Promising the future ahead of time, starting with Naruto

Chapter 178 Asuma's Sense of Crisis, Individual Guidance (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Lie Tong, what about you?"

Genichi under the tree asked, "What are your thoughts?"

Having been inspired by Genma Shiranui, Raido Namiashi became much bolder: "Instructor, I have water attribute, may I learn water release from you?"

"Water Release, huh? That works."

Xuan nodded under the tree, and then created a clone.

Come this way!

The clone took Namiashi Raido aside.

Genichi under the tree planned to teach him water-based escape techniques such as sulfuric acid.

As the Fourth Hokage's bodyguard, he can't be without prestige.

Moreover, those ninjas who became instructors and were taught ninjutsu by Genichi Koushi would naturally become his supporters.

Genichi Shushita may not need it, but he must have it.

After Namiya Raido left, Genichi Kishiro looked at Kurenai Yuhi and said, "Kurenai, you're a genjutsu-type ninja. Well, I won't waste my time on taijutsu. You can spar with Genma and the others yourself."

"As for the illusion, the timing was quite good."

Kurenai said helplessly, "But it has absolutely no effect on you."

Genichi Shushita smiled slightly: "It's normal that it's useless to me. Even the genjutsu of the three-tomoe Sharingan is basically useless to me."

Unable to contain his curiosity, Obito Uchiha asked, "Why?"

"Is it because they both have Sharingan?"

"But Xuan Yi, when did your eyes become like this?"

Genichi Shushita glanced at Obito Uchiha, and then Obito Uchiha collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Heaven and Earth Seal!

All five senses and mental consciousness are blocked, and even speaking is impossible.

It's even scarier than being locked in a dark room.

Kurenai Yuhi and Aoba Yamashiro were startled.

Shuxia Xuanyi smiled and said, "I sealed off his five senses and fixed his mental consciousness."

"Yes, I call this solitary confinement, a small punishment."

"Hong, what are your own thoughts?"

"Don't waste your time asking me about the village's ordinary illusions; Senior Shinku is more than capable of teaching you."

Kurenai thought for a moment and said, "I want to learn illusion techniques that can quickly subdue enemies."

Shuxia Xuan nodded: "Quickly subdue the enemy, and use a powerful control-type illusion like Tree Binding Kill?"

"The village possesses the Dark Travel Technique created by the Second Hokage, an illusion technique that blocks the enemy's vision. Does Senior Shinku have mastered it?"

Kurenai Yuhi shook her head: "I've heard my father talk about this technique. It's an A-rank super high-level genjutsu. It's extremely difficult to master and requires a lot of chakra."

Chakra level...

Genichi looked at Kurenai and saw that she indeed had little chakra.

Of course, this is relative to someone like Kakashi.

"Your chakra reserves are indeed a problem."

“Strong control-type genjutsu always requires a high amount of chakra.”

Xuan Yi under the tree said, "I can teach you the art of traveling in darkness."

"As for chakra levels, currently we can only replenish them with nutritional supplements, and the village is already expanding its production scale."

Kurenai was delighted to hear this: "In that case, I'm not so worried."

Genichi under the tree nodded slightly: "Besides the art of darkness, I also have illusions that can seal hearing, smell, taste, touch, and even mental consciousness. Hong, do you want to learn them?"

Kurenai's eyes widened suddenly, and she subconsciously swallowed: "Is it the one I used on Obito just now?"

Genichiro nodded and then dispelled the genjutsu on Obito Uchiha.

Huchi~
Huchi~
Obito Uchiha gasped for breath, his gaze filled with terror as he looked up at Genichi under the tree.

That situation was absolutely terrifying.

Indescribable.

Because he was completely isolated from the world.

I can't see, hear, feel, or control my body...

When did Xuan Yi become so terrifying?

"Obito, you need to change your habit of asking random questions."

Xuan Yi said calmly under the tree.

Obito Uchiha nodded, but stumbled as he tried to get up.

With his six senses blocked, his sensory system is somewhat disordered and has not yet fully recovered.

Yamashiro Aoba rushed forward to help, her heart pounding with fear: "Xuan Yi is simply... terrifying, he feels like he's on a completely different level!"

He had felt terrified when he met Orochimaru before, but now Genichi Kinoshita gave him an even more terrifying feeling.

Of course, the two are different.

Orochimaru struck him as not being human, but rather as a terrifying monster in human skin.

As for Genichi Shushita... he was simply too powerful to be human.

