Chapter 52 Poor Little Yunjiang
Chapter 52 Poor Little Yunjiang
Inside and outside the wooden cabin in the heart of the forest, Kurenai Yuhi, like her beloved disciple, remained speechless for a long time.
The emotional status updates from them kept ringing in Akali's mind.
But what they didn't know was that after her initial seriousness, Akali had already relaxed again.
because……
[Ding! Hinata's emotional value +999!]
[Ding! Shino's emotional value +999!]
Akali, who was about to command Tibbers to run over her, was taken aback.
She had just seen through Yakumo Kurama's illusion that Hinata and Shino had been captured and were unconscious.
But now the two of them can provide themselves with emotional value, which means they have also seen this change.
"I see!" Akali realized, a mocking smile appearing on her lips. "Looks like someone lied! How dishonest, Yakumo-chan."
Shaking her head, Akali directed Tibbers to advance normally, using the center of the forest as a reference point.
Not long after, the trees next to Akali rustled.
Hinata and Shino walked out from the left and right respectively.
Looking at the giant plush bear in front of her, Hinata was shocked: "Akali, what's that?"
"That's my summoned beast! What do you think, not bad, right?"
"It's actually not bad, but is your 'not bad' range...?"
Shino interjected, his tone filled with amazement.
Such a huge war bear is already a trump card for ordinary ninjas, but is it just an acceptable level for Akali?
"That's right, it's only possible!"
Akali waved her hand dismissively: "Don't be fooled by Tibbers' huge size and intimidating appearance. He's not actually that strong. For a strong opponent, there are many ways to limit him."
"For example?" Shino asked tentatively.
"For example, Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld can restrict it, Wind Release: Vacuum Ball can cut it open, and Water Release: Dam Repair is completely effective against Tibbers because it can not only extinguish Tibbers' flames, but also make Tibbers' body, which is a plush bear, heavier."
After all, Akali is the Rogue Assassin, not the Dark Child, and Tibbers is just a replacement teddy bear that you get from the draw.
Of course, Tibbers can't just make excuses about everything. Akali's example of Yomi Swamp is Jiraiya's Yomi Swamp, the Vacuum Jade is Danzo and Baku's Vacuum Jade, and who built the dam is needless to say. He's the only honest person who uses hand seals.
However, even when facing these Shadow-level opponents, Akali was able to control Tibbers to a normal size, demonstrating that concentration is the essence.
Right now, you don't need to do much to dominate weaker opponents.
Speaking of stomping weaker opponents, Akali also remembered that Shino and Hinata didn't seem to have encountered Kurama Yakumo: "By the way, what's the situation on your end?"
"Us?" Hinata and Shino exchanged a puzzled look.
"It was just a normal test, right? Kurenai Yuhi Jonin... no, I should say Kurenai-sensei, Kurenai-sensei fought against us, and then announced that we passed the test!"
At this point, Hinata realized what was happening: "What, aren't you one?"
"And speaking of which, why did you summon such a giant bear?"
“Is that so…” Akali did not answer Hinata’s question.
She thought about it and decided it was best not to bring up the matter between Kurama Yakumo and Yuhi Kurenai so directly, since Miss Kurenai also had her pride.
Akali said to the two of them, "Let's talk about these things later, Shino, Hinata. Could you please wait here for a while? I have some things to take care of, as do you, Kurenai!"
"And Hinata, could you check with Kurenai Yuhi to see where she's a Jonin?"
"Okay!" Hinata didn't ask any more questions and immediately activated her Byakugan. Her black and white vision continued to extend, and Kurenai Yuhi in the wooden house, as well as the girl in front of Kurenai Yuhi, came into view.
It looks like they're arguing.
Hinata seemed to be deep in thought as she watched this scene.
Akali's summoning of this giant bear named Tibbers must mean it has an enemy, but Kurenai doesn't seem like that enemy, so the enemy must be someone else, most likely the one in the cabin.
However, even though Hinata had guessed some things, she didn't say anything.
Because the Hyuga clan is more discreet about what they say than anyone else. Otherwise, with the Byakugan's power, they could easily see other people's private matters. And yet, they still have big mouths. That's not called being carefree; that's called courting death.
Hinata pointed ahead: "Red-sensei is in the cabin in the forest!"
“Okay!” Akali nodded. After confirming the location, she immediately activated Sprint. An extremely powerful energy enveloped her, just like Li opening a door, rapidly increasing Akali's agility.
This assessment should end today.
