On the training ground.
Thick wooden branches danced in the air. They were as nimble as pythons, yet tougher than cowhide. They twitched in the air, emitting popping sounds as they did so.
Aoyama was agile, dodging the encirclement of the wooden branches while thinking about how to end the battle. After all, this was an assessment, not a life and death battle. Some methods were not useful, and he didn't dare to use them.
Although the assessment didn't necessarily require one to defeat the opponent, it was enough as long as one reached a certain standard. After all, in general, an ordinary newly promoted Jonin would definitely not be the opponent of those veterans.
However, the problem was that Aoyama didn't want to promote so simply. He needed to show his strength.
"There's no other way." Aoyama sighed, deactivated Hyorinmaru's Shikai state, and sheathed his sword.
In an instant, Aoyama entered Sage Mode. A pair of exquisite dragon horns grew on his forehead, his golden-red eyes were like two blazing suns, and seven or eight arm-thick virtual snakes coiled around him, baring their fangs and sticking out their tongues.
"Immortal Technique, Double Lotus Azure Flame Fall."
He stacked his hands together, and a sky-high blue flame ignited, wrapping around the thick wooden branch. The scorching flame crazily spread out, spreading and burning on the wooden branch. The originally astonishing vitality of the wooden branch simply did not have any power to resist. It only slightly twisted twice, and then quieted down like a dead snake.
The temperature of the azure flame was too astonishing, and it instantly extinguished the vitality of the wooden branches. Tian Cang also reacted and quickly pulled out his arm. Although he was fast enough, the flame still burned his palm, and a large part of the back of his hand was burned.
Not only was Tian Cang injured, but a large number of wooden branches were also burned to ashes, and a thick layer of black dust covered the ground. Only then did the azure flame disappear.
"Damn it …" Tian Cang felt pain on his hand and couldn't help but curse. Fortunately, his vitality was extremely strong, and the burn on the back of his hand didn't continue to worsen. Instead, it was slowly healing, although the speed was very slow.
"Wood Release, Flying Wood."
Tian Cang didn't retreat. Enduring the pain caused by the burn on the back of his hand, he made another hand seal, and a huge rectangular wooden pillar appeared in mid-air and smashed straight down.
"Immortal technique, Ironwind Slaughter."
Aoyama wasn't in a hurry at all. She stood on the spot and raised one of her hands into the air. A violent hurricane howled out, and countless wind blades and swords rushed into the sky, clashing against each other. It was quite interesting.
This time, the Falling Giant Tree failed to block the attack. The power of the Immortal Technique was far beyond that of ordinary Ninjutsu. The Wind Blade and Wind Sword cut the Giant Tree Pillars into pieces, and then they were blown away by the strong wind. Not even a residue was left behind.
"So strong!" Kiba's eyes widened, and Akamaru beside him also trembled, looking at Aoyama in fear. As a ninja dog, Akamaru's perception is very sensitive. Aoyama in Sage Mode connects the natural energy between heaven and earth, forming a terrible sense of oppression.
"Indeed, Aoyama's current state is very … terrifying." Shino, who has been silent, couldn't help but speak. The insects in his body were very restless now, and after thinking about it, he summed up the perception of the insects in the word 'terrifying'.
"Shino, what kind of Ninjutsu do you think Aoyama is? Why did it change?" Kiba comforted Akamaru, who was a little uneasy, while talking to Shino.
"I don't know, I have never seen such a Ninjutsu." Shino shook his head. The high collar and sunglasses blocked his face, making people unable to see the change in his expression.
Aoyama's change and the strength that she showed really shocked everyone, including Solar Foot. He saw the fluctuation of Chakra in Aoyama's body, and the translucent snakes swallowed the natural energy to make up for the Chakra that Aoyama consumed.
"This brat … I haven't seen him for a few months, and he has become so much stronger." Solar Foot murmured. The Hyuga family has a long history, and they have a certain understanding of natural energy. Although they don't know how to use it, they have seen some words in the scrolls.
"What kind of Ninjutsu is this, to be able to use natural energy … this is simply invincible." Solar Foot's vision is very sharp, and he also noticed the benefits of Sage Mode. With the endless natural energy as the foundation, even Tian Zang can't exhaust it.
"Shizune, Kurenai, this assessment is about to end, right? I think Tsuka Aoyama's strength is enough to bear the title of Jonin. "Solar Foot put away the thought of wanting to teach Aoyama a lesson and said very impartially.
"I agree, there is no need to let them fight anymore." Kurenai nodded her head neatly.
The situation in the field was already one-sided. Aoyama raised his hand and used Ninjutsu, making Tian Zang exhausted and unable to fight back at all. However, Aoyama's attacks were very rhythmic, and although Aoyama was able to suppress Tian Zang at the right time, it still didn't completely end the battle.
Looking at the situation in the field, Shizune couldn't help but smile bitterly. She had seen how powerful Aoyama was. Tian Zang's strength was definitely at the top of the Anbu, but now, he was beaten into such a sorry state. Moreover, the onlookers also retreated far away to make room for the two to fight.
"Fire Style, Totem."
Another fierce flame rolled up more than ten feet high, forming a fierce sea of fire. Aoyama didn't just use Sage Mode, he also used Ninjutsu to fight.
The so-called Sage Mode wasn't so simple. Just injecting Natural Energy into it can't be called Sage Mode, but it can indeed strengthen the power of Ninjutsu. Sage Mode was more complicated, and Chakra's use of Sage Mode wasn't so rough.
Up until now, he had only mastered a few Celestial Techniques. Among them, the Iron Wind Kill and the Twin Lotus Azure Flame Pendant were created by himself. Each of them took him a lot of effort to successfully develop. Borrowing the names from the memories of his previous life, it could be considered a small remembrance.
But even so, Aoyama released a series of Ninjutsu without hesitation. For a time, wind and fire intertwined, and thunder burst out, suppressing Tian Zang's Wood Release.
Clusters of flames rolled, burning the sea of wood, and crackling sounds of explosions were endless. When wood is burned dry, it is easy to explode, and the sound is particularly loud.
"Aoyama, you can stop now, the assessment is over." Shizune shouted with all her strength. If her voice was low, she was afraid that it would be covered by the explosion in the field.
"Let's stop." Aoyama raised his right hand high. When he heard Shizune's words, he immediately stopped. Fighting until now is enough to show his strength. He was just waiting for someone to say something.
"Okay."
Tian Zang answered very quickly, without any hesitation. In this short period of time, he has been attacked several times. Although he wasn't seriously injured, it was still very painful. It was just an assessment, so there was no need to fight so hard.
He has long lost the will to fight, but with so many people watching, it's a bit shameful to admit defeat directly. He can only hold on and wait for Solar Foot to speak.
