"Poof..."
Kakashi, hidden in the shadows, almost fell off the roof.
He never imagined that the Kurenai who had just been filled with hostility toward Sasuke moments ago would now be holding Sasuke as if she had found a rare treasure.
The way she looked at Sasuke was as if she wanted to devour him.
Kakashi felt speechless.
Women are way too changeable!
Just a moment ago, she hated Sasuke so much and wanted to teach him a harsh lesson.
This sudden change was just too much.
"Kid... Listen to me. Following Kakashi is a waste of your talent!"
"Become my disciple! I'll teach you Genjutsu, and I guarantee you will become the most powerful Genjutsu user in all of Konoha... No, I should say in the entire Shinobi World!"
"You have the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, plus your freakish Genjutsu talent. You will absolutely be the strongest Genjutsu ninja in the future!"
Kurenai, now completely excited, didn't notice her three disciples standing to the side, completely stunned.
This guy, Sasuke Uchiha, has learned their teacher's Genjutsu!
And it seems like Sasuke's talent has completely driven their teacher mad.
Is this guy really that terrifying?
"Damn, why does Kakashi get a disciple like you? I can't take this. I'll apply to the Third Hokage and have you moved to my class!"
"Your Genjutsu talent shouldn't be wasted."
"The three kids I've taken on have no talent for Genjutsu, but you, Sasuke, your Genjutsu talent will make you a very powerful ninja!"
Kurenai seemed so worried that Sasuke might run away.
She gripped Sasuke's shoulders tightly, not intending to let go.
At that moment, Kakashi also appeared.
"Kurenai! This isn't good!"
"Sasuke is from my Team 7!"
"Get lost, Kakashi! Sasuke is mine, and there's nothing you can say to change that!"
Kakashi: "..."
As expected, just as he had anticipated, Sasuke not only had the talent to learn Genjutsu but had an incredibly freakish talent for it.
"Why do you think so highly of Sasuke?"
"Why?"
Kurenai seemed to have found someone to express her surprise to.
She quickly began explaining Sasuke's terrifying abilities to Kakashi.
"Have you ever seen a ninja who can learn a jutsu for the first time and easily master it?"
"And it's a high-level Genjutsu. This kid not only learned it after just one viewing, but he even managed to trap me in a Genjutsu!"
"Sasuke's talent is wasted under your guidance. Only with me will his Genjutsu talent truly shine!"
Can you really learn it after seeing it just once?
Kakashi already knew this, and he still vividly remembered it.
Not only has Sasuke activated his Three Tomoe Sharingan, which allows him to easily copy any jutsu, but even before activating the Sharingan, Sasuke's terrifying natural talent is something Kakashi still cannot fully comprehend.
He looked at Kurenai, who was now so excited, and it was as if he was seeing his own past.
How similar it is!
"Kurenai! Listen to me, making him your disciple might not be a good thing!"
"You're talking nonsense! Anyway, I won't let go of Sasuke, no matter what you say. It's not every day that a ninja with Genjutsu talent like his appears in Konoha!"
Kurenai immediately went into a rant.
"You guys all manage to find suitable heirs, but me? After all these years, I finally find a gem like Sasuke, and in the end..."
"Anyway, there's no way I'm giving up on Sasuke!"
Kakashi glanced at Sasuke, and Sasuke looked back at him.
The former was asking for Sasuke's opinion, while the latter wore a sneaky smile.
Suddenly… Kakashi seemed to understand what Sasuke was planning to do!
'This kid… If he goes through with this, Kurenai will suffer a serious blow!'
'Forget it… That scene will be too cruel. I'd better not watch it!'
Thinking this, Kakashi gave Kurenai a friendly reminder: "Kurenai, you better prepare yourself mentally!"
With that, Kakashi disappeared.
Kurenai was taken aback. Kakashi gave in so easily?
She had thought she'd have to battle it out with him for a long time!
But it's good that Kakashi left; now Sasuke was hers!
"Alright, Kurenai-sensei, let's continue! I want to learn more Genjutsu!"
"Of course, no problem. Whatever you want to learn, I'll teach you all of it!"
It's rare to encounter a promising Genjutsu ninja like Sasuke, so Kurenai was eager to teach him whatever he wanted.
The others, including Hinata, were getting a little jealous.
Their own teacher had never been this kind to them!
Her delicate and soft tone made it seem as if she were afraid of disturbing Sasuke even by raising her voice.
"Anything I can teach?"
Sasuke grinned deviously, and this was just perfect!
...
In the evening, Sasuke walked on the way home.
'Genjutsu… it's truly wonderful!'
Sasuke had a satisfied smile on his face.
Meanwhile, in another place.
Kurenai sat on a park bench like an elderly woman at sunset, drained of energy, gazing at the setting sun.
Hinata and the others behind her also looked completely dispirited.
...
At this moment, Kakashi, watching from the shadows, silently sighed.
'I told her... to prepare herself mentally. Why doesn't she ever listen?'
Now Kurenai was muttering to herself.
"Monster! Truly a monster!"
"That kid... he learned all my Genjutsu... in one afternoon!"
"And the power of his Genjutsu... it's even stronger than mine!"
"Although he has the Sharingan... but... that kid only has the Three Tomoe, not the Mangekyō Sharingan. How can his Genjutsu be so powerful?"
Recalling those Genjutsu, Kurenai had to admit, even though she knew it was just a Genjutsu, it felt too real.
Even the details, like the wind blowing against her face, felt unbelievably real.
This was something Kurenai had never encountered before.
"Is this the talent for Genjutsu?"
Normal Genjutsu ninjas couldn't even compare!
Hinata and the others, who had witnessed how Sasuke gradually conquered their teacher, watched their teacher suffer a blow like never before.
As her disciples, the three of them were also feeling low.
They never realized how vast the difference between people could be.
They had tried learning Genjutsu, but the difficulty was just too great.
It was impossible for them to ever learn it.
In this situation, Sasuke, in one afternoon, had learned all their teacher's Genjutsu without missing a single one.
He even surpassed their teacher!
"That freak... I never want to see him again!"
