Judging from her current condition, she is already sick, and it has reached a very serious stage.

Previously, it was Kurama Yakumo's parents who looked after her. After Kurama Yakumo's parents died, her clansmen were afraid of her and avoided her, so no one knew that she had fallen ill.

After glancing around the bedroom and finding nothing amiss, Kurenai entered the room and strode towards Yakumo Kurama.

When Uchiha Kazuyama saw what Yuhi Kurenai was doing, he reached out to stop her, but Yuhi Kurenai had already entered the room. Uchiha Kazuyama sighed helplessly and followed her into the room.

Kurenai came to the bedside, gently calling Kurama Yakumo's name while patting her softly.

Upon hearing Kurenai's voice, the figure on the bed gradually stopped trembling and slowly turned her head.

Just as Kurama Yakumo turned her head, and Kurenai was about to place her hand on her forehead to feel her body temperature, Kurama Yakumo opened her eyes, causing Kurenai to freeze.

When Kurama Yakumo opened her eyes, what was revealed was not Kurama Yakumo's usual eyes, but the eyes of the monster Ido, which terrified Yuhi Kurenai. Ido had no whites in her eyes and her entire eyeballs were pitch black.

Just as Kurenai was about to make a move, Yakumo Kurama revealed a strange smile. Then, a ball of black light shot out from Yakumo Kurama's eyes and directly into Kurenai's eyes, which were right next to hers, causing her to lose consciousness in an instant.

After the black ball of light entered Kurenai's body, Uchiha Kakuzan frowned slightly. In his Sharingan vision, the ball of light quickly took over Kurenai's head after entering her body, suppressing her original consciousness.

Just as Uchiha Kakuzan was about to take action, suddenly, Kurenai Yuhi's body moved slightly. Then, like a rusty machine, she turned around, one step at a time, to face Uchiha Kakuzan, and Kurenai Yuhi's eyes turned black.

Uchiha Kakuzan looked at Kurenai Yuhi's black eyes and suddenly revealed a meaningful smile. Just as the monster possessing Kurenai's body was about to speak, Uchiha Kakuzan's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly began to spin:

"Eye Technique - Tsukuyomi"

Chapter 176 Monster Personality

Chapter 176 Monster Personality

Kurenai Yuhi, whose body was possessed by the monster Ido, was about to speak when Uchiha Kakuzan suddenly activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Eye Technique - Tsukuyomi"

Immediately afterwards, the two spiritual consciousnesses within Kurenai Yuhi—the bewildered monster Ido and the suppressed Kurenai Yuhi—were brought into Uchiha Kakuzan's Tsukuyomi space using his eye technique.

Unlike Itachi Uchiha, who explained his eye technique to Kakashi when using Tsukuyomi, Uchiha Kazuyama didn't do the same thing. He felt that would be rather silly.

After bringing the monster Ido and Kurenai Yuhi into the Tsukuyomi space, Uchiha Kakuzan immediately bound Ido's spirit to a cross. Beside the cross, several of Uchiha Kakuzan's spirit clones appeared, wielding katanas. Without saying a word, they directly stabbed Ido's spirit. In an instant, the entire Tsukuyomi space was filled with Ido's screams of agony.

Kurenai Yuhi, who came in with the monster Ido, couldn't help but shudder when she saw its miserable state. Although Kurenai Yuhi had seen stabbing before, she had never seen anything like this that was stabbing people all the time. Just by listening to the monster's screams, she knew how excruciating it must feel.

After settling the monster down, Uchiha Kakuzan suddenly appeared next to Kurenai Yuhi. Kurenai, who was already on edge, was startled by his sudden appearance, but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Uchiha Kakuzan.

Uchiha Kakuzan looked at the still somewhat nervous Kurenai Yuhi, and then at the surrounding environment. There was one problem with the Tsukuyomi space: its color was blood red, which gave people a sense of oppression. If it were used to torture an enemy, it would add some psychological pressure, but it was not very suitable in this situation.

Uchiha Kakuyama thought for a moment, smiled at Kurenai Yuhi, and snapped his fingers. Immediately, everything in this space changed. The original blood-red sky turned into the dim yellow of the setting sun. The blood moon in the sky disappeared and was replaced by a warm sunset. Even the screams of the monster Ido were blocked out, and only it could hear them.

Kurenai's initial tension eased at this moment. Gazing at Uchiha Kagami bathed in the setting sun, she gradually became mesmerized. This man before her had saved her from danger time and time again. If it weren't for him, she would have been no match for that monster.

Especially just now, because she was worried about her disciple Kurama Yakumo's physical condition, her body was easily taken over by that monster. She was in despair at that time. After all, with her body taken over, her life and death were controlled by others. At that time, she was afraid that Uchiha Kakuzan, who came with her, would hesitate to act for her safety.

