The Demonic Illusion: Temple of Nirvana Technique was a group hypnotic genjutsu.
Those affected by the technique would see feathers before their eyes, their gaze drawn to the feathers, their eyelids becoming heavy, causing them to fall into a deep sleep.
Yōkō activated his Sharingan and began learning this jutsu.
Without the Sharingan, this technique required dispersing chakra into the surrounding air, using the air as the medium for the illusion.
When the Sharingan was activated, one only needed to make eye contact with others to complete the genjutsu.
Using the Sharingan for eye contact provided higher chakra delivery efficiency and better effects.
Learning the genjutsu was unexpectedly smooth. Yōkō only took half an hour to roughly grasp the technique.
Without test subjects, its effectiveness was uncertain.
Three or four hours later, Purple Cat found him.
"Captain, I've learned the Demonic Illusion: Temple of Nirvana Technique!"
Yōkō thought to himself that Purple Cat's mental energy was strong, to learn a genjutsu so quickly.
"Oh? Then use the genjutsu on me. Try to hypnotize me."
Purple Cat formed three hand seals.
Yōkō felt a wave of chakra emanate from Purple Cat. In his vision, that chakra transformed into fluttering feathers.
Yōkō's eyelids grew heavy, and drowsiness set in.
"Very good, Purple Cat. I've already fallen for the genjutsu... Release!"
The difference in strength between Purple Cat and Yōkō was significant, so Yōkō easily dispelled the genjutsu.
Purple Cat was very disappointed: "Captain, couldn't you have lied to me, pretended to be under the genjutsu, and made me happy?"
Yōkō said, "I can't deceive you. If I pretended to be affected by your genjutsu, you would misjudge its power, and if you encountered a powerful enemy, wouldn't that harm you?
Don't be discouraged. Let me teach you a trick."
Yōkō also formed hand seals and immediately used the same genjutsu.
Purple Cat only felt her eyelids grow heavy and saw many feathers.
She quickly fell into a deep sleep.
She didn't know how long had passed when Purple Cat woke up.
She found herself lying on a bench in the locker room.
Only she and Fox were in the locker room.
Sitting up, she felt her clothes, realizing she had completely fallen for the genjutsu, had no ability to resist, and didn't know how long she had slept.
Yōkō put down the scroll and said, "No, Purple Cat, why are you checking if your clothes are on?
Even if I wanted to do something, I wouldn't take advantage of you while you're asleep, would I? You know me, I prefer the active party."
Purple Cat's fair ears turned red. She quickly said, "Of course I'm not afraid you'd do anything to me. It's just instinctive fear after being under a genjutsu and losing consciousness."
Yōkō said, "Purple Cat, let me teach you a trick, a key point for using the Demonic Illusion: Temple of Nirvana Technique."
"A trick? Captain, the jutsu scroll you gave me didn't mention any tricks."
"The scroll records the original version of the genjutsu. Where would tricks come from? I figured this trick out myself."
Purple Cat found it hard to believe. Not only had the Captain learned this genjutsu, but he had also summarized a trick?
"Captain, I didn't expect your genjutsu to be so strong too. I thought I had some talent for learning it in three hours."
"Don't undervalue yourself. You're just not as good as me, it doesn't mean your genjutsu talent is poor." Yōkō reached out and pressed a specific spot on Purple Cat's head, saying:
"This location is the hypothalamus, the key part of the brain that manages sleep.
When you release the genjutsu, concentrate chakra to attack the enemy's this location. It has a remarkable effect."
Hearing this, Purple Cat's eyes widened. So there was such a trick.
Yōkō touched Purple Cat's still red ears: "You just reminded me. How about I try hypnotizing you, and then have my way with you tonight?"
"I'd like to enjoy it too, but if I'm asleep, wouldn't I know nothing about it?"
Yōkō threw a kunai, nailing the door shut.
"No, I still want to try you, completely at my mercy."
"No, I don't want to."
Yōkō said, "When will I get my own office? The locker room isn't convenient."
"But the locker room is exciting!"
The next morning, Yōkō left the locker room and came to the Battalion Commander's office door, waiting for possible tasks.
If there were no tasks in the morning, then there was no need to wait today.
Before long, Squadron Leader Hippo also arrived, waiting outside the Battalion Commander's office with Fox.
The office door opened, and Yellow Dog came out: "Fox, come with me to see the Jonin Commander."
Yōkō stood up, thinking Nara Rokaku had some task for him.
Hippo behind him shot to his feet.
Yōkō turned around, puzzled. Why was Hippo so excited about Nara Rokaku seeing him?
Hippo couldn't help but ask: "Battalion Commander, is Fox...?"
Yellow Dog nodded and said, "Yes, Fox is going to take the Jonin assessment. Work hard. When your strength meets the requirements, I'll write you a recommendation letter."
Under his mask, Yōkō was stunned.
What did that mean? He was going to become a Jonin?
Yellow Dog tossed out a scroll, and Yōkō hurriedly caught it.
Opening the scroll, he saw it was indeed Yōkō's Jonin recommendation scroll.
On the way, Battalion Commander Yellow Dog explained:
"For a Jonin recommendation, it must be initiated by Lord Hokage or a high-ranking advisor, with at least ten Jonin agreeing to recommend.
After passing the assessment by the Jonin Commander, and finally approved by Lord Hokage, announced at the Jonin meeting, you become a Jonin.
Your Jonin recommendation was initiated personally by Lord Hokage.
Perform well. Show the strength of an ANBU shinobi during the assessment, otherwise those regular Jonin always think the ANBU are just mission machines only good at assassination."
"Understood, Commander."
The second floor of the Hokage Building was dedicated to the Jonin Corps.
It housed the Jonin Commander's office, a large meeting room capable of holding 200 people, and an examination room.
Konoha's nominal highest decision-making body was the Jonin Council, though in practice, the Jonin Corps also had to obey the Hokage.
Becoming a Jonin meant entering the village's true core.
When chaos occurred on the battlefield, all shinobi had to obey the orders of the nearest Jonin without disobedience.
Yellow Dog led Yōkō into the examination room.
Nara Rokaku sat at the head table, with 10 Jonin, including Yellow Dog, standing behind him.
Nara Rokaku was looking down, reviewing Yōkō's documents. He said, "Sit."
Yōkō sat on the only cushion in the examination room.
Nara Rokaku looked at the scroll and said:
"Fox, ANBU Squadron Leader, entered the ANBU last year, year 38 of Konoha.
To date, has completed 5 S-Rank missions.
Among them, the most important S-Rank mission, and one that can be disclosed: during the Battle of Shirano River, assisted the Water Release Battalion in driving out hidden puppet masters and killed Togei's wife.
In the Land of Rivers war, Sunagakure acknowledged his title 'Copper Fox'.
Fox has an extremely high mission success rate, rarely failing.
Mission record qualified, sufficient for promotion to Jonin."
Nara Rokaku signed the scroll, then opened another scroll and said:
"Next is the second item, the interview assessment.
I will ask three questions. You must answer each question immediately. Any hesitation will result in failure of the assessment.
First question:
If Lord Hokage ordered you to kill Advisor Mitokado Homura's daughter, how would you complete the mission?"
Yōkō was taken aback. Was this question appropriate?
