I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 24 Endorser, Illusion Expert

Although Sakura's chakra control is only at the blue level, which is not comparable to the awakened bloodline limit that provides immediate combat power, in Yagyu's eyes, Sakura's chakra control is definitely no less than that of the red bloodline limit.

This talent completely transformed Yagyu's ninjutsu skills, turning him from an ordinary person into a genius.

Before he was even in his third year of high school, Yagyu had already mastered all the ninjutsu passed down from his parents.

Yagyu mastered both the Rasengan, which required secret training, and the Rasengan Water Tornado, which was combined with Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique, by the time he was in sixth grade.

Before even graduating, he had already mastered several ninjutsu thanks to this talent, including more than two B-rank and two A-rank ninjutsu.

All of this is thanks to chakra control and the Shadow Clone Technique.

He's talented and hardworking, it's just that Yagyu doesn't have many more ninjutsu scrolls.

Otherwise, he would have mastered even more ninjutsu by now.

Just as Yagyu was checking if his contact lenses had shifted, Kurenai Yuhi smiled again and said, "I am very satisfied with your performance. It's still early, so I'll take you on a mission and then treat you to barbecue."

After speaking, Kurenai transformed from an elder into an older sister, taking Hinata's arm around her shoulder and walking alongside the three of them.

On the way, Kurenai couldn't help but ask curiously, "Yagyu, how did you develop that Water Release technique without a seal?"

"Inspiration, I learned from my father's ninja diary that ninjas' ability to scale walls and leap across rooftops involved gathering chakra in their feet. After trying it out, I discovered that I could perfectly control the flow of chakra."

"That's probably why the ninja scrolls left by my parents are no challenge for me at all."

"After starting school, I saw pictures of tornadoes in books. The swirling wind gave me a bold idea... Could I gather chakra in my palm, make it materialize and spin, and then gather wind or water to form tornadoes and waterspouts?"

"After trying, I found that gathering chakra wasn't difficult. However, I failed countless times in combining the rotating chakra with the water flow, and only succeeded a few months ago."

"...Is this the inspiration of a genius?"

After hearing Yagyu's words, Kurenai Yuhi, Shino Aburame, and even Hinata, who greatly admired Yagyu, were all speechless.

The principle that Yagyu explained was very simple; their brains were already telling them, "I've learned it, I've already learned it."

But their hands seemed to be protesting: 'No, you can't!'

Only a prodigy like Yagyu could figure out such a ninjutsu without a hand seal on his own.

However, upon hearing about Yagyu's method of gathering chakra, Kurenai Yuhi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, recalling a legendary ninjutsu that was almost forgotten. She couldn't help but ask, "Yagyu, do you know about the Rasengan?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng couldn't help but smile knowingly.

I'm hooked! I've found someone to vouch for me!

So, Yagyu looked at Kurenai with feigned confusion: "Rasengan?"

"The Rasengan is an A-rank ninjutsu developed by the Fourth Hokage, and it is also a ninjutsu without hand seals."

As Kurenai recalled the appearance of that ninjutsu, she described it: "That ninjutsu involves condensing a ball of chakra energy in the palm of your hand and spinning it at high speed, which is very similar to your technique of condensing and spinning chakra."

"A chakra energy ball?"

Yagyu pretended to be deep in thought, then raised his palm, and a blue vortex of chakra immediately appeared in his palm.

The cyclones multiplied, but instead of coalescing into a sphere, they transformed into a miniature blue tornado.

Suddenly, the blue tornado was compressed into a sphere, which spun rapidly for a few seconds before exploding, turning into a gust of wind that made the clothes of those around it flutter.

Although it 'failed', Yagyu said with a look of surprise, "Teacher Kurenai, this method seems to work."

"Don't try anything reckless, be careful."

Kurenai patted Yagyu on the shoulder and confidently assured him, "Master knows a disciple of the Fourth Hokage. I'll go and find out the principles behind the Rasengan for you."

"There's no need for that, Teacher Hong."

Yagyu said confidently, "As long as I know it's a high-speed rotating energy ball, I'll definitely master it."

At that moment, Yagyu seemed to be glowing.

Looking at the incredibly proud Yagyu, Shino Aburame and Hinata once again realized just how vast the gap was between them and Yagyu.

Kurenai was intimidated by Yagyu's imposing presence.

She had to admit that she was captivated by the handsome boy who was only twelve years old but almost as tall as her.

No wonder Kakashi was so popular at school when he was young.

Such an aura is incredibly powerful for girls.

Kurenai didn't discourage Yagyu's confidence, but instead smiled and advised, "Then you should be careful when you cultivate, and it's best to use shadow clones to assist you."

"I understand, Teacher Hong."

Yagyu nodded obediently, and this respectful manner greatly increased Kurenai's goodwill towards him.

Yagyu is now Kurenai Yuhi's most treasured student.

She believes she will be the proudest student in the future!

On the way to the Hokage Building, Yagyu summoned a virtual panel that only he could see, and checked the blue light that had burst out from Kurenai Yuhi's body in his spatial backpack.

The next second, the information from the blue light cluster appeared.

[Illusionist (Blue)]

Upon seeing these words, Liu Sheng's eyes lit up.

With Sakura as an example, it's no surprise that this illusion expert is also a talent.

If someone can even unleash a talent like chakra control, it's not surprising that they could also unleash a talent for genjutsu.

Although within the circle of Jonin instructors, Kurenai Yuhi is not as good as elite Jonin such as Kakashi Hatake, Asuma Sarutobi, and Might Guy, she is definitely an outstanding individual compared to other Jonin instructors.

Within Konoha, she was also a renowned expert in illusion techniques.

The reason her performance was so poor was because her opponents were all overpowered.

Itachi Uchiha was a master of genjutsu second only to Shisui Uchiha, Yakumo Kurama was the chosen one of the Kurama clan, appearing only once every few generations, and Aizen Sousuke from the Naruto world.

It's perfectly normal for Kurenai Yuhi, who only excels at illusions, to be instantly defeated in front of them.

But as an ordinary person without a bloodline limit, Kurenai Yuhi has reached the limit of what she can achieve.

The title "illusionist" perfectly encapsulates her talent.

If he can merge with this ball of light, Yagyu will become a genius of genjutsu even without the Sharingan.

This kind of transformative talent...

Without a doubt, the expert in illusions, just like Sakura's chakra control, is absolutely top-tier among blue-level techniques, and may even be as strong as some bloodline limits.

Therefore, Yagyu did not hesitate to merge it.

The ball of light transformed into a beam of light and flew out, seeping into Yagyu's body.

Just like when he fused with the Sharingan, Yagyu's appearance and inner self remained unchanged.

Only when he learns illusion techniques does Yagyu discover the changes in himself.
