be too terrifying if it were like she feared.

But the next second, Obito said calmly, "So even though Tsukuyomi is strong, so strong that its ultimate form, Infinite Tsukuyomi, can cover the entire ninja world and immerse everyone in illusion, it still doesn't count as the strongest genjutsu."

"The one truly known as the strongest genjutsu, the only one, was the pair of eyes Shisui once had, Kotoamatsukami."

"That is a genjutsu that can truly and silently, without leaving any trace and without being undone, completely change a person's thoughts."

"Perhaps it can no longer be simply described as genjutsu. It can even break free from the control of the Edo Tensei summoner, its target's will is completely rewritten. So ever since Kotoamatsukami's ability was revealed, it has been recognized as the strongest genjutsu."

Rin gasped, "There really is… such a genjutsu?"

Obito nodded, his gaze deep, "Shisui was a bit too naïve. This ability is terrifying, so terrifying that even if it's in someone completely harmless, it still makes others wary."

"After all, no one wants their thoughts to be silently twisted, and they don't even realize it. Just thinking about it is scary."

Rin involuntarily nodded. Putting herself in someone else's shoes, if she encountered someone with that ability, even if it was Shisui, she would still want to keep her distance.

She couldn't help but ask, "So Obito, were you just thinking about Shisui? But didn't you say before that the Sharingan is the eye that reflects the heart, and the abilities awakened are related to one's desires? Shisui must have had some inner drive to awaken such eyes."

Obito shook his head and sighed, "In fact, even though Shisui's Kotoamatsukami is terrifying, it can still be resisted by eyes of the same level or higher Sharingan dojutsu. And after using it once, the cooldown is very long. Especially the left eye's ability, it takes over ten years to recover. So there's no need to worry too much."

At this point, Obito paused, "But Rin, what if I told you there's an ability with the same effect as Kotoamatsukami, but with no cooldown time, and even after I became someone on the level of the Six Paths, I was still affected by it?"

"Wouldn't you say, that's truly terrifying?"
