Seeing her enthusiastic expression and noticing the color returning to Uzumaki Karin's face, Qingyu felt a little more at ease.
If Kaori's mother had survived, Kaori's childhood in this timeline would have been much better.
Well, that is, assuming Xiang is born.
Now that Karin Uzumaki is no longer in the Land of Grass, who is Kaori's father?
In the blink of an eye, it's already mid-July.
In the height of summer, the leaves of the trees were as hot as a steamer, and cicadas chirped incessantly in the trees.
And the shadow of war seems to be drawing ever closer.
Third exercise field.
Qingyu stood in the training field, her hands forming a mudra.
He took a deep breath.
"Illusion Technique - This Is Not the Technique!"
-
A chilling Yin Release chakra was released.
There was no visible change in the air, but if someone stood in front of Qingyu, they would find their vision was being distorted silently.
Qingyu, who was originally standing directly in front, shifted to ten meters to the left and behind in her field of vision.
This is just a visual illusion caused by magic.
However, in actual combat, this error is enough to cause the opponent's attacks to miss completely.
"That's about it."
Qingyu withdrew his chakra, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
In the past two weeks, he has mastered both the "Art of Not Here" and the "Art of Golden Binding".
He anticipates obtaining his second B-rank illusion within two months.
Qingyu was very curious: how could the C-rank [Deep Brotherly Love] increase the Uchiha clan's bloodline by 40% and enhance the projection ability of Yin Release?
If he were to be promoted to Rank B, his two-tomoe Sharingan would probably be able to directly upgrade to a three-tomoe Sharingan.
"Qing Yu!!"
A vibrant voice came from the direction of the training ground entrance.
Qingyu turned her head and saw Xi Ri Hong coming this way.
Today she wore a white short-sleeved top and dark red shorts, and her long black hair was tied into a high ponytail at the back of her head. When she ran, the ponytail swayed from side to side, and she exuded a lively and youthful vibe.
Her face was filled with barely concealed excitement, and her cheeks were slightly flushed from running.
When she reached Qingyu, she stopped, put her hands on her knees to catch her breath, and then looked up, her red eyes sparkling.
"Qingyu, I've learned a new illusion technique!"
"What illusion?"
Qingyu watched her smug expression with great interest.
"Illusion Art: Triple Cherry Blossom!"
Kurenai puffed out her chest, her face practically overflowing with smugness.
"Let me see."
Kiyoyu put the kunai back into her ninja tool pouch, and Asahi Kurenai smiled slightly.
"I'd also like to test my current level of illusion magic. Why don't you use me as your opponent?"
"Compared to you?!"
Kurenai's smug expression immediately faded, and she looked at Kiyoyu with some hesitation.
She knew about Qingyu's level of illusion magic.
But then she thought again and patted her developing breasts.
What's there to be afraid of? It's just a friendly competition, and losing isn't shameful.
"good!"
Kurenai nodded without hesitation.
The two walked to the open space in the center of the training ground, stood face to face, and formed the opposing hand seals according to the rules of ninja sparring.
Rin Nohara sat under the shade of a tree not far away, holding a notebook on medical ninjutsu and flipping through it.
Hearing the noise, he looked up at the two people in the room.
"Hong's illusion magic has improved a lot recently."
She sighed softly.
Not only Kurenai, but also Rin Nohara herself, as well as Kakashi, Obito, and even Might Guy, everyone is training desperately.
The reason is simple: Qingyu's existence is like an invisible whip, constantly lashing out at everyone.
If you don't work hard, you'll fall further and further behind.
This sense of urgency motivated everyone to put in even more effort.
"Likewise, Lin is working very hard too."
Kurenai Yuhi smiled at Rin Nohara, then turned to face Kiyoha, her smile fading and her expression gradually becoming serious.
Qingyu put her hands at her sides and nodded to her.
"Let's begin."
Kurenai took a deep breath and quickly formed hand seals.
Her hand seals were much faster than before.
"Illusion Art: Triple Cherry Blossom!"
She crouched down and slapped the ground with her palm.
In an instant, a large number of cherry blossom petals suddenly appeared in the air.
The pale pink petals fell from the sky, drifting around the sunset crimson.
The petals gathered more and more, forming a small cherry blossom vortex in the training field, obscuring the vision of the person being treated.
And Kurenai's figure vanished without a trace beneath the cover of these petals.
