The Exam Ends
Yemo didn't look closely at the ninjas chasing them, so he didn't realize that Yūhi Shinku was also one of them.
Yūhi Shinku is Elite Jonin Genjutsu. Her powerful Genjutsu is arguably the strongest in Konoha. Logically speaking, a powerhouse of this caliber shouldn't appear in the Chunin Ninja Exams, even though this year 'Chunin Ninja Exams are filled with outstanding individuals from various villages.
The strength of Elite Jonin is terrifying. Even Yemo is no match for Elite Jonin. Among all the Genin who participated in the Chunin Ninja Exams, not one is a match for Elite Jonin.
"As an instructor for Genin and Chunin, it shouldn't be too difficult for me to appear during the Chunin Ninja Exams," Yūhi Shinku with a calm smile, giving off a very peaceful vibe.
Upon hearing this, Yemo's face immediately fell, and he said with a wry smile, "That's what you say, but you should be in charge from the rear. With your strength, how could you possibly be a match for us when you're chasing us?"
Yemo was incredibly frustrated. How could he be so unlucky as to run into Yūhi Shinku? If he were caught by Yūhi Shinku and eliminated in the Chunin Ninja Exams, he would lose face big time.
Yūhi Shinku said, "Saying things like that isn't the style of Konoha genius. You're the youngest ninja Jonin Konoha to kill a Jonin, and you've killed three Jonin, one of whom had Kekkei Genkai. I've heard a lot about your name, Yemo Uzumaki."
"I'm also a Jonin. Don't be so insecure. Maybe I'm not even your match."
Yemo thought to himself, "How can these be the same? The Jonin I killed was Special Jōnin, and the Jonin with the Kekkei Genkai was also killed by me and Kakashi together."
"This is different, Shinku. You are Elite Jonin, while I killed Special Jōnin. There is a huge difference between the two," Yemo said with a bitter and helpless expression. He was just too unlucky. There were twelve people in the pursuit team, and he just happened to run into the strongest one of them.
Shinku slowly raised her hand and said, "Let's begin. Although you are Konoha Ninja, as the examiner, I cannot show favoritism. Make your move; you can only pass the first exam by defeating me!"
There's no other way but to fight. The entire exam will definitely be monitored. Even if Shinku wanted to show favoritism, she couldn't. Besides, Yūhi Shinku isn't the kind of person to cheat. Yemo has no other choice but to fight.
Taking a deep breath, Yemo's gaze sharpened instantly, and he said slowly, "In that case, Lord Shinku, please forgive me!"
The moment the voice rang out, Yemo quickly retreated, widening the distance between himself and Yūhi Shinku. Yūhi Shinku was currently the most powerful Genjutsu master in Konoha, capable of casting Genjutsu without her opponent noticing. Just now, Yemo didn't even know what was happening before he was instantly trapped in an illusion. If Yemo hadn't had good senses and realized that something was wrong, he probably wouldn't have noticed yet and would still be running inside the Genjutsu.
On the way to retreat, Ye Mo quickly formed seals with his hands, Si-Wei-Shen-Hai-Wu-Yin. After completing the Nin Seal, he shouted in a low voice, "Fire Escape. The powerful fire ball technique!"
After saying that, Yemo put two fingers together to his lips, took a deep breath, and the next second, he spewed out a large amount of flames from his mouth, which gathered into a huge fireball that attacked Yūhi Shinku.
The fireball appeared to be enormous and moved at great speed. The raging flames emitted light and heat, carrying the power to destroy everything.
Facing the incoming fireball, Yūhi Shinku; she stood there calmly, as if she didn't even see the fireball.
Then, to Yemo's astonishment, the fireball actually pierced through Yūhi Shinku's body and struck the uncle behind her. With a loud bang, the fireball exploded, and burning flames gushed out, the orange-yellow Kakkō illuminating Yemo's surprised face.
"Genjutsu!"
He had fallen under the Genjutsu again. After breaking the initial Genjutsu, Yemo's gaze had never left Yūhi Shinku. Even so, he had unknowingly fallen under the Genjutsu again. The title of Konoha's strongest Genjutsu ninja was indeed well-deserved.
As Yūhi Shinku's body slowly twisted and dissipated into the void, almost the instant Yūhi Shinku vanished, Yemo leaped away from where he had been standing.
