"Rather than calling it an illusion, it's more like a sealing technique... No, it's definitely an illusion!"

Judging from the way chakra works and its principle of effectiveness, it is somewhat similar to some powerful illusion arrays. It seems not quite accurate to say that it is a sealing technique that is a simplified illusion array.

As the name suggests, the sealing technique is to seal something with some means, and this illusion "Xishuixiang", according to the description, is just a technique to create dreams. It neither retains nor seals. After the technique, everything returns to illusion, just like the sealing technique has played its most important part and then suddenly disappears.

Sakura thought this technique was quite difficult, as it not only incorporated a lot of knowledge about illusion and sealing techniques that she had learned before, but also contained some parts that she couldn't understand.

Although she still doesn't quite understand it, Sakura has already sensed its extraordinaryness...

"This so-called illusion doesn't seem to be complete. It should be part of a very powerful technique, and..."

For the first time, Sakura began to doubt the seemingly unbreakable common sense she had learned from the ninja school.

"The way this technique is activated looks like a sealing technique, but judging by the effect, it is definitely an illusion."

In addition, there are many things that Sakura is very concerned about:

The statement "creating dreams that mix the memories of multiple people" is itself ambiguous.

How many people are “many people”?

The "mixed memories" argument seemed to be related to the spiritual secrets. Connecting the spirits was not an easy task. Could chakra really do this? There seemed to be a similar example. The secrets of the Yamanaka family came into Sakura's mind.

The word "dream" is consistent with illusion, and most illusions are of this kind that seem to be true but are not.

There are many illusions that can be used to "create" a dream, but a dream involving multiple people is extremely rare.

The memories of different people vary greatly, and the dreams they produce are naturally bizarre. The principle of this illusion is to use this bizarre dream formed by different memories to influence the people connected to the dream. Everyone will bear the combined mental pressure of all the people connected to the dream. In other words, the more people are affected by this illusion at the same time, the greater its power.

"In other words, this is a forbidden technique that can be used on multiple people, and theoretically has no upper limit to its power?"

With Sakura's knowledge, it was already very rare for her to think of this. From the existing explanation, "Play Sleeping" is to use the will and spirit of different people to forcibly combine them into an unstable dream, and then use their differences to create conflicts to influence the recipient. The chakra that Master Mizuki has always emphasized is what transmits this influence.

The chakras of different ninjas are not completely universal, but they can generally be used to release some ninjutsu that do not require high attributes. Of course, it also depends on the degree of personal chakra mastery.

There is some plausible evidence for connecting the memories and spirits of different people. Many illusions can transfer one's own memories to others, but can the memories of multiple people create dreams without any basis?

"No wonder it uses a sealing technique to interfere with chakra to activate it. It's really a magical technique, but does it really work?"

Sakura, who didn't know that Mizuki had mastered the soul gathering formation, only knew the simplified version of the sealing technique, the mind concentration technique, and didn't quite understand Mizuki's attainments in the research of spiritual secret techniques.

Sakura had never thought about what kind of qualitative change would happen if the number of people affected by "Xishuixiang" reached a certain level. There is also a more important point, which Sakura would never realize. If all the spirits of the people affected by "Xishuixiang" come from the same person, what will be the consequences? By analogy, if most of the people affected by "Xishuixiang" come from the same source, and there is no conflict or rejection, but they unite to crush the only different kind, what will happen? These are things that Shuimu has never tried!

…

In the Forest of Death, Mizuki and Nara Shikamaru were carefully investigating the breeding conditions of the creatures inside. Not only that, this time, even Tsunade took some time out of her busy schedule to come here in person.

"There are bear footprints!" Shikamaru said as he wrote something on the writing board. "Combined with the snake scales we saw earlier, it is certain that some of the hibernating creatures have begun to wake up."

Shuimu reached out and touched the green leaves on the tender branches, which showed signs of being gnawed by insects.

"It's OK. It's just..." Shuimu stepped on the mottled grass under his feet. "The temperature is getting warmer. Among the first batch of revived creatures, a large number of rodents and hares have eaten too many plants. They must be restricted. More lynxes, civet cats, wolverines and other small carnivores, as well as wild wolves, should be released to limit the uncontrolled destruction of hares."

"Wolf?" Tsunade asked in surprise, "Isn't this kind of creature inappropriate? The others are fine, but wolves are social creatures. A pack of wolves can be a big threat to candidates with weaker abilities."

No matter how powerful a solitary beast is, it is no match for cunning humans. However, it is different for wolves that are proficient in group hunting. There are no wolves in the Death Forest in order to avoid the birth of biological species that may have a great impact on the exam.

"Too many ninja villages are participating in this year's Chunin Exam, so the number of candidates is bound to be far beyond the normal limit. If we don't increase the difficulty of the second round to eliminate more people, it will be difficult to arrange the third round."

"Is that so?" Tsunade seemed to agree with this explanation, "Okay, let's follow this arrangement!"

Nara Shikamaru wrote down the instructions with a pen, then raised his head and asked, "Since the second round is more difficult, we must strengthen monitoring and medical assistance. Monitoring is easy to say, Mr. Mizuki must have considered it carefully, but with such a large demand for medical assistance, can it be kept up in time?"

"This shouldn't be a big problem." Tsunade explained, "The medical team has been expanded twice in the past few months. With Shizune watching over it, there are also many talented people in it. The medical ninjutsu has improved a lot, and the overall strength of the medical team is much stronger than before."

"Then there is no problem."

Ever since Tsunade returned to the village, she has begun to vigorously reorganize the extremely decadent medical ninja team, and has achieved quite a few results in the past few months.

Seeing that Mizuki did not raise any more objections, Tsunade concluded: "In that case, the Chunin Exam can be moved to the next step. The examiners will select and notify the nobles to come and watch the ceremony!"

"Shikamaru, I'm sorry to bother you with so many trivial matters during this period. And Mizuki, be careful when you are on the mission with Takigakure. They also have tailed beasts, and their strength is not weak. Be careful!"

"clear!"
