Chapter 207 207: Genjutsu Fully Upgraded
Arin started with the four D-rank genjutsu.
They were the easiest to level—each only cost 4,500 EXP to max. Four of them totaled 18,000.
Cheap.
Of course, most D-rank techniques weren't very practical.
Arin waved his hand.
All maxed.
He didn't lack experience—just killing one jōnin would earn it back.
D-Rank Genjutsu (All Lv10, Trait Pending):
Demonic Illusion: Invisibility TechniqueDemonic Illusion: Light TechniqueDemonic Illusion: Mist Servant TechniqueDemonic Illusion: Pain Technique1. Invisibility Technique – Trait OptionsPresence: Control your sense of existence.Banish: Force anyone into a genjutsu world.Erase: Remove others' memories of you.
Arin immediately eliminated Presence.
He had an inexplicable trauma toward that concept.
He declined to elaborate.
Banish was interesting—felt like something out of Warcraft III.
But in the end—
"Memory erasure is stronger."
With that, his operations would become far more covert. Witnesses could simply forget he ever existed.
Selected: Erase
2. Light Technique – Trait OptionsBeacon: Boost all attributes and cold-weapon damage.Blinding Radiance: All your ninjutsu strips enemies of vision.Sun: Illuminate surroundings and wield solar power.
"Is this some Gandalf build? Cast light and then cleave someone with a sword?"
Beacon and Sun felt redundant.
Blinding Radiance at least converted it from single-target to AoE utility.
Not amazing.
But usable.
Selected: Blinding Radiance
3. Mist Servant Technique – Trait OptionsShadow Legion: Summon dark ninja to serve you.Shadow Manipulation: Control shadow shapes.World: Enter a world belonging to shadows.
Shadow Manipulation? Useless.
Shadow Legion? Probably the Jackie Chan Adventures shadow ninjas. Weak—but decent for chores.
But—
A personal shadow world?
That meant safe zones. Infiltration. Instant entry and exit anywhere with shadows.
Arin, who proudly claimed he did everything alone while constantly exploiting game mechanics—
Chose:
World
4. Pain Technique – Trait OptionsAgony: Intensify target's pain progressively.Break: Strike the enemy's weakest emotional point.Curse: Leave the target in lifelong suffering.
"'She never loved you.' Is that the vibe here?"
He discarded Break instantly.
Between Agony and Curse, he chose immediate combat utility.
No one in the ninja world survived long enough for lifetime curses to matter.
If he let someone leave alive—that was already painful.
Selected: Agony
18,000 EXP gone.
Remaining EXP: 396,647
A faint sting.
But this wasn't enough.
The real cost came next.
C-Rank Genjutsu (4 Skills)
Each required over 50,000 EXP to max.
"Just 200,000."
He grit his teeth.
Upgraded all four.
Remaining EXP: 192,247
Two hundred thousand vanished instantly.
Experience Disappearance Technique.
C-Rank Genjutsu (All Lv10, Trait Pending):
Demonic Illusion: Temple of Nirvana (Fox Heart)Demonic Illusion: Five Senses DeprivationDemonic Illusion: Unconscious TechniqueDemonic Illusion: Narakumi Technique1. Fox Heart Technique – Trait OptionsFox's Home: Create a personalized domain.Fox Demon Contract: Summon a fox demon at chakra cost.Charm: Enslave any living being.
"What do these even have to do with the original skill?"
Apparently—
Fox-themed.
He rejected Charm instantly.
He refused to go down that road.
Fox's Home overlapped with Shadow World.
So—
Selected: Fox Demon Contract
2. Five Senses Deprivation – Trait OptionsComplete Hypnosis: Dominate all five senses.Mind Prison: Trap someone's consciousness inside your body.Human Puppet: Turn others into controllable puppets.
All strong.
Mind Prison? Powerful—but he saw no immediate use.
Human Puppet? That was basically Hiruzen's favorite lab assistant Beluh's specialty.
Complete Hypnosis—
That was Aizen-tier.
He chose without hesitation.
Selected: Complete Hypnosis
Now only two remained:
Unconscious Technique and Narakumi Technique.
Arin stared at his remaining 192,000 EXP.
He wasn't done yet.
Not even close.
