Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Savoring "beautiful things"

Doesn't guarantee a reward, and whether Samui will give it to him is also a question.

This is to... open a door.

Yes, just to open a door.

Kiyoshi is very clear that his current status and strength are not enough to directly obtain something of higher value from Kumogakure.

Rather than that, it's better to lower his stance and ask for a trivial small benefit.

Using a D-rank ninjutsu as a bargaining chip won't make Samui feel threatened or arouse her suspicion.

This is to test Samui's bottom line.

Kiyoshi stood there, the dim light behind him casting a long shadow.

"See you next time, Miss Samui."

Kiyoshi put the scroll in his ninja tool bag to avoid being discovered and left.

Things are not over yet.

This time it was a D-rank, so next time the sincerity must be higher.

Make her Sharingan feel an emotional... fluctuation.

Before leaving, Kiyoshi even went to a sushi restaurant to get a sushi to take back.

On the way back, halfway there, someone suddenly bumped into Kiyoshi.

The sushi he was carrying fell to the ground with a thud.

"Sorry, sorry,"the girl with curly hair and a slightly chubby face quickly apologized.

"I...I'll make you some more sushi."

Kurenai Yuhi looked at the rice balls and toppings scattered on the ground and apologized to the person she'd bumped into.

When she looked up and saw who it was, she was surprised to find it was a classmate.

"You...you're Kiyoshi-kun? I'm so sorry."

"It's alright, Kurenai-kun."

Kiyoshi shook his head.

The sushi was just a cover.

Going to a sushi restaurant always requires a legitimate reason; why would he just go and leave without doing anything?

Last time he stayed inside for quite a while, this time it was only a few minutes.

Buying a serving of sushi would avoid attracting attention.

"No, I have to buy you the same sushi,"

Kurenai insisted, determined to take Kiyoshi with her to compensate him.

"It's getting late, they're closed."

"You bought it at the sushi shop on the street to the left and behind?"

"Yeah."

"No wonder, they all close at night."

Kurenai lowered her head, unsure what to do.

Back at the ninja academy, she had wondered if Kiyoshi possessed the Sharingan, and had even considered discussing genjutsu with him.

Now she had broken the sushi Kiyoshi bought; hadn't she offended him?

"You can compensate me with something else,"

Kiyoshi said.

Kurenai's eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed to Kiyoshi's suggestion.

Ten minutes later.

The two arrived at a shop.

She expertly ordered a bunch of dishes and handed the menu to Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi opened it and saw various kinds of fish.

The most common dish was how to prepare octopus.

Kiyoshi casually ordered one and placed the menu on the table.

Before long, the table was filled with the dishes they had ordered.

The largest portion was wasabi octopus.

The official guidebook recorded Kurenai Yuhi's preferences: her favorite foods were shochu, vodka, and wasabi octopus.

Her least favorite food was cake.

"Kiyoshi-kun, after the Uchiha awakens their Sharingan, their genjutsu abilities will be enhanced, right?"

Kurenai Yuhi asked after taking a bite of the wasabi octopus.   

"There will be some enhancement, but the specifics depend on individual skill,"

Kiyoshi said, looking at Kurenai Yuhi.

The Sharingan does indeed provide an enhancement, but it's limited.

If the user is already a skilled genjutsu ninja, their Sharingan genjutsu will be stronger.

 For example, Kakashi and Kurenai Yuhi during the *Rin no Sho* era.

Kurenai Yuhi's "genjutsu" value was 10, while Kakashi's was 8, despite having a three-tomoe Sharingan.

Kakashi's ability to copy was far superior to his genjutsu.

"Then… Kiyoshi-kun, would you like to discuss genjutsu with me?"

Kurenai Yuhi asked, her red eyes fixed on Kiyoshi. According to Kiyoshi, her theory was entirely correct.

If she worked hard enough, she could catch up with the Uchiha who possessed the Sharingan and prove her father's genjutsu prowess!

"Okay, but that'll have to wait until later. I have to spar with Obito tomorrow, and after school I need to practice controlling my chakra to learn ninjutsu."

Kiyoshi glanced at Kurenai Yuhi.

 Cute.

That was Kiyoshi's assessment.

But he preferred the future Kurenai, possessing a mature, older-sister charm.

Such "beautiful things" had a unique flavor to savor.

Kiyoshi could feel a warm current swirling in his left eye.

Of course, it was too early now.

Exchanging genjutsu abilities with the current Kurenai was also quite nice.

The Uchiha clan's genjutsu mostly revolved around the Sharingan; using other methods was relatively rare.

The Kurenai clan, despite the reputation of Uchiha genjutsu, still managed to become ninjas specializing in genjutsu.

 They must have some skill.

"That's great!"

Kurenai Yuhi's eyes closed, curving into crescent moons.

She admired Kiyoshi for being such an approachable and kind person.

She even thought that perhaps all the people in the Land of Lightning were this easygoing.

Completely unaware of why Kiyoshi had agreed to her request...

Deep within the sushi restaurant's secret room.

"Lord Samoi,"Samui said respectfully.

"Yotsuki Kiyoshi is here?"

Samoi asked.

"...He asked for a D-rank scroll."

Samui hesitantly recounted Kiyoshi's acquisition of "Lightning Release: Iron Body" to Samoi.

However, instead of presenting it verbatim, she downplayed the issue, saying that Yotsuki Kiyoshi was dissatisfied with the scroll.

She omitted the fact that Yotsuki Kiyoshi said it was because of her words.

Her calm demeanor kept her expression unchanged, as if she were stating a trivial matter.

"Very good. From now on, you will be responsible for continuing to communicate with Yotsuki Kiyoshi and making sure to win him over to Kumogakure."

Samoi nodded in satisfaction, her attention focused on Kiyoshi's request for the scroll.

It would be best if Yotsuki Kiyoshi could ask for something.

Moreover, ninjas usually determine their fighting style when they first embark on their ninja path.

Once Kiyoshi gets used to using Lightning Release ninjutsu, he will have to continue asking them for more.

The Uchiha clan's Lightning Release ninjutsu is decent, but it's still inferior to the Hidden Cloud Village, renowned for its Lightning Release techniques.

The Uchiha's forte is Fire Release; their clan crest is a flaming fan,symbolizing those who wield fire.

"The Uchiha's bloodline limit will definitely strengthen the village's foundation."

Samodo picked up a piece of sushi from the table in the secret room and swallowed it.

Once he had this achievement, would he still need to be a spy everywhere? Doing these arduous tasks?

If it weren't for wanting to advance further in the village and gain a good reputation before returning, he would never risk his life to infiltrate Konoha, risking being discarded if not careful.

"Yes, and Lord Samodo… I…"

After a while, Samui bit her lip, feeling it was better to clarify things.
