How did you know you could make Might Guy willingly stay like that?"
Inside the grass,
Kurenai, who had been secretly peeking out, stared at Qianye with undisguised admiration.
"Everyone has different weaknesses."
"So you must deal with each person using a method tailored to them,"
Qianye said with a calm smile.
At the same time, he quietly let out a breath of relief.
Fortunately, he had already predicted that Kakashi cautious by nature ever since his ANBU days might try to pull Might Guy away from the Academy job.
So he had prepared this final move in advance.
Otherwise, it truly would have become troublesome.
"You seem to know Guy extremely well," Kurenai said doubtfully.
"But as far as I remember… you two never crossed paths before, right?"
"Eh…"
"It's not important."
"Since everything went smoothly, let's head back. Come on, I'll treat you to something delicious,"
Qianye said, deftly shifting the topic.
...
Night.
After dinner, Qianye walked Kurenai home.
Kurenai held his hand reluctantly.
Time spent with him always seemed to slip away too quickly…
Qianye chuckled. "It's getting late. Go on home, I'll come find you in a few days."
Kurenai puffed her cheeks. "Sometimes I really don't want you to be clan head… you're always busy and barely have time for me…"
Qianye gently touched Kurenai's soft cheek and smiled. "Once this hectic period ends, I'll definitely make it up to you properly."
When would the shadow of the looming "Night of Extermination" finally be erased from above his head?
Only then would he be able to truly relax.
Fortunately, Kurenai was not the type to be unreasonable; her complaints were merely affectionate pouting.
After Qianye coaxed her with a promise, she finally returned home, satisfied.
Once she had gone inside, Qianye turned around to leave.
At that moment
Soft pink petals suddenly drifted down from the sky.
The scene was poetic… yet tinged with something eerie.
A gentle breeze carried the petals across his face, bringing with them an intoxicating fragrance…
It was beautiful, so beautiful one might instinctively close their eyes… and fall into a pleasant sleep…
No.
No this was wrong!!
Qianye's heart jolted sharply.
His eyes snapped into scarlet focus
Three tomoe spun into place.
Sharingan: Genjutsu Release!
The world around him shattered like glass.
And immediately
Qianye sensed a streak of icy intent.
Killing intent.
In that split-second,
Qianye leaned back
His spine bending at an extreme angle.
A cold blade flashed past the tip of his nose
Missing by less than a breath!!
Qianye kicked off the ground and slid backward.
He raised his gaze sharply.
Who dared attack him
Inside the heart of Konohagakure?!
But the moment he saw the attacker's face
Qianye froze in shock.
Long hair. Refined features bearing a resemblance to Kurenai.
A lavish but practical samurai-style outfit, and a noble, disciplined aura.
If Qianye was not mistaken
This was none other than Yūhi Seihan (Sunset Ocean in your text),
Kurenai's older brother, a jōnin known for his mastery of Genjutsu and kenjutsu combined.
And right now
He was looking at Qianye with a gaze full of killing intent.
Sunset clan details (Yūhi clan)
Genjutsu accuracy
Fire Release accuracy
Sharingan (three-tomoe) mechanics
Mokuton clone mechanics
Relationship logic between Kurenai and her brother
Combat logic consistent with Naruto manga
Here is the improved version:
---
He is also the current patriarch of the Yūhi (Sunset) clan.
But thinking of how this guy had attacked just now,
If he hadn't awakened the fully-matured three-tomoe Sharingan in time and broken the Genjutsu
He might very well be lying dead by now!
Therefore, Qianye's expression at the moment was extremely grim.
"Oh? To think you've already awakened the three-tomoe at such a young age. No wonder you dispelled my Genjutsu so quickly…"
Sunset Yang said expressionlessly.
Qianye kept silent, simply waiting for him to continue.
"My sister is getting bolder and bolder," he said coldly.
"For something as big as falling in love, she actually dared hide it from me."
"Especially when the person she chose belongs to the Uchiha clan."
When he said this, Sunset Yang looked at Qianye whose face had darkened—and added icily:
"I even wonder if you're deliberately seducing my sister, so that you can rope the Yūhi clan into your Uchiha camp and use us to oppose the village elders together!"
Qianye replied in a low voice, "I've never had such an idea. Because… we Uchiha are more than enough on our own."
"Heh… Truly fitting for the prideful Uchiha."
"But saying things like that won't earn even a shred of my approval."
"In short stay away from my sister."
"Otherwise, I won't care that you're a clan head."
Sunset Yang's gaze was icy as he spoke.
"Sorry," Qianye said, shrugging helplessly, "I can't agree to that request."
Sunset Yang's eyes froze
"You're courting death!!"
His foot tapped lightly, and in the next instant, his figure shot toward Qianye like an arrow.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!!"
Qianye completed several rapid hand seals.
A blazing line of flame erupted from his mouth, expanding instantly into a massive fireball that surged forward!
"Yūhi-Style: Cloud Stream Slash!!"
Sunset Yang swung his katana down, releasing a nearly tangible arc of white blade-wind!
It sliced through the fireball as if cutting tofu.
The flames split cleanly in two.
Sunset Yang passed straight through the center of the broken fireball, closing in on Qianye with killing intent.
Meanwhile, Qianye continued forging seals!
"Hmph."
"I don't know why those old Uchiha fossils let a brat like you become clan head…"
"But this is where it ends!"
Sunset Yang sneered coldly.
His katana pushed into Qianye's body little by little
"…Huh!?"
But soon,
Sunset Yang realized something was off.
The sensation traveling through the blade did not feel like piercing human flesh at all…
He looked up
His expression instantly changed.
The "Qianye" before him was turning into wood, bit by bit.
And with a strange chuckle, it grabbed Sunset Yang's arm tightly with both hands
His arm was completely immobilized, the katana jammed in place, and Yūhi Yang was forced into a passive position!
His face froze between confusion, shock, and disbelief…
"The Wood Clone has a unique advantage over the ordinary Shadow Clone"
Qianye said as he stepped out from the shadows with a smile.
"It's sturdier, and it doesn't disappear after being struck."
"So I like using it as a trap… just like right now."
"I see…"
"I can understand now why you became the Uchiha patriarch,"
Sunset Yang muttered.
"The reason you don't want Kurenai involved with me," Qianye continued softly, "is because you fear the Uchiha might lose or even be wiped out in the next confrontation with the village leadership."
"If she gets too close to Uchiha now, she risks being targeted afterward."
"So I get it. And honestly, if I were you… I'd probably act the same way."
Sunset Yang's eyes flickered with surprise
He clearly hadn't expected Qianye to say something like that.
"I really want to swear an oath to you," Qianye said, "and say something that would definitely make Kurenai happy in the future."
"But I think that's too childish, and I doubt it would impress you."
"So instead, I'll just prove it with actions."
"That method suits me better."
After saying that,
Qianye released the wooden vines restraining Sunset Yang,
Turned around,
And walked away under the moonlight.
In the pale glow,
Sunset Yang stared at Qianye's departing back his expression complex, as if unsure of what he was feeling…