Of course, this is also why the monster wanted to possess Kurenai's body. It was because the monster, Ido, was terrified of Uchiha Kagami in its illusion and knew that it was no match for this person. If it fought against him, it would be easily destroyed.

Therefore, based on Yakumo Kurama's past memories, this monster, Ido, set up a trap for Kurenai Yuhi. In its plan, as long as it took over Kurenai Yuhi's body, which came with it, it would have to let her go for the sake of her life.

Unexpectedly, just as the monster Ido took over Kurenai's body and was about to negotiate with Uchiha Kakuzan, he broke through her advantage and directly brought her into his illusion.

Monster Ido was born thanks to Kurama Yakumo, so all his knowledge and experience came from that little girl. Therefore, he didn't know about the Sharingan, let alone the Mangekyou Sharingan and the dojutsu Tsukuyomi. He only thought it was a more perfect illusion. In fact, this understanding is not wrong. The Tsukuyomi space is actually an illusion space, but the perfection of this illusion space is too high. It is completely an illusion world.

After altering the environment of the Tsukuyomi space, Uchiha Kakuzan smiled at the gradually calming Kurenai Yuhi and said, "How are you feeling? Any better?"

Kurenai, who had been gradually becoming infatuated, snapped out of her daze after hearing Uchiha Kagami's words. Thinking about her state just now, she couldn't help but blush a little. Reluctantly, she shifted her gaze from Uchiha Kagami's face to the distant sunset and stammered, "Much better, thank you."

Meanwhile, Kurenai's inner voice was screaming wildly: "This is my best friend Yugao's boyfriend! This is my best friend's boyfriend! This is my boyfriend..."

Uchiha Kakuzan, unaware of Kurenai Yuhi's inner thoughts, turned to look at the monster Ido on the cross not far away: "This should be the monster within your disciple's heart. If it were inside your disciple, I would be in some trouble, needing to find a way to extract it from her heart."

Unexpectedly, it was able to come out and take over your body, which is similar to the spirit transformation technique of the Kato clan and the mind transfer technique of the Yamanaka clan.

This is a case of being too clever for your own good. After it leaves your disciple's body, it will lose its greatest asset, allowing me to easily extract it from your body using my eye technique.

Kurenai watched the monster howl silently, remained silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "Thank you, Qiushan-kun. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do with this monster, let alone save my disciple. Am I really useless?"

As Kurenai finished speaking, she looked at Uchiha Kagami, her ruby-like eyes sparkling as she gazed at him, her eyes brimming with tears, which then rolled down her cheeks.

Uchiha Kagami stared blankly at Kurenai Yuhi's stunningly beautiful face, his heart pounding uncontrollably. Seeing tears streaming down her face, he quickly composed himself and comforted her, "It's not your fault. It's just that the Kurama clan's bloodline limit is too special. It not only allows them to control a person's five senses, but also increases their spiritual power."

Your disciple developed this monstrous second personality because she couldn't control such immense spiritual power, and also because she encountered events that caused significant emotional fluctuations. This personality initially protected its master, but now it seems that this monstrous personality is simply too powerful for Yakumo Kurama to suppress.

In time, this monstrous personality will likely devour its master, consuming and replacing Yakumo Kurama's main personality.

Kurenai Yuhi became anxious upon hearing Uchiha Kagami's words: "What should we do then?"

Chapter 177 Kurenai's Choice

Chapter 177 Kurenai's Choice

Upon hearing Uchiha Kagami's words, Kurenai asked anxiously, "Then what should we do?"

Uchiha Kakuzan looked at Kurenai with amusement, as if she were a silly girl. He gently patted Kurenai's head and pointed to the monster Ido, who was still being stabbed with a knife by Uchiha Kakuzan's clone not far away, saying, "Don't worry, I've already caught it. Do you think it can escape?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Kagami's words, Kurenai realized she had asked a foolish question. A little embarrassed, she lightly scratched her cheek with her index finger, her face turning slightly red.

Ignoring the somewhat embarrassed Kurenai, Uchiha Kakuzan looked at the monster and said, "Now there's another problem: what should we do with this monster?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Kagami's words, Kurenai asked curiously, "You've already captured this monster, isn't it easy to deal with him?"

Kurenai was also somewhat curious about what Uchiha Kakuyama meant by the eye technique he had just mentioned, but knowing that it was a secret technique of the Uchiha clan, she pretended not to hear it and didn't mention it.

Uchiha Kakuyama gently shook his head. "I will kill this monster here, but it is a spiritual entity, especially a second personality, which gives me the space to manipulate it."

Uchiha Kakuyama paused for a moment, then said to the curious Kurenai Yuhi, "Now I have three choices. First, I can kill this monster and let its scattered spiritual energy return to Kurama Yakumo's body. However, as you know, Kurama Yakumo's body is not healthy. Such a huge amount of spiritual energy returning to her body will increase the burden on her body, which is why she has always been weak."