Standing in front of Genichi under the tree, Aoba Yamashiro seemed no different from a child.

"Sort of, but the technique Obito just used sealed off all six senses at the same time."

Genichi under the tree smiled and said, "You can learn it if you want, but you have to master all six A-level illusions that seal your six senses first."

Six... Grade A?
Both Xi Ri Hong and Shan Cheng Qing Ye swallowed hard.

Is that human being?
"Oh, I forgot, you can't learn the technique to seal away mental consciousness, because it requires the Sharingan."

Xuan Yi said from under the tree, "You can learn the Five Senses Sealing Technique that I created."

Can you learn this?

Kurenai Yuhi was a little insecure, but thinking of Obito Uchiha's appearance just now, and looking at Genichi's icy blue eyes under the tree, which seemed like the deep sea, she gritted her teeth and mustered her courage: "Instructor, I want to learn the Five Senses Sealing Technique!"

Genichi nodded slightly, then turned to look at Obito Uchiha: "Obito, what about you?"

Obito Uchiha had recovered and quickly said, "Instructor Xuan... I want to learn the Five Senses Sealing Technique too!"

"No, that's not right, it's the technique the instructor used on me just now."

"I have the Sharingan, so it should be okay, right?"

Genichi smiled slightly, quite satisfied with Obito Uchiha's address of "instructor": "No problem."

"You and Hong can go to the side!"

Then he created another clone, which packed up Kurenai Yuhi and Obito Uchiha and took them away.

In the end, only Yamashiro Aoba was left.

This guy comes from a minor ninja clan in Konoha and has his own tradition.

For example, sensory ninjutsu, and brain invasion techniques similar to those of the Yamanaka clan.

It also knows Fire Release.

In terms of potential, he seems to be stronger than others.

"Aoba, what are your plans?"

Xuan Yi asked from under the tree.

Yamashiro Aoba had been thinking about this for a while, so she had her answer: "Instructor, I'll choose illusion magic too."

Genichi Shushita chuckled: "Not choosing other options to broaden your abilities?"

"Besides genjutsu and water ninjutsu, I am also proficient in wind ninjutsu, fire ninjutsu, lightning ninjutsu, earth ninjutsu, and medical ninjutsu."

The corner of Shancheng Qingye's eye twitched wildly under the magic mirror.

Is this showing off?
No, it's probably just stating the facts.

This fact is just hard to accept!

Pushing up her sunglasses, Yamashiro Aoba said firmly, "Instructor, I've made up my mind."

"Although expanding the boundaries of capabilities is very tempting, I think that given my current situation, strengthening one aspect is a better choice."

Fire Release techniques, sensory abilities, and brain penetration are family traditions, but the Yamashiro clan, who specialize in illusion techniques, do not possess such accumulated skills.

Most importantly, the reputation of the Tree-Under-the-Tree Illusion Technique is too great.

Moreover, the scene of Obito Uchiha being controlled just now left a very deep impression on him.

"Okay, you can go to Hong's place too!"

Genichi Shushita had no objections and had his own plans, which was better than being completely clueless.

Of the five members of the guard team, only he and Kurenai Yuhi had clear plans for their own training and goals for the future.

This is the benefit of having guidance from one's parents and family, and it is also the biggest difference between ninjas from ninja clans and commoner ninjas.

Genma Shiranui and Raido Namiashi didn't lack talent, but rather their understanding. Without guidance, they lacked the foundation to develop ninjutsu.

People like Genma Shiranui don't even have a place to learn Wind Release: Nature Transformation.

Kurenai Yuhi's father was a genjutsu-type Jonin, so it can be said that she paved her way to becoming a Jonin.

For Kurenai Yuhi, if she could avoid the detours her father took, and if she had enough talent and worked hard, she could easily become a Jonin.

The same is true.

Genma Shiranui and Raido Namiashi are both at the Special Jonin level.

Yamashiro Aoba, on the other hand, is a support-type ninja.

For Genma Shiranui and Raido Namiashi, all they lacked was an opportunity.

According to the original timeline, they were also the Fourth Hokage's guards, and they were even taught the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Unfortunately, the Fourth Hokage died too young, having only served as Hokage for a year or two.

Genichi, standing beneath the tree, felt a sense of anticipation as his gaze fell upon Genma Shiranui, who was struggling against the leaves of the tree.

If he can master Wind Release well, he wouldn't mind training a "Danzo".

And there's also the sunset glow.

