But deep in the depths of this seemingly casual gaze, there was a hint of shrewdness.
"The basic skill of a ninja is concealment. These three kids are doing pretty well now, all cleverly hiding their figures and auras with the help of obstacles. A good start."
Kurenai thought to herself, "However, just having the means to play hide-and-seek is not enough. What methods will you use to snatch my bells?"
Thinking of this, the corners of Kurenai's mouth couldn't help but curve into an arc.
And at this time, Kaoru was hiding on a tree branch not far away, observing Kurenai's every move.
He wasn't in a hurry to attack now. Snatching the bells was not the real purpose of the exam. This exam was only testing everyone's unity and spirit of mutual assistance.
As long as there was a will to never give up on their companions, then they could pass.
Since Kurenai wanted to see this scene of mutual assistance between companions, then Kaoru would give her this scene.
Afterwards, Kurenai walked deeper and deeper into the forest until she came to a winding path.
"This place has a narrow terrain, it's a good place to strike. It seems that some little guys will be unable to restrain themselves from attacking next."
Kurenai smiled, but stepped onto the narrow path without hesitation. And just as she took the first step, an abnormality suddenly occurred!
Only a "click" was heard, and Kurenai seemed to have stepped on something with this foot. Then, with two swishing sounds, two shurikens shot out from the ground in front of Kurenai in an instant.
"They actually set up a trap!" Kurenai was slightly startled in her heart. She leaned back and dodged the shurikens.
Then, a small snake the size of a chopstick suddenly darted out from the bushes next to her!
This small snake was black and white all over, surrounded by ink, feeling like it had jumped out of a ink painting.
It curled up its body and suddenly sprang up, going straight for the bells on Kurenai's waist.
"A little interesting!" Kurenai smiled, took a few steps back, dodged the snake's attack, and at this time, a figure suddenly jumped out from behind her, rushing towards Kurenai, it was Shin!
"Crap!" Kurenai's face was flustered. It seemed that Shin's actions had exceeded her expectations.
"I succeeded, I caught you, Kurenai-sensei!" Shin had a happy face and directly grabbed Kurenai's body.
The previous two attacks were just a smokescreen, this time was the real attack.
"Bang!" Kurenai's body suddenly burst out with a burst of smoke, and after the smoke dissipated, what Shin was holding in his hand was just a piece of wood.
"It's the Substitution Technique! I was tricked!" Shin then realized that he had been fooled. He stepped on his feet and wanted to leave here immediately.
"Now you can't run away." Kurenai's gentle voice sounded in Shin's ear, and then she raised her clean and slender thighs and kicked Shin's abdomen directly.
Shin groaned and flew out like a cannonball, smashing into the nearby bushes.
"You have special ninjutsu and have initially acquired the means of deception, but your strength is too weak....." Kurenai shook her head and sighed.
And at this time, Kaoru, who was hiding in the tree, was a little surprised.
Wasn't the small snake that Shin summoned, like a painting, the Super Beast Imitation Painting that Sai used in the original work?
However, it seemed that Shin was not yet proficient in using this move, and could only draw some small animals.
"Hmm?" Just as Kaoru was thinking, a breeze brushed his face, with a hint of crisis in the comfort.
"Little genius, what are you dazing about?" Behind Kaoru, a gentle voice sounded.
"Little genius, what are you dazing about?" Behind Kaoru, a gentle voice sounded.
Kaoru smiled, his eyes already activated the Sharingan. He didn't seem to be surprised at all by Kurenai's sudden appearance.
"I'm thinking about you, Kurenai-sensei...." Before Kaoru's voice fell, his body flipped over, and his right hand directly conjured a golden greatsword, slashing towards Kurenai, it was Lethality!
"Clang!" A crisp metallic clanging sound rang out, and Kurenai had already taken out a kunai and blocked Kaoru's attack.
"This kid's strength is quite great....." Kurenai thought to herself, her right hand holding the kunai was a little strenuous.
"And is this huge ninja tool he summoned?" She continued to think.
Ninja tool summoning was very common in the Naruto world. For example, Tenten used scrolls to summon ninja tools, and Sasuke had also used the B-rank ninjutsu: Lightning Blade Creation, a seal-style written on the body to summon shurikens. Therefore, it was not surprising that Kurenai had this idea.
"What's wrong, little genius, aren't you going to snatch the bells?" Kurenai asked with a smile after parrying Kaoru's greatsword.
"Kurenai-sensei is so powerful, I have no way at all now." Kaoru also turned his head and replied easily and casually. At this time, Kurenai could see Kaoru's eyes clearly..... Sharingan!
"As Iruka said, has he already activated the Sharingan?" Kurenai thought to herself.
"Okay, Kurenai-sensei, I'll withdraw first." Kaoru said softly, and then his feet stepped on the tree trunk, and his body immediately flew backwards.
"I've already caught you, will I let you escape?" Kurenai snorted lightly, and then formed hand seals: "Genjutsu, Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique!"
"Hmm!!" Just as she had just completed the hand seals, she felt a momentary blockage in the chakra in her body, and she couldn't immediately cast this genjutsu.
Although this situation only lasted for a second, a second was enough for Kaoru to escape. Kaoru's figure fell into the bushes below and disappeared.
"Did this kid escape?" Kurenai's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, "What was that just now? Is my physical condition not good?"
And at this time, Kaoru, who was moving quickly in the forest, had a calm face.
The silence effect of Lethality on Kurenai only lasted for a moment, but it was good enough, after all, he was still just a guy who had just graduated from the ninja school.
"Kurenai Yuhi, a female ninja who is good at genjutsu." Kaoru muttered to himself in his heart. Kurenai's genjutsu was good, he could copy it with the Sharingan and use it himself.
"Hmm?" At this moment, he found that a bush in front of him was trembling slightly.
"This girl, her hiding is too simple, right?" Kaoru's mouth curled up, and his figure immediately disappeared in place.
And at this time, in the bush in front, Hina's figure was hiding in it, trembling. Originally, she was not hiding in this place before, but was hiding not far from Shin, preparing to launch an attack on that winding path as well.
As a result, she saw Shin being kicked away easily, and then Kaoru, who was hiding on the tree trunk, was also found by Kurenai-sensei.
Hina immediately ran away when she saw this scene, for fear that she would be next.
Shin was taught a lesson by Kurenai-sensei, and that lower grade bastard was also caught by the teacher, I guess his end will be even worse.
In that case, there's only me left in Squad 8! Hina rubbed her small hands and muttered to herself uneasily.
"Girl, who are you calling a little bastard?" Just as Hina was nervous, a voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"Ah!" Hina shouted in surprise and jumped out of the hiding grass.
"Did you have to be so alarmed?" At this time, Kaoru was squatting on the ground, holding his chin and looking at the panicked Hina, and smiled.
"It turned out to be you, you little bastard!" Hina's cheeks were flushed, and she pointed at Kaoru and shouted, "You scared me to death, I thought Kurenai-sensei was coming!"
"You're not hiding in here now, you'll really be discovered by Kurenai-sensei." Kaoru shrugged and said.
"Oh.... right!" Hina nodded blankly, and then squatted next to Kaoru again.
"Weren't you caught by Kurenai-sensei before? How did you run here?" Hina then remembered what happened before.