Nohara Rin blinked, trying to find Yuhi Kurenai's figure among the petals, but found that the petals kept distracting her.
The person who was standing there just a moment ago is now completely out of sight.
This illusion is area-of-effect; I can see it even from right next to me.
Nohara Rin thought to herself.
Illusion magic is generally divided into single-target and area-of-effect magic.
A single illusion can only be seen by the caster and the target, while a wide-area illusion can be seen by other people in the vicinity.
Nohara Rin pondered to herself.
"It's become famous."
Nohara Rin suddenly spotted Yuhi Kurenai.
However, she noticed that Kurenai seemed to be facing away from Kiyoha, cautiously lurking in the air in front of her.
"Red—has she fallen under an illusion?"
Nohara Rin was surprised.
Meanwhile, the red sunset was completely unaware.
She was hiding behind the swirling cherry blossoms, watching Qingyu standing motionless in place, and couldn't help but feel smug.
"Hmph, why are you standing there like an idiot?"
She thought Qingyu hadn't realized what was happening and was trapped by her illusion.
After all, this was the first time she had used this illusion on Qingyu. Qingyu was completely unprepared and it was normal for her to fall for it.
The opportunity is coming!
A sly glint flashed in Kurenai's eyes.
Her figure emerged from the petals, and her hands formed a mudra once more.
"Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!"
A thick stream of water gushed from her hand, shooting towards Qingyu with a splash.
The water flowed very fast, covering a distance of ten meters in the blink of an eye.
"I'm going to win!"
Kurenai Yuhi cheered inwardly.
However, the next second, her smile froze on her face.
The stream of water passed straight through Qingyu's body, crashing onto the ground behind him and splashing up a puddle.
Despite being hit by the water, Qingyu's clothes remained dry, and she stood there calmly watching her.
The water—did it pass through?
Kurenai Yuhi's eyes widened, and her mind went blank.
What happened?
Does Qingyu know space-time ninjutsu?
Several thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, but she didn't have time to think about them in detail.
She subconsciously took a few steps forward, wanting to get closer to Qingyu and get a better look.
Just then, her shoulder suddenly felt heavy.
A hand landed on her right shoulder from behind.
"?"
Kurenai Yuhi froze.
She slowly turned her head and saw Qingyu standing behind her, looking down at her with a meaningful smile on his lips.
As she turned her head, Qingyu gently pinched her cheek with his other hand.
Two fingers pinched the soft flesh on her right cheek with a light touch, just enough for her to feel the pinch, but not too painful.
"Red, when did you get the idea that I didn't use illusion magic?"
"You fell into their trap from the very beginning."
Qingyu retorted with the same smug remark she had just made, her tone teasing, almost as if she had used hair gel to style her hair.
Kurenai's cheeks were pinched, her lips were pulled and slightly pursed, making her speech somewhat unclear.
"Ugh—how could this be—you were clearly in front of me—"
"That's just what you think is ahead."
Qingyu loosened her fingers and gently patted her cheek.
Kurenai covered her cheek that had been pinched, her red eyes filled with confusion.
Just as she was racking her brains trying to figure it out, Nohara Rin, who was sitting under the shade of a tree, stood up, patted the grass clippings off her skirt, and smiled as she offered to help her understand.
"Red, it's because Qingyu released an illusion from the very beginning, you just didn't notice."
"What?"
Kurenai Yuhi turned to look at Rin Nohara, her face filled with shock.
Nohara Rin closed the notebook, hugged it to her chest, and walked to the two of them, her brown eyes filled with admiration.
"It must have been right when you finished forming the opposition seals and you were about to cast an illusion spell that Qingyu had already completed the hand seals for an illusion spell. His movements were so fast that you didn't notice at all."
"From beginning to end, you were only attacking thin air. Qingyu used illusion magic to distort your vision, making you think that the phantom standing in the same place was him, while his real body had already moved to another place."
As Kurenai listened to Rin Nohara's explanation, her mouth gaped wider and wider.
She carefully recalled the battle just now. Qingyu hadn't moved an inch from beginning to end, not even raising his arm. Only when she formed the hand seals to release "Three Absolute Cherry Blossoms" did his fingers seem to twitch slightly.
The surgery was completed in that one moment!
"Is it 'the art of finding the wrong place' —?"
Kurenai asked uncertainly.
"That's right."