Being instantly defeated by Itachi Uchiha is such a disgrace to Jonin.

Moreover, he is now considered his student.

They must be severely tortured and disciplined.

As for Uchiha Obito...

"This guy will probably improve the fastest among them..."

Genichi under the tree secretly speculated.

He never underestimated Obito Uchiha's talent; it's just that this guy's personality is... well, you know.

However, how will Obito Uchiha awaken his Mangekyou Sharingan in the future?
Genichi looked at Obito Uchiha on the shadow clone's side, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind: "Could I use genjutsu to create a fake image and activate the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

"A true illusion... at least like Infinite Tsukuyomi, the Brain in a Vat might be worth a try."

Withdrawing his gaze, Xuan Yi turned and went home to continue his cultivation.

……

The Land of Rivers. Kakuzu, his upper body exposed, strangled a ninja to death and casually tossed him to the ground: "Hmph, overestimating yourself."

With such limited strength, they dare to hunt him down.

His heart wouldn't even acknowledge something of that level.

"Ok?"

Just as he was about to leave, Kakuzu turned around in surprise and saw two people who had appeared behind him at some point: "Are you like these people too?"

"No, quite the opposite!"

Pain, with a cold expression, spoke.

Beside him was Konan: "Being tracked by several ninja villages is no pleasant experience."

"Furthermore, once you're targeted, it will be very difficult for you to escape Konoha's pursuit, right?"

Kakuzu frowned slightly: "So?"

Do you have any good suggestions?

Konan said, "It's simple, join our Akatsuki organization."

"We can provide you with shelter."

"And the price is simply to complete the tasks we assign."

Kakuzu frowned: "Free?"

Xiao Nan didn't react immediately.

Pain said, "It depends on the situation, but that won't stop you from making money and earning bounties. In addition, the organization's funds can be entrusted to you for management."

Kakuzu was satisfied, but looking at the two people in front of him, he said, "Then let me see if you have the power to protect me!"

As he spoke, Kakuzu formed a hand seal and opened his mouth to exhale.

boom!
The fireball collided with the ground, instantly transforming into a fiery tsunami.

Fire Release: Head Engraving!

Pain raised his hand, and the next wave of flames was swept back by an invisible force.

Kakuzu's expression changed, and as he retreated, he formed hand seals again.

Water escape technique, water curtain!

The water curtain condensed and collided with the surging flames, instantly causing water vapor to rise.

shhhhhh!
As the black tentacles unfurled and Kakuzu was about to release his heart clone, sheets of paper came whistling in and enveloped him.

But the next moment, these white papers were pierced by black tentacles.

However, as soon as he tore open the paper, Kakuzu saw a series of explosive tags floating in front of him.

And it's all around.

"That's it!"

Kakuzu quickly spoke up.

"very good!"

Pain was satisfied and turned to leave: "Let's go!"

Kakuzu put on his clothes and followed.

……

Sand Hidden Village, Kazekage's office.

Ye Cang frowned as he looked at the documents in his hand: "None of them are up to standard?"

Chiyo sighed, "None of them are qualified. They can't even withstand a little bit of the One-Tailed Beast's chakra."

Temari, the daughter of the Fourth Kazekage, and Kankuro, the son, were both eliminated.

Ye Cang put down the documents and said in a deep voice, "If there is no suitable candidate, then I will have to take the job myself!"

Chiyo's expression changed: "This..."

Yekura said, "The Fourth Mizukage has also become the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails."

Chiyo looked at Yekura with a complicated expression, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually, there is another candidate."

Ye Cang was puzzled.

Chiyo said helplessly, "He is the posthumous child of the fourth generation."

Ye Cang frowned: "That child, shouldn't it be a while before it's born?"

"Is it too small?"

Chiyo said, "Actually, babies are the most suitable because they have no sense of good or evil and will not allow the power of the tailed beasts to take advantage of their weakness due to fear of the tailed beasts."

"Furthermore, children are accustomed to the power of the Tailed Beasts from infancy, which allows Jinchuriki to better master the power of the Tailed Beasts in the future!"

Yecang immediately decided, "Then let's hold the ceremony as soon as the child is born."

Chiyo nodded.

She actually wanted to suggest that Yekura seal the child before the child was even born.

However, this would likely mean that the Fourth Hokage's wife, Karura, would not escape unscathed.

For the sake of Yekura's reputation, Chiyo abandoned the idea.

"Sigh, I'm getting old, and I've become weak!"

