"Cut~ I'm really unlucky, the scroll of the sky, how do I remember that these three people are from the scroll of the earth?" Looking at the scroll in his hand that he had retrieved from the bound Rain Ninja, Naruto pursed his lips slightly unpleasantly.

After dealing with these three guys, he remembered that these three rain ninja wearing gas masks should be the dragon set players who helped Naruto and them get together two scrolls in the plot, but I don't know how to get to him, but the scrolls in their hands have become the same as him.

Naruto didn't know, in fact, it hadn't changed, it was just his mistake, these three people had the scroll of heaven in their hands, and the reason why Naruto's team was able to clear the level by snatching the scroll from them in the plot was because before that, Naruto and they met the trio of Orochimaru and Otoshiba, first their own scroll was destroyed by Orochimaru, and then they got the "Scroll of Earth" from the hands of Toth of Otoshinobi, which would allow them to complete the second exam by mistake after meeting Yunin.

But he can't be blamed for this, after all, when he read this comic, he was in junior high school in his previous life, and it is normal for some details to be forgotten after so many years.

"Forget it, let's do it first, maybe they can use this extra scroll to exchange for what they need when they meet Shikamaru." Unable to figure it out and bothering about it, Naruto put the scroll away and prepared to move on.

As for these three guys, let them fend for themselves, if it weren't for the fact that these three rain ninjas didn't show obvious killing intent from beginning to end, with his character, he would have sent them on the road a long time ago, and he wouldn't have just been knocked out and tied up.

Of course, the other reason is that these three people are too vegetable, he really can't do it, looking at the ninjutsu they use, except for the light stealth that hides the real body is a bit interesting, the others, including the earth escape that is intended to be used for sneak attack in the end, are all low-level road goods, and even the ninjutsu on the pirated seal book he got before is not as good, this kind of guy, it is better to say that they are ninjas than a group of ordinary people with chakra, three men, if you remove those illusions, I am afraid that Sakura will be able to solve them.

"Let's go."

No longer glancing at the three rain ninja tied to the tree, Naruto greeted Sasuke and Sakura, and jumped on the branch first, and the three of them headed towards the tower in the middle of the forest.

Although the time limit is five days, Naruto didn't intend to delay here for too long, he vaguely remembered that the second exam I Airo and they cleared the customs in less than two hours, although he didn't force it to be the same as me Airo and them, but tonight is the best to spend the night in the tower, no camping equipment at all, living in such a forest is obviously not what a person with mild obsessive-compulsive disorder like him wants.

After Naruto and the others left, with the "rustling" sound of the bushes, Orochimaru stood up, frowning slightly and looking in the direction where the three had left.

Obviously, Naruto's response to the encounter just now was a bit unexpected for him, and after the whole battle, Naruto and a flashbang solved all the problems, so that Sasuke, who was expecting him, had no chance to perform at all, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"You are free to move, and then I will be alone." After a while, Orochimaru didn't know what to think of, and without looking back, he instructed the two subordinates beside him.

"Yes." The two subordinates, who were also dressed as grass ninjas, immediately nodded yes, and then cast an instant and left in different directions.

After the two men left, Orochimaru also chased after Naruto in the direction they had left.

"Hehehehe, it looks like I'm going to have to test your weight myself, Sasuke-kun, hehehehe."

……

At the same time, Gangzitie and Izumo Kamizuki, who were the examiners this time, and the other examiner looked at the three corpses under their feet with solemn faces.

This is the Jizo Forest near the first examination room, where the corpses of three Kushinobi costumes have fallen, and the surrounding stone carvings have been stained with a lot of blood, making it eerie even during the day.

"It's really excessive, even the face has melted off." Gang Zitie looked at this cruel scene and sighed.

"Nope! It's not that simple. Hearing this, Izumo shook his head solemnly, "I have to inform Hongdou quickly, something is wrong." ”

As if seeing something strange, Izumo Kazuki signaled Gangzitie to protect the scene after speaking, and he hurried towards the 44th practice field by himself.

It stands to reason that on an occasion like the joint ninja exam, there will be individual casualties that will not make the ninjas of the organizer so nervous, after all, the contest between ninjas is a battle of life and death, even if it is a simple promotion exam, but the location of the corpse and the strange signs on it have aroused Izumo's vigilance, and he feels that things are not so simple.

"What did you say?!" The red bean's side, who received the Izumo report, changed his expression suddenly when he heard that the three corpses had lost their "faces" strangely, but he didn't care about the pills in his hand at all, and immediately followed Izumo to the scene of the incident.

When she came to the scene to confirm the body, Akinbei's face became more and more difficult to look at, and she recognized at a glance the ninjutsu that could cause this effect and the person behind it.

"This ...... That's right, it's the art of eliminating faces, and he's back......" Hongdou subconsciously covered his neck and muttered in his mouth.

Countless fragments of memories flashed through her mind, and in these fragments there was invariably a pale-skinned, snake-like man.

"Immediately notify the three generations of Hokage-sama and ask for at least two teams of shadows to support, and I'll track them down first!" After a moment, Hongdou immediately woke up from her memories, and realized that the problem was serious, and she ordered sharply to an examiner behind her.

Immediately, she jumped directly onto the treetops and chased towards the Forest of Death with all her might.

She had sworn that if she was allowed to meet that man again, she would not hesitate to kill him.

