Chapter 036: Sleepy Stream

There are still more than ten days left before the Zhongnin exam. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It stands to reason that in this limited time, candidates should seize the time to practice every day.

But as soon as you graduate from the ninja school, you are no longer a student in the school.

Students in ninja schools can practice all day for a certain exam.

But ninjas can't, because ninjas are already social beings, ninjas are already a job, even if it's a lower ninja, that's the same.

Therefore, the Zhongnin exam is more like some people who have worked in modern society to take the job title, and in the process of preparing for the exam, they still need to stick to work.

So in these ten days, Ape Fei still needs to work, and their job is to perform ninja missions.

During this time, Ape Fei and his team have completed a total of 2 D-class missions and 1 C-class mission, and the process has been quite smooth.

On the way to the place where the mission was carried out, Ape Fei also tried to learn some things about Mu Dun from the well, and secretly asked while he was not there.

Sarutobi: "Mizui, do you know when Hokage-sama was able to use the wooden escape?" ”

Mizui: "I don't know, I think it was before I was born, it seems to be related to an epidemic." ”

"Epidemic? What kind of disease? ”

"Don't you even know this?"

"I don't know, you said to hear it."

"At the beginning of the creation of Konoha Village, it was composed of members of the 'Senju' and 'Uchiha' clans, but then a strange epidemic occurred in the village, which caused a large number of members of the two clans to be damaged, and the strength of the village was greatly reduced. In order to strengthen the strength of Konoha Village, the village began to recruit other families, and today's Konoha Village was born. ”

"Hokage-sama was only able to use the wooden escape after that epidemic?"

"It seems like that, but I only heard about it from my mother. Well...... Why do you ask this? You don't want to learn Mu Dun too, do you? ”

"No, I just think it's amazing that Mu Dun can conjure a big tree directly from the ground, and if there are more fruits growing on the tree, then there is no need to buy fruit at all."

"So you're thinking about eating......"

"Yes, hee-hee!"

……

There are only three days left until the middle ninja exam.

The atmosphere in Konoha Village has not changed because of the approach of the middle ninja exam, because although this exam has a very special meaning for some people, but for most people, it is actually just a very ordinary performance, and the performance is only some lower ninja, and the combat power is not very strong, so it looks just average.

And I heard that there are only 16 candidates who took the middle ninja exam this time, which is less than in previous years.

So the only ones who really got nervous were these 16 candidates, and their families.

Among them, the most apprehensive may be Ape Fei, he is not actually nervous because of the exam, because he is rarely nervous.

It's just that these days, Ape Fei feels that there is always a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark, but he has never been able to find out where these eyes are, just like the subconscious uneasiness when the prey is spied on by a strong enemy.

……

Inside the Hokage's office.

Thousands of hands are still buried in the copywriting on the desk, and his work seems to be endless.

A man pushed the door open and walked in.

The only person who was allowed to enter the Hokage's office without knocking on the door was Uchiha Mountain Spring.

Zhu Jian said: "These days, does the ape fly to kill that child any special actions?" ”

Uchiha Izumi said: "There is no special move, but he seems to be very interested in Mu Dun ninjutsu, and he also asked from Miss Mizui, in the early days of Konoha Village, the painful history of the Thousand Hands and Uchiha clans, but Miss Mizui doesn't seem to know the truth of the matter." ”

Tsuruma sighed: "There are not many people who know the truth, even the well and her mother only thought that it was a natural disaster. ”

Pillar thought for a moment and continued, "Has Ape Fei Ri Slash ever been near the 'Sleepy Stream'? ”

"Nope." Uchiha Sanquan's expression changed, and he said, "Could it be that Hokage-sama, do you suspect that Sarutobi asked about Mu Dun, and it has something to do with that fox?" ”

Zhu Jian said: "The one who has the most to do with Mu Dun is that fox, can I not doubt it?" Even if Sarutobi is still just a child, the stakes are high, and I can't afford to be careless.

"Speaking of that fox, I don't think it's been a long time since I've seen it."

……

There are two hills to the west of Konoha Village, and there is a narrow passage between them.

It was supposed to be a valley, but because there was a small river running through it, it became a mountain stream.

Most of the people who walk into the mountain stream are sad, but when they come out of the mountain stream, they will become happy again, so people call this place "sleepy stream".

The one that flows through the sorrowful stream is actually the same river as the one next to the Xihe training ground, and those "sorrows" seem to be going far along this small river.

The entrance to the stream is quiet, and it doesn't seem to be any different from a normal mountain stream.

But in fact, near the entrance of the Sleepy Stream, there are always hidden guardians of the upper ninja level, and unless it is someone specially approved by the Hokage, no one else is allowed to enter the Sleepy Stream.

There is a huge natural stone cave in the sleepy stream, and there are countless stalactites and stalagmites dripping from time to time.

A damp cave like this one is generally dim.

Usually only the weak are willing to hide in such darkness, because the strong are usually brave enough to stand in the sun.

But there are exceptions, because the strong also have times of helplessness.

There is such a helpless fox in this cave.

The fox was huge, like a hill, with long, pointed ears, shiny white fangs, and nine huge tails!

No one would doubt that the nine-tailed fox was weak, and the chakra it emanated from it was enough to prove everything.

The strong are often lonely, especially the down-and-out strong.

But the nine-tailed fox is not alone, and there is a human woman in the cave with him.

The woman was dressed in white, she was twenty-five years old, and her name was Nanko Uzumaki.

Nanko Uzumaki is not from Konoha, she was commissioned by the Thousand Hands Pillar to guard the nine-tailed fox here.

Although the Uzumaki clan does not belong to Konoha Village, they have a deep relationship with the Thousand Hands clan, so Uzumaki Nanzi is willing to accept the commission of the Thousand Hands Pillar.

The Uzumaki Clan is particularly adept at using seals, but Uzumaki Nanko is the elite of the Uzumaki Clan, which is why Tsuruma asked Uzumaki Nanzi for help.

Nanko Uzumaki knew that once she accepted the commission of the Thousand Hands Pillars, it would mean that she would have to sacrifice a lot of things, but she did not hesitate.

Because she understands that guarding the nine-tailed fox is not only for Konoha Village, but also for the entire ninja world.

So, she's actually guarding the Vortex Clan.
