On the day of the Zhongnin exam competition, there was a special venue dozens of kilometers outside Wuyin Village.

The sky is good, and even the dense fog with fog that lingers all year round is much thinner, giving people enough bright vision.

However, the venue looked like it had been built improvised: apart from some basic competition facilities, there was only a high platform that was apparently improvised with the Tu Dun Ninjutsu and a rudimentary, empty square.

In the distance of the venue, you can see a narrow half-moon shaped lake around it.

If you look down from above, you can see that the lake looks like a crescent moon, and the venue where people are standing at this moment is two months between the crescent moons.

At this moment, Mizukage Yakura, who was standing on the high platform, was making an impassioned and formulaic speech, talking about topics comparable to hypnotic illusions.

And the bustling ninjas in the audience, from different ninja villages in the ninja world, are also very face-saving and do not desert each other.

After all, no matter how harmless Yakura looks or how boring his speech is, his reputation alone is enough to make these fledgling shinobi feel intimidated.

Still, there are always people who make the exception...

"Y-Why are you here?"

Iwain's genius girl, Black Earth, shouted at Tamu in shock.

Last time, she suffered a lot of losses in Shayin's exam, and she couldn't be promoted to Zhongnin because of the misfortune caused by Tamu.

After returning to the land of earth, Heitu followed his grandfather to practice penance for nearly a year, just to show his skills in the next transnational ninja exam.

Although in the ninja world, the vast majority of the middle ninja were promoted through the internal assessment of the village.

But whether it is a noble ninja or a common person, they all know clearly: a ninja who can be successfully promoted in the highly competitive middle ninja exam is the best among his peers.

As the genius of Iwakuin and the granddaughter of the three generations of Tsuchikage, Black Earth is naturally unwilling to simply receive the vest of the middle ninja like those mediocre people.

She longs for a higher stage, and Black Earth does have the strength to be proud of.

However, Heitu once again saw the fat toad in the examination room...

"Haven't you already been promoted? There is still a face to make trouble in the middle ninja exam! ”

As soon as he saw Tam, Black Earth's face turned a little blue:

is so strong that he came to bully the lower ninja in the exam, not to mention that last time Tamu also recruited a giant bomb and almost took tens of thousands of people to the sky together;

Not to mention that Tamu had a bad taste for her, so that the genius girl of Iwakuku, the grandson of the third generation of Tsuchikage, experienced what it was like to be a maid...

"Black soil?"

Tamu was also a little surprised, and then said with some meaning: "I'm here because- I'm a psychic beast!" ”

"Don't you see my contractor sitting above me...?"

Only then did Heitu notice that there was a little girl with blue eyes sitting above Tamu's head: she looked like she was two or three years younger than her, but she had already put on Konoha forehead protection, and it seemed that she was also a contestant who had come to take the middle ninja exam.

But...

"You're still a psychic beast?"

Hei Tu's face became more and more ugly: Doesn't this mean that this fat toad has changed his name and is going to the novice area to abuse vegetables again?

"Little girl, usually read more books and newspapers. I'm kind of a celebrity..."

Tamu said lightly.

"You, you!"

Heitu doesn't know what to say: when you go out with this psychic beast, do you still need to compare this exam? It's blatant cheating!

Thinking about it, Kuroto couldn't help but feel a little resentful in his eyes when he looked at Hinata, and his expression was full of envy, jealousy and hatred for "other people's children".

"Don't worry..."

Hinata smiled lightly and said to the depressed young lady in front of her, "Tam, he won't compete, I'll just go alone." ”

"Huh? That's good! ”

Hei Tu's frowning brows suddenly relaxed, and his impression of Hinata couldn't help but be a little better, but he didn't consider Hinata's other meaning at all: To deal with you, she doesn't need psychic beasts.

"Don't be too happy...", but Tamu kindly reminded, "You can't win against our Konoha!" ”

"Humph! You've got me covered! ”

Heitu said confidently, "I won't lose to you Konoha little ghosts!" ”

Because of his resentment towards Tam, Heitu couldn't help but fire the map cannon as soon as he spoke: obviously she was also a girl who was just eleven years old, but she successfully attracted the hatred of several "little ghosts" standing beside Tam.

At this time, a round of warm applause suddenly rang out, reminding the deserters: the boring speech is over, and it's time to get down to business.

Kuroto didn't care about being angry with Konoha's little opponents, and hurriedly focused on Mizukage Yakura.

I only heard Yakura's voice sounding slowly, and it clearly reached everyone's ears:

"Today, we are holding an audition for the Zhongnin exam."

"And the audition method is very simple, do you see the lake over there?"

Following Yakura's guidance, everyone turned their eyes to the long, narrow, half-moon-shaped lake in the distance.

"The following ninja squad is a unit, and the boat sets off from the east side of this venue; Take the lake as a track and circle back to the west side of the venue. ”

"Teams that can finish in an hour will qualify for the preliminary round."

As he spoke, another team of fog ninjas came out of the queue on the side, and they all took out the storage scrolls.

After a puff of smoke, dozens of dinghy appeared on the ground of the square.

Actually tested to drive a boat?

And it's a speedboat with an engine ...

Everyone couldn't react: Is there any difficulty in driving this kind of boat around the lake?

Wait a minute...

Another important question was immediately discovered, and finally someone asked:

"Mizukage-sama..."

"The east and west sides of this venue are still several kilometers away from the water, how can you drive a boat there?"

Could it be that this audition is actually a triathlon physical fitness test for them to lift the boat into the water and back again?

Yakura smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'm prepared." ”

When everyone was puzzled, Yakura just jumped slightly, and quickly sealed at the side of the venue while still in the air stage, and finally burst out with a powerful tailed beast chakra on his body:

【Water Escape: Isoto Waterfall】!

