My Fireball Is Huge

After school, Beizawa left the academy and headed to Kurenai Yuhi's home.

After knocking and receiving permission, he pushed open the door and walked inside.

In the living room, Kurenai Yuhi and Yakumo Kurama sat side by side.

Neither of them wore shoes, and two pairs of lovely bare feet, one large and one small, rested on the floor.

"Teacher Beizawa."

Yakumo Kurama spoke gently.

Her voice contained a captivating magic.

Beizawa could not help but relax, feeling the exhaustion he had accumulated from work that day vanish in an instant.

"How was that?"

Kurenai Yuhi asked with a smile. "Did you feel refreshed?"

"I certainly did."

Beizawa came back to his senses and said with feeling, "Yakumo's talent for genjutsu is truly terrifying."

"After all, she belongs to the Kurama Clan, which was once as famous as the Uchiha Clan."

Kurenai Yuhi paused, then asked, "You came at just the right time. What do you think we should call this sound-based genjutsu?"

The reason Yakumo Kurama's voice had sounded so unusual just now was because she had used a sound-based genjutsu.

It was the D-Rank Genjutsu that Beizawa and Kurenai Yuhi had spent two weeks creating.

Its effect was simple: through sound, it made its target lower their guard and dispelled their fatigue.

"A name?"

Beizawa rubbed his chin.

He was notoriously terrible at naming things.

Whenever he played games, naming a character alone could waste an hour or two of his time.

"How about calling it the Art of Verbal Therapy?"

An idea struck Beizawa, and he spoke up.

"Treating people through words? Not bad. It suits this genjutsu's effects quite well."

Kurenai Yuhi pondered it and said.

"Thank you, Teachers."

Yakumo Kurama stood and gave a slight bow.

"You're welcome."

Beizawa patted her head and said, "If you can become a Psychological Medical Ninja, it will benefit us too."

"That's right."

Kurenai Yuhi agreed. "Maybe we'll need to trouble you to treat us someday."

She was not merely comforting Yakumo Kurama.

In truth, genjutsu ninja were the ones most susceptible to psychological harm.

The reason was simple.

Genjutsu belonged to Yin Release. Fighting enemies with it meant clashing through spiritual power, and the slightest carelessness could leave behind psychological scars.

Take Kakashi Hatake from the original story, for example.

He was hit by Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi, suffered severe mental trauma, and remained unconscious for an entire month.

Of course, the truly unlucky one was Sasuke Uchiha.

Whenever the hatred in his heart began to fade, Itachi Uchiha would viciously provoke him with genjutsu, replaying the clan massacre like a VCR over and over.

"Mm!"

Yakumo Kurama said with determination, "I'll work hard!"

"Kurenai and I can only help you with genjutsu."

After thinking for a moment, Kurenai Yuhi said, "But your true power lies in your Kekkei Genkai, so you need to develop it properly."

"I understand."

Yakumo Kurama nodded. "Teacher Beizawa has already shown me the way. I'll use the brush in my hand to bring out its power."

"Your Kekkei Genkai is very powerful."

Beizawa thought of Ido from the original story and reminded her, "Don't fear it. You need to accept it."

"I will."

A smile appeared on Yakumo Kurama's face. "Don't I still have the two of you? There definitely won't be any problem."

"There's plenty of time. Take it slowly."

Kurenai Yuhi stood and said, "Beizawa, stay for dinner before you go. I'll cook."

"Sure."

Beizawa did not stand on ceremony and agreed immediately.

In fact, over the past two weeks, he had mooched quite a few meals, and the two of them had grown much closer.

"I'll help you."

Beizawa followed her into the kitchen.

Kurenai Yuhi picked up an apron and put it on.

She raised her hands and gathered up her long hair, revealing her fair neck.

After tying up her hair, she picked up a spatula, and her whole demeanor carried the air of a Virtuous Wife and Good Mother.

After dinner, Beizawa bid Kurenai Yuhi farewell and returned home.

A new day arrived: April 30th, the day of First Year Class A's Monthly Exam.

Beizawa would be taking part as well, because he needed to complete his mission.

Taking first place in the Monthly Exam was not easy, but as the teacher who wrote the questions and the person in charge of the first years, he already knew every answer in advance.

A little trick was not cheating, and a teacher cheating did not count as cheating.

Beizawa arrived at the classroom early in the morning. It was also that day's examination room.

He suddenly gave a soft sound of surprise.

Because he saw Sasuke Uchiha.

Compared with yesterday's Sunny Helper, today he was undoubtedly a Cloudy Helper, as though a dark cloud were floating above his head.

"Sasuke, what's wrong?"

Beizawa stepped forward and asked.

"I'm fine."

Sasuke Uchiha answered without raising his head.

"No, you're not."

Beizawa sat beside him and asked, "If you don't tell me, how can your teacher help you?"

Since it concerned his mission, he naturally could not allow Sasuke Uchiha to give up just like that.

"You can't."

After thinking for a moment, Sasuke Uchiha said.

He had seen Beizawa's Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique. It was powerful, but it could not compare to Itachi Uchiha's.

Beizawa immediately frowned.

Look at this temper of mine!

I'll give you one more chance. Think carefully before you speak!

"Why can't I?"

Beizawa asked in a Madara-like tone, "Have you ever seen your teacher at his peak?"

"N-No."

Sasuke Uchiha froze for a moment, then asked instinctively, "Are you even stronger than my brother?"

"You're this depressed, so you must have seen your brother's Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique."

Beizawa skipped over his question and asked instead, "How high was it?"

"As high as a three-story building."

Sasuke Uchiha gestured as he spoke.

After witnessing Itachi Uchiha's Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique the previous night, he had felt that the gap between people was simply too vast.

They were clearly biological brothers.

"Nine meters?"

Beizawa raised an eyebrow and said, "Not bad."

"Not bad?"

Sasuke Uchiha immediately sat up straight, hope returning to his heart.

"I can teach you how to blow out a great fireball ten meters tall."

Beizawa said with a serious expression.

He was not making it up.

The Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique rewarded by the system had exhausted all relevant experience before being directly imparted to him.

In other words, no one in the entire ninja world understood the Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique better than he did.

As long as Beizawa had enough Chakra, he could make a fireball as large as he wanted.

My fireball is huge. Just bear with it.

"Really?"

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes widened.

"Why would I lie to you?"

Beizawa patted his shoulder and said, "Once the Monthly Exam is over, I'll teach you."

"Thank you, Teacher Beizawa!"

Sasuke Uchiha said gratefully.

"Get ready for the exam."

Beizawa stood and went to sit at the lectern.

"Teacher Beizawa."

As time passed, Hinata Hyuga, Ino Yamanaka, Naruto Uzumaki, and the others arrived one after another.

"There is only one rule for this exam: no cheating. Anyone caught will have their results for this exam canceled."

Beizawa said in a deep voice.

At nine in the morning, the written examination officially began.

Beizawa swept his gaze around.

Everyone had a different reaction.

Sasuke Uchiha and Shikamaru Nara were relatively relaxed, while Hinata Hyuga looked as though she were facing a great enemy and seemed nervous.

Naruto Uzumaki, meanwhile, scratched his head as he looked at the test paper, feeling as though his head was itchy and a brain was about to grow.

Apart from Beizawa's classes, he was fairly average in all the others.

Beizawa withdrew his gaze, took out his test paper, and began answering the questions.

Before doing so, however, he created two Shadow Clones and had them patrol the examination room.
