Konoha: Who's the good guy?

The illusion lasted for two hours, starting in the first ten minutes.

Whether it was Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, or Genma Shiranui, they were all extremely excited.

Learn new techniques under one-on-one guidance from teachers, improve your weaknesses, and quickly enhance your skills.

How many low-ranking ninja can receive this kind of treatment?

The illusion lasted for an hour, and a full month passed in the illusionary world. Kurenai Yuhi withered, and Genma Shiranui could no longer withstand it.

Only Might Guy still managed to maintain his enthusiasm for training.

A month and a half later, Kurenai Yuhi was utterly despondent, Genma Shiranui was questioning the meaning of life, and Might Guy looked completely exhausted.

There is no day or night in illusions.

In a pure white space, unmixed with any other color, there were only them and their teacher.

There is no need to eat, drink, use the toilet, recover stamina, pick up ninja tools, or recover chakra.

Aside from brief rest periods when they feel mentally exhausted, they will get some time to rest.

The rest of the time, he was always cultivating!

Because their teacher was always watching them, they didn't even have a chance to slack off!

The prisoners in jail have some time to go outside every day.

They...

Two hours later.

When the three little ones awoke from the illusion.

Kurenai's eyes were slightly red, and she almost burst into tears on the spot.

Genma Shiranui's eyes were empty, making him look like a walking corpse.

Even Matt Kay looked dejected, forcing a signature smile that looked worse than a grimace.

That's terrible!

They are so pitiful!

They initially thought it was just a simple illusion spell to be taught individually, but it took so long that they were almost in despair!

That feeling of emptiness and loneliness is even more terrifying than physical torture.

Are their teachers really not some kind of demon in disguise?

Snap~ Snap~ Snap~

"Not bad, not bad. Once you fully integrate what you've gained from the genjutsu into yourselves, your strength should improve to the next level. I will recommend you to participate in the next Chunin Exams."

With a broad smile, Shan Zhongjing clapped for the three little ones.

Seeing their listless and completely unhappy appearance, he simply made another empty promise.

"Chunin! How can the march of youth be halted by a little hardship? This time, we must catch up with Kakashi!"

Might Guy's eyes lit up; he became excited immediately upon hearing that he would be recommended to participate in the Chunin Exams.

Thank you, teacher!

Upon hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi and Genma Shiranui finally had something to look forward to, and they mustered their spirits to thank their teacher.

It was already close to noon.

The three children politely declined Kushina's invitation to dinner, hurriedly said goodbye to Yamanaka Kei and Tsunade, and then disappeared in a flash.

After being tormented by one-on-one battles for two months, all they want to do now is have fun in Konoha.

Shan Zhongjing watched the three of them leave.

Since he became the three boys' teacher, they have made great progress and their strength has improved rapidly in the past few months.

Kurenai initially had only one blue entry, "Psychic Power," and one green entry, "Hallucination."

Now, not only has the original green tag "Hallucination" been upgraded to the blue tag "Illusion Little Witch", but there is also an additional green tag "Master's Legacy" and a white tag "Mischievous and Clever".

Genma Shiranui initially only had one blue entry: "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red."

Now, in addition to the existing "Master's Legacy" skill, there is also a new green entry: "Ninja Tool Mastery".

As for Might Guy, he is the most talented and hardworking of the three.

The two original blue tags, "Youthful Passion" and "Limited Recovery," remain unchanged.

The white entry for "Thick-browed Kappa" has been upgraded to the green entry for "Green-skinned Little Beast," bringing him one step closer to his future title of "Azure Beast."

In addition, there are three more green entries: [Strong Physique], [Physical Skills Expertise], and [Master's Legacy].

The only slightly troublesome thing is that this child also has an additional grayed-out entry: "Waves in Faith".

"My faith wavered...because of Matt Day?"

Shan Zhongjing closed the door, rubbed his chin with one hand, and stood there thinking.

In the original work, after seeing his father being scorned by other ninjas and pleading humbly for a mission, Might Guy did experience a period of confusion and wavering.

A father is irreplaceable in a child's heart.

Matt Day was Matt Kay's father, but more importantly, he was the one who upheld his beliefs and a significant guide on his life's journey.

In the original story, he also saw his father uphold his beliefs and open the Eight Gates Formation.

After turning the powerful and renowned Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist into a bunch of lucky charms, he finally emerged from his confusion, inherited his father's will and beliefs, and continued on his path.

"We can't let the child lose his father..."

Yamanaka Kei scratched his head. He wasn't the kind of person like Danzo who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals; he really couldn't do such a thing.

but......

It doesn't seem difficult for him to rebuild his image as a great father in his children's eyes through other means.

After all, Matt Day isn't the kind of hopeless good-for-nothing.

As a time traveler, Yamanaka Kei had long ago seen the inheritance scroll of the Eight Gates Formation through his own achievements and family connections.

However, my physical skills were only average at the time, and training was too difficult and tiring.

When the effort far outweighs the reward, and there are other better options, who would be willing to endure this hardship?

Based on the strict requirements of the Eight Gates Formation.

Might Guy was able to forcefully open the Eight Gates Formation, demonstrating that his basic physical abilities already far surpassed those of most Konoha Jonin.

Even if all they know is taijutsu, becoming a special jonin should be more than enough.

He's been a genin for so many years.

Generally speaking, it's due to his personality that he's prone to getting carried away; he specializes in taijutsu, making him unable to meet the diverse mission requirements of a ninja; he lacks reliable teammates who can fill in his gaps, resulting in a low mission success rate; his growth is slow, and by the time he matures, others have already formed a fixed impression of him; and he's poor at written exams, making it impossible for him to pass the Chunin Exams.

"Perhaps he can't even find the person who would recommend him for the Chunin Exams..."

Yamazuki muttered something to himself.

How can someone who can't even find teammates expect a Jonin to recommend him for the Chunin Exams?

Jonin are not like cabbages; if someone recommended for the position fails to pass the written test and is eliminated, they will feel ashamed!

I'll try to meet with Might Day later and see what's really going on with him.

If there aren't any major problems, arrange a suitable position for them so they can contribute to Konoha.

With another henchman, Matt Kay's psychological problems can be easily solved.

Yes, perfect!

"He's been standing at the door muttering to himself for ages, come over for dinner! Damn it! Why do I have to give such a big red envelope to your disciple?"

Tsunade's impatient voice came from beside the dining table.

She just had a huge hemorrhage!

Yamanaka Kei and Kushina gave each of the three kids a red envelope containing 10,000 ryo. As their senior, she couldn't just sit there like an idiot and not give anything in return.

Thirty thousand taels!

That's enough for her to play on the slot machines all afternoon!

"Here it comes, here it comes."

Yamanaka Kei snapped out of his daze, walked towards the dining table, and pretended not to have heard the rest of Tsunade's words.

Ha~ Woman, you still want to come here to recoup some of your losses?

What a pipe dream!
