Class Assessment 6...

Looking toward the gate from where Yamato went out only one thought came to my mind

'The Shiba clan should be included in the plan Grandpa Mori will be implementing. Grandpa Kurai has blind trust in the clan members, But The Shiba Clan of the past was no more where they can give their lives to one another, where clan matters remained in the clan. I will convince him to not be so negligent in this matter otherwise the repercussions will be serious if the spies were left as it is.

"Aki- Akira..." My thinking was interrupted by someone me.

"Huh... Did you say anything? Sorry, I was a bit absent-minded" I asked.

" I am a bit tired and my chakra pool is also at the bottom, so let the next match start after 1 hour." asked Hana "Do you have any problem with that? "

"Nope"

The next matches will be held on the central platform and so many of the students were standing surrounding the platform. Now of the two matches remaining, one person will get a bye and the other two will fight who upon winning will fight the bye person as a finalist.

After some time we went to the platform for the lottery, where there were more guards than usual, seeing our previous matches Onoki has allocated 4 more guards to prevent any casualties on the platform or outside the platform.

Before the referee could start the selection process I raised my hand.

Looking towards me the referee asked. "What happened? Do you have any problem with the process?"

Instead of answering him I looked toward Hana and Yuki and smirked " How about a battle royal ?" Though I knew winning against both of them would be difficult I wanted to try.

Hearing my word a deafening silence outstretched through the area before a burst of all-blown-out laughter was heard below the platform, even some of the elders were laughing like no tomorrow.

But the persons in question were not laughing but were frowning and seemed to be thinking something.

After a few seconds Hana asked " Are you sure Akira? After our last match, we never neglected our training and if want to defeat us you have to break quite a lot of your bones "

Before I could reply Yuki scoffed "And if you lose don't go back crying to your Mama"

"No need to worry, let's just fight without any care. Ha..Ha..Ha..."

So it was decided a Battle Royal will be held, and we three went to the platform.

Before the start of the match, the spectators were hurling curses at me, though I know it was presumptuous of me to think I can defeat them and they can curse me for belittling their hard work but these stupid D*ckheads were cursing me for stopping the fight against their dream girls.

I pointed to the crazed fans before saying " Well it seems you both have quite some fan following. Do- Don't tell me if I defeat you two these fanboys of yours will harass me "

"Don't know but they might! " Yuki said giving me a look as if I was a fish on the chopping board.

" Yuki how about we stop the joking and start the fight, " Hana said looking sternly toward Yuki.

Seeing us ready the referee started the fight

"START"

Even after the duel started no one moved, we just stared at each other observing each other movements. I knew though it was a Battle Royal, it was me against them. So I had to be extra careful to not fall into any traps.

I just assumed my typical combat stance of knees bent, body diagonal, and hand balled into fists.

Just as expected after some glaring, I saw Yuki disappear from my vision and Hana released an earth spike which emerged below me, but I jumped to the right and dodged the attack but right there standing was Yuki with a Tanto which she slashed toward my chest.

Not being able to dodge the Tanto slashed my body which upon contact burst into light.

They were surprised to see me using jutsus without hand seals but after thinking they realized I must have used hand seals when they were distracted, which was indeed true as while jumping I distorted the light in front of my hands and used light clone jutsu.

Not finding myself in the field Hana made hand seals and scattered light around the field after that she looked toward Yuki and shook her head. She then motioned upward and downward.

We were taught invisibility jutsu by the clan elders and so we also know the pitfalls of the jutsu. And Hana used the jutsu < Light Release - Scattering Wave>. The use of this jutsu is to discern any obstacle or any hidden trap in an area and it can also be used as a counter to Invisibility jutsu.

Seeing Hana and Yuki both doing hand seals, I understood if left alone they would find me out within seconds and destroy the surprise factor of the following attack. So without any delay, I attacked from above with some light beams but they dodged.

Creating some distance from me Yuki said "So you were hiding above, well we can also fly. Let's take this to air" before forming hand seals for creating Light constructs.

I thought of creating a disturbance for Yuki so she could not use that spell but before I could attack, I was forced to block the attacks from Hana which helped Yuki to fly beside me.

Yuki upon flying helped Hana fly on a Light construct.

Now we were back in a similar position this one being in the air.

We all looked at each other, then laughing dove straight at each other throats. I rushed to Hana with my tanto before swinging at her. She grabbed the blade with her hand coated with earth chakra before pulling my blade but before I could do anything I found both my vision and my blade gone.

After trying for some time I was able to come out of the genjutsu. I was confused as to how was Yuki able to capture me in genjutsu despite me being extra cautious. She must further refined her Art.

After the match, I should also polish my skills with their help.

This squabble went on for some time me fighting Hana and Yuki disrupting my jutsu.

I thought the match will a draw and decided to declare that. Before I could say that Hana shouted smirking " Akira how about we decide the match on a last ultimate jutsu "

" No need for that. You both have really have improved a lot, we can fight another time" I said while thinking why am I feeling such uneasy.

Seeing me turning away she taunted " Akira are you afraid that we take your number 1 genius position of the clan" which brought laughter along with the spectators and even my grandfathers.

"What happened to you Ha- Let's do it, you bitch! You think you are both better than me " I said as anger consumed me and I flipped. But in a tiny portion of my mind, I was panicking-

' When have I become so volatile to some teasing? Why am I am so angry? Why do I want to attack her with one of my best attacks? Someone, please stop this. I don't want this.'

I had a feeling this was a genjutsu but I can't seem to break it.

After saying this I started charging a light ball, this attack is similar to a Mini nuclear explosion jutsu but 5 times more deadlier. Hana and Yuki also started charging Mini nuclear explosions.

I knew if these jutsus were released together they would die but I can't stop myself from laughing gleefully.

Both I and they released the jutsu together

"BOOM...."

My sane part of my mind began praying for their safety as I had enough belief in my Grandfather that he would save them.

Slowly the light and Dust began clearing and I saw....
