Chapter 11: Aizen's Talent

"Ah, what did you say, teacher! We passed the exam?" Whether it's Kiba or Shino, they were dazed and surprised.

"Qualified? What's the matter?"

Hinata's fave was full of excitement.

Even Aizen was taken aback, he didn't expect Kurenai to change her mind and let all four of them pass the assessment.

"Do you know what is the most important requirement for being a ninja?" Kurenai gazed at the four of them, and said, "Ninjas must be calm and cautious to complete the mission. Among them, the most important point is teamwork!"

The four of them seemed to feel the weight of the word "companion" from her eyes.

"Ninjas must never give their backs to the enemy, but they can entrust it to your newcomer's companions. This is the spirit of teamwork."

"Originally, you have lost the qualifications for the assessment. However, you quickly realized the meaning of teamwork. Therefore, you have the qualifications to become a ninja."

Hearing these words again, the faces of all four of them showed surprise smiles, and thier original sadness was wiped out, restoring thier spirits. After all the hardships in the ninja school, they have finally become a Genin.

"From today, I will lead you to carry out tasks. The name of our team is called Konoha Class 8!" Kurenai gave a thumbs up to the four of them.

"Great, I finally became a ninja." Kiba cheered and shouted constantly. 

Aizen stood beside him and smiled slightly, also feeling ecstatic, with a low-key gentle smile.

He was glad that he didn't have to go back to the Academy. It would be a big waste of time, and would have delayed his plans.

After all that, the Academy wouldn't aid him in increasing his strength in the slightest, and it also wouldn't have taught him anything more the he already knew.

"Don't be happy too early. Before carrying out the first task, we have to do another thing. As your mentor, I will teach you ninjutsu in the future to help you grow smoothly."

Kurenai proudly said, "Although I am not good at ninjutsu, I am one of the best ninjas in Konoha. Therefore, in the future, my teaching will be based on illusions."

"Illusion?!" Hinata, Kiba, and Shino nodded at the same time. As early as in the ninja school, they learned that ninjutsu, physique, and illusion are the three major combat skills of ninjas.

Earlier, in the Ninja School, Iruka taught them the most basic Thunder jutdu, but not every student could learn it, because they don't have the thunder attribute Chakra. But illusion is different, there is no specific attribute requirement for the basics, only talent and hard work is needed.

"Maybe you have no idea about true illusion. Look, this is my mastery of illusion." Kurenai smiled slightly, and her hands quickly formed a seal. Then her figure slowly twisted, and finally disappeared completely in front of the four.

"How is it possible! Where did the teacher go?" The three of them were dumbfounded how Kurenai disappeared in front of them silently. 

Aizen's expression was equally surprised, but there was a trace of imperceptible disdain hidden deep in his pupils.

"Magic·Tree Binding." Her voice sounded out of nowhere, and the four of them were about to turn around, but they were shocked to find that they were intertwined in tree roots that rose from the bottom of their feet and gradually formed a big tree.

The branches of the tree held them tightly making them unmovable.

"Damn it, what's this trick?" Kiba struggled desperately, but couldn't move, his body was tightly branched, making him difficult to breathe.

"It's over, kids." Kiba felt a chill from his neck. He looked down, but found that Kurenai was behind him. Her figure appeared behind the four, with a kunai on their necks. If she were to exert a little effort, they could easily end their lives.

"This is illusion, which can take the life of the enemy without them realising it. Once I hit my magic tree, you will be tightly rooted and unable to move. Only by cracking the illusion can you move freely. However, it is of course impossible to do it with your strength."

Kurenau unhurried explanation made the four of them feel the power of illusion. In her opinion, it is a matter of course that they were caught in her illusion, after all, the four of them are just rookies who have just become Genin, and only the illusionist genius could see through his illusion, but it is a pity that none of the four are.

"Can only the heavens break this illusion?" Aizen groaned in his heart, and a touch of blue rushed into the depths of his pupils, and Kyōka Suigetsu's power emerged.

Soon, all the branches that were bound to him loosened.

His palm immediately grabbed the kunai resting on his neck and moved it away.

