The next second, a crystal of ice suddenly appeared in the air, and a Ninja wearing a mask jumped out of it, holding a kunai, and swung it fiercely towards Hinata's neck!
Next, Feng An saw the scene he feared most. His eyes were wide with terror as he shouted, “No!!!”
Hinata felt confused, “Why is Feng An spinning…?”
The Ninja took off the mask. The flawless face beneath the mask was clearly visible to Feng An. It was Haku.
He tilted his head and smiled, “Feng An, I love you.”
“!!!”
Feng An, on the verge of a mental breakdown, his vision went black, and he immediately fainted.
The scene abruptly ended, and he lay stiffly on the ground.
“Feng An!”
Hearing his loud cry, everyone quickly stopped their training and rushed over.
Hinata, who arrived first, quickly activated her Byakugan to check his condition, and anxiously asked, “Teacher Kurenai, what happened to Feng An?”
Kurenai Yuhi gently rubbed her little face, “Don’t worry, he’ll wake up soon.”
Sure enough, not long after, Feng An woke up.
His face was pale. After opening his eyes, he scanned his surroundings blankly, then his gaze cleared.
It seemed he had fallen into a Genjutsu just now. It was terrifying as hell.
“Feng An, you’re awake?” Hinata lowered her head, looking at Feng An lying on her lap, a shy yet excited expression on her face.
“Mm.”
He looked up and saw only Hinata’s head in his field of vision. His body trembled, and he shivered violently.
The scenes from the Genjutsu were still vivid in his mind.
He gasped, quickly sitting up from Hinata’s lap pillow.
When he was first reincarnated, he had thought about conquering all the beautiful women in this world. Anyway, no one knew him, so he could become a Homelander and do whatever he wanted.
It was only later that he realized it wasn't realistic, so he buried the thought deep in his heart. He never expected that Kurenai Yuhi’s Genjutsu today would directly trigger a harem battle royale.
But even if I really started one, gentle and kind Hinata wouldn't really treat me like that, would she?
Then, after a moment’s thought, the words spoken by a yandere-like Hinata made his scalp tingle.
This made him even more determined that Hinata was his warm harbor.
He slowly reached out and held Hinata’s small hand.
Hinata shyly lowered her head, but this time she didn't pull her hand away, letting Feng An hold it.
“That was just a basic mind-attack Genjutsu. You were immersed in it for so long, what did you see?”
Kurenai Yuhi was a bit curious. What kind of terrifying scene did this brat see to be so deeply engrossed for so long? Usually, those who fell for this technique would break free in the blink of an eye, but he was actually immersed in it for several seconds.
“Do you really want to know? It’s very scary, Teacher Kurenai.”
Kurenai Yuhi nodded. He was just a brat; how could his inner fears scare her?
Then Feng An gestured for Kurenai Yuhi to lean closer.
He leaned into her ear and whispered, “I saw… Teacher Kurenai in a swimsuit.”
After saying that, he quickly grabbed Hinata’s hand and ran off with her.
Hinata, with Feng An holding her hand, became completely shy. She could only lower her head and follow.
Kurenai Yuhi was stunned for a moment, then her expression changed. She never imagined this brat would say such a thing.
“Stop, you brat! What kind of garbage is filling your head at such a young age?!”
Kurenai Yuhi suddenly leaped onto a tree, chasing after Feng An.
As Kurenai Yuhi chased him, she became increasingly surprised. Whenever she sped up, Feng An in front of her also sped up.
She, a Jonin, couldn't keep up with his pace, and he was even pulling Hinata along!
Yesterday, she had judged his speed to be above a Chunin; today, it was above her, a Jonin. It was truly terrifying.
If she had a Byakugan, she would be able to see the flow of Chakra within Feng An’s body at that moment.
Feng An used Lightning-style Chakra to activate his body's cells, greatly increasing his movement speed. He was inspired by the Third Raikage’s Ninjutsu and taught himself.
His mastery of Chakra was slightly insufficient; he could only activate his legs when speed was needed, and couldn't achieve the full body cell activation that the Third Raikage did to comprehensively enhance his physical limits.
