In fact, the morning sun can never be warm, and the days are short and the nights are long in winter, when the sky is still dark.

The person who opened his eyes and woke up was Sasuke, and the room was not big, but he actually knew that even if he was the only one in the entire house.

Loneliness arises, and with it sobriety and apathy.

Silently he got up, made his bed, and then put on his clothes and fastened his belt.

The floor was grid-shaped, and Sasuke reached out to clasp open a mesh next to the bed, which contained a dark compartment for concealment.

There were many scrolls in the dark compartment, and one was taken out, and Sasuke read it quietly—the forbidden and secret techniques that had been snatched from the villages of the extinct families during the bloody massacre that followed Zhang Nian.

The source of the technique determines its strength.

Such a situation appeared in everyone's room, not only Sasuke, but also Shikamaru Sakurai Noya Ninji and others were all doing the same thing at the same time.

In fact, no one forced them, and the reason for this unanimous scene was only their own fear of power.

But for Sasuke, it's not so much about awe as it is about longing – longing for the power to kill Itachi.

At noon on this day, the second middle ninja exam will begin, that is, the snatching of the Heaven and Earth Scroll.

With a calm reading forbidden technique on his face, the killing intent in Sasuke's heart kept surging.

After experiencing such a hellish slaughter, it is understandable that someone like Sasuke who is hungry for power shows a murderous character.

Whether it's Sasuke, or the trajectory of this world.

All of this is changing...... By Zhang Nian.

……

The clear sky is cool, and the wind and frost are howling, indicating snow.

Zhang Nian, who got up and opened the door, saw Tsunade and Mute in the aisle.

"Where are you going?"

Tsunade turned around when he heard this, and saw that it was Zhang Nian who replied: "Purposeless journey practice, farewell, Nian." ”

Zhang Nian pouted: "I will follow." ”

Tsunade's eyes lit up, and she was silent for a long time, although she was used to it, but it was real good news for her to have a more Zhang Nian who had a common language.

"Really?" asked Tsunade.

Zhang Nian nodded: "Yes." ”

Sparks came out of the room, obviously hearing the conversation between the two, and said a little pitifully, "Teacher, what about Sparks?"

"Well, go back to Konoha. "Zhang Nian plans to rush back to Konoha at the end of the middle ninja exam and the time when Orochimaru makes a move, as for letting the sparks follow him, it is not very convenient.

Spark opened his mouth speechlessly, and Tsunade looked amused, but didn't speak.

The sparks were easily dispersed, and Zhang Nian joined the team of Tsunade Mute and Xiangzhu.

It was an understatement to join, but in fact, Zhang Nian cherished the time he spent with Tsunade in his heart.

On the mountainside is an earthy yellow and crooked path, the sun does not add much warmth, a group of three people walked over the path, the short-haired mute walked ahead, behind him was Tsunade who laughed heartily from time to time and Zhang Nian who said something interesting.

Occasionally, when it was Tsunade's turn to speak, Zhang Nian would wander, Tsunade's cute voice became blurry and inaudible in his ears, and he had a moment of warmth in his heart, soft-hearted, and warm, and wanted to keep walking with Tsunade beside him like this.

"But if you don't gain strength and let this world develop in such a trajectory, those fools will eventually find me as a human pillar force, resurrect Madara, resurrect the Ten Tails, and even Kaguya...... At that time, how can I, who have no power, protect you......"

Staring at Tsunade's beautiful and moving side face, Zhang Nian said silently in his heart, at this time, what flashed in his mind was Tsunade, Hinata, Red Bean, and Spark...... And there aren't a lot of faces.

This is the person he cherishes after living in this world, he actually doesn't love much, and in this huge world, there are only four people he wants to protect.

And the so-called love is not only hugging, kissing and **, his love is actually not so dirty, clean and pure......

"Oh, you've been staring at me for a long time......"

At a certain moment, there was a feeling of pain on his face, and consciousness returned, and it was Tsunade's white fingers pinching his face, and those big beautiful eyes were looking at him with a puzzled smile.

When I reacted, my face was still painful, but my heart felt warm again.

Looking directly at Tsunade's gaze, a gentle smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Nian's face, and that gaze also became gentle, holding the white and warm palm in Tsunade's astonishment.

A voice sounded in my heart.

"Look...... Even in order to cherish such moments, I have to keep getting stronger and step on those so-called righteous and so-called evil ......"

There is a heart that becomes cold because of the warmth of a certain moment!

……

The bloody Shura field.

This is the most accurate adjective for the Death Forest at this time, the examination room of the second exam at this moment.

Candidates work in groups of three, a total of twenty-six groups, thirteen groups are divided into heavenly groups, and the other thirteen groups are divided into earth groups, and the group that gathers the heaven and earth scrolls by snatching them is deemed to have passed the exam after reaching the end point.

The map of the entire Forest of the Dead is circular, ending in a tower in the center.

Sasuke and the others split up the group of three from the very beginning of their entry into the Forest of Death, and began to head at full speed to the end of the forest center.

But their purpose is not to wait for the rabbit, when the eleven people arrived at the location of the tower without accident, they began to allocate areas, radiating from the location of the tower, one person was responsible for a direction, carpet search for the candidates in the Death Forest, drove all the candidates to a certain location and gathered.

The crowd that was driven and surrounded didn't even understand the purpose of Sasuke and the others, but the ensuing fear prevented them from continuing to think.

Blood was gurgling, and some of the stumps and severed arms were soaked in blood, right under people's feet.

This made them forget for a moment that the enemy was beside them, and their eyes skimmed over the figures standing on the trunks of the trees around them in alarm.

"One died during the drive. Tooth said to Shikamaru, who counted the number of people.

"That's seventy-seven minus eleven of us, minus one. Shikamaru nodded, his eyes casually scanning the people who were surrounded, and his indifferent appearance seemed to be not a person below, but something inconsequential like strawberries and apples.

"Have you counted the numbers?" asked Sasuke lazily.

Shikamaru glanced at him and said, "I'll ask Ning Ci to count it again, so as not to have any omissions, after all, it's going to be a killer, and it won't be good if there is a fish that slips through the net." ”

Ning Ci's gaze had already passed.

The conversation between them was not deliberately muffled, and the people gathered below could hear it clearly, as if they were about to slaughter a domestic animal, and the small talk made them feel humiliated.

And those guys...... Even when he said that he was going to kill them, his tone didn't fluctuate at all, and it was like a monster......

"It's all together. Ning Ci spoke after a moment.

Without waiting for Shikamaru to speak, the tooth jumped off the trunk of the tree, facing more than sixty people, stretched his body unscrupulously, and then spoke: "Then...... Bringing you all here......"

Sasuke also jumped down, broke his teeth and continued, "It's because you are too boring for us to scatter, and now that you are together, your combat power will probably increase......"

Ning Ci answered: "I hope you can perform well in the next battle......

After speaking, Ning Ci looked at Shino, who was stunned for a moment before he realized that it was his turn to speak.

"Otherwise," he said, "...... ......'re going to die"

Shikamaru sighed depressedly, "You guys have snatched all my words...... Well......"

Shikamaru turned his gaze to the people below who were still a little unclear about the situation, and his tone was calm, but the words he said made people feel inexplicably palpitated and dazed: "Eleven people against sixty-six people death game...... Let's go!"
