The illusion called Xishuixiang did not fail to attract anyone's attention.
Everyone can see the shortcomings of the technique, such as slow activation, loud noise, and poor concealment. However, few people notice the powerful effect of this technique.
Not only did Haruno Sakura's punches fail to wake Rock Lee, but Rock Lee also showed no signs of waking up in the following period of time. As a last resort, the medical team could only seek help from Shizune, or even Tsunade. The illusion that had been lifted long ago still had such a powerful effect, it would be bad if it caused some sequelae.
The results of Tsunade's examination were also surprising. There was nothing wrong with Rock Lee. No matter how you looked at it, he was just sleeping. However, there was one unusual thing. After the chakra fluctuations in his body gradually subsided, Rock Lee woke up naturally. For a period of time, he even had a state of confusion between illusion and reality. It was not until he rested for most of the day that he gradually returned to normal.
This attracted Tsunade's attention. Others just regarded Rock Lee's embarrassing incident as a joke, but Tsunade didn't think so.
The villagers of Konoha basically knew that Rock Lee had no talent for ninjutsu or illusion. But in fact, this was just the result of the alienation of the chakra characteristics. Chakra that was difficult to release and control meant that the chakra in Rock Lee's body was less susceptible to the disturbance of illusion. In other words, Rock Lee's natural resistance to illusion was actually quite good. Illusions of a lower level and less power actually had little effect on Rock Lee.
In addition, the principle of being too strong is not only reflected in physical skills. It is also true for the mind. If Rock Lee is really hit by an illusion, the difficulty of breaking it will increase accordingly, and the damage to his mind will be greater. An illusion that is too strong can easily cause permanent mental damage to Rock Lee, which is what Tsunade is most worried about.
Fortunately, the Sleeping Scene was a very mild illusion. Although it was quite powerful, it only made Locke Lee look bad, and did not cause any serious consequences. Rather, this illusion was designed to avoid permanent mental damage, which was completely different from the original intention of other powerful illusions.
Tsunade, who was suspicious, sought out Kurenai Yuhi, who was the most proficient in illusion in the village besides Mizuki, and tried to find a type of illusion with similar characteristics. But unfortunately, after two or three days of hard work, Kurenai Yuhi found nothing.
Tsunade was somewhat dissatisfied with this result.
"Is it possible that you can't find even one similar case?"
Kurenai Yuhi answered with some embarrassment: "There are many things that illusions can do. There are illusions that can completely control other people, creatures, and even tailed beasts. The Sharingan is the best among them. But after the illusion is lifted, it usually only causes short-term cognitive impairment or mental shock. After all, illusions are just a means of deceiving using chakra. After the illusion is lifted, it will naturally cause mental fatigue or abnormality, or leave some sequelae. But illusions like the Sleeping Town don't seem to be meant to hurt people at all. So far, there have been no similar cases."
"If this is the case, then the original intention of developing this technique is extremely suspicious. The more harmless a technique seems, the more attention we need to pay..."
Tsunade paused and continued, "When Mizuki was still a Chunin, his profile stated that he was proficient in illusions, but in reality, Mizuki rarely used illusions, and when he did, it was only in conjunction with the barrier. Now that he has quietly developed a suspiciously powerful illusion, it makes us think too much!"
"Wouldn't it be clear if we just call Shuimu over and ask him?"
Tsunade shook her head and said, "Before a jonin's original ninjutsu shows great harm, it is not appropriate for the village to ask about the secrets."
The traditions of the ninja world cannot be easily broken, otherwise the ninjas' trust in the ninja village will be exhausted, and ninjas or families possessing secret techniques will sooner or later come into conflict with the village.
"The data will be sealed for now. Hong, you continue to follow up on this matter and see what the consequences are if Sakura or Mizuki use this technique. Don't fall behind in finding the data either!"
"Understood." Xihi Hong nodded in agreement. It just so happened that she had some free time, and since she was an expert in illusion, it would be most appropriate for her to handle this matter.
…
In the Hyuga family mansion, Hyuga Hiashi quietly watched Hyuga Hinata and Hyuga Neji practicing not far away. As the best performers in the Chunin Exam, the Hyuga family took up two places, which was considered to be a sign of the power of the largest family in Konoha. However, the family was not concerned about these things at the moment, but Tsunade's efforts to rebuild the security department. There was a big disagreement in the family. Some people thought they should get involved, while others thought they should ignore it.
The Hyuga family has always been aloof from the outside world, and mostly ignored the changes in Konoha Village. The village rarely intervened in the Hyuga family. However, after the Uchiha clan was exterminated, the Hyuga clan, who took over the position of the first ninja clan, naturally felt the pressure of the Uchiha clan in the past. Fortunately, the Hyuga family has always been low-key and rarely interacted with outsiders, so there are not many troubles. However, recently, the clan has also expressed the opinion that they should actively participate in village affairs, and it has also received support from many people.
"The branch family has reached a consensus and decided to support the family to participate in the reconstruction of the security department!"
The old voice reported to Hiashi Hinata the decision to separate the family.
"That's great. Now that we have reached an agreement, let's execute it as soon as possible. I'm sure you have already found a candidate you like."
"Hyuga Ko, Hyuga Karamon, and Hyuga Iroha will all serve as members of the family assigned to the security department to maintain contact with the village."
Hinata Hiashi nodded and said approvingly, "As the head of the clan, I am very pleased that the branch family can be so knowledgeable and aware. But Hinata Ko has always been diligent, and the main family still has a lot to rely on him for. Hinata and Hanabi also need him to continue to protect them. I am afraid it is not appropriate to change him temporarily."
"In that case, cross it off the list and let Karamon and Iroha go."
"Two people are enough." Hinata Hiashi said with great satisfaction: "Then I will go and negotiate with the village to at least get the position of captain."
"Thank you for your hard work, Patriarch!"
After saying this, he seemed to have something to hide. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "I wonder if there has been any progress in the cooperation between the clan leader and Shuimu? Especially the bird in the cage..."
For such a major event that concerns the entire family, it is inevitable that they will be nervous.
