chapter 130 part 2
As he explained, a look of envy flashed in Uchiha Ren's eyes.
He had always wanted to learn the Shadow Clone Jutsu, but the damn thing was truly difficult to master.
Hearing Uchiha Ren's explanation, a look of realization dawned on Neji's face. But before he could fully recover from his surprise, he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet soften. Immediately after, a huge force came from below, and his body sank uncontrollably!
He struggled in terror but found his body was already firmly trapped underground.
Only Neji's head was exposed, a truly miserable sight.
Kakashi walked out from a nearby shadow. "If you don't work together as a team, this will be the fate of all of you."
"Ah~ *snore*... ah~ *snore*..."
Before Kakashi could finish his sentence, he suddenly started snoring.
Neji Hyuga was instantly dumbfounded!
What was happening? Was Kakashi going senile?
Uchiha Ren, however, locked his Sharingan onto Yakumo Kurama, who was painting on a drawing board in the distance. The corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Yakumo Kurama was an anime-original character. Her appearance directly shattered Uchiha Ren's record as the number one genjutsu user.
Yakumo Kurama's ability was a type of Kekkei Genkai. To put it bluntly, she was an enhanced version of Sai.
Her genjutsu manifested as the contents of her drawings. In simple terms, if she drew Konoha Village and then drew thunderclouds in the sky, thunderclouds would appear over the real Konoha.
She had once used this move on the Hokage's office building, causing Tsunade to fly into a rage. This led to the subsequent plotline where Kurenai resigned from her position as a Jonin squad leader to focus on watching over Yakumo Kurama.
Later, Yakumo Kurama used her genjutsu against Kurenai. Kurenai, as Konoha's strongest genjutsu user, was trapped and couldn't escape, ending up in a state several times more pathetic than when she faced Uchiha Ji. This proved that Yakumo Kurama's genjutsu ability surpassed Ji's.
This character was so powerful that she had to be written out of the main storyline. Otherwise, the Infinite Tsukuyomi would look like child's play in front of her. It had the feel of Ma Liang and his magic brush that brings drawings to life.
The enhanced vision of his Three-Tomoe Sharingan allowed Uchiha Ren to see what Yakumo Kurama was painting.
It was a masked ninja standing there foolishly, barely recognizable as Kakashi. Above Kakashi's head hung "zzzzz" bubbles, indicating that Kakashi should be asleep.
This ability was basically equivalent to making words into reality. Uchiha Ren felt it couldn't even be called genjutsu anymore. At the same time, an idea formed in his mind.
If he could get on good terms with her, then on the night of the clan massacre... he could really pull a big one on Itachi!
Thinking of this, Uchiha Ren looked up at Yakumo Kurama, who was tiptoeing lightly towards Kakashi.
This woman was preparing to take advantage of Kakashi's sleep to effortlessly snatch the bells from his hand.
But, as one of Konoha's top Jonin, Kakashi was not so easily dealt with.
Uchiha Ren's Sharingan spun rapidly, locking onto an inconspicuous stone behind the sleeping Kakashi, as well as an almost invisible thread tied to a large tree.
It was predictable that as soon as Yakumo Kurama tiptoed and touched the bells, she would trigger the trap Kakashi had set and be hoisted into the tree.
"He's not under genjutsu. That's a Shadow Clone, too."
Uchiha Ren shouted a warning, and Yakumo Kurama's movements froze.
"Swish~"
A kunai was thrown at Uchiha Ren. He tilted his head slightly to dodge the attack, then casually threw a kunai of his own, forcing Kakashi, who was pulling the rope from the shadows, out into the open.
Kakashi swaggered out and gave everyone a wave. "Yo~ Nice to meet you all for the first time~"
The meaning of his words was obvious.
From the very beginning of the team's assembly, this guy hadn't shown up in person. It had all been his Shadow Clones doing the work.
Neji Hyuga, buried with only his head exposed, spat out a mouthful of dirt. "Hmph! Hey, Uchiha! Has this guy always been this annoying?"
Uchiha Ren shrugged. "What do you think?"
Kakashi squinted his eye and scratched his head. "What a bunch of troublesome kids."
Seeing that she had been tricked, Yakumo Kurama wanted to run back and get her drawing board, completely oblivious to the anomaly at her feet.
Just as her foot touched the trap mechanism hidden in the grass, with a "thwack," a thick rope instantly sprang up from the ground, tightly coiling around her ankle.
Immediately after, her entire body was violently pulled upwards, flying uncontrollably into the air before being hung upside down from the tree.
Because she was wearing a skirt, this sudden turn of events instantly put her in an awkward predicament.
Her skirt swayed in the wind, and her face flushed crimson with a mixture of shame and anger. She struggled desperately to break free from the rope's hold, but it was useless.
Seeing her situation, Uchiha Ren shook his head helplessly. He quickly drew a kunai from his waist pouch, aimed at the rope binding Yakumo Kurama, and threw it forcefully. The kunai cut precisely through the air, and with a "snap," the rope broke.
Yakumo Kurama instantly lost her support and fell straight to the ground.
She clumsily scrambled to her feet, dusted herself off, and was about to grab her drawing board to get revenge on Kakashi when she sensed someone behind her!
She wanted to pull out a kunai for close combat, but Kakashi was too fast; he directly tied Yakumo Kurama up!
Seeing Yakumo Kurama tied up in a way that accentuated her figure, Uchiha Ren couldn't help but curse Kakashi, "What the hell have you been watching all day?! You can't even tie a rope without being so perverted!"
Kakashi didn't respond, instead throwing a kunai at Uchiha Ren!
The battle between the two began!
Uchiha Ren attacked first. He quickly formed hand seals, gathering chakra in his throat, and unleashed a Great Fireball Jutsu!
When Neji Hyuga saw this jutsu, a look of defiance appeared on his face.
Previously, he couldn't handle this jutsu, but now with Revolving Heaven, he was confident he could.
But right now, Neji really didn't want to see Kakashi also being able to deal with it.
Faced with the surging attack, Kakashi remained unhurried. He also quickly formed hand seals.
"Water Style: Water Colliding Wave!"