"This, how is this possible!" Kurenai saw what Aizen did, and this stunned her, because Aizen had really broken her illusion.

"How is this possible that you can crack my ninjutsu?!" Kurenai who was surprised, stared at Aizen, who was able to move around freely, and her breathing became rapid.

This magic tree-bound technique is mysterious and unpredictable, and it is one of the famous tricks that she had. As Konoha's top illusion ninja, she is confident that few people can break her skills. But unexpectedly, Aizen, who looked inconspicuous, could easily crack it.

"Is he an illusion genius?" Kurenai was shocked in her heart, her gaze stayed on Aizen for a long time. She had heard some clues from Iruka's mouth earlier, that Aizen is a ninjutsu genius.

Now, Aizen has easily broken his her illusion, this showed that Aizen not only has a strong talent in ninjutsu, but also a peerless genius in illusion.

Aizen smiled at Kurenai, and easily broke free of the shackles of the big tree.

"Aizen actually solved the illusion of Teacher, my God, isn't this true?" Kiba was stunned, thinking he was having hallucinations. Rubbing his eyes quickly, he found that Aizen was standing opposite him and looking at him with a smile.

"It's amazing. Teacher said that only peerless geniuses can solve this illusion. I didn't expect that Aizen is not only amazing in ninjutsu, but also has the same powerful talent in illusion." Hinata sighed in shock, however, her words were more of a worship. Although Aizen has a low start, he has a strong talent.

"It really surprised the teacher, Aizen. I didn't expect you to have such a powerful illusion talent, and you weren't affected by my tree-bound skill. This talent is already at the level of that man from back then." Kurenai frowned and her expression became solemn.

Uchiha Itachi, the genius ninja of the Uchiha clan. He had a strong talent for pupil skills, and at an early age he was good at illusion.

In terms of illusion, Konoha has few people who can match up to Kurenai, and one of them was Uchiha Itachi. 

It's just that this genius ninja defected to Konoha a few years ago and became a vicious S-rank rebel.

"Teacher, when you performed ninjutsu, I felt something in my mind, and when I regained consciousness, I was bound by the big tree. But this feeling quickly disappeared and I regained my ability to move." Aizen scratched his head awkwardly, looking at her, and with a dazed expression on his face he couldn't tell why he was able to break the illusion.

"Oh, it's really a mistake." Kurenai sighed heavily, and she saw Aizen's face blankly, and even a bit panicked. She understand that Aizen broke her illusion only by chance, however, this also showed that Aizen's talent in illusion is extremely powerful.

"Illusion, solution!" Kurenai's hands moved, the tree was released, and the rest regained their ability to move.

The three of them looked at Aizen enviously, the power of illusion that made them yearn for, however, Aizen is born with an advantage, it's not something they could obtain even if they wished for.

"However, this is also a good thing. Kiba, the three of you are all good ninjas. Now that there is an illusion genius Aizen, the cooperation of your team will be ever-changing in the future." Kurenai gave Aizen a thumbs up, and was very happy for him. The most important thing is that Kurenai is an illusion ninja, and naturally hoped that one of in the academy is also good at illusions.

"Okay, let's end this matter. From now on, I will teach you all in accordance with your aptitude, and according to your own characteristics." Kurenai said like a caring big sister from next door, and she walked up to the four of them and said solemnly, "Okay, back to the topic. Now that our eighth class has been established. Then of course start the task. "

"Great, I can finally start the mission."

Kiba's teeth leaped high, and cheered, it has always been his dream to become a ninja and perform tasks.

"In our Konoha Shinobi village, missions are generally divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D. Similarly, ninjas are also divided into four levels. They are Genin, Chūnin, Jōnin, and Naruto."

Kurenai solemnly said, "Each ninja has different mission permissions. For example, D-level tasks can only be performed by Genin, but C-level tasks can be performed by Genin and Chūnin. As for A-level tasks, Jōnin-level personnel are required to execute."

"So, the four of you are rookies and only have the full power to perform the D-level mission. Tomorrow, we will perform the first D-level mission. At that time, I look forward to your performance."
