That Day When Suzuki-kun Wasn't the Mob-B! Chapter 30: Master of Fire Release (Patreon)

"He did it again..." 

Hiruzen sighed helplessly, yet he showed a gentle smile and even pride as Suzuki was able to surprise Kurenai, the Jonin, and also quickly showed who should be the leader on the team. 

While it might appear arrogant, Suzuki was the disciple of Hiruzen, so obviously, whether he wanted to or not, he had to become the best, and that was why watching how Suzuki was ready to show who was the best made Hiruzen smile. 

The sudden intense radiance blinded everyone, and naturally, Shino was panicked, trying to wave his fist, but somehow, one of his feet was swept, and he lost his balance till all of a sudden, his body spun, and he was slammed into the ground! 

BOOOOOOOOOM! 

"Judo..." 

As Hiruzen saw how Suzuki slammed Shino into the ground, he had to admit that this martial art was fascinating. 

To use minimal effort to create a maximum result. 

This was Suzuki's concept, and naturally, he didn't really hide it from Hiruzen, as it was just a martial art, and frankly, it was a better martial art for ninja, as it was effective, subtle, yet created powerful damage as the gravity and ground did all the damage. 

Unlike striking martial arts, judo wouldn't hurt the user, as his hands or feet wouldn't break when they hit a hard object. Moreover, even if the opponents had mastered a jutsu that made their bodies become as hard as a diamond, as long as they were slammed into the ground, their brain, and their inside would rattle and they would be hit from inside. 

"You are strong, Shino, but your bugs are weak against heat." 

Shino felt the temperature had increased, and the bugs were screaming, afraid of the fire that was so close, making him so helpless and also hopeless. "You won..." 

Yes, bugs were powerful, but they were weak against the fire. 

Unfortunately, Suzuki was a master at a fire jutsu, which was practically rare within the Konoha, despite it was located on the Land of Fire, and also had a concept known as the Will of Fire. 

As for Hinata, she didn't move, and just watched Suzuki get close and lightly tap her forehead gently. 

"You lose, Hinata." 

"Um." 

".........." 

Suzuki was speechless, then ruffled her hair with a sigh. "Stay here. I will try to fight Kurena-san." 

"Yes, Suzuki-kun." Hinata's face was so red, yet even so, her eyes never looked away from Suzuki. 

As for Kurenai, the moment Suzuki activated his flashbang jutsu, she had already run away, moving away from the battle, waiting for her eyes to recover. 

What was that jutsu? 

She had never seen such a jutsu, and frankly, while it didn't do any damage, it was such a nuisance and also troublesome, as the intense light made her eyes go blind for a while. 

"Ugh..." 

Kurenai had never thought that she would be played by a genin! 

Yes, Suzuki was the disciple of Hokage, yet even so, he was still a 12-year-old kid! 

How could she lose to him, right? 

Yet, unexpectedly, she might lose to him, as this time, Suzuki planned to show the true master of the fire release. 

"Katon: Shinkiro" (Fire Release: Heat Mirage)." 

"Shino-kun, watch him. He will show you his mastery over the fire release." 

Shino pushed the frame of his glasses as he was at a loss by the sudden transformation of Suzuki. 

Katon: Shinkiro (Fire Release: Heat Mirage). 

As this jutsu was used, Suzuki's body appeared to be distorted, and before it appeared once again, yet at that moment, Kurenai threw a kunai, which, instead of hitting him, passed through his body as if he was an illusion.

"............." Kurenai, Shino, Hiruzen, and everyone. 

"Huh?" 

Suzuki was calm, but the rest wasn't! 

So, what was this jutsu? 

This was the jutsu that he created by using one of the basic jutsus he received from the school, combining the Fire Release: Great Fireball with the Transformation Technique (Henge Jutsu). 

The Transformation Technique was usually used as a physical disguise (turning into a person or a shuriken).

However, Suzuki decided to combine it with fireball jutsu to create an optical illusion without needing high-level Genjutsu.

How was this done? 

The Great Fireball produced immense heat. Heat expanded the air, changing its density and bending light (refraction). Instead of launching a fireball at an enemy, he "swallowed" the technique—holding the superheated chakra around his skin or breathing it out slowly to surround the battlefield.

Yes, he used the transformation technique, not his shape, but to project his image onto the distorted, heated air.

As a result, everyone saw him standing in front of them, but because of the heat refraction, his actual body was two meters to the left, and what Kurenai struck was the "mirage," hitting nothing but hot air.

This was his desperation, and he knew that as long as his figure was hidden by this "mirage," no one could kill him, and he was safe unless one was strong enough to create an AOE (Area of Attack) type of jutsu, blasting the environment directly. 

Fortunately, the number of people who could do that was so small, or rather, it was rare to see someone, to be able to do a wide range of attack as in most cases, ninja had only mastered the three basic jutsu instead of an elemental type of jutsu like him. 

Still, without a doubt, Kurenai was startled and quickly broke away from the illusion! 

"Kai!" 

As her chakra shook, she thought that she had broken away from the illusion, yet unfortunately, Suzuki was the same, standing so nonchalantly that she threw the kunai again, but as expected, the result was the same, as it passed through. 

"How?!" 

"There is no way that I said that, right?" 

Unlike a normal genjutsu, which attacked the mind, the brain, it was a physics-based genjutsu." Even someone with a Sharingan might struggle because it wasn't an illusion in their brain; it was actual light distortion in the real world.

This was just his prototype, as he had already thought of the further development of this jutsu, but before that, let's start his counterattack. 

"Katon: Netsu-Shikaku (Katon: Thermal Optics)." 

At that moment, nothing was hidden from him.
