This was not the first time Liu Chen had encountered Genjutsu. He had encountered it in the One Piece world, from a Devil Fruit user who could create illusions. Although the Genjutsu of the two worlds were different, they were still Genjutsu. At least, given the opponent's mastery of Genjutsu, it couldn't fool Liu Chen's Observation Haki. He could clearly perceive everything. Whether it was the sudden kunai, or Iruka, collapsing on the ground with blood gushing from his neck, all of it was illusory. The real Iruka was standing motionless in the corner, seemingly observing the students' expressions. And Liu Chen could "see" that there was an additional person outside. That person outside must have been the one using the Genjutsu.
Such a large-scale Genjutsu... it must be a ninja skilled in Genjutsu!
"Iruka-sensei!!" "Enemy!" "What do we do, what do we do... Iruka-sensei's injuries are so severe. If he's not treated in time, then... then people will die." "Calm down, calm down. How could someone assassinate a ninja in Konoha?!" "But Iruka-sensei has fallen!" "What in the world is going on?!" "..." Watching Iruka's throat being pierced by a shuriken, the dozens of students in the classroom immediately panicked. Although most of them had excellent theoretical knowledge, many were seeing a dead person for the first time. And it was their teacher who had died! This caused most students to panic. Only a few, those with better psychological fortitude, frowned and observed their surroundings, such as the highly intelligent Shikamaru Nara, and Sasuke Uchiha, who had just experienced the massacre of his clan. And the few kids making a big fuss were led by Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno.
Hinata's small hands covered her pink lips. Her delicate face was filled with shock. She murmured, "I... Iruka-sensei, sensei, he... he could..."
"He's fine." A familiar voice echoed in Hinata's mind. The speaker was none other than Liu Chen. He continued, "Your teacher is standing in the corner of the left wall. This is just a Genjutsu."
Liu Chen's familiar voice inexplicably calmed Hinata. A look of surprise appeared on her small face: "Genjutsu? But... it doesn't look like it..."
"If you don't believe me, you can open your Byakugan and see."
"I... I, my chakra isn't enough right now. I can't open my Byakugan."
Liu Chen: "..." He's very puzzled. How could Hinata graduate from the Ninja Academy at twelve years old? This little girl is already in the second half of her third year. Yet she still can't open her Byakugan. Using Byakugan doesn't take much chakra, right? Does she really have so little chakra?! "Anyway, you just need to know that this is just a Genjutsu."
"Oh... I understand." Hinata nodded her small head seriously. The panic on her face gradually faded. For some reason, she completely believed what Liu Chen said. It was probably because they had been together for so long. That was probably the only reason.
Meanwhile, Iruka, hidden in the corner of the wall, watched his class with interest, muttering to himself, "Shikamaru and Sasuke are not bad, but their faces are still a bit flustered." "But Naruto and Sakura, their reactions are too extreme?!" "Their psychological fortitude still needs some polishing."
"Eh?!" Iruka suddenly noticed Hyuga Hinata, sitting in the corner. He had quite an impression of this young lady of the Hyuga clan. Although Hyuga Hinata was the young lady of the Hyuga clan, and her talent was barely acceptable, she wasn't usually diligent enough, and her psychological fortitude wasn't very good. But now, she was the calmest one among them?! "How interesting... Did she see through the Genjutsu? But that's unlikely. This is Kurenai Yuhi's Genjutsu. Although there might be quite a few people who can see through her Genjutsu, how could these children possibly see through it?" "And Hinata doesn't even seem to have activated her Byakugan. Is it a ninja's intuition? I didn't expect Hinata to have such talent. Indeed, none of the direct descendants of the Hyuga clan are simple." "..." However, Iruka didn't know that the reason Hinata was so calm was because Liu Chen had told her that everything before her was fake. It was all caused by Genjutsu. That's why she was so calm now.
At the same time, Hinata was also very curious. She couldn't help but ask timidly in her heart, "Guardian Spirit Brother... how did you know this was a Genjutsu?!"
"Observation Haki. It allows me to see through everything in the world without using my eyes," Liu Chen replied very calmly.
"Observation Haki?" Hinata's small face was full of bewilderment. She had heard of Sharingan, Byakugan, Kekkei Genkai, Forbidden Jutsu... but she had never heard of "Observation Haki" in this world. To "see" things without needing eyes was too miraculous! Liu Chen didn't explain much about this, because explaining it was truly a hassle. He was currently using Observation Haki to observe the so-called ninja Genjutsu.
Liu Chen, in Hinata's consciousness sea, secretly muttered, "I wonder if the Genjutsu of this world can be violently broken like the Genjutsu of that Devil Fruit user in the One Piece world." A hint of curiosity rose in Liu Chen's heart, a little eagerness to try. And he wasn't afraid of anything. With his strength... in the Naruto world... he could absolutely walk sideways in the early to mid-stages.
"But when trying, I should still avoid this little girl," Liu Chen said helplessly. His eyes suddenly narrowed slightly. A terrifying aura, like a king dominating all, surged from his body, spreading rapidly in all directions like a raging tide. This incredibly terrifying aura skillfully bypassed Hinata. Black electric arcs instantly flickered all around. The air twisted and vibrated. Even tiny cracks faintly appeared on the walls. One by one, the little brats rolled their Byakugan eyes and fainted. They couldn't even last a millisecond. Even Iruka, a Konoha chunin, couldn't last a second. He truly collapsed onto the ground. Conqueror's Haki!!!
