In the courtyard, Natsuki, Nawaki, and Minato were training.
Orochimaru stood not far away, occasionally speaking to give them guidance.
To him, having one more Minato would not cause any trouble.
Because he was also very skilled in Wind Release.
"Rest for ten minutes."
Orochimaru estimated the ti and spoke.
The three of them imdiately stopped training.
"Sensei."
Natsuki put away the Sword of the Thunder God, walked up to him, and said, "I plan to challenge Uchiha Mikoto."
"Then you need to learn how to deal with genjutsu."
After hearing this, Orochimaru thought for a mont and said.
The shinobi of the Uchiha Clan could all be considered genjutsu shinobi.
The reason was the Sharingan.
The Sharingan had many functions, but its three most basic functions were observation, copying, and hypnosis.
Observation referred to the Sharingan's extraordinary observational ability. It could clearly see a target's movents and even the flow of chakra.
Copying referred to the Sharingan user's ability to quickly learn the target's taijutsu and ninjutsu. Only Kekkei Genkai could not be copied.
In the original work, after Kakashi obtained the Sharingan, he copied over a thousand ninjutsu and was called the Copy Ninja.
Hypnosis referred to genjutsu. The Sharingan could cast and see through genjutsu.
"Mm."
Natsuki nodded and said, "I want Sensei to teach how to dispel genjutsu."
"I want to learn too!"
Nawaki raised his hand and said.
Minato did not speak, but the expression on his face revealed his thoughts. He also wanted to learn.
Because in the shinobi world, genjutsu shinobi were often very troubleso.
With the slightest carelessness, one could fall into genjutsu and lose the initiative.
"With your talent, you can learn how to dispel genjutsu in one month."
Orochimaru did not refuse and directly said, "For this month, you will all learn together."
He did not waste words and began explaining genjutsu.
Genjutsu was essentially Yin Release.
It achieved ntal attacks by manipulating the flow of chakra in the target's cranial nerves.
Simply put, it disturbed the target's five senses and created illusions.
Because of this, genjutsu could be divided into visual genjutsu, auditory genjutsu, tactile genjutsu, and so on.
Among them, visual genjutsu was the most common.
For example, genjutsu related to the Sharingan was all visual genjutsu.
When fighting shinobi of the Uchiha Clan, there was one famous saying, do not look at their Sharingan.
There were two thods to break genjutsu.
One was to break it yourself, and the other was to have a teammate help.
But the essence of both thods was the sa, disrupting the flow of one's own chakra.
When fighting a genjutsu shinobi, speed was crucial. One had to dispel the genjutsu before the genjutsu shinobi launched their attack.
At noon the next day.
On the rooftop of the teaching building where Ninja Academy second-year Class A was located.
Natsuki, Uzumaki Kushina, Yakushi Nono, and Namikaze Minato gathered together for lunch.
"Natsuki."
Minato spoke, "I've already found out information about Uchiha Mikoto."
"Who is Uchiha Mikoto?"
Kushina asked in confusion.
"She's the top student of the sixth year."
Minato answered.
"Natsuki is going to challenge her?"
Kushina's eyes lit up as she asked, "When?"
Nonō also looked at Natsuki after hearing this.
"It hasn't been decided yet."
Natsuki shook his head and said, "Minato, you go first."
"Uchiha Mikoto has a one-tomoe Sharingan. The students who fought her were all defeated by her swordsmanship."
Minato said in a deep voice, "It's said that those students couldn't even touch the corner of her clothes."
"That sounds a lot like your style."
Kushina stretched out her chopsticks and picked up a piece of chicken from Natsuki's bento box.
Her bento box had been prepared by Mito. Although it did not taste bad, it was far inferior to the bento Natsuki made.
"It is indeed a little similar."
Minato nodded slightly.
Because of his strong dynamic vision and reaction speed, he could predict his opponent's movents in battle.
The most typical example was his fight with Kushina.
Kushina's taijutsu was actually stronger than his, but she could not hit him, so naturally, it had no aning.
Natsuki was different. His swordsmanship was too fast, making it very difficult for Minato to react and dodge.
"She hasn't used Fire Release or genjutsu?"
Natsuki thought for a mont and asked.
"She has used Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."
Minato answered, "She hasn't used genjutsu."
"Natsuki, are you confident?"
Kushina tilted her head and asked.
"Judging from the current information, her strength is below mine."
Natsuki pondered for a mont and said, "I'm just worried that she knows genjutsu."
Uchiha Mikoto had not shown her strength in the original work. It was only known that she was a Jonin.
Since she could beco a Jonin, her talent naturally would not be too poor.
"Then I'll challenge her in a month."
Natsuki finally made a decision.
One month was both to learn how to dispel genjutsu and to learn Uchiha-Style Swordsmanship.
Ti always passed quickly, and October arrived in the blink of an eye.
One month later, on the Ninja Academy training field, the students of second-year Class A and sixth-year Class A gathered together.