Akali's graceful figure vanished in a blur.
A few dozen seconds later, Akali appeared outside the cabin in the center of the forest.
Surprisingly, the cabin was completely silent, and there was no sign of any living person inside, as if no one was there at all!
But that's impossible. Hinata just looked at the location and then came over immediately. Even if Kurenai Yuhi and Yakumo Kurama, that sickly young lady, ran at full speed, where could they possibly run to?
Akali instinctively activated the scan.
Within the scanned field of vision, two standing red humanoid figures appeared in the wooden house ahead.
"Yes, the person is still alive!"
Akali was somewhat surprised. She pushed open the door and entered, where a scene of exotic beauty appeared before her eyes.
At this moment, the wooden walls around the cabin were no longer visible; instead, they were filled with the rampaging spiritual power of Yakumo Kurama, transforming into a pitch-black mist.
It was the mist that created the barrier, isolating the inside from the outside, which is why Akali didn't sense anyone's presence just now.
The situation inside the cabin is also quite dire!
Standing not far from Akali, Kurenai Yuhi had multiple injuries and was breathing heavily, clearly having gone through a tough battle.
A monster dressed in the same clothes as Yakumo Kurama, but with an ugly demon mask on its face and two horns on its head, stood in front of them.
This is the monster in Yakumo Kurama's heart, Ido.
Clearly, Kurenai's injuries were caused by Ido!
At that moment, sensing Akali's presence, Kurenai Yuhi turned around in surprise: "Akali, what are you doing in here? Get out!"
"Too late!" Kurama Yakumo sneered, and the door Akali had just pushed open slammed shut.
"Akali, right? I was going to deal with Teacher Red before coming to find you, but I didn't expect you to dare to walk in like this!"
"You're dead, Akali, I said it!"
"Really? That's amazing!"
Akali curled her lips into a mocking smile: "I wonder who was so scared when they saw my bear that they ran away without saying a word!"
"you……"
[Ding! Emotional value from Yakumo Kurama +999!]
Recalling the giant bear he had seen before, Yakumo Kurama was speechless.
However, she quickly regained her composure and said confidently:
"Your bear is indeed powerful, but so what? It's not here. If you're so capable, then summon it right here!"
Kurenai Yuhi chimed in, "Akali, this place is very strange. Yakumo's spirit is too vast; it has turned this place into her spiritual domain. I can't use ninjutsu here."
"But that monster, Idu, transformed its immense spiritual power into physical combat strength at this moment, just like a Jonin specializing in taijutsu!"
"So if you have any ideas, use them quickly, or we'll both die here!"
"Is that so..."
Akali sensed the space they were in.
They discovered that, just as Kurenai Yuhi had said, they were unable to use ninjutsu.
Because this cramped space of the wooden house is filled with Yakumo Kurama's powerful and out-of-control spiritual energy.
Excessive spiritual power squeezed out the space for other energies, temporarily transforming this wooden house into a spiritual domain. Ordinary chakra released would be swallowed up by this out-of-control spiritual domain.
Under such circumstances, the boundaries between the material and spiritual dimensions had been distorted in the cabin, which is why the monster named Ido was able to cause such great trouble for Kurenai Yuhi.
However, after sensing the space she was in, Akali's expression became somewhat strange.
Should she say, "As expected of Kurenai Yuhi's true disciple?"
These two, master and disciple, were actually controlled by her so severely, on equal footing!
With a hint of amusement, Akali suddenly spoke:
"Do you know that on a land called the Land of First Birth, the boundary between the material and spiritual realms is very blurred? Therefore, people pursue harmony and unity with all things and balance with everything in the world."
"Therefore, there is a ninja sect that travels between the spiritual and material realms, with the mission of maintaining the balance between the spiritual and material realms."
"They have a leader named Twilight Eye, who always carries two swords, a Soulblade and a Steel Blade."
"If the spiritual realm surpasses the material dimension, then use the Soul Blade to sever the spirit; if the material dimension surpasses the spirit, then use the Steel Blade to sever the matter."
"Of course, the Twilight Eye's assessment of spirit and matter is too cold and too condescending, which I don't like, and that's not what I'm talking about."
Akali looked at the monster Idu ahead with pity, her golden eyes shining brightly in the dim mental space.
In a daze, Yakumo Kurama seemed to see a goddess watching over her misguided believer!
He quickly shook his head, dispelling the hallucinations in his mind, and, suppressing the inexplicable panic in his heart, Kurama Yakumo gritted his teeth and said:
"What spiritual realm and material dimension? Akali, if you're going to make up a story, at least have some factual basis!"
