I'm drawing manga in Naruto

However, Akabane did not get up.

Being late is a privilege of mentors. If a mentor is not late on the first day of leading a team, can he be considered a qualified training mentor?

The training ground for the preparatory department.

More than a hundred genin gathered together with a dozen chunin instructors, waiting for the training to begin.

However, they waited and waited until the midday sun was high in the sky before they could finally see Akabane's shadow.

That figure under the blazing sun reminded everyone of Kakashi from the manga, arriving late while apologizing...

"Hello everyone, I overslept today so I'm late. Everyone seems to be in low spirits. This isn't how ninjas should act. Should we go back to school and catch up on our lessons?"

Do not!

This guy is even worse than Kakashi. Kakashi at least makes a decent excuse when he's late, but Akabane doesn't even bother to come up with an excuse. He just says he slept in.

No wonder he could draw such a top-notch character as Kakashi...

Even the Chunin who were teachers couldn't help but complain, their attitude was simply beyond words.

The group of genin immediately stood up, no longer daring to remain seated.

"Alright, today's training is simple. Let's play a game. We used this game during the Chunin Exams before, and it worked very well. Now I'll announce the rules."

"First, everyone forms teams of four. Those who haven't found a teammate can team up solo or in groups of two or three, and then..."

The first real-world simulation test was a desert survival challenge—there were only nine people before, but now the number has grown to over a hundred.

The other course instructors nodded slightly.

Although the content of the illusion is unknown, just by listening to the rules, it is clear that this game requires both individual ability and teamwork. People who cannot find a team indicate that they have a poor ability to integrate into a group.

For example, Uchiha Ryo.

At this moment, he was completely bewildered. He looked around but couldn't find a single person he could team up with.

You can't blame him for being too solitary.

As a repeat student and a member of the Uchiha clan, he was extremely unpopular in his class. If it weren't for the improved relationship between the Uchiha and Akabane, he would have suspected that Akabane was targeting him.

"If there are no problems, everyone has ten minutes to find teammates. After ten minutes, I will use illusion magic to pull everyone into a huge illusion..."

"One thing to remind you is that although the injuries in the illusion will not manifest in reality, I will give you the most realistic five senses. That is to say, after death, you will feel the pain of death again in reality."

""

A cold smile appeared on Akabane's face.

The genin shuddered. Would they feel real pain after death?

You are the devil!

Not only the genin, but even the chunin in charge of teaching found it somewhat frightening. Ryosuke Shiranui frowned slightly and said, "Akaba, isn't this going too far?"

"The first lesson the preparatory department taught everyone was: being a ninja is not child's play!"

Akabane had a cold expression—but in reality, he could manipulate the degree of feedback from various senses, so the pain of injury and death was at most 60% of the actual situation.

After all, they were all genin and had never seen a real life-or-death battle. If they actually died from the pain of 100% pain, they would have no way to explain it.

"Ok."

Ryosuke Shiranui had no choice but to agree, since Akabane was his superior.

"If there are no problems, let's begin now."

Akabane bit his finger, squeezed out a little blood, and instantly formed hand seals to summon a spirit.

The little Baku was summoned.

To create a server with over a hundred users, the Dream Eater needs to absorb the spiritual energy of the ninjas within the illusionary realm to power its operation; otherwise, while Akabane could manage on his own, it would likely be unable to sustain it in the long run.

"Feel the pain, experience the pain, accept the pain, understand the pain! Illusion—open!"

Chapter 227 What are you? Rookies!

"Akaba, does that sentence... have any special meaning?"

Why do people say that old age brings wisdom and experience?

No one else noticed, but Ryosuke Shiranui felt that Akabane seemed a little excited and proud, which gave him a very strange feeling.

Upon hearing this question, Akabane couldn't help but cough a few times. He had just blurted it out on a whim, and it didn't have any special meaning.

"Is it a release phrase for the illusion?"

Someone guessed.

"Ahem, watch the live stream first. I'm going to pull everyone into an illusion. Please, teachers, do not resist."

Akabane interrupted their mindless speculation.

If he keeps guessing, anything is possible. He can't very well say that he was just being a bit of a chuunibyou and just blurted out a line.

As for why they were pulled into the illusion...

Firstly, these instructors will be responsible for guiding the training of genin in the future. They must guide these genin in their strengths and abilities, and then provide targeted instruction.

Secondly, these instructors have much stronger mental strength than even genin. Once inside the illusion, they only need to observe and do not need to expend extra mental energy. Moreover, the mental energy they have stored can be used to supply the illusion's energy consumption.

Simply put, they're a bunch of tools.

The group entered the illusion and soon saw a giant eagle leading all the genin across a field resembling the Land of Wind, arriving at a vast desert.

Desert, a backdrop of war?

Everyone seemed to be deep in thought.

"This desert terrain should be a notorious forbidden area of ​​Sunagakure."

Ryosuke explained.

His kneecap was shattered during the war with Sunagakure. Although he received treatment, the bone fragments remained embedded, rendering him unable to function as a proper ninja and forcing him to retire.

He knew quite a bit about the Land of Wind.

“That’s right, this is the forbidden desert of the Wind Kingdom. There are countless traps inside, and some places still have residual poisonous fog. Their goal is to survive and then find the exit I left behind based on the clues.”

Akabane offered an explanation.

