Chapter 9's
16 People Who Remained
“Senpou, China: suijinheki!” said two kage bunshin Rafsa.
“Senpou, Suiton: bakusui shouha,” say one kage bunshin Rafsa left. While the original Raffa was behind the three bunshins.
When the roar of water appeared in front of him Rafsa immediately threw the kunai into the air as tight as possible, it appeared that near the handle had been tied a ball of smoke and a sign at the end. The three Raffa bunshin instantly disappeared as the wall of water formed coupled with the rising water overflow, Rafsa's eyes also seemed to have returned as usual.
“It seems he has reached the limits of monday mode. It was no surprise that he used two water-protective jutsu as well as a water-wave blast jutsu that Kisame once used. The three jutsu must have drained his weapons,” thought Reina with a smile because she knew that the three jutsu were still no match for the fire jutsu she used.
‘Ddddrrrrrr.
‘Bbbsssshhh.’
The sound of the impact of water and fire that hit each other, the water jutsu used by Rafsa instantly evaporated instantly to cause fog. But Reina's attention was on the explosion of kunai in the sky, black smoke billowing in the sky. While the place Rafsa now has been engulfed in the fire jutsu he used.
“What explosion is it? Was it his last missed attack before he was engulfed in flames?” muttered Reina while stopping her jutsu.
‘Bbbssttt.’
From the sky seemed dozens of black dots darting down towards him, just a glance Reina knew that it was dozens of kunai that were darting rapidly towards him. Not until there, Reina again surprised with five kunai that darted from the ruins of the earth wall where Raffa and Leafa stood earlier, and, the place was completely untouched by the fire jutsu he had released earlier.
“What have I fought since then is his bunshin? No, the one I was fighting was clearly a real person. If the bunshin will certainly disappear immediately after being hit by my attack earlier, Reina's inner” instantly forms a hand seal.
“Doton: cho doryuheki!” said Reina while slamming both hands into the ground, right then and there from the four sides of Reina's body immediately appeared the earth wall that managed to protect her from all the kunai that shot towards her. But unexpectedly, a kunai from the air still darted towards him.
“What is the jutsu not able to cover all of the kunai's range? It was impossible, after all, this kunai came later than other kunai that had been restrained by the earth wall. This kunai was clearly cast for quite a while after the other kunai shot towards me, Reina's inner” instantly dodged the kunai by jumping backwards. But his eyes suddenly widened when the figure of Rafsa is now in front of him right while holding the kunai that he was about to avoid.
“Chekmate,” said Rafsa with a smile by smoothing the kunai right towards the heart of Reina.
“Sial! That mark? Hiraishin no jutsu?” muttered Reina involuntarily. His attention was drawn to the sign at the end of the kunai held by Rafsa.
Reina could not be evasive anymore, her body had already moved to avoid the kunai, she did not expect if Rafsa was also able to master Hiraishin no jutsu owned by Tobirama and Minato. But right before the tip of the kunai Rafsa touched Reina's body, suddenly the bodies of the two of them could not be moved in the slightest. Slowly their bodies began to fade.
“This?” rafsa muttered as she felt her body unable to move and began to fade.
“It looks like our match will continue in the next round, Rafsa,” said Reina who also began to fade.
“Sweetest. Maybe at another time,” replied Rafsa with a smile before finally their bodies disappeared instantly.
Now Rafsa's body is somewhere else. In front of him there is now a large fighting arena like the Tenkaichi Budokai arena in the Dragon Ball anime but four times larger. On all four sides of the arena were four users who were standing far apart. So in total there are 16 HLF users who qualify for this round after going through the battle royale round.
Raffa stood with two men and one woman. While on the opposite side was Reina who stood with three men, on the other side were two men and two women then on the last side were three men and one woman. They all looked at each other as if they wanted to measure the ability of their respective opponents, especially this round was a one-on-one fight to determine one winner who was entitled to be a jounin while the rest just became chunin.
