Konoha Ninja, Let's Roll!

The next day, outside the Yūhi clan's home.

"Teacher Kyoichi? What brings you here!"

Kurenai Yuhi was surprised.

Kyoichi actually came to find her himself, it was simply unbelievable. She looked at Kyoichi's attire and wondered...

Was he here to invite her for early morning training?

"Is Senior Shinhō here?"

"Yes, Father, Teacher is looking for you..."

Kurenai Yuhi paused for a moment.

Looking for Father?

She didn't know what was going on, but without hesitation, she turned and shouted.

Yūhi Shinhō was not on a mission.

Hearing of Kyoichi's arrival, he was slightly surprised, but quickly appeared in the courtyard.

"Please come in, Teacher Kyoichi."

"Senior Shinhō, I've actually come to ask for your guidance on genjutsu."

"Oh? Teacher Kyoichi also studies genjutsu?"

Yūhi Shinhō was a little surprised.

Besides the Uchiha clan, not many in Konoha researched genjutsu. Most people's attitude towards genjutsu was – if it can be dispelled, knowing a few genjutsu is enough.

Few were willing to delve deep and seek guidance.

"I've had some thoughts recently."

"Teacher says his genjutsu isn't good, but his genjutsu is amazing. He has a swordsmanship technique that can make people hallucinate..."

Seeing Kyoichi's modesty, Kurenai Yuhi quickly spoke up for him.

Phantom Sword Style?

Yūhi Shinhō was very surprised.

The Second Hokage had also researched the Phantom Sword Style back then, but it seemed to have ended without success. Outsiders didn't know if he had succeeded, but could Kyoichi's Phantom Sword Style be created based on the Second Hokage's foundation?

After his surprise, his expression turned serious, and he said, "I have some books on genjutsu here..."

"No need, Senior Shinhō misunderstood. I just want you to help me test the effects of my genjutsu and give me some feedback. You are a genjutsu master in Konoha, so you were the first person I thought of."

Kyoichi knew Shinhō had misunderstood.

The other party probably thought he had come to ask for books, but he already had a preliminary plan and theoretical support for the fusion of the Phantom Sword Style, so he didn't need to read any books.

Now, he just needed to adjust based on the effects.

"My apologies, then please begin."

"Yes!"

Kyoichi glanced at the light, then suddenly adjusted his sword, drawing it from its sheath.

Instantly, a flash of light.

Yūhi Shinhō couldn't help but raise his hand to block the light, but after the momentary intense glare, he couldn't see clearly for a moment.

The sound of the sword returning to its sheath rang out.

He moved his hand away, paused for two seconds, then understood and said, "You're using your sword to reflect light, amplifying it into a strong glare with chakra, thereby creating genjutsu... No, this isn't genjutsu!"

Genjutsu could be dispelled quickly.

But.

This kind of intense glare, unless one avoided looking directly at it in that instant, was impossible to dispel.

Because it didn't belong to genjutsu.

"Yes, my Iaido is fast enough, it can blind them with the glare for an instant. But if the speed isn't fast enough, can I add the effect of genjutsu?"

"Genjutsu can be incorporated depending on the situation, for example... if I were wearing glasses, or if I looked at you with peripheral vision, the glare effect would be weakened."

Afterward, Yūhi Shinhō gave many suggestions.

He was indeed a genjutsu master; every suggestion was very useful.

Next, Kyoichi demonstrated a simplified version of "Willow" –

He swung the sword with its sheath, turned halfway, and drew his sword from left to right.

The same type of guiding genjutsu.

"The movements should be simplified further. The genjutsu guidance doesn't necessarily need to be through the sword; it can be through hand gestures, or it might not even need to be forced into swordsmanship. Sometimes, using genjutsu first and then drawing your sword is more effective."

Yūhi Shinhō didn't understand swordsmanship, but he understood how to use genjutsu to cooperate in combat, and his suggestions were very useful.

Kyoichi benefited greatly from his advice.

Kurenai listened intently from the side. Kyoichi's "Genjutsu" was different from what she had learned her entire life; it wasn't the same type at all, which she found very novel—

Genjutsu can be like this!

"Oh right, since you're here today, Kurenai, I want to confirm again, are you sure you want to learn Medical Ninjutsu?"

"Yes! I discussed it with Father, and he supports my decision."

Kurenai didn't hesitate.

Learning Medical Ninjutsu required a great deal of energy, but if she could learn it, it would undoubtedly be a huge help to the team. The opportunity was right in front of her, and she didn't want to miss it!

"Alright, I have a few books here you can look at. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me later."

Kyoichi handed her several basic medical books.

The content within these books was already covered in the "Basic Medical Ninjutsu" he had received as a system reward. He had already mastered it completely, so teaching Kurenai was not a problem.

Kurenai took them and glanced at the author, immediately surprised.

These were Tsunade's medical books!

"Thank you, Teacher!"

"This... this is..."

Kurenai's Father was even more astonished.

These were Tsunade's original books, with many copied notes on them.

He knew very well.

The Kanda family had no prior connection with Tsunade, so Kyoichi must have contacted Tsunade recently. Otherwise, where would he get Tsunade's medical books?

Incredible!

Kurenai's Father rejoiced inwardly.

Even though Tsunade wasn't personally teaching her, these books and notes were incredibly precious medical treasures in themselves, something ordinary people would never have the chance to obtain.

His daughter being assigned under Kanda Kyoichi was truly fortunate.

Kyoichi bid farewell to the father and daughter and left the Yūhi residence.

He still had training to do.

Although he had the Senju physique, it wasn't the Sage Body, so taijutsu training required perseverance.

After a run, Kyoichi felt a wave of emotion.

Under his leadership, the number of hardworking individuals in Konoha had clearly increased.

In the past, in the morning, he would see at most Might Duy and his son, Kakashi, and a few others.

But now...

Asuma, Shisui, and even Genma Shiranui, Ebisu, and others were out running, each panting but unwilling to stop and rest. They were all pushing themselves harder than the last.

Especially when Kyoichi passed by, they ran with all their might.

Moreover.

It wasn't just for a day or two; Kyoichi could basically see them every day.

They've really gotten into it!

His contribution was immense.

Without him, where would this prosperous era of ninja competition be?

Kyoichi felt emotional.

After returning from missions, they wouldn't get new missions for days.

There were too many teams taking on missions recently.

For the past few days, Kurenai had been studying the medical books. Kyoichi had guided her once, earning a wave of experience points for Mystical Palm Technique. Now, he could not only use Mystical Palm Technique for healing but also for offense.

As for Asuma and Shisui...

They were still practicing Vacuum Blade and Wind Release.

These two were like fat sheep.

With just a few pointers, he easily gained Vacuum Blade, a B-rank Ninjutsu!

As for Fire Release...

Kyoichi was powerless to help.

Passing by a tavern, Kyoichi saw Orochimaru and Jiraiya sitting together. Just as he was about to pretend he didn't see them and walk past, Jiraiya lifted the curtain from inside.

"Hey, young man from the Kanda family, want to have a drink together?"

Jiraiya held up his wine cup.

Kyoichi was helpless and walked over, saying, "I'm sorry, Lord Jiraiya, Lord Orochimaru, I don't drink."

"You don't drink?"

"No matter, if you don't drink, just eat something. Today was supposed to be a Sannin gathering, but unfortunately, Tsunade isn't here... Since you're here, you can just take Tsunade's place."

Orochimaru smiled faintly.

With the conversation reaching this point, Kyoichi couldn't refuse and had no choice but to sit down.
