Traning Field – R3, 05:29:58 AM
Splash…
Watatsumi nodded in appreciation as the water balloon in his hand burst. It hasn't even been a few hours since he started with the first step of the Rasengan Practice and it has already been perfectly completed.
'Now on to the next step…' – Watatsumi thought and took out a rubber ball from a storage scroll.
"Huh…?" – But before he could start with the next step, suddenly he felt a fragrant odor. Then suddenly vines started to sprout out of the ground from behind him and entangled around his left calf, then the right calf, then the wrist, and then the other wrist, and finally around his neck.
'Akame's Genjutsu huh?' – Watatsumi thought with a calm expression. He doesn't plan on using the Tenseigan, as such Genjutsu did affect him, albeit only slightly. And since this is a test, he has to give them enough opportunity to be able to show their capabilities otherwise this will all be pointless.
'The sight of the beautiful cherry blossom trees, the sound of the wisp of wind, the sense of touch and pain from these vines trapping me, the fragrance of the falling Sakura petals, and the sense of balance because of my movements being restricted… Her Genjutsu proficiency has improved drastically from the last time… it is affecting all five senses as well as the sense of balance.' – this was Watatsumi's thought.
"Let's end this Captain!" – Akame suddenly appeared on the tree binding Watatsumi and lunged her Kunai at him.
"I can't deny that you have improved greatly since our last battle, but if you think that this alone would be enough, then you are sorely mistaken! It wouldn't be this easy!" – Watatsumi said and disrupted his chakra flow, "Kai!"
Instantly the Genjutsu tree binding him disappeared and the scenery changed, but instead of returning back to the forest, Watatsumi found himself falling through the clouds, "Huh? A two-layered Genjutsu… And I have to admire their skills for giving me the feeling as if I am really falling from such a height…"
"Kai!" – Watatsumi again disrupted his chakra… but again, instead of returning back to the forest, he found himself somewhere else… this time it was a closed room filled with thousands of Chinese red-headed centipede… and Watatsumi was at the center of the room, his arms, and legs bound on a metal Chair with metal bearings, and those thousands of red-headed centipede crawling all over him, some going inside his mouth, inside his nose, inside his both ears, pinching his eyes, legs, stomach… overall, it was way too disgusting and painful for Watatsumi to keep ignoring it, as these centipedes had even entered inside his body and were crawling and biting him all over, "Kai!"
Again, instead of returning back to the forest, Watatsumi found himself in an acid hot spring, where something probably a hand was constantly pulling him inside, to drown him in the acid lake which was also burning his body, "Kai!"
Tied on a large stake bare feet with salted water pouring over it, then a few goats appear and started licking his feet, "Kai!"
And again, being eaten by chimera ants, "Kai!"
Again, his body turning something akin to a monster "Kai!"
Again, bound in Shackling Stakes, "Kai!"
Again, Crows turning into shuriken and impaling him, "Kai!"
Body turning into paper "Kai!"
Drowning in the depths of the ocean and unable to breathe, "Kai!"
Nothing except for darkness, "Kai!"
Nothing except for whiteness, "Kai!"
Burning to death with Black Flames of Hell, "Kai!"
Freezing eternally, "Kai!"
In a small room with no exit and all the 6 walls converging inside, "Kai!"
…
…
…
…
…
Witnessing Yui's death, "Damn it to all to hell! KAI!"
…
P.O.V. Change:
"Did it take effect?" – Rabbit asked to no one, but he did hear a voice in his ear, "The Multilayered Cyclic Genjutsu that both I and Akame worked together to cast on Captain wouldn't be able to hold him for very long, he has already broken free of over 77 Genjutsu… he is affected somewhat but it's not to such an extent… we don't have enough chakra to keep up with his pace of freeing himself, hurry up we don't have much time, this is the best opportunity for us to steal that scroll from Captain."
"Got it…" x 2 – Both Rabbit and Hana nodded, and from two sides rushed at Watatsumi, but what's strange is that only Hana's figure was visible, Rabbit's figure was invisible.
