From the Chakras response, Kurenai clearly felt that Kuroto had cracked her genjutsu.

And this result shocked her!

According to common sense, even if the enemy can break free of the genjutsu, still they need to use some kind of method to do so.

This can be achieved by disrupting the flow of Chakra, or self-mutilation to stimulate oneself. In short, a method is definitely necessary to break for Genjutsu Dissipation.

But here Kuroto did nothing as such, but was still able to break free of her illusion, which kind of made her really confused.

Kuroto also had some realization of the effect of Genjutsu on him now.

Undoubtedly the Tenseigan like the Byakugan, Sharingan, and Rinnegan is highly resistant to the effect of Genjutsu. If it is an ordinary Genjutsu, he hardly needs to do anything actively, the Tenseigan can passively remove the effects of genjutsu on him.

And the whole process only takes an instant!

After realizing this, Kuroto decided to suppress the joy in his heart for now, as the battle was still not over, and said to Kurenai: Ill give you a piece of advice, if you meet with someone with some kind of Dojutsu ability dont use genjutsu as the primary source of attack against them.

Kurenai stared hard at Kuroto: Why did my genjutsu attack have no effect on you? How did you break free of the effect of genjutsu without using any Genjutsu Dissipation method?

Kurenais loud questioning attracted the attention of many chunin who had not yet participated in their respective battles.

Being the center of focus, Kuroto thought, This is a good opportunity to establish the image of a strong person. so he said lightly, Against a ninja with a strong pupil power, ordinary genjutsu are simply meaningless, as genjutsu technique is of yin chakra nature and the dojutsu kekkai genkai increases the mental strength of a ninja, so the change of yin nature has less effect on them. This is why I said to you before, the reason for your bad luck is that your genjutsu techniques are not much effective against me.

Although understanding the reason behind the failure, but Kurenai isnt the type of person to give up and concede defeat so easily. She snorted at Kurotos words and immediately started printing hand seals,

tiger boartigerhorseox,

Genjutsu: Flower Petal Escape!

whish

As Kurenai cast the technique, signs of a slight breeze blowing through the 9th battle range appeared.

This made Kurenais lips curve, You have now been caught in a genjutsu technique.

Not wasting the opportunity, she went with the flow of the breeze and swooped towards the still Kuroto.

Even when Kurenai was approaching so fast Kuroto still stood motionlessly, it appeared as if was caught in an illusion and seem to be unaware of his surroundings.

But just as the audience thought, that Kurenai has almost won, Kuroto raised his right arm and accurately sealed Kurenais attack route.

You!!!??? Shocked by the sudden response Kurenai couldnt help but mutter. Her attack was blocked at such a close range, this made her stunned on the spot.

Kuroto didnt even bother to reply just turned his body and with a sharp momentum kicked Kurenai in the gut, making the dazed Kurenai fly away while coughing up some blood.

It seems that you still dont understand what I explained a while ago, the passive resistance due to difference in mental strength due to pupil power of dojutsu renders your genjutsu techniques meaningless against me.

Kuroto stated this fact plainly.

Kurenai got up from the ground with a face full of unwillingness, and asked a little desperately, Why?

The genjutsu she uses are all secret and uniques techniques passed down to her from her father, and her proficiency in genjutsu is something she takes great pride in, but today that pride is shattered as a weak glass, in the face of plain facts.

Not only Yuhi Kurenai, but even many other chunin who were watching their battle were also shocked, even Shisui who has already finished his battle with a one-sided victory was also quite surprised after taking notice of the battle.

Kuroto knows that Kurenai also lost her father on the night of the Kyuubis Rebellion. He didnt want to emotionally agitate her too much, but it is an unavoidable fact that unless it is a genjutsu like Kotoamatsukami or Tsukuyomi then they would be pretty ineffective against dojutsu type Kekkai Genkai.

Making Kurenai realize this point earlier in the timeline would be a good thing for her. Therefore, Kuroto said coldly, Its the hard truth, rather than realizing this in the face of an enemy let me tell you from beforehand, as for whether you want to accept it or not is entirely up to you.

