Chapter 72

The Anbu following behind watched their actions and silently recorded them.

The journey was silent, and soon the group entered Konoha.

Kurenai Yuhi and Anko brought Shi Yuan to a small courtyard that was not too remote but clean and quiet.

"This is the residence Lord Hokage arranged for Itachi. Mr. Shi Yuan, if Itachi need anything, Itachi can tell me..."

Kurenai Yuhi introduced the situation in the courtyard, her beautiful eyes glancing at Shi Yuan from time to time, and then she reluctantly said goodbye to Anko.

Shi Yuan stood in the courtyard and observed for a moment.

The courtyard was not large, but it had an independent training ground, and all kinds of facilities were complete.

The location was a bit remote, with no neighbors, and there were no other residents within a hundred meters.

And there was no Anbu surveillance, which Shi Yuan was quite satisfied with.

He would just treat it as a vacation for himself.

He sat leisurely in the courtyard, brewed some tea, and wanted to see who would be the first to come knocking.

……

After Kurenai Yuhi and Anko left, they headed straight for the Hokage Building.

On the way, Anko looked at her good friend playfully.

"Just now, someone's eyes were almost glued to Shi Yuan. Tell me, are Itachi moved?"

Kurenai Yuhi's face flushed slightly, and she quickened her pace, "I'm not. Don't talk nonsense."

Anko wouldn't let it go and reached out to tickle her, "Still saying Itachi aren't? Your face is already red."

"Oh my, who can blame me when my junior brother is so handsome and talented? It's no wonder Itachi've taken a liking to him."

"Tsk tsk, 'my junior brother'? Didn't Itachi just say Itachi weren't Orochimaru's disciple? I think Itachi're the one who's moved." Kurenai Yuhi retorted, not to be outdone.

"Hee hee, so sour. Someone is jealous."

The two were bickering, and the Hokage Building was already in sight.

Anko suddenly reminded her:

"Later, if Lord Hokage asks Itachi to hand over Shi Yuan's secret technique, Itachi must not say it."

Kurenai Yuhi: "Why?"

Anko shook her head and said earnestly:

"Itachi don't understand the way people like him think at all. Shi Yuan is... very much like Orochimaru."

"Don't look at how he only said Itachi couldn't give it to others without his permission when he gave Itachi the ninjutsu. If Itachi really disobey his words, he will definitely be very angry!"

"Itachi must not provoke him!"

After witnessing Shi Yuan's terrifying talent, she didn't want her friend to offend him.

Kurenai Yuhi pondered for a moment after hearing this, then took out the scroll Shi Yuan gave her and burned it directly.

"That should be fine."

The two smiled at each other and walked into the Hokage Building.

The Third Hokage, Danzo, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado were already waiting for them.

The two immediately recounted the process of the mission in detail.

"To develop an ultimate-level genjutsu in just a few minutes, what a terrifying talent."

The Third Hokage sighed.

He had long known from Itachi that Shi Yuan's genjutsu was extremely powerful, but this performance still exceeded his imagination.

Subsequently, he looked at Kurenai Yuhi and said: "Kurenai, can Itachi let us see the secret technique Shi Yuan gave Itachi?"

This was a secret technique developed by Shi Yuan.

It seemed none of them were below S-rank.

According to Kurenai Yuhi, this was an ultimate-level genjutsu!

Even if he couldn't use it, he could give it to his trusted subordinates or even bring it back to his clan.

Not only the Third Hokage, but Danzo and the others also looked at her with burning eyes.

Kurenai Yuhi's heart skipped a beat, secretly glad she had prepared in advance, and she put on a troubled look.

"Lord Hokage, Shi Yuan said this genjutsu cannot be shown to others without his permission. I... if I do this, will it provoke him?"

The Third Hokage frowned slightly, opened his mouth, but couldn't find a reason.

He sighed inwardly and had no choice but to give up.

"Then Itachi should demonstrate it and let us see the power of this genjutsu!"

"Alright! But this genjutsu has high requirements. I have only just mastered it, so the effect might not be very good. Please forgive me."

Kurenai Yuhi breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly.

This genjutsu was tailor-made for her situation, and combined with her genjutsu talent and foundation, it was simple for her to learn.

She quickly formed hand seals, and a subtle fluctuation spread out.

The Third Hokage, Danzo, and the others narrowed their eyes in vigilance, then looked at her with some confusion.

Kurenai Yuhi took a deep breath, feeling shocked in her heart.

The effect of this genjutsu was probably stronger than she had imagined.

"Lord Hokage, my genjutsu has been cast."

The Third Hokage, Danzo, and the others exchanged glances and frowned: "I felt it, but what is the effect?"

Kurenai Yuhi stepped forward, picked up a pen from the desk, and flicked it gently.

It landed next to a document on the table in front of the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage's expression shifted slightly. His years of accumulated combat experience made him feel that something was wrong, and he hurriedly dispelled the genjutsu.

"Release!"

Hum—

The Third Hokage looked forward, his pupils shrinking instantly.

He saw that the pen hadn't landed next to the document, but had pierced through it.

Kurenai Yuhi explained: "The effect of this genjutsu is only to interfere with illusions within a very small range, but it is very difficult to be detected."

The Third Hokage took a deep breath.

With his rich combat experience, he immediately understood the terrifying nature of this genjutsu.

If, in the midst of a fierce battle, one's attack or evasion position deviated by a few centimeters, it would be a fatal mistake!

An effect that seemed inconspicuous was actually extremely terrifying.

"As expected of Shi Yuan."

Not only him, but Danzo and the others naturally understood this truth.

Several of them couldn't help but feel their hearts burning.

If Shi Yuan could develop more secret techniques, Konoha would be rich!

"If I can control Shi Yuan, who can stop me from becoming Hokage!"

Danzo's eyes were burning with intensity.

If he had been hesitating before, he was now impatient to use Kotoamatsukami on Shi Yuan.
