"You... do you really want to see it?"
"It'll be very dangerous!"
Kurama Yakumo's voice was full of worry, she didn't want to hurt Aoba.
Yūhi Kurenai also solemnly nodded and reminded, "I might not have made it clear before."
"Although Yakumo's body isn't in good shape, her Kekkei Genkai is top-tier. It not only allows her to control others' five senses but can even make people suffer injuries in the illusion world that reflect onto reality."
"In other words, if you get slashed by a sword in the illusion world, your real body will also appear with the same cut."
"This is very dangerous. In serious cases, it could even be life-threatening."
Upon hearing this, Aoba also pondered for a while, "Then does it mean Yakumo can only create illusion worlds with real danger?"
"Eh?", Kurama Yakumo looked a bit confused.
Aoba smiled, "Since your Kekkei Genkai can arbitrarily control others' five senses and pull them into an illusion world, then what kind of illusion world it is, isn't that all up to you?"
After thinking, Kurama Yakumo nodded, "I can indeed control the content of the illusion world…"
Aoba smiled and said, "Then create a beautiful illusion world for me. For example… how about a sea of flowers?"
Kurama Yakumo widened her eyes, "I've never tried that before…"
"You've got to try it sometime, right? Believe in yourself. Besides, even if something dangerous happens, isn't your teacher right here?", Aoba looked at Yūhi Kurenai.
Kurama Yakumo also looked at Yūhi Kurenai, "Kurenai-sensei…"
Yūhi Kurenai thought for a bit, then patted her head and said with a smile, "Then give it a try. If something goes wrong, I'll help you."
Although Kurama Yakumo has high talent, she's still just a little girl for now. Yūhi Kurenai could still keep things under control.
"Then I'll try!", With Yūhi Kurenai's reassurance, Kurama Yakumo became much more confident.
All Kurama Yakumo did was open her eyes wide. Without even forming any hand seals, Aoba got caught in the illusion with no preparation at all.
The floor around him began to change strangely. The wooden floor started flipping and transforming.
What appeared before him was a sea of flowers. Brilliantly colorful, dazzlingly beautiful. These flowers came in all kinds of bright colors, competing in beauty. The library walls had vanished.
They were in an open-air flower field, with the bright sun hanging in the sky.
The stool beneath him had turned into a horizontal, thick tree trunk, and the round table before him had turned into a wide tree stump.
What surprised him even more was that Yūhi Kurenai had also been pulled in.
In other words, even without forming hand seals or any other special conditions, as long as Kurama Yakumo wanted, she could pull anyone around her into the illusion world.
"How is it?", Kurama Yakumo looked at Aoba with expectation in her eyes.
"Very impressive! And very beautiful!", Aoba sincerely praised.
"Hehe! I'm glad you like it," Getting praised, Kurama Yakumo smiled a little shyly.
Aoba formed a hand seal and tried to dispel the illusion.
"Release!"
But after more than ten seconds passed, nothing happened.
'Normal methods are completely useless!'
He then bit his tongue. Other than feeling a sharp pain, there was no change either.
"To dispel normal illusions, you either disturb the chakra in your body or apply intense stimulation to yourself. But for your illusion, it seems these methods don't work."
"This is basically an invincible Kekkei Genkai!"
Kurama Yakumo shook her head a bit bashfully, "Actually, it's not as strong as you think. If it's a mild illusion, as long as the stimulus you receive is strong enough, you can still wake up."
"But if it's a deeper illusion, you'd have to lose consciousness to break free. Illusions only work on conscious people."
After Kurama Yakumo explained, Yūhi Kurenai added, "But because of Yakumo's illusion effect, for example, if you jump into lava to wake yourself up, once you regain consciousness, you'll also be seriously injured."
As for breaking illusions by losing consciousness…
That's basically saying you can only get out if you die.
In battle, knocking yourself unconscious to break the enemy's illusion, isn't that just suicide?
Aoba couldn't help but sigh, "This Kekkei Genkai really breaks all logic."
"Aoba, do you want to experience anything else?", Kurama Yakumo asked softly.
She quietly switched to a more familiar term of address and even sneaked a look at his reaction. When she saw that Aoba didn't mind, she let out a small sigh of relief.
"Something else to experience?", Aoba widened his eyes, and some bold ideas started popping up.
"If that's the case then…", Aoba poured all the strange and wonderful ideas from his head into Kurama Yakumo's mind.
Over the next period of time, Aoba deeply understood what it meant to do as one pleased in the illusion world.
He basically experienced all the things he always wanted to try but couldn't.
Of course, they were all proper activities.
Like various kinds of gourmet food, live-action combat, real-life CS, amusement park rides, and so on.
If it weren't for limited time and not being able to finish everything at once, he even wanted to write a script and try out some live-action roleplay games.
Even Yūhi Kurenai was shocked. Only Kurama Yakumo's ability could freely control the illusion world and provide such an immersive experience.
"Yakumo-san, let's stop here for today."
The illusion world had already been dispelled, and in the outside world, less than an hour had passed.
Aoba hadn't expected that even the flow of time was different.
Kurama Yakumo hesitated for a moment, then finally mustered her courage, "Aoba, can we play together again next time?"
Aoba agreed immediately, "Of course, no problem. I'll come here every day at this time to find you."
Hearing that, Kurama Yakumo instantly smiled brightly.
"Mhm!"
———
The next day, Kurama Yakumo's parents, along with Yūhi Kurenai, took Kurama Yakumo to visit Tsunade.
As for what they discussed, Aoba didn't know.
But he did observe the treatment process from the side and could only say: Tsunade truly lived up to being Konoha's number one medical ninja.
If Aoba wanted to catch up to her in medical ninjutsu, there was still a long road ahead.
After Tsunade treated Kurama Yakumo, her body still required regular conditioning to fully recover.
Meanwhile, Aoba's life temporarily returned to routine.
Every afternoon after sending Tenten and the others home, he would return to the school and play various games with Kurama Yakumo in the illusion world.
Truly a time management master.
As her body gradually recovered, Kurama Yakumo became full of energy.
That abundant vitality was sometimes even too much for Aoba to handle.
And since the semester was about to end, she was also preparing to join the ninja academy next semester as a transfer student.
And so, time quietly flowed by.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed just like that.
