⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Chapter 212 : Chapter 212 Dark Sensing, Kurenai Requests Jonin Status [3/3]
Hyuga Clan.
Neji continued to practice his Chakra.
Today, he only achieved two "firsts"—taijutsu sparring and speed sprinting.
Other events like long-distance running, speed, and Chakra control were all bested by others.
For example, Sasuke, Kurama Yakumo, and so on.
The problem was—
Those were all lower-grade students.
In their grade, only Tenten took first place in Ninja Tools combat practice; all other events were taken by lower-grade students.
As for Rock Lee.
Neji didn't have a deep impression of this guy; he only remembered that the other party seemed very unwilling, kept muttering after the match, and ended up getting beaten up by a bowl-cut kid.
"More precise, more condensed, faster—"
His fingers and fists moved at increasing speed, repeatedly poking the dummy in front of him.
After many attempts—
Swoosh!
A sound rang out.
Neji's fingers were like a blade, piercing the outer shell of the wooden dummy, and the sand filling inside leaked out.
He panted, looking at his fingers, a smile appearing on his face.
He did it!
Constantly condensing Chakra to make its destructive power reach the level of a blade—
Such a finger strike could pierce through most Chakra defenses.
As long as it hit, with the characteristics of the Gentle Fist, the opponent would basically have no chance of survival.
Neji retracted his fingers.
"Next step, train Chakra to the level the teacher mentioned—however, this kind of training cannot be done in the Hyuga Clan."
He continued to practice the Gentle Fist, his heart burning like fire.
As long as he kept getting stronger, there was hope!
On the street the next day.
—
Kurenai Yuhi led her team to sign in at the gate, her face showing undisguised exhaustion.
After writing her name, she instructed her team members to submit the mission report and walked towards the other side of the street.
After walking for a while, she realized—
This wasn't the way home, but the direction to Masahiko's house.
She stopped, hesitating, when a shout came from behind.
"Kurenai-senpai, wait!"
A team member called out to her.
Kurenai Yuhi turned her head and saw Kamizuki Izumo running over.
"Izumo, is there something else?"
"Senpai, a senior just said that Hokage-sama asks you to go over!"
"Hokage-sama?"
Kurenai Yuhi was stunned for a moment, "Did they say why?"
"Not clear for now."
Kamizuki Izumo shook his head.
Kurenai Yuhi sighed slightly and nodded: "I will go."
She used the Body Flicker to head towards the Hokage Building, while on top of the Hokage Building, Kurama Yakumo sat on the edge of the rooftop, looking at Masahiko with hesitation.
"Yakumo, we are all worried about you."
"Teacher, I understand."
Kurama Yakumo replied.
She paused and said: "I have indeed mastered more abilities, including the release of genjutsu, and the perception of darkness."
"Perception of darkness?"
"Mm."
Kurama Yakumo nodded slightly, "I can feel some negative emotions, for example, Mizuki-sensei harbors ill intentions towards Naruto and me."
She thought for a moment and added: "He once tried to make a move on me."
Speaking of this, Kurama Yakumo's expression was full of regret.
She was actually quite looking forward to Mizuki making a move.
Although Mizuki was a teacher, in her eyes, he was only better than her in Ninja Toolss, taijutsu, and Chakra, but these were useless in the face of genjutsu and Five Senses Control.
If Mizuki took the initiative to attack her, it would be a great opportunity for practical combat.
The regret was—
"I don't know why, but he gave up later."
Kurama Yakumo sighed softly.
Masahiko pondered for a moment and asked: "Anything else?"
"Ebisu doesn't like Naruto, but he teaches what he should teach, so he doesn't deliberately target him. Iruka is very good, almost a perfect teacher—"
Kurama Yakumo answered calmly.
Afterward, she paused slightly: "Sakura Haruno is two-faced, which is very annoying; by comparison, Ino is cuter."
Hearing this, Masahiko couldn't help but ponder.
This situation was more serious than he had imagined.
He smiled and asked: "What about Hokage-sama?"
"I can't feel anything."
Kurama Yakumo shook her head.
She added: "I guess I only have the preliminary capability of it, and it itself isn't necessarily that strong, so there is still a limit to the perception."
"Then—what about now?"
Masahiko imagined killing Kurama Yakumo in his heart. After several rounds of self-suggestion, his gaze became as sharp as a knife.
Killing intent released!
Kurama Yakumo instinctively shrank back, only then realizing that Masahiko was testing her.
Her face turned slightly pale, and she nodded gently: "I can, I can feel it, the malice is very deep!"
"Good, let's try again. Do not deliberately break the genjutsu."
Masahiko retracted his emotions.
In the next second, he released his Chakra.
Chakra was released from Masahiko's body, forming a thin mist of water in the surroundings.
A moment later—
"Over there."
Kurama Yakumo pointed to a direction.
Masahiko dissipated the mist and appeared from that side, nodding gently: "Your ability is very useful!"
"Is this the ability of that dark power?"
Yakumo asked curiously.
Masahiko shook his head: "No, this is a brand new product after Ido fused with it, which is why Shennong wanted to get you."
"Understood."
Kurama Yakumo nodded gently.
After a silence, she said: "I will improve my strength as much as possible."
"Don't worry, we will protect you."
Masahiko said.
Yakumo nodded.
She was about to speak when she suddenly looked down, a smile appearing on her face: "Teacher, Kurenai-sensei is back!"
"Mm."
Masahiko looked out from the edge.
Kurenai Yuhi was walking along the street towards the Hokage Building. Sensing their gaze, she waved downstairs, her face full of smiles.
A moment later, in the Hokage Office.
"Hokage-sama!"
Kurenai Yuhi handed over the mission scroll.
Hiruzen Sarutobi took it and said: "Kurenai, you happened to encounter the invading Rock Ninja troops this time and successfully annihilated and expelled them. The mission was completed very well."
"Thank you for your affirmation; this is what we should do."
Kurenai Yuhi was humble at first.
After that, she paused for a moment and said: "Kamizuki Izumo performed excellently in this mission. His special Ninjutsu provided considerable help. I think he can serve as a Special Jonin after honing for a while longer."
"Oh?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was a bit surprised.
Kurenai Yuhi reported the process in detail.
Ordinary Water Release would be countered by Earth Release and would be hard to achieve results, but Kamizuki Izumo's Water Release was rather special.
After increasing the viscosity, his water caused no small trouble for the enemy.
If it weren't for this, she and Hagane Kotetsu wouldn't have been able to quickly annihilate the enemy Ninja squad.
Hiruzen Sarutobi said: "As for the border, Asuma has already led a team to patrol, so you don't need to worry. I called you here because there is another matter that requires your consent."
"Huh?"
Kurenai Yuhi was confused.
What matter required her consent?
She looked over in confusion.
In the next second, Hiruzen Sarutobi handed over an application form.
"Your current abilities and performance are enough to serve as a real Jonin. If you are willing to apply, I will arrange the assessment and evaluation."
"Thank you for your recognition!"
Kurenai Yuhi was excited inside.
She wanted to become a Jonin so much; she dreamed of it!
