Chapter 73 A Genius of Illusionary Arts Surpassing the Uchiha Clan (Please Subscribe and Vote)

"Being around geniuses is a real headache."

Yamanaka En complained, "Especially since you, Xuan Yi, are working so hard."

Genichi under the tree smiled and said, "Because I'm interested."

"It would be too boring if we didn't work hard."

Yamanaka En said, "You don't seem to have any other hobbies, do you?"

Genichi under the tree said earnestly, "Of course there is."

"For example, going to the hospital to perform an autopsy, or going to a hot spring."

Yamanaka En couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Hey, hey, hey, how did you put dissecting a corpse and soaking in a hot spring together!"

"That's all for now, I'm leaving. You can continue!"

With that, Yamanaka En waved his hand and then turned and leisurely left.

Genichi watched him leave, then continued exploring the Sharingan on his own.

Before we knew it, it was getting dark.

Genichi Shushita finished his training, bought dinner, and went to his teacher Sakumo Hatake's house.

"Kakashi!"

Genichi was surprised to see Kakashi return.

"Xuan Yi, thank you!"

Kakashi expressed his gratitude.

During this period, Genichi Kinoshita took care of Sakumo Hatake.

Although Sakumo Hatake has been discharged from the hospital, his left hand injury has not fully recovered.

"You are welcome."

Genichi Shushita smiled and showed off the dinner he was carrying: "Kakashi, have you had dinner yet? I didn't bring any for you!"

Sakumo Hatake's voice came from inside the hall: "Kakashi has prepared dinner. Genichi, come in and eat with us."

"is teacher."

Genichi under the tree responded and then gave Kakashi a thumbs up.

Kakashi saw that Genichi Kinoshita was in good spirits and breathed a sigh of relief. He then took the dishes from Genichi Kinoshita's hands and took out a plate to serve them.

Then the three of them ate dinner together happily, just like a family of three.

After dinner, Genichi and Kakashi finished cleaning together and then went out for a stroll.

"I heard from your father that you're planning to travel alone?"

Kakashi, with his hands behind his head, asked seemingly casually.

Shuxia Xuan nodded: "There is such a plan, we'll wait a while."

Kakashi turned his head slightly: "Isn't this too dangerous?"

"I just got back to the village and heard that you've become famous this time. There's already a bounty on your head in the ninja world."

Bounty?

Shuxia Genichi was hearing this for the first time and was very curious: "How many taels of silver is the reward?"

Kakashi turned to look at Genichi under the tree, his eyes looking somewhat strange.

I'm actually a little excited about having a bounty on my head?
"Twenty million taels!"

Kakashi held up two fingers and then warned, "Don't be careless. There are many bounty hunters in the ninja world, and quite a few powerful rogue ninjas."

Upon hearing this, Genichi immediately thought of Kakuzu.

"Don't worry, I know."

Shuxia Xuanyi curled his lip: "But twenty million taels is a bit too little, isn't it?"

"Those Cloud Ninja guys are a bit stingy."

Only 20 million? Who do you think you are?
He has killed more than one Jonin from the Cloud Ninja.

If it were him, he would spend more money to suppress the genius of the opposing force.

Beneath the mask, Kakashi's lips twitched, then he asked helplessly, "How long do you plan to travel?"

Genichi Shushita collected his thoughts, thought for a moment, and said, "One or two years, I guess!"

It is now Konoha Year 45, and the situation in the ninja world is becoming increasingly tense. It is likely that war will break out in a few years.

No matter what, he can't stay outside for too long.

Two years, or even longer, and they'll recall him immediately.

"Kakashi, you have ideas too?"

Xuan Yi turned his head slightly under the tree and asked.

Kakashi shook his head: "I'm following Minato-sensei now."

Genichi Shushita laughed and said, "Then good luck!"

"Brother Minato is an extremely powerful ninja. His Body Flicker Technique and sealing techniques are well worth learning."

Kakashi shook his head: "My current focus is mainly on Lightning Release."

Shuxia Genichi, exasperated, asked, "Is there a conflict between cultivating lightning techniques and becoming an apprentice?"

Kakashi was taken aback: "Minato-sensei doesn't seem to have meant that."

Genichi under the tree was speechless: "Brother Minato is not even twenty years old yet, so of course he's not in a hurry to take on disciples, and he also needs to see your performance."

"I remember that Brother Minato also knows Lightning Release, although he doesn't usually show it."

In Genichi's original impression, Minato Namikaze basically did not use conventional ninjutsu.

Physical techniques, Flying Thunder God Technique, Rasengan, sealing techniques... it seems that's all.

But now that he's had more contact with him, Genichi knows that Minato Namikaze is proficient in Wind Release, Lightning Release, and Fire Release, but according to Minato, Water Release is just so-so.

The reason they don't use them is that after the Flying Thunder God Technique was invented, these conventional ninjutsu became unsuitable.

You can't exactly fly over there, perform hand seals, and send yourself to your death, can you?

With a kunai, you can instantly kill an ordinary ninja.

Judging from the fact that Minato Namikaze was able to cut the Eight-Tails' tail with a kunai, it's clear that this was no ordinary feat, and it's possible that it was enhanced with Wind Release nature transformation.

When the Nine-Tails wreaked havoc in Konoha, those ninjutsu attacks on the Nine-Tails were no different from tickling it.

The Eight-Tails' physical strength is definitely not bad either.

Minato Namikaze's lack of skill doesn't mean he doesn't understand it.

"Besides, you don't necessarily have to learn Lightning Release just because you're taking Minato as your master." Genichi Koushi said with a motherly concern, "You already have a teacher to guide you in swordsmanship and Lightning Release. If you can take Minato as your master, it will be much easier to learn sealing techniques and Body Flicker Technique in the future."

