Chapter Twenty Two: Define Prodigy
Third Person POV
______________________
Both Kunochi landed infront of each other.
Temari a dirty blonde haired Kunochi of the sand wore a mocking smirk as she stared the younger red haired shinobi down.
Akumi on the other hand kept a neutral expression her mind calculating how to defeat the Kunochi and leave a lasting impression on the Judges and the Nobles watching the fight.
From what she had gathered from the last exam she knew Teamari was a wind style ninja whilst she was a earth natured shinobi, she also realized Temari was a long ranged ninja and that she used her fan to misdirect any thrown object meaning she would use her katana in this match.
Genma cleared his throat and took a deep breath. "hajime." he called out.
Akumi made a shadow clone directly behind her and pulled it inside of her, to civilian and those with untrained eyes it seemed that all she did was make a small smoke cloud to the rest they saw a glimpse of the shadow clone and knew to expect it to come in play later on.
Akumi also wasn't one to call out her attacks since she liked the element of surprise.
That was the spark that began the match. Temari brought her fan out getting ready to block as Akumi launched herself at her.
The crowd roared in excitement. None of the fights had been boring to watch thus far and the ones that had been were overturned by the climax of the fight and the previous boring parts of the fight that had dragged out were forgotten.
Temari moved quickly as Akumi's sword moved rapidly nearly killing her.
While Temari was busy dodging and blocking akumi's real plan started.
Her clone pulled her hands outside of her body and quickly began making long sequences of handsigns.
The shinobi crowd watched in amusement as the noticed the handsigns for genjutsu. The civilians only knew that when handsigns were involved it was usually Ninjutsu and whatever ninjutsu that took that many handsigns was something big.
Akumi and Temari were moving quickly neither of them seemed to be gaining the upper hand and both of their taijutsu was gaining cheers from the crowd.
Temari jumped back and swung her fan sending a gust of wind to akumi the wind left small cuts scattered all over akumi's body.
"Doton- ground spikes!" Akumi yelled as she used chakra to keep her feet on the ground. Temari was forced to dodge the spikes and sent another gust of wind hoping to keep akumi away.
Akumi dodged and was back to closing the distance between Temari and herself.
Akumi's clone never stopped making handsigns. After a sequence it would stop for a second and began the next sequence, there was seven different sequences that she kept repeating. The hands moved keeping out of Temari' s line of sight.
Kurenai, konoha' s genjutsu mistresses watched in amusement and excitement. She was amazed at how akumi was weaving a genjutsu of such a large scale without back up and I'm the midst of a battle. Not only that she was using seven small subtle genjutsu's to weave a large multilayer genjutsu the amount of layers she was adding was ridiculous and it had Kurenai on edge.
"Kakashi what kind of things have you been teaching your students?" She whispered to herself in shock three out of four members in team seven were passing the exam with flying colors.
Gai grinned as he watched his rivals genin triumph through the exam.
The rest of the rookies watched in awe at the battle. Temari was having a hard time with Akumi.
The longer the battle went on the less she could keep up but akumi wasn't even winded.
Akumi had the advantage of chakra that allowed her to keep going nonstop.
The crowd roared and cheered as they fought in close range when suddenly Temari' s body came to a sudden halt the moment akumi's clone pulled itself out of her body.
The Clone hovered over akumi's body. But the only thing Temari saw was the clone ripping it's way out of her body, the akumi she had been fighting becoming a limp vessel.
The thing that had ripped it's way out of akumi's body resembled the young red haired girl but her skin was peeled back and bubbled with acid burns. It had a wicked smile spread across its face her eyelids were peeled back and it was approaching her.
Temari tried to step back but her body was not responding well.
Temari felt a sharp pain in her abdomen her eyes slowly trailed down to see a kunai being pushed into her stomach.
"The Procter won't stop me, surrendering won't help you, all I want is to see you squirm in pain." the mangled body spoke as she slowly dragged the kunai.
" I'm going to show the world the cute little goodies you have hidden inside your body."
Temari tried to dispel the genjutsu she moved her chakra and did the handsigns but nothing happened.
'It's not a genjutsu, it's not a genjutsu!' she tried to scream out but she couldn't speak her vocal cords seeming to go numb as she tried to scream. Or maybe it was that she couldn't hear herself screaming that sent her in a frenzy.
She kept dispelling the genjutsu but nothing happened.
She slowly glanced at the Procter he was standing motion less with a stoic expression on his face a glazed look over his eyes.
Her breathing became labored as she noticed that the stadium was quiet they were all watching her silently the same stoic expression on their face.
She could feel the cold blade moving as she still tried to dispel the genjutsu but by now a cold wave of fear ran through her as she realized that this was her new reality.
She struggled but her body seemed to be held down by the monster that was torturing her.
She was screaming and trying to pull away the pain filled her senses. "I surrender! please please ahhhhhh !" she screamed in terror as she began to cry.
'I don't want to die,I don't want to die!' She screamed but she couldn't hear her own voice, her throat felt rasp as she screeched till her voice was hoarse.
The aching pain began to fade and the world around her seemed to crack. Her body shuddered and shook as her vision went black . The genjutsu had been strong enough to cause her to vomit and then fall unconcious
Everyone else saw akumi disarm then trap Temari who hadn't moved much after making the handsigns to dispel genjutsu.
That and that suddenly Temari let out a shriek her body began shaking and vomiting as she began to have a seizure followed by her pleads and surrender.
All akumi did was hold her securely with her chains until the Procter called the match.
The crowd roared at the ending most not knowing what the hell akumi did to cause the girl to loose her mind.
