"What powerful Combination Technique, it seems the top three are all hiding their strength."
Shino Aburame, hiding in a tree, muttered to himself as he watched the dust and mist stirred up in the clearing and forest.
At the same time, he quickly sent out a large number of bugs, using the cover of the dust and mist to quietly fly to Kurenai Yuhi's side, wanting to take advantage of her carelessness and snatch the bell from her waist.
Unfortunately, Hinata had already alerted her.
As the Jonin instructor of the Sensor Team, Kurenai Yuhi's Sensing Technique was equally outstanding.
Startled by Hinata's Combination Technique, she had already released her senses after being engulfed by the dust and mist.
The location of Izayoi and the others, as well as the approaching bugs, were all discovered by Kurenai Yuhi.
With a poof, a sound like a balloon bursting rang out in the dust and mist.
When the dust and mist dissipated, there was only a piece of wood with bugs circling around it on the ground.
Substitution Technique!
Seeing this, Eighth Squad was not surprised.
Hinata, with veins bulging on her temples, looked around. In her black and white vision, Shino Aburame hiding in a certain tree, Kurenai Yuhi using the white smoke to conceal herself and Shunshin into the forest, and Izayoi, who had already Shunshin into a blur and was rushing towards Kurenai Yuhi, were all exposed to her clairvoyance and farsight.
Seeing Izayoi, who had already appeared in front of Kurenai Yuhi and was launching an attack on Kurenai Yuhi, Hinata's Byakugan seemed to see something, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise slightly.
Immediately, she took out a piece of cloth, nodded in the direction of Shino Aburame, and her figure disappeared.
The buzzing of bugs followed closely behind.
In another forest, the clanging of metal collisions rang out.
The scene zoomed in, and a pair of men and women with a height difference of only a few centimeters were wielding a Kunai in their backhand, engaging in close combat.
Aiming at Kurenai Yuhi's vital points, the Kunai in Izayoi's hand attacked with stabs, chops, and slashes.
The speed of the attack, and the decisiveness of the attack, even Kurenai Yuhi could only defend passively.
At first, Kurenai Yuhi, who was rich in combat experience, did not panic.
But soon, she seemed to have discovered something incredible, and her pupils suddenly contracted, her expression changing drastically.
"How is that possible?!"
She even exclaimed in surprise.
Izayoi, knowing what she was shocked by, smirked slightly.
The next second, he turned into a cloud of white smoke with a poof.
At the same time, three shouts rang out from around the forest.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
The orange-red flames, like the evening glow, enveloped Kurenai Yuhi.
Three fire dragons, each about four meters long, roared towards her in a triangular formation.
Kurenai Yuhi also didn't have time to Shunshin to dodge, and Genjutsu was of no use, so she could only quickly form hand seals with both hands and shout, "Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
A waterfall of water spewed from her mouth, colliding with the incoming Fire Dragon as Kurenai Yuhi's body spun.
With a burst and a sizzling sound, an astonishing white mist spread and diffused.
"Cough, cough..."
The area covered by the mist was incredibly large, even reaching the open space.
Kurenai Yuhi's figure burst out of the mist, coughing from the fumes.
Suddenly, Kurenai Yuhi seemed to realize something and froze in place.
The next second, a familiar sound reached her ears.
Ding-a-ling...
The pleasant sound of bells, drawing closer.
A gust of wind dispersed the mist, and the Eighth Squad emerged from the forest.
Standing in the middle, Izayoi lightly shook the bells in his hand, looked at Kurenai Yuhi with a smile, and said, "Teacher Kurenai, would you say we passed?"
"Impressive, even though I was on guard against you, you still managed to snatch the bells."
Looking at the spotless Eighth Squad, and then at her own slightly disheveled appearance, Kurenai Yuhi felt a little embarrassed, but more than that, she felt joy in her heart.
She smiled brightly and praised without reservation, "Very strong skills, excellent tactics, your teacher lost."
"No... a ninja's battle is a battle of information."
Izayoi shook his head and smiled, "The reason we obtained the bells so easily is that Teacher Kurenai, you revealed your specialization and didn't know enough about our information. If it were a life-or-death battle, we wouldn't have been so relaxed. We took advantage of Teacher Kurenai deliberately holding back."
Hearing this, Hinata and Shino Aburame, who were deliberately lagging behind Izayoi by half a step, looked at Izayoi in astonishment, their inner thoughts differing.
Izayoi-kun... speaks so nicely.
So, you can talk like that? Speaking of which, is this flattering?
Kurenai Yuhi was also slightly stunned, and then the smile on her face became even brighter, and her gaze towards Izayoi was full of affection.
"You really know how to talk!"
Kurenai Yuhi, her embarrassment resolved, immediately regained her heroic posture, walked over and patted Izayoi on the shoulder, then reached out and put her arm around Hinata's fragrant shoulder, and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's celebrate the establishment of the Eighth Squad, your teacher will treat you to a big meal."
Walking along the forest path leading to the central street, Kurenai Yuhi looked at Izayoi curiously and asked, "Izayoi, how did your Shadow Clone break my Genjutsu in battle?"
Breaking Genjutsu is taught at the Ninja Academy.
All you have to do is disrupt the flow of Chakra in your body.
It sounds easy, but it is very difficult to do.
Because during battle, it is impossible to disrupt Chakra.
After all, if you want to disrupt the Chakra in your body, you need to carefully mobilize the Chakra in your body, which requires hand seals.
The reason Kurenai Yuhi was shocked just now was not that the person fighting her was just Izayoi's Shadow Clone, nor that Izayoi's main body and Shadow Clone were ambushing around.
Instead, Izayoi's Shadow Clone actually ignored her Genjutsu.
"This is a closely guarded secret, Teacher Kurenai."
Izayoi raised his index finger, held it in front of his mouth, and smiled, "The battle of ninjas is the battle of information, and secrets make a man more attractive."
As he said this, Izayoi winked at Hinata, causing the girl to lower her head shyly.
"You don't even count as a man yet, just a little kid."
Kurenai Yuhi rolled her eyes and said, "Wait until you're twenty and can drink with your teacher before you say that."
Even so, she didn't continue to press the issue.
However, her evaluation of Izayoi in her heart far exceeded that of Hinata and Shino Aburame, the children of the ninja clans.
A huge amount of Chakra, powerful Fire Release Ninjutsu, a precocious personality, and this ninja quality...
At this moment, Kurenai Yuhi finally understood why Izayoi was able to overwhelm the children of the major ninja clans and win the title of Top Student.
Regarding Kurenai Yuhi's teasing, Izayoi smiled without saying a word.
Of course, he wouldn't tell Kurenai Yuhi that the reason he could ignore her Genjutsu was not only because his Yin Release Chakra was very strong, but also because he could perform Ninjutsu without hand seals.
Others need to form hand seals to mobilize Chakra, but Izayoi doesn't need to at all.
He is the bane of Genjutsu.
