Chapter 51 You call this a genin assessment?
In the dim forest, a pair of soft, fair hands gently rose.
"boom--"
A violent burst of flames, like a high-pressure water jet, erupted from those small hands, forming a perfectly orderly fan shape that covered the group of demons and monsters in front of it.
These strangely shaped creatures, resembling monsters from a supernatural tale illustration, are ferocious enough to be considered decent scare props in a haunted house, but in the face of the all-purifying flames, they are merely frightening.
The demons and monsters were burned by Akali with Annie's W.
You know what, even though Akali's gacha system is a bit complicated now, some of her skills are really good at clearing minions.
Of course, Akali cleared the minions quickly, but these monsters were only a small part of Kurama Yakumo's preparations.
Following the demons and monsters, a dozen or so black wolves, characteristic of the ninja world, rushed out of the forest.
In most cases, wolves are only about the height of a normal person's thigh, but this time, the pack of black wolves that rushed out were all the size of heavy motorcycles.
Their limbs are thick and strong, their fur is cold and stiff, their green eyes seem to be shining, and their wide-open wolf mouths drip with foul-smelling saliva. If you look closely at their interlocking canine teeth, you can see that there are still bits of scarlet flesh inside that haven't been cleaned out!
As a fictional creation, Yakumo Kurama did an excellent job in terms of detail.
"That's great!" Akali couldn't help but exclaim.
At least compared to the previous group of bizarre monsters that made one question the creator's mental state at the time, this group of black wolves was more in line with her aesthetic.
Since that's the case, then let's respect it!
Akali's mind stirred, and a part of her spirit was infused into the shadow beneath her feet in some mysterious way.
The next second, a dark shadow moved along the ground, from Akali's feet, and quickly arrived in the middle of the wolf pack.
Then, the shadow close to the ground suddenly expanded, and a shadow Akali appeared, composed entirely of shadows and dressed in a typical ninja outfit.
Shadow Clone
The moment it appeared, Shadow Akali began to spin.
Shadow Technique: Demon Slash, Shadow Technique: Double-Edged Sword, My Style: Cold Shadow, My Style: Falcon Dance!
Akali's abilities were unleashed by Shadow Akali, with massive shurikens slicing back and forth, and sharp cross scythes cutting through precise and deadly trajectories.
In just a few swift movements, Akali's shadow clones wiped out the once-mighty wolf pack.
However, in this round of attacks, the wolf pack in front was actually just bait!
Behind Akali, a giant tiger, as big as a small car, crouched low and walked towards her with light, cat-like steps.
Thanks to the feline instincts and the thick pads on the tiger's paws, this stealthy movement was completely silent.
Unfortunately, Akali's scanning was constantly active, not to mention the giant tiger's chakra, which was as obvious as a torch in her perception!
In the game, scanning accessories can only be done for a few seconds before it stops, but reality is not a game.
They replaced it with a chakra-powered scanning accessory that can be used for as long as desired.
So, when the giant tiger came up behind Akali, its clawed paws slammed down, Akali's figure blurred for a moment, and a shadow clone took her place!
Akali herself, on the other hand, swapped locations with her shadow clone by teleporting.
"Snapped!"
The giant tiger swatted away the shadow clone with a single claw, and the shattered shadow clone returned to Akali's feet as a shadow.
At the same time, a burning explosive tag fell to the ground!
"boom--"
A violent explosion engulfed the giant tiger, and thick smoke spread!
Seeing this, Akali formed a simple hand seal: "Wind Release: Typhoon Passes!"
"Whoohoo-"
The hurricane swept through, dispersing the thick smoke, and the battered giant tiger reappeared before Akali's eyes.
"Oh, it seems like I infused more chakra this time. It hasn't even dissipated after taking an explosive tag!"
"Then how about this?"
Akali raised her hand and threw out a ball of fire.
Faced with Akali's attack, the giant tiger struggled to dodge.
Unfortunately, Akali threw Shatterfire this time, which can track its target.
"Crack!" The giant tiger shattered!
Thus, Akali has eliminated Yakumo Kurama's illusionary creations one by one, from driving her away from Kurenai Yuhi's army of tree-people, to the demons and monsters that followed, and now to the jackals and tigers.
Looking at the unresponsive forest, Akali was somewhat disappointed: "Have you exhausted all your tricks? The one lurking in the shadows?"
"I admit, your technique is indeed unique, but unfortunately, your understanding is too poor, and you haven't been able to unleash your full potential!"
Yes, after fighting for so long, Akali has come to understand Kurama Yakumo's abilities.
It is a real illusion, and it is also the same five senses control as Aizen next door, but it is not as amazing as it is touted to be.
Because Yakumo Kurama's ability is essentially a very special kind of Yin Release bloodstain.
