Naruto: The Twin Kamui at the Start

"What is that?"

She let out a sharp scream, feeling a pair of large hands grab her ankles. Her body suddenly felt heavy, and in an instant, she sank into the ground!

"It's you?"

"Su Bai!"

"How could you..."

Above ground, with only her petite head exposed, Wen Yuanyuan was struck with shock.

Didn't his ninjutsu only have a range of 300 meters?

Why did he suddenly appear here?

Was he still feigning weakness?

Damn it, what a devious guy!

Su Bai squatted in front of her and smiled, "Wen Yuanyuan, you've lost."

"Hmph, shameless jerk!" Wen Yuanyuan huffed, turning her head away.

Su Bai looked toward the two girls still fighting and offered her an apologetic look.

"Wen Yuanyuan, just rest here for a bit. I'll pull you out once the fight is over."

"Get lost! Who needs help from a devious guy like you!"

"Heh~"

The Underestimated Genjutsu

"Yuanyuan was defeated?" Yang Liu, who was busy dodging Xia Xueqing's attacks, felt his pupils constrict as his focus wavered.

Xia Xueqing seized the opportunity, her fingers striking his right arm with force. Yang Liu let out a cry of pain... his right arm could no longer channel chakra.

"You've lost." Xia Xueqing looked at Yang Liu calmly. "You are very strong. If you hadn't been distracted, I wouldn't have defeated you so easily."

"A loss is a loss; I won't make excuses." Yang Liu shook his head. "Besides, I didn't expect Su Bai to defeat Yuanyuan so quickly. We have no chance of winning now."

"You all underestimated Su Bai. He is the strongest among the three of us!" Xia Xueqing shook her head, smiling as she watched Su Bai run over.

"Xueqing, you defeated him?" Su Bai arrived just as the two stopped fighting.

"Yes, let's go help Chang Rui."

"Right!"

The two immediately sprinted toward Chang Rui and Yan Zheng. As soon as they reached them, Yan Zheng stopped fighting. "I concede. You win."

He wasn't joking; Chang Rui alone was already difficult to deal with. Adding two more people would just be asking for a beating.

Thus, he conceded quite readily.

The Campus Tournament came to an end, and the five of them walked over to Wen Yuanyuan.

Just as Su Bai intended to pull her out, Chang Rui stopped him.

Chang Rui giggled as she squatted in front of Wen Yuanyuan, pinching her cheeks.

"Yo, yo, yo, isn't this our Miss Wen? How did you end up so pathetic in just a short while?"

"Chang Rui, get lost! Yan Zheng, Yang Liu, hurry up and kill her for me!"

Wen Yuanyuan let out a shrill scream, mortified to the point of wanting to hide.

"Ahem." Yang Liu coughed dryly and looked at Su Bai. "The ground is cold, Su Bai. You should hurry up and get Yuanyuan out."

"Right." Su Bai nodded with a smile, then performed a hand seal to sink into the ground and pull Wen Yuanyuan out.

"Chang Rui, I'm going to kill you!" Once freed, Wen Yuanyuan lunged at Chang Rui with claws bared, but she was blocked by Su Bai and Yang Liu.

"Yuanyuan, the match is over," Yang Liu said helplessly.

Wen Yuanyuan glared at Chang Rui with her beautiful eyes. "Don't get cocky. You didn't beat me this time. We'll see about this!"

"Hee hee." Chang Rui hid behind Su Bai and made a face at Wen Yuanyuan.

Wen Yuanyuan snorted coldly, took a Storage Scroll from her robes, opened it on the ground, and performed a one-handed seal, pressing her palm onto the blank space of the scroll.

"Bang!"

A puff of white smoke appeared from the scroll, followed by five Ninjutsu Scroll items. Wen Yuanyuan grabbed one at random, tossed it to Su Bai, and walked away with Yang Liu and Yan Zheng.

"Let me see what kind of ninjutsu she gave you. This woman is even richer than I am!" Chang Rui snatched the scroll from Su Bai's hand and opened it.

"What is this? It's a genjutsu, hmph!"

Hearing this, Su Bai looked over and saw seven characters written on the scroll: Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique!

It's this ninjutsu? Su Bai whispered to himself.

Su Bai knew the Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique; it was a genjutsu that appeared early in the original work, allowing the enemy to see the terrifying scenes they most feared.

Once activated, the enemy's stamina and chakra would continuously deplete. Those with weak mental fortitude might even faint from fright. It was considered quite powerful for a D-rank ninjutsu.

Thinking of this, Su Bai felt puzzled and asked Chang Rui, "Isn't this ninjutsu quite good? Why do you look so dissatisfied?"

"Good? What's good about it!" Chang Rui curled her lips and explained to him.

After Chang Rui's explanation, Su Bai finally understood why she looked down on this scroll of ninjutsu.

To be precise, it wasn't that Chang Rui looked down on the Hell Viewing Technique, but rather that she looked down on all genjutsu!

The reason was simple: genjutsu is very difficult to use effectively against monsters.

Because monsters have massive bodies, their chakra reserves and mental strength are countless times stronger than those of humans! Therefore, genjutsu cast by a ninja of the same rank is rarely effective against monsters.

This has led to genjutsu-using ninjas in this world being ranked behind ninjutsu-using ninjas and taijutsu-using ninjas.

After all, ninjutsu possesses powerful lethality, and taijutsu has the heaven-defying forbidden technique known as the Eight Inner Gates to push one's performance beyond their limits.

But genjutsu just doesn't cut it; it can only deal with other ninjas.

