I Could Even Recommend You for the Anbu

The next second, an Ice Crystal suddenly appeared in midair. A masked ninja leaped out from within, kunai in hand, and viciously slashed at Hinata's neck!

Then Feng An saw the scene he feared most. His eyes nearly split apart as he shouted, "No!!"

Hinata looked confused. "Why is Feng An spinning...?"

The ninja removed his mask. Feng An saw the flawless face beneath it clearly—it was Haku.

Tilting his head, he smiled. "Feng An, I love you."

"!!!"

Feng An suffered a mental breakdown. His vision went black, and he immediately fainted.

The scene came to an abrupt end, and he collapsed stiffly onto the ground.

"Feng An!"

Hearing his cry, everyone hurriedly stopped training and rushed over.

Hinata arrived first and quickly activated her Byakugan to check on him. At the same time, she anxiously asked, "Kurenai, what happened to Feng An?"

Kurenai rubbed her little face. "Don't worry. He'll wake up soon."

Sure enough, Feng An regained consciousness not long after.

His face was pale. After opening his eyes, he blankly scanned his surroundings before quickly recovering his clarity.

So I'd fallen under an Illusion Technique just now. That was fucking terrifying.

"Feng An, you're awake?" Hinata lowered her head and looked at Feng An, who was lying on her lap, with a shy yet excited expression.

"Mm."

He looked up and saw that only Hinata's head was in his field of vision. His entire body trembled, and he jolted upright.

The scene from the Illusion Technique was still vivid in his mind.

He sucked in a breath and hurriedly sat up from Hinata's lap pillow.

When he had first transmigrated, he had thought about taking all the beautiful women in this world for himself. No one knew him anyway, so he could become Homelander and do whatever he wanted.

But he later realized that wasn't realistic, so he buried the thought deep in his heart. He never expected Kurenai's Illusion Technique to bring it out today and directly turn it into a harem Asura Field.

But even if I really did start one, gentle and kind Hinata wouldn't really do that to me, right?

After thinking about it a little more, he got goosebumps at the thought of Hinata speaking like a yandere.

It only strengthened his resolve. Hinata was his warm harbor.

He slowly reached out and took Hinata's small hand.

Hinata shyly lowered her head, but this time, she did not pull her hand away and simply let Feng An hold it.

"That was only the most basic mental attack Illusion Technique. You were immersed in it for so long. What did you see?"

Kurenai was rather curious. What kind of horrifying scene had this brat seen to remain trapped for so long? Those hit by this technique usually collapsed in the blink of an eye, yet he had actually stayed immersed in it for several seconds.

"You really want to know? It was very scary, Kurenai."

Kurenai nodded. He was just a brat. How could whatever he found terrifying possibly scare her?

Feng An then gestured for Kurenai to bring her ear closer.

He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I saw what Kurenai looks like wearing a swimsuit."

After saying that, he quickly grabbed Hinata's hand and ran off with her.

With Feng An holding her hand, Hinata turned completely shy and could only lower her head as she followed him.

Kurenai froze for a moment, then her expression changed. She had never imagined that this brat would say something like that.

"You little brat, stop right there! What kind of filthy nonsense is filling that tiny head of yours?!"

Kurenai leaped onto a tree and chased after Feng An.

The longer Kurenai chased from behind, the more shocked she became. Every time she accelerated, Feng An in front of her accelerated as well.

She was a jonin, yet she could not keep up with him—and he was even running while holding Hinata's hand!

Yesterday, she had judged his speed to be merely above that of a chunin. Today, it had already surpassed that of a jonin. It was truly terrifying.

If she had a pair of Byakugan, she would have been able to see the way Chakra was circulating through Feng An's body.

Feng An used Lightning Release Chakra to activate his body's cells, greatly increasing his movement speed. He had drawn inspiration from the Third Raikage's Nintaijutsu and taught himself the technique.

His control over Chakra was still somewhat lacking. He could only activate the cells in his legs when he needed speed, rather than achieve full-body Cell Activation like the Third Raikage and comprehensively raise his physical limits.

