If there's one word to describe the pommel horse family for more than a year, it's moisture.

Because of the outstanding performance of the family's rookie Kurama in the middle ninja exam, the high-level leaders of Konoha once again paid attention to this ancient family that had gone into decline.

After a battle between the high-level leaders, the Kurama family was finally taken into the arms of Danzo, one of the elders of Konoha. At this point, the other big families of Konoha realized that on this huge cake of Konoha, there was destined to be another eater named Kurama.

But thankfully, it's not too early. Due to various reasons, there are only a dozen active ninjas in the Kurama family. Among them, the excellent ones are only the middle ninja, and as for the upper ninja, there is none.

If such a weak family wants to grow into a behemoth, it will take at least nearly ten years to wait for visual inspection. So the big families are not very nervous right now. Ten years, they have enough time to react.

Of course, ten years has to be guaranteed on the premise of the full support of the Konoha patriarch Tuanzang. However, judging from the current situation alone, Danzang can really be called sparing no effort to support the Kurama family.

Shimura Danzo, the existence of Konoha veterans. Like the third generation of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash, they are all subordinates of the former second generation of Hokage's Thousand Hands. Although he doesn't have any real job now, no one in the various families of Konoha dares to underestimate him.

Since he moved from the front of the stage to the back of the scenes four years ago, the group has become more and more mysterious. Few people knew exactly what he was doing. But one thing is certain, that is, his old ministries in the shadows are still loyal to him without hesitation, and those resources that belong to him are also not touched by any interest group.

With the support of such a powerful patriarch, the Pommel Horse clan is perfectly nourished.

First of all, almost all of the active ninjas in the Kurama family have received special care, and some of them have been transferred to a team centered on the ninjas of the Kurama family.

Secondly, in order to make up for the frailty of the Kurama family, Tuanzang put a lot of effort into it. Not to mention the physical strength of his teammates, there are also a lot of precious medicines and sophisticated instruments that can be used to enhance physical fitness.

In the process of this series, the financial and material resources used made the other families of Konoha staggered. And Kurama Congyun, who is the patriarch of the Kurama clan, is even more secretly furious in his heart.

Although he had learned that the Kurama family would be supported during his contact with Danzo, he did not expect that the support of the other party would be so great. Danzang's generosity had already flattered him.

The purpose of Danzo's support for the Kurama family can be seen by everyone, which is to tie the Kurama family to his political chariot. But how much can such a weak pommel horse family give back to him? Kurama Congyun expressed deep concern about this.

In the end, what everyone else didn't expect was that Danzou had only one request that wasn't too much, and that was to teach Kurama Yakumo alone!

Kurama Yakumo, a girl who is known as the most talented contemporary Kurama family. The owner is even more talented in illusion than Eko, but it's a pity that the congenital lack of physical condition has caused her to not even be qualified to continue her studies at the ninja school.

But now, the patriarch of Konoha, the former subordinate of the second Hokage, and the powerhouse of the same level as the Hokage. He actually proposed to teach Yakumo personally.

Faced with this request, which was not a requirement at all, Kurama Congyun and his wife quickly agreed. After all, in this way, his daughter may become a ninja and inherit the Kurama family. Parents in the world don't want their children to be happy and happy, so even if they know that even if they want to see Yakumo in the future, they will be subject to many restrictions, so they agreed to Danzo's request.

In this way, Yakumo was taken away by Danzo and placed in Satomiyaka Villa.

In the six months that followed, Yakumo's parents went to see her a few times. Xi Rihong, the tutor arranged for her by the three generations, also visited her several times. However, when they went to Satomiyaka Villa again after this, they got a notice that Yakumo refused to meet.

And just like that, a year passed. The ninjas of the Kurama family have made great strides in the team, and their strength has also improved. Although there is still no ninja who has become an upper ninja, three lower ninjas have been successfully promoted to middle ninja.

The ninjas of the Kurama clan, who had been boosted in status and strength, didn't notice that their patriarch, Kurama Congyun, hadn't seen his daughter for a year.

However, this is the exception of Eiko.

Eko is different from the others, she is good enough, so when Danzang gave gifts to the family, she didn't accept anything, and she didn't accept the deployment of the team. Basically, it can be concluded that Eiko will be the first person in the current Kurama family to become a shinobi if nothing else.

At the same time, Eko and Yakumo, who have no psychological pressure, are also the best sisters. For not seeing her cousin for more than a year, Eko expressed great worry.

That's why she decided to come and seek Qingyang's help.

……

After listening to Eko's narration, Qingyang pinched her chin and said.

"Well, it's really unconscionable that Yakumo hasn't shown up for more than a year. But logically it does make sense, and it is very likely that the patriarch of the group is conducting closed training for Yakumo. There is nothing wrong with not being able to have contact with the outside world during this time. ”

Eko nodded, she had thought about what Qingyang said before. But then she took out something with a solemn face and put it on the table.

"It's ...... Plank?"

Qingyang strangely picked up the things on the table, and after a closer look, he only saw that it was an ordinary wooden board.

"This is probably wood used in construction, is there anything wrong?"

Sogo also took the plank and came to the same conclusion after reading it.

"No, it's a piece of wood that has been burned after a house caught fire. ”

Eko shook her head and explained.

"Burned?"

Qingyang and Sogo felt a little confused, looking at the smooth and neat surface of the wood, and the fracture was still very fresh.

"Are you sure?"

Teko took the plank and sighed.

"In fact, it's a piece of the wall of the Congyun Patriarch's house, and the reason why it's said to have been burned is because everyone in the Kurama clan thinks it was burned. ”

"What do you mean?"

The two of them were completely confused.

"Half a month ago, the patriarch's house suddenly caught fire. In the end, although the crowd used water to extinguish the fire. The house eventually collapsed as well. But I found this when I went there again later. ”

As she spoke, Eko took out another wooden board, which looked incomplete and charred black in large part of it.

"This ......"

The two didn't say much this time, they knew that Eko must have something to do.

"These two planks are actually the same, but what you see is an illusion. What does it really look like...... Solution !!"

Eko's hands were sealed, and the plank began to change, and the blackened color began to distort. Gradually revealing its true face. A plank that was also merely mechanically damaged.

"Illusions?your?"

Sogo asked subconsciously, and Eko glared at him.

"Am I so idle? I'm using a spell on a board to show you. And...... I can't do it right now.

As I said earlier, the patriarch's house is on fire. Then everyone used water to fight the fire. But you can see this plank as well.

In fact, the house didn't catch fire at all, and it collapsed because of the impact of the water! But no one saw through it! Everyone was kept in the dark until now!"

"How could there be such an illusion! What illusion could fool all the illusion ninjas in the Kurama family and last for so long. ”

Sogo said he couldn't believe it at all.

Indeed, many people will not believe it when they say it. But this is the power of the Kurama clan's ultimate illusion. Deceives people's five senses and reinterprets the world. As long as you can't see through it, it's real......"

"Does this illusion really exist? Can anyone really master it?"

Haruyo and Sogo said in shock, and at the same time, they immediately understood what Eko was worried about.

"If anyone can master it now, it's most likely ......"

"Yakumo. ”
