Chapter 33 Team Formation Welcome Gift
Chapter 33 Team Formation Welcome Gift
Unfortunately not.
As Hiruzen Sarutobi's son, he knew very well that the most important aspect of Konoha's assessment system was teamwork.
If he excludes Shenyue Nebula when making his plans, it will inevitably affect his evaluation.
Sarutobi Asuma frowned and said, "I was wondering what role you could play. Medical ninjutsu isn't very useful in a battle like this."
His tone was rather disdainful.
Shenyue Xingyun reminded him, "My physical skills are also quite good."
Sarutobi Asuma snorted lightly, clearly not agreeing. Defeating someone like Mizuki was simply not convincing.
"Never mind, let me think... like this..."
A few minutes later.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
In the training ground, Shingetsu Seiun, wielding a kunai, fought against Uchiha Mikoto. He had been instructed by Sarutobi Asuma to attack first. Asuma had said that since his taijutsu was decent, he should strike first and draw attention to himself.
In other words, cannon fodder.
The fists and feet made a resounding sound in the air, and sparks flew as the kunai collided.
During the exchange, a hint of surprise flashed in Uchiha Mikoto's eyes.
Surprisingly excellent!
Her punches and kicks were precise and powerful, and her reactions were especially quick. Several times she thought the fight was over, but her opponent was able to dodge. This level of taijutsu was almost beyond the level of an average genin. Was this a bottom-tier fighter?
The information the school gave her didn't say that!
She felt completely at ease, while Shenyue Xingyun was under immense pressure. Although her opponent was a woman, she couldn't gain the slightest advantage in their fight.
His opponent was slightly taller than him, with a slender build. His attacks, including punches, kicks, and kunai, were sharp and precise, characteristic of Uchiha taijutsu.
Finally, Uchiha Mikoto roughly figured out Shingetsu Seiun's strength. Sensing the subtle movements coming from not far away, she suddenly exerted her strength.
"Bang!"
Accompanied by a faint, sweet fragrance, a slender, white hand was placed on her chest. Power surged forth, and Shen Yue Xingyun's figure was instantly thrown backward.
"Swish swish~"
The shuriken shot out!
Sarutobi Asuma, wielding twin blades, launched a surprise attack from the side.
"Ninja Art: Illusionary Light Technique!" Kurenai Yuhi seized the opportunity, forming hand seals to cast a genjutsu, attempting to confuse Mikoto Uchiha's vision.
Faced with this low-level illusion technique, Uchiha Mikoto merely glanced at it.
With a flash of crimson light, the illusion was broken before it could even take effect.
With a flick of his wrist, several streaks of dark light shot towards Kurenai's limbs.
"Clang clang clang!!!" Shen Yue Xingyun, who had just been defeated, suddenly appeared from the side and blocked the shuriken that was not very fast for the opponent.
Then his figure rushed up again!
Even knowing that the other side was holding back, the taijutsu level of the Jonin was still far inferior to theirs.
It was only through the system's enhancement of his physical reflexes that he was able to barely function in such a battle.
A few minutes later, the battle ended.
Unsurprisingly, they were defeated; the three of them didn't even pose a threat to Uchiha Mikoto.
Mikoto Uchiha looked at the three panting heavily, her expression showing satisfaction.
"You three are not bad."
"Not bad?" Kurenai Yuhi said, "Mikoto-sensei, we clearly lost so badly."
Mikoto Uchiha chuckled lightly, "Isn't it normal to lose?"
"What matters is not winning or losing, but your teamwork in battle."
"Although the tactics were mediocre, at least the three of them were cooperating with each other in the fight."
"Nebula, your reaction speed is excellent, and your timing in rescuing your teammates and attacking in battle is also good."
Shenyue Xingyun nodded.
"Red's timing in casting illusions was also perfect, and she knew her own strengths and didn't blindly approach the center of the battle, thus burdening her teammates."
"Asuma..."
Sarutobi Asuma's expression held a hint of anticipation, waiting for the other party's encouraging comments.
"I have to criticize you."
Sarutobi Asuma: ?
Why do they both get praise, but I get criticized when it's my turn?
I was the one who put in the most effort!
Mikoto Uchiha could also see that the other party was not convinced, and said.
Do you know why I criticized you?
"First of all, your tactics are very simplistic; as a captain, this won't do!"
"Nebula's attack power and timing are no worse than yours. You two could have worked together, but you didn't bring out the full potential of your teammate."
"Also, you were too eager to show off in the battle. Although you are the strongest, you need to find the right opportunity when facing a powerful opponent, which you failed to do."
"Your attention was focused on Red the whole time, and you didn't unleash your full power. And you were distracted when Nebula blocked Red's way in danger."
"This should never happen in a ninja battle!"
Sarutobi Asuma was still unconvinced, but didn't know how to refute it.
Mikoto Uchiha is right.
During the battle, he was constantly distracted, always ready to take care of Kurenai.
However, when the real danger appeared, he was too far away, and it was Shenyue Xingyun who made the move. This made his thoughts even more chaotic, and his actions became flawed.
If Uchiha Mikoto was an enemy, he is already dead.
At this moment, Kurenai asked timidly, "Teacher, did we pass?"
Upon hearing this, Mikoto Uchiha smiled at Kurenai Yuhi, and for a moment, the scenery in the forest seemed to brighten up considerably.
"certainly."
Mikoto Uchiha said, "After all, this is your first day as a team, so it's normal that you're not familiar with each other yet."
"Also, this is the gift I promised you, remember not to tell anyone else."
Amidst the expectant gazes of the group, Uchiha Mikoto handed three small scrolls to the three of them one by one.
The group quickly accepted it.
Looking at the scroll in his hand, Shingetsu Seiun recalled memories.
Whether it's memories from a past life or understanding from this life, there doesn't seem to be a saying that a team leader would immediately teach ninjutsu.
Some ninja leaders even failed to teach their teams a single move after the teams disbanded.
So... he turned to look at Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi.
Is it a political tactic?
The wife of the Uchiha clan chief and the son of the Sarutobi family seems quite reasonable.
He looked at the scroll in the other person's hand, which had a few words marked on it.
"Melee Combat Essentials and Short Blade Control" - Well, it's tailor-made for you.
Let's take another look at the crimson sunset.
Illusion - Moon Shadow
At first glance, Shenyue Xingyun was startled, thinking it was Tsukuyomi, but upon closer inspection, she realized it was Yueying. Yes, it was also provided based on the other party's abilities.
Look at yourself again.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique
After briefly reflecting on the difference, he calmed down. No one owed him anything; it was a free gift, and having it was better than having nothing.
"Thank you, Ms. Mikoto," said Shinzuki Seiun, carefully putting away the scroll.
Seeing that the others had packed up the scrolls, Uchiha Mikoto said, "That's all for today."
"Do you want to do a mission or train tomorrow?"
