The cold light flickered, and the piercing thunder and lightning seemed to penetrate the heavens and the earth, accompanied by the sound of skin being cut.

"Tick" dots of bright red slowly dripped down, condensing a line of blood on the ground.

"Woohhhh

"Don't worry, you can't die at this level." An indifferent and emotionless voice resounded in the young man's ears, and in the mist, a slender figure could be faintly seen, with a strange short knife in his right hand, and an electric snake dancing wildly, extremely supernatural.

"However, if you delay it too long, you will lose more than a certain amount of blood, and the result will be beyond me."

A look of resentment flashed in the young man's eyes, and he reluctantly took out a scroll from his bosom and threw it at the latter.

"Here you go."

Blade took the scroll and threw a red pill to the young ninja,

"Crush and apply externally." After dropping these words, Blade didn't look at the young ninja, and walked back without looking back, while the corner of his eye looked at the scroll.

"It's the "soldier" scroll, just right, so that all the scrolls are collected. ”

"Tomorrow will be the day when the fog of this forest will dissipate, and there is no moon in the night, aren't you ready to appear?"

"He'll come, definitely." Not far away, Shui Yue's long blue hair was flying, her aqua blue robe was windless, and her face was no longer pale when facing the full moon of the ghost lamp, and she was a little more ruddy.

She had been separated from Ye Wuyue a long time ago, because Ye Wuyue and the young man named A seemed to have something to do, so she left first. After several tosses, he finally made peace with the blades.

"That's a good point." The blade put away the thunder tooth and said lightly: "He's not the kind of person who will leave it alone. ”

"But maybe I'll be late." Turbulent Wind leaned on the huge folding fan and said a little lazily.

"Tomorrow, will he come?" Shui Yue looked up at the sky, and under the hazy mist, there was a misty. Shui Yue's beautiful eyes were slight, as if she was in deep thought.

The day passed quickly. As the morning came, the first rays of sunlight shone through the dense foliage and fell like gold on the earth. The fog that has been shrouded in the misty forest for many years has finally dissipated for the second time.

"So, start counting the number of people. Those who have successfully collected the nine types of scrolls of 'Rank, Soldier, Fight, One, All, Array, Column, In, and Front' should come to my right to register, and those who have not collected all the scrolls and those who have lost them, please stand at my left head. ”

Outside the Misty Forest, the two masked shadows who were in charge of picking them up said coldly. As soon as the words ended, the people who had just come out of the forest were in a commotion, cheering or frustrated.

"He, didn't come......" Shui Yue's beautiful eyes showed disappointment, and handed the scroll in his hand to the dark department in charge of registration. Lin, Bing, Fight, Person, All, Array, Column, In, Front', the words on the scroll flickered in turn, and disappeared from Shui Yue's sight after about a cup of tea.

"The scroll is true, and you have successfully collected nine kinds to qualify for the third round of competition." The dark department in charge of registration announced expressionlessly, and at the same time handed Shui Yue a wooden card, and said lightly: "Put it away." ”

Shui Yue put away the wooden card, remained silent, and quietly stepped aside. Looking at the blank wooden card in his hand, his eyes lost his mind for a while.

There is another person who is also concerned about the whereabouts of the moon at night, that is, he appeared out of nowhere, and the ghost light is full of moon. Shui Yue naturally saw him too, but he didn't identify the ghost lamp full moon, after all, what happened in the forest, just by a word, it couldn't explain anything at all.

The ghost lamp full moon frowned, and the disappearance of the night without a moon seemed to him to be extremely weird.

"That guy, what are you planning again!" The ghost lamp full moon sighed, and a slender and slender blue body walked past him, and the light of his eyes moved to the water moon after the ghost lamp full moon lingered on the ghost lamp full moon for a moment.

"Yo, isn't this Sister Shuiyue, congratulations on passing the second round of assessment!" Terumi's laughter resounded in Shui Yue's ears, wearing an aqua blue robe, with long hair scattered all over her head, which was particularly moving in the sun.

Nagashiro had returned to her side at some point, still carrying three large knives as usual, but there were a few more bruises on his body, his breath was still a little disordered, and he obviously suffered some internal injuries.

"It's you." Shui Yue said lightly and didn't answer much.

"Ahh Zhaomei pretended to be surprised, and her red lips lightly attached to Shui Yue's ear, and she didn't know what she said. Shui Yue's little face turned red suddenly, and she pulled out the short sword at her waist and was about to slash at Terumi.

Terumi Mingjiao smiled and dodged Shuiyue's blow, and said, "Ahhhh ”

"What the hell are you talking about, woman!" Shui Yue said indignantly, her face was like a ripe persimmon, as if it could drip blood.

Just as Shui Yue and Zhao Mei were playing, a loud voice suddenly sounded and entered the ears of each contestant.

"Personnel have been registered, 284 have survived, 272 have lost or not collected the full scroll, and 12 have passed." After reporting this data, the dark part in charge of registration frowned slightly, because they had put a total of 63 sets of scrolls in this level, and the number of qualified people was only 12, which was a bit unexpected.

Another dark man continued: "Then, those who are qualified, please come with me, and the rest of the personnel will be disbanded on the spot!" ”

"Let's go." The blade stood up and said.

"That ......," Mizuki said suddenly. I have a companion who hasn't come out yet, can you wait a little longer. ”

"No way!" The dark part said coldly, "We must return to Konoha before noon." Besides, the Misty Forest is full of dangers, and your companion is most likely to die inside, and even if he doesn't, he will already be disqualified. ”

"But......" Shui Yue said, wanting to say something more. Water Moon! The blade glared at Shui Yue fiercely, and Shui Yue opened her mouth, but she didn't speak after all.

"Well, there are no other problems." The dark part said lightly, "If you don't have it, let's go." ”

Shui Yue was silent, following the blade and the group, and did not speak all the way. The blade seemed to see what Shui Yue was thinking, and said lightly: "I know you want to wait for that guy, if this is a simple selection, it will be fine." However, you and I both know that this selection of the Twelve Ninja Warriors of Fire is completely a disguise, and there must be a shady curtain behind it that we can't imagine. In that guy's absence, only we can stop it. ”

Shui Yue bit her lower lip tightly, her face was bitter, but she still nodded her head in understanding.

Seeing Shui Yue like this, the blade no longer spoke, he knew that there was no need to say much, Shui Yue could understand.

Konoha Village, inside the Hokage Building.

"Is it, night without moon, didn't he come out of the misty forest?"

"Yes, three generations of Hokage-sama. According to the information we have received, only a few of his companions have passed the second round of assessments, and he is not among them. ”

The third generation put down the report in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, and showed exhaustion on his old face. With a deep groan, he took out the scarlet pipe and took a big puff.

"The matter of the night without a moon, put it aside for the time being, he is not the kind of person who will break his word. As for the selection of the Guardian Ninja Twelve Warriors this time...... "The three generations spit out clouds and mist in their mouths, and the air around them suddenly had a unique smell of tobacco.

Slammed the pipe, and the third generation said, "To be honest, I don't understand the significance of the Daimyo Lord's selection at this time." Even, this selection always gave me a feeling of panic, as if something terrible was about to happen. ”

"Tomorrow is the third round of selection, you go back and do your defense work first."

"Yes, three generations." The shadow who came to report bowed down, and his figure flashed, and he disappeared into the Hokage building.

Miyome picked up his pipe, took a deep breath, and sighed:

"I hope it's just me worrying too much."
