Chapitre 9: Chapter 9: Illusion Expert (Gold )
Sasuke looked at the senior ninja, Kurenai Yuhi. The system displayed her attributes.
[Entries: Illusion Expert (Gold ☆), Top Beauty (Gold ☆, Female Only), Careful (Purple ★), Hand Seal Master (Purple ☆)]
[Illusion Expert (Gold ☆): Increases illusion power by 40% and illusion resistance by 30%, with a high probability of immunity to C-level illusions.]
Immune to illusions and increased resistance—simply put, strong!
[Hand Seal Master (Purple ☆): Increases hand seal speed by 15%, allows for simplified hand seals to release ninjutsu, though power is reduced by 30% when simplified.]
This has great versatility. Although simplifying hand seals reduces power, it can save lives in critical moments.
As for the limited gold entries...
[Top Beauty (Gold ☆, Female Only): Every frown and smile is stunning, automatically reducing the opponent's attributes by 10% and all resistances by 15% during battle.]
A super-strong auxiliary entry, very suitable for Kurenai Yuhi.
Kakashi explained, "The rules of the duel are as follows: one party uses an illusion to attack, the other defends. If the defending party can successfully break the illusion, they win; otherwise, they lose."
"Kurenai, Sasuke, who will attack and who will defend?"
Sasuke thought for a moment, "I will defend."
Kakashi secretly admired the choice; it was the right one. Sasuke didn't have powerful illusion techniques yet, so attacking wouldn't be effective. However, using the Sharingan to defend gave him a greater chance of winning.
Kurenai smiled approvingly, "Then, I will attack!"
Sasuke nodded, activating his Sharingan and focusing on Kurenai. She smiled slightly and quickly formed hand seals.
Xu-Si-Shen-Chou-Yin...
Sasuke's eyes narrowed. So fast! Fortunately, he had the Sharingan; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to see her seals.
Kiba cheered for his teacher. Sakura was captivated by Kurenai's beauty.
"Kurenai-sensei is so beautiful..."
Naruto said clumsily, "Sakura, you're not inferior to Kurenai-sensei, just a little... two, three, four, a bit less than Kurenai-sensei."
Sakura blushed instantly, "Idiot Naruto!"
Kakashi hushed them, "Shh, watch the duel!"
Everyone turned their attention to the match.
Kurenai finished her seals, "Genjutsu: Tree Binding Death!"
As soon as she spoke, Kurenai vanished, and a large tree emerged from beneath Sasuke, binding him tightly.
Kakashi was a bit surprised, "Oh, I didn't expect Kurenai to use her ultimate move right away!"
Sakura exclaimed, "Wood Style? Does Kurenai-sensei know Wood Style?"
Kakashi smiled, "It's not Wood Style; it's an illusion. It's said that Tree Binding Death was created during the First Hokage's time to exploit the enemy's fear of Wood Style and create an opportunity to win."
Sakura sighed in relief, "The First Hokage has long passed, and Wood Style has disappeared. In that case, Tree Binding Death isn't scary at all."
Kakashi shook his head, "Except for some bloodline limits, the power of Tree Binding Death ranks among the best in illusions. Even I wouldn't underestimate it."
Sakura was nervous, "Sasuke should be able to break it; he has the Sharingan!"
Kiba was smug, "Sasuke is just showing off. I don't believe he can use the Sharingan effectively!"
Sasuke felt the branches binding him tightly, unable to move. Suddenly, Kurenai appeared from the tree trunk.
"Sasuke, with your current strength, you can't break Tree Binding Death. Admit defeat."
Sasuke took a deep breath and clenched his fist. Admit defeat? Absolutely not!
If he couldn't compete with this level of illusion, how could he face Itachi's Tsukuyomi in the future? Since he couldn't break Tree Binding Death now, he just needed to break through his limits!
