C10 Yūhi Kurenai Who Had Been Dealt a Blow Was Speechless

"Entering the next world: Black Bullet."

"Quest 1: Capture any little girl. Reward: five lottery draws."

"Quest 2: Choose your side: Kill Aldebaran or destroy Tokyo. Reward: five lottery draws."

"Do you wish to transmigrate now?"

"No."

Ye Fenng smirked, opting not to transmigrate immediately.

He had just sworn in Ms. Kurenai as his teacher, and the good times were just about to start. Why would he leave now?

Once the issues with Hikage were resolved, it wouldn't be too late for Ye Fenng to reconsider.

Besides, the Black Bullet world posed no real challenge to him now, especially with such straightforward missions.

He could go whenever he chose.

With these thoughts, Ye Fenng drifted off to sleep.

The night was silent.

......

Kunoha.

A deserted forest.

At eight in the morning, Ye Fenng arrived at the designated spot on time.

"Ms. Kurenai, I've arrived as scheduled."

Ye Fenng greeted her cheerfully.

"Mhm."

Yūhi Kurenai, clad in her green Jonin vest, surveyed Ye Fenng with her piercing, blood-red eyes.

"Fenng, I've heard you have two girlfriends now, and you even won over Anko yesterday?"

Yūhi Kurenai asked, her voice tinged with skepticism.

"Uh, well..."

Ye Fenng scratched his head, offering an embarrassed smile. He hadn't expected Anko to spill the beans so quickly.

But then again, it made sense. Anko was never one to keep things to herself.

"Hmm?"

Kurenai's gaze grew more doubtful as she fixed her eyes on Ye Fenng.

"Fenng, you're full of surprises."

"But Anko... are you sure you can handle her?"

Yūhi Kurenai chuckled behind her hand, her face showing a mix of disbelief and amusement.

She looked at the young man with a mischievous twinkle in her eye.

As Anko's longtime confidante, no one understood her nature better than Kurenai.

"Please, teacher, stop teasing me,"

"Let's get on with the training."

Ye Fenng rolled his eyes in exasperation.

If only he weren't so young, he wouldn't have to put up with this.

The thought of Anko's playful teasing left him feeling quite resigned.

"Okay, I'll stop teasing you."

Yūhi Kurenai straightened up, adopting a more serious demeanor.

In a split second, her smile vanished, and her demeanor shifted.

"So, Fenng, today I'm going to teach you the basics of genjutsu."

"The concept behind casting genjutsu is quite straightforward..."

"The hand signs for this jutsu are..."

Though training could be monotonous, having a beautiful companion made the time more bearable.

It was akin to walking with someone you're fond of; no distance feels too great, and you find yourself hoping the path never ends.

They were deeply engrossed in their training.

Before long, evening arrived.

After a half-day's training, Ye Fenng was no longer a genjutsu novice.

His rapid progress was so astonishing that it left Yūhi Kurenai feeling embarrassed.

Given that Ye Fenng possessed Shadow Level strength and Chakra, it's no surprise that in just a half-day, he had managed to master nearly a third of Yūhi Kurenai's skills.

It was as if a high-level character had returned to the beginner's village, making the training seem almost like a cheat.

"Come on, Fenng. The teacher is worn out."

Yūhi Kurenai hung her head in exhaustion.

Observing Ye Fenng, who had trained intensely all day yet appeared unphased, stirred mixed feelings within her.

How could someone be so extraordinarily gifted?

It was quite demoralizing.

Yūhi Kurenai felt as if her heart had been hit with ten thousand points of damage.

But little did she know, the young man before her was playing the classic trickster, a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"Ms. Kurenai, I really learned a lot today."

"How about we have dinner together later?"

Ye Fenng grinned, his face lighting up with his trademark sunny smile.

"It's more than just a lot. A few more days of this,"

"And I might as well retire from teaching."

Yūhi Kurenai pursed her lips, looking at Ye Fenng's smug expression, and couldn't help but silently tease him.

"Rest assured, Ms. Kurenai, you'll always be my teacher."

Ye Fenng stated earnestly.

His serious expression left Yūhi Kurenai slightly mesmerized.

Indeed, even a prodigy like him had once been under her tutelage.

Reflecting on the situation, Kurenai's spirits lifted; her heart wasn't as heavy as before.

"Let's go. I'm treating today."

She beamed with pride as she admired her disciple.

Barring any surprises, Fenng would likely be the finest disciple she'd ever have.

Even Yakumo paled in comparison to Fenng.

The next day at the Ninja School.

"You're applying for early graduation?"

In the office, Iruka gave the youngster before him a puzzled look.

The school did permit such a request, but life at the Ninja School was comfortable and low-pressure, with ample time for fun.

It had been years since any student had chosen this path.

"Yes, I'm certain. I'd like to take the graduation exam."

Ye Fenng spoke calmly, his demeanor steady.

The basic Clone Techniques were second nature to him by now.

Instead of lingering at the Ninja School, he preferred the idea of venturing out for more freedom and the opportunity to tackle second-stage missions.

"Very well, Uesugi Fenng, proceed to the next classroom for your assessment."

"Just a friendly warning: even if you graduate successfully, you can't take on missions alone. You'll need a Chunin or Jonin to accompany you."

Iruka shook his head as he offered a final piece of advice to his eccentric student.

"That won't be necessary, Mr. Iruka."

Ye Fenng responded coolly before making his way out of the room.

Shortly thereafter.

"Clone Technique."

Two identical Ye Fenngs materialized.

"Body Replacement Technique."

Ye Fenng flawlessly mimicked Iruka's appearance.

"Substitute Technique."

Ye Fenng's original form vanished, swapping places with a log nearby.

With the oversight of several Genin instructors, Ye Fenng executed the Clone Techniques with precision, earning top marks.

He also earned his Genin forehead protector, though he didn't regard it with much importance.

"Fenng, how did it go?"

Exiting the exam, Ino and Hinata quickly gathered around him, bubbling with excitement.

"I passed, of course."

Ye Fenng said, sharing their enthusiasm, and gave each of the little girls a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Having achieved the status of Genin, he could at last depart from Kunoha openly and without concealment.

Wuhu, we're taking flight!
