Naruto: Starting With Three Tomoe Sharingan, Girlfriend Kushina

Chapter 63: Was Ryun Beaten to Death? The Blur Between Reality and Illusion



"I... I was really wrong..."

Kushina was so frightened that her face turned pale, almost on the verge of tears!

"Huh? What's wrong, little cutie? Why are you about to cry again? I just wanted you to admit you were wrong."

"You already apologized, and I forgave you. Big brother will untie the ropes for you now!"

Ryun reached out and touched her cheek, then smiled as he untied all the ropes binding her.

"Alright, it's getting late. We've already delayed today's training. Let's hurry and begin..."

Ryun took Kushina's small hand and prepared to lead her to the big tree where they trained last time.

"Hehe... Yeah, we should start now, Ryun..."

Kushina lowered her head, her eyes suddenly gleaming with a terrifying cold light. Her long red hair lifted slightly without any wind as she suddenly called out to Ryun.

"Hm? What else..."

Ryun instinctively turned to look back, only to see Kushina staring at him with a twisted grin.

"!!!"

The next moment, an irresistible, monstrous force pulled at his wrist. Ryun was violently yanked toward Kushina.

"Die, you bastard!"

A pale but iron-hard fist smashed into his face. The punch was so powerful that Ryun's saliva flew out from the impact!

Before he could react, the force at his wrist struck again. Ryun felt himself being lifted into the air before being slammed hard onto the solid ground.

He was thrown into a brutal shoulder toss, crashing face-first into the dirt. But before his dazed mind could process it, a delicate foot stomped directly onto his handsome face...

Kushina's face was now filled with a frenzied grin, her excitement unrestrained as she mercilessly beat Ryun with punches and kicks.

Her attacks were vicious, as if she had lost all reason, striking the boy with intent to kill!

Soon, Ryun lay in a pool of blood, his face swollen and bruised, blood gushing from his nose and mouth. The scene was horrifying, the brutality pushed to the extreme!

Seeing the bloodied figure on the ground, Kushina's pupils shrank to pinpoints, her grin freezing instantly...

"H-how did this happen?!" Staring at her blood-stained hands, Kushina's face turned from red to white.

"R-Ryun..."

She had only wanted to teach him a lesson. Why was there so much blood? How had Ryun ended up so badly injured?

-----

In reality.

Ryun, picking his nose, stared at the dazed, tear-streaked face beside him.

This girl's ropes had never actually been untied... From the moment their eyes met, she had already fallen into his genjutsu...

With mental power far surpassing Kushina's, Ryun didn't even need to activate his Sharingan. Just locking eyes at close range was enough to trap her in an illusion.

Watching Kushina shift from grinning wildly to shock, fear, and finally tears, Ryun decided the timing was right and released the genjutsu, pulling her consciousness back to reality.

Kushina had been kneeling beside Ryun, sobbing uncontrollably, but in the next instant, the world spun violently. When she opened her eyes again, she saw the completely unharmed Uchiha Ryun standing beside her...

"???"

"You... you... you..."

Kushina's face was filled with shock. She froze for a long time before finally snapping back to reality.

'I was just controlled by Ryun's genjutsu!'

"How... did you do that?"

This time, Kushina's reaction wasn't anger but intense curiosity and wariness. All her rage had already been vented inside the illusion...

And this wasn't the first time she'd fallen for a genjutsu. She needed to understand how to avoid it in the future.

Hearing this, Ryun smiled faintly. He gently cupped Kushina's face again, pressing his forehead against hers, his dark eyes staring deeply into hers.

"O-oh... it's... the eyes?"

Kushina's face paled slightly, her voice trembling as she swallowed hard.

A while later.

Ryun untied the ropes around Kushina's legs first, then suddenly knelt down and hugged her thighs, surrendering:

"Nana, I was wrong... Please calm down..."

His tone was sincere, his attitude completely submissive...

Time was running out. They had already wasted enough time. If they didn't start training soon, they wouldn't finish their morning session.

"!!!"

Kushina was startled by his sudden change in behavior, unable to comprehend what he was playing at...

After a long pause, she realized this was his way of giving her a way out. Understanding this, she kicked him away.

"Untie the rest of the ropes right now!"

Kushina glared at him fiercely.

"But you can't hit me..."

"Hehe..."

Kushina let out a cold laugh.

"I'll count to three."

"1..."

"2..."

A flash of cold steel—the kunai sliced through the remaining ropes in an instant!

Rubbing her sore skin, the pain felt all too real. It didn't feel like an illusion at all.

But... this bastard was standing right in front of her, seemingly full of openings.

Ryun gently tugged at her clothes, his bowed head and apologetic demeanor... it all felt wrong!

Kushina's expression flickered between suspicion and confusion. She couldn't tell if this was reality or another illusion.

She felt like she wasn't under genjutsu anymore, but Ryun's behavior was too strange. It was as if she was trapped in another illusion...

Especially when their foreheads had touched earlier. She had clearly seen a flash of red in his eyes!

The conditions for genjutsu were met again. Maybe she had unknowingly fallen into another one...

Kushina didn't know how to break genjutsu, nor how to distinguish reality from falsehood. Helpless, she could only wave her hand in resignation:

"Release the genjutsu... I won't hit you anymore..."

"Nana, what are you talking about? I'm not using genjutsu on you." Ryun tilted his head in confusion.

"???"

"Are you sure?"

Kushina frowned, her fists itching uncomfortably.

"Of course! If you're not hitting me, why would I use genjutsu?"

Ryun took her hand in his.

"Alright, it's getting late. We've already delayed today's training. Let's hurry and begin..."

"!!!"

Kushina felt like she was going insane!

Wasn't this exactly what he had said in the illusion?

Even the tone was identical... Ryun's back looked the same as before. How could this not be an illusion?

"I... I was wrong... Let's make up!!!"

This time, Kushina was genuinely scared—and genuinely resigned...

Ryun hadn't actually hurt her. So what if he made her angry? She could forgive him...

From the slap on her butt yesterday afternoon until now, she had been the one suffering. If this kept up, nothing would change.

This guy was just too strong. Kushina realized she was nowhere near his level right now.

Rather than ruining her mood and messing with her head, it was better to just stop here and reconcile.

Once she learned everything from him, she could always find a reason to teach him a lesson later.