Sasuke gritted his teeth, and his fighting spirit erupted like a volcano. Swish, swish, swish—the Sharingan was influenced by Sasuke's tenacious will, and the tomoe in his pupils spun rapidly. Almost simultaneously, Sasuke's momentum soared, and the Sharingan emitted a terrifying blood-red light.
[Ding, the host's unyielding spirit prompts the Sharingan entry to upgrade.]
[Ding, Three Tomoe Sharingan (Purple ★★★) → Three Tomoe Sharingan (Gold ★☆☆)]
What, the Sharingan upgraded to a gold entry?
[Ding, Sharingan upgrade, automatically obtains new entries: Genjutsu: Jagged Hang Jutsu (Purple ★★★), Genjutsu: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change (Purple ★★)]
[Genjutsu: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change (Purple ★★): Use the Sharingan to see through illusions and reflect them back to the caster. The higher the ocular power, the more illusions can be reflected.]
As soon as the voice fell, Sasuke felt his ocular power surge, almost doubling! He saw the flaw in Tree Binding Death at a glance.
Kakashi's eyes widened, "What?"
Sakura felt a chill and hugged herself to keep warm. Kurenai was frightened, looking at Sasuke's blood-red Sharingan, an indescribable fear enveloping her!
Sasuke smirked, "I've seen through all your techniques. Watch out, Genjutsu: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change!"
Kurenai sensed something was wrong, but before she could react, she was bound by the rebounding Tree Binding Death.
Everyone was shocked. Kurenai smiled bitterly, "I lost."
Sakura jumped with joy, "Yeah, Sasuke won!"
Kiba looked like he'd seen a ghost, "How could this happen?"
Naruto clenched his fists, "Damn it, Sasuke's gotten stronger again!"
Kakashi watched intently, realizing Sasuke had developed a new technique during the battle. What an amazing talent! Also, Sasuke's Sharingan seemed to have undergone some wonderful changes.
After the illusion competition ended, Kiba approached Sasuke, "Before, I always disliked you and thought you were just showing off. Until today, I know that you... are qualified to show off!"
Shino nodded in agreement coolly.
A drop of cold sweat appeared on Sasuke's forehead. In fact, he never intended to be cool; he just didn't want to experience the pain of loss again, so he always spoke coldly to avoid others...
At this time, Naruto came over and declared a challenge, "Sasuke, don't be complacent. I'll catch up with you soon!"
Sakura was annoyed, "Naruto, you should learn to climb trees first."
The group bantered for a while, and their relationships quickly warmed.
Naruto practiced tree climbing with high morale. Sakura followed Kakashi to study illusions. Sasuke sat cross-legged, counting his gains with a smile.
[Ding, defeat Kurenai Yuhi, reward entry: Illusion Expert (Gold ☆), do you want to merge?]
No need to ask, merge immediately!
Now, Sasuke's ninjutsu and illusions were formidable, with only taijutsu as a shortcoming. However, with the Sharingan, as long as the opponent's speed wasn't outrageous, he had plenty of ways to win!
Half a month passed in a flash. Sasuke's reputation as a genius spread, and many Konoha Genin regarded him as a strong rival. However, Sasuke didn't care. During this period, he trained hard, mastering ninjutsu and illusions to perfection.
There was also an unexpected surprise: his chakra increased to the 5th level of Jonin, and his physical fitness improved significantly. Sasuke guessed these changes might be related to the Incomplete Sage Body, but it couldn't be verified yet.
As for Naruto and Sakura, both made great progress. Naruto learned to walk on water and use multiple shadow clones with ease. Sakura learned several illusions, and with her current strength, she could handle ordinary Genin.
Soon, the Chunin Exam was just around the corner. Many Genin from various ninja villages arrived in Konoha, including Gaara and his team from the Sand Village.
On this day, Sasuke and his friends planned to go to the registration office to sign up for the Chunin Exam. After all, the Chunin Exam was a great opportunity to gain new entries, and Sasuke didn't want to miss it.
Who knew that Naruto would have a conflict with Kankuro halfway...