Qingyu nodded and explained to her, "After the Seal of Opposition ended, I completed the hand seals for the 'Art of Not Here,' and then used this illusion to distort your perception of my location. You seemed to be attacking me the whole time, but in reality, you were hitting thin air from the very beginning; you just didn't realize it."
"The 'Non-Here Technique' is a very flexible basic illusion technique. While not high-level, it has a wide range of applications. It can distort an opponent's sense of direction, causing them to misjudge distance and location."
Upon hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi felt a surge of complex emotions welling up inside her.
The gap between her and Qingyu not only did not narrow, but widened further.
This feeling is like chasing the sun; no matter how fast you run, you're always in the distance.
Kurenai bit her lower lip and lowered her head.
Qingyu noticed the change in her expression, stepped forward, and reached out to pat her head.
"Don't be discouraged. Your 'Three Absolute Cherry Blossoms' technique was very well executed. The density of the petals and the disruptive effect were both excellent. It's just that it was easily seen through by those with higher illusionary abilities."
"Furthermore, today I will specifically teach you illusion magic to make up for its weaknesses."
Feeling the warmth coming from above, Kurenai looked up, her eyes brightening.
"real?"
"Really, but you have to use that technique again first. I'll use my Sharingan to see where you can improve it."
"good!"
Kurenai nodded, regaining her spirits.
Nohara Rin couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle as she looked at Yuhi Kurenai's ever-changing demeanor.
Qingyu turned around and looked at Nohara Rin.
"Rin, how's your medical ninjutsu training going lately?"
Rin Nohara was slightly taken aback by Kiyoha's sudden question, then answered seriously, "I've recently been learning the 'Extraction Technique for Minor Ailments,' which is a ninjutsu that can extract toxins or diseased organs from the body and transplant healthy organs. This technique requires a very high level of chakra control, so I need to practice more."
"The Technique of Extracting Diseases" is a B-rank medical ninjutsu that can precisely and safely remove diseased parts from the body without damaging surrounding healthy tissue.
Conversely, healthy organs can also be transplanted to patients.
On the battlefield, the value of this ninjutsu is immeasurable. Poisoned ninjas no longer need to wait for the antidote to take effect; the toxins can be extracted directly.
Transplantation surgery no longer requires complex surgical instruments; all that's needed is medical chakra.
"You've already mastered B-rank medical ninjutsu?"
Qingyu raised her eyebrows slightly.
Rin Nohara's talent for medical ninjutsu was indeed underestimated.
In the original story, after she was kidnapped, the Three-Tails was implanted in her body, and then she was pierced by Kakashi's "Chidori", so she had no chance to show her true talents.
Now, she is not interrupted by those tragedies, and her medical ninjutsu is progressing rapidly.
"No, no, it's far from that."
Nohara Rin waved her hands repeatedly, a faint blush rising on her cheeks.
"Qingyu is amazing. The surgery he performed at the hospital last time was so good that even Michiko said his technique was no worse than that of a Jonin-level medical ninja."
Qingyu shook her head and smiled, not continuing the mutual flattery.
He returned to the main topic and waved to Asahiko.
"Red, continue casting illusions on me. Today I'm going to train my illusion defense and counterattacks specifically. Use all your illusions to attack me."
"good!"
Kurenai Yuhi spoke.
Time slipped away quietly as I repaired my liver.
The shadows on the edge of the exercise field slowly moved from the east to the west, and the sun's heat changed from the scorching midday heat to the gentle afternoon heat.
Kurenai Yuhi had no idea how many times she had failed.
Her "Three Absolute Cherry Blossoms" was spotted by Qingyu with his Sharingan, and even her "Naraku See Child Technique" failed to catch Qingyu.
Every time she failed, Qingyu would stop and analyze the reasons for her failure, telling her what she hadn't done well enough.
And then again.
Another failure.
Further analysis.
Come again.
Tireless.
Rin Nohara occasionally glanced up at the two in the arena and saw that although Kurenai Yuhi's face was covered in sweat, her eyes were always burning with the flame of fighting spirit.
[Collectible trait detected: Unyielding Perseverance]
[E-Rank Trait: Unyielding Perseverance]
[Effect: Increases illusion resistance by 20%.]
A new trait?
Qingyu looked at Xi Ri Hong, who had never given up, and knew that it was she who had fallen.
Qingyu naturally wants as many resistance-type traits as possible.
If he had all his resistances stacked to the maximum, wouldn't no one in the entire ninja world be able to harm him?
