Hokage, no one knows better than me how to cultivate talent.

Chapter 124 The Famous Ninja with the Surname Lu

But she has read almost all of the reference books at home.

In her mind, whether it's a genjutsu ninja, a taijutsu ninja, a medical ninja, or any other type of ninja, they all need a normal body to fight their enemies.

"A famous ninja named Lu once said," Qiu Shui solemnly quoted a classic text, "There was originally no road on the ground, but as more people walked on it, it became a road."

"? Is there such a person?" Yakumo Kurama tilted his head, looking completely bewildered. "I've never heard of him before."

"That's because you haven't read enough books," Qiu Shui said without changing her expression.

"Teacher Akisui, thank you." Kurama Yakumo was silent for a while, then gently shook her head. "But I know my health condition hasn't improved over the years; in fact, it's gotten worse. My clan has invited many people to treat me, and now even Lady Tsunade has come. I know you're lying to me, but I'm still very happy."

"Yakumo, what the teacher said is true, how could he possibly be lying to you?" Shusui clutched her chest, feigning heartbreak. "Besides, does the teacher seem like the kind of person who would lie?"

"Oh dear, Akisui-sensei, that's not what I meant," Kurama Yakumo explained慌张地, but then suddenly froze, her eyes wide as she looked up sharply. "Akisui-sensei? What you just said... you weren't lying to me? There really is a way for me to go back to school and become a ninja again?"

"Of course." Qiushui lowered her hand from her chest and looked at her seriously. "Teacher never lies. Although you can't become an ordinary genjutsu ninja, you can become a special type of genjutsu ninja who is even more powerful than an ordinary genjutsu ninja."

"Special type?"

Kurama Yakumo felt like her little brain couldn't quite process what was happening.

She can't even become a regular genjutsu ninja, so how could she become a special type of genjutsu ninja?

"Most genjutsu can only affect sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, which means they cause damage on a mental level. That's why ordinary genjutsu ninjas need a healthy body to finish off enemies after they've fallen into a genjutsu," Qiushui patiently explained. "But you're different. The genjutsu you use can not only cause mental damage but also directly affect reality, causing physical damage."

When Qiushui watched the TV version of the anime, he felt that Yakumo Kurama's bloodline limit was ridiculously outrageous.

Even the Tsukuyomi used by Kishimoto's favorite son, Itachi Uchiha, can only cause mental damage.

The illusion technique used by Yakumo Kurama can actually directly affect reality.

When Tsunade was Hokage, the Hokage Building was burned down by Kurama Yakumo using genjutsu.

If 99% of illusions target the mind directly and bypass the five senses, it's like a hacker attacking a computer's CPU.

Kurama Yakumo's basic ability is to first hack the keyboard, mouse, and screen, and then use fake input signals to deceive CP.

U refers to the signal transmission channel, not the CPU itself.

When Yakumo Kurama used Ido, it could no longer be called illusion; it was reality distortion. She directly modified the computer's hardware and source code.

Qiu Shui estimates that Kishimoto felt this ability was too overpowered, which is why he didn't give her another chance to appear later.

"But... Akisui-sensei." Kurama Yakumo's voice pulled him back from his thoughts, "Every time I use my bloodline limit, my body feels uncomfortable. Although I really want to become a ninja, I don't want to do anything to hurt people anymore."

Looking at her sincere expression, Qiu Shui thought she was a truly kind child.

If it were Orochimaru, he wouldn't hesitate for a second. For Orochimaru, hurting people is something he does without any psychological burden, as casually as eating and drinking for an ordinary person.

"Yakumo, may I see some of your recent paintings?" Shusui didn't answer directly, but instead changed the subject and asked in a gentle tone.

Kurama Yakumo remained silent for a moment, a hesitant look on his face, but finally nodded slowly.

She turned around, picked up a stack of paintings from beside the easel, held them in both hands, and carefully handed them to Qiu Shui.

"Thank you." Qiu Shui took the paintings, squatted down, and carefully examined each one.

The first painting depicts a person, but that person has no face; the space for facial features is blank, replaced by a chaotic black vortex, as if something is crawling out from there.

The second painting is simple: a girl in purple stands on a wasteland. Behind her is an endless darkness, and at her feet is a fork in the road. One road leads to the light, and the other leads to the abyss. The girl stands at the crossroads, motionless, and her face and choice are unclear.

The image on the third drawing made Qiu Shui's pupils shrink slightly.

