"There's no problem with the spiritual pressure part." Mugetsu nodded and said, "However, as for the training of Bankai... it seems there's been no progress."

“That’s normal.” With a sigh of relief, Oborozuki said, “Don’t forget what kind of world this is. Here, neither the serfs of spirit particles nor the strength of spiritual power are enough for you to unleash Bankai.”

"Uh, so... does that mean I'll never master Bankai in this lifetime?" To be honest, this news still left Mugetsu quite disheartened. Although even without Bankai, his current strength was enough to completely overwhelm the entire world, just thinking about the attributes and power of his Zanpakuto, what kind of sensation would Bankai cause?

"It's not impossible," said Oborozuki in a peculiar tone. "If you could go to another world, preferably the world of the Shinigami, that would be perfect."

"Are you kidding me?" This left Wuyue speechless. "That's a power even a True God Level 2 couldn't achieve, like crossing barriers and all that..."

"Have you forgotten how you came to be in this world?" Longyue smiled and said, "Since the barrier between the three-dimensional and two-dimensional worlds can be broken, let alone two worlds that are both two-dimensional."

How did I come into this world?

Wuyue pondered for a moment, then said, "Time travel while sleeping?"

"Pfft! Idiot! You're so stupid!" Longyue roared in Wuyue's inner world, extremely annoyed. "How could I have such a foolish master! Idiot, idiot! Think about your cheat system!"

"Uh, could it be a system?" Wuyue finally realized. "But this system doesn't seem to have the function of time travel!"

"There isn't one now, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future." Longyue said in a profound and unfathomable voice, "Work hard, young man." After she finished speaking, she seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

"Later... could it be?" The little girl's last words made Wuyue fall into deep thought. Just then, the Zanpakuto, deprived of gravity, fell to the table with a thud, startling him awake.

"Your cultivation is over?"

When I opened my eyes, I saw Shizune's pretty face.

"Well, it's temporarily over." Waving her hand, Wuyue asked, "What happened? Is there a problem?"

"It's like this..." Shizune repeated the words of the ANBU ninja.

"Were their physical forms stripped away?" After a moment's thought, Wuyue said, "It seems it's the same as those Grass Ninja before. Someone replaced their identities and infiltrated among the trainees."

"The Akatsuki?" Shizune frowned.

“Possibly.” Wuyue nodded and said, “It could also be someone from another ninja village. Whoever did it, they are definitely an enemy of Konoha, no doubt about it.”

"Does this require focused investigation?"

"No, let's just wait and see. Hongdou's side should be ready by now."

"Yes, I've already informed her."

……

……

"Look, this is the Forest of Death." Red Bean, wearing a black trench coat and tight leather pants, looked at the group of students before turning her gaze to the vast forest enclosed by a fence. "Don't blame me for not warning you, this place is extremely dangerous. Not only do you have to be careful of your other team members, but countless venomous snakes and ferocious beasts await you inside. If you're scared, you can leave now!"

silence.

The dozens of members present exchanged glances, but no one spoke.

"I see. So you think I'm exaggerating." Shaking her head, Hongdou said, "Well then..."

"I said, stop talking nonsense!" Before she could finish speaking, one of the taller examinees complained, "Now that we're already here, how can we possibly let go..."

call out.

A kunai grazed the examinee's cheek. The feeling of narrowly escaping death made him tremble all over, like a leaf shaking.

"Young man, didn't your teacher teach you to respect your teachers?" Hongdou stared at him coldly and said, "Who gave you the courage to interrupt me while I was speaking?"

Chapter 0424 An Unequal Battle

Cold sweat!

That student... no, it should be said that all the examinees present were intimidated by the murderous aura emanating from Hongdou.

It's important to understand that although Hongdou is among the youngest and weakest of Wuyue's women, she was still personally "trained" by Wuyue and trained in the assassination squad for several years. Her abilities are several times stronger than those in the original story.

