Chapter 44: Leaf Ninja, Roll Up!
The next day, outside the Yūhi household.
"Teacher Kyōichi? What are you doing here!"
Kurenai was very surprised.
She couldn't believe Kyōichi had taken the initiative to come to her door. She looked at Kyōichi's attire, could it be...
He's here to invite her to train early?
"Is Shinku-dono around?"
"Yes, Father, Teacher is looking for you..."
Kurenai paused in her actions.
Looking for Father?
She didn't know the situation, but didn't hesitate to turn around and call out loudly.
Yūhi Shinku was not on a mission.
Hearing that Kyōichi had arrived, he was slightly surprised, but soon appeared in the yard.
"Please come in, Teacher Kyōichi."
"Shinku-senpai, the reason for my visit today is actually because I wanted to ask you about Genjutsu."
"Oh? Teacher Kyōichi is also researching Genjutsu?"
Yūhi Shinku was a little surprised.
Apart from the Uchiha clan, not many in Konoha studied Genjutsu deeply. Most shinobi's attitude towards Genjutsu was - being able to break it and knowing a few Genjutsu is enough.
There weren't many willing to research and learn Genjutsu deeply.
"I've had some thoughts lately."
"Teacher said his Genjutsu isn't good, but his Genjutsu is amazing. He has a sword technique that can make people hallucinate..."
Seeing Kyōichi being humble, Yūhi Kurenai quickly spoke up for him.
Illusory Sword technique?
Yūhi Shinku was very surprised.
The Second Hokage had also researched Illusory Sword techniques back then, but it seemed to have stalled in the end. Outsiders didn't know if he had successfully developed it. Could Kyōichi's Illusory Sword technique be based on the Second's research?
After the surprise, his expression became serious as he said, "I have some books on Genjutsu here..."
"No need. Shinku-senpai misunderstood. I only wanted you to help me test the effects of Genjutsu and give me some feedback. You are Konoha's Genjutsu expert, so I thought of you first."
Kyōichi knew Shinku had misunderstood.
The other party probably thought he was here to ask for books, but he already had initial plans and theoretical support for integrating Illusory Sword techniques. He didn't need to read books.
Right now he just needed to adjust based on the effects.
"Sorry, please go ahead then."
"Yes!"
Kyōichi glanced at the light and adjusted his blade. In an instant, a flash of light shone.
Yūhi Shinku instinctively raised his hand to block the light, but after the instant flash, he couldn't see clearly for a moment.
The sound of the blade returning to its sheath rang out.
He lowered his hand and was stunned for two seconds, then understood and said, "You're using light reflection off the blade, amplifying it with chakra into a flash of bright light, to create an illusion... No, this isn't an illusion!"
Genjutsu could be quickly dispelled.
However,
This kind of bright light, unless you avoided looking directly at that instant, there was no way to dispel it.
Because it didn't belong to Genjutsu.
"Yes, my Iai is fast enough to blind in an instant. But if the speed is insufficient, can Genjutsu effects be added?"
"It can be combined with Genjutsu depending on the situation. For example...if I wore glasses or saw you out of the corner of my eye, the effect of the bright light would be reduced."
After that, Yūhi Shinku gave many useful suggestions.
He was a Genjutsu expert after all. Every suggestion was very helpful.
Kyōichi benefited greatly from them.
Next, Kyōichi demonstrated a simplified version of "Willow" -
Twirling the sheathed sword in a flourish, turning halfway, then drawing the blade from the left side to the right side of his body.
Similarly a guiding illusion.
"It's best to simplify the moves further. The illusory guidance doesn't necessarily need to involve the blade, it can also be done through hand gestures, or doesn't even need to be combined with sword skills. Sometimes using Genjutsu first then attacking with the sword can be even more effective."
Yūhi Shinku didn't understand sword skills, but he understood how to use Genjutsu to assist killing enemies. His suggestions were all very useful.
