Naruto: Wood-Wood Fruit

Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Kurenai’s Trust



"Boom! Boom!"

The sun was setting.

Dusk had arrived.

On the charred, shattered ground, a few shadow clones vanished one after another.

Kurenai, sitting cross-legged, received the memories and experiences brought back by her chakra.

For a moment, a sharp pain pulsed through her head, leaving her exhausted.

Beside her, Kiyoshi, who had already entered Sage Mode, was prepared. 

His right hand, emitting a gentle green glow, pressed directly onto her forehead, easing her mental fatigue.

In less than two or three minutes, Kurenai was fully restored, feeling refreshed and clear-headed.

After Kiyoshi had taken control of her body the previous day using the Spirit Transformation Jutsu, his expert medical ninjutsu and chakra control had thoroughly adjusted her system, bringing tremendous improvement to her physique.

Her chakra pathways had significantly expanded.

The flow of her chakra was now smooth, completely different from the sluggish feeling of before.

Even her control over chakra had greatly improved.

While she couldn't yet use one unit of chakra as effectively as multiple units, her efficiency had increased by about twenty or thirty percent.

And, strangely enough, she sensed that her chakra reserves had increased substantially as well.

"Let's stop here for today, Kurenai-nee." Kiyoshi smiled at her obvious satisfaction. "Tonight, I'll guide you in practicing the Peacock Art techniques."

"Now, go ahead and practice on your own, and see the results for yourself."

"Alright!"

Kurenai nodded enthusiastically.

She couldn't wait to get started.

She stepped into the scorched clearing.

"Earth Style: Mud Wall!"

With the memories and experience her shadow clones had gathered, her hands formed seals swiftly.

It was as if her body itself had practiced countless times before, naturally driving her hands to the ground.

"Rumble!"

A massive earth wall rose from the ground in front of her, standing tall.

"Swoosh!"

Then, she began forming seals again, opening her mouth to unleash a sudden burst.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

"Whoosh—"

A flame shot out, transforming into a giant, intense fireball, which crashed into the earth wall in front of her.

"Boom!"

Heat waves rolled, scattering rocks.

The giant earth wall, although not entirely destroyed, was scorched black, with a huge, glaring crater left on its surface.

"Earth Style: Falling Earth Spears!"

Kurenai's hands moved rapidly, channeling earth-element chakra and slamming her hands onto the ground.

"Boom! Boom!"

The earth trembled.

One after another, razor-sharp earth spears burst out of the ground, piercing through the massive wall until it was riddled with holes, a sight enough to make anyone's scalp tingle.

"Fire Style: Dragon Flame Bomb!"

A fierce blaze shot from her mouth as Kurenai quickly formed seals once more, shaping into a huge dragon of fire that stained the sky bright red.

Waves of heat surged forward, slamming against the target.

"Boom! Boom!"

A series of ninjutsu techniques erupted continuously.

With Kiyoshi replenishing her chakra, Kurenai unleashed her jutsu relentlessly, rendering the already ravaged land even more unrecognizable.

Aside from a few higher-level techniques, she had already mastered most D-rank, C-rank, and even some B-rank Fire and Earth Release jutsu.

Though not fully proficient yet, the day's progress was already beyond her expectations.

More than anything, she was thrilled.

Now, she had undoubtedly grasped both Fire and Earth chakra nature transformations.

Without such control, she couldn't have produced such powerful Fire and Earth techniques.

With Kiyoshi's assistance, just a bit more practice, and she'd fully master these jutsu.

She was well on her way to becoming a true all-round Jonin.

"Kiyoshi, you're truly incredible."

Kurenai's shining eyes gazed at Kiyoshi in awe, clearly delighted.

Gaining so much progress in a single day was something she never dared to imagine.

And it was all thanks to Kiyoshi.

Kurenai understood her own talent very well.

While she wasn't a talentless ninja, she was certainly not as skilled as Kakashi or Asuma in ninjutsu.

Her limited chakra reserves had also restricted her training.

Even when she wanted to pursue broader development, there was rarely enough chakra to practice effectively.

Naturally, she'd eventually given up and focused solely on Genjutsu.

She hooked her arm around Kiyoshi's, smiling playfully. "It looks like I really found myself a treasure."

Originally, she had thought Kiyoshi's ambition for her to develop comprehensively was naive—just the idealistic fantasy of a young man.

But now, she had no doubts about her young partner's words.

He truly had a way to make her an all-around Jonin in a short period, or even a true elite Jonin.

"Really?"

Kiyoshi chuckled softly.

He wrapped his arms around her, gently squeezing her.

With a caring look, he playfully pinched her nose and smiled, "So, Kurenai-nee, you have to treat me well. Otherwise, someone might steal me away."

"Haven't I treated you well enough?"

Kurenai's cheeks flushed red.

Their relationship had progressed rapidly since just yesterday.

She had given herself entirely to him, save for the last step.

It wasn't that she was overly reserved, she just didn't want Kiyoshi to hurt himself by rushing things too soon.

"No, it's still not enough."

With a smile in his eyes, Kiyoshi leaned in close and whispered something in her ear.

Kurenai's face turned an even deeper shade of red.

"Thump… thump…." Her heart raced as she replied with a trembling voice, "How….could you even think of that?"

"Kurenai-nee…."

Kiyoshi murmured in her ear, his hand beginning to roam playfully.

"Stop! Fine, I'll agree."

Face flushed, Kurenai felt her whole body growing weak as she tried to hold back his wandering hand.

But ultimately, she couldn't refuse this young man.

Looking down, she murmured in a barely audible voice, "But…you can't go too far."

"Deal."

Kiyoshi responded immediately.

His eyes sparkled with joy.

There was no denying it—guiding the beautiful Kurenai like this was something he eagerly looked forward to.