In fact, if she were to unleash her full killing intent, even ordinary Jonin would struggle to withstand it. Let alone these rookies who haven't even reached Chunin level yet. The only ones truly capable of resisting her are Mirai and Yuuki, these two extraordinary Genin!

Seeing the candidates trembling all over, each one like a plucked quail, Hongdou's examiner assistant couldn't bear it any longer. "Lady Hongdou, they're just children!"

"Children?" Anko scoffed. "Once you've embarked on the path of a ninja, age doesn't matter. Killing and being killed are the main themes of this world!" Though she said this, she quickly withdrew her aura. "Well, in short, if you want to survive, don't underestimate anyone. Once you step onto this battlefield, be prepared to die at any time!"

"Examiner, what if... what if I want to quit halfway through?" One of the examinees from Tangren Village finally couldn't hold back and asked this question.

“Death or escape.” Red Bean grinned and sneered, “Live like a coward.” With that, she turned and left.

Her examiner's assistant shook his head and sighed, then stepped forward and opened the gate to the Forest of Death. "Well then, good luck to you."

With trepidation and astonishment, the candidates stepped into the examination center for the second session.

"I never expected that my aunt would have such a cool side." Unlike the other candidates' awe of Hongdou, Wei Lai was quite surprised.

You see, back at her home, Hongdou acted like an adorable, clumsy little bird, clinging to her father. This sudden change in personality made Future feel a bit uneasy. The contrast was too great!

"In the future, will you know that examiner?" Sakura asked in surprise, her eyes wide with astonishment.

"You actually dream of marrying that guy, and you don't even know about his harem?" Yuuki's words were clearly laced with sarcasm, expressing her disgust at the man's womanizing. "She's one of them, too."

"The Hokage's harem?!" Sakura was stunned for a moment, then said, "I, I know that the Hokage has many girlfriends. Mirai-chan's mother is one of them, and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is also his fiancée... and, that bastard Ino."

“Ino.” Mirai was quite philosophical about it. Or rather, she grew up in a large family, and it had become a habit. “She’s still too young. Papa probably isn’t interested in her yet. Although he’s a lolicon, he likes to hide that trait. He’s so dishonest!”

"Hey, get this straight," Yuzuki sighed helplessly. "Is this the time to talk about this? That guy, he clearly..."

"Oh, Yuuki-chan. You seem a little excited." Before she could finish speaking, Mirai interrupted her. "Could it be that you also harbor feelings for my father?"

The expression in the future is incredible, probably something like: I treat you like a sister, but you want to be my mom?

"No way! How could I!" Yuuki became even more agitated. However, before she could finish speaking, a series of whooshing sounds suddenly rang out from the side. One after another, black kunai streaked across the sky.

"Enemy!" Sakura shouted and immediately jumped away.

"Ambushed?" Future raised an eyebrow, gripping the ninja sword on his back with his right hand. With a clang, he drew the sword.

Ding ding ding.

Sparks flew everywhere. The kunai fell to the ground before they even got close to them.

"How is that possible!"

"They actually stopped us!"

"Damn it, retreat!"

The attackers were a group of Rain Ninja. They clearly hadn't expected that their meticulously planned ambush would cause the slightest trouble for their opponents, and instead expose them.

Seeing that one strike had blocked their attack, they knew they were no match for them. They fled rapidly backward.

"You bunch of bastards!" With a cold snort, Xi Yue's pupils suddenly turned crimson. "How could I let you get away!" She raised her hands and quickly formed hand seals.

Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!

Boom!

A fiery red dragon head materialized and shot towards the Rain Ninja.

"what?"

"This level of ninjutsu!"

"Are these guys really genin?"

The Rain Ninja were terrified. At their level, they were utterly powerless against this level of ninjutsu. Forget resistance; they couldn't even dodge or escape.

In an instant, the fiery dragon unfolded behind them, and the rising sparks engulfed them all.

