“Introducing me to the Anbu is out of the question…”
Feng An had no desire to join the Anbu and become the Hokage’s executioner, especially since he clearly remembered the plot of Hokage, where Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were secretly developing the First Hokage’s cells.
Hiruzen Sarutobi merely called for a halt on the surface; how could he, as the Hokage, be completely unaware of the things Danzo was doing behind his back?
Kurenai Yuhi raised an eyebrow, “Many people want to get in but don’t qualify.”
Feng An spread his hands, indicating he truly wasn’t interested.
“Can I change the reward, Teacher Kurenai?”
Kurenai Yuhi chuckled, “Heh heh, of course. If you really manage it, you can propose your own reward then.”
In her opinion, there was no way Feng An could complete it, so a bigger wager was meaningless. Thus, she hadn’t even considered a punishment if Feng An failed.
“I propose it myself? Anything is fine?”
Feng An’s eyes lit up. He immediately thought of the sexy swimsuit Kurenai Yuhi wore in the Genjutsu.
Kurenai Yuhi gave him a disdainful look, “I know what you’re thinking. Don’t even try it.”
He pouted and mumbled, “I didn’t say anything.”
Kurenai Yuhi ignored him and went to join the others.
Feng An also stopped wasting time, sat down on the spot, opened the scroll, and carefully comprehended the Ninjutsu written on it.
The Mist Servant Technique creates a black, paint-like shadowy figure. Each time the figure is attacked, it splits, making it a D-rank beginner Genjutsu.
The Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique utilizes the fear present in everyone’s heart, making it materialize. It causes people to subconsciously believe it’s reality, making the opponent see the most terrifying scene in their heart. It is a D-rank beginner Genjutsu.
“That’s the move Yuhi used before, isn’t it?”
Even after all this time, he still felt a lingering fear recalling that realistic scene.
As he read and understood, his eyes lit up, “So that’s how it is!”
Genjutsu requires the Yin-natured Chakra within the body to be circulated to the Fengchi acupoint to enhance the caster’s mental power, thereby achieving the materialization and transformation of the Genjutsu.
Ninjutsu, on the other hand, only requires the mobilization of Chakra of the corresponding attribute. For example, for Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, one only needs to circulate the Fire-natured Chakra within the body to the throat, then combine the hand signs and release it.
Precisely circulating Chakra into the Fengchi acupoint is the high wall that prevents most people from mastering Genjutsu.
But Feng An only felt joy.
Because this was not much different in principle from the method he usually used to research Bloodline Limits.
“Circulate it to the Fengchi acupoint?”
Feng An pressed his hand on the back of his neck, above, while feeling the location of the Fengchi acupoint and circulating the Chakra within his body to gather there.
Rat, Boar, Ox, Rooster, Horse, Rooster.
At the same time, following the hand signs in the book, his hands quickly changed.
As the Yin-natured Chakra surged in, he immediately felt his mind become clear and ethereal.
What a wondrous feeling... Just then, he unconsciously mobilized Yang-natured Chakra into the Fengchi acupoint.
The Yin-natured and Yang-natured Chakra intertwined, and a new Chakra nature appeared.
Feng An was greatly shocked, his heart pounding.
“How did this happen?!”
His years of attempting Chakra fusion seemed to have inexplicably succeeded, and it remained within the Fengchi acupoint.
“Yin-natured… Yang-natured…”
...The sun was setting in the west.
Feng An, immersed in his thoughts, seemed to have entered a peculiar state, completely unaware that two hours had already passed.
Kurenai Yuhi and the others watched him from a distance with worried expressions, not daring to disturb him.
“Teacher Kurenai, he’s been like that for four hours. Do we really not need to wake him up…?”
Hinata, beside her, activated her Byakugan and looked at Feng An with concern.
Inuzuka Kiba also frowned, asking worriedly, “Teacher Kurenai, is he really okay?”
Kurenai Yuhi’s expression was solemn, “Just a little longer.”
All her attention was now on Feng An.
He had remained motionless, as if in meditation, for four hours.
This was also the first time she had seen someone fall into such a state while learning Genjutsu.
In Ninja World history, there had been cases of Ninja using Genjutsu on themselves and then being unable to dispel it, eventually dying by their own technique. But Feng An’s breathing was steady, and he showed no signs of being under Genjutsu. Clearly, Feng An’s situation was not like that.
It was just Kurenai Yuhi’s intuition telling her that Feng An’s current state was not a bad thing.
Meanwhile, Feng An was extremely excited. His years of attempts seemed to have found a direction today by accident.
He discovered that the prerequisite for the fusion of Yin and Yang Chakra natures was natural energy.
Using natural energy to achieve a neutralizing effect could merge the two attributes of Yin and Yang Chakra into one, creating a new Chakra transformation.
“Have I reached my limit?”
Feng An, whose Chakra was exhausted, slowly opened his eyes and murmured.
In those four hours, he discovered that, compared to ordinary people, he seemed to possess double the mental power. While continuously drawing Yin-natured Chakra into the Fengchi acupoint, he could vaguely sense the natural energy in the Ninja World. However, the continuous influx of Chakra also gradually fatigued him, and his mental power was consumed at double the rate.
He stood up, placed his hand on a nearby large tree, and circulated the Yin-Yang Power from his Fengchi acupoint.
Zzz—
A three-centimeter hole was pierced through the tree trunk, and the edges of the hole appeared withered.
“The destructive power of Yin-Yang Release is indeed very strong.”
Feng An’s eyebrows twitched. He had only mobilized the Yin-Yang Power to his fingertip, without applying any Ninjutsu, yet achieved such astonishing results.
If this power of Yin-Yang Release were injected into Ninjutsu, even the Third Raikage, known as the strongest physical body, would likely only be able to avoid its sharp edge and dodge.
“Unfortunately, there’s too little natural energy in the Ninja World, and the conversion efficiency is extremely low, so it’s not applicable for now.”
Feng An felt the tiny bit of Yin-Yang Power left in his body, shaking his head and sighing.
At this moment, Kurenai Yuhi and the others walked over.
Kurenai Yuhi asked, “What happened to you earlier?”
Feng An scratched his head and smiled, “I accidentally got engrossed in learning Genjutsu.”
Inuzuka Kiba said with a look of disbelief, “Hey, hey, that lie is too fake, isn’t it?”
Not only Kiba, but Kurenai Yuhi and the others also didn’t believe what he said.
The guy who usually sleeps in school, and you’re telling me you were so absorbed in studying you couldn’t pull yourself away?
Feng An gave an awkward smile and didn’t answer.
“Do you want to eat something? I made a bento for you.”
Hinata stepped forward, her face shy, and offered him a purple rectangular lunch box.
Feng An froze. His heart seemed to be stirred by the shy girl in front of him.
This was the first time someone had brought him food, and the feeling of being cared for gave him an inexpressible sense of happiness.
He saw Hinata’s outstretched hands trembling slightly in front of him. He quickly took the bento and stepped closer.
Ignoring the gazes of the others, he pressed his forehead against Hinata’s forehead.
“Thank you, Hinata.”
Feeling the warmth on her forehead, Hinata shyly lowered her gaze to the ground, her small hands tightly clutching the hem of her clothes.
“Teacher Kurenai and the others are watching…”
Feng An said in a gentle tone, “It’s fine. Just pretend they’re cabbages.”
