Phantasmagoria VS .....Mokuton

In the school building.

A group of sixth-year graduates were so nervous that they were trembling all over.

These young boys and girls who were on average twelve years old trembled when they heard the exclamations outside.

Extreme excitement and extreme fear, two complex emotions intertwined.

This was too exciting. None of them had experienced such a scene.

"It's so troublesome. Why did Yuuji Sensei put so much pressure on us graduates? We could have graduated without a sound."

Shikamaru had a decadent look on his face and pursed his lips, still looking like he did not have any energy.

However, the sweat on his forehead proved that his heart was not as calm as it seemed.

No matter who it was, they would panic. There were so many powerhouses who had shocked Ninja World and even entered the school to watch the battle. This kind of thing...

"Shikamaru, you will definitely be fine. You are the best among us."

Munch Munch

Choji held several bags of snacks in his hand, his face ferocious. He used his other hand to grab the snacks one by one and stuff them into his mouth.

He really didn't know what to do. He didn't need to relieve the pressure and divert his attention in this way. He suspected that even walking was a problem.

"Don't joke around. Although Shikamaru has a high IQ, when is he the best? Isn't the most outstanding one Naruto and Sasuke?" Inuzuka Kiba touched the Akamaru in his arms.

"You don't understand. What I mean is that Shikamaru is the best of the three of us." Choji mumbled while chewing.

"Ah?" Kiba tilted his head, unable to understand.

"Idiot Kiba, the three of us are me, Choji and Shikamaru. After this exam, no matter what the results are, the three of us will definitely be a team."

Next to him, Ino said, "Our three families, Ino-Shika-Cho, have always been standing together. From the beginning of Warring States Period's era, our three families have been working together."

"So that's how it is... I almost forgot about this. We still have to split up. After the exam, we will be official ninjas." Kiba was deep in thought.

Who would he be in the same group as?

At this time,

Neji, who was in charge of maintaining the order of the graduates, walked over.

Neji, Rock Lee, Tenten

As soon as they appeared, it caused a stir.

"Hey, look, it's the strongest team from last time!"

"It's actually the three of them..."

These three people were the strongest in last year, and their talent was also eye-catching.

However, it also depended on who he was going to compete with. Compared to Naruto, this year's competition wasn't very eye-catching. Even if he pierced through the heavens, he would only be a second-rate match.

"Another year has passed. I really miss it... I wonder how much Sasuke's strength has grown." Lee clenched his fists, flames burning in his eyes.

Tenten covered her head, "When you were in school, you were not confident in defeating Sasuke. Not to mention now, it is not shameful. Sasuke's background is too good, and his Sensei might be the strongest person in Ninja World."

"No, I have been practicing hard this year. I learned Guy's forbidden technique and went out to carry out many tasks! I must be stronger than Sasuke! After they finish their examination, I will challenge Sasuke immediately and defeat him face to face!" Rock Lee said solemnly.

Neji did not participate in the discussion between the two. He just walked down the steps, entered the crowd, and stood in front of Hinata.

"Miss, if you meet an invincible opponent, you can directly forfeit. This is not shameful." Neji said in a low voice.

Hinata nodded calmly. "I know what to do."

The two of them looked at the front of the group, at the position closest to the exit.

Naruto and Sasuke stood out from the crowd, taking the lead and standing at the front, looking forward to the outside.

Everyone was somewhat afraid of emotions.

But these two did not.

The two of them are confident that their strength is absolutely beyond ordinary people, and they will beat them to the ground even if the Jonin comes!

With this kind of confidence, what was there to be afraid of? They only cared about whether they could display their talents as much as possible and whether they could defeat the enemies next to them!

"Enjoy the present time as much as you want. You only have this last bit of time to be called first by others. I will defeat you soon." Sasuke looked outside and sneered.

Naruto grinned. "It seems that you have prepared a big surprise for me. Can you defeat me just like that? But you have already said something like this for six years. How many times have you honored it?"

"This time is definitely different! No matter what kind of power you use, it is impossible to defeat me. Because I have already grasped power that surpasses your limits!"

Sasuke lowered his head and looked at his open hands.

The vigorous chakra surging in his body gave him a strong sense of power.

As long as he used this chakra to call out that guy...