"Hmph. Trash." Xi Yue raised her head arrogantly and said.

“This…” After a moment of silence, Future suddenly said, “You’re just going to burn them all like this, what about the scrolls?”

Uh.

Xi Yue, who had been maintaining a cold and aloof posture, was suddenly taken aback, and an embarrassed expression appeared on her face.

Chapter 0425 Killing Intent

"Sorry, I forgot the rules of this exam for a moment," Xi Yue said, scratching her head in frustration.

"Never mind." Mirai waved her hand magnanimously. "There are so many teams taking the exam here, taking down this one won't hurt. But, Yuuki-chan seems a bit emotionally unstable. Is something wrong?"

It's all because of what you said! How could a daughter possibly develop feelings for her father? It's utterly absurd!

Yuuzuki silently complained in her heart, but shook her head without showing any outward expression. "No, it's okay. I just thought of something."

"Yuzuki-chan." Mirai sighed and said, "You're taking an exam right now, so be serious. Don't think about those weird things. Although, you're getting to that age, aren't you?"

"Pah!" Xi Yue immediately realized what she was referring to. Her face flushed, she spat. "I wasn't thinking anything weird! And besides, I don't want to be lectured by you!"

"You're being a little tsundere, Yuuki-chan." Mirai blinked and laughed, "Hehehe, that's pretty cute."

"No way! I'm not being tsundere!" Xi Yue raised her little fist and gestured at her. "Also, please don't make that creepy laugh, okay? It sounds like an old pervert!"

"How rude of you, Yuuki-chan! How could you call me a pervert!" Mirai feigned anger and pounced on him. "Fine, then I'll show you what a pervert I am!"

"Hey! What are you doing? No! You can't touch me there..."

Strange shouts echoed from the dark forest, interspersed with terrifying laughter.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in this area, a battle also unfolds.

Several Hidden Mist Village ninjas surrounded Hinata, Kiba, and Shino's team, their faces contorted with ferocious and bloodthirsty smiles.

This group of Hidden Mist ninja had clearly planned ahead, intending to operate as a group. Three squads joined together, nine of them against the other three-person squads. It has to be said, this tactic was a bit dirty.

At the genin level, the advantage of numbers is significant. An ordinary squad would be no match for nine people. These Kirigakure members have already used this method to eliminate four or five isolated squads. Now, they've set their sights on Hinata and the others.

Both Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame were only at the level of genin, and they were quickly overwhelmed by the combined attack of two or three people.

"What, you can't even handle this?" The leader of the Mist Ninja was a tall, muscular young man with a noticeable scar on his chin and sharp eyes. "You're quite disappointing."

"Damn it! You bunch of bastards!" Kiba Inuzuka gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "You're just bullying us because you outnumber us. If you've got the guts, come and fight me one-on-one!"

"A one-on-one duel?" The tall, muscular young man scoffed. "We already have a significant advantage, so why make such a pointless move? I know you're not happy about it... but ninjas are all about results, not the process. That's tactics!"

"Damn it! You shameless!" Kiba Inuzuka roared in fury, clenching his fists as he prepared to attack, but was caught off guard and pinned down by two other Kirigakure ninja. With a thud, he collapsed to the ground.

"Please let go of my teeth," Hinata said, taking a deep breath and speaking in a pleading tone.

"Hehehe, this young lady doesn't seem to have grasped the situation yet." The tall, burly young man looked down at her with an air of superiority. "You are the prey. Since you are prey, how could I possibly let you escape?"

"You don't just want our scrolls, you want to kill us?" Shino Aburame seemed to realize something, her gaze shifting to the other person...

"Hehe, you actually found out?" The tall, strong young man chuckled and said, "That's right. I finally got to see you Konoha ninjas, how could I let this opportunity pass? You know, your Hokage killed many of our comrades back then. Now that I have this chance, I'm naturally going to take my revenge."