Listening to Kurotos tone, Kurenai couldnt help but ask, Can your Byakugan see through my genjutsu techniques?

Kuroto just shrugged and wasnt interested in answering, then he remembered Kurenai was played by Itachi pretty badly, so he decided to kindly remind her, If you encounter an enemy who is truly proficient in Genjutsu kills, dont fight him/her a pure genjutsu battle, especially if the enemy has a dojutsu Kekkai Genkai, otherwise the consequences would be quite unpredictable.

Although pretty upset, Kurenai nodded at Kurotos words silently and decided to admit defeat.

Although she is defeated in this battle, it wasnt without gain for her. On the contrary, this battle made her realize her weakness and understand what type of ninjas naturally restrain her.

On the side, the Sandaime Hokage watched this scene, while pondering over Kurotos words, and then he ordered the Anbu ninja standing next to him, In the last round, arrange a contest between Hyuga Kuroto and Uchiha Shisui.

The Anbu in question was also paying close attention to the match just now so he nodded and said, Yes, it shall be done, Hokage-sama.

After this discussion, the next matches began, one-by-one, the contestants were being screened out.

Unsurprisingly, Kuroto won all the next 2 rounds and therefore was qualified to enter the final round of assessment.

By now only 30 Chunin left in the venue.

Among these 30 chunin ninjas, the only figures left of the same generation as Kuroto were Might Guy, Sarutobi Asuma, and the much younger Uchiha Shisui, as for the other classmates, they all got eliminated.

Asuma had already anticipated Kurotos and Shisuis winning streak but he was surprised when Might Guy, who was considered another of those tail of the crane students in their academy days also won three games in a row, and he praised Guy, Guy, it appears youve also made great progress!

Guy was obviously very happy, he stood in his signature pose, showing his shining white teeth, and said with an energetic laugh, Ha ha ha ha, I am Konohas Blue Beast, obviously I am going t be strong!

Seeing all the chunin ninjas present looking at them with a weird expression because of being attracted by Guys loud laughs, Asuma waved his hands in embarrassment: Dont look at me like that, I dont know him, I really dont know him!

At this time, Sandaime Hokage-sama came over slowly while smoking from a tobacco pipe.

All the Chunin present gave their salute to Hokage sama.

Sandaime-sama smiled and said, All the people present here are some of the best chunin in this village. As the Hokage, I cant express in words how proud I am of all of you. However, the number of spots available for the promotion to Tokubetsu Jonin is limited, and therefore, we still need to go through a final round of assessment.

As Hokage-sama stated this everyones faces were now solemn.

Being selected up to this point definitely means that all the remaining 30 Chunin are outstanding in strength, it has hard to guarantee victory, therefore the final round of assessment will inevitably have some fierce confrontations.

Ahem

After a slight cough, Sandaime sama announced, Lets start the final round of assessment.

The matchups for the final rounds were also done by drawing lots, and the details for the match came out very quickly, in the first match of the final round the participant to duke out are: Hyuga Kuroto vs Uchiha Shisui!

Seeing the result of the draw, Kuroto wasnt much surprised, obviously, he is smart enough to know just how fair the drawing process, manipulating the matchups is indispensable for the officers and is beyond what he can interfere with. It is also necessary for seniors to judge the candidates.

Shisui saw also stunned momentarily and then returned to a calm self.

However, unlike the calm Kuroto and Shisui, others present were obviously very interested in the results of this confrontation.

As the two great dojutsu of the Konoha Village, which one of the Sharingan or the Byakugan is stronger or weaker, this topic has always been a topic of repeated discussion in the village. Therefore, the fight between Hyuga Kuroto and Uchiha Shisui definitely attracted everyones interest.

There was no need to think too much, Kuroto gently leaped and landed on the 1st battle range.

On the other hand, Shisui walked in slowly.

As soon as the two sides stood opposite to each other, Kuroto said, As Ive mentioned before I am curious to see the strength of the most genius Uchiha of this generation, additionally I am also quite interested in facing the Sharingan, I hope you wont let me down.

And as soon as the signal was given, the fight begins
