Despite being a non-lethal technique, Genjutsu is regarded as one of the most powerful and feared techniques in Naruto. Users of Genjutsu can trap their targets in their illusionary world, enveloping them with a phantom experience by affecting all five senses. Genjutsu can also be used to manipulate the targets and use them as puppets.Although the Uchiha clan has produced many excellent Genjutsu users due to their Sharingan, only Kuranai has earned the title of best Genjutsu user. While Kurenai neither possesses the Sharingan nor is she a member of the Uchiha clan, Naruto fans are perplexed as to why she is regarded as the best Genjutsu user.Exploring the reason behind Kurenai's being dubbed the best Genjutsu user in NarutoKurenai is hailed as the Genjutsu prodigy and even considered the number one Genjutsu user in Konoha. This is due to her immense prowess in Yin Release, which only a few individuals could master. Apart from her flower Petal Escape and Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death, Kurenai possesses vast knowledge about terrifying Genjutsu techniques.However, she didn’t get enough screen time to showcase her true potential. Kurenai is even proficient in combating the effects of Sharingan's Genjutsu techniques, as seen during her fight with Itachi, who is more powerful than the former, and also regarded as a Genjutsu master. Itachi was surprised to see that someone was on par with him.Edmond Dantès@KING_MMBJYall forgetting the greatest genjutsu user in naruto kurenai remember this great scene twitter.com/AniMatesTV_/st…#AniMatesPodcast@AniMatesTV_‘ WHO the BEST Genjutsu user in the series ‘youtu.be/30cpwjTHuNk#AniMatesPodcast152‘ WHO the BEST Genjutsu user in the series ‘youtu.be/30cpwjTHuNk#AniMatesPodcast https://t.co/mynrHu5Aq6Yall forgetting the greatest genjutsu user in naruto kurenai remember this great scene 😂💀💀 twitter.com/AniMatesTV_/st… https://t.co/uIT8xxOfSIKurenai is proficient in casting her Genjutsu on more than one target. She easily subdued two of the Akatsuki members, Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha in her Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death. However, Itachi successfully escaped the technique by reversing it onto the caster, and Kurenai managed to break free by biting her lips, inducing the pain to regain her senses.Kurenai’s timing was so perfect that even a second could have cost her, her life. She even got praised for her prowess in Genjutsu by Itachi, which is regarded as one of the greatest achievements of Kurenai.🌸𝑷𝑹𝑰𝑴𝑹𝑶𝑺𝑬 — #НетВойне@lebensmiudeFor example, the Uchiha Clan are natural users of genjutsu due to their Sharingan. Other ninjas like Kurenai Yūhi are experts in the use of illusions in battle. In her case, she uses hand seals to perform top-notch genjutsu and fight the proficient user Itachi Uchiha.242For example, the Uchiha Clan are natural users of genjutsu due to their Sharingan.

In the first three official databooks by Masashi Kishimoto, Kurenai consecutively scored the highest points in Genjutsu alone.During Naruto's Konoha Crush Arc, Kurenai single-handedly repelled the Genjutsu that fell over the stadium and later joined the defensive force to protect Konoha from invaders. Due to her Genjutsu prowess, Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi assigned Kurenai to train Yakumo, a member of the infamous Kurama clan.hyuuga@hatakesbui don't like how they made kurenai pregnant to lessen her screen time in the series and that i haven't seen her have a 1v1 fight against a strong opponent despite her being "the strongest genjutsu user in konoha" and her strong potential to be a baddie in the series.312i don't like how they made kurenai pregnant to lessen her screen time in the series and that i haven't seen her have a 1v1 fight against a strong opponent despite her being "the strongest genjutsu user in konoha" and her strong potential to be a baddie in the series. https://t.co/pMQukSm7rfThe Kurama clan is known for their unique Kekkei Genkai, which is based on unique yet fearsome Genjutsu skills. However, not all clan members possess this Kekkei Genkai, as this technique automatically manifests in a special individual born once every few generations.🔩🥗@narutodoxFor starters, Kurenai was considered the best Genjutsu user in Konoha. This is what granted her status as a Jonin, so she was bound to use her Genjutsu at some point. You wouldn’t send a specialist in taijutsu against someone who can easily terminate you at long range. +51For starters, Kurenai was considered the best Genjutsu user in Konoha.

As Yakumo couldn’t control her Kekkei Genkai, Kurenai sealed the former’s ability with a cursed seal, as it would endanger other’s lives.After Kurenai found out that she was pregnant with Mirai, she retired to look after her child. However, she still remains one of the best Genjutsu users of Konoha.Disclaimer: All external media in this article are the property of their respective owners, and Sportskeeda claims no ownership of the same.
