"I'll explain the rules first......" led everyone to the forty-fourth practice ground, and Hongdou, who was standing at the door, turned around and took out a stack of papers with a malicious smile.

“…… It's also known as 'The Forest of Death, and you should understand what kind of place this is from the name, so I need you to ......sign these consent forms before the second exam begins.'"

The old routine of the middle ninja exam, the red bean was extremely terrifying over there, Naruto, who had known that there would be such a set, was not in the mood to listen to those meaningless intimidations, and his attention was now mainly focused on the three straw men with hats not far behind him.

"It's so pitiful, Sasuke, to be targeted by such a disgusting guy......" Even without looking back, Naruto could sense Orochimaru's greedy gaze, and couldn't help but glance sympathetically at Sasuke next to him.

While carrying a deep hatred in the sea of blood, his own blood succession is also targeted by the perverts of the three ninja levels, Sasuke's life is a perfect interpretation of what it means to be ill-fated, which is also too miserable.

"Good thing you ran into me, I just like to hate that slippery guy too." Naruto's eyes lit up with excitement, and he gave himself a reason in his heart.

That's right, next he is going to wrestle with one of the three ninjas in the back.

At this time, when it came to Orochimaru, it was commendable to say that it sounded good, but if it was realistic, it was completely an act of not measuring himself and using his mantis arm as a car, but he still decided to try it.

If you ask him why, he can say a lot, such as sympathizing with Sasuke, how could he be a colleague and watch Sasuke being branded by Orochimaru or something, but in the end, he may not be able to tell what kind of madness this is, but he still has to do this today.

"Hehe, if you succumb to power, isn't it meaningless to be born a man." The clenched fists were trembling slightly unconsciously, maybe it was fear or maybe excitement, Naruto somehow remembered such a sentence in his mind.

……

“…… Okay, that's all for the rules, now you go there with the signed consent form to exchange it for a scroll, remember that everyone has to sign it, and three consent forms can be exchanged for a pair of scrolls. While Naruto was thinking about making a big news, Azuki finally finished introducing the rules of the next five days of survival trials and motioned for the candidates to come forward and receive the consent form.

Since Naruto didn't get dismounted from the beginning of the game as in the plot, he naturally didn't have to help issue the consent form, but followed the crowd to line up to receive it.

"Really, I didn't expect that I still need to sign this kind of thing for the middle ninja exam." After receiving the consent form, Sakura said with a slight complaint.

Not only him, Naruto also noticed that there were also a lot of dissatisfied whispers among the others, and it was clear that signing something of a similar nature to a "critical illness notice" was not a pleasant thing, which meant that the only people who could take responsibility for their lives were really himself and his companions next.

Naruto felt that it didn't matter, he had never counted on Konoha since six years ago.

"Let's go, let's see what our scrolls are." After signing, Naruto and Sasuke-Sakura made their way to the small wooden pavilion that was blocked.

The reason why this is so is to prevent others from targeting her when she receives the scroll, it seems that Azuki is not simply intimidating, she really intends to eliminate most of them in the second exam.

The number of people who successfully reached the 44 practice field is 78, that is, 26 groups, the scrolls are divided into two types, heaven and earth, if nothing else, they will receive 13 scrolls of heaven and 13 scrolls of earth respectively, and the probability of encountering the scroll that they need is 50%, and it has not officially started, and it is already destined to eliminate half of the people, taking into account the luck component, this number will only be lower.

"The scroll of the sky, then the target is 'earth', I hope you have better luck, give." Naruto, who took the scroll handed over by the examiner, said, pausing and then handing the scroll to Sasuke on the side.

"Huh?" Sasuke subconsciously took the scroll, frowning slightly, "Let's let Sakura take it, her heart is more careful." With that, he handed it to Sakura again.

"This is ......," Sakura subconsciously took it and looked at the scroll of heaven in her hand.

I was about to say something, but I was directly interrupted by Naruto: "Let's go, we're Group 12, and the entrance is over there." ”

Practice Ground 44 is not called No. 44, but is named after the fact that there are a total of 44 entrances, and each team that passes the first test will enter the driving range according to the test number of their respective group.

Naruto's test number was 12, and the group of Orochimaru, whom he paid special attention to, was 15, which was very close to each other.

Fortunately, this training ground, which has the title of Death Forest, is quite large, and it is a full ten kilometers from them to the central tower, which means that this is a huge forest with a radius of ten kilometers, even if the entrance is very close, it will not be without time to react.

The trio opened the barbed wire gate on No. 12 and officially stepped into the forest.

"Ah——!h

As a result, as soon as she came in, there was a terrible scream in the distance, which scared Sakura subconsciously.

"What? What?! Has it started now? Sakura looked at the source of the voice and said with a trembling twist.

Even though she had already understood through the malicious rules that it was essential to fight after entering, she didn't expect everything to happen so quickly.