In short, it's about running from the poison gas, running from the safe zone, and parachuting—this is very important. If the genin don't jump well, they might fall directly into a trap and die.

These have all been warned about; if you make a mistake and die, you can't blame anyone else.

of course……

Landing from a high altitude involves not only controlling the umbrella but also managing chakra.

Similar to climbing trees and wading through water, you can use chakra to cushion the impact when landing from a great height; this is mentioned in school.

By this time, the giant eagle had flown over the desert, and many people began to jump down.

This kind of illusion game was something no one had ever seen before, but it looked really exciting. Seeing the genin jump off the giant eagle's back one by one was thrilling and exciting for the instructors themselves.

Within minutes, fighting had broken out in some areas.

Ryosuke Shiranui's gaze remained fixed on the small map displaying everyone's locations. After glancing at it, he said, "This genin named Uchiha Ryo doesn't seem to have a team..."

"The basic operation of the Uchiha clan, just stay calm."

Akabane glanced at it but didn't pay much attention.

The other mentors weren't too surprised either. Although the Uchiha clan had tried to integrate into the village, the impressions they had created over the years were hard to change overnight.

of course.

If Uchiha Ryo knew what his mentors were thinking, the child would feel very upset.

He didn't want to be alone; no one really wanted him.

too difficult!

"However, if he is from the Uchiha clan, his abilities are definitely not a problem. Moreover, Uchiha Ryo was a top student in your class last year, Akabane, but something happened and he had to repeat a year."

Nohara Shigeaki seems to have done his homework on the students' part and knows about Uchiha Ryo's situation.

Upon hearing this, everyone remembered who he was and showed expressions of sympathy—the child was talented, but he encountered Akabane and, in a moment of madness, used the Great Fireball Technique, resulting in him having to repeat a year.

With such a background, it's no wonder he's having trouble finding teammates.

The scene shifts, and everyone sees someone causing trouble for Uchiha Ryo.

A four-person team deliberately chose to parachute near Uchiha Rin, and after some searching, they finally found his whereabouts.

But what can a flock of sheep do even if they surround a wolf?

After a series of clashes, Uchiha Rin managed to break through and escape, but the difference in their abilities still existed.

"Being a year older does indeed create a gap in strength. By the way, I remember you have quite a few classmates here, Akabane, right?"

"Well, let me see..."

Akabane searches for the people in the illusion, and then switches between several large screens in this "viewing room".

The Inuzuka Ishi team, the Shikamei Ino-Shika-Cho team, and a few other classmates whose names Akabane couldn't recall.

Although there was a one-year difference, the gap in strength between the two sides was enormous.

In less than ten minutes, the number of students was reduced from more than one hundred to more than eighty. Most of them were punished by these senior students, who showed no mercy in educating the younger generation.

A dozen minutes later, the remaining fifty people in the field—some died at the hands of others, while others were killed by traps or poisoned because they hadn't scouted the terrain.

"This kind of battlefield tests all the abilities needed in ninja warfare. I never expected there to be such a bizarre training method. No wonder the village asked you to be their training instructor."

After watching half of the show, Ryosuke Shiranui's attitude changed from skepticism to complete admiration, and he even started using more respectful language when addressing the audience.

"This illusion is too powerful."

"No wonder Akabane is so young, yet he is already a special Jonin. Even a Jonin wouldn't be this strong in genjutsu alone."

"..."

The group of Chunin were completely convinced.

This illusion technique is a powerful tool for training, and currently, among the new generation of the Kurama clan, only Akabane has awakened his bloodline limit.

The older generation of bloodline limit users were either dead or injured, or too old to serve as mentors—besides, even those older ones probably didn't possess illusion techniques as exquisite as Akabane's.

After careful consideration, only Akabane is suitable for this position in the entire village.

Akabane was very satisfied.

After a short training session, both students and teachers were impressed.

Outstanding effect!

The little tapir was also very satisfied. Although the spiritual energy went in and out almost immediately, the sense of satisfaction from eating so much at once was quite strong.

Before long, the safe zone shrank again.

At this point, only Inuzuka Ishi and Nara Shikamei's teams remained in the circle. Inuzuka Ishi's team included himself, the Aburame clan, and a member of the Hyuga branch family.

A standard reconnaissance team.

Nara Shikamei's side features the classic Ino-Shika-Cho trio. Although their individual strength isn't particularly high, their teamwork is incredibly strong, making them completely unafraid of Inuzuka Ishi's team.

Therefore, in the final round, Nara Shikamei and Yamanaka Tori took the lead in controlling the opponent and reducing their combat power, and finally Akimichi Kazue's human bomb tank attacked and crushed them.

A match with no suspense whatsoever.

However, Inuzuka Ishi's team did have its highlights. Their direct combat strength was actually quite average, but they made perfect use of the terrain, traps, and poisonous fog by leveraging their strong reconnaissance capabilities to kill more than a dozen teams in the process.

Of those eliminated, a third died indirectly from their team.

The illusion disappears.

The little Baku perched on Akabane's shoulder and let out a satisfied burp.

Injury and death can cause intense mental fluctuations, which in turn release a certain amount of mental energy. This mental energy goes in and out, and a small amount remains in its body.

It was really full after the game!

Outside the illusion, all the lower-ranking ninjas were wailing in despair.

Even if it's only 60% of the pain, it's still intense for their age. Some even go into shock and are taken away by the waiting medical team.
