Chapter 053

"Anko, when are you going to get over it?" Kurenai asked teasingly towards her stunned friend.

Anko snapped back to reality as her face wrinkled.

She never thought Kurenai would play such a prank on her.

In this group of friends, along with Yugao, she was the prankster.

Right now, she looked like a complete idiot.

"At least I don't tattoo the names of strangers on my butt." Anko twisted her lips and retaliated.

Upon hearing this, Kurenai's face flushed with embarrassment.

She didn't know what else to say to make them believe that it was really an accident and they took advantage of her.

"Well, are you not going to explain that sudden high-level genjutsu?" Anko was genuinely curious.

After all, she had fallen into the genjutsu too quickly, and despite being conscious and wanting to break free, it was impossible for her.

Genjutsu is an illusion that deceives the mind. It is a technique that is used in the same way as ninjutsu, requiring chakra and hand seals.

However, the main difference between them is that the effects of Genjutsu are illusory. Instead of attacking the victim's body, Genjutsus manipulate the flow of chakra in the victim's brain, causing a disruption in their senses.

It is generally used to create false images or to cause the pain of trauma (because the body is made to believe that the pain is real).

It can even imitate chakra. It's all about tricking the mind.

They are not used as often as Ninjutsu because they do not physically harm the opponent.

They are created when a ninja extends their chakra flow through the opponent's cerebral nervous system, controlling the chakra of their mind in such a way that it affects their five senses.

And Yuhi Kurenai, with a natural talent for genjutsu, was truly well-versed in it.

It's just that she recently ascended to Jōnin, and although she rose to a higher rank than her friend, she still couldn't compare to her in battle.

After all, she is the disciple of a Sannin.

The reason she hasn't been promoted from Tokubetsu Jōnin to Jōnin is because of her slight past trauma.

But seeing how easily Anko fell for it, Anko naturally wanted a detailed explanation.

"Well, that's why I called you, I need to tell you something."

Anko jumped from the tree branch to Kurenai's apartment.

"There's something else I didn't tell you about that night." Kurenai was a little embarrassed to bring up this topic, as she still wasn't being taken seriously.

And with such a tattoo on her butt with a man's name, naturally, it wouldn't help her be taken seriously.

But the seal on the lower part of her neck was not something to take lightly, so she couldn't keep it a secret any longer.

"Don't tell me you got another tattoo in a different place." Anko said mockingly.

Upon hearing this, Kurenai really wanted to put her under another genjutsu, but she held back.

"No, it's not that." Kurenai removed the small patch that covered the seal and showed it to Anko.

Upon seeing this, Anko became completely serious.

"You've encountered that guy?" Anko asked unconsciously.

Kurenai shook her head.

"It's not Orochimaru, the same man who... who jokingly tattooed my butt, he placed this seal on me, called it a cursed seal, just like Orochimaru."

Anko frowned and approached, examining the seal in detail.

"It's really similar, but this one looks, how should I put it, more aesthetic." Anko said with great impression.

"Have you felt strange at times, as if someone was trying to control you?" Anko asked.

Kurenai shook her head again, but a second later, she remembered something and pulled out several posters.

Upon seeing this, Anko's eyes widened in extreme surprise.

"Oh my god, Kurenai, and all these mission posters?"

Anko couldn't believe what her eyes were seeing.

"I haven't felt any of that, just a bit more ambition and determination in myself, and as a result, having the goal of surpassing myself at all costs."

"But the most important thing is that my power has increased exponentially, you must have noticed when I induced you into the illusion." Kurenai said, a little worried about her situation.

Anko was still extremely surprised, unable to believe this development.

Since when is a cursed seal this good?

That it even gives you feelings of self-improvement and enhancement in your personality.

Lately, due to Asuma's departure from Konoha just the day after he confessed his love and they consummated their relationship.

Asuma left Konoha due to a disagreement with his father, in other words, a tantrum.

Currently, Kurenai only learned that he is serving under the Daimyo at the moment.

But this left Kurenai devastated, without a sense of purpose. After all, she didn't expect the Asuma she had been in love with since childhood to do such things to her.

If it weren't for Anko and Yugao who were by her side, she didn't know if she could overcome it.

Although some time had passed and she managed to move on thanks to her friends, she still felt depressed, which greatly hindered her ninja career.

But as they say, life goes on, and Kurenai picked herself up again and successfully became a Jōnin.

And after this incident, where she completely lost face in front of her friends.

Kurenai felt better than ever.

Taking mission after mission.

All of them rank S.

It wasn't until today that she realized this was not normal, and she was afraid of losing herself.

It must be said that power can cause fear in oneself.

For this reason, she decided to confide in her friends.

"I understand."

Upon hearing Kurenai's explanation, Anko nodded in understanding.

"From what I gather, this seal can greatly amplify your chakra, even your perception, an important aspect for someone who uses this art." Anko murmured.

To perform a Genjutsu, one must be extremely skilled in role-playing, as they have to describe the environment or what will happen within the Genjutsu perfectly, otherwise the target can easily escape, the more detailed the Genjutsu, the harder it is to escape from it.

To carry out a Genjutsu, it is common for the target to observe how the user performs the hand seals, at that moment, it is almost certain that they have been induced into the Genjutsu.

Although in reality, it's not just with the fingers, if the target is looking at any part of the user's body, they can channel chakra into that part and induce them into the Genjutsu.

This was Kurenai's current level.

A level that not even Anko could avoid being caught in.
