Teacher Kurenai led Eighth Squad out of the teaching building, not heading to the playground, but leaving the school and arriving at a training grounds in the wilderness.
Such training grounds were common throughout Konoha.
Standing in front of a tree stump, Kurenai Yuhi turned to look at Izayoi and the others, smiling slightly, "Until one of you is promoted to Chunin squad leader, I will be leading you on missions for a long time to come."
"So, let's start with self-introductions to get to know each other."
"I'll give you a demonstration."
Kurenai Yuhi put one hand on her hip and smiled, "My name is Kurenai Yuhi, my surname is Yuhi, you can call me Teacher Kurenai. My specialty is Genjutsu, I'm good at all kinds of Genjutsu, I like many things, for example, in terms of food, I like Wasabi Octopus, as well as Shochu and Vodka. My dream is to become a female ninja like Lady Tsunade."
"It's your turn."
Kurenai Yuhi's gaze swept across the faces of Izayoi and the others, finally settling on Izayoi.
Seeing this, Izayoi slowly opened his mouth, "My name is Izayoi, I don't have a surname, my specialty is Ninjutsu, I'm relatively good at Fire Release and Wind Release, I also know a little bit of Medical Ninjutsu and Sensing Technique. I like to train and fight with others, I hate many things, my dream is to become an excellent ninja."
Kurenai Yuhi nodded, gaining a preliminary judgment of Izayoi's strength and personality.
Then she looked at Hinata next to Izayoi.
"My name is Hinata Hyuga, my specialty is sensing and the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist, I like to train with Izayoi-kun and my sister, I also like to eat Red Bean Paste and Cinnamon Rolls, I hate shrimp and crab, my dream is also to become an excellent ninja," Hinata said softly.
After listening to Hinata's self-introduction, Kurenai Yuhi looked at Izayoi again, her eyes moving back and forth between the two's faces, until Hinata's small face turned slightly red, and she couldn't help but lower her head, before revealing a playful smile, nodding knowingly, "I see."
Finally, Kurenai Yuhi's gaze landed on Shino Aburame, who was wrapped up tightly, his hood covering his hair, his Forehead Protector covering his forehead, his sunglasses covering his eyes, his collar covering his chin and nose, revealing only a little bit of skin on his face.
Shino Aburame said plainly, "My name is Shino Aburame, my specialty is also sensing and the clan's Secret Technique, I usually like to go to the forest to find insects, my favorite food is Vegetable Salad and Winter Melon, I hate things with strong smells, my dream is to find new species of insects."
"Very good, now everyone has a certain understanding of each other."
Kurenai Yuhi smiled with satisfaction, and said, "But before we start performing missions, I have to test your abilities. Tomorrow at nine in the morning, at this same place, I want to play a Survival Exercise with you."
"By the way, the theme of this Survival Exercise is a snatching battle, your opponent... is me."
Kurenai Yuhi pointed to herself, then waved her hand and smiled, "See you tomorrow, remember not to be late."
After saying that, Kurenai Yuhi didn't give Izayoi and the others a chance to react or ask questions, and disappeared as a shadow.
Izayoi and the others looked at each other.
"Izayoi, what do you think?"
Shino Aburame asked, preparing to test Izayoi.
Although he was often suppressed by Izayoi and the others, Shino Aburame didn't think that his other aspects would be inferior to the two, except for his academic performance, which was not as good as Izayoi and Hinata.
Unrestricted duels were only available in the sixth grade, once a month, as a monthly exam.
Until graduation, Shino Aburame had not been matched with Izayoi and the others.
Other classmates were not worthy of him using the clan's Secret Technique.
So no one knew that Shino Aburame had been hiding his strength.
He had already noticed the hint left by Kurenai Yuhi.
If Izayoi hadn't noticed it, it meant that his brain wasn't as quick as his own.
Considering Hinata Hyuga's relationship with Izayoi, Shino Aburame would still concede the position of leader.
But if Izayoi's decisions were wrong, then he shouldn't blame him for not giving face and refuting him outright.
Izayoi naturally didn't know Shino Aburame's thoughts.
After listening to Shino Aburame's words, he slowly spoke his analysis: "There's no need to wait until tomorrow, we can know the result now. With us few Genin who just graduated, we are no match for a Jonin at all."
"Even if tomorrow's Survival Exercise is just a snatch game, if the Jonin isn't willing, we won't be able to snatch it at all. After all, you can also see that in the school's Survival Exercise, those Chunin teachers actually showed mercy. As long as the performance isn't particularly bad, they won't be eliminated."
"So tomorrow's Survival Exercise, if our performance satisfies Teacher Kurenai, she will also show mercy to us."
"Then... how can we satisfy her?"
Izayoi leaned against the tree stump where Kurenai Yuhi had just stood and continued, "Teacher Kurenai just said that she is testing our ability, not our strength! A ninja's battle is a battle of information. In the self-introduction just now, Teacher Kurenai has already revealed her information to us. She is good at all types of Genjutsu."
"It's still morning now, and we can start the Survival Exercise immediately, but she gave us a day to prepare, and also pointed out the theme and location of the Survival Exercise. This is obviously giving us time to formulate a battle plan and set up traps."
"As long as our tactics and teamwork are up to par, Kurenai Yuhi should deliberately hold back and let us successfully snatch the passing props."
Looking at the eloquent Izayoi, Hinata Hyuga's beautiful eyes sparkled, not concealing her admiration for Izayoi.
Shino Aburame still had his hands in his pockets, wrapped up tightly, and his expression couldn't be seen.
The newest novels are first released at .
However, in his heart, he had completely recognized Izayoi and felt inferior to him.
Although he also noticed the hints left by Kurenai Yuhi, Shino Aburame didn't think as detailed as Izayoi.
Worthy of being the Top Student.
It seems that not only is he hiding his strength, but probably no one in the class has seen Izayoi's true strength except for Hinata Hyuga, who just said that she likes to train with Izayoi.
So, Shino Aburame asked again, "Then Izayoi, what is your tactic?"
Different from the previous probing, Shino Aburame recognized Izayoi's position as leader this time and prepared to listen to his arrangements.
"If you want to formulate tactics, the premise is that we have a deeper understanding of each other."
Izayoi waved to Hinata Hyuga and Shino Aburame and said, "Come over and reveal your trump cards, and talk about the moves you are best at, and the effects of those moves."
Hearing this, Hinata Hyuga and Shino Aburame immediately walked over.
Then the three of them formed a circle and began to communicate in a low voice.
Not far away, Kurenai Yuhi stood on the treetop of a big tree, looking at the three people communicating, with a gratified smile on her face, even more satisfied with these three students and subordinates of Izayoi.
The hint just now was indeed deliberately left by her.
The purpose was to test the observation ability of Izayoi's Eighth Squad, and see how long it would take them to react.
As a result, Izayoi's Eighth Squad was so outstanding.
She had just left, and they immediately guessed that the Survival Exercise and assessment time were to test their ability and teamwork.
"Really excellent, such a combination, it's not that there is no hope of winning, I will definitely make you pay the price for underestimating me."
Kurenai Yuhi thought of the bet before the team assignment, whether it was Kakashi Hatake or Asuma Sarutobi, who had been trying to please her, didn't take her seriously, she thought to herself.
Immediately, her body twisted and disappeared like a mirage.