Natsuki used the sa thod and went to ask Ishida Yū for help.
The first ti was unfamiliar, the second ti was easy. Ishida Yū also agreed very straightforwardly and went to find the sixth-year class, arranging another class exchange.
"As expected, a gap of four years is too big."
Ishida Yū could not help but shake his head as he watched the battle on the field.
The exchange between the two classes had continued until now, and second-year Class A had only won two matches.
Those two matches had been won by Kushina and Minato.
"Twenty-seventh match, Kira Natsuki against Uchiha Mikoto!"
Ishida Yū's spirit lifted as he shouted loudly.
This was undoubtedly the highlight of this class exchange, and the students from both classes began discussing it.
Although Natsuki was Orochimaru's student, Mikoto was an Uchiha, and she was four years older.
Aside from a small number of people, most students believed Mikoto had a greater chance of winning.
Natsuki looked at Mikoto.
She had long black hair and fair skin, and her whole person carried a calm air, like a gentle older sister from next door.
"Mikoto-senpai."
Natsuki took the initiative to greet her.
"I heard your na a long ti ago."
Mikoto said in a gentle voice, "It is my honor to spar with you today. Please guide ."
Natsuki nodded.
Most Uchiha were very proud and looked down on others.
But Mikoto was completely different. It was hard to associate her with the Uchiha Clan.
"Begin!"
Ishida Yū announced.
Mikoto imdiately raised both hands.
In an instant, dozens of shuriken arrived above Natsuki's head.
Natsuki raised an eyebrow.
As expected of an Uchiha.
Her ninja tool throwing skill far surpassed others her age.
Movent-Type Magic, Weight Reduction!
Reinforcent Magecraft!
Natsuki's body swayed and suddenly blurred as he charged toward Mikoto at extre speed.
The dozens of shuriken imdiately lost their target and fell to the ground one after another.
So fast!
Mikoto hurriedly activated her one-tomoe Sharingan.
After capturing Natsuki's movents, she drew her ninja sword.
One Sword Style, Lion Strike!
Natsuki imdiately saw that what she was using was Uchiha-Style Swordsmanship.
He had been learning it recently, so he imdiately found her weakness.
Natsuki's wooden sword accurately blocked her ninja sword.
At the sa ti, his wrist pressed down, and a trendous force surged out.
Mikoto's expression changed, and she could not help but retreat half a step.
But her reaction was also fast. The ninja sword in her hand suddenly changed direction and swung, stabbing straight toward Natsuki's abdon.
Golden Right Foot!
Natsuki kicked her ninja sword.
Mikoto only felt her right arm go numb, and she almost lost her grip on the sword.
What trendous strength!
As she thought this, she withdrew backward.
At that mont, she sensed danger.
One Sword Style, Thirty-Six Pound Phoenix!
Natsuki held the wooden sword with both hands and slashed toward her.
A solid sword wave surged out.
A sharp sensation enveloped Mikoto, making it hard for her to breathe.
At the critical mont, she threw out her ninja sword.
The ninja sword shattered within the sword wave.
After all, what she was using was also a wooden sword.
But Mikoto took this chance and disappeared directly from where she stood.
"Body Flicker Technique?"
Natsuki quickly looked around.
In the next second, scorching heat churned.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
As soon as Mikoto appeared, she spat out a large fireball.
One Sword Style, Iai, Lion Song!
Natsuki gripped his wooden sword, and his whole body turned into a streak of light as he rushed forward.
Mikoto imdiately reacted.
Because Natsuki's swordsmanship was already famous in the Ninja Academy, she was not surprised when she saw One Sword Style, Iai, Lion Song.
She used the Body Flicker Technique again and ran a distance to the left.
By the ti she steadied herself, her fireball had already been split in half by Natsuki.
Without another word, Natsuki charged toward her.
Now!
Mikoto imdiately ford hand seals with both hands.
Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique!
A D-rank genjutsu. Its effect was to make the target see the image they feared most in their heart.
But at that mont, Mikoto was slightly stunned.
Because she saw Natsuki throw away his wooden sword.
Non-Systematic Magic, Phantom Blow!
Natsuki raised his hand.
At the sa ti, Mikoto released her genjutsu.
Both of their bodies stiffened, and they stood frozen in place.
Mikoto felt as if her head had been struck by a hamr, leaving her extrely dizzy.
Natsuki saw the scene he feared most, that was, being caught by Root, with Danzo in front of him laughing sinisterly.
Genjutsu Release!
Natsuki had already expected this. The instant he fell into the genjutsu, he broke it.
He took one step forward and arrived in front of Mikoto, pressing a kunai directly against her neck.
"He won!"
Kushina imdiately showed an excited expression.
Minato, on the other hand, felt imnse pressure.
What was going on with Natsuki?
What was that ninjutsu at the end?
When did he learn it?
Why had he beco so much stronger again?
For a mont, he had many questions.
