Chapter 393: Chapter – 388 Testing Team – Ro and Learning Rasengan
Team – Ro Anbu codes:
Watatsumi – Hyuga Kuroto
Akame – Yuhi Kurenai
Rabbit – Gekko Hayate
Hana – Uzuki Yugao
Weasel – Uchiha Itachi
…
The next day's early morning.
Watatsumi arrived at the Training Field – R3, where the newly formed Team – Ro was to be assembled for some combat training and to receive the basics of their first mission.
Watatsumi took a quick look around and noticed that the other four members of Team – Ro, i.e. Akame, Rabbit, Hana, and Weasel – are all present.
"Captain!" — the four members of the Team - Ro greeted Watatsumi.
"Good, you're all here on time." "There are two reasons for calling the four of you in the early morning," Watatsumi said after a brief pause. "First, we need to figure out what combat methods we'll use on missions. Each of you has told me about your skill sets and areas of specialization. As the captain of Team – Ro, I now need to know your skill level and the current strength of the four of you in order to design appropriate fighting strategies."
"How are you going to do it, captain?" - Weasel inquired as he raised his hand.
"Of course, by direct combat." - Watatsumi responded to Weasel's query.
"It makes sense..." - Rabbit and Hana exchanged nods.
"And what is the second reason?" Akame inquired.
"I'm glad you inquired." "Here is a scroll in my hand, it records the second reason for calling out the four of you, as the captain of Team - Ro, I am assigning the four of you a mission, and the mission is to steal this scroll from me," Watatsumi said, pulling a white scroll from his shinobi bag.
Use any and all methods necessary, or better yet, I'm ordering you four to use every means and tactic available to you, from the brightest and most clever to the dirtiest and most deceiving... Everything is permissible. Even critical damage or killing me is permitted, but you must steal this scroll from me within the 24-hour time restriction.
Please keep in mind that if the four of you fail to perform this duty, you will all be expelled out of the Anbu department, understand?"
"Are you serious, Captain?" Hana inquired, surprised.
"Yes, even if you're the team's captain... and even if you're stronger than all four of us, you'd be battling all four of us at the same moment..." - Akame frowned as she spoke.
"Not to mention ordering us to use any and all means duri-... *cough-cough* during practice," says the narrator. Rabbit added his two cents.
Only Weasel remained mute, and he began to plan some counter-strategies against Watatsumi. He didn't challenge Watatsumi's comments because he was well aware of Watatsumi's strength. And he realized that defeating Watatsumi would require them to employ all of their might and more.
"I am incredibly serious, come at me with everything you have," Watatsumi warned, "because anything less would be uninteresting."
"Isn't he staring down at us?" Hana asked.
"It's not about looking down on you," Watatsumi remarked, shaking his head. "There's just that much strength disparity between us. Try it for yourself if you don't trust me. One of the goals of this test is to provide each of you with a wake-up call... I have gone over each of your records to see what missions you've done so far... However, believe me when I tell... The operations that Team – Ro will be doing from now on will be on a whole other level."
Hearing Watatsumi's statements, the four exchanged glances before nodding.
"Alright, if you say so," Akame nodded blankly. "However, don't blame us later. Anyway, Tsunade-sama is in the village, so you won't die captain even if you get harmed."
"We'll see about that," Watatsumi joked.
"Sure, we'll do it." - all four said at the same time.
"Alright, now that that's decided, one thing I want all of you to know is that I won't attack until you four launch an attack... So you can be patient and plan your strategy, but keep in mind the time restriction. Now that we've clarified everything, the present time is 04:32:29 AM, this test will begin at 04:33:00 AM and end at 04:32:59 AM tomorrow, understand?" - Watatsumi expressed his thoughts.
"Yes!" – The four nodded and prepared themselves...
"Alright, 20... 17... 15... 11... 7... on the count of three, three... three... two... one... START!"
All four of them vanished from their positions and hid away in an instant.
They weren't hidden from his Byakugan, but he did give them the time they needed to prepare. Watatsumi retrieved another scroll from his shinobi bag and thought to himself, 'I suppose I should start learning the Rasengan as well.'
Rasengan is the apex of Shape Transformation, according to Yondaime Hokage, and learning it isn't easy... but it isn't impossible.
There was a clear three-step process given in the story for learning the Rasengan.
1. Rotation: The chakra must be spun in several directions at the same time.
2. Power: To enhance the degree of damage, the input chakra's density and volume must be raised.
3. Containment: The powerful spinning chakra must be contained in the shape of a ball in this step.
Individual approaches for learning these three processes include churning water in a water balloon until it explodes, exploding a rubber ball, and lastly spinning chakra inside an air balloon without allowing it to pop or move for steps 1, 2, and 3, respectively.
That is a basic strategy that can assist in the mastering of Rasengan when combined with hard work. Kuroto, on the other hand, does not need to devote so much time to it. Kuroto's chakra control is excellent as a Hyuga, so he believes that mastering Rasengan won't be too tough for him.
After making that decision, Kuroto studied the scroll containing the mechanism and an in-depth explanation of the Rasengan according to Yondaime Hokage and then began the three-step process by removing a filled water balloon and twisting his chakra to churn the water inside the water balloon.
