"But... I lost to you."
Kurenai lowered her head, muttering softly, her voice filled with deep unwillingness.
Her curled black hair shimmered faintly in the sunlight, and her red eyes flickered with light, clearly hiding some grievances.
"This doesn't mean you won't grow in the future. Maybe you can win next time? After all, Sharingan isn't invincible."
Kiyoshi continued to comfort her for the sake of the possibility of getting another trait.
Of course, Sharingan is not invincible.
For the advancement of the Sharingan, the number of tomoes must be continuously increased until they reflect the power of one's own heart.
Different Mangekyos have different appearances.
As long as you awaken the Mangekyo, different fragments will combine together to form different patterns.
And the Mangekyo Sharingan is precisely about using the fragments of your own heart to construct your own pattern.
The heart and spirit actually refer to the power of Yin Release.
The Uchiha clan had inherited this Yin Release power from the Sage of Six Paths, passing it down through their bloodline for generations.
Hearing Kiyoshi's words, Kurenai's eyes flickered, and her complexion improved a lot.
"Okay, Kiyoshi, I will definitely prove myself!"
Kurenai raised her head, her voice filled with rare determination, and a small flame ignited in her childish red eyes.
Kurenai's father is Yuhi Shinku. Shinku's genjutsu is indeed considered powerful among Konoha's jonin.
There are even rumors that his genjutsu is stronger than the genjutsu of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
However, this has not been indicated in either the manga or the anime.
He should be strong, but his genjutsu probably hasn't reached that level.
If his genjutsu was stronger than that of the Mangekyo Sharingan, he wouldn't have died during the Nine-Tails attack.
Besides, how many Mangekyo Sharingan are there in the entire ninja world?
Did Yuhi Shinku ever face Madara or any other Mangekyo wielder?
Fugaku had only awakened the Mangekyo in the anime original, not in the manga.
Now that this world has turned into reality, Kiyoshi doesn't know which one to follow.
But what is certain is that in the anime, Fugaku didn't even tell Mikoto about his Mangekyo Sharingan, hiding it until the last moment.
He wanted to wait until he had full confidence before using the Mangekyo Sharingan to control Nine-Tails.
In the end, without doing anything at all, he willingly died at Itachi's hands.
Hearing Kiyoshi's comforting words, Kurenai felt much better.
After all, Kurenai is just a child with a certain sense of pride. She doesn't like to admit defeat and wants to prove herself.
Kiyoshi saw this from her firm gaze, but didn't say much.
He just nodded lightly, with a meaningful smile on his lips.
The stronger the better.
Let me see if you can bring me new traits after you become stronger.
"Ahem! Kurenai, what I actually wanted to express was..."
Asuma noticed that the situation seemed a bit off and quickly stood up to speak.
He wanted to salvage what he had just said. Unfortunately, Kurenai didn't speak and just left.
Seeing this, Asuma knew that Kurenai was angry. He scratched his head, and quickly chased after her, wanting to coax her.
Seeing the two leave, Kiyoshi didn't leave with them, instead continuing to stay here to train.
There are many parts that Lightning Release: Iron Skin cannot be used to train, such as deeper muscles, bones, internal organs, etc.
Kiyoshi has to work hard on these places himself. He ran to a relatively calm river and started running on the water.
Ordinary running is only beneficial to physical training.
In contrast, running on water can not only help hone chakra control, but also exercise the body.
It is basically killing two birds with one stone. But this kind of practice causes Chakra to be consumed very quickly.
If it weren't for Kiyoshi's large chakra reserve, he would be panting in no time and feeling tired all day.
Kiyoshi dragged his sweaty body towards home. Before long, he found a red figure standing at the door.
Why is she here again?
Kiyoshi didn't know why, but everyone seemed to know the location of his home.
Kakashi had found his home.
Now, Kurenai had also done the same, even though he had never told anyone about the location of his home.
"Are you ready to prove yourself again?" Kiyoshi said indifferently.
According to normal development, shouldn't Kurenai go through a period of hard training, and then come back to challenge him after a while, and incidentally drop some traits for him?
Kurenai said, "I... I want to exchange insights on genjutsu with you. Although I've practiced it, I'm still lacking in theory. Your theoretical knowledge shouldn't be bad either. This way, I can become stronger faster."
Kurenai was holding a scroll in her hand, obviously wanting to exchange ideas with Kiyoshi.
"I'm planning to do some odd jobs in my spare time recently, like carrying plates in a sushi restaurant, so I don't have much time." Kiyoshi frowned slightly and said.
His precious time can't be wasted on Kurenai.
Kurenai doesn't have a mature figure like Samui that can make Kiyoshi's pupil power react.
So, spending too much time with her is of no use to him.
"Is Kiyoshi very short on money?"
She didn't know that Kiyoshi had this trouble. He was even preparing to go out and do odd jobs.
"I can... I can give you tuition fees. I only brought a little money with me, but there's more at home."
Kurenai hurriedly rummaged through the money she had in her pockets, and opened her hands to take a look.
The amount was not small, about eight hundred ryo.
Shinku is very good to Kurenai, and always stuffs her with a lot of pocket money.
"After thinking about it carefully, I really like exchanging insights on genjutsu. After all, this is good for both of us. Kurenai, please come in."
Kiyoshi's lips slightly curved and he opened the door, letting Kurenai follow.
Since there is money, there's no need to think any longer. He needs money to buy ninja tools.
Kurenai is an only daughter, so Kiyoshi estimated that he should be able to squeeze a lot of money out of her.
At least, getting enough money to buy a small katana should be no problem.
And this is money earned through legitimate channels. So, he won't have to worry about investigation.
Kurenai took a few steps and asked hesitantly.
She hadn't expect Kiyoshi to really agree.
"Of course, Kurenai. I'll tell you some of my understanding of genjutsu now..."
Kiyoshi wiped away his sweat and began to explain to Kurenai.
Taking some time to exchange insights on genjutsu is actually a way to consolidate his own knowledge.
Now, Kiyoshi was looking at Kurenai as if she was some type of ATM, or rather, an ATM that gives him both traits and money.
The evening dusk projected in from the window, illuminating a golden color.
Kurenai nodded from time to time, listening attentively.
Kurenai had pre-paid Kiyoshi for the next three months. So, he was finally able to afford a used small katana.
Standing in the courtyard, the wind gently rolled up the leaves on the ground.
Kiyoshi's black eyes stared at the leaves, and his left hand slightly tightened around the scabbard.
A bigger gust of wind blew past.