While the ability to manipulate the five senses does exist, it is not as powerful as Aizen's, because their essence and form are different.
Aizen's control is true control; everything you see and hear is decided by Aizen.
However, Yakumo Kurama's control is essentially based on the Yin Release technique of creating form from nothingness.
Just like adding layers in Photoshop, or drawing something new on top of a painting, Yakumo Kurama can only add new things, not erase old things. At most, she can cover them up, but she can't do that either.
As for why Yakumo Kurama's illusions can cause damage...
To put it simply, in Akali's scan, those wolves, tigers, the treants, and the ghosts all had physical forms.
They are actually the same thing as Akali's shadow clones.
This is why Akali said that Kurama Yakumo's understanding was flawed.
After all, the combat power of a creation depends on the imagination and insight of its creator.
The tree-man in front and the jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards behind are alright, but what on earth are those demons and monsters in the middle?
It's fierce enough, but the details are extremely well done. This may be due to Yakumo Kurama's painterly instincts. Her drawing skills are indeed very good. Akali even wanted to invite her to do comics.
As for strength... just look at how Akali wiped out a whole group of demons and monsters with a single burn attack.
The only purpose of these things is to deplete Akali's chakra, but after undergoing training with Keban, Akali is no longer short of chakra.
Of course, Yakumo Kurama clearly wouldn't listen to these words.
[Ding! Emotional value from Yakumo Kurama +999!]
"What did you say!"
Say it again!
After fighting for so long, this was the first time Akali heard Yakumo Kurama's voice.
Unlike the bizarre monster from before, Yakumo Kurama's voice was surprisingly soft and clear.
Although Akali already knew through the emotion value system that Yakumo Kurama was helping Kurenai Yuhi, she still felt a little strange when she actually heard Yakumo Kurama's voice.
She hadn't expected to get an answer.
Because if she were Kurenai Yuhi, she would definitely not want the genin being tested to know that she needed to ask for outside help to organize a genin exam, as that would be too embarrassing.
Speaking of which, she hadn't seen Kurenai since Akali was driven away.
Akali initially thought Kurenai was just waiting for an opportunity, but now it seems, where is Kurenai?
She should be in charge of this assessment!
Akali sensed something was wrong and had some guesses in her mind, but she couldn't be sure for the time being.
Akali then gave a provocative smile: "What's wrong? It's pathetic enough to be a lurking shadow in the dark, but now you've even got hearing problems?"
"I mean, come on, you're really weak! Don't fight alone, hurry up and call Kurenai Yuhi over to help, didn't you say you were going to test me?"
Akali confidently crossed her arms, further highlighting her already formidable physique: "My full potential hasn't even been revealed yet!"
"Damn it!" Yakumo Kurama snorted coldly.
Staring at Akali, her icy gaze seemed capable of piercing knives.
She hates Akali.
It's not because of these provocative remarks now, but from the very beginning!
From the moment she saw Akali, she developed a deep aversion to this beautiful woman.
Kurenai's worries were not unfounded; Yakumo Kurama would indeed feel a stinging sensation because of Akali.
Akali, dressed in a red and white kimono, looked as beautiful and elegant as a young lady on a picnic, which was exactly the perfect Akali that Kurama Yakumo had envisioned.
Upon first seeing Akali, Yakumo Kurama subconsciously compared herself to her.
The question is, what are the results of the comparison?
Face? Akali's oval face is perfect with delicate features, while hers is just an ordinary girl with small features.
Skin tone? Both of them are fair-skinned, but Akali's is a natural fair complexion, which is a plus. Akali's pale, almost lifeless complexion, on the other hand, is a clear minus.
Physique? How could a sickly young lady who has lived a secluded life for so long, and who isn't even a proper ninja, compare to the agile and valiant Akali?
Milk volume?
I glanced at Akali, who was standing with her arms crossed.
Kurama Yakumo lowered his head.
Yes, she's wearing a pair of exquisitely crafted white cloth shoes today. The maker has outlined a delicate jasmine flower on the side of the shoe with silk thread; they're very pretty...
"Bam—"
With a gloomy expression, Kurama Yakumo overturned his easel and broke his paintbrush, his agitation escalating once again.
Damn it, how can there be someone younger, prettier, stronger, and even with bigger breasts than her in this world?! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!
That's right, despite her appearance, Yakumo Kurama is actually almost fifteen years old...
[Ding! Emotional value from Yakumo Kurama +9999!]
"Huh!!?" Akali was stunned. Why did Yakumo-chan suddenly lose her composure?
This emotional level is probably about to break through a major defense.
But what happened?
Akali tilted her head slightly, lost in thought.
However, by this time, Yakumo Kurama had already composed himself.
