Naruto Online: Hyuga Branch Family? Let's go all out!

Chapter 30 Illusion Genius

Kurenai Yuhi's words were not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

"A son-in-law is half a son" is an old Chinese saying, but in the ninja world, a son-in-law can actually inherit the family business!

Because you can't choose your son; whether he's smart or stupid is entirely up to fate. But you can choose the best of the best when it comes to your son-in-law.

Therefore, choosing a son to inherit the family business carries the risk of ruin, but if one consistently chooses an excellent son-in-law, the family business may grow larger and larger.

As for the issue of later generations changing their surnames, the people of the ninja world don't care about that.

After all, who says a grandson isn't one's own flesh and blood?

Kurenai Yuhi's wife had been wounded on the battlefield and was 28 years old when she gave birth to Kurenai Yuhi. Doctors no longer advised her to have more children.

Kurenai Yuhi has no intention of remarrying, which means that Kurenai Yuhi will be his only daughter.

Then his legacy can only be passed on to his daughter or son-in-law.

From this perspective, Hyuga Neon's status as a branch family member is also a plus, because the branch family cannot learn the core inheritance of the Hyuga clan, but can inherit Yuhi Shinku's genjutsu.

The only problem is whether Hyuga Neon is willing to learn; he might be the type who looks down on everyone except the Hyuga clan.

There are quite a few clans like this in the ninja world, such as the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the Uchiha clan, and the Aburame clan.

But Hinata Neon's reaction was: his eyes widened, and his face was full of excitement!

"Would you be willing to teach me illusion magic?"

Even the crimson sunset is a source of joy; anyone willing to learn can enjoy it.

So now the only remaining question is: "I just don't know if you have any talent for illusion magic!"

After all, we've never seen the Hyuga clan use genjutsu before, so maybe they can't?

"Why don't we try and see?" Hinata Neon said excitedly.

His Arcane Pen Hall stores a large amount of mental energy, but he doesn't know the correct way to use it and can only use it crudely through mental power.

This is a complete waste!

Now that we have illusion magic, it's like a long-awaited rain after a drought!

Moreover, since the illusion technique is from the Kurenai Yuhi Crimson Cult and has a clear lineage, it can be used openly and legitimately!

No problem, from now on I'm a genjutsu ninja!

Turning things around? Even a dog wouldn't learn that!

Seeing Hinata Ningyuan's enthusiastic attitude towards learning, Yuhi Shinku guessed that he was actually saying that to please her.

But what does it matter? He wants to please me, isn't it just because he likes his daughter?

It can only be said that once you accept a person, you will try your best to find their good points.

Upon closer inspection, the boy is quite handsome, with an elegant demeanor. The female ninja was completely captivated by his appearance alone.

What is this? A natural-born illusionist!

"I'll teach you the simplest genjutsu first, try it!" Kurenai Yuhi said, forming five hand seals. "This genjutsu is called the Mist Servant Technique. The seals are like this, and the chakra flow is..."

The Kasumi Servant's Technique causes the enemy to see one black phantom after another, which splits apart after being attacked.

It's a trick purely used to scare people.

Yuhi Shinku explained it in great detail, but Hinata Neon felt that the explanation was superficial and only talked about the operation without explaining the principle.

However, this shouldn't be a problem only for Kurenai Yuhi; it's the case for the entire ninja world.

It only talks about applications, not principles.

Perhaps only Orochimaru and Tobirama Senju would delve into some ninjutsu theories.

However, it's not a big problem. Although Kurenai Yuhi didn't explain it, Neito Hyuga figured it out on his own.

The principle behind this illusion technique is to inject illusion chakra into the enemy's brain to disrupt their vision.

Because the interference was so subtle, it only created a mirage.

If you upgrade it, for example, by transforming the illusion into a human or some other terrifying scene, then this technique becomes a different kind of technique.

More advanced illusions interfere with the sense of hearing more; for example, the Magic Flute's Magic Sound Lock interferes with the sense of hearing.

The Kurama family's bloodline limit is even more powerful, directly interfering with all five senses.

But these are not the highest level. The highest level of Tsukuyomi, Infinite Tsukuyomi, is an illusion that directly interferes with the soul.

Techniques that interfere with the five senses can awaken the user by disrupting chakra, but techniques that interfere with the soul are absolutely unsolvable, because once your soul is disrupted, you have no way to mobilize chakra and can only be beaten in the illusion space.

Therefore, the order of advancement in illusion magic levels should be: Interference with first sense → Interference with second sense → Interference with third sense → Interference with fourth sense → Interference with fifth sense → Interference with soul!

There are also some special illusions, such as the Magical Steam Pavilion, a technique used by the Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu. It uses water to refract light to create a mirage. Although it does not invade other people's five senses, it still has the effect of confusing the eyes, so it is also a kind of illusion.

