Suletu
"At first, all he 'heard' was silence. Then there was a jumble of colors and images and sounds all running together like a fast-moving stream. He almost broke off the contact then, as much out of shock as the difficulty of interpreting what he was encountering."

The Kanohi Suletu is the Mask of Telepathy.[2]
Kongu's Suletu
On the way to Karzahni, a Toa bearing a Great Kanohi Suletu died, leaving their mask on the ground. The Kanohi was eventually discovered by the Po-Matoran Hewkii. Hewkii briefly donned the mask and, sensing that it was a Great Kanohi, passed it on to Toa Takanuva. Takanuva was immediately able to sense the thoughts of Hahli, but eventually removed the Suletu in favor of his Kanohi Avohkii.
When the Matoran later met Karzahni, they were forced to exchange their current masks for others. Kongu refused the offered Kanohi and instead put on the Kanohi Suletu the group had carried with them. When the Toa Canister Kongu escaped Karzahni in was struck by lightning from the Red Star, Kongu was transformed into a Toa Inika and the mask became organic and sentient. As a result of its intelligence, the Suletu was able to help Kongu learn how to use and control its power much more quickly than an inexperienced Toa normally would.
When Toa Kongu was later transformed by the Kanohi Ignika into a Toa Mahri, his Kanohi Suletu was transformed into a Kanohi Zatth and lost its sentience.
Powers
The Kanohi Suletu allows its user to read the thoughts of other beings and to project the thoughts of the user or a target into another being's mind.[1][3][note 1] A Suletu user may distract a target by projecting mental noise into their mind.[9][10] There is a range limit.[11] The mask cannot read memories unless the target happens to be thinking of them at the time.[12] A Suletu cannot be used to communicate with most Rahi.[13]
Because it was sentient,[14][15] Kongu's organic Great Suletu was always on at a low level.[16][5][6]
Example Usage
Kongu used his Kanohi Suletu to listen to the Kanohi Ignika's thoughts and transferred them into Vezon's mind in Inferno.
