Ren watched for a long time before slowly retracting his Sharingan.
Yakumo's mother could no longer hold herself back.
"Clan Head Ren, how is Yakumo?"
"It isn't that she lacks talent."
Ren looked at the Kurama couple.
"On the contrary, she has been blessed with too much talent."
Everyone froze.
Ren continued, "The spiritual power stored within Yakumo's consciousness far surpasses that of ordinary ninja, both in quantity and intensity."
"It is even stronger than mine was when I was young."
Kakashi's expression changed at once.
Kurenai Yuhi also revealed an incredulous look.
The entire Shinobi World had witnessed just how powerful Ren's control over spiritual power and ocular techniques had become.
Yet Yakumo's spiritual power as a child had actually surpassed Ren's?
Kurama Murakumo was both shocked and delighted.

"That's right."
Ren gave an affirmative answer.
"There is also an undeveloped source of spiritual power deep within her mind."
"That is the core of the Kurama Kekkei Genkai."
"It can strengthen genjutsu, allowing Yakumo to control a target's five senses. Once it reaches a certain level, illusions created by the mind can even affect reality in turn."
The Kurama couple's breathing visibly quickened.
Yakumo raised her head as well, and a few traces of anticipation returned to her pale face.
But Ren's next words rapidly sank everyone's hearts.
"The problem lies there as well."
"Her body is too weak."
"Yet her spiritual power is too strong."
"The two are completely mismatched."
Ren pointed at Kurenai Yuhi.
"Kurenai Yuhi's talent for genjutsu is already outstanding in Konoha."
"But Yakumo's spiritual power surpasses hers by several times at the very least, in both quantity and quality."
Kurenai Yuhi's pupils suddenly contracted.
The joy that had just appeared on