Akumi sighed and walked back to the waiting area.
The genjutsu she had used had been so complex and so layered that no matter how much she dispelled she would still find herself under the same genjutsu but just another layer of it.
"That was quite a feat. How many layer of that same jutsu did you make?" Kurenai walked up to akumi.
Kurenai had never had a mission with akumi but she had heard of her. The young prodigy who refused to be promoted, Kurenai had come to realize prodigy wasn't a name used lightly in this case.
"There were seven genjutsu parts. I made each genjutsu eleven times so there were seventy seven layers and she only managed to dispel Seventeen of them." Akumi stated and Kurenai stared at her wide eyed.
"Amazing." she muttered to herself , she couldn't help but feel relief that it wasn't one of her genin that had faced her.
Even if they were trained by her to recognize genjutsu's the amount of stress and mental strength to dispel 77 genjutsu's in seconds to be able to move and attack freely was something even a jonin would have trouble doing. Also who would expect 77 genjutsu's people usually give up after the 3rd one.
Temari was carried out in a stretcher and the next match was called.
The crowd was waiting excitedly for the last Uchiha to fight the Kazekages son.
Akumi looked around and noticed Sasuke hadn't arrived yet and that dosu never showed up.
"where's Sasuke and did dosu ever come?" She grumbled and sakura was taken back.
"He should be here." Sakura mumbled looking around.
Garra stood in the middle of the arena waiting for Sasuke when a sudden gush of leaves came.
Sasuke and Kakashi stood back to back, lucky bastards had the last match of the first round.
Kakashi whispered something to Sasuke before coming to meet us at the waiting section.
Akumi pov_____
"So who's passed so far?" He asked with a closed eye smile.
I rolled my eyes. "Naruto passed and defeated Neji. Sakura almost passed but was outwitted by Shikamaru. I passed mine easily " I stated as I looked down at the fight.
They were circling around each other displaying their distaste and probably talking shit to piss each other off.
Sasuke quickly attacked Garra his speed had improved alot since the last time I'd seen him fight.
"Kakashi-sensei you can't let them fight!" Naruto yelled with Shikamaru hot on his heels.
"That Garra guy, there's something wrong with him." Shikamaru stated and I frowned.
" What do you mean?" I asked slightly concerned. "He, He isn't afraid to kill people and he's very unstable." Naruto stated.
"I know, I already talked to Sasuke about forfeiting if he starts becoming unstable and I've been training him to fight Garra specifically." Kakashi sensei stated as we watched Sasuke climb the side of the building and start the chidori.
I watched the handsigns. Ox, Rabbit Monkey. I memorized the sequence for future reference and down Sasuke went his chidori clashing against Garra's sand dome.
The crowd was silent and I felt a heavy atmosphere. I slowly pushed my chakra through me and notices Naruto falling asleep.
I heard a loud explosion go off and the ground shook. "The village is under siege !" a chunin yelled out.
"Naruto wake up we have to evacuate the arena!" I yelled as I sent a pulse of chakra through my brother dispelling the jutsu.
Kakashi-sensei instantly joined the fight. Sakura and I began waking up any shinobi that was trapped under the genjutsu.
"I have a mission for you. Aku-" kakashi sensei was cut off by an anbu landing neat us.
"Uzumaki Akumi, Jiraya has ordered you to come to the front lines. your mastery in chakra chains is of need to fight against the giant snake summons." he spoke, i quickly gritted my teeth.
"Naruto take care, sakura watch over my troublesome brother." I say and she nodded. "I'll watch over him akumi-chan."
I ran off following the anbu to the gates. I let my golden chains appear and whip down on the closest snake summon.
I land on a roof top and tug harshly as I wrap the chains around the snake holding it in place as the other shinobi attacked it to make it disappear.
"Akumi, make sure to grab as many of them as you can." Lord Jiraya yells as he used his oil jutsu to soak the snakes I held onto.
"hai!" I yelled out slightly irritated by his appearance. I let a fee more chains develop and start attacking the snakes.
Two anbu helped keep me protected as I fought and held down the snake summons. since they were trying to strike me down in order to stop our advancement in clearing out the summons.
I popped a few solider pills in my mouth in hopes that it kept my chakra brimming and that the side effects wouldn't kick in too hard.
sand and sound shinobi were pouring in from the damaged gates but our shinobi were striking them down quickly.
I managed to possess a couple bodies and use their chakra systems till I killed them to lower my own chakra exhaustion.
The entire village was a battlefield and all of us were quick at killing our enemies.
I lost count of how many people I killed their faces and deaths becoming a blur.
I was breathing heavily when the sand and sound shinobi began retreating.
Jiraya glanced at me. "You know I thought Naruto was exaggerating when he called you a prodigy or when they called you the best of your generation." he stated, I acted like I was ignoring him. That bastard sent my brother to the hospital for days.
"You were basically slaughtering Jonin level ninja. Your tactics and your kenjutsu, they might start calling you the second red death of konoha." he stated glancing at me.
I looked down, I don't want to be acknowledged for my ability to kill people. Everyone has already been calling me a prodigy in the arts of killing since I was a child..... and it's not like I wanted to be a shinobi either.
The choice had been become a shinobi or stay in this cell for murdering citizens of konoha.
It was hard to say no when you're locked in a cell and don't even know what shinobi do so you agree on the closest thing to freedom.
"I'm already dubbed Demon spawn and child murder so another addition to the names doesn't matter ." I grumble sheathing my sword.
"we should go report to the old man anyway." I grumble tiring to go to the Hokage tower.