Naruto was not his opponent at all!

The crowd behind gradually quieted down, watching the two people once again speak fierce words to each other.

They did not interrupt because they were not qualified. The gap between them and Naruto Sasuke was too big.

But Yakumo, who was standing behind Naruto, smiled and said, "The two of you have such a good relationship. Do you usually look like this? How enviable."

"!"

"?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who has a good relationship with this bastard? I want to smash his face with a punch!"

"Humph, this is what I wanted to say. Don't think that you can talk nonsense just because you are the disciple of Senior Kazue."

The complexion of Naruto and Sasuke changed. They snorted coldly and turned away at the same time.

"Your name is Kurama Yakumo? Although I don't know what Senior Kazue has taken a fancy to you, you better be careful. Don't accidentally be tortured to tears by our current batch of graduates."

Sasuke sized up Yakumo and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Yakumo was indeed a different kind of person.

She was nameless, but he was suddenly chosen by the top expert in the family, Kazue, and accepted as a disciple.

In the end, she changed classes to the sixth grade as soon as she entered the academy, and even participated in the graduation exam with them.

This was very magical, and it also meant that in the eyes of an expert like Kazue, Yakumo, this new transfer student, in reality...

Wasn't at all inferior to this batch of graduates?

Hmph, even if she was extraordinary, she was only at the third-rate level.

Yakumo only smiled. Her personality was very good. "I will work hard and try not to disappoint you."

Naruto said, "You should try to avoid meeting the two of us."

After a while, Yamato's voice came in.

"They're here. We're going to enter the arena in order!"

The bodies of the examinees shook, and their breathing suddenly quickened.

Under the organization of Neji and some of Sensei, these graduates formed a group of five and walked out of the crowd one after another, standing on the sports field.

Of course, the graduation exam would not only take one test, but many other tests at the same time.

Including the Sword Throwing Technique, concealment ability, battle, and so on.

The key was still the battle. The first few tests were just a formality, making it convenient for the battle to be divided into groups.

Shua, shua, shua!

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, a group of examinees went up to the stage, displaying their talents.

"Oh, the quality of the students this time is generally higher than the previous batch."

"That's right, all the results have broken the record of the previous batch."

"This batch might be second only to Lord Yuuji's batch."

It wasn't just one person who liked to compare this batch with Yuuji's.

Yuuji's batch had given birth to super geniuses like Yuuji, Kazue, and Kakashi. Now, they were all super geniuses like Kage level and Kage-level, supporting Konoha.

Looking at the entire history of Konohagakure, it was an extremely rare situation.

As for Naruto's batch, many people had high hopes, hoping that there would be three more experts who would start out from Kage level.

From the looks of it, Naruto Sasuke had the highest possibility. His talent and education were far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Eh, why is the examinee still pulling his crotch like this..."

"That young girl is the new disciple of Lord Kazue, right? How come she hasn't even grasped the most basic ninja throwing?"

As they watched, many people were confused.

When the other examinees went on stage, they all played with throwing skills, and the weakest one could also hit the target.

However, Yakumo was different. All the swords in her hands and Kunai that she threw out missed the target, not a single one of them hit the target.

This was very difficult.

Even the most basic standing posture and throwing strength were very problematic, as if they had never learned throwing skills at all.

It almost hit Sensei on the side of the field, making people drop their glasses.

Just this?

Just this?

This was Uchiha Kazue's disciple? This was the "genius" who had just entered the ninja school and entered the sixth grade, directly participating in the graduation exam?

"Kurama Yakumo. 0 points." Yamato looked at Yakumo with an expressionless face.

Yakumo still maintained a gentle expression, without any shame or uneasiness.

With a calm face, she went down and waited for the next test.

"That child is the legendary Kurama. It is said that because of physical problems, she can not become a ninja..."

Looking at the stage, many people were already discussing in low voices.

Of course, their knowledge would not be so shallow, because the performance of the throwing technique was belittling Yakumo.

These distinguished people had already gathered some information about Yakumo when Kazue took in Yakumo.

What really made them curious was that since the basic skills of Yakumo were so bad, how could they pass this graduation exam?

It had to be known that not all graduates could pass the graduation exam smoothly.

Some people looked at Kazue from the corner of their eyes.

