章 11: 11 Knocked Out
"Come on we don't have whole day" said Shinku to them as he stood in the circle with a relaxed expression on his face.
"What should we do now Kozuki" asked Kurenai as she wasn't a fool to believe that she could defeat her father.
"No need to worry, just leave it to me" said Kozuki to the two of them as he walked towards Shinku
"Too reckless" thought Shinku looking at the Kozuki walking towards him without any plan or teamwork.
Standing at a distance of 10 meters from Shinku, Kozuki looked towards him and said.
"Sensei If I defeat you alone, would my teammates pass as well" asked Kozuki as he wanted to confirm it before fighting him.
"Of course but since you have decided to fight me alone if you lose they will fail as well" said Shinku as he looked towards Kurenai and Shizune.
"I believe in Kozuki, but if he loses we will go back to the Academy" said Kurenai as she looked at Shizune beside her waiting for her answer.
"Yes, I believe in him" told Shizune though she hasn't been together with Kozuki for long but he had a unique aura of confidence around making her want believe in him.
"There trust for each other is praiseworthy" thought Shinku after hearing the choice of both girls as a light of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
"Very well then, I hope you won't regret it later* said Shinku as a serious expression appeared on his face ready for the battle.
"Here I go" said Kozuki
Boom…
Putting force under his feet, Kozuki disappeared and the ground beneath cracked as he appeared in front of Shinku instantly.
"So fast" Shinku was horrified by Kozuki speed as he brought the sword at his back in front of him with difficulty.
Boom…
Kozuki's fist struck the horizontal sword as fierce wind pressure spread around by the impact and the feet of Shinku inside the circle drilled deep underground.
"What monstrous strength" thought Shinku who blocked Kozuki punch seeing some cracks on the sword obviously caused by his fist.
"Sensei, try to stop the next one" said Kozuki who had a grin on his face.
Kozuki only applied one third of his strength in the punch earlier but even that was too much for a Ninja's weak build.
"Can't let him attack anymore" thought Shinku as he knew another attack of that level would completely destroy the ground beneath abolishing the circle as well.
Whoosh....
Kozuki once more paced towards Shinku and in an instant he was already a few steps away from him.
Shinku with quick movements of his hands folded several seals instantly.
"Huh" Kozuki who was about to deliver another punch stopped suddenly as he saw Shinku in front of him disappearing.
Kozuki found himself bound to a tree with its branches enclosing on him.
"This is... Genjutsu" Kozuki understood it immediately.
From the tree behind, Shinku came out as the Kunai in his hands moved towards Kozuki neck.

"What Happened" asked Shizune as she saw Kozuki suddenly stood motionless in front of Sensei.
"That's my father's Genjutsu" told Kurenai her face showing a worried expression.
"Then would Kozuki lose?" asked Shizune anxiously.
"We have to believe in Kozuki he'll never lose" said Kurenai cheering the nervous Shizune as both of them looked towards the battle.

Inside the Genjutsu Space,
"It's over" said Shinku as the Kunai in his hands was near Kozuki's neck.
"Sensei you shouldn't look down on others" Shinku suddenly perceived a voice behind him as he saw Kozuki standing behind with a carefree expression.
"How did you..." Shinku words were cut in half as his vision became black, as he fell down.
"Observation Haki is simply the nemesis of Illusion" thought Kozuki looking at the knocked out Shinku in front of him.
Kozuki's Observation Haki could easily cover an area of around 1000 meters and one of the use of Observation Haki is to sense a person's aura.
With this ability, Kozuki easily found Shinku's location knocking him out who was caught unprepared.
But Kozuki didn't break his illusion, he simply found the real Shinku who was under the thought that Kozuki was caught in his Genjutsu.
If he had dispelled his Genjutsu, Shinku would have noticed it but using Observation Haki he caught him unprepared knocking him out.
Kurenai and Shizune who were watching the fight suddenly saw Kozuki who was under the Genjutsu, disappeared from his place and instantly arrived behind Sensei, who the next moment fell down motionless on the ground.
Kurenai and Shizune immediately arrive near Kozuki who stood beside the knocked out Shinku.
"Are you all right Kozuki?" said Kurenai to Kozuki.
Kozuki was speechless at her love for her father, because rather then checking her father she was concerned for him.
Knocking on her head, Kozuki said "Aren't you worried for your father"
"Oops" Kurenai finally remembered as she sat beside her father trying to wake him up.
"You are Amazing Kozuki, you defeated Sensei" Shizune looked at Kozuki with stars in her eyes.
"I didn't do much it's just Sensei who underestimated me, if I fight him again I might not win" said Kozuki being humble.
_____________
After placing the passed out Shinku under a tree, the three of them sat aside as Kozuki told a few jokes making the little girls laugh.