"Cough… spurt…!" – Akame coughed out blood, "Be careful, he has freed himself from all the Genjutsu…"
Hana said, "Don't worry, from the looks of it, it did have some mental trauma on him… it should take him a moment to regain his sense of balance, at that moment I will fight him…"
"Weasel… mess with his vision, make it difficult for him to find the real Rabbit!" – Akame ordered Weasel.
"On it!" – Weasel nodded, and the crow sitting on the tree branch started to work.
On one hand, Hana had already reached close to Watatsumi and jumped into the air, she then swung her sword in a circular motion leaving a trace of afterimages behind, then she rushed at Watatsumi to deliver a blow, 'Oborozukiyo!' (Hazy Moon Night)
On the other hand, there were also several invisible Rabbits closing in on Watatsumi, 'Mizakuzi no Mai' (Dance of the Crescent Moon)
…
P.O.V Change
"Huff huff huff huff… I have to say that was way beyond what I had initially expected, and I am seriously impressed but it's all pointless!" – Watatsumi spoke in a cold tone, 'Hakkesho Kaiten!' (Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven!).
Instantly, a protective shield of spinning chakra appeared around Watatsumi which repelled both Hana and the invisible rabbit, as well as destroyed the two invisible Kage Bushin of Rabbit.
Poof… Poof…
Plop… Plop…
The moment, spinning chakra around Watatsumi disappeared, Weasel, made his next move.
'Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!' (Fire Release: Fireball Technique!)
Instantly a large fireball rushed towards Watatsumi.
Akame and Rabbit also used that opportunity to cut off his escape root
Whiish whiish whiish whiish whiish whiish,
Watatsumi noticed the fireball, and he also noticed the several shurikens coming towards him, instead of resisting them, he flickered from his position at a speed faster than that of shuriken and kunai and appeared on the other side.
Tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk
Whiish whiish whiish whiish whiish whiish
Instantly more shuriken kept coming at him, Watatsumi also took out a few shurikens from his sleeves and started a Shurikenjutsu battle with Weasel.
Akame and Hana also rushed at him with a Kunai and Sword in their hands in order to overwhelm him with their numbers.
Ding… Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding
A battle of Shurikenjutsu, Kentutsu, and Taijutsu started…
Whiish Whiish whiish whiish whiish whiish whiish whiish
With Watatsumi now in a fight against Akame and Hana, Weasel made his next move.
Eight shurikens were thrown by Weasel that after a series of precisely guided collisions, one shuriken managed to cut the strap of Watatsumi's shinobi bag.
Cut…
Plop…
Slash… Smash…
The next moment, Hana's swords that had been cut into several pieces fell on the ground, and the next moment, Akame who had been kicked in the gut by Suijin flew out and collided with the tree…
Rabbit said while taking out the scroll from inside of Watatsumi's shinobi bag, "Alright, captain cough*, here's the scroll, I have it in my hand!" – at some point during the battle he had managed to sneak up near Watatsumi by using his invisibility, and Weasel's Genjutsu on him to his advantage.
"Hmm… I guess you did manage to take my Shinobi bag, but are you sure that the scroll you hold is the right one?" – Watatsumi questioned with a smirk.
Weasel, Akame, and Hana instantly realized it, "No, that's a trap!"
Poof…
But it was already too late, as Watatsumi weaved the hand signs, and instantly white smoke covered Rabbit's figure. When the smoke cleared, it revealed Rabbit's body tightly bound by a snake.
The very next moment, a scroll fell down from the sky and was caught by Watatsumi with his left hand.
Holding the scroll in his hand, Watatsumi said, "Well then what now…? Still want to continue or would you like to retreat and make another attempt?"
'Damn it, the gap between us has not only decreased but has increased several times over the years…' – Akame cursed inwardly, but she still issued the order, "Retreat!"
With her order, the four instantly retreated, and Watatsumi started to walk away from this place, 'I wonder how long will it take for them to realize the real meaning of this test, or will they even realize it? I guess I am going to play around with them for some time. Let's see what they are going to do in their next attempt, it's fun…'
