In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon.
This class was just free activity time.
At this time, Asuma approached Kiyoshi. A lot of people had gathered around at this time.
They were very curious about what other strengths Kiyoshi had besides Taijutsu.
In the sparring matches over the past few months, Kiyoshi had defeated his opponents using only Taijutsu.
Guy even regarded Kiyoshi as a kindred spirit, wanting Kiyoshi to burn his youth with him every time he saw him.
"Kurenai, are you very confident in Kiyoshi?"
Rin opened her lips slightly, every line of her lips was clearly visible under the sunlight, looking soft and delicate.
"I can't say about other things, but in terms of Genjutsu, Kiyoshi definitely has an understanding beyond ordinary people." Kurenai turned her head and said.
She still remembered Rin, a girl, who had gone to Kiyoshi so late at night not long ago. She wondered what Rin had gone there for.
"I see." Rin nodded.
The theories Kiyoshi had told her were indeed useful. Last time, she had met Kakashi and chatted for a long time.
It had been a long time since she had seen Kakashi so interested in something.
Rin wanted to continue to ask Kiyoshi for advice, but she was afraid of bothering Kiyoshi if she went too often.
When she was the one teaching Kiyoshi, she only needed to teach Kiyoshi once, and Kiyoshi would practice the rest on his own, and learn it in no time.
But she didn't have much confidence in Lightning Release, and it was estimated that it would take a long time.
Rin asked, "Kurenai, do you know what Kiyoshi likes?"
Rin planned to cater to his preferences.
"What are you asking this for?" Kurenai asked in surprise.
Before Rin could answer, Kiyoshi and Asuma's battle was about to begin.
The two girls could only look over there first.
"Come on."
Kiyoshi said, looking calmly at Asuma.
In front of him, a panel flashed by.
[Apprentice Genjutsu Ninja (White)]
[Requirement: Use a conventional Genjutsu.]
[Progress: Completed]
[Effect: Your talent in Genjutsu is increased by 10% on the original basis.]
[Note: Can be upgraded.]
This was a Trait that Kiyoshi had acquired a few days ago at night.
After mastering Lightning Release: Flash Pillar, he had obtained a Genjutsu-type Trait that could amplify his talent.
"Remember not to use the Sharingan." Asuma added before starting.
Kiyoshi nodded.
Asuma glanced at Kurenai, who was watching, and some classmates who had gathered around.
Immediately, he formed hand seals, and then suddenly looked into Kiyoshi's eyes.
Genjutsu is all about taking the initiative.
Asuma noticed a flash of light in Kiyoshi's palm, as if something was reflecting light.
Kunai?
Asuma was puzzled, but didn't think about it too much.
The top priority was to seize the opportunity as soon as possible and drag Kiyoshi into the influence of Genjutsu first, which would give him a huge advantage.
Two thick branches spiraled out of the ground and grabbed Kiyoshi.
"Success!"
Asuma was overjoyed.
This Genjutsu was personally taught to him by his uncle. He had said that he had liked to use it when he was young.
This technique was similar to the B-rank Genjutsu Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death.
It's just that it was D-rank, named Demonic Illusion: Branch Binding Death.
Looking at the tree trunks constantly emerging from the ground, the rough bark tightly adhering to Kiyoshi's body, binding his hands and feet, Asuma couldn't help but smile.
"My Genjutsu talent is good, right, Kurenai."
Asuma looked at Kurenai's direction with a smile.
"Um, Kurenai?"
Asuma found that Kurenai was not moving.
Looking again, he found that everyone around was motionless, like wooden stakes fixed in place.
"What's going on?"
Asuma felt inexplicably flustered. He began to look in other directions.
The auspicious clouds in the sky stopped floating.
The noisy training ground had become silent at some point, as if he was the only one in the whole world.
Finally, when Asuma was about to run out of the training ground, a familiar voice came to his ears.
"Asuma, when did you get the illusion that you were using Genjutsu?"
Hearing this voice, Asuma's pupils shrank.
This is... Kiyoshi's voice!
Crack!
Subtle sounds like endless glass breaking echoed.
Asuma felt a chill in his neck. Looking down, he found that a black Kunai was pointed at him.
"I... I lost." Asuma said bitterly.
To be honest, he didn't even know how he had lost.
"Why did Asuma suddenly freeze in place? Kiyoshi slowly went to put the Kunai on his neck!"
"Did he sleep in class? Was that a Genjutsu duel?"
"Oh, it seems so."
"Kiyoshi is indeed a member of the Uchiha clan."
Some students already had respect in their eyes when they looked at Kiyoshi.
A few months ago, Kiyoshi was just a foreigner, a mixed-blood Uchiha.
Now, they found that Kiyoshi's talent in Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, and Genjutsu was very high, almost comparable to Kakashi, who had graduated early.
The public opinion about Kiyoshi had changed.
No one wanted to offend a future powerhouse.
"Damn it!"
Obito was upset, hating Asuma for failing to live up to expectations.
Kurenai was still here, but he had still lost inexplicably.
Even if he was bound to lose, at least he shouldn't lose in just a few seconds, right?
"Can I ask why I lost?"
Asuma's face was red and swollen, but he still endured and didn't leave instantly, asking Kiyoshi the reason why he had lost.
He wanted to know exactly what mistake he had made.
"You were caught in my Genjutsu from the beginning." Kiyoshi withdrew the Kunai and said.
At this moment, a prompt from the Trait panel sounded in his mind.
"You have acquired the Trait: [Chakra Flow: Fire Release (White)]."
[Chakra Flow: Fire Release (White)]
[Requirement: Defeat Sarutobi Asuma in his childhood.]
[Progress: Completed]
[Effect: Your 'Chakra Flow' learns to attach Fire Release to weapons.]
[Note: Can be upgraded.]
Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes.
The effect of this white Trait was better than a green Trait in his opinion.
The so-called "Chakra Flow" is basically attaching Chakra to the body surface, such as hands, feet, hair, and even weapons.
The Twin Lion Fists is actually a kind of Chakra Flow.
In simple terms, it is "Enchantment", adding buff to weapons.
For example, the future Asuma will condense the extracted Chakra with Wind Release properties to weapons for a long time.
Special metals only make the conduction of this process easier.
"You focused too much on my eyes, and ignored my hand instead."
Having obtained a good Trait, Kiyoshi was patient enough to explain to Asuma, the second ATM.
He raised his hand, and light appeared at his fingertips.
Lightning Release: Flash Pillar!