Therefore, illusions can be roughly divided into three types.

First: A ninjutsu that uses chakra to invade another person's brain and interfere with their five senses.

Second: Illusions that alter the external environment to interfere with the five senses.

Third, illusions that interfere with the soul.

Kurenai Yuhi excels at the first type.

"Well, do you understand now?" Yuhi Shinku's demonstration lasted only a short while, but little did she know that Hyuga Ningyuan had already thoroughly grasped the principles and classifications of illusion techniques in such a short time.

"Shall I give it a try?" Hinata Neon asked.

"Okay!" Kurenai Yuhi nodded, the experiment's target being himself, of course.

A worthy Jonin is not afraid of the ninjutsu released by ninja academy students.

"Form hand seals, release chakra!" Hand seals are crucial for the release of ninjutsu. This is a code that the Sage of Six Paths used to encode Kaguya Otsutsuki's chakra. As long as you know this code, even if you know nothing about the original path of chakra, you can still release genjutsu.

This is why Itachi, at the age of four, could unleash the Great Fireball Technique.

Just like typing on a keyboard, you press a key and the words appear on the other end. As for the underlying principle, you don't need to know.

Hyuga Ningyuan was using chakra that hadn't been refined by any technique. He needed to figure out how the genjutsu was activated before he could replicate it with his own chakra.

"Huh!" It was only the first time she released it, but Yuhi Shinku noticed a phantom appearing beside Hyuga Ningyuan.

He quickly mobilized his chakra to dispel the illusion.

Then, his gaze was greatly drawn to it!

"You have a talent for illusion magic!" Kurenai Yuhi exclaimed, her crimson eyes wide. "And a very high one at that!"

What does it mean to learn an illusion technique just by watching someone demonstrate it once?

We usually call this kind of person a genius!

You know, he started teaching Kurenai Yuhi illusion magic when she was four years old, but she still hasn't learned a single illusion magic technique!

"My legacy, that of Yuhi Shinku, is now secure!" Yuhi Shinku felt a sense of relief and added, "I'll teach you another one: the Fox Mind Technique!"

This is an illusion that makes the enemy feel as if they have entered a complex maze and can only walk on one path forever, similar to being trapped in a maze or being bewitched by a fox.

This is a C-rank ninjutsu, which is not only more difficult to learn, but also consumes more chakra.

He wanted to see where Hyuga Neon's talent limit lay.

A moment later, feeling the changing environment around her and her somewhat confused mind, Yuhi Makoto's lips were now harder to suppress than an AK!

Genius! An absolute genius in illusion!

He didn't know how skilled the Uchiha clan was at genjutsu, but seeing that he could learn a C-rank genjutsu after just one demonstration, even the Uchiha couldn't be that good!

"One more B-rank!" With his energy surging, Yuhi Shinku couldn't contain himself any longer. If he could, he would want to teach all of Hyuga Neiyuan all of his genjutsu today, so that even if he suddenly died tomorrow, in Hyuga Neiyuan's words, he would have fewer regrets.

"This technique is called Illusionary Tree Binding Kill; it summons an illusion of a tree to bind the enemy!"

"Uh, I don't have enough chakra!" Hyuga Ningyuan tried it out, then shook his head.

He succeeded, but while learning a C-level illusion technique in an instant is somewhat explainable, learning a B-level illusion technique in an instant seems a bit exaggerated.

Children should still have their own little ducks.

"Oh, oh, oh!" Kurenai Yuhi calmed down a bit. Well, how much chakra could a five-year-old child possibly have?

Moreover, B-rank illusions are indeed much more complex and require some time to develop.

"My bad, my bad! It's rare to meet a genius in illusion magic, I was too excited!" Yuhi Shinku patted Hyuga Ningen on the shoulder: "Come to my house after school from now on, how about I teach you illusion magic for two hours? I can also teach you some physical techniques. By the way, your father is Hyuga Toki, right?"

Hinata Neon nodded.

"He's a very reliable comrade-in-arms, but the situation at the border is very complicated right now, so he can't come back yet. But your mother should be home, right? Let's get together this weekend and settle things for you!"

"Still chatting? It's time to eat!" Kurenai's mother came out with a plate of food, placed it on the table, and then looked at Hinata Neiyuan: "Neiyuan-kun, why don't you stay and eat here tonight?"

"Um, I'd better go back. Mom's all ready and waiting for me!" Hinata Ningyuan quickly said.

"It's alright, I already asked someone to tell her she'll have dinner at my place!"

"Huh?" Ning Yuan scratched his head. That works too.

"Stay!" Kurenai Yuhi said softly, "After dinner, I'd like to talk to you!"

"Okay!" Hinata Ningyuan nodded. Since things had come to this point, of course he would stay!
