Koyuki Kazahana

In the original story, the reason Koyuki Kazahana became involved in the acting industry was likely because she encountered this inspirational film titled Princess Gale Prequel during a moment of life-long confusion.

Watching Koyuki Kazahana hurry past, Uchiha Gen did not make any excessive moves. Primarily, Koyuki Kazahana was currently in a sensitive period, and Uchiha Gen himself was a celebrity figure in Konoha; any interaction between them would invite too much speculation. For Uchiha Gen, possessing strength meant he naturally had no fear of such ghosts and monsters.

However, Koyuki Kazahana was different. If something were to actually happen to her, the Daimyo of the Land of Snow, Dotō Kazahana, would not only fail to blame anyone, but would instead be ecstatic! Moreover, there was currently a Kurenai Yuhi nearby, watching her with unknown intentions!

Therefore, for the sake of safety, any contact with Koyuki Kazahana had to be conducted in the shadows! Regardless, in that very instant just now, he had already used his Sharingan to plant a psychological suggestion in Koyuki Kazahana! It was not a powerful Genjutsu that altered one's personal will, but rather a form of psychological guidance similar to hypnosis! It induced a sense of favor toward him and amplified it; in other words, this technique would have absolutely no effect on someone who felt no goodwill at all!

This technique was not some high-level Ninjutsu; it could only be considered a basic entry-level Genjutsu. After all, ninjas encountered all sorts of people while on missions, and the Ninja World was in a constant state of war, so the populace held deep wariness toward ninjas. There was no such thing as "the army and the people are like fish and water" in the Ninja World. Furthermore, when encountering people from hostile nations or war-torn countries, how else could one gain trust to extract intelligence?

Of course, one could simply cast a high-level Genjutsu and guarantee that the common folk would confess everything, but the problem was that every trade has its master; not every ninja knew high-level Genjutsu. At times like these, to cut into a relationship and fish for information, this simple, convenient low-level Genjutsu derived from ordinary hypnosis came in handy!

The reason for explaining so much was definitely not because Uchiha Gen, as an Uchiha, had only learned this kind of low-level Genjutsu! After all, the ocular technique Tsukuyomi counted as a type of high-level Genjutsu! How could one say he only knew low-level Genjutsu? Right?

At present, unless someone had ocular power superior to his own, an ordinary person would never notice! Uchiha Gen's proficiency in Genjutsu was very low—one could say he had no talent for it—but as the saying goes, "brute force can overcome technique." With nearly ten million points of ocular power and the Mangekyo as support, even the simplest low-level Genjutsu had surprisingly good effects!

That young man just now had such a handsome smile! Judging by his attire, he seems to be from the Uchiha clan, the number one noble family of Konoha. It would be nice to have a chance to get to know him! With this thought in mind, Koyuki Kazahana looked back at Uchiha Gen with a hint of shyness, as if she wanted to deeply engrave Uchiha Gen's face into her mind!

"Gen, do we need to buy some snacks to take in with us?" Kurenai Yuhi suggested, looking at the various snack stalls at the entrance of the cinema. Kurenai Yuhi herself did not actually like snacks; she was, in fact, a heavy drinker! This point was mentioned in the original work!

However, she was currently not in control of herself. With an elite Jonin proficient in Genjutsu manipulating everything from the shadows, Kurenai Yuhi's current consciousness was in a completely muddled state, and her actions were entirely beyond her own control!

This was quite similar to how Uchiha Itachi used Genjutsu in the original story to control two beautiful women to seduce the perverted sage Jiraiya!

"No need. I don't like eating snacks while watching movies. Let's go in; the movie is about to start," Uchiha Gen refused casually. There was absolutely nothing unusual to be seen in Kurenai Yuhi's demeanor, and his chakra perception confirmed it was indeed Kurenai Yuhi herself. The problem was that Kurenai Yuhi herself would basically never do something like this!

How exactly did Hiruzen Sarutobi convince Kurenai Yuhi to do this? One had to know that Konoha's female ninjas were very proud. Aside from those in Root who lacked autonomy, other female ninjas could refuse such seduction missions!

Root? Could it be that that dog Danzo used some secret technique?

Forget it, there were too many eyes here; let's go inside first.

Entering the lobby, it was already packed with people. The two found their corresponding seats and sat down.

Before long, the movie began, and the noisy chatter in the theater gradually turned into whispers.

"Gen-kun, what have you been busy with lately?"

"Nothing much. I took the time to move into a new place, and I've been busy with renovations lately! It's actually quite boring, since I'm not a registered ninja and don't need to accept missions issued by the village! I even resigned from my job at the Police Force, so I'm currently an unemployed drifter, relaxing at home!"

"Ah, I'm so envious of your life, Gen-kun. Unlike us, whenever the team leader goes on a mission, I'm forced to assemble. But since you're unemployed at home, how do you manage your living expenses? If you're short on funds, I have some assets I can support you with!" Kurenai Yuhi said, seizing the moment to draw closer.

Heh, I never thought I'd have a day where I'd be a kept man, but this meal is clearly poisoned. It seems Kurenai Yuhi's current performance is indeed not her own intention, but it doesn't matter. I'll just take the opportunity to play dumb and beat them at their own game!

"Kurenai, you're being so good to me—could it be that you like me?" Uchiha Gen looked at the young girl before him with a teasing expression.

"Then~ would you accept me, Gen-kun?" Kurenai Yuhi looked at the man before her with flushed cheeks and hopeful eyes.

"Of course I would. After all, you're so beautiful, Kurenai; I have no reason to refuse!" Uchiha Gen followed her lead.

"Then are we boyfriend and girlfriend now?" Kurenai asked with shallow, rapid breaths.

"Of course. From this moment on, Kurenai, you are my, Uchiha Gen's, woman. No one can take you away from me!" Uchiha Gen gave a wicked smile. The words were out there now; he wasn't the type to force a sale.

It was Kurenai Yuhi who had taken the initiative to confess to him; as for what happened after she regained consciousness, that couldn't be blamed on him! After all, it was her own initiative, and he, Uchiha Gen, simply couldn't bear to refuse a girl bravely pursuing love! What did he do wrong?

However, since the goal had been achieved, he couldn't be bothered to keep acting with the mastermind behind the scenes. Regarding this type of seduction technique, Uchiha Gen was well-acquainted with it in both his past and present lives—it was nothing more than a tragic drama of falling in love over time only to be stabbed in the back!

One could write a 72-episode romantic suspense drama out of this whole thing, but he didn't have the time to waste with them! If the readers next door saw it, they'd think he was just padding the word count! Therefore, the details of the situation will be skipped over here.

On the screen, the plot reached its climax. With a tear-jerking speech, Princess Gale successfully won over a large group of lackeys with her unique charisma, laying a deep foundation for the restoration of her country in the next dozen years of the plot!

"Princess Gale really is a woman with unique charm!" Kurenai Yuhi watched the heroic Princess Gale on the screen with glowing eyes.
