Chapter 331: Desolation

After sorting out the interim report of the work at hand and handing it in, Tsunade didn't give too many instructions to Mizuki, just ordered him to continue to observe, and of course, Mizuki didn't give any advice, just stated the problem. Since Tsunade didn't ask Mizuki to continue interfering, Mizuki wouldn't be overly concerned about this kind of thing. How to deal with it is all up to Tsunade's mind, and it takes some vision to find the problem, but to solve the ready-made problem, it doesn't require much advanced sealing and enchantment skills, and the ninjas in the enchantment class are enough.

For more questions, Mizuki didn't ask much, he didn't seek politics if he wasn't in his position, and it didn't do any good for a worker to think too much, anyway, it wasn't he who made the idea.

However, there are some things that Mizuki needs to think about carefully.

In the Forest of Death, Mizuki walks in the jungle where leaves are falling, and most of the grass and trees are about to enter winter mode except for a few evergreen species. The lands further north may have begun to enter the cold winter, but in the relatively warm land of fire, there is still a little bit of natural life.

Originally, in the Forest of Death, the guarantee of maintaining a certain level of danger was a large number of dangerous gigantic animals, super insects, poisonous snakes, and so on. Ambush creatures, poisons, and traps of fierce beasts are essential items for the middle ninja exam.

If it's summer, there's nothing wrong with that, but you still need to properly clean up the guys who are too dangerous to properly ensure the safety of the candidates.

But now, after the cleaning and rectification of the last middle ninja exam, even if it is through the recovery of the summer and autumn seasons, it will be difficult to reach a satisfactory level, not to mention, the next middle ninja exam is scheduled to be held about a month after the year. This early spring, when the ice and snow are beginning to melt, has such a short breeding period that it is impossible to use the Death Forest under this condition as a hunting ground for the Shinobi exam.

It's basically impossible to change places, and it's not easy to find a place that is mature and has excellent defense, and has successfully held the Zhongnin exam many times.

Originally, the middle ninja exam was held twice a year, and most of the people were interested in one in the summer.

Winter is a time when it's relatively deserted. In previous years, when this situation was encountered, it was common to make some preparations in advance, such as using a little drug to stimulate the activity of the organism so that it could maintain a certain level of activity in winter. Or recruit a group of ninjas with psychic expertise, and use non-directional control methods to make "easter eggs", if there are candidates who encounter them, they will become "dark thunder" that attacks indiscriminately.

It's just that if the traces of this kind of manipulation are too heavy, it will inevitably be criticized, even if Konoha Village is really selfless, but it is difficult to ensure that individuals have feelings in it. Therefore, it is difficult for the fairness to stand up to scrutiny.

"The environment is really not good, no wonder Yunyin Village and Yanyin Village will raise objections. 』

It's too late to naturally restore the state of the exam room, relying on Konoha to set and maintain it manually, and it has caused criticism, and it seems that you really have to think of a way.

After staying here for a short time, Mizuki has deeply felt the limitations of this environment. The drastic decline in the leafiness of the trees has greatly limited the tactical abilities of the candidate squad, and the deterioration of concealment conditions is extremely unfair to many ninjas who are adept at sneak attacks and assassinations.

Moreover, the problem is not only that, the danger of the natural environment mainly comes from dangerous animals, and a large part of them are gigantic insects, but it is a pity that Mizuki has been wandering around in it for so long, and he has not seen a few.

"No matter how big and strong an insect is, it is also an insect, and the cold winter is the line of life and death!"

Mizuki sighed and had to worry about the next period of time.

Creatures such as buffalo, rhinoceros, wild boars and elephants are normal in the Dead Forest this season, but they are all sluggish because of the scarcity of food. Tigers, jackals and other beasts are also trapped by the lack of prey, and of course, hungry carnivores will appear more ferocious, which is a good thing. It's just that the most common and powerful bears and snakes are almost gone, and it's almost hibernation season.

Mizuki's biggest concern is not these, but the degree of risk that is completely different between winter and summer, and the polarization is too serious.

Winter will silence most creatures, making the overall danger of the Death Forest drastically reduced, but the creatures that can persist and stay active in this harsh environment are definitely powerful monsters.

Although the number of these monsters is extremely small, but the strength is extremely strong, even if it is a slightly weaker middle ninja, if you are not careful, you will capsize in the gutter. For Shinobi, it's even more difficult to deal with.

As a result, the vast majority of candidates are unlikely to be trapped in the natural environment, but a very small number of unlucky people may be wiped out simply because they are unlucky enough to encounter a beast that is too powerful.

For ninjas, luck is also a part of strength, but there are too many factors that luck influences, and it is not a good thing for a middle ninja exam.

This natural climate change is too difficult to deal with, and if the opportunistic methods of the past cannot be used, we have to think of other ways to replace it.

While Mizuki was still on patrol, a familiar chakra suddenly appeared in his perception.

"This is, Kakashi Hachiki is too messy, isn't it?"

Mizuki couldn't help but quicken his pace, and after a while, Mizuki, who was secretly observing, saw Sasuke Uchiha who was practicing.

"It's hard enough. 』

For a shinobi, the danger of entering the Forest of Death alone is self-evident. Many dangerous beasts are secondary, and the key is the various dangers and the environment in which it is difficult for people to live. If nothing else, the daredevils who break into the territory of the giant leeches can easily be tricked without knowing it, and then be sucked dry of blood and die. A person comes in, endless fighting and mental pressure are important factors in breaking down the defense line. I can't even rest, and I'm tired to death.

However, watching Sasuke below maneuver around a few mountain lions that were already hungry and vicious, he was also at ease. The rich and varied combat skills are eye-catching, and the flexible skills and exquisite ninja control techniques make Mizuki extremely admired. I have to say that if you dare to come to the Forest of Death alone to practice, you also have a certain amount of confidence. Of course, the weather is getting cooler, and the danger has been greatly reduced, which is probably one of the important factors for Kakashi Hachiki to let him in with confidence.

After a while, several huge mountain lions fell at Sasuke's feet, and the panting boy also sat on the ground to regain his strength.

Seeing that the battle was over, Mizuki slowly stepped out of the shadows of the trees.
