Noting one of the remaining two mbers of the Agakure squad coming their way, Atsui spoke, “Shee-san, I will be the forward, please provide support…” then he used Body Flicker Jutsu to close in on the Tengu-masked Agakure shinobi.
“Damn it, he is too hot-headed… but Alright…” Although a little frustrated, Shee nodded in response and began to weave hand signs to release a Genjutsu.
On the other side, as Atsui appeared closer to Tengu, he slashed the Tantō in his hand, ‘Cloud Style: Fla Beheading!’ releasing a wave of fire that threatened to burn Tengu to smithereens, but before the fire could touch the Tengu masked Agakure shinobi, he moved to the side, avoiding the fire slash in the nick of ti. The dodged fire slash struck a tree not far away.
‘This guy is fast!’ thought Atsui as he changed his grip, and once again attacked Tengu with a wave of fire, Fwaaaaa! But just like the last ti, this ti too, Tengu dodged the attack at the last minute causing the fire to collide with the tree, Boom!
“Is dodging the only thing you can do?” questioned Atsui, in an attempt to taunt Tengu.
“……” Tengu tilted his head and gave no response.
“Tch…” Atsui clicked his tongue, then shook his head, and spoke, “I guess, I have to get a little serious…” Then started a flurry of attacks on Tengu as the two started another close-quarter fight other than the fight occurring between Raijin and Darui at a distance.
Shee–who had made preparations to use a Genjutsu on Tengu–turned to look at the third Agakure Genin and concluded that they probably didn’t have any intention of interfering, so he used the Genjutsu on Tengu, ‘Lightning Style: Flash Pillar!’
Instantly, an extrely bright light appeared out of Shee’s body trying to disorientate Tengu’s vision. Normally, once the target’s vision is disorientated, it becos possible to implant false images in their heads to put them into Genjutsu, but against the bright light Shee’s body emitted Tengu wasn’t much affected, instead, he used this opportunity and wrapped Atsui using a black tail, then led him far away from the main battlefield while leaving behind words, “If you want him back alive… co after !”
Shee cursed, “Atsui…! Damn it!” he was pondering over what to do now. At this rate, Atsui’s life might be in danger, but he can’t just leave Darui behind either, hence the dilemma.
At this ti, Darui appeared beside him with panting breath, and instructed him, “Go after him!”
Shee hesitated, “But…”
Darui ordered in a serious tone, “We have already failed Samui-san once… we can’t allow sothing to happen to Atsui!”
Shee gritted his teeth, and nodded, “I understand!” he turned to look at Samsara and Raijin on the other side, then sighed disappearing using Body Flicker Jutsu.
As Shee disappeared, Darui breathed a sigh of relief, and questioned Samsara, “Aren’t you going to go protect your friend?”
Samsara–who hadn’t moved from her place–responded lightly, “Tengu is strong…” Her aning was clear, just those two Kumogakure shinobi weren’t capable enough of defeating him.
Darui frowned, “Is that so?”
Raijin chuckled, “Enough chit-chat… let’s go…” and attacked Darui as lightning flashed all around him.
…
Monitoring Room, Forest of Death
Looking at the continuously falling trees and the dazzling lightning dancing through the forest of death, silence gripped the monitoring room.
At this mont, all attention was focused on the fight between Raijin and Darui.
There are hundreds of caras secretly arranged in the forty-fourth training field for the complete observation. It’s just that Raijin and Darui’s speed is too fast to capture even for the latest cara technology, as such only ghostly after-images, flashes of lightning, diffuse smoke, wildly spreading fires, and patches of overturned trees were visible to the people in the monitoring room.
In fact, a few caras were also destroyed in the aftermath of the battle.
Be that as it may, the individuals present in the monitoring room are highly experienced, so they were able to judge the scale of battle based on the minimal data the caras were able to display.
Watching everything happen on the screen, Tsunade-hi spoke coldly, “Indeed… this year we have excellent ‘Genins’ participating in the Chūnin Promotion Exam!”
Not to ntion Tsunade-hi, even Elder Hiruzen had a gloomy expression.
The type of battle that devastates the terrain is difficult even for highly trained Jōnins, let alone a few Genins!
Hearing Tsunade-hi’s words, even the thick-faced Raikage was a little embarrassed, but more than embarrassed he was surprised as he watched the battle between Raijin and Darui.
In fact, the only reason he is currently in Konoha is Raijin. Raikage was not supposed to co to Konoha until the final round of the Joint Chūnin Promotion Exam, however, upon learning that a Shinobi from Agakure might have mastered the Lightning Chakra Mode, he hurriedly ca to Konoha. He had difficulty believing that soone from Agakure could master the Jutsu exclusive to the Kages of his village.
Looking at the Screen, Ay thought to himself, ‘Show boy… have you really mastered the Lightning Chakra Mode!’
…
Sowhere in the Forest of Death
Compared to the people in the monitoring room who were far away from the monitor, Kakashi and other Jōnins proctors who were inside the forest of death undoubtedly had a deeper understanding of the battle in the distance.
Looking at the thunder and lightning in the distance that was still dazzling under the bright sun, as well as the flocks of birds and beasts flying away in fright, Shizune asked blankly, “Uh Kakashi, if I rember correctly, this is a Chūnin Promotion Exam, right?”
Asuma who had joined everyone, was speechless, “Even in the Third Great Shinobi War, I did not have the opportunity to witness a battle of this scale… it’s only possible when either Akatsuki or Amatsukami is involved!”
Hizashi–with his Byakugan activated–spoke with a solemn expression, “The intensity of Chakra on both sides is increasing continuously… And since it is Lightning Chakra, it’s either changing the polarity of everything or dispersing charge in the surroundings, I am afraid, at this rate, they will start affecting a very large part of the Forest of Death!”
Hearing Hizashi’s words, all the Jōnins frowned, and Kakashi beca even more serious.
…
Sowhere in the Sky
Sitting on the back of the clay bird, Kurotsuchi muttered in a dissatisfied tone, “If we continue to fly in the sky, how will we find the Scroll of Heaven? Deidara-kun… are you listening!”
Deidara answered, “Silence woman, if you continue to annoy , I will drop you from here!”
Kurotsuchi snorted coldly, “Humph!” but beca silent. After all, Deidara is really psychotic enough to follow through with what he speaks, and unlike her grandfather, she can’t fly, so she is afraid of being dropped from such a height.
Satisfied that Kurotsuchi was silent, Deidara suddenly took out a monocular-type device from his shinobi bag, and put it over his left eye, trying to observe sothing in the distance.
At this ti, a few honeybees flew toward Suzubachi on the back of the clay bird and started to buzz sothing in her ear.
Kurotsuchi noticed the bees, and asked, “What do they say?”
Suzubachi answered, “The intensity of charges has increased in the surroundings… it’s getting difficult for them to keep track of others…”
“Intensity of charges increasing? How could it happen all of a sudden?” mumbled Kurotsuchi with a frown, and looked above, “There are no rain clouds here either… then how?”
“I have an answer to that…” Just as Deidara spoke, suddenly, a thunderous explosion ca from a distance.
Boom!
Everyone looked in the direction of the explosion, dozens of streaks of lightning seed to be continuously falling down on the forest, “Wha–what is that?!”
