"Sushi, sashimi, tempura..." The middle-aged Shinobi wearing a scarf nodded with satisfaction while looking at the masterpiece in front of him, "Today's love dinner is a really great success!"

"Dad, I'm back." A brisk voice came from the entrance. The middle-aged Shinobi's eyebrows twitched happily, and he hurriedly leaned out of the kitchen, "Haha, Kurenai, guess what’s for tonight..."

Then, he saw his precious daughter walked in with the help of a boy.

"Uncle, sorry for bothering you."

Shinku didn't have time to worry about Sōseki's appearance, as he jumped out wearing an apron in shock, "Kurenai, what happened to you? Are you injured?"

Kurenai hesitated and said, "I, got into a fight with my classmates."

"Oh, it's fine then." Hearing this, Shinku was relieved.

He knows his daughter's strength very well. If it's just a fight between students, she will definitely not suffer.

However, Kurenai's next sentence almost scared him to death.

"I'm fine, but I accidentally used Genjutsu at that time and almost killed one of my classmates." Kurenai said with a little fear.

"Is your classmate all right?" Shinku asked nervously.

"It's okay, she was rescued by Sōseki."

"Actually, it's not as serious as she said. Hanako, she just passed out."

Hearing this, Shinku breathed a sigh of relief.

For Shinobi, killing is not uncommon, but if they kill people from the same village, they will inevitably receive countless accusations and abuses. It will be hard to bear those kinds of things in the future.

Thinking of this, Shinku’s gaze towards Sōseki softened.

"Cough, Kurenai, you haven't introduced your friend to me yet."

Hearing this, Kurenai raised her small chest proudly, "This is our class leader, Shimizu Sōseki. He is super awesome!"

A strange look flashed in Shinku’s eyes upon hearing this, ‘Is he the Shimizu Sōseki who defeated Hokage-sama's son?’

For the calm and peaceful Konoha, their battle is already quite a bit of news.

"Sōseki, thank you so much."

"No, in fact, I want to apologize to you."

"Apologize? "Shinku just felt confused.

"Why do you say this again?" Kurenai puffed up her cheeks.

But without caring for Kurenai’s interruption, Sōseki blamed himself, "I have already asked clearly, the reason why Hanako and the others are finding trouble with Kurenai is actually...That…they found that I often peek at Kurenai during class."

"Huh? Peek, peek, peeking at me?" Kurenai’s face was flushed, and for a while, she didn’t dare to look at Sōseki directly.

Shinku's face turned black upon hearing this, and his fondness for Sōseki plummeted.

He knows that kids in the Academy were usually precocious, but his daughter is only five years old, ‘This scoundrel perverted beast!’

"I have to use a Genjutsu to get this little brat back on track..."

It seems that that he noticed that the expressions of the two were not quite right, so Sōseki waved his hands again and again. "You may have misunderstood. I peeked at Kurenai because I know that Shinku-senpai is the most powerful Genjutsu-user Shinobi in Konoha, so I wonder if I can learn Genjutsu from you through Kurenai."

‘So that's the case. It seems this kid has a good eyesight.’ Shinku thought quite contentedly.

Just when he thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, he found that his precious daughter showed a disappointed expression. This discovery made his heart tighten again.

‘Damn it, could it be that Kurenai is already...’ Shinku didn’t dare to think about it, so he glared at Sōseki, "You little...cough cough, didn’t I hear that you want to become a Medical-nin? Why do you want to learn Genjutsu from me now?"

For these kinds of questions, Sōseki was naturally prepared. Hearing Shinku’s question, his little face showed a serious look at the right time, "I just want to become a greater medical Shinobi, that’s why I want to learn Genjutsu from you. At first, I thought that I could use Genjutsu to deceive pain so it can help me during surgery, but later, I gradually discovered that pure Medical Ninjutsu only heal people's physical pain but cannot heal the wounds in their minds. Mental healing is as important as physical healing!"

"Is this Sōseki’s thoughts? It’s really amazing!" Kurenai looked at Sōseki admiringly, and little stars almost flashing in her eyes.

