"Is this a genjutsu rebound?" Kurenai didn't expect Itachi to be so powerful. She had forgotten that Itachi has the Sharingan. After all, Sharingan was also known as the Eye of Illusion, which greatly enhanced its user's genjutsu power.
Even if Itachi only used his 3-tomoe, his strength and genjutsu prowess surpassed hers. Adding his 3-tomoe Sharingan into the mix and rebounding any genjutsu would be easy.
"Hehe." Itachi chuckled with a Kunai in his hand. Kurenai was bounced back by the genjutsu, and now she was the one who was under her genjutsu instead. Her mouth was bleeding, so she could only lower her head to avoid Itachi's kunai. However, Itachi also kicked her.
"Cough! Cough!" Kurenai couldn't block it, so she was kicked out and fell into the river. At the same time, she couldn't help but cough. The effect of the genjutsu rebound was quite bad.
"Fortunately, I am nearby. Otherwise, you might have to sleep here." Kurenai didn't feel the cold river washing over her body. Instead, she felt a warm embrace and heard a familiar smug voice.
It turned out that after waking up this morning, Ryoha remembered that it was the day Itachi and Kisame came to Konoha. If everything was the same as the original work, he naturally didn't have to worry. Kurenai would be fine in the end, but Ryoha already knew that many things in this world were clearly different from the original work.
For example, the plot would not remain the same, and everything would change. Who knew if Kurenai would be fine? While she was teaching him, she really treated him as her own disciple and cared a lot for him. She did not hold back at all. She even gave Ryoha the genjutsu manuscript that her father, Yuuhi Shinku, left for her to read.
It sped up Ryoha's growth in genjutsu, but unfortunately, Shinku died early, so Kurenai didn't have a good foundation set by an excellent genjutsu teacher since she was young. She was basically a self-taught Jonin.
Therefore, her current strength was only at a Jonin level. She couldn't understand most of the scripts her father had left her. Otherwise, Kurenai could learn everything her father had left her, and Ryoha could be sure that he thoroughly understood all the genjutsu that was recorded in Shinku's notes.
Let alone Itachi's 3-tomoe. Even the Mangekyo could not rebound them. Unfortunately, no one had taught Kurenai, and Konoha did not want her to become the second uncontrollable Shinku. It was not good to be too strong.
Therefore, Kurenai had always been stuck at the level of a Jonin and could not advance further. Genjutsu was different from ninjutsu; it was more difficult to learn alone than the ninjutsu. Genjutsu was completely a spiritual and mental attack. Its use was too complicated. It was harder to be understood and difficult to pass on.
Therefore, even if Kurenai inherited her father's genjutsu talent, it would be difficult for her to reach his level. How could Ryoha let something happen to a teacher who was so kind to him? When he came here, he saw that Kurenai was attacked by Itachi and quickly rushed to save her.
"Phew, someone finally came to help." Asuma also breathed a sigh of relief. Although Ryoha was only twelve years old and was still a Genin, Asuma did not dare to underestimate Ryoha. With him around, even if he could not defeat Itachi, he could protect himself.
"Are you the brother of that trash Sasuke?" "Your brother was crippled by me, then let me see how strong his brother was that dared to bully my teacher."
Ryoha opened his Sharingan. He was not afraid of Itachi at all. Because according to Shinku's notes, he knew that if he wanted to improve his genjutsu mastery, he had to fight against a ninja with powerful genjutsu. Regardless of the result, the real battle was the easiest way to improve and deepen his understanding of genjutsu.
Moreover, he was very confident in his 3-tomoe since both his physical and mental strength had improved greatly, thanks to the Wood Release chakra. Although he had not awakened the power of First Hokage, he had become much stronger. In addition, his Nine-Tails chakra had enhanced his 3-tomoe Sharingan to the level that exceeds many Uchiha clansmen. This time, he was even more powerful.
Itachi didn't say anything. Instead, he threw a genjutsu at Ryoha. Obviously, he was angered by Ryoha's words. Unfortunately, Ryoha was not to be outdone. The confrontation between Sharingan on the same level was actually the confrontation of the spiritual energy injected into the Sharingan to resist each other. It seemed simple and direct, but in fact, it was incomparably dangerous.
"Don't you like genjutsu rebound? Then I will return it to you." The three tomoes on Ryoha's Sharingan began to burn with grim red flames. It was turning into a fire vortex, and in this battle between Sharingan, Ryoha suddenly rebounded Itachi's genjutsu.
Itachi looked at Ryoha in disbelief. Blood came out from the corner of his mouth, just like Kurenai. The battle of genjutsu was extremely dangerous. Fortunately, Itachi was only using his 3-tomoe. If it were the Mangekyo, the backlash caused by the rebound of his Tsukuyomi would be severe.
"It can't be! Did this little brat just rebounded Itachi's genjutsu?" Kisame's expression changed greatly. This was the first time he had seen someone who could reflect Itachi's genjutsu. Usually, let alone rebounding them, it was extremely rare to see someone who could break them.
The one who did that was an extremely young brat. Although he was already 1.7 meters tall, Kisame could be sure that Ryoha wouldn't be more than 13 years old. This was because of his words earlier about Sasuke. Kisame was also sure that Ryoha was at the same age as Sasuke.
"It must be very uncomfortable. Don't worry. Let's take it slow. I will let you slowly taste the illusion you cast on Kurenai-sensei. The Sharingan might be terrifying to others, but it is nothing to me. Take this, Raikiri!"
Ryoha's attack was extremely ruthless. Obviously, he was really angry. He was unhappy with Sasuke, but unfortunately, he couldn't kill him every time. But for Itachi, he didn't need to hold back. Therefore, he used his powerful Raikiri to attack him.
"Kakashi's Raikiri?" Itachi's face slightly changed. He initially thought that Ryoha was just a Genin, but he didn't expect that he was so strong that he could reflect the genjutsu made with his 3-tomoe Sharingan. Although he still had the Mangekyo, Ryoha's strength was still beyond his expectations. Was this person really at the same age as his little brother?
"What a powerful chakra." Kisame's expression also changed greatly, but unfortunately, he could not do anything because Asuma was holding him back.
