"Is it the Nightmare Tapir?"
Black Zetsu watched quietly.
The Nightmare Tapir was a stupid and troublesome creature. No wonder …
Normally, his ability to hide was undetectable, but he was careless and didn't consider the Nightmare Tapir's secret technique. Coupled with the slight fluctuation in his emotions, Akabane sensed his presence.
However, this guy wouldn't care if he switched places instantly.
Black Zetsu stared into the distance, quietly observing Akabane and the Genin's every move. It seemed like a boring Genin training.
With such strength, he was in charge of training Genin?
Black Zetsu stared for a while and took out a comic. In order to get to Wood Leaf as soon as possible, he only read half of it.
Anyway, with his strength, it wasn't a problem to multitask.
In the training field far away.
Akabane frowned slightly. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't sense anything.
It must be Black Zetsu!
It didn't matter if it was or not, he was sure it was him. However, he couldn't find Black Zetsu, so he could only ignore him for now. But if he could find him …
Akabane thought for a while and signaled to the others. He then made a hand seal to release genjutsu. In fact, he didn't need to make any hand seals to use genjutsu.
The seals were just a signal to tell the others to be careful.
There's an enemy?
Kyosuke frowned slightly. He then saw that Akabane was telling them to stay put and be ready to wake the students up and lead them to retreat.
What's going on …
He didn't understand, but as a veteran, he understood that as long as there was no problem with the decision made by the higher-ups, it was fine.
Just like now.
Everyone in the genjutsu had no resistance. If there was an accident, waking them up and covering their retreat would be the best solution.
The genjutsu was released, and the group was pulled into the genjutsu.
Black Zetsu was stunned. What was the use of such a large-scale genjutsu on Genin?
It seemed to be some kind of training.
Black Zetsu was stunned for a few seconds. After thinking about it, he could guess the possible use of this technique.
A group of Genin, and they were on the same side. How could they use offensive ninjutsu? It could only be used for training.
Training with genjutsu was a strange idea …
"What a stupid thing to do. But it's not bad to have such an interesting guy after so long …"
Black Zetsu put away his comic and prepared to leave.
However.
At this moment, he sensed an aura appear beside him out of thin air.
That brat?
He was slightly taken aback when he saw Akabane shatter the tree beside him with a single punch.
Black Jue slipped away quickly, burrowing into the ground.
"No one? It seems that I was overthinking things. "
Akabane frowned slightly.
The Little Dream Tapir had absorbed the spiritual energy of the ninjas in the illusion when he used the Illusion Skill earlier. Since he was connected to their spiritual power, he gained a significant boost. Moreover, the Little Dream Tapir could sense emotions, thoughts, and spiritual bodies.
He finally noticed the vague location that made him feel uncomfortable.
Coincidentally, there was a Flying Thunder God Imprint nearby, so he used his Shadow Clone to stay where he was, while his original body flew over in an instant.
It was a shame he hadn't caught him, but Akabane's goal had been achieved. "Is there no one here?" Akabane had only said it for Black Zetsu's benefit. He wanted Black Zetsu to think that he had attacked because of his intuition.
"This kind of speed, it really is Black Zetsu …"
Akabane understood.
In reality, he had seen a black silhouette burrowing into the ground, but he had pretended not to see it.
After thinking about it, it seemed like there was no way to attack Black Zetsu directly without exposing his Sharingan and knowing that he had Black Zetsu.
It was just like what Hatake Kazumi said.
Keeping his trump card under the right circumstances would help him defeat his opponent at the critical moment.
After thinking about it for a long time, he chose not to attack Black Zetsu. Instead, he flashed his fist.
It was uncomfortable to be remembered, so he had to warn Black Zetsu when the time was right. Otherwise, Black Zetsu would think that he was a pile of mud that he could mess with.
The warning this time should make Black Zetsu worry.
Akabane thought to himself.
"Master, earlier …"
"I don't know. Maybe I was mistaken."
Akabane continued acting. He then got someone to clean up the fallen tree while he returned to control the illusion.
Kyosuke squatted down awkwardly and looked closely at the remains of the trees.
It was definitely not a random punch. There was a strong sense of purpose behind it.
Was there really someone here earlier?
"Master Kyosuke."
"You guys help me deal with this. I'll continue taking care of things over there."
Kyosuke stood up with difficulty and returned to Akabane's side.
In the illusion.
Everyone followed the path from the Land of Fire to Whirlpool Village.
This was the grand illusion.
Everyone was assigned together. Due to Lu Ming's excellent leadership, it didn't take long for everyone to decide that Lu Ming would be their leader.
They had made great progress, mainly in terms of teamwork.
Even Uchiha Akira was able to form perfect teamwork with everyone. Everyone worked hard and soon arrived near Whirlpool Village. However …
The battle had only just begun.
"Master, if we enter the illusion as well, won't there be no one guarding outside?"
Kyosuke was somewhat worried.
"No problem. There should be no one guarding outside, and there's still the Black Ops."
Akabane opened the door to the "Projection Room."
To be honest, even he didn't know how much everyone had improved in the past month.
After all, over the past month, he had only been in charge of training for half of the time. The rest of the time, Sho Sho and Zi Xiao had been in charge. However, everyone was doing quite well for their current positions.
