Chapter 67 – Meeting Kurenai
Even after trying out my new toys on Anko, she refused to confess what she knew about Kurenai.
In reality, we both know it’s just a roleplay and it wouldn’t be fun if she told me what she was up to during our sexual interrogation play time so when she wanted to tap out she’d confess something dumb like “Kurenai’s panties are red” or “Kurenai is tired of Asuma’s small pp.”
“Hello, I’m Kurenai Yuhi, I was asked to help you train in Genjutsu.”
I approach Kurenai as I greet her as well.
“Yami Yuumo, I’m sure I will learn a lot from such a pretty and talented kunoichi.”
I take Kurenai’s hand and kiss it in the most taki way I can.
“My! You’re a smooth one, I’m here to teach you everything I can.”
Kurenai’s face blushes a bit as I take the chance to close the single-step gap between us and lift her chin as I softly kiss her lips before parting a few seconds later.
“Hmm, cherry flavor, but not quite moist enough.”
Kurenai’s shocked expression melted, along with the rest of her body.
The real Kurenai steps out from inside the tree behind me.
“Very impressive, how could you tell?”
Hmm… the truth is that having arrived at the training ground before Kurenai I was training my Byakugan by searching for her.
I found her when she was still 5 minutes away and tracked her until she disappeared when she got close to the entrance A little after she reappeared from inside the tree I was leaning against, looking down at me.Then the Kurenai above me disappeared from most of my senses before a second Kurenai waltzed inside and approached to greet me which made it obvious I had been caught in a genjutsu.
But I obviously can't admit to all that.
“I possess more than 5 senses, a genjutsu can’t fool me that simply. I Could tell when you were above me and that the approaching Kurenai wasn’t a real human.”
“Interesting. So that’s why you were messing around with my illusion.”
“It was a beautiful illusion, I couldn’t resist testing it out instead of breaking free of it.”.
“How realistic was it?”
“Very realistic, but I can’t be sure without comparing it to the real deal.”
“Anko was right, being with you is like getting caught in a sweet poison.“Sorry Yami, but I already have a boyfriend.”
“What a shame, I’ll stick to illusion Kurenai then.”
“So what can you tell me about those other senses of yours”.
“It’s hard to explain but I can tell any illusion or clone from a close distance while being certain if I touch them.”
“That’s already very good, Hokage and Anko said you might have some talent for Genjutsu but are having trouble making use of it.”
“Yes, I can make some pseudo-Genjustu by touching someone by relying on one of my special senses but it requires me to stay in prolonged contact with the target to activate which makes it hard to apply.”
“Hmmm, show it to me.”
Kurenai holds out her hand which I softly hold while staring at her and blocking most of her conscious movements.
“You are now trapped, unable to move any part of your body below the neck.”
“Ehh, that’s very impressive, I can’t break free from it but it’s not like a Genjutsu.”
“Yes, for now, this is something like a lightning-release-based paralyzation of the body. Here come some illusions.”
Intercepting the nerve communication between Kurenai’s eyes and brain I replace the transmission for a completely dark room.Then I make multiple copies of myself and hijack her hearing as well and make her listen to a voice coming from each clone’s location as they softly count down from 10 to 0.
Kurenai’s head moves around as she analyzes the image I’ve shown her during this time.Once it reaches 0, I release my control over Kurenai’s nerves.
“Impressive, though the illusion isn’t very realistic or detailed I was utterly unable to break free.”
“Yes, because I simultaneously physically block your movement and it doesn’t work via chakra in the brain, chakra-based techniques that target the chakra used in a Genjutsu won’t work at all. “Your only way out is by using some kind of chakra technique to physically move away while not relying on any muscle or hand sign. “I think in theory a Hyuga for example might be able to expel a lot of chakra from a tenketsu to try to dash away, but even that wouldn’t go far.”
In reality, thanks to Anko not even that is possible now, I could have blocked Kurenai’s chakra as well if I wanted thanks to the ability I got from Anko to control any foreign chakra I come in contact with.
“Interesting, what else can you do?”
“Besides the 5 senses, I can also move your body how I want, control pain felt from the body completely.I’m also training with Inoichi and it’s still dangerous but I’m able to apply the same kind of illusions via lightning-release in the brain itself.”
“So your goals for this training are to solve the lack of range and the realism of your illusions?”
“Yes, I would also welcome more training in defending against Genjutsu, I might have to face Sasuke’s Sharingan during the Chunin Exams and I’ve heard rumors of Otogakure ninjas using sound-based Genjutsu.”
“I didn’t expect such a recent ninja village to have already developed advanced Genjutsu skills.”
“We can never underestimate our enemies. They aren't going to remain behind Konoha forever.”
“So let’s start by thinking about how to get some range. “I’m sure you already know this but Genjutsu needs a means, a path that can link you to the target's brain for your chakra to flow through.”
Wait! How didn’t I realize it until now…. the chakra in a genjutsu applied to me is foreign.