In an instant, a massive stream of water fell into the sky, whistling away in the direction of the lake like a tsunami;

The huge potential allowed Yakura's Water Escape Ninjutsu to vividly play the effect of Earth Escape Ninjutsu opening mountains and splitting the ground, squeezing out a wide crack several kilometers long on the flat ground.

By the time the water had subsided, a wide ditch had appeared on one side of the venue, connecting with the long, narrow, half-moon-shaped lake.

used such a large-scale water escape ninjutsu, but Yakura didn't even breathe, just turned around and walked to the other side of the venue, raising his hand to make another earth-shattering superweight water escape.

As a result, under the shocked gaze of more than 200 participants, the originally solid, continuous ground for several kilometers was actually pushed out of the wide canal by Yakura's water escape ninjutsu, and it happened to be connected to the lake into a circular waterway...

"Is this the strength of Mizukage? It's scary! ”

"A ninja can do this..."

For a moment, almost everyone was so surprised that they were almost stunned, and they couldn't help but praise this great power.

Tamu understood what Yakura meant:

This kind of link is deliberately arranged, which is nothing more than to show friendliness and show off muscles at the same time; Otherwise, with their new style of "smile service", maybe after a long time, they will be pinched as soft persimmons...

"Let's get started!"

Yakura just said lightly, and returned to the high platform lightly, showing the demeanor of a master.

As a result, the lower ninjas from various countries, under the arrangement of the fog hidden ninjas, all received speedboats belonging to their lower ninja squad.

The electronic timing board at the venue has already begun the countdown work.

"Quick! Let's go! ”

At this time, more than a dozen teams had already sailed out, and the follow-up teams couldn't wait to follow.

Heitu was about to launch the boat as he pushed the boat, but was stopped by Chitu: "Wait..."

Heitu was a little puzzled: "What are you waiting for?" ”

Compared with the impulsive girl Black Soil, the simple-looking Red Earth is more inclined to a resourceful ninja:

"This circular waterway adds up to dozens of kilometers of waterways."

"And Wuyin even equipped each group with a motorized speedboat, and there was no requirement for even a racing ranking."

"It's too easy to run the track in under an hour..."

Sure enough, as soon as Chitu's words were finished, the teams that rushed the most fiercely in front of them had already encountered a mutation:

I saw that the lake was surging, and it was actually seven or eight giant water beasts of different shapes that came out at one time.

Some of these strange aquatic animals resemble octopuses, whale sharks, and crocodiles, and it's hard to imagine that these creatures could inhabit such humble lakes.

Not only are they ferocious and huge, but they are also extremely aggressive, pounce on the approaching dinghy as soon as they appear.

Caught off guard, the boats of three teams capsized in the attack of these water beasts;

Even a few weak shinobi died directly under the sharp teeth of the strange fish, and the oozing blood suddenly stained a large area of the lake red.

And the living shinobi were also struggling with the fierce beasts in the water, and from time to time there would be a terrible scream and the sound of flesh being torn.

The originally clear and transparent water of the lake is becoming more and more scarlet...

Such an infiltrating picture made the ninjas of various countries who originally went forward and rushed out of the boat couldn't help but stagnate, and then they all remembered:

The middle ninja exam, but it's going to die...

What's more, this is still the former land of blood mist.

And the terracotta seemed to have expected it, and just said leisurely:

"It seems that Wu Yin has raised a lot of specialties in the lake for this exam!"

"Hiding murder under the calm of the water, very foggy style..."

It's a pity that the image of the red earth is too strong, and even if he says such lines, he doesn't have the momentum of a resourceful ninja at all...

"Cut..."

In the face of such a bloody scene, Heitu is still full of confidence: "It's just some small tricks." ”

Then, a sly smile hung on the face of the black earth:

"It doesn't seem to say in the rules of the race that you have to drive the boat to the finish line, right?"

Chitu looked at Heitu in some surprise, and he immediately understood his junior sister's thoughts.

"Then, it's time to show the results of my penance with my grandfather these days!"

"Super Light and Heavy Rock Technique!"

The technique of light and heavy rocks is a common earth escape ninjutsu used to lighten matter.

The Super Light and Heavy Rock Art is the secret technique of the three generations of Tsuchikage, which is not only far more powerful than the ordinary version, but also can be used on the ninja themselves, allowing people to soar freely in the sky.

This ninjutsu was not mastered even by Heitu's father, Loess, but she learned her grandfather's flying stunt with her talent and hard work.

With the coquettish cry of the black soil, she actually flew into the sky with the red soil, and then slowly flew along the channel...

All the shinobi couldn't help but look up in surprise: Can it still be like this?

Flying in the sky like this, you don't need to face the water monsters in the lake at all, it's like cheating!

The invigilator ninja of the fog also couldn't help but look at it, but instead didn't stop their behavior, but instead showed appreciation on their faces: being able to master the flying ninjutsu, which is extremely rare in the ninja world, is a sign of strength in itself.

"Haha!" Hei Tu couldn't help but laugh proudly, and the mocking laughter echoed indecently in the audience: "Konoha little ghosts, I'll go first!" ”

"Oh?"

Hinata's voice rang out not far behind her.

Hei Tu was shocked: How is it possible? I'm in heaven now!

When she looked back, she saw Hinata, Kari, and Sasuke sitting leisurely on a large suspended white ball, quickly chasing after them in an extremely strange manner.

It didn't take long for the slow-flying black soil to be thrown behind by Hinata's big white ball in one go...

Then, the black soil could only watch their dusty backs silently eat ashes...

And Orochimaru, disguised as a Kusakure ninja and ready to wait for an opportunity to attack Sasuke, looked at the sky speechlessly, and set his eyes on the big white ball that flew farther and farther...

"Damn! This girl can fly! ”