Moreover, there's a hidden danger: Kurama Yakumo's mental state isn't good either. After regaining such immense mental power, there's a high possibility he might create a monster.

Uchiha Kakuyama paused briefly, allowing Kurenai Yuhi to process what he had said, before continuing, "The second method, since I captured it from your body, theoretically, if it collapses, it will return to your body after my eye technique ends."

I can torture it to the brink of collapse, rendering it powerless to struggle or resist. When it returns to your body, you can then defeat and absorb it. After fully absorbing it, your mental strength will become incredibly powerful, and your overall power will experience a qualitative leap, potentially reaching Kage level—I'm referring to genjutsu, of course. However, once you reach Kage level, other aspects of your abilities should also see some improvement.

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Kurenai didn't wait for him to mention a third method and pressed on, "Kakuzan-kun, can't you just kill it and absorb it? After all, this is in your illusion, so it should be easy, right? That way, your strength will be even greater."

Uchiha Kakuzan was impressed by Kurenai Yuhi's words. After all, few people would turn down power that was readily available; in fact, many would do anything to gain it.

Uchiha Kakuyama gave Yuhi Kurenai a deep look and then said, "This is the third method I want to mention. After dispersing this monster, I will absorb its scattered spiritual energy. However, I will not use this method. I would rather let it return to Kurama's body and help her kill the monster when she has problems again in the future."

This time, Kurenai was confused. She looked at Uchiha Kakuyama with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why doesn't Kakuyama-kun want power that he can obtain so easily?"

Uchiha Kakuzan knew that if he didn't explain clearly, this silly girl probably wouldn't accept this spiritual power, so he patiently explained, "Because my spiritual power is much stronger than this one, even if you absorb it, the improvement to my strength will be very limited."

Moreover, although this spiritual energy is ownerless, it is still an external force. If I absorb it, it could pose a certain threat to my future strength improvement and breakthroughs.

As he spoke, Uchiha Kakuyama looked at Kurenai Yuhi: "But you are different. If you absorb this spiritual power, your strength can reach the Kage level. If I'm not mistaken, your spiritual power is not very strong to begin with, and the rate of increase is also very slow. Therefore, it is more suitable for you to absorb it."

Uchiha Kakuzan didn't say something explicitly, but Kurenai Yuhi understood what he meant: her potential was limited, and the possibility of her reaching the Kage level in this lifetime was slim. Therefore, she didn't care whether absorbing this unclaimed spiritual energy would affect her future development; she had already gained something anyway.

Kurenai opened her mouth, but didn't say anything in rebuttal. She knew her own situation. Her talent wasn't very high to begin with, and her achievements in this life were limited. Don't be fooled by the fact that she's already a Special Jonin. She also knows that no matter how hard she tries, she'll only ever be an Elite Jonin and will never become a Kage-level ninja.

Furthermore, she didn't have the same burning desire to pursue power, so she needed to know that what Uchiha Kakuyama said was true.

Seeing that Kurenai Yuhi was silent, Uchiha Kakuyama continued, "This is because the monster's spirit is Kurama's second personality, and a second personality that she strongly rejects. Otherwise, no one could absorb it."

Kurenai Yuhi understood what Uchiha Kakuyama meant; the opportunity was rare, and she should cherish it.

Kurenai thought about it and made up her mind. Just as Uchiha Kakuyama said, the opportunity was rare. Since she was a ninja and had embarked on the path of the ninja, who wouldn't want to become strong? The reason she rejected absorbing this spiritual power was because it came from her disciple, and she didn't want to take advantage of her disciple.

However, if I don't absorb it, it will return to Kurama Yakumo and cause great trouble. In that case, would I have to go find Uchiha Kakuyama again? Would I have the nerve to do that?

Moreover, the Uchiha clan is about to move away from the village, so even if I want to find Qiushan-kun then, I may not be able to find him. Besides, there aren't many Kage-level genjutsu masters in the village.

Having thought this through, Kurenai Yuhi made up her mind and looked at Uchiha Kakuyama with a determined gaze, saying, "I accept Kakuyama-kun's kindness. Then I'll trouble you, Kakuyama-kun."

As Kurenai spoke, she bowed slightly to Uchiha Kazuyama, a gesture that revealed to Kazuyama a bottomless chasm and a patch of snow-white skin.

Uchiha Kakuzan quickly looked away and coughed awkwardly, "Cough, it's nothing, just a small favor."

Chapter 178 Kurenai Yuhi Walks into the Trap

Chapter 178 Kurenai Yuhi Walks into the Trap

Now that Kurenai Yuhi has made her decision, Uchiha Kakuzan decided to stop delaying and eliminate this monster as soon as possible.

Uchiha Kakuzan's gaze returned to the monster bound to the cross. With a thought, hundreds of ninja swords suddenly appeared around the monster, floating in mid-air, their tips all pointing at it.

