He didn’t even knowwhenhe’d fallen under Yakumo’s Genjutsu—orhowhe’d lost. Everything had ended before he even realized it had begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tayuya felt a chill run down her spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yakumo was terrifying—perhaps even more than Naruto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least against Naruto, Kimimaro could fight back. He couldresist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But here... he hadn’t even moved. He juststood thereuntil he lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight unsettled everyone watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As someone who prided herself on her Genjutsu talent, Tayuya could only admit the truth: Yakumo’s illusions weren’t at a Genin’s level—they wereJōnin-tier, at the very least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kimimaro, it’s not your fault,\" Jugo said softly, trying to console him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kimimaro opened his mouth, but no words came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always been proud—the elite among elites—yet now, he had suffered two consecutive defeats. His confidence was shaken to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke watched him quietly, a flicker of understanding in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew exactly what Kimimaro was feeling—because he’d been there himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, despite mastering Lightning Release, Sasuke wasn’t confident he could handle Yakumo’s Genjutsu either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe only the Three-Tomoe Sharingan will be enough,he thought grimly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The second match of the second round—Sakura Haruno versus Uchiha Sasuke,\" Kitazawa announced, raising an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yakumo vs. Kimimaro had been deliberate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This pairing... was pure coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Sakura blinked. \"S–Sasuke-kun’s my opponent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beat of silence. Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sakura, you can do it!\" Ino called out dramatically, smirking from the sidelines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sakura, you’re a Water Release user—that’s perfect against his Fire Release! You can totally win!\" Kiba added with a grin, clearly enjoying the chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed,\" Shino said evenly, adjusting his glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sakura, don’t lose your youth!\" Naruto declared, giving her a gleaming thumbs-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You might actually have a chance!\" Tenten chimed in encouragingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sakura shot Ino a murderous glare.This is all your fault for starting this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tayuya, meanwhile, stared blankly at the group. From her perspective, the power gap between Sakura and Sasuke was an ocean wide.Why are they all pretending this is even close?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait for me, Sasuke-kun!\" Sakura hurried onto the field after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Begin!\" Kitazawa’s voice signaled the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire Release: Great Fireball!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke didn’t hesitate—he tilted his head back and exhaled a blazing sphere of flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sakura’s hands blurred through seals. Chakra surged, and a roaring dragon of water burst forth, colliding with the fireball mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafeningboom!filled the arena. Steam exploded outward, blanketing the field in thick mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke’s Two-Tomoe Sharingan spun to life, effortlessly piercing the haze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Hidden Mist Village’s secret technique, this was ordinary steam—and the Sharingan saw through it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spotted her chakra signature instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of movement caught his eye—a residual stream of water still rushing toward him from the shattered dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke raised an eyebrow and leaped aside, dodging the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water Release: Water Bullet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sakura pressed her fingers together beside her lips and spat a concentrated jet of high-pressure water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke’s feet flared with chakra—Body Flicker!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t retreat. Headvanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weaving through the torrent in a swift, serpentine motion, he drew the Sword of the Thunder God, lightning crackling along its blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blur, he appeared in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tip of his sword stopped cold at her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sakura froze, eyes wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tense silence fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected,\" Kiba sighed. \"She didn’t stand a chance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She was never going to,\" Shikamaru said with a lazy smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But her strength’s improved a lot,\" Tenten noted sincerely. \"If I fought her now, I’m not sure I’d win so easily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ino clenched her fists, frustration bubbling inside her. Six words echoed in her mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa-sensei, save me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Losing to Sakura still stung. Watching her close the gap this fast—it was unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She made a silent decision right there: after the monthly exam, she was going straight to Kitazawa for special training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sakura had Kosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thenshewould have Kitazawa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The third match of the second round—Tayuya versus Shino Aburame,\" Kitazawa’s calm voice cut through the chatter of the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally, it’s my turn again!\" Tayuya’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was her chance to redeem herself—to prove that her instant defeat before had been a fluke. Even if she couldn’t win, she refused to losemiserablyagain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She strode into the arena, flute at her waist, confidence rekindled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shino followed, quiet and unreadable as always.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tayuya narrowed her eyes, recalling his earlier match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>HisKikaichuhad been relentless—strong in both offense and defense, and able to drain chakra like a leech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Troublesome, yes. But not unbeatable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summoning Jutsu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tayuya slammed her hand onto the ground the moment the match began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gust of chilling wind blew through the training field as smoke erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it cleared, three hulking figures stood behind her—the Nuki Oni.