Three-Tomoe Sharingan: This Is the Legend of Eyes

Time was like a swing; with a gentle sway, it leaped from late March to early June.

Over these past two months, the newly graduated genin of the 60th class had been carrying out all kinds of D-Rank Missions.

These D-Rank Missions all involved helping villagers handle various trivial matters.

Either babysitting, helping with farm work, clearing trash from drainage ditches, and so on...

The pay for these missions was extremely low, and more than half of it had to be split among the village, the Jonin Instructor, and their teammates.

Anyone without patience would definitely find it incredibly irritating.

Like Team 7, who had just graduated and were already fantasizing about protecting dignitaries of the Land of Fire or battling powerful enemies.

As for Team 8, they diligently did whatever work was assigned to them.

That was because Ryusuke and the others knew that these D-Rank Missions not only tempered their state of mind, but also improved the team's coordination.

So neither Ryusuke nor Hinata used Shadow Clones to carry out D-Rank Missions. They did everything personally.

Moreover, unlike the slacker Kakashi Hatake, Yuhi Kurenai, who was serving as a Jonin Instructor for the first time, cared deeply about her students.

Every time Ryusuke and the others completed a mission, Yuhi Kurenai taught them techniques that genin were expected to learn.

For example, tree climbing and water walking, which Ryusuke and Hinata had already mastered.

Then, she tested the Chakra Attributes of the three of them.

Finally, she took out a Genjutsu Scroll, wanting to see whether the three possessed the Yin Attribute.

After doing all this...

Yuhi Kurenai treasured Ryusuke even more as her student.

She even had the feeling that Ryusuke was the perfect student Heaven had bestowed upon her, someone capable of inheriting the Yuhi Clan's legacy.

That was because neither Aburame Shino nor Hinata had the aptitude to learn genjutsu, which meant neither possessed Yin Attribute Chakra.

Other than the fundamentals of being a ninja, Yuhi Kurenai, who specialized only in genjutsu, had nothing left to teach them.

As for their clan's ninja techniques, Yuhi Kurenai was even less qualified to offer advice.

Only Ryusuke had learned the Genjutsu Scroll Yuhi Kurenai had taken out in just one day.

That meant Ryusuke not only possessed Yin Attribute Chakra, but also had exceptional talent for genjutsu.

Thus, Yuhi Kurenai began cultivating Ryusuke with all her strength, giving him extra lessons every day right in front of Aburame Shino and Hinata.

Over these past two months, Ryusuke's strength had also improved enormously.

First was his mastery of genjutsu, which had risen from nothing to surpassing everyone in his class.

Even if he used only genjutsu, Ryusuke was confident he could defeat the Konoha 12.

Because his Sharingan had finally evolved into the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

All of this was thanks to the Genjutsu Expert talent.

Genjutsu was Yin Release ninjutsu, while the Sharingan was a Yin Release Kekkei Genkai, also known as the eye of genjutsu.

But before it evolved to three tomoe, the Sharingan was merely an eye of insight and an eye of copying.

The Sharingan that made the Uchiha Clan famous throughout the Shinobi World, nearly invincible in one-on-one combat, was the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

As for the Mangekyō Sharingan, that was a legendary eye.

Every Uchiha who developed the Three-Tomoe Sharingan to its limits was an Elite Jonin, a Genjutsu Expert, and the nemesis of genjutsu.

This Kekkei Genkai was simply too overpowered. No hand seals were needed; a single glance could unknowingly pull someone into the world of genjutsu.

If the opponent was a genjutsu ninja, then unless their Yin Release Chakra was stronger than the Uchiha's, the Uchiha's Sharingan came with innate genjutsu reflection.

In the original story, Yuhi Kurenai had been taught a lesson by Uchiha Itachi's genjutsu reflection.

That was precisely why a ninja who was not skilled at breaking genjutsu, or lacked methods to counter it, was effectively giving up a pair of eyes before fighting someone from the Uchiha Clan.

That was more fatal than giving up half a health bar in a game.

Because in reality, being hit by a killing move meant truly dying.

Perhaps it was because, while learning genjutsu, Ryusuke had grown increasingly skilled at controlling Yin Release Chakra, causing his brain to secrete more Yin Release Chakra.

Thus, his Sharingan, already at a bottleneck, naturally evolved into the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

Once the Sharingan evolved into the stage of the eye of genjutsu, Ryusuke's already transformed talent for genjutsu became as though he had cheats enabled.

Not only did he master the ninjutsu Yuhi Kurenai taught him with ease, but if he wanted to, Ryusuke could even cast them without hand seals.

Once Ryusuke fully mastered the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, his mastery of genjutsu would completely surpass Yuhi Kurenai's.

That was the difference between ordinary people and cheaters. That was the legend of eyes!

Rock Lee from the original story understood that feeling best.

Besides his strength, Ryusuke's relationship with Hinata had also improved by leaps and bounds over these two months.

Every day after completing their missions, Ryusuke invited Hinata to his home to train.

Although Hinata was extremely shy, she never refused.

At first, Ryusuke had been very restrained and gentlemanly, merely acting as Hinata's sparring partner.

Once Hinata gradually grew accustomed to being alone with Ryusuke, Ryusuke, who called himself a "Raising Master," began his own training regimen.

During taijutsu sparring, it was no longer simply countering each move and stopping at the right point.

Instead, it gradually became ruleless. Then Ryusuke secretly activated his Sharingan, caught all of Hinata's openings, used skillful force to make her commit various mistakes, and created all sorts of intimate hugging encounters.

Ryusuke's training was also highly effective.

At first, Hinata would instantly turn into a steam princess and even faint.

But because Ryusuke never went any further, Hinata gradually adapted and developed an immunity to such intimate hugging.

After every training session, Hinata stayed at Ryusuke's house for dinner.

At home, she could not really let herself go. Her younger sister and father still did not know about her enormous appetite.

Only Ryusuke prepared large amounts of food for her.

And only in front of Ryusuke could Hinata eat without restraint.

However, having learned from the first time, whenever Hinata came to Ryusuke's house, she created a Shadow Clone to help Ryusuke's Shadow Clone.

Since Ryusuke also paid for all the ingredients, Hinata, who always ate the most, gave Ryusuke the payment from every mission as well.

Ryusuke did not refuse.

After graduating from the Ninja Academy, the village had stopped providing his pension.

Having yet to undertake any High-Level Missions, the money Ryusuke earned each day was not enough for one of Hinata's meals.

Thus, Ryusuke and Hinata began living a "married" life ahead of schedule.

Whenever she helped Ryusuke clean, Hinata also washed his clothes.

Whenever that happened, Ryusuke praised Hinata for being so virtuous and said she would definitely become a good wife in the future, making the young girl blush crimson and work even harder under the PUA.

Fortunately, after Hinata graduated, Hyuga Hiashi had turned his attention to his more talented younger daughter. He did not know that after every mission, Hinata went to a boy's house for dinner, helped him clean, and washed his clothes.

Otherwise, Ryusuke would likely have drawn the attention of an Elite Jonin.

Their happy daily lives passed quickly.

One day, at nine in the morning.

Team 8 gathered as usual at their usual spot, waiting for Yuhi Kurenai.

Whoosh—

Yuhi Kurenai was as punctual as ever, appearing before Ryusuke and the other two in a Body Flicker.

But her next words made all three of their eyes light up. "You have performed very well during this time, and every mission has earned praise from the clients."

"So I have decided to take you to receive higher-level missions today."
