Chapter 13: The Examination of the Middle Ninja (7)

"Now, you go to your respective entrances first, and then send someone over there to pick up the scroll. Azuki pointed to the tent house next to him.

"The examiner, we don't know where our respective entrances are?" said one candidate.

"Didn't I give you a number plate? odd numbers go to the left, and even numbers go to the right. "Red beans.

"Numbered bibs?"

"What numbered plate?" said one candidate.

"Didn't I send it to you?" asked Azuki.

"Didn't give us anything. "A candidate.

"Wouldn't it? It couldn't be, it should have been sent in the first place?"

"That red bean-sama. The middle ninja on the side reminded: "That number plate was issued by the examiner of the second exam. ”

"Huh?" Red Bean was taken aback at first, then remembered, and smiled awkwardly, "That's it...... I forgot...... Aha......"

"......" all candidates.

"Ahem, ahem. Red Bean ordered to Zhongshinobi: "Now hurry up and send out the number plate!"

Then at each door at the entrance, there is a bell, when the bell rings, the exam begins, and if you do not enter the exam room within 3 minutes, you will be deemed to have voluntarily given up the exam. Azuki continued to say the rules.

"Yes. Nakashinobi began to hand out numbered plates.

“9。 Sakura got nine.

"Let's go, let's go!" Naruto cheered.

At this moment, Naruto walked straight to the tent house, and Sakura grabbed Naruto's back collar.

"Huh?" Naruto looked back confusedly.

"What do you want to do?" Sakura looked a little angry.

"Take the scroll. Naruto replied.

"Give you the scroll?" Sakura looked disgusted.

"Uh......" Naruto was at a loss.

"Go to the entrance first, and I'll get the scroll. Sasuke stepped forward and lined up, entering the tent one at a time in the order of numbers.

After his turn, Sasuke walked in, there was only one table in the tent, and the two shinobi sat in front of it, and in front of it was a box with a square hole in the top.

"Please reach into the box, grab a scroll and leave. "Nakashinobi.

Sasuke did as instructed, and after getting a scroll, he didn't even look at it, and immediately stuffed it into his arms, left the tent, and rushed to meet Sakura and Naruto.

"Sasuke, here!" Sakura shouted when she saw Sasuke.

"......" Sasuke walked over slowly.

"How's it going, what scrolls did you get?" Sakura asked eagerly.

Sasuke took out the scroll from his arms, and the word "human" was written on the outside.

"'People', that is to say, also collect 'heaven, earth, mountain, and sea'. "Sakura-chan.

"Naruto, I'll leave the scroll to you for safekeeping. Sasuke handed the scroll to Naruto.

"Huh!?" Sakura and Naruto were momentarily stunned.

"Isn't it? Did Sasuke give up the exam?" Sakura thought to herself.

"Since this scroll is important, it should be kept by the strongest person in the squad......" Sasuke explained.

"What!?" Sakura.

"Hmph, finally admit that I'm better than you!" Naruto secretly rejoiced in his heart.

“…… When snatching the scroll, both sides will attack the strongest person on the other side, and the chances of holding the scroll for him are very high, and he will not pay attention to the weak person......" Sasuke continued.

"Isn't it? Did Sasuke take the wrong medicine?" Sakura seemed to be frightened.

"Hmm~Hmm~ There's no way~ After all, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility~" Naruto was complacent.

“…… So, we're going to do ...... opposite" Sasuke.

Sakura seemed to hear hope.

Naruto seemed to hear the contempt.

“…… Give the scroll to the weakest, and when things don't go well, you run away. Sasuke said his own way.

"Wow, it's Sasuke!

"Boom!" the bell next to the entrance remembered.

Naruto took the scroll with an unhappy look and a look of anger.

"Let's go in quickly, it's going to be eliminated when it's late. Sakura walked ahead.

"......" Sasuke followed and walked in.

"Sasuke~" Orochimaru, who was standing on a branch in the grounds, stared at Entrance 9, "It's finally waiting for you!"

……

"This, hateful, stinky, arrogant Sasuke actually mocked me for being the weakest!"

"What's wrong?" Sakura asked, looking back.

"What's wrong? "Sasuke.

"Anyway, I'm the weakest, and the enemy won't attack me, so you can go grab the scroll. Naruto said angrily.

"......" Sasuke ignored Naruto and walked away.

"Hey, Sasuke......" Sakura wanted to stop Sasuke, but gave up the moment he reached out, because he knew he couldn't stop it. Although he really wanted to keep up, he couldn't leave Naruto alone, after all, the scroll was with Naruto.

Sasuke, who is walking alone, is approaching Orochimaru's trap step by step.

"Uh-huh~ There's really no sense of crisis~" Orochimaru stared at Sasuke deadly.

"Hey, Naruto!" Sakura angrily walked up behind Naruto.

"What?" Naruto replied without looking back.

"What the hell are you angry about?" Sakura asked, a little knowingly, but she didn't know.

"Anyway, I'm the weakest, it's useless, and I can't beat others, so it's better to wait here for you to grab the scroll." Naruto said firmly.

"Then you can't just be angry, really, there is no sense of teamwork at all. "Sakura-chan.

“……”

While Naruto and Sakura were arguing, Sasuke had already fallen into Orochimaru's trap.

"Who are you?" Sasuke, who had nowhere to run, guarded the person in front of him.

"Hello, Sasuke, don't be afraid, my name is Orochimaru. Orochimaru introduced himself.

"Orochimaru?" Sasuke hadn't heard of the name.

"Itachi. Orochimaru said a name, and Sasuke, who heard the name, remembered that night full of sadness, pain, anger, and hatred.

"You'd love to kill him, right?" Orochimaru.

"Of course, he killed his clansmen and was a traitor to the Uchiha, and I wanted to kill him in my dreams. Sasuke said angrily, gritting his teeth.

"However, your strength is not enough for you to realize this wish. "Orochimaru spoke of Sasuke's sore spot.

“…… I'm not here to listen to your nonsense, saying, who the hell are you?" Sasuke immediately came to his senses.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that I can help you get revenge. "Orochimaru.

"Revenge?" Sasuke.

"That's right, I can give you strength, great power......" Orochimaru.

"Great power...... Sasuke thought of Cousin Rain and Cousin Snow, "if I can have the same strength as them......"

At this moment, Orochimaru took advantage of Sasuke's distraction, stretched his neck, bared his fangs, and quickly bit Sasuke's neck, injecting his own power into Sasuke's body.

Sasuke didn't have time to react, and after being bitten by Orochimaru, the pain paralyzed his body, and he couldn't react at all.

"Ah!!h

"Sakura-chan, Naruto.

"Is this Sasuke's voice?" Could it be that Sasuke is in danger?" Sakura immediately ran quickly in the direction of the voice, "Sasuke!"

"......" Naruto couldn't sit still either, and immediately got up and ran forward.
