Sarutobi Asuma's progress did not meet Uchiha Mikoto's expectations for direct descendants of powerful clans.

She originally thought that as the young master of the Sarutobi family and the biological son of Sarutobi Hiruzen, regardless of his personality, he should at least have extraordinary strength.

But now it seems that's not all that great.

He might rank high in the ninja academy, but he wouldn't be considered a true genius.

The opponent's two short blades were made of special materials, but they did not unleash their full power in the opponent's hands.

Their moves are rigid, their attack power is mediocre, and their combat intelligence is laughably simplistic.

"Clang! Clang!" With a flick of her wrist, Mikoto Uchiha deflected Asuma Sarutobi's short blade and asked, "What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

As his weapon slipped from his hand, Sarutobi Asuma realized the danger and quickly retreated.

When he realized that Mikoto Uchiha hadn't caught up, he felt even more suffocated.

The other party clearly didn't take him seriously.

In shame and indignation, he took a deep breath and then formed a hand seal.

"Fire Release: Fireball Technique!"

"Phew~"

A fireball half the height of a person suddenly appeared in the training field.

In an instant, the temperature in the space rose rapidly, and even the Shenyue Nebula, who was watching the battle not far away, could feel a wave of heat radiating from it.

A hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

It's a fireball!

Although it was far smaller than the giant fireball I remembered, which was taller than a person, and its momentum was also quite ordinary, the opponent did indeed summon a large fireball in the open space.

This is something he can't do now.

For a newly graduated genin to be able to unleash a C-rank fire release technique is already quite impressive. This represents not only exceptional talent but also a supportive family background.

Watching Sarutobi Asuma, full of vigor as the fireball roared, Shingetsu Seiun secretly encouraged himself.

It's just a powerful fireball.

If I spend more time with girls, sooner or later I'll be able to blow my own horn too! And when that happens, it'll definitely be bigger and better than yours!

He was incredibly envious, while not far away, Uchiha Mikoto's eyes remained completely unmoved.

Fireball.

A regular C-rank Fire Release technique.

Being able to perform C-rank ninjutsu after graduation is something that is difficult for ordinary people to do, but it is not unusual for scions of powerful clans.

Moreover, with her keen eyesight, she could tell at a glance that Sarutobi Asuma's fireball technique was only of average skill.

There are shortcomings in the execution of hand seals, chakra output, and even the formation of fireballs.

Having ascertained the opponent's true level, she had no interest in lingering any longer, and with chakra enveloped her arm, she swung it sharply.

"Bang!" The fireball dissipated in the Jonin's casual attack.

"Alright." Once the heatwave subsided, Mikoto Uchiha offered a half-hearted compliment: "Your strength is not bad."

Sarutobi Asuma finally straightened his back a bit.

Mikoto Uchiha then looked at Kurenai Yuhi: "Kurenai, come on up."

Upon hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi slowly walked to the opposite side of Mikoto Uchiha.

"Mikoto-sensei".

"My major is illusion."

Mikoto Uchiha nodded: "Alright, then use your genjutsu to attack me."

Yuhi Hong nodded.

Currently, he mainly possesses two types of illusion magic.

One of them is the "Ninja Art: Bewitching Light Technique" used on Uchiha Mikoto during the previous assessment.

She's going to use another one now.

"Illusion, not here!" Kurenai chanted silently, channeling her chakra.

Opposite her, Uchiha Mikoto stood quietly, letting Yuhi Kurenai cast her genjutsu. As the genjutsu took effect, a glint flashed in her eyes.

Then, it disappeared.

Mikoto Uchiha showed no signs of being affected by the spell; she nodded at Kurenai Yuhi.

"good."

"Red, you have a good talent for illusion techniques. Keep up the good work, and you'll definitely become an excellent illusion ninja in the future."

Kurenai Yuhi beamed, "Yes, yes, Mikoto-sensei, I will do my best."

"Besides genjutsu, you haven't mastered any other techniques?" Uchiha Mikoto suddenly asked.

Kurenai thought for a moment and said, "Hmm~ I haven't mastered any of the other elemental ninjutsu except for genjutsu."

"As for close-combat taijutsu, her level is just average." *Bang!* Soil suddenly erupted from beneath Mikoto Uchiha's feet!

Kurenai Yuhi, who was speaking, was startled. Then, she saw a flash of light approaching rapidly! Mikoto Uchiha, without uttering a sound, suddenly pulled out a short sword from somewhere and launched a sneak attack!

With her keen senses, she detected a strong killing intent!

In her anxiety, Kurenai's pupils contracted instantly. Then, instinctively, she hooked her hands with kunai, using one hand to parry the short blade returning in front of her, and while ducking to dodge, she stabbed at the waist of the person who had attacked her.

However, the attack came to an abrupt halt. The short blade stopped in front of Kurenai, and after a brief contact with the kunai, it retreated.

Kurenai Yuhi stood up, and at that moment, she realized her heart was pounding and her back was covered in a thin layer of sweat. Just a second ago, she really thought she was going to die.

Seeing her like this, Uchiha Mikoto said solemnly, "Kurenai."

"Starting today, I will be paying special attention to your close combat training."

"Remember, taijutsu reflexes are a fundamental quality of a ninja."

"Whether you specialize in illusion techniques or the Five Elements Ninjutsu, without excellent close combat and reaction abilities, you're just a lamb to the slaughter on the battlefield, do you hear me?"

Kurenai nodded obediently, not daring to object: "Mikoto-sensei, I understand."

After fighting two people in a row, Uchiha Mikoto didn't even break a sweat. Then, she looked at the leader of the team... Kamitsuki Seiun.

The idea for the filler head was conceived by Shenyue Xingyun herself.

He felt that Mikoto Uchiha's appointment as the Jonin leader of this class was definitely not just for teaching purposes.

The fact that a Jonin of the Uchiha clan was teaching Sarutobi's disciples sounds suspicious.

As the son of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Asuma was undoubtedly a key figure. Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma's beloved and the only daughter of the renowned genjutsu jonin, Shinku Yuhi, also carried significant weight.

Only she, the eldest brother of the Shenyue family. Putting aside his charmingly handsome appearance, the only thing he's good at is his palm magic, which can serve as logistical support and medical assistance for the team.

"nebula."

"Come on, attack me with all your might."

Shenyue Xingyun nodded and stepped forward.

Immediately, in front of Uchiha Mikoto, he took out a pair of gloves from his ninja tool bag and was about to put them on.

Mikoto Uchiha frowned.

"What are you doing?"

Shingetsu Nebula: "I'm wearing gloves."

"Why are you wearing gloves?"

Shingetsu Seiun: "I...I have sensitive skin." Uchiha Mikoto was his team leader Jonin, and out of respect, he didn't want to have any physical contact with her.

He couldn't bring himself to say, "I'm afraid you'll be happy," so he made up a reason.

But Uchiha Mikoto didn't appreciate it.

"Take it off!" she said coldly. "Ninja close combat often happens between life and death."

"How can you fight while wearing gloves? Even if you protect your hands, what if you spot an opening and need to fire a kunai?"

"Shoot with gloves on!?"

Shingetsu Nebula had no choice but to take off his gloves and grip the kunai tightly.

Looking at Uchiha Mikoto in front of him, he decided to be as careful as possible and avoid contact later. If he accidentally touched her...

Don't blame me then, it was your own request, teacher.