Uchiha Kakuzan waved his hand lightly, and the ninja swords rushed directly towards the monster. As the monster screamed in agony, hundreds of ninja swords were densely embedded in its body, making it almost impossible to see its body anymore.

Then, the ninja sword stuck in its body disappeared, and hundreds more ninja swords flew in from all around. The monster's screams rose to another level, and the cycle repeated itself, with the monster's screams never ceasing.

Seeing this, Uchiha Kakuyama nodded in satisfaction. This was definitely more efficient.

At this rate, let alone three days and three nights, this monster won't even last a day.

After watching the monster's miserable state for a while, Kurenai Yuhi grew a little bored. As long as she didn't get caught up in it, it was still quite enjoyable. So, people's joys and sorrows are different; she just found you noisy. (Monster: Thank you.)

Out of boredom, Kurenai started chatting with Uchiha Kazuyama. Kurenai inquired about how Uchiha Kazuyama and Uzuki Yugao met, and Uchiha Kazuyama gave her a brief account.

Kurenai Yuhi only then realized that Uchiha Kakuyama was actually a captain-level figure in the Anbu, and asked with some curiosity, "Aren't Anbu missions very busy? How come I see you more often, and you have much more free time than Uzuki Yugao, who is just an ordinary member?"

Uchiha Kakuzan hadn't expected Kurenai Yuhi to hit the nail on the head so quickly. He paused for a moment before saying, "I'm basically the link between the Uchiha clan and Konoha. My main task is to maintain friendly relations between the village and Konoha, which is why I have a relatively relaxed schedule." Uchiha Kakuzan couldn't very well say that he had already taken control of the Third Hokage, which was why he didn't need to report to the Anbu for duty.

Upon hearing Uchiha Kyuuyama's words, Kurenai Yuhi remembered the news that the Uchiha clan was about to move away and fell silent. After a while, Kurenai Yuhi cautiously asked, "Kyuuyama-kun, after your Uchiha clan moves away, will you still keep Konoha Village?"

Uchiha Kakuzan fell into deep thought upon hearing Kurenai's words. In truth, he didn't know where his future lay. However, for now, he would likely remain in Konoha, as Mikoto and Tsunade needed his care, as did Uzuki Yugao.

Furthermore, after obtaining the chakra of Ashura and Indra from Naruto and Sasuke, Uchiha Okayama's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan will evolve into the Rinnegan in two years, making him the second person in the world to possess a pair of Rinnegan.

Then, I can sit back and watch the drama unfold, see them fight to the death outside, while I live a quiet life in my own world, having children with my confidantes.

However, Tsunade certainly wouldn't stand idly by while Konoha was in danger. But by then, her strength would have reached the Six Paths level, and she could easily wipe out those who started the war.

After Madara Uchiha is resurrected, he will copy Madara's Rinnegan eye techniques. He can do without anything else, but he really likes the eye technique that requires Susanoo to use—Heavenly Obstruction Star—so much that he must get his hands on it.

Uchiha Kakuzan realized this and came to his senses, seeing Kurenai Yuhi looking at him, waiting for his answer.

"I probably won't move with my clan. After all, there are still people I care about in Konoha Village."

When Kurenai heard what Uchiha Kakuyama said, she was both happy and sad. She was happy that Uchiha Kakuyama would not move away with the Uchiha clan and would stay in Konoha Village, so she would have a chance to meet him again in the future. She was sad because Uchiha Kakuyama stayed because of the person he cared about, and that person was not her, but Uzuki Yugao.

For a moment, only the monster's screams echoed in the space.

Kurenai Yuhi lost interest in chatting with Uchiha Kakuzan, as if she had something on her mind. She only exchanged a few words with Uchiha Kakuzan. Seeing that Kurenai Yuhi was in low spirits, Uchiha Kakuzan focused on manipulating his ninja sword, increasing the frequency of his stabbing at the monster.

Under the modified throwing knife formation of Uchiha Okayama, the screams of the monster bound to the cross visibly weakened over time.

When the monster's voice became almost inaudible, Uchiha Kakuzan stopped torturing it, withdrew the ninja swords surrounding it, and revealed the monster's tattered body.

Uchiha Kakuyama closed his eyes, sensed the monster's condition, and confirmed that it was indeed on the verge of collapse. He then nodded to Kurenai Yuhi, who had recovered, and said, "It's almost done. Get ready. I'll remove the illusion now. At that time, you and this monster will return to your bodies at the same time. Be careful."

Kurenai stared intently at Uchiha Kazuyama, who was patiently giving her instructions. Her eyes were overflowing with affection. She knew that her time alone with Uchiha Kazuyama was coming to an end, and a look of struggle appeared on her face. Finally, after Uchiha Kazuyama's instructions, her expression became firm again.
