Should I continue being a villain in the ninja world after transmigrating?

Chapter 93 The One Who Cast the Illusion on Mavis

"A ninja's illusion technique?!"

August's expression also turned cold.

At this moment, a chilling killing intent erupted from his body, and his hand gripping the magic wand was so tight it seemed he could crush it.

"Who is it!" August's tone was terrifying at this moment.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be Orochimaru? That guy actually dared to attack Mom!"

After saying that, Auguste turned around abruptly and walked towards the door.

Seeing the murderous aura emanating from August, Zeref asked, "August, where are you going?"

August paused slightly, but without turning around, he replied, "I'm going to skin Orochimaru alive!"

When Mavis got into trouble, August's first thought was that Orochimaru was behind it.

After all, this is the Village of Sound, and only Orochimaru has the guts and the strength to possibly cast a genjutsu on Mavis.

Zeref sat on the edge of the bed, gently smoothing the slight furrow in Mavis's brow as she lay unconscious, and asked, "Do you really think Orochimaru did it?"

Upon hearing Jelf's words, August finally turned around.

He looked at Jelf, and asked with some confusion, "Dad, what do you mean?"

Jelf's expression was very calm, so calm that it was almost eerie, except that his eyes were as dark as an abyss.

He calmly analyzed, "The so-called genjutsu of ninjas targets the five senses to induce illusions in their opponents."

Looking at the unconscious Mavis, Jelf continued, "However, Mavis's specialty is illusion magic."

"Moreover, Orochimaru's forte is not genjutsu. With Mavis's mental strength and willpower, even if Orochimaru wanted to make a move, Mavis would not be able to fall into Orochimaru's genjutsu."

"Someone else cast the illusion on Mavis."

Upon hearing Jelf's analysis, August finally calmed down. After a moment's thought, he also agreed with Jelf's deduction.

Zeref's understanding and knowledge of ninjutsu surpasses August's. Considering August's momentary confusion and concern, it's clear that Orochimaru's genjutsu doesn't reach that level.

Having calmed down a bit, August returned to Mavis's side.

Looking at the unconscious Mavis, August asked, "When will Mom wake up?"

“Mavis fainted because she was resisting the illusion she was under, and her mental energy was quite depleted. I cast a sleep spell to let her rest.”

Hearing that Mavis was alright, Auguste's emotions calmed down a bit.

At this moment, he thought of the previous topic again and asked with a frown, "If it's not Orochimaru, then who could it be? If it's the Sound Village, the strength of the other people is far inferior to Orochimaru, and there's no way they could use genjutsu on Mom."

"...Perhaps it's not a genjutsu from the Hidden Sound Village."

Zeref suddenly spoke up: "Before you came to Otogakure, you and Mavis went there. Who did you meet?"

"Not a genjutsu from the Hidden Sound Village?" August was taken aback, his mind flashing back to his days in the Akatsuki.

The illusion was so powerful that it could even be used on Mavis. In addition, Mavis always wanted to talk to Sasuke but was inexplicably interrupted, so Augustus gradually began to suspect someone.

“Uchiha Itachi!” August said through gritted teeth.

Itachi Uchiha? Sasuke's older brother?

Zeref frowned, his eyes turning cold, and said, "You met Uchiha Itachi before you came to Otogakure? I heard he was a ninja extremely skilled in genjutsu..."

"How did you encounter Itachi Uchiha? What happened afterward? Why did Itachi use genjutsu on Mavis?"

A series of questions came out of Jelf's mouth.

August was about to answer when he suddenly remembered Mavis and Konan's agreement not to proactively leak Akatsuki information, and his expression became somewhat hesitant.

After hesitating for a moment, August said, "I'm sorry, Dad, I promised Mom I wouldn't tell her about it. Let's wait until she wakes up and ask for her opinion."

"Also, I'm sorry I didn't protect Mom properly. I didn't even realize it until now."

Seeing Augustus's self-reproach, Jelf stood up and comforted him, "It's not your fault, Augustus. Even with Mavis's keen perception, she didn't realize she was under an illusion for a while."

"Besides, it should always be us, your parents, who should protect you. Mavis must think so too."

……

In her dream, Mavis recalled what happened the night she left Amegakure.

Itachi, who suddenly appeared to visit, had Sharingan with strange patterns.

"...Could you please remain silent, just for Sasuke's sake...?"

Mavis suddenly opened her eyes, only to be met with complete darkness.

Mavis rubbed her temples and slowly sat up straight.

The next moment, a dim candle suddenly lit up, and in the soft light, Mavis could see the person holding the candle.

"Zeref? What time is it now?"

Mavis asked instinctively, "Orochimaru's base is buried deep underground, and it's always dark, whether it's day or night."

Mavis instinctively wanted to know how long she had been unconscious. Judging from the fact that her body seemed to have rested well, it seemed that she had been unconscious for quite some time.

Seeing that Mavis had adjusted to the candlelight, Jelf walked to the switch.

The next moment, the entire room became bright again.

Jelf casually extinguished the candle in his hand and placed it aside before walking to Mavis's bedside.

As Zeref approached, Mavis was about to speak when she was startled by Zeref's sudden movement.

Mavis's eyes widened as she saw Jelf raise his hand to cup Mavis's cheek and press his forehead against Mavis's.

Looking at Jelf's face so close to hers, Mavis felt her face heat rising uncontrollably.

After a moment, Jelf stepped back, his expression relaxing slightly, and said, "Great, it looks like everything's alright now."

Mavis then realized what was happening and said somewhat awkwardly, "Yes, yes, I'm fine now."

“It’s already late at night. I’ll go and call August over. He’s also worried about you.”

With that, Jelf walked toward the door.

Upon hearing this, Mavis immediately said, "Since it's so late, let August get some rest. I'm fine now anyway."

Hearing Mavis's words, Jelf did not stop. With the doorknob in his hand, he turned around and said, "If you don't wake up, August will definitely be worried sick and unable to sleep. It will put his mind at ease if he comes to see you."

......

Soon, August arrived.

As Jelf said, although August returned to his room so that Mavis could rest in peace, he couldn't relax at all.

Seeing that Mebius looked very energetic, I finally felt a little relieved.

"Mom, how are you feeling right now?" August asked.

Seeing Augustus rush over with a worried expression, Mavis reassured her, "I'm completely fine now, don't worry, Augustus, Mommy's very strong too~"

Upon hearing this, August looked at Zeref beside him, and after receiving confirmation from Zeref, August finally felt relieved.

Although the worry on his face had lessened considerably, August's expression was still not good. He stared at Mavis and asked, "Mother, who exactly cast an illusion on you?"

"Is that Itachi Uchiha?"
