Chapter 189: True. Summoning Jutsu
Ino quickly walked out of the shop. By then, she could no longer see Itachi and Kisame's figures.
She felt deeply annoyed. What the heck is wrong with them?! Did I provoke you in any way? Coming at me with a genjutsu right off the bat?
Since transmigrating here, she had never felt so stifled.
The other party's condescending superiority truly irritated her.
All her exquisite ninjutsu, summoning jutsu, and sealing jutsu didn't even get a chance to be used before she went down.
What was that supposed to be?
Could the legend of the eyes really allow one to do whatever they wanted?
She now understood the helplessness Orochimaru and Deidara must have felt when facing Itachi. Holding all the high cards, only for the opponent to not even give you a chance, just flipping the table with their Sharingan, huh?
She looked around and quickly spotted Sakura standing blankly in front of the bookstore.
Sakura-chan's eyes were vacant, staring straight ahead.
No doubt, she had also fallen victim to a genjutsu.
Sakura's talent for genjutsu was decent, but against the Sharingan, it was utterly useless. Kurenai might be the best genjutsu user in the Hidden Leaf Village, but she would still fall prey. This was also why Ino hadn't spent much time on genjutsu or used any cheat devices in that area.
The legend of the eyes was just untouchable!
"Sakura? Release!" Ino channeled her chakra into Sakura's body, breaking the genjutsu.
Afterward, she also released the genjutsu on several lovesick girls near the bookstore.
Itachi had only used a standard genjutsu, so it wasn't difficult to undo. However, his attitude of wanting to cleanse all the girls who had come into contact with his younger brother was truly insane, seriously ill.
"Ino, that just now was..." Sakura woke up, looking a little dazed, stammering without managing to form a complete sentence.
Ino didn't mention that she had also been caught in the genjutsu. She snorted and casually made up a story, "I bet you looked into that man's eyes, right? Don't look next time. It's best if you wear the straw hat I gave you and look at his chin with your peripheral vision. That way, you can resist genjutsu."
Wearing a straw hat could resist genjutsu? Sakura stood there, foolishly pondering.
Ino searched the marketplace for any trace of Itachi and Kisame.
Whether it was to vent her frustration or to maintain her genius persona, she had to track them down.
The god of the Otsutsuki clan on a multi-universal level was indeed someone she couldn't mess with, but a "mere" Uchiha Itachi? Was she supposed to be afraid? What kind of ninja would she be then?
These days, the principle was to take revenge without delay.
She couldn't find them using her sensory abilities. They probably had some kind of sensory-blocking ability. No matter!
"Single Wheel. Bloom!"
The instant she was caught in the genjutsu, there was a brief contact between their chakras. Although the contact time was very short, it did happen. Ino's chakra would, at the moment of contact, act like pollen, sticking a tiny bit onto Itachi, almost imperceptible. Now, that tiny speck of pollen would guide her way.
"Hmph, found you... You are still just a person, not a god."
Ino didn't alert Uchiha Itachi.
She crossed the Naka River and quickly arrived at the old Uchiha clan compound. After the night of the massacre, the village had taken it over under the guise of temporary custody. Now, Jiraiya was trying to return the old compound to Uchiha Sasuke and was coordinating with various forces. The compound was currently empty.
Ino, in order to fool Kabuto, had wildly modified the Impure World Reincarnation, Reaper Death Seal, Soul Transformation Technique, and Mind Body Transmission Technique by combining them with her own ninjutsu knowledge. This was also a learning process, and she had achieved some results.
Her Soul Transformation Technique had actually reached the entry level. However, because Tsunade didn't want to lose any more important people, and Ino herself was quite cautious, unwilling to take risks unless she was 100% certain of success, the final step of the soul transformation had been delayed. In fact, she had completed ninety-nine percent of the technique, just lacking that final push.
She could use soul transformation as a guide, employ the techniques of Impure World Reincarnation to communicate with the deceased, and then have the souls of the deceased reside in some kind of real sealing object, returning them to the material world.
Previously, the summoning jutsu in the ninja world were all "Summoning Jutsu. Toad" and "Summoning Jutsu. Giant Snake." Now, her new technique could be named "Summoning Jutsu. Soul"!
Following the method of Impure World Reincarnation, she drew a summoning formula on the ground. This formula was still something she had obtained from Kabuto. Kabuto had seen Orochimaru draw it, but there were no subsequent steps. Ino didn't care; she was only borrowing the first step.
As she gathered her Yin Release chakra and began searching for deceased souls, gusts of cold wind swept through the old Uchiha compound. The trees rustled, and the wind seemed to carry some incomprehensible whispers.
Many people had died here. As the summoning jutsu was continuously cast, souls appeared one after another.
Some souls had long lost their self-awareness and become wandering spirits. Some souls had fulfilled their wishes and refused the summons. She performed the summoning seven times in a row and finally found her target.
"Hmph, Uchiha Itachi, looking down on me? Let me show you my power!" She formed the Ox hand seal, remotely triggering the flower-attribute chakra on Itachi's body.
Wearing a straw hat and walking along the streets of the Hidden Leaf Village, Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame were completely unhurried and leisurely strolled along.
As they walked, Itachi suddenly stopped.
He looked around, feeling that something was off.
"What's wrong? Mr. Itachi, are there pursuers?" Kisame asked nonchalantly.
Itachi glanced at him, making Kisame feel uneasy.
"Is there something wrong with me?" he asked.
In Itachi's eyes, Kisame's body was still the same, but his shark-like head had changed. It had become a beautiful young woman with long black hair and a beauty mark under her eye.
The girl's smile was full of sunshine, "Itachi, would you like to have some tri-colored dango with me?"
Was someone using genjutsu on him? His Sharingan spun twice, but he didn't detect any signs of genjutsu.
If it wasn't genjutsu, then what was it? How could a dead person suddenly appear before him?
"Itachi, I wish you could awaken your Sharingan soon."
"Itachi, save me! Hurry and save me!"
Kisame was utterly confused by his gaze. Mr. Itachi's eyes looked strange when he looked at me. What should I do? He wouldn't have any ulterior motives towards me, would he?
In Itachi's vision, the beautiful girl's eyes suddenly turned into two bloody holes, "Itachi-kun, it really hurts, it hurts so much, save me... please!"
Itachi, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, his voice cold, "I don't know how you appeared, but... Izumi, you are already dead. Don't appear before me again."
As if hearing his heartfelt words, the phantom of Uchiha Izumi turned into a sigh and vanished. In Itachi's eyes, Kisame's shark head returned.
"What exactly happened? Were you caught in a genjutsu? Does a ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village have such ability?" Kisame, a veteran of many battles, roughly understood the situation at this point.
Itachi clearly didn't want to elaborate, "It's nothing, my eyes just played a trick on me."
On the other side, seeing the disappointed Uchiha Izumi return, Ino poured herself a cup of tea.
She asked, "How was it? Did you fulfill your wish?"
