Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Yoruichi Yagami glanced at the three girls and said, "You are all very strong, so I will not train you in the way of a regular team."

"Let me see how much you've grown over the past few years. This clone of mine is only at the level of an elite Jonin. If you can defeat this clone, it means your growth has been satisfactory."

Yagami Yoruichi created a wood clone and said, "You can discuss your tactics first, and attack at any time once you're ready. Just a heads up, this clone's chakra level is equivalent to that of a regular Jonin. Also, I won't use any space-time abilities or summoning techniques."

After saying that, Yagami Yoruichi activated Body Flicker and withdrew from the training ground, leaving only his clone standing in place.

In fact, Yoruichi Yagami was very familiar with the strength of Karin Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga.

I also have a general understanding of Kurama Yakumo's strength.

The main reason for arranging this test was to see if the three of them could form a good team.

Although a clone with only 1,000 chakra points can exert strength far exceeding that of an ordinary Jonin under the many techniques mastered by Yoruichi Yagami, its chakra quantity is still a 'shortcoming'.

If the three girls can work together well, there is still a good chance they can defeat Yagami Yoruichi's clone.

However, if they cannot cooperate and fight their own battles, then they have no chance of winning.

After Yagami Yoruichi announced the start, the three of them immediately gathered together to discuss it.

"Yoruichi's strength is such that even using only the chakra of an ordinary Jonin, we cannot easily defeat him. We must cooperate."

Karin Uzumaki activated her 'Kagura Mind's Eye' to sense the situation and said, "I'm a sensory type, so let me share some information first. Assuming your clone's chakra level is 'one,' Yakumo's chakra level is about two and a half, Hinata's is between five and six, and mine is twenty-two."

Hinata Hyuga was not surprised that Karin Uzumaki possessed sensory abilities.

Kurama Yakumo showed a surprised expression, but quickly accepted it.

“I am skilled in illusions. However, my illusions are rarely effective against Yoruichi-sensei, or rather, they have never worked before,” Kurama Yakumo said. “But I have an ability that can materialize illusions into reality, which should be effective for both direct attacks and distraction.”

“I have the most chakra, so the basic tactic should be for me to control and wear down the opponent. I’m quite confident in my Water Release.” Karin Uzumaki looked at Hinata Hyuga and said, “But to defeat Yoruichi’s clone, it can only be up to you, Hinata.”

During the years that Yagami Yoruichi guided Uzumaki Karin and Hyuga Hinata in their training, they naturally had many exchanges or 'sparring'.

They all knew that Yagami Yoruichi had an endless array of defensive techniques, and ordinary ninjutsu simply couldn't be effective against him.

Either it's so sophisticated that it bypasses all of Yoruichi Yagami's defensive measures.

Either you have to be powerful enough to break through Yoruichi Yagami's defenses.

Hinata Hyuga understood this as well, and nodded vigorously, saying, "I haven't mastered 'Hell Thrust' yet, and my strongest attack is ranged. But in that case, I won't be able to coordinate with your attrition tactics; I'll only have the power for a single strike."

As she spoke, Hinata Hyuga untied the longbow that was slung over her back.

This longbow was made by the Hyuga clan at great expense, collecting a large amount of chakra metal and other precious materials, specifically for Hinata Hyuga.

The accompanying arrows were also extremely expensive, with only a dozen or so available.

It's not that we can't afford to build it, but that we simply can't find the right materials.

In recent years, the Hyuga clan has snapped up all the precious materials circulating in the ninja world market at high prices.

“If it’s just a single strike, then we need to control Yoruichi to ensure everything goes smoothly.” Karin Uzumaki looked at Yakumo Kurama and asked, “Can your Genjutsu Shinsei do that?”

“If it’s just for a short time, it should be possible.” Kurama Yakumo nodded, then immediately added, “But we need to make sure Yoruichi-sensei’s chakra isn’t too much, otherwise she might be able to break free by force.”

“That’s settled then. I’ll focus on wearing down Hinata, and you’ll support her from the side. Once Yoruichi’s chakra is almost depleted, you can find an opportunity to control her and let Hinata attack.” Karin Uzumaki quickly determined the basic tactics.

None of the three mentioned anything more detailed.

The course of battle is ever-changing, and it is impossible to plan everything perfectly.

A key factor in judging whether a ninja squad is qualified is whether they can adapt to changing circumstances while maintaining excellent teamwork during battle.

At Karin's command, Hinata grabbed her longbow and ran off into the distance.

Karin Uzumaki quickly formed hand seals, creating two clones that rushed towards Yoruichi Yagami, while her main body remained in place to continue forming intricate hand seals.

Kurama Yakumo, who was standing to the side, took out a picture book, opened it, and tore off a page.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

Karin Uzumaki created a large amount of water, and a water dragon shot out from the surface, rushing towards Yoruichi Yagami.

From both sides, Karin Uzumaki's clones rushed forward with kunai, attempting to block Yoruichi Yagami's escape route.

"The combination of the clone technique and ninjutsu is quite good."

As Yagami Yoruichi mentally commented, he raised his right foot and stomped down heavily: "Painful Heaven Kick!"

Boom!

The training ground exploded, and huge rocks rose from the ground, blocking the path of the water dragon.

With only a thousand chakra points, Yoruichi Yagami dared not be too extravagant. She merely blocked the water dragon, then drew her long sword and engaged in close combat with Karin Uzumaki's two clones.