"This little brat unexpectedly has such ideals and abilities. No, I can't be moved by him..." Shinku was a little moved at first, but after glimpsing the seeing the admiration in Kurenai’s eyes, his expression immediately turned grim.

After pondering for a moment, Shinku nodded slightly "tangled" and said, "I can let you learn Genjutsu from me, but Genjutsu's training is very difficult. You must drop out of the Academy and learn Genjutsu from me wholeheartedly. Don’t worry, you can still become a Shinobi even without the experience from the Academy. With my guidance, you will definitely gain more being in the Academy."

The reason he did this is naturally because he wanted to cut off the communication between Sōseki and Kurenai. ‘Well, as a child, Kurenai will forget about him after not meeting for a few days.’

As for his guidance, he just needed to find a free training ground to avoid Kurenai.

Shinku thought so happily, and then he suddenly heard Sōseki replied, "Shinku-senpai, I’m sorry, I can’t drop out of the Academy."

"Wait, don't you want to learn Genjutsu?" Shinku asked hurriedly.

"Of course I want to learn, but I value my commitment more. I promised to advance and retreat with everyone. How could I be a deserter by myself?" Sōseki replied firmly.

"That's right, if I also trained Genjutsu from you, dad, doesn't that mean that I also need to drop out?" Kurenai on the side said with a puffed face.

‘It's only been so long, but my status is already dropping.’ Shinku felt aggrieved and said aggrievedly, "Kurenai, your talent in Genjutsu is the best I have ever seen. Of course you don’t need to spend too much time, but him... His talent in Medical Ninjutsu may be outstanding, but that does not mean that his talent in Genjutsu is also outstanding."

"If my aptitude is bad, I can just increase my training every night. Shinku-senpai, please give me a chance!"

Seeing Shinku was still hesitating and tangled, Kurenai can't help but pat her small breasts and said, "It's okay, I’ll teach you if dad doesn’t teach, Sōseki. I’ll teach you Genjutsu in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Shinku almost spurt a mouthful of blood and hurriedly said, "Wait, I didn't say no, I mean... Actually, I am worried that he may not learn well and that will damage my reputation. Okay then, when I am not on a mission, I will spare two hours every night to teach you, but I am not I want to be your teacher."

"I understand. Thank you, Shinku-senpai!" Sōseki's face was filled with excitement, and then he turned to look at the side and said, "Kurenai, thank you very much!"

"Hehe, do the two of us still need to say such things?" Kurenai said happily.

Seeing this, Shinku felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten flies.

"By the way, Sōseki, would you like to stay for dinner with us?"

Seeing that Shinku's really red face was turning green, Sōseki doesn't dare to irritate him too much and refused, "No need, I have something to do at the hospital."

"Okay then, see you tomorrow."

"Yeah, see you tomorrow."

Seeing that his "enemy of life" finally left, Shinku was relaxed, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Kurenai suddenly say, "Dad, teach me Genjutsu too."

"Kurenai, are you finally willing to take advantage of your talent?" Shinku was overjoyed. He had forced Kurenai too much before, and it aroused Kurenai’s rebelliousness. After studying Genjutsu for a period of time, she did not want to learn it anymore.

Kurenai nodded as if it was a matter of course and said, "Of course, I don't want to be too far behind Sōseki!"

Shinku was dumbfounded upon hearing this, and his hands covered his chest.

‘Here, it hurts!’

...

"Hah, the mooching plan finally succeeded!" After walking some distance, Sōseki took a rare deep breath.

In fact, if he just wanted to learn Genjutsu from Shinku, there is no need to do such troublesome thing. With the talent he has shown, as long as you have a good relationship with Kurenai, Shinku presumably will not mind accepting a talented disciple.

The problem is that, unlike the instructor of the Shinobi team, there can only be one official teacher in the Shinobi World.

If he chooses to become Shinku’s disciple, he will lose the possibility of being Tsunade’s disciple. However, he is unwilling to give up Genjutsu, that’s why he came up with such a compromise.

"Although there were some twists and turns on the way, it was a complete success. Next, I will target Tsunade!" Sōseki gently spits out one mouthful of turbid air and murmured, "However, before that, I still need to train Genjutsu wholeheartedly first. Maybe, I can use it as a breakthrough."
