What the Hell is This Called a Water Wall Formation?
"Leader, it seems you don't need to worry about Kyōichi, you should worry more about my daughter and Asuma..."
Yūhi Shinku's face was complicated.
Kyōichi is really amazing!
The psychological tests haven't even started yet, but all kinds of questions have already been arranged, it's even more overboard than the bell training of the Third Hokage.
Pass?
Pass my ass!
If Shiranui Shisui, Kurenai, and Asuma choose not to take the test, all three of them have to go back to the academy.
"Haha, Shinku don't worry, you should have confidence in your own child, look at me... Asuma is like this, but I'm still very calm!"
The Third Hokage laughed as he smoked, while in front of him was a crystal ball, showing the scene of Kyōichi, Asuma and the others.
These psychological questions test their cognition and understanding of their teammates. If they can't even pass this, they naturally don't need to consider becoming ninjas.
Of course.
Different people think differently, but psychologically Kyōichi's purpose in asking these questions is probably like this.
"Yes, I'm too worried."
Shinku nodded.
He should believe in her daughter, he feels his daughter can understand how to choose, but that Uchiha...
He doesn't think highly of him.
The Uchiha are too estranged from the rest of Konoha.
But.
The next moment, he realized that he was overthinking.
"Take it!"
"Of course take it."
"Than...thank you!"
Asuma bowed deeply. Although he didn't know what was going on, he understood one thing - according to the teacher's words, Shisui and Kurenai participated in the exam because of him.
"You all want to take it right?"
Kyōichi deliberately looked stern, with a hint of killing intent in his eyes, oppressing the three of them.
The faces of all three changed.
However.
Not one flinched.
"Very good, time's limited by the hourglass, if you can't hurt me, except for Shisui you will all go back to the academy."
Kyōichi smiled and took out an hourglass.
And then.
He flipped it over!
Whoosh~
In an instant, the three used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.
Not bad.
At least there are no fools.
Kyōichi lazily stretched and walked slowly towards the woods. If the three had directly confronted him head-on, he would really consider kicking all three of them back to the academy to start over.
"Time is tight, we...will take Shisui as team leader for now, how should we handle passwords, tactics?"
Kurenai knew she wasn't cut out for this.
However.
Asuma obviously wasn't either right now.
They could only let Shisui take over.
"Me?"
Even Shisui was confused, he was only five years old, damn it being the temporary team leader directly...
The pressure was too much!
However.
He took a deep breath, and soon had ideas in his mind.
Do it like the guards do!
"The password is just hand signs for communication. I'll show you some simple hand signs. As for tactics, you two engage him head-on, I'll ambush and assassinate. Don't worry about hurting Teacher..."
"Hurt? I'm worried about not being able to hurt him."
Asuma smiled bitterly.
He only hoped he wouldn't drag the team down, otherwise having to go back to the academy would be really shameless.
"Then that's decided, let's create traps first, later we'll try genjutsu to create opportunities, then see the situation and move in. Once we start fighting we can't consider retreating anymore."
Both Shisui and Kurenai were experts in genjutsu.
They definitely couldn't abandon genjutsu.
As for retreating and stalling, they didn't think they could be stronger than Kyōichi, wanting to defeat Kyōichi in that aspect was just wishful thinking.
After formulating tactics, they quickly changed positions.
...
"Not bad at all, very organized."
Kyōichi chuckled softly.
Of the three, Kurenai was responsible for sensing and scouting, while the other two discussed tactics.
After walking this stretch, he didn't find where the three had gone.
Of course.
This was because Kyōichi didn't want to cheat.
If he really wanted to find them, a chakra sensing would be able to locate the three's position.
This was an exam, not a real killing.
Playing cat and mouse had to be done slowly.
He took a leisurely stroll in the woods, but actually, the direction he walked was exactly where the Uchiha Shisui and the others had retreated.
Asuma clenched his kunai, his palms were already sweating.
Although Kyōichi hadn't made a move, or even gotten close, his step-by-step compression of their living space brought too much pressure!
"Do it?"
Kurenai made a gesture.
However.
She was quickly stopped by Shisui.
It wasn't the right time.
Attacking now would undoubtedly lead to defeat!
They had to wait for a better opportunity.
Shisui thought bitterly.
However...
Soon after, Kyōichi approached step by step, and the first in his path was Kurenai's position. If they didn't make a move now, when Kyōichi got even closer, he might directly discover and ambush them.
"Do it."
"Demonic Illusion: Tree Bind Kill!"
Kurenai immediately made hand seals.
The genjutsu activated!
Kyōichi stood there stunned, seemingly caught in the illusion.
Shisui quickly came to Asuma's side, and the two made hand seals at the same time. Next moment, an enormous fireball spewed forth, directly covering Kyōichi's position.
Wind Release: Great Breakthrough combined with a Giant Fireball, power doubled!
But.
"Above!"
Kurenai reported first thing.
The illusion was broken!
She immediately sensed the opponent's position, but Kyōichi's position shocked her.
Substitution?
So fast!
Asuma stared dumbfounded, was it really possible to hurt him at this speed?
However.
There was no time to think more now.
"Scatter!"
Shisui quickly retreated.
Just at this moment, a streak of shadow flashed by.
Although Asuma barely defended, Kyōichi's huge force still directly kicked him flying.
In midair, he barely used the Substitution Jutsu.
Too fast!
Shisui had no choice but to turn back and restrain him. He threw out a smoke bomb, and the next moment, "Asuma" and two others retreated in one direction in the smoke.
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
Kyōichi didn't give chase, but directly made hand seals.
The next moment, a huge water wall rose from all sides, directly cutting off Kurenai who had not yet escaped.
The spectating Kurenai was speechless.
"This Water Release...is just too outrageous!"
Water Formation Wall?
With this range he could practically encircle the entire Hokage building, if it was a little slower, there would be no escaping.
Ridiculous!
Kurenai panicked.
She was already retreating at full speed, but didn't expect to still be cut off.
"As a support ninja, you must pay attention to your position and safety during combat at all times, because my first target is most likely you!."
Whoosh~
One kick.
Kurenai dodged with the Substitution Jutsu.
However.
The next moment, she found there was a kunai at her neck.
"You're out."
Kyōichi handed the kunai to her.
Kurenai was filled with regret.
She knew her speed was too slow, leaving herself exposed.
The water curtain fell.
Asuma and Shisui had already doubled back, and saw this scene instantly retreating.
However.
"Leaf-Style Willow"
One moment he was still in place, the moment he drew his sword, he was already in front of Asuma.
There was simply no time to dodge!
Before Shisui could come to the rescue, Asuma's shoulder had already been grazed by the back of the blade.
"Only you are left. So, Genjutsu chapter..."
What?
Sword light?
Shisui was shocked and quickly averted his gaze, but his vision went blurry.
Caught in it?
How could it be!
He quickly dispelled the illusion, but by the time he regained his senses, a sword was already at his neck.
The gap was too big!
"So, I'm still unharmed. Clearly, you weren't able to complete the mission. Kurenai, Asuma, you two have to go back to the academy, or... Shisui, if you give up your spot, I can consider giving you three another chance."
Kyōichi smiled as he looked at them.
The atmosphere was dead silent.
The gap was too big!
Was this the strength of a jōnin?
