Chapter 23: D rank missions
For the next three months the schedule for team eight consisted of physical training in the morning followed by two D rank missions followed by lunch and teamwork exercises and then another D rank mission. Kurenai had her team learn and memorise the anbu hand signs and had Ino and Hinata learn and master the kunai balancing exercise for chakra control after finding out that Naruto already had them master the tree walking and water walking exercises and his crazy innovative variations of them which she also had learnt and mastered. Kurenai found out that Naruto had chakra control equal to that of Tsunade and so started teaching Naruto a few Genjutsu and had him master them. Kurenai regularly sparred with Naruto to keep both of their skills sharp and Kurenai started trying to achieve perfect chakra control as she already had nearly perfect chakra control because she wanted Naruto to place his Genjutsu disruption seal on her but it required to the recipient to have perfect chakra control. She wanted the seal as it would be a boon while fighting Genjutsu masters like Itachi.
Kurenai frequently took the mission to capture Tora the cat of the Daimyo's wife which Naruto found out was a ninja cat to train her team's tracking skills as according to the Hokage her team 8 was a search and destroy squad. Kurenai also had Naruto place restriction seals on her and she was at level 27 of 45 levels while Naruto was at level 32.
Kurenai had also brought in her best friend Anko to help with Taijutsu and evasion practise as Taijutsu was not her strong point and found out that Naruto and Anko were pretty close. Kurenai also had Hinata and Ino practice breaking out of Genjutsu in an instant by regularly placing them under Genjutsu. Kurenai also had Naruto place his air filtration seal on three more facemasks for herself, Hinata and Ino to wear during missions just like Naruto. Kurenai had also helped Naruto with incorporating Genjutsu into his Taijutsu and Kenjutsu style but it was still a work in progress. Kurenai also started teaching Ino how to cast Genjutsu as she had expressed an interest in learning Genjutsu and about poisons which Anko took care of. Kurenai had also started using Kenjutsu to add a deadly edge to her combat style which heavily relied on Genjutsu.
Overall Kurenai was satisfied with the progress of her team and was on her way to the Hokage's office to take a C rank bandit elimination mission in order to blood her genin.