It was a tall, emaciated humanoid demon, its body stretched to the point of being deformed, its entire body a mixture of deep purple and dark red, as if it were a monster crawling out of the deepest nightmare.

It has no clear facial features, or rather, its features are distorted and empty, leaving only a few dark holes. It has irregular horns on its head, as if they were squeezed out of its flesh and bones. Its fingers and toes are unusually sharp, like claws, full of inhuman eeriness and oppression. Its body surface is covered with raised patterns that resemble blood vessels or tree roots, densely packed, making one's scalp tingle.

Qiu Shui stared at the painting, her brows furrowing slightly.

If I remember correctly, this seems to be Ido's image.

Moreover, judging from the level of detail in this image, it has clearly existed in her subconscious for a long time, but it has not yet taken concrete form.

"Yakumo, don't you feel there's something wrong with these paintings?" After looking at all the paintings below, Shusui looked up and asked her seriously.

"Shusui-sensei, I think it's drawn quite well. I don't see any problems." Kurama Yakumo picked up the painting, examined it carefully for a while, and then said with a blank look.

"Didn't you notice that the colors in your paintings are rather dark, and the figures are rather distorted? They make people feel uncomfortable at first glance, don't they?" Qiu Shui patiently explained. "Of course, I'm not saying that your paintings are bad, but I suggest that you try to change the subject matter when you paint."

"Then what content should I change to?" Kurama Yakumo thought Shusui's words made a lot of sense and asked seriously.

"I'll tell you what to draw later." Qiu Shui stood up and extended her hand to her. "Let's go over and discuss your future accommodation with your parents first."

"?" Kurama Yakumo paused for a moment, then a look of shock crossed her face. "Can I... move out?"

Since her health problems started, her parents have refused to let her move out, let alone leave the manor.

"It should be fine." Qiu Shui smiled and led her out of the studio.

The two arrived at the conference room.

Shusui explained in detail to Tsunade and the others his ideas on training Kurama Yakumo into a special type of genjutsu ninja, as well as his suggestion to have her move to a different place to live.

"Qiushui, I feel that your idea is very good and has a high chance of being realized." Yuhi Kurenai was the first to express her support.

As a genjutsu ninja, she knew better than anyone how powerful Kurama Yakumo's genjutsu was.

She herself had previously fallen into the mindset of a typical genjutsu ninja, but now that she heard what Qiushui said, she felt that it was very feasible.

"Wouldn't moving out be inconvenient?" Kurama Rin asked with concern. "What if Yakumo's emotions get upset?"

"The Kurama clan's territory is luxurious, but it's too desolate." Kurenai Yuhi said seriously, recalling what Shusui had said last time. "Moreover, Yakumo living alone for a long time will be very depressing for her. As for where she lives, you don't need to worry, she can live with me."

"This...it's too much trouble for you, Red Jonin," Kurama Rin said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's no trouble at all." Kurenai Yuhi waved her hand. "Anyway, I live alone, and I quite like Yakumo."

"To avoid any accidents," Qiu Shui continued, "we can draw a sense-soothing barrier on the walls of the room to reduce external stimuli and prevent the illusion from being triggered accidentally."

"We could also ask the Third Hokage to set up a soft seal around Yakumo's mental world, without suppressing her abilities, but simply adding an emotion monitoring technique to the seal. When Yakumo's negative emotions exceed a certain threshold, it will automatically issue an alert."

Although his proposed plan is unlikely to encounter any unexpected situations, it's better to be safe than sorry.

It's always good to have a backup plan.

"I am so grateful to you for helping me with Yakumo this time, Akisui." Kurama Murakumo suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Akisui.

Although he didn't underestimate Shusui because Shusui was brought by Tsunade and Kurenai, he didn't think highly of him either.

After all, how powerful can an ordinary Chunin be?

How could an ordinary Chunin possibly solve something that so many people can't?

But after hearing what Shusui said, he felt that Yakumo could really revive the glory of the Kurama clan.

Kurama Congyun didn't know if he would succeed in the end, but Qiushui had even made arrangements for possible accidents in advance, so he naturally had no objections.

Anyway, things can't get any worse than they are now.

"Senior Congyun, you're too kind." Qiushui quickly stepped forward to help him up, her face full of sincerity. "Right now, the village is short of talent, and Yakumo has awakened such a powerful bloodline limit. It is very important for the village that she can grow up smoothly."