…
POV Shift.
"What is he doing?" Akame inquired of Hana.
"Well..." Hana explained, " He's just standing there and doing something to a water balloon with his chakra..."
"It's a little aggravating that he doesn't seem to take us seriously." With a groan, Rabbit said.
"Ano, what good is it for us to be hiding here? He has the Byakugan, after all... I'm confident the captain is aware of our exact location..." - Weasel remarked.
"I understand, but we must design a strategy... Moving away won't help; instead, let's plan a strategy... It's possible that if we convince him that we're under his watch, he'll let down his guard a little. So, in order to design a strategy, we'll need to bring out all of the information we have on his skills..." – Akame stated and took the charge as she is the most senior of the four.
"He has approximately 360-degree eyesight with Byakugan..."
"He is obviously very proficient at Gentle Fist Style Taijutsu, as he is one of the strongest Hyuga..."
"I've heard he's also a master of Strong Fist Style Taijutsu..."
"He wields that sword as well, and there are whispers that he is currently Konoha's best Kenjutsu user..."
"I've heard he also utilizes poisons and venoms, so we'll have to keep an eye out for that..."
"He's also skilled in Shurikenjutsu..."
"He's also a Fuinjutsu master... I heard a story that he knows practically all of Konoha's Fuinjutsu..."
"Does he employ any basic chakra Natures Ninjutsu?"
"He doesn't appear to... I'd never heard of it..."
"He also doesn't appear to be a Genjutsu practitioner..."
"Yes, but Genjutsu doesn't work on him either..."
"How are we going to beat him?"
"The captain stated that we must steal the scroll; do, we do not have to defeat him in order to steal that particular scroll..."
"That is correct, but we must also prepare for the struggle... Getting close to him without alarming him is nearly impossible now that he possesses Byakugan..."
"What if we take advantage of the Byakugan's blind spot? He's a Branch House member..."
"That might work... So... we'll do this... and then that... and we do so based on his response..."

Chapter 394: Chapter – 389 Multilayered Cyclic Genjutsu
Traning Field – R3, 05:29:58 AM
Splash…
Watatsumi nodded in appreciation as the water balloon in his hand burst. It hasn't even been a few hours since he started with the first step of the Rasengan Practice and it has already been perfectly completed.
'Now on to the next step…' – Watatsumi thought and took out a rubber ball from a storage scroll.
"Huh…?" – But before he could start with the next step, suddenly he felt a fragrant odor. Then suddenly vines started to sprout out of the ground from behind him and entangled around his left calf, then the right calf, then the wrist, and then the other wrist, and finally around his neck.
'Akame's Genjutsu huh?' – Watatsumi thought with a calm expression. He doesn't plan on using the Tenseigan, as such Genjutsu did affect him, albeit only slightly. And since this is a test, he has to give them enough opportunity to be able to show their capabilities otherwise this will all be pointless.
'The sight of the beautiful cherry blossom trees, the sound of the wisp of wind, the sense of touch and pain from these vines trapping me, the fragrance of the falling Sakura petals, and the sense of balance because of my movements being restricted… Her Genjutsu proficiency has improved drastically from the last time… it is affecting all five senses as well as the sense of balance.' – this was Watatsumi's thought.
"Let's end this Captain!" – Akame suddenly appeared on the tree binding Watatsumi and lunged her Kunai at him.
"I can't deny that you have improved greatly since our last battle, but if you think that this alone would be enough, then you are sorely mistaken! It wouldn't be this easy!" – Watatsumi said and disrupted his chakra flow, "Kai!"
Instantly the Genjutsu tree binding him disappeared and the scenery changed, but instead of returning back to the forest, Watatsumi found himself falling through the clouds, "Huh? A two-layered Genjutsu… And I have to admire their skills for giving me the feeling as if I am really falling from such a height…"
"Kai!" – Watatsumi again disrupted his chakra… but again, instead of returning back to the forest, he found himself somewhere else… this time it was a closed room filled with thousands of Chinese red-headed centipede… and Watatsumi was at the center of the room, his arms, and legs bound on a metal Chair with metal bearings, and those thousands of red-headed centipede crawling all over him, some going inside his mouth, inside his nose, inside his both ears, pinching his eyes, legs, stomach… overall, it was way too disgusting and painful for Watatsumi to keep ignoring it, as these centipedes had even entered inside his body and were crawling and biting him all over, "Kai!"
Again, instead of returning back to the forest, Watatsumi found himself in an acid hot spring, where something probably a hand was constantly pulling him inside, to drown him in the acid lake which was also burning his body, "Kai!"
Tied on a large stake bare feet with salted water pouring over it, then a few goats appear and started licking his feet, "Kai!"
And again, being eaten by chimera ants, "Kai!"
Again, his body turning something akin to a monster "Kai!"
Again, bound in Shackling Stakes, "Kai!"
Again, Crows turning into shuriken and impaling him, "Kai!"
Body turning into paper "Kai!"
Drowning in the depths of the ocean and unable to breathe, "Kai!"
