Asuma raised his head and while looking at the countless ink birds swarming him, he laughed mockingly, "Have you kids come here to die as well?!"
"Do it now!" At this shout, all the ink birds circling Asuma and the others flew away, and suddenly a swarm of insects attacked the four members of the Akatsuki Organization.
The swarm of insects died the battlefield in a darker tone.
At the same time as Shino swarmed the battlefield with his insects, Tenten unfolded her giant scroll and shot countless Kunai toward the other three members of the Akatsuki Organization.
The sudden appearance of ink birds, insects, and Kunai made the battlefield chaotic.
Although Asuma and the others were psychologically prepared to face such a situation upon Kuroto's prior warning, however, when they saw it really happening, they were taken aback, they had to admire the guts of these young kids for they dared to raise their weapons against enemies they couldn't possibly hope to win, and the best part of all of this is their combined effort.
But even if surprised, they are Jonin, Special Jonin, and highly experienced Chunin, after all, so, as soon as they saw insects, ink birds, and kunai coming towards them, each of the waved hand signs and used their respective Jutsus to deal with the kids' attack.
Asuma used his fire-style Jutsu to bun all the insects, and Anko dealt with the incoming Kunais using wind-style Jutsu, while Genma and Raido used their Kenjutsu skills to cut down all the ink birds attacking him.
At the same time, darkness covered her and the world around her changed, seeing this change of scenery, Kurenai smiled, "Using Genjutsu on me?"
Being a Genjutsu specialist, she immediately realized that someone was using Genjutsu on her, and being aware of the identities of all the children in the vicinity, she easily guessed who the person was, "So, you still have some fight left in you, the little girl of the Kurama Clan?!" said Kurenai as she flared up her chakra and broke out of it.
After breaking out of the Genjutsu, Kurenai dashed towards Yakumo.
Her most Powerful Genjutsu was so easily broken by Kurenai, Yakumo was tired and vulnerable at this moment, and seeing the member of Akatsuki coming towards her, she panicked, "Not good!" and closed her eyes, in fear, afraid that she would die.
But the expected pain did not come, confused, she opened her eyes and saw Kurenai standing still with something pink wrapped around her, restricting her movements, and as she turned around to look at the person responsible for this, she noticed Mika standing behind her with her hair stretching out and tying Kurenai.
Kurenai looked at Mika with a thoughtful expression under her mask and asked, "So I take it that you can stretch your hair?"
Mika snorted, "I can do more than just stretch my hair." Then raised both her hands and transformed into giant swords.
"Transforming your hands into swords?" muttered Kurenai with a shocked tone, "What kind of Jutsu is this?"
Mika said, "It's my Kekkei Genkai, I can transform my body into anything inanimate." Then pounced on Kurenai.
Genma saw Kurenai in danger and wanted to come over to help her, however, before he could make any move, he noticed that he couldn't move at all, "What the!" Confused, he looked down and noticed countless sealing symbols around him, "Fuinjutsu?!"
Seeing that Genma couldn't move, Shion revealed herself from behind a tree and said, "My Onii-chan has taught me countless Fuinjutsu… try to break one of them, and I will use a stronger one to bind you again, humph, stupid Akatsuki member!"
Seeing that Kurenai and Genma were trapped, Anko licked her lips in excitement as she muttered, "Asuma-san, it seems to me that we are being underestimated!"
"These kids still don't know that things aren't so easy in a Shinobi's life!" muttered Asuma, then he looked in the direction of Yakumo and Mika, and said, "I will free Kurenai."
Anko smirked, and while looking at the haughty Shion, she said, "In that case, I will deal with Kuroto's little sister, as his teammate, I suddenly feel like wanting to educate this cute little thing!"
Both nodded and rushed toward their respective targets.
While dashing toward Shion, Anko raised the cuff of her sleeve and several snakes sprang out of it, and attacked Shion, 'Many Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!'
Seeing the snakes, Shion was scared, and shouted, "Aaaahhhh Snakes…. Hinata-chan do something!"
Just as the snakes were about to approach her, Hinata appeared in front of her, "Don't worry Shion-chan, I have got you!" and used, 'Eight Trigrams Vaccum Palm!' strikes to destroy the heads of all the snakes.