Having fought to this extent, she had to admit that she had also misjudged Akali's strength.
The fire jutsu that wiped out her army of treants earlier, and the clones Akali just released, both demonstrate Akali's considerable strength.
Akali also demonstrated once that she could suddenly dispel illusions, so it's not hard to understand why Red Teacher would be at such a disadvantage.
However, at present, she is not without advantages over Akali.
This kid is so calm right now, he must think it's still an assessment, right?
If you tell her the truth, that this is not an assessment but a life-or-death struggle, that you have even captured her companions, and that Teacher Hong is about to fall into a trap, she will definitely show an unprecedented look of panic!
Kurama Yakumo gave a mocking smile and transmitted his voice through illusion: "Unfortunately, Ms. Kurenai can't make it!"
"Now it's just you and me!"
Akali's expression changed immediately: "What do you mean?"
"It means..."
"that is……"
Kurama Yakumo drew out his voice, as if deliberately trying to whet people's appetites.
But in reality, she is currently writing furiously!
On the easel that had just been kicked over, Yakumo Kurama quickly put paper on and painted a scene!
"It's...this one!"
After a while, a new scene appeared in front of Akali.
"Ok?"
Akali's expression shifted from confusion to seriousness.
The scene Kurama Yakumo showed her was of Hinata, bound and with her eyes closed, and Shino, also bound, with her eyes closed and some wounds on her body.
Then, the images of the two people flashed by and disappeared, replaced by Kurenai Yuhi.
At this moment, Kurenai Yuhi was running forward, but in front of her was only a deep, dark void!
What this signifies is very clear!
Akali's glistening lips pursed slightly; those who know her well know this is a sign that she's serious!
Looking up at the empty space above, seemingly meeting the gaze of Yakumo Kurama behind the scenes, Akali asked in a cold voice, "You captured Hinata and the others?"
“That’s right!” Yakumo Kurama’s voice was filled with pleasure.
"Not only that, but I'll be arresting Teacher Hong soon too!"
"She still thinks I'm the person I used to be, and she's thinking of taking care of me directly! She never considered the possibility that I was trying to seduce her!"
Kurama Yakumo pointed to the easel in front of him, and the Kurama ninja squad that had previously withdrawn from Kurenai Yuhi appeared around Akali.
She withdrew the army earlier because she realized Akali was very strong and wanted to concentrate her forces to take her down.
But it's perfect for stopping Akali now.
Kurama Yakumo plans to deal with Kurenai Yuhi, who is about to arrive, first, and then focus on dealing with Akali, that annoying person!
However, Yakumo Kurama overlooked one thing.
That is, just how terrifying Akali can be when she gets serious!
Akali swiftly pierced her palm, smeared some blood on her finger, and then completed the five hand seals (Hai, Xu, You, Shen, Wei) in a single second.
"Spiritual communication..."
Akali slammed her hand heavily on the ground!
"Bang bang bang bang bang..."
A series of spiritual mists exploded.
A stone beetle the size of a handcart, a shadow wolf with a dark body, a sharp-beaked bird with a crimson body, and a dirty-looking teddy bear appeared!
Hold the teddy bear in your hand and then throw it.
Akali said calmly, "Kurama Yakumo, since you like playing Legion builds so much, then come and try my Legion build!"
"Come out, Tibbers!"
A giant bear engulfed in flames fell from the sky like a meteorite!
"Boom—"
Akali had already spent so many skill points, so she had already leveled Tibbers to level three.
At this moment, Tibbers, a level three monster, nearly ten meters tall, with a massive body that could even continue to grow if given chakra, crashed heavily to the ground, causing a very noticeable tremor within a radius of a thousand meters!
The flames covering Tibbers' body instantly ignited the surrounding trees, sending raging flames soaring into the sky!
Tibbers roared to the sky—
"ALLLLLLLLLL!"
The enormous sound wave shook the air!
then……
"Crackling sound—"
The barrier that Kurenai had prepared beforehand suddenly shattered!
Kurama Yakumo's vision went black; without the barrier as a medium, she completely lost sight of Akali.
At this point, even the breaking of the barrier is a minor issue!
Looking back at what he had just seen, Yakumo Kurama's already deathly pale face became even more ghastly!
"What exactly is that thing?"
"what?"
Kurama Yakumo was thrown into utter chaos!
However, she wasn't the only one in a state of confusion at this moment.
Standing not far from the wooden house, looking at the giant plush bear that suddenly appeared behind her, Kurenai Yuhi's eyes were filled with confusion.
No, no, no, she was just holding a genin exam, right? How did something that looks like a miniature tailed beast suddenly appear?!?
You call this a genin assessment?
The Genin Exam... could it be the Genin Exam for Jonin?
Kurenai Yuhi is truly numb.
