This suddenly disrupted Kurenai's thoughts.
Unable to stop, her pink clone's kunai pierced through the figure in front of her.
But there was no sensation of impact, as if it had pierced through thin air.
Kiyoshi's figure gradually twisted and disappeared into the air.
Kurenai bitterly asked, "When did you use a genjutsu?"
Followed by the warm breath, Kurenai felt an icy chill on her neck.
A kunai was held against her neck.
She had lost in one exchange and didn't even know why.
When did Kiyoshi use a genjutsu right under her nose?
And how did he get behind her?
"You lost."
Kiyoshi lowered the kunai.
"You have acquired the Trait: [Pride of Genjutsu (White)]."
[Pride of Genjutsu (White)]
[Requirement: Defeat Kurenai during her time at Ninja schooll to prove that the Uchiha clan's genjutsu is the strongest.]
[Progress: Completed]
[Effect: Your genjutsu ability will increase by 5% of its original base.]
[Note: Can be upgraded.]
'This works too?'
Kiyoshi was stunned.
So he can also acquire traits by defeating someone.
Then why didn't he get anything for defeating Obito?
Is it because Obito's stats are too low right now?
Or is it purely random?
Kiyoshi stroked his chin in thought.
While he was pondering, Kurenai turned around, her clear, crystalline eyes wide with shock.
She had lost so quickly. This made her feel ashamed towards her father and the Yuhi surname.
"I... I lost."
Kurenai bit her lip slightly and asked, "When did I fall under your genjutsu?"
"Did you forget?" Kiyoshi pointed to his eyes.
His left black eye suddenly turned crimson, with a single tomoe slowly rotating.
Kurenai's face instantly flushed red. She had made a basic mistake.
Never make eye contact with an Uchiha's Sharingan!
"But... your eyes weren't red just now." Kurenai said.
If she had seen Kiyoshi's eyes showing signs of turning red, how could she have made eye contact?
"Which one do you think is faster? Your reaction speed or my Sharingan activation and deactivation speed?" Kiyoshi retorted.
The Sharingan has no pre- or post-use animation and can be used and canceled at any time.
Sharingan's genjutsu is transmitted through sight.
That's why any ninja with a little knowledge knows not to make eye contact with an Uchiha.
When an Uchiha uses their Sharingan for genjutsu, they just need to focus their gaze on the target.
This process is actually converting the Sharingan's pupil power into a special form of electromagnetic wave.
Pupil power is a special kind of chakra.
Chakra has many variations.
Tsunade's A-rank ninjutsu "Nervous System Rupture" can even turn chakra into electrons to generate an electric field. It is a superb way to use chakra.
Unfortunately, Tsunade didn't go any further, stopping at disrupting the enemy's control over their body.
"Kurenai, did you know that the speed of light and the speed of electromagnetic waves are the same?"
Kiyoshi said lightly, not at all worried that Kurenai wouldn't understand.
Ninja school also teaches some basic physics and mathematics.
And the Chunin Exam's written test includes these topics.
Kiyoshi said, "The moment I looked at you, I activated the Sharingan and hypnotized you. You were just using your genjutsu into the air while I leisurely walked behind you."
"!"
Kurenai looked surprised.
This was the first time she had heard this.
She was careless.
From now on, she not only has to avoid making eye contact with the Sharingan, but also immediately avert her gaze when seeing an Uchiha.
"Kurenai, you're here."
A rustling sound came from the distant bushes, and Asuma came out, panting for breath.
So, Kurenai was just sparring with Kiyoshi in genjutsu.
Asuma breathed a sigh of relief.
He had long secretly regarded Kurenai as his future wife and had a certain possessiveness towards her in his heart.
"Kiyoshi has already awakened his Sharingan. Why are you comparing yourself to him in genjutsu? Using genjutsu against an Uchiha is the worst strategy."
Asuma shook his head, wanting to advise Kurenai not to associate with Kiyoshi anymore.
His mother had told him that getting close to an Uchiha could easily involve political problems, so he had to be careful.
Therefore, Asuma felt that it was best to keep his distance from the Uchiha.
Exchanging a few words from time to time was enough.
If he gets too close, who knows what kind of trouble it will cause?
"..."
Kurenai quietly listened to Asuma's words, unconsciously clenching her fist.
Does that mean that people who aren't Uchiha aren't worthy of learning genjutsu?
Asuma's words were too hurtful.
Her greatest idol was her father.
Wasn't Asuma's sentence denying her father's lifetime of research in the field of genjutsu?
"Asuma, what do you mean?"
Kurenai's tone turned cold.
Asuma said, "Kurenai, you misunderstood. What I mean is..."
Asuma saw that Kurenai's expression was not right.
He immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and that his words were ambiguous.
What he meant was to use other methods to deal with the Uchiha.
There was no need to confront them with genjutsu, the Uchiha's most proficient field.
"Asuma, Kurenai's genjutsu is very strong. Few people in the class can compare to her. In terms of genjutsu alone, even Kakashi can't compare to her."
Unfortunately, before Asuma could clarify himself, Kiyoshi had already spoken first.
Genjutsu uses the enemy's five senses as the target of attack.
It can be used to freely control the chakra flowing in the enemy's nervous system and is a technique that requires extremely high intelligence.
"So, I admire Kurenai. Even though we Uchiha are famous for genjutsu, Kurenai still has the determination to challenge the Uchihas domination. With this kind of ninja way, she will surely achieve extraordinary things in the future."
For the sake of the trait he had just acquired, Kiyoshi sternly condemned the somewhat delinquent Asuma and praised Kurenai.
Kurenai would eventually carry out 14 S-rank, 138 A-rank, and countless other missions.
It's just a pity that her debut was her peak.
Then, she met Itachi and Kisame, which led to a lifetime of damaged reputation.
But her performance was actually not bad.
Kurenai could parry a few moves under Itachi's genjutsu.
Orochimaru was killed by Itachi with one look.
Later, Kurenai had children and retired from the front line, no longer participating in ninja affairs.
She gave up further research on genjutsu.
"Kiyoshi..."
Kurenai was stunned. She hadn't expect a person from the Land of Lightning to be so articulate.
"Kurenai, you have to believe in yourself." Kiyoshi turned to Kurenai and said.
You must have more faith in yourself and improve your abilities even more.
And then maybe I can get another trait.
Of course, Kiyoshi buried the last words in his heart and remained silent out of kindness.