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of them towered like demons from folklore, their grotesque bodies covered in rough armor-like skin, eyes gleaming with feral light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those must be the Nuki Oni Tayuya mentioned!\" Ino gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They look way stronger than I expected,\" Kiba muttered, feeling an odd twinge of anxiety. \"Their size is about the same as my Three-Headed Hellhound...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe theyjust lookstrong,\" Sakura said skeptically, still haunted by Tayuya’s embarrassing loss to Hinata.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto leaned forward, eyes wide. \"Whoa! Those are awesome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Naruto’s focus is alwaysunique,\" Shikamaru sighed, voice perfectly neutral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re too ugly,\" Sasuke said flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenten crossed her arms. \"So what if they’re ugly? Power’s power! My Shiromari isn’t exactly cute either!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s focus on the match,\" Neji interjected, ending the tangent before it spiraled further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demonic Flute: Phantom Sound Chains!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tayuya raised her flute and began to play. The haunting melody rippled through the air, carrying invisible chakra threads that wrapped around the Nuki Oni.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground quaked as the leftmost Oni swung its massive wooden club down toward Shino.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secret Technique: Insect Wall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shino’s sleeves burst open, and a dense black cloud of Kikaichu surged out, forming a living barrier that intercepted the blow mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact sent a tremor through the earth, dust scattering in waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tayuya frowned. Her melody shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle Oni’s right arm flexed—its bone claws gleaming as it slashed across the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secret Technique: Insect Wall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shino raised another defense, but this time the Oni’ssecondclaw came swinging in from the opposite side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shino leapt clear, his coat rippling in the shockwave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secret Technique: Insect Cocoon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fresh Kikaichu poured from his sleeves, replacing those crushed in the assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground split as the Oni’s claws smashed down again—and then the third Oni, the armless one, lunged forward, spinning its massive body like a boulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its sheer weight blotted out the sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secret Technique: Insect Sphere!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousands of insects exploded outward, clinging to the Oni’s back. The creature let out a guttural roar as its chakra was rapidly drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not good,\" Tayuya hissed, quickly changing her tune. The Nuki Oni twisted violently, slamming itself against the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Kikaichu, crushed under its enormous body, were wiped out in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is Shino... losing?\" Sakura murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tayuya wasn’t bluffing,\" Ino said seriously. \"Those summons are monsters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But summons aren’t the key,\" Shikamaru interjected, narrowing his eyes. \"The key isTayuya herself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly,\" Neji said. \"Defeat the summoner, and the beasts disappear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiba frowned. \"Then why hasn’t Shino gone for her yet? He must have a plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikamaru’s gaze flickered—and then it hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that’s it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered the Jōmyō Clan’s techniques—the forbidden scrolls Kitazawa had given to Shino.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa!\" Naruto’s shout broke through the tension. \"What’s that giant bee!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low, echoing buzz filled the air as an enormous Queen Bee descended, her wings beating like thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Jōmyō Clan’s Queen Bee,\" Shikamaru muttered, smirking. \"Just as I thought.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tayuya’s eyes widened.Another summoning beast? How many insects does he have!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honey Technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shino raised both hands, and swarms of smaller bees shot out from his sleeves, darting toward the Nuki Oni.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tayuya’s fingers danced over her flute, trying to make the Oni intercept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bees collided—and exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sticky amber rain fell across the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thick layers of beeswax clung to the Oni’s limbs and torsos, their movements slowing to a crawl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above them, the Queen Bee unleashed another shower, coating their heads and backs like hardened glue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move!\" Tayuya’s voice cracked as she screamed the command. \"Move, damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Nuki Oni didn’t budge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shino lowered his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of Kikaichu rose like a dark tide, swarming toward Tayuya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her flute trembled in her hands. \"I... I surrender!\" she choked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The buzzing ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shino nodded slightly. \"A wise decision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him, it had been more than a victory—it was a successful test of the Jōmyō Clan’s Secret Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shino’s gotten even stronger,\" Kiba groaned. \"How are we supposed to beat him now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With Kikaichuandbees, he’s practically invincible,\" Shikamaru said, rubbing the back of his neck. \"Unless you’re Naruto or Sasuke, you might as well give up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed deeply. \"Sometimes, I wonder if hard work even matters in this class.