Unlike Asuma, although he looks fair now, he will become a bearded uncle in the future.
But Asahi is still easily accepting of the change in appearance when a man grows a beard.
However, Yūhi Kurenai's style has completely changed. She went from being cute to becoming an aloof beauty, and it's hard to get used to this sudden transformation.
If it weren't for the rarity of red pupils, Asahi would have suspected someone was impersonating her.
Casually, he had the system investigate Yūhi Kurenai's talent.
This test turned out to be quite unbelievable.
"Ding~ Yūhi Kurenai, talent A, talent inclination: Genjutsu."
"System, are you sure there's no mistake? Yūhi Kurenai's talent is A-level?"
Asahi expressed doubt. This A-level talent is even more shocking than the change in Yūhi Kurenai's style as she grew up.
After all, someone like Konan, with an A-level talent, was already a solid Kage-level character when she first appeared in the anime. But Yūhi Kurenai?
At that time, she had just been promoted to a Jōnin, and her strength was considerably lower than Asuma with a B-level talent.
"Ding~ Re-scan, Yūhi Kurenai, talent A-level, talent inclination: Genjutsu!"
It's true! Asahi inwardly exclaimed.
It doesn't make sense. Why is her A-level talent so weak later on, with hardly any representative ninjutsu?
Wait a minute... Few representative ninjutsu? Asahi seemed to understand something.
If Yūhi Kurenai's talent is focused on Genjutsu, then it's understandable that she becomes weaker later on.
After all, Genjutsu users require a high level of mental strength.
Without the boost of a Kekkei Genkai or without family secret techniques, it's challenging for a Genjutsu user to grow into a powerful ninja.
It's evident that the Yūhi clan does not possess any bloodline limit, but Yūhi Kurenai's father, Yūhi Shinku, managed to become one of Konoha's greatest genjutsu ninja.
This indicates that the Yūhi clan still has a secret technique heritage.
However, why does Yūhi Kurenai become so weak later on? Asahi speculates that the Yūhi clan's inheritance was interrupted.
In the original work, it's mentioned that Yūhi Shinku sacrificed himself on the night of the Nine-Tails attack.
Moreover, by the time Yūhi Kurenai officially appeared, it seems like she was the only remaining member of the Yūhi clan in Konoha.
If the Yūhi clan's secret techniques have specific high requirements, it's understandable that Yūhi Kurenai didn't come into contact with them when her father sacrificed himself.
In this way, Yūhi Kurenai's exceptionally high talent explains her unusually slow growth.
Having a good teacher for guidance is crucial in the ninja world.
Strong individuals in the ninja world often have a good mentor or heritage.
Take Asuma, for example. Although his talent is only at the B-level, due to being the son of the Hokage, he can casually choose various ninjutsu, steadily reaching the elite Jōnin level.
Not to mention, the twin flying blades in his hands are not something an ordinary ninja can obtain.
After severing ties with the family heritage, Yūhi Kurenai, relying solely on ordinary genjutsu, was able to become an elite Jōnin.
This is enough to show the strength of her talent.
Such a good seedling is indeed an unexpected joy.
Asahi felt a sense of joy in his heart. It's like picking up an A-level talent disciple for free. He wonders what rewards he might get; perhaps another Secret Art?
It must be said that Asahi's speculation is very close to the truth.
As Asahi was contemplating taking Yūhi Kurenai as a disciple, she began her own performance in the arena.
Although, due to her age, she couldn't learn many family secret techniques, being a ninja-born, she had already mastered quite a few ninjutsu before graduating from the ninja academy.
As the battle began, Yūhi Kurenai swung a kunai and started forming hand seals with her small hands.
"Genjutsu, Illusionary Disruption."
A simple genjutsu clearly left the opponent momentarily stunned.
In an instant, Momo felt the scenery before her change; Yūhi Kurenai, who was just in front of her eyes a moment ago, suddenly disappeared.
She knew she had fallen into a genjutsu. Quickly disrupting the flow of chakra within her body, she tried to break free from the illusion.
After all, they were still children, and Yūhi Kurenai's genjutsu was far from having the power it would have later on. Momo easily broke free from the illusion.
However, Yūhi Kurenai didn't expect a simple genjutsu to take down her opponent.
This genjutsu could control the opponent for a few seconds, which was already enough. Ninja battles often end within seconds, especially when the two are so close.
Indeed, as Momo broke free from Yūhi Kurenai's genjutsu, she felt a chilling sensation on her neck. Yūhi Kurenai looked at her with a smile, "Momo, you lost."
Looking down, Momo saw a sharp kunai pressed against her neck. Just a slight movement forward could take her life. She forced a bitter smile, "Thank you for sparing me, Yūhi Kurenai."
"The match is over, winner: Yūhi Kurenai. Both sides, make the reconciliation seal."
With the examiner's announcement, it meant that the final round of the exam had come to an end.
All the students who passed the exam stood in groups of three, waiting for their assignments.
As for those who didn't pass, they could only leave with a reluctant expression, awaiting next year's exam.
Watching Yūhi Kurenai easily resolve the battle, Asahi showed a satisfied expression. This is the performance expected of an A-level talent.
"Lord Hokage, this child has a talent for genjutsu. I have a technique that she can inherit. Therefore, I would like to take her as my disciple. I wonder what your opinion is?"
With the exams concluded, Asahi didn't want to beat around the bush and directly addressed Sarutobi Hiruzen.
In Kushina's mental space, Kurama was discussing matters related to Obito with Kushina.
Kushina wanted to find out what made Obito special, something that caught Asahi's attention.
However, after asking for a while, all she got was that the Uchiha clan was inherently evil, with no useful information.
Kurama also wanted to know the reason, and Asahi could understand why both of them was concerned, considering Kushina was his Jinchuriki, and she had tremendous potential.
However, when it came to Obito, even Kurama couldn't figure out anything special about him.
In the mental space, both were left baffled.
Suddenly hearing that Asahi wanted to take Yuhi Kurenai as her disciple, both of them snapped back to attention.
"Kurama, Master is taking another disciple. He says Kurenai has good genjutsu talent, and there's a special technique suitable for her inheritance. Do you think I can learn that technique Master mentioned? I feel like my genjutsu talent is not bad."
Kurama looked at Kushina disdainfully, "Stop daydreaming, Kushina. Just focus on practicing sealing jutsu. After all these years, I haven't seen any talent for genjutsu from you."
