First Exam: Impure World Reincarnation

"Squeak!!"

The sound of the coffin being opened was jarring; the two coffin lids slammed onto the ground with a 'thud,' and a chilling, bone-deep aura suddenly spread out.

Shuyuan's Shadow Clone stepped back a few paces, not rushing forward rashly.

Naruto's Shadow Clone, however, were incredibly fierce, charging into the Chakra smoke like wolves and tigers.

The banging sounds were like firecrackers.

The Shadow Clone that rushed in were all motionless; they had all been destroyed.

The wind was strong on the mountain, Chakra smoke quickly dissipated, revealing two hunched figures.

A mask covering most of his face, the kind with a respirator, a slightly worn and tattered cold gray vest, strange cracks on his face, lifeless eyes, and unfathomably deep black pupils, with a Rain Ninja Forehead Protector on his forehead.

Two Rain Ninja, one wielding a scythe, the other Wakizashi.

Driven by instinct, the two eliminated Naruto's charging clone.

"Consider these two small fry a greeting gift. Let me see what you're capable of," Senju Zen said politely, not even glancing at the Shadow Clone that circled around from both sides. He simply raised his hand, and the two Rain Ninja immediately sprang into action.

Very fast!

Ruthless!

Unafraid of getting hurt!

This is a message from the destroyed Shadow Clone.

Caught off guard, Shuyuan and Naruto's Shadow Clone were knocked down in droves. The snow-white scythes bypassed the Kunai at a tricky angle, flashing across the Shadow Clone's necks before a cloud of Chakra smoke quickly dissipated in the mountain wind.

This strange weapon unleashed incredible power. The Shadow Clone were quite unaccustomed to this bizarre weapon, and the two Rain Ninja were completely unafraid of injury.

It took about forty seconds.

All the Shadow Clone were destroyed. Of course, the ones that were close to Senju Zen and Uchiha Genso quietly dissipated under the Sharingan's Genjutsu.

The memories before disappearing were also sent back to the original person's brain.

"Hmm!"

"Cough cough!"

Shuyuan and Naruto, who were running along the road, both groaned in unison, feeling as if they had been punched in the nose. The jumbled memories in their minds gave them a headache.

"Damn Genjutsu."

Shuyuan cursed and stopped walking.

Naruto was already kneeling on the ground, rubbing his dizzy head.

The mental impact of the Genjutsu on the clone also reflected on the body, causing dizziness from fragmented images and making it impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion.

"Shuyuan, Naruto, are you alright?"

Sasuke, realizing the two were missing, turned back.

After eliminating the Shadow Clone, two Rain Ninja quickly caught up.

"Hateful!"

Sasuke cursed, drew his katana from his waist, and, dragging the sword, faced the charging Rain Ninja. His Sharingan with Futatsudomoe spun rapidly as he observed the movements of the two Rain Ninja with all his might.

"Be careful, they're not afraid of getting hurt, their fighting style is insane, they're willing to die together..."

Shuyuan pinched her forehead hard, still trying to clear the Genjutsu's effects on her.

After hearing Shuyuan's words, Sasuke took a deep breath and steadily stepped forward.

"Clang!!"

Blades clashed, sparks flying.

Sasuke's sword blocked the curved scythe that the Rain Ninja at the front was swinging down at an angle.

Immediately following was a series of clanging sounds of metal clashing, the flashing of swords resembling blooming flowers.

Sasuke two opponents alone, barely managing to block the attacks of two Jonin thanks to the dynamic vision of his Sharingan.

"No wonder he's the genius of the family!"

In the distance, Senju Zen and Uchiha Genso slowly walked over, as if taking a stroll, watching Sasuke fight against the reincarnated Rain Ninja.

Uchiha Genso was holding a leg of lamb, his cheeks bulging out like Toad.

"The movements are still a bit stiff, lacking intelligence, and only acting on instinct... Hmm, there's still room for improvement!"

Senju Zen seemed to be conducting research, judging every move of the Rain Ninja.

"······Huff huff······Huff······"

Sasuke was breathing heavily, his chest heaving dramatically; those short half-minute moments had been an incredibly agonizing struggle.

Even though they had lost their intelligence, the two battle- Jonin Rain Ninja from Rain Village still displayed formidable combat power thanks to their physical instincts and their fearlessness in the face of injury and death.

The fact that Sasuke could hold out for half a minute is enough to demonstrate his strength.

"Earth Release: Mud Swamp Technique"

In an instant, the hard rock beneath the feet of the two Rain Ninja turned into mud, sinking their legs into it.

The change in his footing affected the Rain Ninja's movement, and their fierce and sharp attacks suddenly froze. Sasuke did not miss the opportunity. He quickly jumped back, his katana clattering to the ground. He interlaced his fingers and began to Hand Seals.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique"

The Kakkō, and the huge fireball rolled over like a bulldozer, crashing into the Rain Ninja. The fireball began to expand, and the heat reflected the light, causing the surrounding scenery to be slightly deformed and distorted.

The scorching heat dried up the mud, burning it to ashes along with the Rain Ninja.

"Phew!! Is that all?"

Sasuke a long sigh of relief, muttered something to himself, and bent down to pick up his katana.

"We haven't started playing yet, you kids!"

Uchiha Genso waved his half-eaten, pitted lamb leg and looked at them with a grin.

Sasuke's heart tightened again as he stared at Senju Zen and Uchiha Genso, thinking that these two were the next ones he would have to deal with.

"Sasuke, watch out!"

"Clang!"

The katana hovered above Sasuke's head, cold sweat beading on his forehead. Sasuke swallowed hard, looking at Naruto standing in front of him, who had blocked the katana with Kunai.

Then, they saw the Rain Ninja who should have been engulfed by flames and turned into dust Rain Ninja holding the katana only had the right half of his body left. The left half, like shredded paper, was filled with dust that danced and gathered towards the broken wound, gradually filling it up. His body grew back like that.

As for the other Rain Ninja wielding a scythe, only his lower body, reaching his waist, remains. His body is also recovering amidst the gathering dust.

"Sasuke, what are you doing? Let's attack together!"

Naruto yelled, Kunai was more effective at defending than attacking against a long weapon like the katana, Shuriken stuck in the Rain Ninja's chest had no effect.

Shuriken are ineffective, Naruto's signature punches will certainly not be very effective either.

Just by looking at the memories transmitted back by the Shadow Clone, we can tell that Naruto is very talented in battle.

"Puff!!"

Sasuke snapped out of his daze and, almost instinctively, swung his katana fiercely at the Rain Ninja 'Rain Ninja neck, decapitating him with his full force.

The dull, hoarse sound was like chopping down a piece of rotten wood.

The head spun in the air, but before it could land, it turned into a cloud of dust and flew backwards towards Rain Ninja's bald neck.

"Naruto, Sasuke, step back first."

Shuyuan's voice came from behind. The two looked at Rain Ninja, who was recovering, hesitated for a moment, and then chose to retreat to Shuyuan's side.

The three people stared at the two Rain Ninja, while Senju Zen and Uchiha Genso watched coldly from a distance.

The pressure is immense! (To be continued)