Kazue nodded slightly. It seemed that she was not surprised by Yakumo performance.

"Kazue, in such a short time, you can raise the body of Yakumo to such an extent. It seems that you have spent a lot of energy."

Minato said to Kazue.

"You flatter me, Hokage Sama." Kazue looked straight ahead and did not explain too much.

The reason was very simple. Yakumo physical condition could be improved a little. It was all because of human experiments.

And this kind of thing could not be said on the surface.

Very quickly, the tests ended one by one, and the scores of each examinee were released one by one.

The real segment of the battle with an acute objective arrived.

"According to your performance, I will divide all of you into seed groups and ordinary groups. In each match, there will be two matches. The method of the seed candidates fighting ordinary candidates will be elimination."

"The other Sensei present will record your performance in detail. Even if you lose, it doesn't matter. If you perform well, it will not affect your graduation. The main point is to show your talents to your heart's content."

"Do not attack your vital points, do not kill them. As the referee, I can judge from experience that the competition can be terminated at any time. The release rights are in my hands."

Yamato looked at all the candidates in front of him with a poker face.

After the series of tests just now, these examinees had already calmed down a bit. Some of the people from the ordinary groups were very dissatisfied with this method of grouping. They stared at the rear end of the seed group and were eager to try.

Competition was the true essence of this graduation exam.

"The first match, Uzumaki Naruto and Kurama Yakumo!"

"Oh! The first match is the first place?"

"What's there to see? That girl called Yakumo clearly doesn't have the qualifications to become a ninja. Looking at her standard just now, it's too bad!"

"She failed the physical body test and scored 0 points in the throwing technique. This kind of examinee... What exactly did Lord Kazue take a fancy to her?"

The people outside the school who were watching the battle with their necks stretched out were all confused.

Even many of Sensei in the school, as well as some people who didn't understand Yakumo, were very confused.

Even if some people faintly speculated that the talent of Yakumo illusion should be very outstanding.

Because in the past few years, Yuhi Kurenai often went to the Kurama family, which should be teaching Yakumo who could not go to the Ninja School.

But no matter how outstanding she was, how strong could she be?

"The physical fitness is only at the standard of ordinary people. This kind of physical fitness can display a powerful illusion?"

"It ended before it even started."

Some people secretly shook their heads.

With Yakumo 'terrible performance, it was impossible for her to dodge Naruto's physical attack.

Kurama Yakumo, last place, Lord Kazue's disciple, in the first match against the strongest Uzumaki Naruto, I'm afraid she will be instantly eliminated in one move.

Mingren and Yakumo stood in the middle of the field, attracting the attention of everyone.

"I didn't expect your first opponent to be you. Your luck is really bad." Naruto looked at the weak Yakumo and reminded, "You should give up."

Naruto was really worried that with his physical skills, he could beat Yakumo to death with a single punch.

"What a surprise. Naruto has a gentle side? I thought you were a very cold person. Except for Sasuke, nothing can attract your interest." Yakumo pulled her long hair to her ears and said gently.

She looked harmless and easy to bully.

Naruto frowned and said impatiently, "Since you are looking for trouble, I will not be polite."

Yakumo smiled and nodded. "But let me remind you, if you have hidden power, it is best to take it out now. Otherwise, there will be no chance."

Naruto's eyes narrowed and his expression changed slightly. After a cold snort, he immediately rushed forward, his speed astonishing.

He planned to use his body technique to attack Yakumo!

But after the kick, Naruto directly passed through Yakumo.

"Clone? No, it's an illusion technique!" Naruto quickly turned around.

Several Yakumo slowly appeared around Naruto.

"Not a clone... So many of you are also part of the illusion?" Naruto frowned.

But in the eyes of the spectators, Naruto was like a fool as he muttered to himself.

The kick just now directly kicked the air in front of him.

"What happened? Naruto is..."

Everyone was discussing.

"I'm going to go. Naruto... Illusion - Terror Illusion Realm."

After Yakumo said this, their figures immediately disappeared.

Naruto felt that he had fallen into a dense and unknown space. Looking out, there was chaos.

Moreover, strange shackles appeared out of thin air and stretched towards Naruto.

"This is also an illusion technique? It's very strong. There's no way to break it with normal methods."