Chiyo sighed inwardly as she left the Kazekage's office.

……

Time flies, and Konoha's 48th year is drawing to a close.

On the bustling streets of Konoha, Kurenai was suddenly called out. Turning around, she saw Sarutobi Asuma, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, and couldn't help but smile: "Asuma, did you just finish a mission?"

Sarutobi Asuma, hands in his pockets, approached Yuhi Kurenai: "Yeah, those Cloud Ninja guys are a bit of a problem."

"By the way, where are you going?"

Kurenai smiled and said, "I'm going to ask Genichi for advice on illusion techniques."

"He is now our instructor."

Sarutobi Asuma raised an eyebrow; this was the first time he had heard of this.

Kurenai asked, "Want to come along?"

"I'll treat you to some meatballs."

Sarutobi Asuma quickly waved his hand: "No need."

"Let's have dinner together tonight!"

Kurenai frowned and said helplessly, "I'm afraid that won't work. The time allotted for training is too tight."

“Obito and his gang are improving very quickly, I can’t let them fall behind.”

Kurenai Yuhi's expression was resolute. She then waved to Asuma Sarutobi and said, "Let's talk about it next time. See you later!"

As he watched Kurenai Yuhi leave, Asuma Sarutobi sighed, a hint of distress in his voice.

I turned around and strolled home, only to find my brother there too.

Sarutobi Asuma then asked, almost as if possessed, "Brother, has Genichi entered the Root?"

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who was reading a book, looked up: "Genichi?"

"The Root Division Commander is responsible for training personnel for the Dark Division."

"what happened?"

Sarutobi Asuma said, "I just encountered Red."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke laughed and said, "Kurenai is now the Fourth Hokage's bodyguard, but she's still in her special training period."

"Xuan Yi has extremely strict requirements."

"What, you want to go too?"

Sarutobi Asuma quickly shook his head.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke knew his younger brother too well and laughed, "If you don't seize the opportunity, it'll be easy for someone else to snatch it away."

"Especially when I meet someone as outstanding as Xuan Yi, I think I would be tempted too!"

Sarutobi Asuma's heart stirred with excitement upon hearing this, and after stammering for a while, he finally asked, "How can I get to the root?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked at his younger brother and said, "The Root is different from before; it's now just a training department under the Anbu."

"So it's impossible for you to get into the root now."

"You can apply to join the Dark Division, and then we'll arrange for you to receive special training at Root."

"However, not everyone has the opportunity to receive guidance from Xuan Yi!"

Sarutobi Asuma was momentarily at a loss, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "Then let's forget it!"

"Xuan Yi has already muted his phone."

After saying that, Sarutobi Asuma turned and left.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked on and secretly shook his head.

This younger brother underestimated the attraction that outstanding men have for women.

Especially for those who haven't grown up yet, regardless of gender.

He knew that both Uzumaki Ina and Shizune were completely devoted to Genichi Shushita.

"I don't think many people can resist Xuan Yi's charm, right?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke sighed inwardly.

He wasn't saying those things to Genichi Kinoshita, but rather to remind his younger brother Asuma to be mentally prepared.

If he can't establish a relationship with Kurenai now, it wouldn't be surprising if Kurenai falls for Genichi Kishita later.

Putting aside his formidable strength, just the fact that he unreservedly guided and taught ninjutsu... Sarutobi Shinnosuke thought that if he were a woman, he definitely wouldn't be able to resist this damn charm.

"However, Xuan Yi is so popular with women, there might be some interesting things to see later!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled.

As for his younger brother Asma, he may have experienced heartbreak.

Nothing at all.

It's common knowledge that Jiraiya also had feelings for the Fourth Hokage.

Besides, Asuma hasn't confessed to Kurenai yet; at most, it's just a crush.

……

"Uncle Noji, Aunt Minako, I'm sorry to bother you again."

Genichi, standing upstairs under the tree, had already heard Kurenai's voice.

Kurenai has been asking for advice very frequently these past few days, probably because she's under pressure from Obito Uchiha.

After all, Obito Uchiha was a bottom-of-the-class student back in the Ninja Academy.

As a result, the speed at which her illusion magic has improved is now far beyond what Kurenai Yuhi can match, so she has to work harder.

Genichi under the tree was happy to see it happen.

However, one should not neglect one's spiritual practice.

Therefore, Genichi Kisaki created a clone to give Kurenai Yuhi individual guidance.
