Even Tsunade herself couldn't help but agree that no one in the class who got beaten up was stronger than Jiraiya.

Especially since this guy knows he'll get beaten up, yet he still provokes others with his face that looks like he'll get punched. Having him in the team provides a great deal of protection.

Chapter 29 Rules: Determined by the Strong

"Class Seven".

At that moment, the still-young Shimura Danzo walked to the door and called out briefly.

Sure enough, it was that strange guy who bought the book yesterday.

Akabane sighed inwardly, feeling sorrow for the days to come.

"gone."

Zi Xiao stood up and walked out first.

Danzo did not wait; by the time they reached the door, Danzo had already disappeared at the end of the corridor.

When they reached the corner, they found that Danzo had disappeared.

"No way, it's starting already?"

Akabane sighed helplessly.

"This is a test; only by finding him can we become his students."

Mitarashi Shishou said in a deep voice.

"Let's go ahead and take a look; there's bound to be some clues."

Akabane said calmly.

Danzo would not leave behind an unsolvable puzzle, because the other party was only testing them, not deliberately refusing to accept disciples.

Upon reaching the stairwell, Mitarashi Shishou scanned the surroundings, quickly fixing her gaze on a corner, and said, "Lord Danzo left us a clue."

This is a piece of cloth, clearly left behind on purpose.

Sakumo Hatake bit his finger, then pressed his hands together in a mudra and onto the ground.

A psychic spell appeared, followed by a dog that appeared before the group. Although it was still very young, it was indeed a dog.

"Wolf Fang, help us find the owner of this cloth."

"Wang Wang."

The puppy quickly moved forward on all fours, continuing to move along the path.

Akabane was immediately relieved. These teammates were all reliable, and he wasn't worried about not being able to find Shimura Danzo. He could happily slack off again.

Upon reaching the upper floor, Wolf Fang stopped.

"untie!"

"There's probably another trap on the second floor, everyone be careful."

Mitarashi Shishou formed hand seals, and Wolf Fang instantly rose again and headed upstairs.

"It seems to be an illusion, which is my specialty."

Akabane, without hesitation, stepped into the illusionary trap first. The moment he stepped in, dozens of shuriken flew towards him.

"Illusion - Release".

With his powerful mental strength, he instantly dispelled the illusion, which was not very strong.

"continue."

The group went upstairs and figured it out. The teaching building had five floors, and they estimated that there was a question on each floor. If they could solve them all, they would be able to see Shimura Danzo.

The third and fourth levels were full of traps, but everyone passed through them without any trouble.

"The third layer is a shuriken trap, the fourth layer is a combination of illusion and shuriken trap, and the fifth layer may be even more dangerous. Everyone be prepared."

Mitarashi Shishou said with a solemn expression.

The first four levels are not difficult; they test one's insight, survival skills, and teamwork. Based on this, the fifth level might be the real battle.

How strong was Danzo Shimura?

With the war over, Danzo was arguably the greatest figure in Konoha during this era, second only to the Third Hokage.

Let alone those three genin, even three chunin wouldn't be able to stop them.

Akabane may seem lazy, but he is actually extremely vigilant.

They went from the fourth floor to the fifth-floor rooftop. There were no traps or illusions, only a figure carrying a knife.

"I don't have a bell here, only an avatar. The condition is simple: this avatar will only make one move, and the survivor will advance."

"Of course, I've given you another way!"

Danzo's tone turned icy and filled with murderous intent as he finished speaking.

The terrifying killing intent made the three feel like they had thorns in their backs, and countless fears arose in their hearts.

"on!"

Mitarashi Shishou instantly made his move, sending several shuriken flying towards Danzo.

however……

"Konoha Style Swordsmanship: Dance of the Crescent Moon".

As soon as the voice fell, Danzo had already split into three, attacking them from three different directions.

"Throw a smoke bomb."

All three were clones, but Akabane didn't hesitate to have them throw out smoke bombs.

Without hesitation, Zixiao and Shuomao each threw a smoke bomb on the ground, instantly enveloping the surrounding area in smoke and dust.

"madness."

Danzo's indifferent voice came from outside the smoke.

Such smoke might obscure the vision of an ordinary ninja, but for a master like him, even the Hidden Mist Technique couldn't block his senses, let alone a mere smoke bomb.

He could sense a figure moving upwards.

however……

Below, the presence of three people could still be felt.

Shadow clone?

