The battle is over.
Covering his face, Kurama Jun slumped to the ground, dumbfounded.
He couldn't understand what kind of power could still attack him even when all five senses were stripped away.
"Perception." Kyosuke raised his palm, attempting to manipulate Natural Energy.
Bang! A small crater appeared in the ground. The force wasn't very strong, but it was enough to deal with Kurama Jun.
"A ninja's senses do not rely solely on their eyes and ears."
Those similar to the Senju and the Uzumaki generally possess exceptional sensory abilities.
The stronger one is, the more accurate one's perception becomes. Chakra can be considered a ninja's "sixth sense."
Genjutsu that seals off the five senses is indeed powerful, but it's not invincible.
"Not convinced?" Looking at the little guy's tense face, Kyosuke shook his head and chuckled, thinking to himself that if he didn't completely subdue them today, they would be really hard to manage in the future.
Releasing his control over Natural Energy, Kyosuke spread his hands and said calmly, "Come on, try your Genjutsu again."
"... Alright." Kurama Jun didn't say much, but drew his long sword and slashed it fiercely in the air.
Even an ordinary person swinging a stick can create a considerable whooshing sound in the air, let alone a powerful ninja.
He used a knife as a pen and the air as a canvas to depict his own Eternal Night Kingdom.
The familiar darkness descended. This time, Kyosuke did not use Natural Energy; he simply activated his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
In an instant, a scarlet light burst forth, and a blood moon seemed to appear in the sky, the ominous light gradually dispelling the darkness.
"Ugh." The Genjutsu shattered, Kurama Jun clutched his head, enduring the tearing pain.
His pain was only relieved after the teacher cast a suggestive Genjutsu.
"Impossible, how could my Genjutsu world..." He couldn't believe it.
The Kurama Family has a long and distinguished history, and it has never been heard of anyone being able to shatter the Genjutsu world from within.
Theoretically, it is indeed possible, but that would require an immense and terrifying mental force.
"So that's how it is. This is the power of the God of Shinobi." Kurama Jun finally realized.
Seeing that he had finally come to his senses, Kyosuke explained, "At the lower to mid-level stages of a ninja's skill, Genjutsu possesses terrifying dominance. In a one-on-one fight, falling for it is basically a defeat."
"Once your strength reaches the Super Kage Level, you will be less affected by Genjutsu."
"Your abilities are very strong, but remember, you must not rely too much on the so-called Genjutsu world."
"It can make you win 99 battles with ease, but that one defeat could very well cost you your life."
Kyosuke's words were no exaggeration. Even without using the Sharingan's power, his current full-force Chakra release could instantly shatter Jun's Genjutsu world.
To trap him, the disciple's Chakra would need to be at least close to the Super Kage Advanced Tier.
"... I understand, thank you, teacher." Kurama Jun nodded, realizing for the first time how vast the ninja world was.
Even with the ability to deprive someone of their five senses, they can still encounter powerful opponents they have no way to deal with.
In fact, the bloodline of the Kurama Clan is not as bad as imagined.
Against weaker ninjas, Kurama Jun possessed an almost invincible killing power.
Once trapped in Genjutsu world, very few people can break free. As for Chakra perception, it is not enough to guarantee a counterattack.
Kyosuke said this because he didn't want his disciple to become arrogant.
Just as he said, if they encounter a ninja who can break his defenses, the fatality rate in battle will instantly skyrocket.
Therefore, Kurama Jun had to train diligently on a regular basis, unlike the ninjas of Yamanaka and Nara, who would become useless and a burden if they lost their Secret Technique.
In their first battle to steal the bell, the three little ones suffered a crushing defeat.
After much painful reflection, the three decided to cooperate as a team. Yuto would take the lead, Jun would use Genjutsu magic to assist him, and Eri would take the opportunity to complete the task of touching the bell.
The second battle to seize the bell was much better than before. With the help of Kurama Jun, the two of them almost touched the Silver Bell several times.
"Not enough effort."
"You guys are too weak."
"Let's vote."
"The Ninja Academy even has a course on 'eating without working'?!"
In this battle, the three students not only witnessed their teacher's formidable strength, but also understood the power of verbal sparring during combat.
The third attempt... ended in defeat after two and a half minutes.
Fourth attempt... defeated in two minutes and forty seconds.
When lunch break arrived, the team members temporarily stopped their challenge and used the time to eat and rest to discuss tactics to deal with the teacher.
Soon, the fifth challenge began.
Thanks to their excellent tactical execution, the two sides fought fiercely for five minutes and thirty-five seconds before the team suffered another regrettable defeat.
Don't be discouraged, we are gradually getting closer to victory.
"That's right, everyone keep it up!"
"Um."
During the arduous struggle, a special bond called camaraderie gradually developed among the three.
Seeing this, Kyosuke smiled slightly and secretly began to let the water flow.
Finally, at the end of the eighth challenge, with the help of the Genjutsu of the Kurama, Eri's third arm successfully retrieved the Silver Bell from her teacher's waist.
"Yay, we did it!"
"Hahaha, you old rascal, now you know how powerful we are!"
"Very good."
Looking at the team members hugging each other, Kyosuke smiled and congratulated them, "Congratulations, you've officially qualified for your internships outside the team."
"However, I must remind you that Konoha's Forehead Protector are not so easy to obtain. Even Genin need to have the strength to stand alone."
"And remember this well..."
"As my disciples, you must be ahead of all your peers. This is my special expectation of you."
Upon hearing this, the three little ones struggled to their feet, exchanged glances, and revealed determined looks in their eyes.
"Very good."
"To celebrate the team's formation, the teachers will be treating everyone tonight; you can choose any place you like."
"Yay!"
For the next period of time, Kyosuke's Shadow Clone began to lead his disciples on missions from morning till night.
Help the lady next door catch her lost cat.
Look for animals running wild in the fields.
Helping widowed elderly people find companions.
To alleviate the loneliness of the village's renowned and beautiful widow, and so on.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
"You damn dad, how long are we going to keep this up?!" Yuto finally snapped, unable to contain himself any longer.
It's all just trivial matters all day long; not only him, but the other two are also running out of patience.
Fortunately, they could spend most of their time cultivating each day; otherwise, they probably wouldn't have been able to persevere long ago.
"Want a really tough challenge?"
Sitting in the Hokage's Office, Kyosuke took out a letter of authorization from his drawer and placed it in front of the three members of the team.
"Is S-Rank mission exciting enough?"