"Do you think you can stop me from killing you by saying nonsense?"
"Go! Kill them!"
Under Yakumo Kurama's command, Ido stretched out his sharp claws and walked forward step by step.
Seeing this, Akali shook her head: "The spiritual realm is not a peaceful lake, but a turbulent sea, filled with many evils."
"Guess how the ninjas of the Balance Sect can move between the spiritual and the material world?"
As she spoke, Akali took a step forward, and the power of shadow flowed beneath her feet. Although she did not use Shadow Clone, it was as if she had used the Shadow Technique to teleport, and she instantly appeared behind the monster Idoo.
With her back to Ido and looking at Kurama Yakumo, Akali continued, "Steel blade and skill, neither can be lacking!"
The next second, Idoo, who had noticed Akali coming up behind him, turned around angrily and swung his claws at Akali's back.
However, an invisible shadow moved before Idu could react!
Ultimate Technique: Demon Slash!
"Tear--"
The shadow lurking within Akali slashed around, severing her two black arms with sharp claws!
When facing Kurenai Yuhi, Ido's skin, which was harder than steel, was as fragile as paper in front of Akali's Oni Slash!
"Aaaaah!" Idu cried out in pain as he looked at his severed arm.
What makes it even more painful is that, as a spiritual entity, everything about it is made up of spiritual power. Even if its hands or feet are broken, it doesn't matter, as long as its spiritual power is not lost, it can recover on its own.
But just now, after Akali's shadow swung its blade, its connection to its arm was severed, and the spirit of that part of the arm no longer belonged to it!
In other words, Akali's attacks have the ability to sever or even kill the spirit!
[Ding! Emotional value from Idu +3333!]
"Impossible, what exactly are you?" Idu took two steps back in fear.
“Me…” Akali turned around, smiling gently, “I am a ninja from the Balance, and I am also the one responsible for executing you.”
"Seriously, I never thought that a master of the ninja scythe like Akali would be doing my job again today!"
Akali shook her head, feeling that the world was quite strange. After all, even the Akali from Valoran didn't do these things; otherwise, why would she be called the Rogue Assassin?
"Alright, let's get going!"
Akali raised her scythe, and several shadows quickly separated from her feet, eventually forming five shadow clones wielding various weapons, surrounding Ido.
Normally, even a fully-leveled Shadow Clone Technique wouldn't be able to break the limitation of only being able to create one clone, but what can you do when this is the spiritual realm? The spiritual realm is beyond the realm of reason!
The ability to completely restrict Kurenai Yuhi to the point of being unable to use ninjutsu is useless against Akali, and even has a beneficial effect.
This is why Akali was so emotional before!
Then, under the command of the Cross Sickle!
As if a starting gun had been fired, the five shadow clones simultaneously charged toward Idu in the center.
After a brief but intense exchange of blows...
"brush--"
A shadowy figure, its clothes slightly disheveled, appeared before Akali, knelt on one knee, and offered Akali the head of the monster Idu.
Akali glanced at Ido's ugly appearance—with its protruding fangs and hideous, dark face—and waved her hand, saying, "Throw it away. It's so ugly; it's not nearly as pleasing to the eye as the Jonin Yuhi Kurenai."
[Ding! Kurenai's emotional value +666!]
Clearly, Kurenai had some reservations about Akali's words.
However, with Akali dominating the game, Kurenai Yuhi has little say in the matter.
Akali then moved closer to Kurama Yakumo step by step, while Kurama Yakumo retreated in fear until his back bumped into the wall of the wooden house!
"Don't come any closer!" Yakumo Kurama shouted in a panic.
At this moment, facing Akali, Yakumo Kurama had completely lost the pride he had shown when they communicated telepathically before.
After all, Ido was Kurama Yakumo's greatest source of confidence to raise the banner of rebellion, and Akali had just brutally dismembered and beheaded Ido!
As a spiritual creation of Kurama Yakumo, although it was impossible to control, the feeling of Ido being dismembered was undoubtedly accepted by Kurama Yakumo!
That kind of fear made Yakumo Kurama feel like Akali was going to cut off his head!
Poor Yakumo-chan, facing Akali, that wicked woman, could only tremble with fear. Her slender legs under her long skirt went weak, and although she was standing on a hard ground, she felt as if she were walking on cotton and couldn't stand steadily.
Between her legs, a dampness was about to spread!