Although what Chang Rui says is true, I don't need to worry about it, Su Bai thought to himself, remembering the Kekkei Genkai he hadn't awakened yet—the Sharingan!

In the original work, the Sharingan was the ancestor of genjutsu. He believed that even in this world, the Sharingan would not let him down!

Moreover, the current system task is to practice three D-rank ninjutsu... so this scroll from Wen Yuanyuan was very timely for Su Bai, and he was quite satisfied with it.

"Su Bai, come with me to find her. I'll make her exchange it for you!" Chang Rui, fuming, grabbed Su Bai, intending to go find Wen Yuanyuan to argue!

Su Bai shook his head. "Forget it. A genjutsu is a genjutsu; I think it's actually quite good."

"What? Are you out of your mind?" Hearing Su Bai's words, Chang Rui's eyes widened instantly.

But then, as if she had thought of something, she stared at him with a malicious gaze. "Su Bai, you haven't been bewitched by Wen Yuanyuan's appearance, have you? Do you like her?"

"How is that possible!" Su Bai shook his head decisively upon hearing this, saying without a second thought, "In my eyes, Xia Xueqing is the most beautiful. How could I be bewitched by her? You're joking!"

"Hmm?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Rui was immediately surprised and turned her head to look at Xia Xueqing.

"Oh, so the two of you really have an affair!"

"You—Sister Rui, don't talk nonsense! What affair? That sounds terrible!" Xia Xueqing quickly denied it.

At this moment, her heart was beating fast, and only one thought filled her mind.

Su Bai said I am the most beautiful?

He... he wouldn't be confessing to me, would he?

As she thought about it, Xia Xueqing's pretty face turned red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Su Bai.

Su Bai rubbed his nose. He also felt that he had spoken a bit too bluntly and wanted to explain himself immediately.

However, at this moment, the emcee had already walked over, looking at the three of them with a smile.

"Congratulations on winning the championship. Please come up to the stage to receive your awards!"

"Oh, okay."

The three of them immediately followed the emcee.

After a series of troublesome award-receiving procedures, the three of them were finally relieved once the audience dispersed.

Chang Rui excitedly grabbed Xia Xueqing and Su Bai and walked out of the Combat Gym.

"Let's go, we'll go shopping first, and I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"

She was in a great mood; not only had they won the championship, but more importantly, she had humiliated Wen Yuanyuan. This made her look at Su Bai, who had contributed significantly, in a new light, and she decided to treat him to dinner as a thank you!

"Great, great! I want to eat barbecue!" Xia Xueqing said happily.

Su Bai hesitated for a moment. "I still have something to do, so I won't go shopping... How about you tell me where you're eating, and I'll go find you there later?"

The day was still early, and with Su Bai still worried about the fatty, he was in no mood to go shopping with two girls...

Chapter 31: Body Flicker Technique Obtained

"You have something to do?" Chang Rui was immediately unhappy, but she didn't force him. "Alright then, in that case, just go directly to the Monster BBQ Restaurant to find us later."

"Monster BBQ Restaurant!" Su Bai was startled.

Although he didn't usually spend money at restaurants, he knew of some famous restaurants in Yang City... such as the barbecue place Chang Rui just mentioned.

The Monster BBQ Restaurant was very simple and brutal; the shop was exactly as its name suggested. Everything served in the shop was monster meat. It was said that a single meal cost tens of thousands of Federal Coin, something Su Bai had never even dreamed of before.

"This... wouldn't it be too extravagant to go there?" Su Bai hesitated.

Chang Rui curled her lips. "Extravagant? We won the championship today, so we must celebrate properly!"

"That's right, that's right! I haven't been there to eat barbecue in a long time, hee hee!" Xia Xueqing's eyes curved into smiles as soon as she heard that.

Seeing that the two girls were insistent, Su Bai shrugged indifferently.

"Alright then, I'll listen to you two. But let's get this straight: with such high prices there, I don't have the money to pay the bill."

With his parents' combined monthly income being only a few thousand Federal Coin, Su Bai felt that this one meal might cost half a year's worth of his family's income...

"Go, go, go!" Chang Rui pulled Xia Xueqing by the hand, acting bold and generous. "Who needs you to pay? Just show up when the time comes; this lady is treating!"

With that, she couldn't wait to drag Xia Xueqing off for a shopping spree.

Xia Xueqing kept looking back to remind Su Bai not to forget, and after Su Bai smiled, nodded, and bid the two women farewell, he pulled out his phone...

"Hello, Fatty?"

"Right, I'm at the entrance. Come on out."

After hanging up, he looked at the gold trophy in his hand with a sense of anticipation.

"I wonder how much this fatty is willing to pay!"

For him, this Campus Tournament was as good as having no reward at all; he only received a recommendation letter from Yang City to the Nine Provinces Academy, which left Su Bai very dissatisfied...

He truly envied the rewards for second and third place; the former was a C-rank ninjutsu scroll, and the latter was three D-rank ninjutsu that could have allowed him to complete his mission directly!

This made him shed tears of envy...

But fortunately, he had made arrangements with Fatty beforehand, and now he just had to wait and see what kind of surprise the other party could give him!

Five minutes later... Fatty came running over, panting heavily.

"Brother Su, you are truly awesome!"

"I really didn't expect you guys to actually defeat Wen Yuanyuan's team; that was truly incredible!"

"Heh, it was just luck." Su Bai smiled calmly, then shook the trophy in his hand. "Let's talk business. How much can you offer for this thing?"

Fatty eyed the trophy in his hand greedily and said happily, "Brother Su, how about 1 million Federal Coin?"

1 million? Su Bai raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

This fatty was being a bit dishonest.