Nothing except for darkness, "Kai!"
Nothing except for whiteness, "Kai!"
Burning to death with Black Flames of Hell, "Kai!"
Freezing eternally, "Kai!"
In a small room with no exit and all the 6 walls converging inside, "Kai!"
…
…
…
…
…
Witnessing Yui's death, "Damn it to all to hell! KAI!"
…
P.O.V. Change:
"Did it take effect?" – Rabbit asked to no one, but he did hear a voice in his ear, "The Multilayered Cyclic Genjutsu that both I and Akame worked together to cast on Captain wouldn't be able to hold him for very long, he has already broken free of over 77 Genjutsu… he is affected somewhat but it's not to such an extent… we don't have enough chakra to keep up with his pace of freeing himself, hurry up we don't have much time, this is the best opportunity for us to steal that scroll from Captain."
"Got it…" x 2 – Both Rabbit and Hana nodded, and from two sides rushed at Watatsumi, but what's strange is that only Hana's figure was visible, Rabbit's figure was invisible.
"Cough… spurt…!" – Akame coughed out blood, "Be careful, he has freed himself from all the Genjutsu…"
Hana said, "Don't worry, from the looks of it, it did have some mental trauma on him… it should take him a moment to regain his sense of balance, at that moment I will fight him…"
"Weasel… mess with his vision, make it difficult for him to find the real Rabbit!" – Akame ordered Weasel.
"On it!" – Weasel nodded, and the crow sitting on the tree branch started to work.
On one hand, Hana had already reached close to Watatsumi and jumped into the air, she then swung her sword in a circular motion leaving a trace of afterimages behind, then she rushed at Watatsumi to deliver a blow, 'Oborozukiyo!' (Hazy Moon Night)
On the other hand, there were also several invisible Rabbits closing in on Watatsumi, 'Mizakuzi no Mai' (Dance of the Crescent Moon)
…
P.O.V Change
"Huff huff huff huff… I have to say that was way beyond what I had initially expected, and I am seriously impressed but it's all pointless!" – Watatsumi spoke in a cold tone, 'Hakkesho Kaiten!' (Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven!).
Instantly, a protective shield of spinning chakra appeared around Watatsumi which repelled both Hana and the invisible rabbit, as well as destroyed the two invisible Kage Bushin of Rabbit.
Poof… Poof…
Plop… Plop…
The moment, spinning chakra around Watatsumi disappeared, Weasel, made his next move.
'Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!' (Fire Release: Fireball Technique!)
Instantly a large fireball rushed towards Watatsumi.
Akame and Rabbit also used that opportunity to cut off his escape root
Whiish whiish whiish whiish whiish whiish,
Watatsumi noticed the fireball, and he also noticed the several shurikens coming towards him, instead of resisting them, he flickered from his position at a speed faster than that of shuriken and kunai and appeared on the other side.
Tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk
Whiish whiish whiish whiish whiish whiish
Instantly more shuriken kept coming at him, Watatsumi also took out a few shurikens from his sleeves and started a Shurikenjutsu battle with Weasel.
Akame and Hana also rushed at him with a Kunai and Sword in their hands in order to overwhelm him with their numbers.
Ding… Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding
A battle of Shurikenjutsu, Kentutsu, and Taijutsu started…
Whiish Whiish whiish whiish whiish whiish whiish whiish
With Watatsumi now in a fight against Akame and Hana, Weasel made his next move.
Eight shurikens were thrown by Weasel that after a series of precisely guided collisions, one shuriken managed to cut the strap of Watatsumi's shinobi bag.
Cut…
Plop…
Slash… Smash…
The next moment, Hana's swords that had been cut into several pieces fell on the ground, and the next moment, Akame who had been kicked in the gut by Suijin flew out and collided with the tree…
Rabbit said while taking out the scroll from inside of Watatsumi's shinobi bag, "Alright, captain cough*, here's the scroll, I have it in my hand!" – at some point during the battle he had managed to sneak up near Watatsumi by using his invisibility, and Weasel's Genjutsu on him to his advantage.
"Hmm… I guess you did manage to take my Shinobi bag, but are you sure that the scroll you hold is the right one?" – Watatsumi questioned with a smirk.
Weasel, Akame, and Hana instantly realized it, "No, that's a trap!"
Poof…
But it was already too late, as Watatsumi weaved the hand signs, and instantly white smoke covered Rabbit's figure. When the smoke cleared, it revealed Rabbit's body tightly bound by a snake.
The very next moment, a scroll fell down from the sky and was caught by Watatsumi with his left hand.
Holding the scroll in his hand, Watatsumi said, "Well then what now…? Still want to continue or would you like to retreat and make another attempt?"
'Damn it, the gap between us has not only decreased but has increased several times over the years…' – Akame cursed inwardly, but she still issued the order, "Retreat!"
With her order, the four instantly retreated, and Watatsumi started to walk away from this place, 'I wonder how long will it take for them to realize the real meaning of this test, or will they even realize it? I guess I am going to play around with them for some time. Let's see what they are going to do in their next attempt, it's fun…'