Kurenai knocked herself on the head.

"Wait, I'm an Illusion Technique user. Why am I competing with him in speed?"

"Huff, huff."

Feng An looked back and discovered that Kurenai was nowhere to be seen.

"Did she give up?"

"Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death."

Just as he muttered to himself, a thick tree suddenly burst out from where Feng An had landed.

Seeing this, Feng An was shocked. How could he not realize that he had fallen under Kurenai's Illusion Technique?

The great tree that had emerged from underground lifted him into the air. Before he could steady himself, several thick branches extended from the trunk and firmly bound him against it.

"Are you still running? It would have been one thing if you ran by yourself, but you even dragged Hinata along with you."

Kurenai emerged from the tree trunk and landed in front of him, rolling her eyes at him.

Hinata, who was panting heavily nearby, lowered her head and secretly glanced at Feng An from beneath her lashes.

That's right, why did Feng An pull me along when he ran? Was it instinctive, or was it...

Thinking of that, her face turned even redder. She covered it with her little hands and ran behind a tree to hide.

"But I was telling the truth."

Feng An helplessly spread his hands and took a step forward.

The illusory tree behind him instantly vanished.

Kurenai's brows twitched.

"How did you break it?"

"I just did this and that, and it came undone," Feng An said with a smile.

The first time he had been hit by the Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique, he had not realized he was under an Illusion Technique, which was why he had become immersed in it. This time, however, Kurenai's Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death had its distinctive tree restraint. Compared to mental attack-type Illusion Techniques, restraint-type Illusion Techniques like this were easier to dispel.

He only needed to disrupt the Chakra within his body or use pain as stimulation to break the Illusion Technique.

It definitely wasn't because he subconsciously wanted to stay immersed in the Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique that it had been so hard to break!

"You really are impossible to see through, brat."

Even Kurenai could not figure out whether he had talent for Illusion Techniques.

He had remained trapped for so long in the most basic Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique, yet he had easily neutralized her killing move.

Of course, she had held back. If an enemy had fallen under Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death, Kurenai would have killed them the moment she emerged from the tree trunk.

"Kurenai, can you teach me Illusion Techniques now?"

Of the Seven Attributes of Chakra Feng An possessed, there were only two for which he had yet to master related Ninjutsu.

One was Yin Release, and the other was Yang Release.

The most straightforward application of Yin Release Chakra transformation was Illusion Techniques.

Illusion Techniques were highly practical in actual combat. He had considered exploring them himself, but without the Sharingan, trying to figure out Illusion Techniques alone was like a blind man feeling an elephant.

Now that he had Kurenai, known as a master of Illusion Techniques, there was no harm in learning another skill.

The Chunin exam would begin before long. The more methods he had, the better he could protect himself and Hinata.

Kurenai smiled. "If a student is eager to learn, why would a teacher refuse to teach?"

"But Illusion Techniques are Ninjutsu involving a special nature transformation. They differ greatly from other conventional, more straightforward Ninjutsu."

Kurenai took out a small scroll and handed it to Feng An.

Feng An accepted the scroll, which was only as long as his forearm.

After opening it, he saw the techniques recorded within: Haze Servant Technique and Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique.

Confused, he asked, "Why are there only two Ninjutsu? And they're both D-rank, too."

Kurenai walked ahead and said calmly, "Don't underestimate them just because they're only D-rank. Even with a week, you'll find it difficult to even grasp the basics."

"What if I master both within a week?"

Kurenai smiled. "I'll give you two weeks. As long as you can master one of them, forget teaching you more difficult Illusion Techniques—even recommending you to Lord Hokage for the Anbu would be no problem."

Even Kurenai, who possessed extremely high talent for Illusion Techniques, had spent a full month mastering the simplest D-rank Illusion Technique.

For a genin who had never encountered Illusion Techniques before to claim he could master one in a week? It was not that she did not believe him. She simply thought it was impossible.
