Chapter 211 - Chapter 211 Perception and Anti-Perception

There are quite a few of them.

A bit troublesome.

After several quick leaps through the trees, Naori stood on the massive city wall, looking down at the Iwagakure Ninja below.

Behind him was a burning forest fire.

"Over there!"

With a loud shout, the alerted Iwagakure Ninja launched their attack.

Their abdomens bulged, and then a series of stones whistled towards Naori.

Mid-flight, they expanded to the size of watermelons, passing through Naori's body at extreme speed.

Earth Release: Earth Iron Cannon

The Iwagakure Ninja were all startled, looking at the unharmed Naori.

The attack had no effect!

What kind of Ninjutsu is that?

"He's not there!" a sensory Shinobi from Iwagakure shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone realized, and while guarding against their surroundings, they inadvertently protected the sensory Shinobi.

Naori looked at the sensory Shinobi.

He had murderous intent.

But the opponent was well protected.

Counting the types of perception, there are the following categories.

The first is contact-based perception.

This type is very difficult to conceal; a typical example is a sensory Barrier, within which nothing can be hidden.

The spider man encountered previously also had a similar type of perception.

Miki's insects also have similar abilities, but they are not considered contact-based perception.

Her perception type is extremely complex, making it very difficult to hide in front of her.

That is to say, once caught by contact-based perception, Naori's genjutsu loses its effect.

The second is sensory perception.

Naori has encountered this type the most; a typical example is visual perception, with the Sharingan and Byakugan falling into this category.

Most Shinobi can only fight using visual perception; losing the ability of visual perception is like a beast having its teeth pulled out.

And Chiri's genjutsu projection ability is specifically aimed at this type of perception.

Besides visual perception, there are also olfactory perception and auditory perception.

These two are also weak points for Naori's genjutsu, but they can be supplemented by Sharingan genjutsu to compensate for these weaknesses.

The third is the direct perception of the fifth sense.

Naori has only witnessed similar abilities in two people, and they are extremely troublesome.

One is malice perception, which is Mito's ability.

Any attack intent during battle would be detected by Mito, who would then dodge in advance and pinpoint the location; the perception range is enormous.

The second is danger perception, which Naori witnessed in Hitomi.

This ability is not as keen as the former, and its perception range is smaller, only being detected just before an attack lands.

But it is enough to deal with his projection genjutsu.

It's less like perception and more like a beast's conditioned reflex.

Initially, Hitomi did not possess this ability.

It just suddenly appeared one day, catching Naori off guard and causing him to suffer a great loss.

He was kicked over ten meters away by Hitomi.

Miki even joked that Hitomi had been beaten too much and started evolving under environmental pressure.

In other words, Naori indirectly caused the birth of this ability, which was specifically against his genjutsu.

The fourth is biological perception.

This type of perception is carried out by utilizing the sensory abilities of organisms.

Its composition is extremely complex and varied.

Miki's ability falls into this category.

Similarly, there are Captain White Fang's dogs, as well as the Inuzuka Clan.

Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade all belong to this category.

They use the powers of snakes, frogs, and Slugs, respectively.

During previous training, Naori noticed this through observation.

Orochimaru can rely on snakes to track enemies by detecting heat sources and scents.

Jiraiya can use sound for positioning, specifically through the two summoned toads on his shoulders; these two toads possess the ability to perceive danger and can warn Jiraiya.

Jiraiya himself has the ability to set up sensory Barriers.

Tsunade's ability is the most complex; as a colleague at the Hospital for four years and a childhood friend who grew up together, and having studied under Mito, the two had a lot of contact, often fighting and playing together, so they were very familiar with each other's methods.

After Naori beat Tsunade up when they were children, Tsunade cried and begged Mito to develop an ability.

This refers to Tsunade's appearance as Naori imagined it at the time.

Namely, a detection Barrier with two modes: one is a radius of about a hundred meters for comprehensive detection, and the other is a wide-area scan for Chakra sources.

It is engraved on the body with a Fuinjutsu, activated without hand signs, and consumes an extreme amount of Chakra.

The Village's Barrier relies on an entire Barrier squad to maintain its operation.

One of their daily tasks is to take turns recharging the Barrier, which is one of the most arduous and exhausting jobs.

They feel drained every day.

Naori could do something similar but couldn't afford it; his own Ninjutsu already consumes a lot of Chakra, and adding another would be unbearable.

He could only rely on his naturally convenient and easy-to-use Sharingan for enemy detection.

But Naori knew the weaknesses of the Sharingan all too well, so fighting his clan members was no different from fighting his younger brother.

Even Mirror's Mangekyo.

Relying solely on the eyes is too easy to counter.

Naori could always step on their most uncomfortable spots.

Hey, you can't see me.

Although Naori still didn't know how Mirror perceived him, it wasn't a big problem.

As for the covering Barrier, once the specific range was determined, Naori would never foolishly step into it.

Regarding the wide-area Chakra scan, Naori could counter it with a Fuinjutsu.

That is, by engraving a Fuinjutsu on his body to seal his own Chakra, completely preventing Chakra leakage, thus making him as ignored as air in a scan.

Therefore, Tsunade, not wanting to be beaten, was forced to conduct in-depth development with the Slug Sage.

One is the super troublesome sense of smell.

Scent can be dealt with, using medicinal powders to mask it.

Or by preparing potions to specifically disrupt sensitive olfaction.

Naori always keeps such medicines on hand.

Pheromones are different; Slugs themselves can perform simple applications of pheromones.

It's the same ability as Miki's.

After Tsunade's tireless nagging of the Slug Sage, the Slug Sage began developing related applications, and through trial and error, was already able to distinguish the effects and conveyed information of a large number of pheromones in the air.

Therefore, Tsunade often whispered incomprehensible things to Miki, which annoyed Naori a bit.

And the most troublesome is the Ninjutsu jointly activated by Tsunade and the Slug Sage: the super wide-area slime acid mist.

It's both offensive and defensive; the acid will damage the respiratory tract and other internal organs, while the slime will leave traces of the target's pheromones, thereby forming their movement trajectory, leaving them nowhere to hide.

And the contaminated slime will mark the target; the slime carries the Slug's information, so even if they run out of the Ninjutsu's range, it's useless.

This Ninjutsu is a tricky perception Ninjutsu of the covering and contact type.

Even without relying on the Nine-Tailed, Naori felt that Tsunade was very strong.

The moment the opponent spoke, Naori immediately activated the seal on his body, blocking his own Chakra leakage.

That is, the aura of life and spirit.

At this moment, Naori was no different from a dead person.

The most common and widespread perception ability in the Ninja World is Chakra perception, which targets Chakra.

Naori had mastered a countermeasure for this type when he was eight years old, during his playtime with Tsunade.

"The Chakra has disappeared!!!" the sensory Shinobi shouted.

Indeed!

Ordinary Chakra perception.

But then Naori's expression became serious.

The sensory Shinobi formed hand signs, then activated his sensory Ninjutsu.

It's not a Barrier.

Earth Release: Earth Resonance

The sensory Shinobi crouched down, placing his hands on the ground.

A scanning wave rapidly spread underground, centered on him.

"On the earth wall!" the Shinobi shouted urgently.

The surrounding Shinobi, hearing this, raised their hands and quickly formed hand signs.

Chiri glanced at the earth wall beneath his feet.

Tsk, the most troublesome large-scale contact-based perception.

Naori's genjutsu cannot make Naori himself completely disappear physically.

Therefore, he will be discovered.

However, Naori is a true genius.

I need to upload; the editor told me to release all my stored chapters.

What should I do?
