Naruto, this game world seems a bit real.

Chapter 218 Contrast

Kumogakure, the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning.

"Chu Yi, it's your turn."

Darui turned his head to look at the disciple beside him who had his head down and called out to him.

"Yes!" Chu Yi looked up and glanced at him, then quickly lowered her head and silently walked up.

Darui sighed, "Chuyi, don't be afraid, it's just a normal battle."

"Yes... Teacher Darui!" Chu Yi said softly, though she was actually most afraid of her teacher.

These arena battles take place every day in Kumogakure. After becoming a ninja, one must fight at least once a month, regardless of winning or losing, but must strive to improve upon the previous one. Only those promoted to Jonin can choose not to continue.

Chu Yi was just a recent graduate of the Ninja Academy who was assigned to be Darui's disciple. What she feared most was the monthly arena battle, which attracted far too many spectators.

If she had a choice, she would only want to quietly steal some ninjutsu and find a place to train.

The people here are all dark-skinned and look fierce and scary.

She tried to calm her fear and looked up at the person opposite her. She vaguely remembered him; his name seemed to be Omoi.

"She looks so timid, like a little white rabbit. Can she withstand even one hit from him?"

What if I hurt her?

"If she cries, how should he comfort her?"

Omoi looked at the person opposite him, and a number of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

The two raised their hands simultaneously, forming a contrasting mudra.

The next instant, Omoi drew his knife and swung it at him.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Blade!"

Chu Yi, who had originally raised her hand, quickly formed a hand seal, and instantly a lightning blade formed from lightning appeared in her palm, clashing against the attack.

At this moment, she was no longer timid and afraid; her face was full of excitement.

This stark contrast stunned many people present.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Explosion Stream!"

While Omoi was distracted, Chu Yi, with her other hand forming a hand seal, attacked him, winning the battle instantly.

Omoi couldn't believe he had lost even as he stepped off the ring.

When he looked up, the girl was hiding behind Darui with her head down.

“Next time he meets her, he will definitely not be fooled by her appearance again,” he swore.

"But she looks so cute and adorable."

"He needs to think carefully about how to win against her without hurting her young heart."

Omoi was still lost in thought when Karui punched him back to reality, saying, "You're really a disgrace, losing to a genin who just graduated not long ago."

“It’s just one mistake; we’ll definitely make the same mistake next time,” Omoi retorted.

"You want a next time? You've completely lost face." Karui was very angry and punched him again.

When Chu Yi saw this scene, she was both scared and curious to watch the show. Her furtive behavior amused Da Rui.

"His disciple is good in every way, but his timid and fearful personality really needs to be changed. Fortunately, he's not like this in battle, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to be a ninja," Darui thought to himself.

Chu Yi's eyes lit up when she saw something. "Wow, Samui has such a great figure, such fair skin, and she's so pretty."

She looked down at herself and gave a disdainful purse.

Darui saw all of this and couldn't understand how people could have so many expressions.

After Chu Yi's other two teammates finished their matches, she couldn't wait to leave; enduring for so long was already her limit.

Arriving at her secret training base, Chu Yi finally relaxed.

No one has been seen in this place for half a month now, breaking the previous record of ten days.

Suddenly, footsteps approached, and Chu Yi quickly hid, as if she had practiced it many times.

"You can't see me...you can't see me..." she muttered to herself, hiding behind a large rock.

The footsteps grew closer, and a figure enveloped her completely. "Chu Yi, we'll meet at the training ground on the eleventh tomorrow. You left too quickly, so I came to let you know."

Hearing the familiar voice, she paused for a moment, then said softly, "I understand, Teacher Darui."

Although she was more afraid of being alone with her teacher, she still knew the importance of respecting teachers.

Darui was a little annoyed. "Is he really that scary?" Why did her disciple never dare to look him in the eye?

"No, he absolutely needs to be reformed."

Darui put away his lazy expression and decided to properly teach his disciple and help him change his temperament.

"Chu Yi, look up and look me in the eye!" he commanded, his gaze falling on the disciple before him.

Chu Yi hesitated for a long time before slowly raising her head, but glanced elsewhere.

"The teacher probably won't notice!" she thought to herself.

"Does this disciple think he's blind?" Darui rubbed his forehead, looking like he had a headache.

"Chu Yi, look me in the eye!" he said again.

Seeing that she seemed unmoved, Darui added, "I'll teach you a new ninjutsu!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yi's gaze immediately shifted to Da Rui in anticipation of the new ninjutsu.

"Actually, the teacher is just a big, strong guy, a bit dark-skinned, and much taller than her. She's not scared at all, really." She frantically brainwashed herself, "I'll risk it all for the new ninjutsu."

Time passed slowly, and she couldn't help but want to lower her head.

After such a long time, she really couldn't hold on any longer.

Chu Yi didn't want to do this, but when she saw something much taller and bigger than herself that could move, her body involuntarily became like this.

Darui seemed to notice her opening of her mouth, "Alright, you don't need to look at me anymore."

He stood there uneasy, constantly being stared at by his disciple.

“I just saw from afar that you made a mistake in your hand seal when practicing ‘Lightning Release: Lightning Binding.’ Let me teach you again,” Darui instructed.

Chu Yi's expression froze for a moment; this wasn't the ninjutsu she had just been practicing!

Chu Yi held back from saying anything, after all, she hadn't learned 'Lightning Release: Lightning Binding' yet, so this was just a free ninjutsu.

She was eager to learn new ninjutsu, so she stared intently at Darui, waiting for his instruction.

That look made Darui think of a person named 'Uchiha Yo,' but he didn't get to see him one last time.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

After a while, seeing that Darui did not move, Chuyi called out.

"Ah! The teacher is alright."

"Watch closely."

Darui snapped out of his daze and began to form hand seals, deliberately slowing down so that the disciple in front of him could see them more clearly.

"Alright, Chu Yi, give it a try!" he said after demonstrating once.

"Okay, teacher!"

This was the first time the teacher had given her special tutoring, and Chu Yi was quite nervous. There was also the pressure of that big guy standing next to her. Although she had been brainwashed many times, it was impossible to get rid of her fear so quickly.

She took a deep breath and began to try, "Chen-Wu-Wei..."

Due to excessive pressure and some nervousness, the first attempt ended in failure.
