Strengthen the insect swarm?
Shino Aburame was also thinking about how to make his insects stronger, but… his insects were already the top among all insects.
How much stronger could they get?
Evolution!
Too difficult.
Right now, he could only try to open a scroll-like space inside his Chakra Pathway to hold more insects.
But that was too hard and needed a lot of time to develop.
"Have you ever thought about gene modification?" Genya looked at Shino and began advising again. "Make your insects merge with the cellular traits of other insects, then let them reproduce!"
"H-How…" Shino listened carefully, seriously considering the possibility.
If—
If he really made his insects merge with the traits of other insects, how strong would they become?
This idea kept expanding in his mind, making his heart race. His limit was insects, but if he could truly fuse other insect genes into his own, his power would increase by leaps and bounds!
After thinking it through, he finally said, "Is that really possible?"
"Of course. Even if you run experiments, it's just your insects undergoing gene recombination and fusion. If it fails, you only lose a few insects!" Genya replied seriously as well.
To Genya, insect gene recombination and fusion were more complicated than creating human cellular medicine, but insects were numerous. As long as one fusion succeeded and reproduced—
Then it would be a success!
If Shino could really create a few super-strong insect species, that would be a breakthrough!
That would truly be the rise of the Aburame clan.
"Really."
Shino seemed to open a new door, his eyes burning with eagerness.
Kurenai kept watching the two talking, her expression becoming speechless.
If the insect's genes were really so easy to recombine, the Aburame clan would have already started merging the insect genes long ago.
"All right. Next, Genya, it's your turn!" After the two finished talking, Kurenai's eyes shifted toward Genya.
She signaled for Genya to begin the test.
Genya nodded and stepped forward, standing opposite Kurenai. They faced each other.
At this moment, Genya's vitality was strong, and his height was almost the same as Kurenai's. Their eyes met.
"Dual Pupils… truly unusual."
This was Kurenai's first time closely observing Genya's eyes — his Dual Pupils.
Their gazes locked.
Kurenai felt Genya's eyes were like a deep abyss, impossible to see through. If she stared for too long, her body even felt a chill.
What was going on?
She had never experienced this when facing other Uchiha clan members before.
Could Genya's eyes be even more special?
Impossible.
Two pupils connected together almost nullify the Sharingan's traits. How could they be more special?
"Teacher, forgive me!" Genya bowed properly and took an attacking stance.
At this posture, Kurenai also grew serious. The moment Genya made his move, she felt a danger rising from deep inside.
This instinctive caution forced her to get serious.
Swish—
As Genya struck out again, Kurenai moved in response!
The two collided for the first time in a simple clash!
Kurenai felt a numbness spreading through her arm as if it had been shocked. She couldn't help but take a half step backward.
But, Genya remained calm and composed, showing no expression. In fact, his attacks became even faster.
Kurenai hurriedly responded.
Bang bang bang.
This time, Kurenai and Genya were locked in battle. Afterimages appeared all around them, making it look like they were evenly matched.
However,
Only Kurenai was fighting at full strength.
Genya moved with ease, clearly holding back and not using his full power.
He was even controlling his strength.
"No, I have to find his weakness!" Kurenai gritted her teeth and forced herself to focus.
As a Jonin, finding the opponent's weakness was an essential skill.
But as the fight went on, Kurenai realized Genya had almost no flaws. Even if she spotted a tiny opening, Genya's next attack would cover it immediately.
So strong.
No wonder Might Guy said Genya's taijutsu talent had already surpassed his own.
At this moment, Genya was almost flawless.
Truly, a monster of the Uchiha clan.
Even without the talent of the Sharingan, he could be this strong?
"Wow~~ Genya is amazing, fighting against Kurenai-sensei for so long!" Hinata watched the fight with stars sparkling in her eyes.
She only had one thought: Genya is so strong!
So strong,
Much stronger than herself.
"Uchiha Genya," Shino held his fist tightly, watching the fight between Genya and Kurenai.
So strong~!
He wondered, facing such a taijutsu master with such tough skin, could he defeat him?
The answer was clear!
He was no match for Genya.
Genya was too strong. If Genya wanted to attack him, he would be defeated almost instantly.
Of course... his bugs were not to be underestimated either. He might have one chance for a desperate counterattack!
"Genya, keep it up~~"
"Genya, keep it up~~"
While Shino Aburame was still lost in thought, Hinata was already cheering for Genya here!
"This is bad. At this rate, I might lose!" Kurenai's fight with Genya was getting more and more intense. In terms of taijutsu, she was already losing.
But as a teacher, she refused to lose so embarrassingly!
"Genjutsu."
Right now, Kurenai could only think of using genjutsu to bind Genya.
"Genjutsu: Binding!"
While fighting Genya, Kurenai quickly formed hand seals and cast the genjutsu!
A mental attack!
The spiritual force infiltrated Genya's mind, interfering with his consciousness!
"Heh. Genya, at your age, reaching this level of power is already impressive!" While trying to control Genya with genjutsu, she spoke out loud.
The fact that she had to use her full strength proved Genya's own ability!
"Teacher, I won!"
But just as Kurenai was still feeling proud, she suddenly noticed Genya in front of her disappear. Then she heard Genya's calm voice!
What?
She quickly turned around and saw Genya standing on a wooden post behind her, smiling at her!
How was this possible?
Kurenai's eyes flickered with countless emotions surging inside her!
Just now, she had clearly started to invade Genya's mind, so why hadn't the genjutsu worked on him?
He had even vanished right before her eyes and appeared on the wooden post behind her.
If Genya had wanted to attack earlier, she would probably be dead now!
Genya was really strong—his power was at least at the Jonin level!
Kurenai felt a complex mix of feelings. Genya was a genius!
"Oh yeah~~ Genya-kun, we won!"
