The three of them walked and stopped along the main street. Anko was responsible for eating and drinking, Kurenai Yuhi was responsible for choosing and looking, and Senju Chen was responsible for paying.
There is a clear division of labor and everyone performs their duties.
Standard tool configuration.
When they reached an alley selling stationery and ninja tools, Kurenai Yuhi suddenly stopped.
Her eyes fell on the display window of a shop, where there were several good-quality drawing boards with sets of paints and brushes next to them.
"What's wrong?" Senju Chen followed her line of sight and looked over.
Kurenai Yuhi hesitated for a moment and walked into the store.
Anko followed in while chewing on the newly bought matcha balls, with a curious look on his face. "You want to buy a drawing board? Hong, when did you become interested in painting?"
"It's not for me." Kurenai Yuhi took a wooden drawing board from the shelf and rubbed it lightly with his fingers, "It's for one of my students."
"Student? Kurama Clan's one?" Anko raised his eyebrows.
Kurenai Yuhi nodded, with a soft but somewhat complicated look on his face.
"Yakumo is a very talented child, especially Genjutsu. It can be said that... he is the most talented child I have ever seen."
Having said this, Kurenai Yuhi's tone paused.
"But she has never been in good health and cannot train normally like other children. So she spends most of her time at home. Her biggest hobby is painting."
She picked up the drawing board and flipped through it, finally choosing a birch board with a fine texture.
"When I went to see her last time, I found that her original drawing board had been worn out of shape, so I happened to pass by today and give her a new one."
Anko nodded, not showing much interest in this topic. His attention was quickly attracted by a strange-looking Kunai on the shelf next door.
But Senju Chen stood there and did not move.
Draw!
These two words were like a key, "clicking", opening a long-dusted memory file deep in his mind.
He had thought this name was familiar before.
Kurenai Yuhi mentioned that he had a talented student at home, but at that time Senju Chen just listened casually and didn't think much about it.
But now - "Kurama Clan", "Genjutsu talent", "physically weak", especially the information "likes to draw".
After these keywords were put together, Senju Chen felt like a puzzle was put into place in his mind, and Senju Chen finally remembered who Kurenai Yuhi's apprentice was.
Kurama Yakumo.
Kurama Clan, one of the ancient clans of Konoha, inherited from Genjutsu.
Although this family is now lonely, after several generations, the Genjutsu genius Kurama Yakumo emerged. Even later, this girl's Ninjutsu can no longer be described as "Genjutsu".
Because her Genjutsu can become a reality.
It's not the kind of "illusion" that creates illusions, but the literal sense of "putting pen to paper and making it come true."
Drawing flames is a fire that can truly burn everything. Drawing a blade is a sharp weapon that can truly cut flesh and blood. Genjutsu materializes, which is one of the top abilities in Shinobi World, but with Kurama Yakumo, it can even be said to be another form of "creation".
It's a pity that God gave her incredible mental strength, but he didn't give her a body that could carry this kind of strength. Her body has been extremely weak since birth, and she cannot carry out any high-intensity Taijutsu training. She even needs people to take care of her in daily life.
But what really makes Kurama Yakumo a "problem" is not her body.
It's another "self" lurking deep in her consciousness - Ido.
The so-called Ido is an independent personality formed by the overwhelming spiritual power of Kurama Yakumo condensed in her subconscious. It has no moral values, no restraints, only the instinct of destruction and killing.
In the original work, it was this Ido who lost control when Yakumo was young and burned her biological parents to death.
The teacher responsible for training Yakumo at that time was none other than Kurenai Yuhi.
After Kurenai Yuhi discovered the existence of Ido, she made a difficult decision - she cooperated with Third at the time, which was also Hiruzen Sarutobi, and sealed Kurama Yakumo's ability.
But Kurama Yakumo didn't know about this.
In Kurama Yakumo's opinion, her most trusted teacher abandoned her and deemed her a waste with no future.
This created an irreparable rift between master and disciple.
Senju Chen's thoughts are racing rapidly.
Kurama Yakumo, Genjutsu manifested, physically weak.
Putting these three labels in front of others is an unsolvable problem.
But in front of him?
Senju Chen The corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Are you weak? In his experimental base, even your broken limbs can be grown back for you. Isn't it just a physical problem that can be solved at your fingertips?
What's more, the talent of Genjutsu at the level of Kurama Yakumo...
If you can condition her body well and give her systematic training, this will be a walking weapon of mass destruction, and its physical superpower is no worse than Tailed Beast.
Genjutsu has the ability to manifest itself, and with a strong enough body as a carrier, Kurama Yakumo's upper limit may not even be imagined by herself.
I just don't know if she has given birth to "Ido" now.
However, this is not an unsolvable matter.
"Chen-kun? What are you thinking about?" Kurenai Yuhi's voice pulled him out of his thoughts.
Senju Chen came back to his senses, looked at the drawing board already wrapped in Kurenai Yuhi's hand, smiled and asked a seemingly casual question.
"Hong, that student of yours...Kurama Yakumo, how old is she now?"
Kurenai Yuhi was slightly startled, not expecting that Senju Chen would take the initiative to ask about this.
"I am twelve years old this year." She paused, seeming to consider her words.
Senju Chen took the drawing board from her hand and held it in her hand naturally, "She Genjutsu is very talented?"
Kurenai Yuhi was silent for a moment and nodded.
"It's not just high." Her voice was very soft, "It's the kind of... high that's beyond common sense."
"Then I need to see something." Senju Chen said in a relaxed tone, "I am quite curious about a child who can be praised by you as 'beyond common sense'."
"You want to see her?" Kurenai Yuhi was a little surprised.
Senju Chen shook the drawing board in his hand, "Just in time, let's go deliver the drawing board together and save you the trouble of making a trip yourself. Maybe I can help you check on her physical condition, after all..."
He pointed at himself, looking humble.
"I still have some research in the medical field."
Hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi looked at Senju Chen with complicated eyes for a while.
Of course she knows the level of Senju Chen's "Yidiudiu research" in medical treatment - Maruboshi Kosuke's newly grown left foot is now known to all Konoha.
If Senju Chen can really help Yakumo look at his body...
"Okay, okay!" Anko came over at some point and put his arm around Kurenai Yuhi's shoulders, "Let's go for a walk! I also want to see what Hong's little apprentice looks like!"
Kurenai Yuhi finally nodded slightly.
"Then let's go together."
