At night, Itsuki lay in bed, pondering his ability to fabricate the future.
He had created three future plans before: one to open his Sharingan and awaken Wood Release, one to strengthen his talent and master Wood Release, and the third mainly to save Karin, which could now be excluded.
Not much time had passed, and now his strength was enough to rival a semi-kage level.
However, in terms of tactical awareness and combat experience, he could still only be considered an Jonin.
In the final analysis, his rapid growth had outpaced his foundation, which could only be solidified through time and countless battles.
Now, if he wanted to continue improving quickly, Itsuki decided to learn genjutsu.
His Sharingan had been opened to three tomoe, already used for dynamic vision and copying techniques, but its greatest strength lay in illusions.
Just as Chiyo had warned, encountering an opponent with Sharingan alone was dangerous.
Once caught in its illusions, breaking free by oneself was difficult. By the time you tried, your head and body might already be separated.
Unfortunately, very few people in Konoha were skilled in genjutsu. The only true expert was Kurenai Yuhi.
Kurenai had no bloodline inheritance here, and the teachings from her family alone were insufficient to fully display her talent.
Of course, Itsuki didn't need Kurenai's raw strength—he only needed someone who could teach him the theory and application of genjutsu.
Kurenai Yuhi was perfect.
"Even though she's not a member of the group, we can't just make up stories about her future. Luckily, she's Hinata's leading Jonin, so we can tie her into Hinata's future as well," Itsuki thought.
He had considered this yesterday but had fallen asleep before finalizing his plan.
Now, adding a few details, he quickly created the 'future' he wanted and submitted it to the system.
With a soft ding, a notification appeared that a future video clip had been uploaded to the group.
[Tenten: Here it comes, it's finally here!]
[Yamanaka Ino: I've been waiting so long! The video is so small every time, it's never enough!]
[Haruno Sakura: What you said makes me feel like I'm watching a TV drama.]
[Uzumaki Karin: I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder if I'll be in it...]
[Mitarashi Anko: I'm the newcomer, and I'm also Itsuki's sister, so this one's definitely mine! Don't worry!]
[Haruno Sakura: I… forget it. I don't want to say anything.]
[Hyuga Hinata: …]
[Yamanaka Ino: Watch a movie, watch a movie…]
The future video begins—
[At a training ground in Konoha, the three members of Team 8 were conducting their daily training.]
[Shino released a swarm of insects to attack Hinata. She stood calmly, forming hand signs as a series of phantoms emerged.]
[From the video, Hinata's index and middle fingers released long chakra beams from each hand.]
[As her hands swung, the beams cut through dozens of insects, splitting them in half before dropping them.]
[Despite the swarm, Hinata was too fast; no insect came within one meter of her.]
[Nearby, Kiba and Akamaru watched, looking for an opportunity to attack. But Hinata's attacks were too precise. Finding no chance, they froze.]
[Kiba finally thought he saw an opening and moved with Akamaru. However, Hinata had deliberately exposed a flaw to lure him into a trap.]
[The result was obvious. Kiba and Akamaru ended up with bleeding wounds, retreating quickly.]
[Yamanaka Ino: Are you kidding? This is Hinata?]
[Haruno Sakura: Why Hinata? This is the second time!]
[Tenten: Well, I haven't seen Hinata fight much, but this isn't the strength I know, right?]
[Uzumaki Karin: Didn't Hinata get a buff? Why are you still surprised?]
[Yamanaka Ino: The buff only increases base stats. Hinata's moves are clearly new. @Hyuga Hinata]
[Hyuga Hinata: Huh? I don't know!]
[Mitarashi Anko: I don't care why, but I'm very unhappy now!]
[Haruno Sakura: …]
The video continues—
[The scene zooms out. As Shino and Kiba team up against Hinata, their teacher Kurenai Yuhi is giving special attention to someone else.]
[A young man, the same age as the three children, with black hair and striking features, appears—it's Itsuki!]
[The footage shows Kurenai teaching Itsuki genjutsu. Both were focused—teacher and student engaged in serious practice. Kurenai looked pleased, and Itsuki showed deep respect.]
[Itsuki quickly learned a technique and dashed into Team 8's melee, performing hand seals. All three members fell into a daze. He then returned to Kurenai to continue learning.]
[When the three finally broke free, Itsuki used another set of seals to trap them again.]
[After several cycles, Kurenai dismissed Team 8 and left holding Itsuki's hand.]
The video ends, and the screen fades to black.
[Hyuga Hinata: …]
[Haruno Sakura: Pfft! Forgive my fake laugh. I'd rather not deal with future videos like this.]
[Yamanaka Ino: I feel like Itsuki is more like Teacher Kurenai's biological child, while Hinata and you guys are all adopted.]
[Tenten: Anyway, Hinata showed off her new abilities. She's strong, right? If it was before her buff, I definitely wouldn't match her. Haha! The rest was hilarious!]
[Uzumaki Karin: I wanted to be in the video too, but I didn't get a chance. The latter part is really funny, haha!]
[Hyuga Hinata: ToT]
[Mitarashi Anko: Something's wrong. Absolutely wrong!]
[Yamanaka Ino: What's wrong?]
[Mitarashi Anko: Kurenai actually stole my brother from me! Look at her holding Itsuki's hand—it's unforgivable!]
[Hyuga Hinata: …]
[Haruno Sakura: I just realized Itsuki is actually pretty amazing. And he seems to be getting more handsome. I was too narrow-minded before!]
[Yamanaka Ino: Something's wrong. Absolutely wrong! Are you, Broad Forehead, going to fall in love with someone else too?]
[Haruno Sakura: I won't. My feelings for Sasuke-kun are unwavering, and even the Sage of Six Paths can't sway me! But Ino, why did you say "too"?]
[Tenten: Could Teacher Kurenai have joined the group before this video happened?]
[Uzumaki Karin: Tenten is saying Kurenai might want the buff too, so she treats Itsuki specially?]
[Mitarashi Anko: That must be it! With Kurenai's personality, she wouldn't normally be this close to a little boy. I absolutely can't let her take my brother—I must stop her!]
[Mitarashi Anko: You guys, if I ever join the group, no one is allowed to mention the buff effect!]
[Hyuga Hinata: …]
