Chapter 57:

On the battlefield, the current duel venue was completely emptied as they make space for the duel. Konoha ninja headed by Tsunade and Jiraiya stood behind Akira, while the Suna ninja was headed by Chiyo, all stand behind the puppeteer named Minako. .

"Minako, the other party is from Uchiha clan. Be careful of his genjutsu and you must not look into his eyes." Chiyo reminded her, Minako is a trusted subordinate of Chiyo and an excellent puppeteer, thus Chiyo choose her to fight. She also trusted in Minako's strength, that is strong enough to deal with Akira.

"Yes." Minako responded in a low voice and nodded slightly while paying Akira full attention.

Akira narrowed his eyes and walked out slowly. The opponent is an elite jonin that has rich combat experience and is a puppeteer, which make it difficult for him to deal with.

Minako and Akira stood on opposite sides while all the ninjas of Konoha and Suna in the field focused their eyes on Akira and Minako. The outcome of this battle will affect their mental state and belief, as well as determining the direction of this war.

As the verdict of this battle, Chiyo and Tsunade shouted softly at the same time: "Start!"

Zoom!

Minako and Akira moved almost at the same time, while Minako avoided direct eye contact with Akira to prevent him on using genjutsu on her. She only paid attention to the movement that is below Akira's head onward. (From torso to the feet)

"Black secret technique, poison senbons!" Minako's slender fingers were extremely flexible as she manipulated the puppet to move, the puppet on her right then violently move. The puppet on the right of Minako is a humanoid puppet and it opened it's mouth suddenly and release a dozen poisonous senbons that suddenly pierced out from it's mouth. The senbons with a green color tip, rush out densely, attacking toward Akira.

The speed of this poisonous needle was very fast together with its sudden release will be surprising for the enemy. A faint smile was at the corner of Minako's mouth as she felt that Akira would definitely not be able to escape.

Just as she expected, the poisonous senbons pierced Akira's body and Minako was happy, but suddenly she saw Akira's body dispersed into many crows.

Caw, caw, caw. The crow flew in the air freely and gathered again into Akira's figure.

"Genjutsu, how is it possible, I didn't look at your eyes at all!" Minako was stunned. She knew that Akira was a member of Uchiha clan and she knew the power of sharingan so she deliberately didn't look into Akira's eyes, but unexpectedly, she was still caught under Akira genjutsu.

Akira curled his mouth and said faintly: "Who told you that genjutsu must be activated by sharingan? Do you think those genjutsu specialized ninja without sharingan are useless? Real genjutsu master only need one finger to activate his genjutsu."

Although Minako deliberately did not look at Akira's eyes, she still got caught under Akira's genjutsu. This is because Akira had practiced genjutsu and ninjutsu under the guidance of sage of the six path, that have make him strong. Under the guidance of the six immortals, Akira has become more proficient in the mastery and use of genjutsu. He can now activate genjutsu just like the Itachi in the original story.

In the original story, Uchiha Itachi's genjutsu is so fascinating and mysterious, there was once where Uchiha Itachi's shadow clone uses only one finger to let Naruto fall into his genjutsu!

Of course, the power of the genjutsu that relies on one finger to launch is much inferior to the power of the genjutsu that is use with his sharingan. But it was more than enough to release the crow clone jutsu.

"Terrifying…" In the first testing confrontation, Minako actually felt a little pressured from the boy in front of him. This Uchiha Akira understanding of the use of genjutsu is really scary.

Chiyo, Tsunade and others were equally surprised when they saw this scene and Tsunade's eyes lit up, not bothering to hide her appreciation of Akira.

Chiyo smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect Konoha to have such an outstanding talent. I really envy Konoha and Uchiha clan…" Chiyo shook her head, amazed.

Seeing Akira easily evading her puppet's attack, Minako gritted her teeth and manipulated the two puppets to attack again. Six machetes popped out from the two puppets each, three from the right and three from the left, forming the shape that resemble what looks like a rib cage. The machetes were extremely sharp as the puppet attacked towards Akira in a dash.

The two puppets, one on the left and the other on the right, started a flexible and coordinated attack under the control of Minako.

"Chidori sharp spear!" Akira also used Chidori sharp spear without fear at all. Dense lightning flashes, chirping sounds were heard as a lightning spear emerges from Akira's palm. The powerful lightning blasts forward, directly piercing one of the puppets with powerful destructive penetrative power and destroy the core of the puppet.

Boom!

Akira successfully destroyed a puppet but without any delay in his movement, he shake his arm and threw out a dozen shurikens. Chakra thread were tied to the shurikens and another puppet was quickly entangled and tied up.

"Hmph, I've been guarding against your chakra threads! You can't stop my puppet with just this!" Minako smiled confidently, manipulating the puppet to quickly attack. Several machetes pop out of her puppet and cut off Akira's chakra threads, then followed by rushing towards Akira.

Minako manipulated the puppet extremely quickly and they reached Akira's side almost instantly. In the blink of the eye, the scimitar blade on the puppet swept over and attacked Akira swiftly.

But at this moment, Akira's body suddenly exploded, forming a huge explosion. There was a loud explosion, the ground vibrated and a rumbling sound came. The puppet close to Akira was blown to pieces!

"Damn, it's actually a clone and there are paper bombs hidden inside the clone!" Minako's eyes were solemn and her expression was a bit ugly when she realized that the Akira who was in front of her just now was a clone.

That's right, it is shadow clone explosion jutsu! Akira used this ninjutsu to solve one of Minako's puppets again. Now, both of Minako's puppets were destroyed by Akira

Chiyo's expression was slightly startled. She didn't expect Akira to be so difficult to deal with. The two puppets of Minako could not hurt or stop Akira at all. Has the strength of this Uchiha genius reached this strong? Can he actually compete with elite jonin?

"Fire Style, Dragon Flame Caterwaul jutsu!" Akira's true body had long been hiding in the dark, seizing this opportunity to release dragon flame caterwaul, a B rank ninjutsu in one fell swoop.

Dragon flame caterwaul!

The fire dragon roared fiercely and accompanied by the surging chakra of Akira roaring out. The surrounding area was filled with hot air, the temperature rose rapidly and violently. The flames of the dragon flame caterwaul was shot and flew towards Minako!
