Kurenai Yuhi walked at the head of the group, keeping watch over their surroundings. Outside Konoha's borders, nowhere was completely safe.
Many Shinobi died because of their own carelessness.
Zhou Cheng caught up with Kurenai Yuhi, putting on an eager, inquisitive expression.
"Sensei, I want to learn genjutsu!"
Kurenai's brow furrowed slightly. Genjutsu specialists were just as rare as sensory Shinobi.
Sensory Shinobi were rare because sensing abilities could not be developed through training. They had to be innate.
Many people with a talent for sensing were often considered to have no aptitude for becoming Shinobi. In the end, they chose to remain ordinary people and live out unremarkable lives.
Genjutsu also demanded considerable talent. On top of that, many Shinobi dismissed it, believing it was less powerful than Ninjutsu and Taijutsu.
Even those with a talent for genjutsu would choose to study Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, abandoning genjutsu.
Across the entire Naruto World, how many powerful Shinobi had risen to prominence through genjutsu?
Kurenai thought Zhou Cheng was merely talking. Surely he would not take time away from his training to study genjutsu.
Besides, she had never heard that Zhou Cheng had any aptitude for it.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course. I'm very interested in genjutsu. I don't think it's any weaker than Ninjutsu or Taijutsu!"
Only then did Kurenai nod. She decided to teach Zhou Cheng some basic genjutsu theory first to see whether he had any talent for it.
Zhou Cheng understood everything after hearing it once and mastered it as soon as she taught him. He could even offer insights of his own.
This astonished Kurenai, so she taught him some more advanced genjutsu theory. Shinobi without the necessary talent would have only a vague understanding by this point.
He had a talent for genjutsu, too?