Due to the Genjutsu, Yemo has lost sight of Yūhi Shinku. However, since this is a battle, and the opponent's target is clearly him, he cannot remain in the same spot he was standing in no way.
Using the same method, Yemo first paused the flow of Chakra, then unleashed a powerful Chakra, disrupting the opponent's control over his mental neural Chakra.
"Break!"
The illusory scene he saw vanished in a distortion, and his five senses returned instantly. Yemo looked up and saw that in the void before him, the Yūhi Shinku held a Kunai and was approaching him.
Yemo swiftly pulled a Kunai from his ninja pouch at his waist, gripped Kunai, and thrust it straight at the approaching Yūhi Shinku. Yūhi Shinku dodged Yemo's attack by turning her head to the side, and raised her right hand, Kunai, to stab at Yemo's arm.
Seeing Yūhi Shinku's attack, Yemo quickly raised his left foot and kicked Yūhi Shinku 'Yūhi Shinku arm, sending her right arm flying high into the air.
With her right hand kicked up, Yūhi Shinku Kunai the opportunity to turn around and swing her kunai diagonally towards Yemo's abdomen. Yemo took two steps back, shrinking her stomach and narrowly dodging the Kunai.
The two were locked in a fierce battle, their fists and feet clashing, their sharp Kunai colliding in the air, producing a clanging sound of metal striking metal, Kakkō flashing continuously.
As expected of Elite Jonin, Yūhi Shinku was not weak in taijutsu, even though she mainly Taijutsu Genjutsu. For a time, Yemo was unable to gain the upper hand against Yūhi Shinku and even fell slightly into a disadvantageous position.
The two engaged in close combat. Yemo had no time to use Ninjutsu, and Yūhi Shinku had no time to use Genjutsu, relying solely on Taijutsu to fight.
Their fists collided with a loud bang, unleashing a violent collision. A visible shockwave erupted from their fists, sending Yemo and Yūhi Shinku flying several steps. The shockwave spread out in circles in all directions, sweeping through the area like a hurricane, snapping small trees as thick as bowls in half.
Yemo retreated six steps before stopping, while Yūhi Shinku only retreated four steps. It was obvious who was stronger.
With his fist outstretched, Ye Mo's right hand, which had been clashing with Ye Mo's, was covered in blood, a bloody mess. He had suffered a significant loss from the Yemo.
However, thanks to Yemo's abnormal regenerative abilities, the bleeding wounds healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The bleeding stopped, the wounds healed, and the skin grew back quickly.
Ignoring the wound on the back of his right hand, Yemo steadied himself and instantly Hand Seals, unleashing a powerful surge of Chakra.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Dragon Bullet!"
With a soft shout, Yemo was about to launch an attack when suddenly a loud noise rang out from the sky.
"Exam over! All participating Genin and examiners, please stop!"
A ninja used Chakra to amplify his voice a hundredfold, and everyone in the dense forest, whether it was the participants running ahead or the Chunin and Jonin hunting behind, heard this.
"Exam over! All participating Genin and examiners, please stop!"
"Exam over! All participating Genin and examiners, please stop!"
The words were shouted three times. Yemo was stunned for a moment. Following the echoing words in the sky, he released his hands from the Hand Seals, and the Chakra he had been gathering slowly dissipated. On the other side, Yūhi Shinku also dissipated and was about to unleash her Ninjutsu.
"It seems the twenty-sixth Genin has been eliminated," Yūhi Shinku said calmly as she looked up at the words echoing in the air.
Upon hearing this, Yemo smiled slightly and said, "It seems I was quite lucky; I almost became the twenty-sixth Genin."
Hearing what Yemo said, Yūhi Shinku withdrew her gaze and looked at Yemo, saying, "This isn't luck, it's your strength. If you weren't strong enough, you wouldn't have made it to the last genin to Genin eliminated."
Yemo said, "I have to thank you, Lord Shinku, for this..."
Before Yemo could finish speaking, Yūhi Shinku Yemo him, saying, "Hey, I wasn't holding back. Your strength is indeed very strong; no wonder you're a genius capable of killing Jonin."
Yemo smiled slightly and said nothing more. Their eyes met, and a smile also flashed across Yūhi Shinku's face.
