After hearing Hinata's kind reminder, Shinki first greeted Kiba Inuzuka and Shino.

Then he started walking towards where Kurenai Yuhi was.

Kiba smiled and responded to Shinki's greeting, then pulled Hinata to his and Shino's side and whispered, "Why did Shinki suddenly appear at our Class 8 Training Ground? Is there something important he wants to tell us?"

"Shinki-kun said he wanted to discuss some Genjutsu- related matters with Ms. Kurenai."

Hinata answered honestly.

Shino nearby, thought it made perfect sense and nodded, "Teacher Kurenai is extremely skilled in Genjutsu magic, so it's perfectly normal for Shinki to consult her about related issues."

"Hey! You two, don't forget, Shinki is a student in the same year as us!!" Ya reminded him.

"We all started from the same point, but while we were still desperately honing our Taijutsu and Ninjutsu, that guy had already learned Genjutsu! (༎ຶ-༎ຶ)"

"We were all graduates in the same year, and Shinki used to be at the Dead Last, but now... sigh, why is there such a big difference..."

I can't figure it out no matter how hard I try.

After hearing Kiba's words, Shino belatedly realized, "After listening to your analysis, I realize that Shinki is indeed an extraordinary person..."

Not far from the three students in Class 8, Shinki had already reached Hong.

Shinki bowed and greeted him politely, "Teacher Hong, I've been studying Genjutsu for the past two days. Kakashi-sensei told me that I can ask you if I have any questions."

"Yes, Kakashi mentioned this to me a couple of days ago."

Leaning against the big tree, Hong smiled warmly and said gently, "What's wrong? Did you encounter any difficulties with Genjutsu today?"

"No."

Shinki honestly shook his head. "Last night, facing the night sky, I suddenly realized a Genjutsu. I hope you can give me some feedback, teacher."

"Oh?"

Kurenai Yuhi was slightly shocked when she heard this.

As far as she knew, it had only been two days since Kakashi had arranged for Shinki to learn Genjutsu.

In such a short time, a normal person wouldn't even understand what Genjutsu is.

But this kid has the audacity to claim that he's figured out a new Genjutsu?!

Who would believe that?!

Kurenai Yuhi knew that Shinki, at such a young age, had already mastered the S-Rank Ninjutsu Flying Thunder God, making him a promising talent.

However, we must properly curb this genius's impetuous nature!

Then, Hong revealed an expectant expression. "Show your teacher the Genjutsu you mastered last night. The teacher will give you the most objective evaluation."

Kurenai Yuhi nodded.

In fact, she had already thought of her excuse for Shinki.

In short, we need to find problems from all aspects, suppress Shinki, and make it fully aware of its shortcomings.

Settle down and focus on your research.

"I'll begin then, teacher, please be careful."

Shinki crossed his arms, his eyes gleaming, and stared back at Hong.

Moment.

Kurenai Yuhi noticed that the boy's eyes were like an abyss!

One look at it, and it feels like you're being sucked in!

However, since she had said she would offer her comments, she had to enter the Genjutsu of the Shinki.

So she lowered her guard and let her consciousness succumb to those enchanting eyes.

The next moment.

Hong discovers that the world before her has changed.

The surrounding area turned blood red!

Looking up, one sees a horde of ferocious demons with blue faces and fangs, so terrifying that one dares not look directly at them!

The next moment, one of the demons, wielding a machete, moved.

His Great Sword slashed down, heavily aimed at the spot where Kurenai Yuhi was standing!

"Well!!"

The pain, as if she were truly being torn apart by Great Sword, caused Kurenai Yuhi to let out a cry of agony.

Immediately after her scream, the other evil spirits swarmed forward!

Some held handcuffs and shackles, some held branding irons, some carried oil pans, and some were engulfed in flames, radiating intense heat!

Tormented by the demons, Kurenai Yuhi's eyes gradually dimmed as her spirit suffered a severe blow.

Shinki, being perceptive, noticed this and quickly dispelled the Genjutsu.

But it was too late.

Just as the Genjutsu of the Shinki ended, Hong's body, like a puppet without support, slumped straight down towards the location where the Shinki was!

Shinki quickly reached out and caught it, then tried calling out twice.

"Teacher?! Ms. Kurenai Yuhi?!"

Upon confirming that Hong had lost consciousness, Shinki's heart sank.

Oh no, it looks like I've messed up again!

Not far from the two, Kiba Inuzuka witnessed Kurenai Yuhi faint and rushed over, anxiously asking, "What happened to Kurenai-sensei? What's wrong?"

"It's probably heatstroke. I'll take Teacher Hong to the hospital right now."

Feeling somewhat guilty, Shinki hoisted Kurenai Yuhi's body onto his back and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to instantly teleport outside the hospital!

Afterwards, Shinki carried Hong into the hospital.

After another round of tedious tests, Teacher Hong lay down in the hospital's observation Orochimaru's hospital room.

A medical-nin patted Shinki on the shoulder with a sigh of relief, "Luckily you brought him in time. If we had waited another ten minutes or so, the patient's condition would have been dangerous."

Upon hearing this, Shinki breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, when I visited Sasuke at the hospital a couple of days ago, I placed a Flying Thunder God Mark at the hospital entrance, otherwise I would have been in trouble today.

Then, Shinki asked, "Doctor, what's wrong with the teacher?"

"He suffered a huge blow to his spirit."

The doctor said in a nonchalant tone.

"The patient's condition has stabilized now, so please be careful not to upset her."

After saying that, the doctor left.

In an instant, only Shinki and the unconscious Kurenai Yuhi remained in the Orochimaru's hospital room.

One day later.

Hong woke up.

However, Shinki was no longer in the Orochimaru's hospital room at this time.

Kakashi and Asuma came last night and took his place.

At first, Shinki insisted on staying with Teacher Hong.

After all, he was the culprit behind the red coma.

Kakashi knew without a doubt that Kurenai had been under the influence of the Shinki's Genjutsu, which was why she had fallen unconscious.

He was afraid that Kurenai Yuhi's condition would worsen if she woke up and was stimulated by Shinki's genius, so he insisted that Shinki go home.

Finally Shinki left helplessly, but before leaving, he added, "Teacher Hong, remember to let me know when you wake up tomorrow. I want to apologize to you as soon as possible."

Kakashi readily agreed.

But until Hong's body was completely healed, he had no intention of calling out to Shinki.

What's wrong with me?

When Hong woke up, she looked around at the white walls with a puzzled expression.

"I remember I was supposed to help that kid Shinki test his new Genjutsu, how did I end up lying here... Ouch~ My head hurts!"

Hongxu was rambling on when she suddenly clutched her head and cried out in pain.

Kakashi and Asuma quickly called for a nurse.

After examining her, the nurse said, "It's normal. This is a sequela of a sudden and severe psychological trauma. Don't upset her for the next couple of days; let her rest and recover."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi's pupils dilated violently.

That kid Shinki really went too far!!

Not only did they send Kurenai Yuhi to the Orochimaru's hospital room, they even managed to cause her post-traumatic stress disorder?!
