Konoha's Black Grim Reaper

"Who are you calling a coward?" Naruto, a grumpy man, heard someone scolding Akabane and immediately jumped up to ask Neji for an explanation.

"I'm just scolding Akabane for admitting defeat before the war started. What if he's not a coward?" Neji retorted.

Naruto was speechless at the rebuttal, mainly because he also felt that it was not a good thing for Akabane to admit defeat without fighting.

Akabane waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter what you say to me, but even if I lose tomorrow, I will fight with all my strength. I hope you won't fall in front of me then."

Akabane's words immediately aroused everyone's climax, especially Ino, who almost fell directly on Akabane.

Although Akabane has no way to defeat the four Jonin, the most basic tactical arrangements are still needed. Shikamaru happens to be here, so everyone can discuss it together.

"Hinata, your Byakugan vision is the best, so you are responsible for investigating, and Naruto, you are responsible for protecting her."

"Sasuke, you and I both have the Sharingan. The two of us are responsible for holding down Kakashi-sensei, and then Shikamaru, Ino and Choji, the three of you will work together to hold down Kai-sensei. The remaining Sakura and Naru Let's protect Hinata together. Someone will definitely attack you when the time comes. Just hold them back. Rock Lee and Neji are responsible for dealing with the remaining jounin. In a word, they must not be allowed to gather together to cooperate. , otherwise it will be difficult for us to hold on.”

Akabane just made a simple arrangement. After all, the rules of the competition are not clear yet, so it is useless to say that the arrangement is perfect.

"Okay" Everyone agreed to Akabane's proposal, and during the rest of the time, everyone shared their ninjutsu and abilities so that they could cooperate better when the time comes.

The day passed quickly, and the appointed time arrived in the blink of an eye.

The eighth training ground is also one of the largest training grounds in Konoha. It is already close to the edge of Konoha. The main reason why they were chosen here is because there are so many people. If the place is too small, they will not be able to perform their duties.

I don't know where the others heard the news. At this time, a circle of people stood outside the eighth training ground to watch, and even the third Hokage came.

Looking at these onlookers, Akabane complained crazily in his heart, are these people so idle and don't even have to work?

Complaints are complaints, what needs to be done still needs to be done, and the next step is for Kakashi to announce the rules of the competition.

"The rules of this competition are very simple. Each of us wears a string of bells. The person who loses the bells will be considered dead and leaves the training ground. Finally, we will compete to see which side has more bells. The competition time is 4 hours. "

Kakashi's rule seems to be very disadvantageous to them, because they only have four people and Akabane's side has thirteen people, but in fact this is not the case.

The four members of Kakashi's team are all jounin, while Akabane's team is all genin. The genin will naturally be eliminated faster than the jounin. Once the genin team has attrition, the jounin team may have attrition. Sex is even smaller.

"Is there anyone else who doesn't know the rules?" Kakashi asked. He didn't want to be said to have taken advantage of others not knowing the rules to win.

"Clear" As everyone said in unison, the test officially began.

Originally, the tactics laid out yesterday were for direct combat, but today's rule is to grab the bell, so the tactics need to be changed.

"Everyone gather together, don't be left alone." Akabane shouted, and everyone gathered together.

Surrounded in the middle is Hinata. With his Byakugan, everyone does not have to worry about being attacked. Although Neji also has Byakugan, he has strong combat power and needs to stay on the outside to protect others.

"No, just such a small-scale reconnaissance is useless. Naruto, use your clone to conduct reconnaissance in a farther place. Once the clone is attacked, report the location immediately."

"Many shadow clone techniques." As Naruto shouted, hundreds of shadow clones suddenly appeared on the scene.

"With so many clones, it seems that Naruto is not simple either." Neji's evaluation of Naruto became higher.

Akabane's purpose is very simple. According to the rules, as long as 5 people on his side can survive in the end, then his side will win. In other words, the initiative of winning or losing actually lies with the Jonin team.

The eighth training ground has some advantages for Akabane, because the trees in the training ground are all on the periphery, and there is just a large platform in the middle. The field of vision is relatively clear, and there is no need to worry about the Jonin using the trees to hide and sneak attacks.

"Escape from the Yellow Spring Mire." Akabane quickly formed a few seals, then slapped the ground, and the ground outside the circle where everyone was sitting suddenly turned into a quagmire.

The biggest purpose of using the ninjutsu Akabane of the Underworld Mire is to prevent the jounin from using earth escape to break into sneak attacks, which means to prevent the decapitation technique among team members.

Akabane's protection was relatively good. Unless the Jonin used long-range attacks, it would be impossible for them to sneak in.

Can the Jonin attack from a distance? Of course they can, but they will not use powerful Ninjutsu attacks. After all, this is a contest between a teacher and an apprentice, not a battle of life and death.

"Hey, what a headache. Are you sure that we won't use ninjutsu to attack them?" Asuma said helplessly, rubbing his head.

"This kid really doesn't give up any advantage. They can kill him, but we can't." Kakashi also has a headache. The surrounding mire of underworld restricts his soil escape ninjutsu. If If you rush in forcefully, you never know what kind of trap you will fall into.

"Hey, Kakashi, let me go and meet the lovely juniors first. Youth, my enthusiasm has been ignited." As soon as Kai finished his voice, he rushed into the protective circle arranged by Akabane. Inside.

"Hey, the great whirlwind of Konoha" Kai burst into the crowd from the air and kicked directly towards Hinata who was protected by the crowd.

Around the eighth training ground, the Third Hokage watched their competition. When he saw Kai's single-gun attack, he slowly shook his head.

"What's wrong, Sarutobi, do you think Kai did something wrong?" A voice suddenly appeared behind the Third Hokage. It turned out to be the two elders Mito Kadoen and Koharu Kasumi.

"Kai is too careless. He went straight to the opponent without even knowing the truth and falsehood of the other party." Sandai commented.

"Sarutobi, are you too careful? The other party is just a group of genin." Mito Kadoen retorted.

"Mito, don't underestimate anyone. A ninja only has one life. If you lose your life due to your own carelessness, it will be more than worth the loss."

The third generation's words were irrefutable, but Mito Kaden still felt that Kai's strength alone was enough to deal with a group of genin.

In the battlefield, when Akabane saw a green figure appear in the sky, he immediately cheered up. After all, this was a person who almost kicked out of the finale.

Kai's intrusion did not cause much of a stir in the crowd, but the calmness of the crowd aroused suspicion.

砰

Kai's kick accurately hit the ground next to Hinata, and the huge force immediately created a big crater in the ground.

Kai had a bad premonition in his heart. He originally kicked Hinata, but when he saw his attack, he did not do anything to dodge. In order not to kick Hinata to death, Kai had to change the target of the attack.

"Let's run away"

Akabane slapped the ground, and a strong electric light suddenly lit up on the ground.

"What does this kid want to do? Are you planning to attack his teammates as well?" Kai was a little confused. He was in the middle of the crowd now. Wouldn't he be afraid of hitting his teammates with such a large-scale ninjutsu attack?

Kai's doubts were quickly cleared.