“Sadly that the match was not finished, I did not expect the battle royale round to be completed in a short time,” Rafsa's inner self was a bit upset because earlier he could almost win against Reina.
“And when I had arranged the plan in such a way,” grumbled Rafsa while looking at Reina who was on the opposite side, even though Reina was wearing a mask but Raffa thought Reina was also looking at him from a distance.
“I didn't expect if he could actually use hiraishin no jutsu. In fact, I really underestimated it too much, if only last time the first stage test still continued maybe I had lost. Well, although luck also included part of the force,” thought that Reina still refused to admit defeat.
Now Reina understands that Rafsa throws a hiraishin-marked kunai into the sky to escape from her fire jutsu, while her three bunshin who use water jutsu are just a diversion for her vigilance to diminish. Reina could have guessed that the moment the fire hit the wall of water and the ball of smoke exploded in the sky Rafsa must have used hiraishin to move to the kunai he threw in the sky, he could not see Rafsa's body because it was covered in black smoke.
Then Rafsa attacked him with dozens of kunai to let him off guard and not think about his opponent's movements, that's when Raffa moved to the ruins of his land wall that he had marked before escaping from three consecutive attacks. Rafsa must have directly thrown the five kunai from there to make his attention to the sidetracked sky.
Reina was sure that after her attention was fixed on the five kunai coming from different directions Rafsa immediately returned to the kunai in the sky, that was when without noticing anything else Reina used her juts to defend. At that time Rafsa again threw the last kunai from the sky which of course has been marked by hiraishin. All of it makes sense how there is a kunai that is still darting towards him while the other kunai is held back by the earth wall he uses.
“If everything I expected was indeed true, then his intelligence was indeed extraordinary. But.. why didn't he qualify as a beta tester?” batin Reina while continuing to pay attention to Rafsa who is opposite her.
“I did not expect it turned out there was Beta Tester No. 11 taking the chunin exam this time,” chirped a man who was on the right side of Reina or the left side when from where Rafsa stood. The man said while using his index finger to point at Reina.
“Beta Tester No. 11?” muttered the three users next to Rafsa.
“Who are you?” reina asked as she moved her head to look at the man who pointed at her from the right side. Now Reina is the center of attention in that place, because everyone is very surprised to hear there is the eleventh strongest beta tester taking the chunin test today.
“Hey you don't pretend to forget that! Look my eyes!” firmly the man while glaring his eyes. His eyes were the eyes of the Uchiha clan aka the Sharingan.
“Share?” muttered some other users while looking at the man's eyes.
“What's wrong with your eyes? Flippancy?” asked Reina coldly.
“It turns out that hearing other people treated like that is quite funny too,” inner Rafsa with a small laugh. Several other users were also seen laughing, although there were some people who seemed to be holding back their laughter.
“Bad you! Fellow Beta Tester you should know your friends' names! I'm Uchiha Hanz! Beta Tester No. 98!” firmly the man while pointing at Reina.
“She beta tester too?” whispers of other users.
“Number 98 yes, I will remember well,” muttered Rafsa while staring at the man named Hanz sharply.
“Oh worth it. I think you're a beta tester stronger than me,” said Reina who immediately turned her attention again to Rafsa.
“Hahaha..” heard some users laughing at it, Rafsa also just smiled to himself. It seems that Reina's attitude is like that to everyone, somehow Rafsa is somewhat relieved by it.
“Awas just you!” hanz's grumbling that started to move was about to approach Reina's side.
“Basic boy!” said a man who was on the right side of Rafsa or the left side of Reina.
“What did you say? Dans!” yelled Hanz who this time glared at the man who was talking.
“Bokah! The match is still not started but already want to fuss,” explained the man named Dans with a louder voice as if intentional.
“That mark on his forehead, did he choose the same clan as Kimimaro?” raffa's inner self while looking at the man who was arguing with Hanz.
“More if they know each other, maybe he is also a beta tester,” continued Rafsa.
Seriate…