After hearing them, Kyōichi benefited greatly.
Yūhi Kurenai listened with fascination. Kyōichi's "Genjutsu" was completely different from what she had learned since young. It was a whole different type, which made her feel it was very novel -
Genjutsu could be used like this!
"That's right, since I'm here today, Kurenai, I want to confirm again, you're determined to learn medical ninjutsu?"
"Yes! I discussed it with Father already, and he supports my decision too."
Yūhi Kurenai didn't hesitate.
Learning medical ninjutsu required a lot of effort, but if she could master it, the help to the team would be immense. The opportunity was right before her eyes, she didn't want to miss it!
"Alright, I have a few books here, you can take a look first. Feel free to ask me if you don't understand anything."
Kyōichi gave her a few foundational medical books.
The content in these books were all covered in the "Basics of Medical Ninjutsu" he had gotten as one of the system rewards previously. He had completely mastered them already, so teaching Kurenai wouldn't be an issue.
Kurenai received them and glanced at the authors, instantly surprised.
These were Tsunade's medical books!
"Thank you so much, Teacher!"
"This is...this is..."
Even Yūhi Shinku was shocked.
These were original editions of Tsunade's books, with lots of handwritten notes.
He was very clear about this.
The Kamida clan previously had no connections with Tsunade, so for Kyōichi to have Tsunade's medical books, he must have contacted Tsunade recently. Otherwise, where would he get Tsunade's books?
This was big!
Shinku was overjoyed internally.
Although not learning directly from Tsunade, these books and notes were medical treasures beyond price. Ordinary people would have no chance to obtain them.
His daughter was truly fortunate to be assigned under Kamida Kyōichi.
Kyōichi bid farewell to the father and daughter, and left the Yūhi household.
He still had to train.
Although he had the Senju physique, he wasn't a jinchuriki after all. Physical training required persistence.
After running a lap, Kyōichi felt very emotional.
Under his leadership, the efforts in Konoha had clearly increased.
In the past in the mornings, at most he would see Might Duy and Guy, Kakashi etc, just a handful of them.
But now...
Even Asuma, Shisui, and surprisingly Genma Shiranui, Raidō Namiashi and others were out running, gasping for breath but unwilling to stop and rest. Everyone was more hardworking than the next.
Especially when Kyōichi passed by, they pushed themselves to the limit sprinting.
Moreover.
It wasn't just one or two days. Basically every day that Kyōichi was out, he could see them.
They had rolled up their sleeves!
He had contributed greatly to this.
Without him, where would there be such an intensely competitive era among the shinobi?
Kyōichi felt very emotional about it.
After returning from their mission, they didn't receive any new missions for a few days.
Lately there were just too many teams doing missions.
These few days, Kurenai had been studying the medical books diligently. Kyōichi had given pointers once, earning some experience points for Palm Sage techniques. Now not only could he use Mystical Palm Technique for healing, he could also attack enemies with it.
As for Asuma and Shisui...
Those two were still training Vacuum Blade and Wind Release.
These two were cash cows.
With just a few pointers, he had easily sheared the Vacuum Wave, which was a B-rank technique!
As for Fire Release...
Kyōichi was helpless about that.
Passing by a tavern, Kyōichi saw Orochimaru and Jiraiya sitting together. He was about to pretend he didn't see them and walk past, but Jiraiya lifted the curtain from inside.
"Hey, young man from the Kamida clan, come in and have a drink with us?"
Jiraiya raised a wine cup in his hand.
Kyōichi had no choice but to walk over and say, "Sorry, Jiraiya-sama, Orochimaru-sama, I don't drink."
"You don't drink?"
"No matter, if you don't drink alcohol, you can eat something. Today was originally supposed to be a gathering of the Sannin, but unfortunately Tsunade isn't here... Since you're here, you can take Tsunade's place."
Orochimaru had a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
At this point, Kyōichi couldn't refuse and could only sit down.