Kurenai Yuhi tapped her own head.
“Wait, I’m a Genjutsu user, why am I competing with him in speed here?”
“Hoo-hoo.”
Feng An looked back and found that Kurenai Yuhi’s figure was no longer there.
“Did she give up?”
“Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death.”
Just as he was muttering to himself, a thick tree suddenly emerged from where Feng An was about to land.
Seeing this, Feng An was greatly alarmed. How could he not know that he had fallen into Kurenai Yuhi’s Genjutsu?
The large tree that emerged from the ground lifted him up. Before he could even stand steadily, several thick branches extended from the tree trunk and firmly bound him to the tree.
“Are you still running? It's one thing for you to run, but you even dragged Hinata along.”
Kurenai Yuhi emerged from within the tree trunk, landing in front of him, and gave him a sidelong glance.
Hinata, who was panting heavily nearby, heard this, lowered her head, and secretly peeked at Feng An with her eyes.
Oh right, why did Feng An drag me along? Was it subconscious, or… Thinking of this, her face turned even redder. She covered her face with her small hands and ran to hide behind a tree.
“But everything I said was true.”
Feng An helplessly spread his hands and took a step forward.
The illusory tree behind him instantly dissipated.
Kurenai Yuhi’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
“How did you break it?”
“It just broke like that,” Feng An said with a smile.
The first time he encountered the Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique, he didn't realize he was under a Genjutsu, which is why he was so immersed. But this time, Kurenai Yuhi’s Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death had a distinctive tree binding. Compared to mind-attack Genjutsu, this type of binding Genjutsu is easier to dispel.
One only needs to disrupt the Chakra flow within the body or use the stimulation of pain to break the Genjutsu.
The Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique definitely wasn't difficult to break because he subconsciously wanted to be immersed in it!
“You're a truly unfathomable brat.”
Kurenai Yuhi couldn't figure out whether he had any talent for Genjutsu.
He was immersed in the most basic Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique for so long before waking up, yet he easily dispelled her killer move.
However, she had held back. If an enemy were caught in Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death, Kurenai Yuhi would have moved to end their life the moment she emerged from the tree trunk.
“Teacher Kurenai, can you teach me Genjutsu now?”
Feng An only had two of his seven Chakra natures that he hadn't yet mastered related Ninjutsu for.
One was Yin Release and the other was Yang Release.
And the most intuitive way to use Yin Release Chakra transformation was Genjutsu.
Genjutsu is very practical in actual combat. He had thought about exploring it himself, but without a Sharingan, exploring Genjutsu on his own was like a blind man trying to describe an elephant.
Now that he had Kurenai Yuhi, known as a Genjutsu master, learning one more skill couldn't hurt.
The Chunin Exams would be starting soon, and having more techniques would better protect himself and Hinata.
Kurenai Yuhi smiled, “If a student is eager to learn, is there any reason for a teacher not to teach?”
“But Genjutsu is a Ninjutsu with a special nature transformation. It’s quite different compared to other more straightforward, conventional Ninjutsu.”
Kurenai Yuhi pulled out a small scroll and handed it to Feng An.
Feng An took the scroll, which was only the size of his arm.
Upon opening it, he saw the recorded techniques: Haze Clone Technique and Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique.
He asked, puzzled, “Why are there only two Ninjutsu? And they’re D-rank difficulty.”
Kurenai Yuhi walked ahead, calmly saying, “Don’t underestimate those two D-rank techniques. You’ll find it hard to even grasp the basics in a week.”
“What if I master both within a week?”
Kurenai Yuhi smiled, “I’ll give you two weeks. If you can master one, not only will I teach you more difficult Genjutsu, but I’ll even recommend you to Hokage-sama to join the Anbu, no problem.”
As Kurenai Yuhi, who had extremely high Genjutsu talent, it still took her a full month to master the simplest D-rank Genjutsu.
A Genin who had never been exposed to Genjutsu, boasting about mastering Genjutsu in a week? She didn't disbelieve him, but rather thought it was simply impossible.