"Hehe, it's normal, there's always some anxious guys." Naruto smiled lightly, looked around at Nishishu and said, raising an eyebrow at Sasuke as he spoke.

As soon as he entered, he felt a malicious gaze, knowing that someone was ambushed here, and his heart was better than coming sooner, and he was worried about how to start his plan, and when he saw someone sending it to the door, he immediately gave Sasuke a look.

"Hmph, that's just right, I can't wait." Sasuke quietly took out the kunai and snorted coldly.

Although he didn't notice anything unusual, his trust in Naruto made Sasuke ready to fight as soon as he received the signal.

"What are you talking about?" At this time, only Sakura was still a little confused.

However, she was smart enough to see the price, and when she saw Sasuke's serious appearance, she immediately put away the scroll, and also took out the kunai to prepare for battle.

While the three of them were on guard, the three of Orochimaru, who had been following them, were hiding in the bushes not far away, looking at Sasuke with hungry eyes.

"Sasuke-kun, let me see how your talent compares to Itachi before you get you, don't let me down." Subconsciously stretched out that disgusting long tongue and licked his lips, Orochimaru slowly muttered to himself.

The reason why he didn't make an immediate move was because when he arrived, he found that someone else had already targeted Sasuke and them, it was three ninjas from the Rain Ninja Village, and it just so happened that Orochimaru, who was looking forward to the new "container" in front of him, was trying to see if his performance was as talented as the rumors.

At the same time, under Orochimaru's observation, three rain shinobi dressed in pitch-black and wearing gas masks were leaning out of the trunk of the tree behind Naruto little by little, as if they had grown out of the tree.

And the three rain ninjas were depicting Naruto and Sasuke with their backs to them preparing to make a move.

"Ah, Sasuke-kun watch your back!" Sakura suddenly shouted loudly.

But it was her best position, and in the midst of vigilance, one of the rain ninjas' movements was slightly larger, just to be noticed by her afterglow.

"Hmph, I'm waiting for you." Unsurprisingly, Sasuke spun around and swept his kick, dodging his opponent's thrust and kicking him on the wrist.

"What?" However, Sasuke was startled and immediately retreated.

It turned out that his attack just now actually skipped the opponent's body directly, as if it was hit in the air, and this abnormality immediately made him vigilant, and at the same time opened the writing wheel eye.

"Be careful, these are phantoms." Through the writing wheel eye, Sasuke immediately saw the essence of the three people behind him. Reminder.

At the same time, he looked around for the essence of these people.

"I know, but ......" Naruto calmly watched as one of them rushed over with a kunai, but kicked sideways into the air to the man's right.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, a figure was forced to appear in the air, and was kicked out by Naruto.

"It's not all phantoms, the main body should be hiding aside, with the phantom's attack, it's really a classic illusion match." Naruto retracted his feet, glanced at the blood that had been spurted out by the man on the ground, and said with a smile.

With a simple look, he has already judged the level of these guys, and it is no wonder that he will use this low-level illusion to sneak attack, judging from the feedback of this kick just now, the head-to-head duel is a completely vulnerable opponent.

"You've me off completely, Konoha imp." At this time, the forest resounded with the angry shouts of the rain ninja, which should be the one who was kicked away by Naruto just now.

At the same time, along with this guy's incompetent rage, countless rain ninjas crowded the place like mushrooms.

"Hand over the scroll if you know each other, or we'll make your death ugly." Dozens of phantoms surrounded Naruto in layers, and they said in unison.

"That's it? Are you trying to scare me to death with these apparitions? Naruto was amused by the rain shinobi, it was the first time he had seen someone intimidate him with an illusion that was almost the level of an ordinary clone technique.

Not to mention that these are very low-level illusions, even entities like shadow clones can easily solve them, from the beginning of perceiving the sight of these three people, he already has a rough idea in his heart, these people give him the feeling that they are not as good as the ghost brothers encountered in the country of waves.

However, these rain ninja dishes are dishes, but they are just the right thing for Naruto to use.

"I'm not going to waste my time, I'll show you something good, Sasuke, you pay attention to closing your eyes." Facing the slowly approaching phantom, Naruto, who knew the plans of these rain ninjas, did not play his cards according to the routine at all, and directly took out a flashbang.

"Bang ——!"

With a slightly piercing roar, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out in the forest, and the phantoms of those rain ninjas melted like ice and snow with this strong light, and the clearing was cleared.

This is the disadvantage of this kind of illusion and ordinary clone, because most of these techniques use light to act, and it is nothing to use it in a very short period of time to confuse the opponent, but counting on such a technique as the main means Naruto can only say that they want to be blind, and a flashbang directly solves the problem.

"Catch you—it's your turn." After the bright light ended, Naruto appeared above the heads of the three rain ninjas who were using Earth Escape to cooperate with the phantom sneak attack at any time, showing a playful smile.
