Red sand dust

After struggling with the ghost summoned by Kurama Yakumo for a while, Haruno Sakura, who had consumed some physical strength and chakra, found the right moment and used a psychic technique to summon Katsuyu's clone.

The thick slug with short arms rested on Haruno Sakura's shoulders, replenishing her chakra while quickly recovering from the injuries that were not too serious.

"Sakura, what are you doing?"

Looking at the strange enemies surrounding them, the well-informed "Ancient Slug" was also stunned for a moment.

"It should be an illusion, but I can't dispel it!"

Sheng Yu’s clone was very surprised:

"In addition to the Sharingan, there is actually a power circulating in the ninja world that can materialize illusions?"

"Very powerful?"

"Let me tell you, this is not a question of whether you are powerful or not, but because of some changes many years ago, the upper limit of the power of Yin Dun and Yang Dun has become lower. Big sharks cannot come out of small puddles..."

Speaking of this, Sheng Yu seemed to have returned to the beginning. Some powerful beings were dragged down by increasingly thinner natural energy, and their almost endless vitality slowly withered. Countless seniors just disappeared into the ninja world.

The balance of power is a very serious system. Once it is imbalanced, there will be extremely serious consequences. The weak physique of the Kurama family is only part of the hidden restrictions.

"It's too far to say this. To deal with the substantive nature of illusions, especially such troublesome things rooted in the convergence of many emotions, there is no point in getting entangled with them. We need to find the true form of the caster and attack the core directly..."

Haruno Sakura smiled bitterly:

"I can't find Kurama Yakumo, I guess he's hiding in the illusion space!"

"This is a bit troublesome!"

As he spoke, Sheng Yu spat out a continuous ball of corrosive acid, melting the besieging monsters.

"There are limits to any ninjutsu or illusion. If you unlock the Yin seal and summon more of my clones, you may be able to break through the situation with your strength..."

"no need!"

Haruno Sakura shook her head.

Kurama Yakumo is not an enemy that must be defeated, he is just a companion and opponent in the Chunin Exam.

Such adversity is also a good opportunity to test yourself. If you can't pass this level, how should you deal with more dangerous situations in the future?

He reached out and took out two soldier food pills from his ninja bag and put them into his mouth. He chewed them a few times and swallowed them. In an instant, he consumed a lot of chakra and was full of energy.

Immediately afterwards, Haruno Sakura took out a huge storage scroll. After untying it, the standard wing armor appeared, and was put on. After a moment of adaptation, the pink-haired girl with sharper eyes said decisively:

"The competition has just begun!"

He quickly formed a few seals, used the chakra scalpel, and transferred the power to the wings on his back. Then he took off with a small jump and hovered close to the ground. The sharp wings whizzed past and wiped out a bunch of ghosts in a few seconds. Shadow monsters shred.

A large amount of damage in a short period of time left these ferocious-looking guys with no time to recover.

"It seems that your power is not unlimited, and you can also be defeated!"

"After all, we are also teammates. If I can't deal with this little gadget, I will be in a difficult position!"

The sound of Kurama Yakumo's chuckle came.

The remains of the monster lying on the ground squirmed together and turned into a humanoid swordsman nearly three meters tall, carrying dark wings, sharp eyes, an eagle-beak-like snout, and holding a dagger in both hands.

"It's this trick again!"

Haruno Sakura looked serious.

Demon Wolf, a very powerful Taki-nin candidate, was defeated by this monster.

"It turns out to be Tengu, and their heritage is still intact!"

Sheng Yu glanced at the face that seemed familiar, but had not been seen for many years.

"No wonder it looks so ghostly and scary!"

"Then...senior, do you know how to deal with it?"

"If you can't find the real body, use the incarnation of obsession or the inheritance of the ancestors in the blood to attack. This thing is not strong, but it is quite insidious. It is very good at finding loopholes in the enemy's mind to attack! By the way, the two swords it holds , be extra careful, if you get stabbed, it will directly damage your spirit, it will be very painful, and it will take a long time to repair it before you can recover!"

"It sounds like a lot of trouble!"

Haruno Sakura, who was constantly adjusting her position in mid-air, said awkwardly,

"I usually look sickly, but I didn't expect her to be so strong!"

"Be careful, Sakura, my summoning time is limited. If you can't win reliably, don't use a lose-lose strategy easily!"

The eager Haruno Sakura was about to attack, but Katsuki lost no time in reminding her.

"I know, but how can you win against such a powerful enemy as Xiaocha without doing something!"

The seemingly tall Tengu incarnation is unexpectedly quite nimble, and can swing the sword with both hands impeccably.

Haruno Sakura changed her position and charged, but was forced back continuously.

"Obviously he is a genjutsu ninja, but why does he look so good at swordsmanship?"

"It's hard to describe the secret. In short, this is the power of money. After all, I am also a rich lady born with a golden key. This little thing is not worth mentioning!"

"Damn rich people!"

She spat lightly and wiped her dirty cheeks with her sleeves without caring about her appearance. Haruno Sakura was still in the mood to joke,

"After the exam, I must treat you to a big dinner!"

"If you can still eat it, I'll have no problem with it!"

The sound coming from an unknown direction fell into my ears, making it impossible to accurately determine the location of the main body.

"Senior Shengyu, haven't you found the entrance to the illusion space yet?"

"Your senior probably can't deal with you anymore!"

The sound close to her ears surprised Haruno Sakura. When she looked back, she saw that the large slug lying on her shoulder had turned into a plain white arm.

With a bang, Haruno Sakura was knocked to the ground by the sudden force, but she still couldn't accept such a sudden change.

"how did you do that?"

"You're too careless, Sakura!"

The tip of Tengu's sword pressed against Haruno Sakura's neck. The moment to decide the winner suddenly came. The overall situation was decided. Kurama Yakumo held the canvas in one hand and the brush in the other as he strolled closer.

"Have you forgotten? I also have an ability called the 'Five Magic Senses', which can unknowingly immerse you in self-righteous illusions. It couldn't be easier, especially when you are unprepared..."

"I see, I was careless, thinking that the illusion physical attack is all!"

"The longer you delay, the less likely you are to win. This place will almost become my 'playground'. If you are bathed in this concentration of illusion chakra, it will be a matter of time before you get tricked..."

In a different scenario, there might have been a fight. Confined to a small area, Haruno Sakura had nowhere to escape.

"Since when?"

"It does not matter!"

Kurama Yakumo withdrew the power of the genjutsu, and the Tengu incarnation dissipated instantly.

"The winner is Kurama Yakumo!"

Morino Ihiki also breathed a sigh of relief. It was too difficult to be the examiner this year. There were powerful monsters one after another. If he was not careful, he, the referee, would make a fool of himself.