……

Turning their gaze back to Naruto's side, they galloped all the way to the tower in the middle of the forest after leaving the place where the rain shinobi was ambushed.

I don't know if it was luck or misfortune, they didn't encounter any enemies along the way, so the foot was extraordinarily fast, in less than 10 minutes, they had already traveled nearly five kilometers in a straight line, and there was only about half of the distance left from the central tower.

After all, it's a ninja, and it's the best forest for traveling, and even if you can conserve your physical strength, you're more than twice as fast as Naruto's five-kilometer full-speed run in his previous life.

"Hmph, don't you come yet, if you don't come again, we'll be there." Naruto in the middle of the journey glanced sideways at the back of his eyes, feeling a little puzzled, this kind of situation like waiting before the death penalty was really a bit torturous.

Although he couldn't feel any sight coming from behind him, he knew that the three of them must be within Orochimaru's line of sight.

Knowing Orochimaru's goal, he knew that this Forest of Death was undoubtedly the best place to put a spell on Sasuke, and unless Orochimaru did not hesitate to directly launch the "Konoha Collapse Plan", he would not be able to do whatever he wanted elsewhere before the third exam.

So if nothing else, Orochimaru should appear soon, if they get to the central tower, then there is no doubt that if Orochimaru wants to make a move, he will have to face Kakashi and the other shinobi.

Thinking of this, Naruto forced himself to calm down, ready to face the changes that might happen below in his best form.

"Boom ——!"

Sure enough, as he expected, just as he jumped onto a new tree, with a loud bang, a giant snake opened a huge kiss that was enough to swallow the elephant and killed them from the side, and I don't know how many trees were smashed along the way, and the whole neighborhood was trembling violently.

"It's good to come!" Naruto's spirit was shocked, and knowing that the main play had begun, he did not hesitate to pull out the ninja knife behind his back and voluntarily break away from the team, attracting the giant snake to rush towards him.

"From now on, you will be called 'One Eye'!" Naruto leaped into the air, dodging the serpent's first bite, aiming at one of the serpent's eyes as he fell, holding the ninja knife behind his back with both hands, and stabbing into it fiercely.

"Roaring ——!"

The serpent swayed wildly from his fatal blow, and the blood spurting from his left eye painted Naruto's entire body red.

"Give me death!" The murderous Naruto clenched his ninja knife tightly to prevent himself from being thrown out while still stabbing down with all his might.

"Bang!"

Eventually, perhaps at its limit, perhaps Naruto's murderous intent made it retreat, and the serpent turned into a cloud of smoke in its final roar and disarmed the spiritism and returned to where it had come from.

"Huhu~" Naruto, who was half-kneeling on the ground, stabbed his knife on the ground, gasping slightly, if it weren't for the blood stains he was covered in at the moment and the mess around him, it would be difficult for outsiders to imagine what happened in less than a minute just now.

"It's okay." At this time, Sasuke and Sakura also landed beside him, on alert to guard against a possible second wave of attacks.

"Bang Bang Bang-" With a crisp sound, a Kushinobi wearing a hat walked out of the woods in front of them, "What a beautiful reaction, to be honest you surprised me for the second time today, and put your name on it." ”

Orochimaru didn't seem to have any anger at all at at all at for Naruto's psychic beast that had seriously injured him, and swaggered out and looked at Naruto with curiosity in his eyes.

Orochimaru was indeed as he said, he was surprised by Naruto's performance, whether it was dealing with the ambush of the rain shinobi in front of him or the big snake just now, he didn't deal with it like a lower ninja who took the middle ninja exam for the first time, even if he was praised as the third ninja, he had to admit that he couldn't be as decisive and capable as Naruto at this age, which couldn't help but make him face up to the blonde boy in front of him.

"Before asking someone's name...... Forget it, my name is Naruto Uzumaki, you have to remember. "I wanted to learn Sasuke-style rhetorical questions coolly, but in the middle of the conversation, I suddenly felt that it was a bit like taking off my pants and farting, so I simply reported my name and finished the matter.

Although the man on the other side had a grassy face at this time, it was undoubtedly Orochimaru himself, and even if he didn't know the plot, he could feel it from the overwhelming murderous aura on his body.

Compared to Orochimaru, no matter how much he didn't slash, the murderous aura was as ridiculous as a child's incompetent rage, even if Orochimaru was just looking at him at this time, it made him feel as if he was being clenched by an invisible big hand, and his breathing was affected.

It can only be said that it is fortunate that he has been mentally prepared, otherwise he may really be unable to move in this murderous aura like Sasuke in the plot.

"I'm really dying...... his face was silent, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, among the masters he encountered, including Kakashi and Kai and other shinobi and even the three generations of Hokage, this guy opposite was definitely the most dangerous existence he had encountered so far.

He was a little envious of Naruto's rough nerves now, he really couldn't imagine where the original Naruto got the confidence to rush forward without changing his face even in the face of Orochimaru's existence.

"Vortex? It turned out to be you. After Orochimaru knew Naruto's name, he thought about it for a moment, and then quickly realized that he obviously knew the identity of Naruto's pillar, but then he frowned slightly and asked again, "Do you know who I am?" ”

"Hey." Naruto smiled when he heard this, looked directly at Orochimaru opposite and said, "It's really keen, it's worthy of the three ninjas, and sure enough, you can't show any flaws in front of a character like you, right?" Orochimaru. ”