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neji’s expression grew solemn. The Honey Technique was dangerous—if he ever got trapped in it, his Gentle Fist would be useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d have to fight Shinowithout being caught even once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shino’s new strength—the Jōmyō Clan’s Secret Technique—had the whole class unsettled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Naruto whistled in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shino! Where’d you get that giant bee? I want a Summoning Beast like that too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa-sensei gave it to me,\" Shino replied simply, adjusting his glasses as he explained the mission that led to the Queen Bee’s contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tayuya, who was still walking back from the arena, froze mid-step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clenched her jaw. The more she saw, the clearer it became—every single genius in this class had gotten stronger because ofhim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bit back the sour taste in her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way. I’ll never ask him for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so... she had to admit—this fight, at least, salvaged some pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second round of matches flew by quickly—far fewer than the chaotic first round. Seventeen had become nine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eighteen students had advanced—the ones eligible to go on missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, I’ll announce the list of students who’ve entered the third round,\" Kitazawa said, standing before the lottery box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The class fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, only thirteen had advanced—the Konoha Twelve (minus Choji), plus Hana and Yakumo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, sixteen names were called.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the Konoha Twelve were in, along with Hana, Yakumo, Tayuya, and Kimimaro.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haku hadn’t qualified—he still hadn’t mastered Ice Release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jugo could have made it easily if he’d used Sage Transformation, but he hadn’t. And Karin... well, sealing techniques didn’t exactly make for flashy duels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tayuya exhaled a long breath of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Top sixteen. Not bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least she’d saved face—after boasting she’d make top five, dropping out earlier would’ve been unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kimimaro, however, wasn’t smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he’d made it this far, he’dlostboth of his matches. Back in Otogakure, that kind of failure would’ve meant elimination—or worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jugo, by contrast, looked completely calm. He wasn’t chasing rankings; he was waiting for Kitazawa’s new seal. As long as it could stabilize him, he didn’t care about anything else—not even Otogakure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Man... life in the Genius Class just keeps getting tougher,\" Kiba sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll just work twice as hard!\" Ino declared, clenching her fists and throwing a quick glance at Sakura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Competing with geniuses like this—thisisyouth!\" Lee cried, eyes sparkling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right!\" Naruto shouted, his enthusiasm matching Lee’s perfectly. \"Youth means fighting and growing together!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikamaru sighed. \"You two really have too much energy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Save your energy,\" Tenten reminded them. \"Recover your chakra before the next match.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words snapped everyone back to focus. The field quieted as students began refining chakra and steadying their breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa’s voice broke the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest time’s over. The third round begins now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached into the lottery box and pulled out two slips of paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first match—Kimimaro versus Sasuke Uchiha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air buzzed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ooh, that’s gonna be a good one,\" Tenten said with bright eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke needed no introduction—one of the class’s undisputed top three. And while Kimimaro had lost twice, his strength had already earned everyone’s respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sasuke-kun...\" Sakura whispered softly, her hands clasped near her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I declare Kimimaro officially the unluckiest guy in this exam,\" Kiba muttered suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Why?\" Ino asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think about it,\" Kiba said, spreading his hands. \"He’s foughtNaruto,Yakumo, and nowSasuke. Three of the strongest people in this entire class—all back to back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hana blinked. \"...That’s actually true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tayuya frowned. \"Wait, are you saying Kitazawa-sensei rigged the draws?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ino immediately shook her head. \"Kitazawa-sensei wouldneverdo that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata, who rarely spoke up, nodded firmly. \"He’s fair to everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our rankings aren’t based on wins or losses anyway,\" Kiba added. \"They’re about overall performance. Who you face doesn’t matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sakura nodded. \"Exactly. Kitazawa-sensei treats everyone equally—we all have personalized training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tayuya hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s... true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to admit, Kitazawa had always treated her fairly—even giving her a B-rank Genjutsu despite her attitude. The guilt crept in before she could stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikamaru, though, frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still... the timing, the draws... it’s too neat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his mouth, then closed it again. No one would believe him anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kimimaro, be careful,\" Jugo said quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kimimaro gave a brief nod and stepped into the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go, Sasuke! Burn your youth!\" Naruto shouted, giving a thumbs-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke didn’t even glance back. \"Only an Uchiha wins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked to his position, hands in his pockets, eyes cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Battle start!\" Kitazawa declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of crimson filled Sasuke’s eyes—Two-Tomoe Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genjutsu: Unkown Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An invisible wave of chakra spread outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kimimaro stiffened. He hadn’t expected Sasuke to open with Genjutsu. The Uchiha usually favored Fire or Lightning Release first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision warped.