Of the three, only one could use shadow clones. Danzo understood what was going on, but he didn't intend to pay attention to it.

Akabane's illusion magic is very strong, but you still need to find him, and he could completely choose not to target Akabane.

But when the smoke cleared, three identical figures stood in the center of the rooftop, and there was another person in the shadows, it was unclear whether he was a clone or the real person.

"Making good use of the rules is commendable."

Laughter rang out, but the killing intent grew even more intense. The three clones continued their relentless attack, hurtling towards the three.

Danzo was observing the emotions, and all three of them knew it, but with such a powerful killing intent, who could hold back without revealing the slightest flaw?

A single slash, as swift as lightning, struck.

Target – the three players on the field!

There's no rule that a single strike can only kill one person; Danzo's killing intent was genuine, and his attacks were also aimed at a genuine target.

The instant the blade struck, Akabane formed hand seals: "Illusion Technique: Naraku's Appearance Technique."

The hand seals were formed quickly, instantly hitting Danzo, but the opponent immediately broke the illusion. However, that one instant was enough for everyone to react.

Substitution!

As the blade fell, the replaced shadow clone shattered into fragments.

At the same time, Sakumo Hatake drew his short sword, his Hatake-ryu swordsmanship as swift as lightning, and charged towards Danzo.

Zi Xiao paused for a moment, then acted without hesitation, forming hand seals.

"Fire Release·Dragon Fire Technique!"

Sakumo's sword, Shishou's fire, and Akabane's potential use of the Kurama clan's illusion techniques from the shadows—this is indeed a crisis for Danzo.

however……

"Wind Escape·Great Breakthrough."

It was a C-rank ninjutsu, but when Danzo exhaled it, it resembled a terrifying tornado, with wind blades hidden within the wind.

It swept everything away, unstoppable. Shuo Mao and Zi Xiao tried to dodge, but it was too late.

Akabane was under an illusion, and although he broke free in time, the sword was already upon him.

Just as the three of them were facing a life-threatening crisis, everything vanished in an instant.

"You've passed."

The clones disappeared, and on Sakumo and Shishou's side, with Danzo's appearance, the storm created by the Wind Release ninjutsu could not even take half a step forward and gradually disappeared without a trace.

madman!

Chi Yu's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Just a second before the blade was right in front of him, he could feel the chilling coldness of the blade and the bone-chilling killing intent.

"Thank you teacher."

Zixiao bowed deeply to Danzang with utmost respect.

Akabane emerged from the shadows and stood in a row with Sakumo and Shishou.

"That was my first lesson: never believe the rules the enemy tells you, because they can overturn them at any time."

Danzo said calmly.

"The rules are set by the strong."

Shuo Mao had a clear understanding of the truth.

"I can go back on the rules and make a second or third move, but I cannot kill you, because I am subject to the rules of Konoha."

Danzo continued.

Akabane nodded to show he understood. Danzo at this time was indeed different. He still had the Will of Fire and a bottom line in his heart, unlike the later Danzo who was used to darkness and unscrupulous.

That's all for today. We'll begin our mission tomorrow.

The first lesson ended in a way that Akabane never expected.

Unlike Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo's teaching was simple and brutal, leaving a deep impression on Akabane.

Chapter 30 This person really has a problem.

"I'm off. Looks like I'll have to continue my cultivation when I get back."

Zi Xiao sighed softly.

Just one lesson was enough to show that this teacher is difficult to get along with, and life in the future is likely to be a nightmare.

Sakumo didn't speak, but he gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, clearly dissatisfied with today's outcome.

"I need to go back and rest now. I still have to draw comics. I'm so tired..."

Akabane said, yawning.

How dare you say you're tired?

The two listened in silence for a while. The person who sent a clone to do the work should not be qualified to say that word.

Akabane's Shadow Clone Technique is no secret among the many clans of Konoha, as the Third Hokage has already publicly revealed this technique; however, the risks involved have also been disclosed.

It's not just about physical strength and chakra reserves; you also need formidable mental strength, otherwise you might not be able to withstand the terrifying backlash after the shadow clones dissipate.

Even if ordinary people learn the Shadow Clone Technique, they still need to be careful when using this skill. At least Zixiao and Shuomao can only look on with envy.

Back home, Akabane's clone drew the seventh chapter, while he lay in bed with his eyes closed to rest.

"The Naruto world is really dangerous; I almost died while taking an exam."
