- So, girls, today you're going to learn genjutsu, and not just the basics like you were taught at the academy, but from a real expert," I said to the three girls who had just finished their D-rank assignment and were gathered at the training ground assigned to our team.
- Why genjutsu, Sensei? - Surizawa asked perplexed.
- Because you have sufficient chakra control for it," I explained to the team, "and at this stage, genjutsu in your performance can be most useful and not immediately drain the reserve, as in the case of ninjutsu.
- Ryo-sensei, from what you said about your strengths, are we going to be trained by someone else? - Hoshi immediately raised her hand.
- That's a good guess," I nodded to my student and raised an eyebrow questioningly, "Can you tell me who it will be?
- Well...
- I know! - Another student jumped up enthusiastically.
- Come on, Asani.
- The Uchiha clan is considered the best in genjutsu in the village, so you must have enlisted the help of shinobi from that clan," the little kunoichi replied, glancing at her neighbors with superiority.
- That's right, Asani," I smiled as I felt the familiar chakra approaching me, "only it won't be a shinobi, but a kunoichi and a good friend of mine.
- Where did you two meet? - Hoshi inquired directly.
- I think, she can tell me about it, can't she, Chifuyu? - I turned towards the girl who appeared on the range in the characteristic clothes tokubetsu jonin with a recognizable clan emblem.
- Hi, Ryo-sensei! - An old acquaintance stopped beside me, flashing a wide smile. - I haven't heard from you in a while!
- I'm sorry, you know how much free time I have," I said, smiling, "and I've got a team to train...
- So, these are the little ones I need to teach me how to live? - The Uchiha looked at the girls with activated dojutsu.
- Hoshi, Asani, and Surizawa," I introduced each of the students in turn.
- Sensei? - Hoshi whispered questioningly, shifting her gaze from Chifuyu to me and back again.
- Ryo-sensei once trained me as a much more experienced iryonin during the last world war," her friend heard the question.
- Chifuyu-chan is not only a good iryonin, but like almost every Uchiha, he's good at genjutsu," I raised my finger, drawing the girls' attention. "You're lucky to have a mentor with connections, so appreciate and learn from the experience of a war veteran.
