Konoha: Who's the good guy?

Because her main focus is on illusion techniques, Kurenai Yuhi has a much deeper understanding of them than Might Guy and Genma Shiranui.

The more she learned, the clearer she became about just how powerful the genjutsu that the young Jonin had just unleashed was!

Using that special, subtle fragrance, it employs a method similar to olfactory illusion to draw people into a dream world without their knowledge.

Within a single breath, it disrupts and influences the senses of smell, sight, touch, taste, and hearing.

Moreover, the person being targeted is completely unaware that they have been under an illusion.

This level of performance alone is something that ordinary A-level illusion magic can hardly achieve!

There's also that utterly unreasonable, chilling killing intent, as if facing a real giant python.

It significantly affects what goes beyond the five senses—the most instinctive perception and reaction to danger deep within human genes.

And finally, and most importantly!

Group spellcasting!

It simultaneously affects the five senses of three people, and also enables them to communicate without any obstacles or sensory bias.

This is at least a multi-layered illusion technique with an A-level illusion as its core!

The difficulty of control and the effects of ninjutsu... are probably comparable to S-rank genjutsu!

The Jonin leading the team actually used a combination of genjutsu with a difficulty and power comparable to S-rank genjutsu to deal with three rookie Genin?

Thinking about it that way, it's even worse!

"I feel like you're thinking something very rude."

When Yamanaka Kei saw the look in Yuhi Kurenai's eyes that seemed to regard her as a scumbag, he narrowed his eyes slightly, bent down, and looked directly into her ruby-like eyes.

"No, no! How could that be?"

Kurenai Yuhi avoided eye contact, vehemently denying her earlier inner monologue about the Jonin leading her team.

Under his surprise attack and persuasive words, the three little ones in the mountains had completely forgotten that he was late for the morning.

He thought to himself that children are indeed easy to fool.

As he turned and walked out of the training ground, he spoke again to the people behind him.

"Now that you've passed the test, to celebrate the formation of the team, I'll treat you to barbecue skewers for lunch. Keep up."

"It's decided! I'll walk to Yakiniku Q while doing a two-finger handstand! If I can't do that, I'll kick my legs two thousand times!"

Mitekai responded positively as always.

"Teacher Jing just mentioned kebabs, not grilled meat, so the destination should be Sanweiju."

Genma Shiranui, with a senbon tree dangling from his mouth, corrected her with droopy eyelids.

"Huh? Is that the shop that the Pig, Deer, and Butterfly clans jointly own? I heard it's extremely expensive! A serving of venison slices costs five hundred taels."

Kurenai's eyes brightened slightly as she secretly decided to put her image aside for the time being and have a good meal.

Otherwise, it would be a disservice to the fright she had just experienced.

"Their psychological resilience is quite good."

Hearing the laughter of the three little ones behind him, Yamanaka Kei smiled slightly.

The three's talent is beyond doubt.

Might Guy, the most talented character, possesses three attributes: [Hot-blooded Youth (Blue)], [Limited Recovery (Blue)], and [Thick-browed Kappa (White)].

His passionate youth gave him a level of self-discipline and an indomitable will that is hard for ordinary people to match.

Limit recovery allows him to recover faster after his body reaches its limit and reduces the chance of hidden injuries.

The white-labeled, thick-browed kappa, while reducing charm and chakra stability, also improves focus and taijutsu training effectiveness.

The effects of the three terms are cumulative.

Its effects are enough to leave 99% of Konoha's ninjas far behind.

Kurenai Yuhi's talent is second only to Might Guy, possessing two attributes: [Psychic Power (Blue)] and [Hallucination (Green)].

The former increases the strength and upper limit of mental power, while the latter enhances the hallucinogenic effect of illusions.

If developed properly, the infamous scene of "Itachi's illusion" should not happen again in the future.

As for Genma Shiranui, there is only one entry: "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red (blue)."

The effect is that, with guidance and supervision, one can significantly improve their learning speed and reach their full potential.

Although the number of entries is small, in truth, it may not be inferior to Kurenai Yuhi's talent.

The three boys have no shortage of mentality and talent.

Yamanaka Kei was certain that even if he had paid a little more attention during the teaching, the three of them would not have perished along the way, just like in the original story.

The achievements in the future will only surpass those of the original!

He just looked at ten-year-old Might Guy, eleven-year-old Kurenai Yuhi, and twelve-year-old Genma Shiranui.

He couldn't help but sigh.

When he first watched the anime, he saw passion and bonds.

But after actually coming to this world, he struggled for more than ten years in the ninja world filled with bloodshed and strife.

All he could see was cruelty.

An eleven or twelve-year-old child.

In my past life, I wouldn't have even graduated from elementary school.

In Konoha, children of this age have to start facing battles and bloodshed.

"This lousy place is really hard to like."

Yamashita Kageshi thought to himself, "What do you mean?"

Having lived two lives, he was long past the age of being cynical and resentful.

But when faced with things in life that he couldn't stand, he still couldn't help but ask himself if he should do something about it.

Mencius said: "When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven."

Previously, due to his lack of ability, he could only drift along under the rules of the ninja world, daring not to overstep the bounds in the slightest.

Now that we have a system...

"Five hundred taels for a plate of venison?! That means you'd have to eat the equivalent of several D-rank missions in one meal!"

Matt Kai exclaimed in surprise, leaping forward while doing a handstand on one hand, while trying to count how much it would cost with his other hand.

"Don't bother calculating. I heard someone say before that if you don't order anything particularly expensive, it costs 3,000 taels per person, which is about three times the cost of roast pork Q."

"Three thousand? Is this a rip-off?"

Matt Kay was never from a wealthy family.

Hearing that the cost was three thousand taels per person, he was so shocked that he almost fell headfirst to the ground.

Kurenai looked at the mountain scenery that hadn't spoken to the three of them for a while, and cautiously peeked out.

Seeing his somewhat somber expression, I assumed that he was unaware of the specifics of Sanweiju and was simply subconsciously trying to treat his subordinates to something nice.

Now, upon hearing Genma Shiranui's words, he was equally shocked by the price.

The kind-hearted girl ultimately chose to temporarily forgive Yamanaka Kei for almost scaring her to death.

He cautiously tried to smooth things over.

"...Teacher Jing, actually I think ramen is delicious too."

"Hmm? Ha~ Hahahaha~!"

Yamanaka Kei paused for a moment, then quickly understood what Yuhi Kurenai meant and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He raised his hand and gently patted the little girl's head as she peeked out.

Seeing the little girl blushing and wrinkling her nose shyly as she tidied her hair, he made up his mind.

He really does have to do something!

It's not about that empty, worthless Will of Fire.

It's not for the sake of a peace in the ninja world that is impossible to exist in the first place.

He simply felt that the sun was shining brightly, the wind was gentle, and the people he met were lovely.