He held his sword horizontally, blocking Karin Uzumaki's kunai.

With a flick of his wrist, the kunai was sent flying.

Then, with a flick of the wrist and a sweeping motion of the blade, one of the clones was easily dispatched.

The whole process took less than a second.

Over the past few years, Yagami Yoruichi has improved in more than just her ninjutsu and skill proficiency.

Even the physical and sword skills that Yagami Yoruichi didn't particularly like have been improved to an extremely terrifying level.

Using the same method, they easily eliminated the other clone.

The entire process takes less than five seconds, and the chakra consumption is negligible, almost negligible.

Just then, Yakumo Kurama took a paintbrush and added a few strokes to the torn painting in his hand.

The pen tip pierced the paper, and invisible Yin energy surged into the painting, making the lightning in the painting seem to come alive.

The next moment, dark clouds gathered overhead, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck down directly at Yoruichi Yagami.

"Illusionary technique, true life! This bloodline limit is truly unreasonable! Is it really not the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan?"

Yagami Yoruichi mentally complained, but dared not be negligent in the slightest.

This lightning bolt was far more destructive than Karin Uzumaki's water dragon.

"Wind Release - Vacuum Wall!" Yagami Yoruichi formed a hand seal, creating a vacuum area above her head to block the lightning.

At the same time, he completed the hand seals with his other hand, raised his finger and pointed: "Lightning Release - Thunderclap!"

Chapter 244 Hinata, Karin, and Yakumo's First Team Battle

On the training ground.

A series of booming and explosion sounds erupted continuously.

Karin Uzumaki and Yakumo Kurama teamed up to bombard Yoruichi Yagami with a barrage of ninjutsu, but Yoruichi always managed to deflect them with minimal cost, while still managing to free up her hands to counterattack.

If it weren't for the fact that Yoruichi Yagami's clone had so little chakra, the two women would have been defeated long ago.

However, inevitably, Yagami Yoruichi's chakra was still being rapidly depleted.

After all, there are only 1,000 chakra points.

Even if Yagami Yoruichi could use one unit of chakra to counteract the ninjutsu released by ten units of chakra from Karin Uzumaki, she would still be at a loss.

As the battle continued, the chakra within Yagami Yoruichi's clone rapidly decreased, soon dropping to less than a third.

Karin Uzumaki maintained Kagura's Mind's Eye to monitor Yoruichi Yagami's chakra levels.

Sensing that Yagami Yoruichi's chakra had dropped to a dangerous level, she quickly sent a signal to Kurama Yakumo.

Kurama Yakumo immediately tore a piece of paper from the album, added a few strokes to complete the painting, and then tore it open.

The illusion is truly activated.

The next moment, thick iron chains appeared out of thin air around Yoruichi Yagami, tightly binding her hands, feet, and body.

The chains were also engraved with inscriptions of sealing techniques, restricting Yagami Yoruichi's use of chakra.

"Hurry up, I can't hold on much longer!" Kurama Yakumo struggled to maintain the Genjutsu Shinsei, his chakra dwindling like water.

Just then, an arrow imbued with lightning shot from afar, moving so fast that it was almost impossible to react before piercing through Yoruichi Yagami's clone.

Boom!

The arrow pierced through Yagami Yoruichi's clone, and with its remaining force, it plunged into the ground, unleashing a terrifying explosion.

"Did we succeed?!" Kurama Yakumo exclaimed with delight.

But almost at the same time, Karin Uzumaki shouted a warning: "Be careful, Yoruichi's clone is still there!"

Seemingly in response to Karin Uzumaki's words, a figure covered in golden light burst out from the smoke of the explosion and headed straight for Yakumo Kurama, whose chakra was almost depleted.

"Do you really think I would forget Hinata?" The golden light from Yagami Yoruichi's watch gradually faded.

It was none other than the ultimate skill of [Angel of Justice - Kyle], 'Moment of Judgment'.

The 2.5-second invincibility was enough for Yagami Yoruichi to withstand Hinata Hyuga's strongest attack.

Yagami Yoruichi approached Kurama Yakumo and struck her on the back of the neck with the back of her sword, intending to knock Kurama Yakumo unconscious.

However, the moment it struck, 'Kurama Yakumo' vanished with a bang, revealing that it was just a clone.

Before the clone disappeared, Yagami Yoruichi vaguely saw a clump of red hair.

"Karin's clone, taking the form of Yakumo?" The thought had barely crossed Yagami Yoruichi's mind when, before she could even look for the real Kurama Yakumo, stone pillars rose from the ground, piercing towards her from different directions.

Without time to think, Yagami Yoruichi quickly mobilized her remaining chakra and formed a hand seal: "Earth Release - Earth Spear!"

Yoruichi Yagami's body rapidly hardened and turned black.

However, they were also locked in place by the stone pillars.

Not far away, Yakumo Kurama stood on a tree, holding a torn painting in his hand.

This stone pillar was also created by her 'Illusionary Life' technique!

Just as Yagami Yoruichi was about to use the Kusanagi Sword to cut open the stone pillar and break free.

Then a streak of blue and white lightning shot from a distance, rapidly approaching.

"Chidori!"

Hinata Hyuga's arm pierced Yoruichi Yagami's chest, shattering the heart of this wooden clone.

"So that's how it is. The ranged attacks were just a feint to bait out skills; the real killing move was melee?"