Kakashi nodded, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "Um... what if Minato-sensei refuses?"

Genichi Shushita couldn't help but sigh, then patted Kakashi on the shoulder: "Do your best, I believe in you!"

"Okay, let's go to Brother Shuimen's house tomorrow!"

Kakashi nodded: "Okay!"

……

The next day, around 9 a.m., Genichi Kinoshita met up with Kakashi and they went to Minato Namikaze's house together.

After knocking, Kushina Uzumaki opened the door.

"Kushina-neechan!"

"Teacher's wife!"

Genichi and Kakashi greeted each other one after the other.

"Xuan Yi and Kakashi!"

With a smile on her face, Kushina Uzumaki let the two in and looked Genichi up and down under the tree: "Genichi, I heard you were injured. It seems you're alright now?"

Shuxia Xuanyi smiled and said, "They are just minor injuries, and there is no problem now."

The three entered the living room, and Minato Namikaze, dressed in casual home clothes, waved: "Kakashi, Genichi, come and sit down."

Genichi Shushita put down the fruit he had brought, plopped down on the sofa without ceremony, and asked, "Kushina-neechan, is that sealing technique complete?"

Kushina Uzumaki felt a little guilty upon hearing this: "Um, it'll be soon, very soon!"

Well, it seems I still have to rely on a cheat code.

Genichiro saw right through her and said, "Kushina-neechan, you've been busy researching your cooking skills lately, haven't you?"

Kushina Uzumaki blushed, then put her hands on her hips and said, "Developing a new sealing technique is a very serious matter. We can't be too hasty. Genichi, you're not doing this right!"

Genichi shrugged: "I've already developed my illusion magic, just yesterday."

The three people in the room were all staring at Genichi under the tree.

Minato Namikaze asked, "Is it the one you mentioned before, Genichi?"

Genichiro nodded: "Yes, Brother Minato, it's done in its initial stage, difficulty level A."

Kushina Uzumaki couldn't help but grit her teeth: "You're way too fast, aren't you?"

Kakashi was also shocked.

His Lightning Release ninjutsu is not yet fully developed. Genichi Kinoshita first used Rasengan, and now he has an A-rank genjutsu.

It seems I haven't been working hard enough!
Minato Namikaze laughed and said, "Xuan Yi truly deserves to be called the most powerful genius of illusion techniques!"

The most powerful illusion genius?
When did I get this title?
Genichi looked on with a puzzled expression.

Minato Namikaze explained, "Your name is already very well-known in Kumogakure. It is said that the Third Raikage of Kumogakure ordered that if you are encountered, you should be treated as if you were dealing with a Sharingan with three tomoe, and that you are a genius of genjutsu who surpasses the Uchiha clan."

What the hell?

A genius of genjutsu surpassing the Uchiha clan?

Is... Kumogakure stirring up trouble?
A scheme to sow discord, huh?

Do those roughnecks even know these things?

Shuxia Gen's face turned slightly green, as if he could see the Uchiha clan lining up to challenge him.

Seeing his expression, Kushina Uzumaki couldn't help but burst into laughter: "You're not afraid of the Uchiha clan challenging you, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Genichi Shushita immediately raised his head and puffed out his chest: "How could that be?"

"I just feel that as a ninja, it's more appropriate to remain silent."

"Being too famous will easily attract the enemy's attention. I actually hope that the enemy will always underestimate me."

Minato Namikaze nodded in agreement: "That's true."

"However, there are also advantages. A great reputation and strong strength can deter enemies, making them afraid before the battle even begins."

Everyone nodded.

In battle, momentum is also very important.

"Kakashi, I heard from Minato that you're also developing your own ninjutsu. How's it going?"

Kushina asked, and the topic shifted to Kakashi.

Kakashi honestly replied, "It will take some time to figure it out."

Kushina Uzumaki laughed and said, "Why don't you tell us, and we can all give you some advice?"

"Although Xuan Yi doesn't know lightning release, he always has a lot of novel ideas in his head, which might be able to help you."

Kakashi hesitated slightly.

Developing ninjutsu is a rather private matter. Is it appropriate to talk about it?

Sakumo Hatake only provided theoretical guidance on this matter, so as not to influence Kakashi with his own thinking.

This teaching method clearly influenced Kakashi's own beliefs.

Genichi Kishita knew Sakumo Hatake's style very well, and said directly, "Kakashi, the development of conventional ninjutsu is nothing more than two aspects."

"One is a change in nature, and the other is a change in form."

"For example, my Rasengan was inspired by the vortex formed by the high-speed rotation of water and the outward force it carries."

"This is a pure application of morphological change, without involving any change in properties."

"After that, I added Water Release: Nature Transformation, and it became Water Release: Rasengan."

Kushina Uzumaki said, "Minato incorporated Wind Release nature transformation into Wind Release: Rasengan."

"Jiraiya-sensei further modified the Wind Release: Rasengan, creating the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, which became an S-rank ninjutsu."

"Of course, the idea for the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken also came from this guy, Genichi."

The two of them chatted back and forth, which made Kakashi relax. He said, "My idea is to gather Lightning Release chakra in my hand. The powerful Lightning Release transformation can activate cells and increase speed dramatically."

"In this way, a high-speed sprint and sudden attack can cause astonishing damage."

Minato Namikaze said, "Lightning Release chakra is always very difficult to control, and it is extremely difficult to gather it into a single point in your hand."

Kakashi nodded: "Yes, Minato-sensei."

Kushina Uzumaki stroked her chin and said, "This is similar to the Rasengan; the Rasengan also requires compressing chakra towards the center."

"Kakashi, why don't you first improve your control over this by training in the Rasengan?"