At the same time, Sai, and Shin jumped down from the flying ink birds and attacked Anko with their Swords.
"Hinata-san, please be careful!" muttered Neji to himself, as he looked at Asuma, and said to his teammate, "Kiyomi-san, Lee are you ready?! Lee, you, and I are going to attack that guy, and while we do that, Kiyomi-san you help Sasuke!"
Rock Lee nodded, "Got it Neji-san!"
Kiyomi nodded, "I understand, Neji-kun!"
"Tenten, Shino-san, Sai-san… cover us!" Neji shouted towards Tenten as he and Rock Lee jumped out of bushes and attacked Asuma.
Tenten and Shino nodded and once again used their respective methods to cover Neji and Rock Lee.
Rock Lee came from below and made a low kick which was easily dodged by Asuma by jumping up in the sky, but the moment Asuma jumped up, Neji used 'Eight Trigrams Vaccum Palm!' while in mid-air and attacked Asuma, keeping him busy, and not giving any opportunity to rush forward, in doing this, Rock Lee assisted Neji to the best of his abilities.
And while Rock Lee and Neji kept Asuma busy, Kiyomi came towards Sasuke and helped him get up, "Sasuke-nii-chan… are you all right!?"
"Kiyomi?!" muttered Sasuke, slightly surprised at the sudden turn of events.
As Sasuke had the chance to get up again, Neji jumped to his side, and asked, "Sasuke, you can still fight?!"
Neji's thoughts are extremely clear. He knows that although many students are there to help them out, no one is strong enough. Therefore, the only possible method they can use to stall Akatsuki long enough is when he and Sasuke work together, therefore, Neji questions Sasuke if he can still fight or not.
Before Sasuke could reply, someone appeared on his other side, and said with a chuckle, "The prodigy of the Uchiha clan won't be defeated so easily, right?"
Neji and Sasuke looked at the person, and it turned out to be Mika, the girl from Hinata and Shion's team.
Surprised, both of them looked in the direction of Kurenai and found that Yakumo, Kiba, and Sakura were keeping a watch over her by pointing their Kunai at her.
Mika flicked her fingers to attract Neji and Sasuke's attention back to her, and said, "So what do you two say? Shall we work together to defeat them? Both of you know as well as I do, that we stand a better chance of defeating him if the three of us work together, after all, three of us are the strongest here."
Sasuke and Neji couldn't see the depth of Mika's strength, however, they could feel that she was indeed as strong as she said, so both of them nodded, "Yes… let's defeat them together!"

Outside the Forest of Death
When the audience saw the young children risking their lives to save Uchiha Sasuke from the 'Akatsuki', they all got emotional and cheered for the kid's bravery.
Mikoto said with a smile, "Sasuke has good friends."
Itachi nodded, "Yes… I am happy that Sasuke is able to make good friends, something that I was never able to do while I was in the Academy."
Even the stern Fugaku showed a rare smile. Sasuke overcame his fear and risked his life to save his teammates, and then his friends risked their lives to save Sasuke… this is something that touched Fugaku's heart.
Whether as Sasuke's father or as the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, Fugaku is extremely happy to see such a scene… these actions of innocent and ignorant young children prove that the Uchiha Clan is truly part of the Konoha village.
On the other side, the Hiashi and Hizashi brothers also smiled as they discussed something with helpless expressions on their faces.
Hinata's and Neji's act of putting their companion's lives over their own is something the elders of the Hyuga Clan wouldn't be very happy with and will definitely fuss over, however, here and now, in the presence of so many Konoha villagers, shinobi, and the five Kage, their actions are very honorable, something that earned the respect and support of the entire audience.
Similar to the Uchiha Clan, and the Hyuga Clan, the parents, and guardians of other children also felt proud of the actions of their children. Although they are also very angry that their children did something so dangerous, however, they are also happy and proud of their children and happily boast to the surrounding crowd.
The only ones who weren't smiling and sighing instead were the patriarchs of the Ino-Shika-Cho as they saw their children still limiting themselves to their own territory and not willing to move to other zones.