In terms of power level, they were at least on the level of elite Genin. The strongest among them could even exchange blows with a Chunin.
"Actually, Lu Ming already has the ability to become a Chunin. As long as he's a bit stronger, he'll definitely become a Chunin after taking the Chunin exam."
Kyosuke spoke in a low voice.
"He's from the Nara family, after all. Every generation has a few extremely smart ones."
Akabane commented.
Everyone had already entered Whirlpool Village and was preparing to evacuate.
Seiji had greatly shortened the storyline. Actually, the battle at Whirlpool Village lasted for three whole days!
During these three days, the "Renegade" never stopped attacking. Everyone gathered together, but they were unable to break out. In the end, they had to rely on the Whirlpool Tree Forest to bring up the rear and break out of the encirclement.
Here, they were only surrounded by thirty waves of monsters and the final wave of countless enemies.
Some people weren't able to last until the end.
Some died in battle, while others died protecting their companions, such as Maito Dai.
In order to cover everyone's retreat, Seiji did the same thing as the Whirlpool Tree Forest. He opened the Fourth Gate of the Hachimon Tonkou and cast Inner Lotus in the illusion.
This child indeed had potential in the Hachimon Tonkou.
Akabane was quite satisfied with everyone's performance. As the test neared its end, Akabane left behind a Shadow Clone and returned to the village by himself.
Everything in the village was harmonious.
After Akabane returned to the village, he didn't go anywhere else. Instead, he went to find Mito Vortex.
This was the perfect time to remind her about Black Zetsu.
Thousand-Hands Clan.
As usual, Mito Vortex was teaching ten Whirlpool Clan members how to use sealing techniques.
She still looked like she was in her thirties and was incredibly beautiful. But for some reason, Akabane felt that she seemed to have aged.
Is it because my spiritual power has become stronger?
Akabane froze for a moment and looked at her from a distance. Mito Vortex pretended not to notice and gently pointed out some of the tricks of sealing techniques.
After a few seconds, the class seemed to be over.
"You continue to practice and be sure to master these precious sealing techniques as soon as possible."
Mito Vortex said gently.
"Yes, Grandma Mito."
Everyone answered in unison.
Uzumaki Mito walked out of the courtyard. She walked very slowly, just like a normal old woman, but her appearance was still beautiful.
Akabane was silent.
The closer he got, the more he could feel the weakness of this powerful Shinobi of the same generation as Madara.
"Don't look at me like that, after all, I'm a little old."
Mito Vortex said lightly.
"You …"
Akabane was stunned.
She knew that he could feel this?
"Come on, accompany me for a while."
Mito Vortex smiled.
Akabane kept up with her. Mito Vortex didn't say anything here, indicating that she didn't want others to know what she was going to say.
The Senju clan's land itself was relatively remote. Walking out of the clan's land, they came to the forest, and they could even see the Nankaku River from here.
"Nankaku River, it is said that Hashirama and Madara used to know each other by the river over there."
Mito Vortex said while pointing to the distance.
"Yes, it is said that the two clans used to fight here."
Akabane said.
"Yes, the endless war, Hashirama and Madara, both of them longed for peace and didn't want to have war, but unfortunately, there are subtle differences in their ideas."
Mito Vortex sighed and said, "Akabane, peace is not something that can be achieved by one person, it requires everyone to work together, and it requires everyone to give their love. I hope that you can be another Hashirama, not another Madara. "
"You really think highly of me when you compare me with people like Hashirama and Madara."
Akabane was very embarrassed.
Such an evaluation …
"You have such potential, such as this time, you have become stronger, and you can even sense the aging of my body."
Uzumaki Mito chuckled, "When I'm old enough, you can continue to protect the village on my behalf. This is the will of fire of withered leaves and sprouting new leaves."
"Grandma Mito."
Akabane said a name, and then he didn't know what to say. This wise great ninja really noticed that he was different.
Even if she didn't know where this power came from, she pinned her hopes on him.
"Speaking of which, why are you looking for me?"
Uzumaki Mito remembered that this guy never came to the Senju Clan if he didn't have anything to do.
With his temperament, he must have encountered something.
"I am in the reserve department, and I may have met a guy with a terrible hiding ability. I can't judge his ability for the time being, but he is very good at escaping and hiding, so I came here to remind you to pay attention."
Akabane said.
Mito Vortex was slightly startled, then she thought of something and asked after a long time: "He is very good at hiding, how did you notice it?"
"I'm not sure, I just felt very uncomfortable, but when I got close, with the secret technique of the Nightmare Tapir clan, I did sense the existence of spiritual energy, so I can be sure that there is indeed someone hiding there."
Akabane explained.
"Feeling uncomfortable … So to say, I have had this feeling before. It was the day before Uchiha Madara defected, he came to find Hashirama. I felt a little uncomfortable at that time, but that feeling disappeared quickly, and I didn't care. "
At that time, Mito Vortex was very confident in her perception ability. Since she couldn't sense it, then it was an illusion.
If Akabane's discovery was the same as her feeling at that time …
Mito Vortex thought of this, and she felt cold all over. Was there another person behind Madara's defection from the beginning to the end?