Naruto said to himself: "But no matter how powerful the illusion is, it is useless to me. I don't intend to use ordinary method to break the illusion... Big Fox, help me."

"I know, what a troublesome little brat, but you still have to be careful. The illusion of the other party is indeed unusual."

Kurama stretched out his claws, and released a large amount of chakra to pull Naruto out of the illusion.

The current Yakumo still had no way to break through the seal of Naruto and Eight Trigrams, and control the nine tails.

Naruto easily broke free from the illusion, and suddenly attacked, grabbing the neck of Yakumo.

No one knew when, but Yakumo had arrived in front of Naruto, holding a handful of Kunai in his hand.

"Physical skills are not worth mentioning, and you probably don't know Ninjutsu. The most skilled Genjutsu are ineffective against me... Yakumo, you lost because you met me."

Naruto was about to exert his strength and force Yakumo to admit defeat.

"Is that so? As expected of Naruto, then I have to be a little more serious... Genjutsu - Illusion - True Life."

Yakumo said, and her body began to disappear.

Naruto's expression changed, and he suddenly looked around.

Yakumo appeared out of thin air and slowly walked over. They turned into flames that seemed to have a life of their own and surrounded Naruto.

"What's going on?!"

"Where did this flame come from? I didn't see Yakumo use Ninjutsu!"

Even on the viewing platform, many people couldn't sit still and were shocked.

This battle had been very strange from the very beginning.

A person of such quality like Naruto had actually been hit by an illusion silently. After quickly breaking free, he grabbed onto Yakumo.

Logically speaking, this should not be a problem.

However, the disappearance of Yakumo and the creation of so many flames that seemed to be alive was very unusual.

Some of the elite Jonins did not understand.

"Yakumo, who only knows illusion techniques, did not form seals, but summoned flames. It looks like a Ninjutsu..."

Fugaku Itachi and the others opened Sharingan to observe.

The more they looked, the more shocked they became.

"It can only be an illusion technique. These flames are still illusions." Itachi suddenly thought of something. "However, all of us can see flames. There is no such illusion technique. Even my Tsukuyomi can not use it on so many experts, so..."

"Is it a technique that can turn illusions into reality? It is like Izanagi's reverse usage. Senior Kazue, no wonder you are tempted."

Shisui said in a low voice as he turned to look at Kazue.

The crowd turned their gazes over in unison, unable to conceal their shock.

Turning illusions into reality? This kind of ability was ridiculous!

Uchiha Clan's Izanagi was outrageous enough, but Yakumo ability was even more inconceivable!

No wonder even an expert like Kazue couldn't help but step forward to accept a disciple!

Looking at all of Konoha and even all of Ninja World, wasn't the person who was best at changing between real and fake the most, Uchiha Kazue?

"Then doesn't this mean that whatever you think in your heart will reveal something? Naruto is in danger." Might Guy couldn't help but say.

Kazue said lightly, "Young man, take a closer look. This is just the beginning. Yakumo's ability is not just like this. Naruto won't be defeated so easily."

Sure enough.

In the sports field, numerous flames began to twine, turning into one Sky Fire after another, spinning at a high speed, even creating a strong wind.

Just from the power, the scale of these flames was comparable to A - level ninjutsu!

Naruto was surrounded and had nowhere to run. Facing these flames, he couldn't avoid them.

In the end, he was completely engulfed.

Everyone was shocked. Could it be that the famous Uzumaki Naruto had lost just like that?

"Hmph, how boring. That idiot Naruto wouldn't be defeated so easily."

Sasuke snorted and looked at the battle impatiently with his hands on his hips.

Yakumo's performance was indeed beyond his expectations. This kind of illusion was too strange.

Sasuke felt that even if he went up against Yakumo, he would not be able to win easily.

But Yakumo wanted to defeat Naruto so easily?

"Come on, Naruto. Let me see your strength. What kind of strength have you gained during this period of time?" Sasuke's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Just when people thought that this competition would become the biggest cold door of this year.

Phew!

The flames suddenly began to twist, as if something had suddenly appeared inside, and the flames were forcibly pushed away.

Under the stunned gazes of countless people.

A black tree started to grow from nothing to nothing, and it abruptly turned into a towering tree that lay across the middle of the field!