"Sigh, we can't blame our children… they are doing what the mission required them to do." Muttered Inoichi helplessly.
…
On the Five Kage's side
Admiring the companionship of the young children of Konoha, Yondaime Mizukage praised Sandaime Hokage in a sincere tone, "The education system of Konoha… it's really impressive."
Sandaime chuckled, "Every Konoha shinobi feels the same for his companion, we in Konoha always emphasized the value of companionship, this is the philosophy passed down from the time of Shodaime Hokage-sama." Although he said this with a smile on his face, internally, Sandaime was really glad that the children didn't do anything to embarrass the village's reputation, and thought to himself, 'I guess I have to praise Hyuga Kuroto for the kid's performance.'
"Huh… yet Konoha played the most role in creating the Akatsuki… it's ironic isn't it?" muttered Yondaime Raikage in a sarcastic tone.
Sandaime chose to ignore Raikage's comment and focused on the show before him.
…
Anbu Monitoring Room
At the same time as the assessment was progressing in the Forest of Death, a Konoha Anbu keeping an eye on all the activities in the Forest of Death suddenly pointed at one of the screens and exclaimed, "Kuroto-sama… look there… are those two also part of your plan?"
Feeling everyone's eyes on him, Kuroto shook his head, "No… other than Asuma and the others, I didn't send anyone else… meaning… those two are really."
"Member of Akatsuki Organization!" everyone muttered the bitter truth.
Obito and Zetsu didn't realize that their presence had been noticed by Konoha, the reason being that the camera that captured their presence was hidden inside a beehive. Perhaps, Obito and Zetsu didn't expect that such an inconspicuous place could also hide a surveillance camera so they mistakenly let down their guard and mistakenly allowed Konoha to notice them.
Staring at the two people who are really members of the terrorist organization Akatsuki, Jiraiya couldn't help but tighten his fists, "Damn it… are they targeting Konoha again? Iwagakure suffered not long ago, will it be Konoha's turn this time?"
Tsunade folded her hands under her massive bust, and asked with a thoughtful expression, "The masked one is the one who claims to be Uchiha Madara with the Mangekyou Sharingan that allows him to use Space-Time Jutsu, while the other one is the strange creature that can travel through the earth, right?"
The Anbu on the side nodded, "Yes, Tsunade-sama!"
"Hmm, both of them are very good at mobility… are they here to scout the situation in advance?" muttered Jiraiya doubtfully.
Someone asked from the side, "What if they are here for the Akatsuki member that we captured not long ago?"
Tsunade muttered, "It's possible… if that's their objective then it's bound to fail, that person is already dead." Then added after a pause, "Moreover, if that was their objective, they wouldn't be wasting their time in the Forest of Death."
Jiraiya nodded, "Yes… the fact that they are in the Forest of Death, means they are more interested in something else… and we all know what that is!"
As Tsunade and Jiraiya concluded the purpose of the two Akatsuki members, Kakashi looked at Obito on the screen with a complicated expression.
If not for the possibility of risking the entire Konoha and the shinobi world, Kakashi would have immediately teleported in front of Obito. But right now, they have to worry about the safety of Naruto and Fu.
The sudden appearance of two real members of Akatsuki really threatened all the kids in the Forest of Death, especially Naruto and Fu, so everyone, including Jiraiya, Tsunade, Kakashi, Shisui, Yui, Shizune, Izumi as well as all the Anbu members in the monitoring hall looked at Kuroto.
This entire assessment was planned by Kuroto, he is the person responsible for all the things concerning the assessment, therefore, even Jiraiya, and Tsunade have to consider his opinion. Although they can overrule Kuroto's authority and issue orders considering the emergency situation, however, they chose not to do so immediately, they wanted to listen to Kuroto's opinion on the matter. Who knows, there is always a possibility that Kuroto may provide a good solution that will help them resolve the situation with the least losses.
Under everyone's gaze, Kuroto looked at Obito and Zetsu on the monitor with a thoughtful expression, 'Obito and Zetsu? What the hell are these two doing in the Forest of Death at such a critical time?'
