On the murmuring surface of the river, others were enjoying the cool breeze blowing in their faces, and Naruto's shadow clone was rowing hard. Without the previous leisurely posture, it is as if there is death chasing behind him.

The lazy afternoon time, the comfortable breeze, made the delicate and frail horse Yayun sitting with his back to the shadow doppelganger sleepy, and couldn't help yawning.

She suddenly saw a dazzling red light in the distance flash away, and came to her senses: "What is that?" Explosion? It seems that where we passed, could there be a fight there? ”

Uzumaki Xianglian, who had nothing to do and was in a daze, pushed her red-rimmed glasses, she turned around and saw nothing, and said, "Are you mistaken?" If you can see the explosion, why didn't you hear a single sound? ”

"How could I be wrong? Do you think I'm as myopic as you? ”

The letter in the stern of the ship also looked back and said, "There may really be someone fighting." Probably someone on one side will be able to do a powerful fire escape ninjutsu, and black smoke can be seen here. ”

The shadow clone who was standing on the bow of the boat with his back to the others paddling thoughtfully, a look of worry appeared on his face, and he quickly disappeared, but he just sighed: "It's really a Konoha village that is on par with (nuclear)." ”

Others don't know, so, the competitive Chunin exam has nothing to do with peace anyway, right?

What they didn't know was that the shadow clone had quietly sealed with one hand and used the Ice Escape Secret Technique Magic Mirror Ice Crystal to create an ice wall and freeze it under the bamboo raft, which was the back road left for the main body.

Even Bai himself, who could also create ice walls from a distance in the air, could not use the Magic Mirror Ice Crystal as a flying thunder god. Because of the transfer in the magic mirror ice crystal, there is also a limit to the distance within the line of sight. If you can't find where the ice wall is, how can you move it?

But for Naruto Amikaze, who has dual perception abilities, the line of sight is not a problem, and it is not beyond the range of the spell now. Especially in the state of immortal mode, both the range of immortal perception and spell casting is far beyond the normal state. So after he broke away from the battle with Orochimaru, he smoothly moved to the ice wall under the bamboo raft.

After Naruto came out of the ice wall, he used his transformation technique to turn the Kusanagi sword into a fish. By the way, he used the transformation technique to change back to his usual appearance, and the appearance of the immortal mode that has not disappeared is too conspicuous.

He then swam from the water to the front of the raft and gently put his hands on the underwater part of the raft. He only surfaced slightly on his back, only for the shadow clone to see.

"Ahh The shadow clone deliberately stumbled and fell towards Naruto Naruto, plopping, splashing a lot of water and white foam, and sinking into the water.

Uzumaki asked with concern, "Hey~ Are you okay?" ”

Kurama Yakumo took a sip: "Are you concerned about the chaos or are you courteous?" The ninja can tread water and walk, are you still worried that he will drown? ”

Uzumaki Xianglin's face flushed slightly, and he bowed his head and said nothing.

Naruto dived deeper before the shadow clone fell into the water, and the moment the shadow clone fell into the water and splashed, he immediately unlocked the shadow clone technique and surfaced in place of the shadow clone.

"The soles of my feet just now slipped. I caught a fish. Naruto Naruto lied without changing his face.

He climbed onto the raft and placed the Kusanagi sword beside him. His lower body was still in the water, and his upper body was lying on his back, looking at the white clouds in the sky, his chest rising and falling violently, and he was out of breath.

The letter is in the eyes, and the heart is doubtful. It stands to reason that although Naruto Bokaze rows very hard, he shouldn't suddenly be tired to this extent, it was normal just now.

As everyone knows, Naruto and Orochimaru have just had a fight. He and Orochimaru had only met for more than ten minutes, but in the face of Orochimaru's pressure, he was tormented like a year, and he felt that time passed so slowly. He was relaxed on the surface when facing Orochimaru, but his heartstrings were actually tight. Now relax and only feel physically and mentally exhausted.

Then he suddenly felt refreshed, and his whole body, from the inside out, was as comfortable as eating ginseng fruit. The heavy body became lighter, but it was not because of the immortal mode. It is as if a fresh vitality is injected into the limbs. In particular, the brain is clearer and clearer than ever, and it seems that it is not difficult to remember it.

"Hahaha......"

Naruto Wave burst out laughing heartily, and the others were a little confused. Just caught a fish, what's there to be happy about. I don't know that I thought he fell into the river and his brain was in the water, so he laughed for no reason.

Naruto Naruto's joy was palpable, not because he was glad for the rest of his life, but because he felt as if he had broken through. This similar feeling happened once, and then the strength grew by leaps and bounds for a while, and the strength growth slowed down. Only this time the feeling is stronger and clearer.

Naruto Naruto's heart realized: Chakra suddenly increased significantly, but not because of the body's ability to recover, probably because of the increase in mental energy. In this way, the breakthrough should be due to a breakthrough in mental power.

It's just that Naruto was confused, and he was a little puzzled about the reason for his breakthrough.

The last breakthrough can be said to be a natural result after hard work. If this time it was because of the increase in mental power, was there a reason to peek into the Nine-Tails? If it's because of the pressure of life and death, then why not a breakthrough? Or is it the accumulation of ordinary practice, and this battle is the catalyst, and it is a combination of both to break through?

Naruto Naruto, who couldn't figure it out, didn't delve into it anymore. Either way, it's good to break through. Compared with the growth of strength, the middle ninja exam is not so important.

If it weren't for someone watching from the side, he would have wanted to try a ninjutsu to try, so as not to have a happy time. This kind of thing can be known at a try, because the same ninjutsu can be used with different powers in different strengths.

He even complained to himself: For such a thing as a breakthrough, there is only a B grid with a long whistle, right? It's so low to have a long smile. Forget it, this kind of swagger is avoided.

Naruto Naruto Naruto said after a pause, "Let's go back to the land route next." ”

If it weren't for Naruto Uzumaki and Iara's incurrence, he had planned to get out of Orochimaru's hands and immediately go overland without stopping. After all, the waterway is much slower, and it is not convenient to hide.

Kurama Yakumo said, "Well, you can actually continue to travel some distance on the boat, right?" ”

She didn't want to go overland. I don't know if it's because of the embarrassment of being carried by Naruto Naruto, or because I understand Naruto's hard work and don't want to be a burden, or because I don't feel comfortable riding a bamboo raft because of the bumps on my back? The reason is known only to her.

"Anyway, the river won't just pass by the central tower, and we'll have to go overland sooner or later. It doesn't save much effort to continue riding the waterway now. It's better to get ashore as soon as possible and get to the central tower as soon as possible. ”

Naruto Bofu urged again, "What? Do you want me to dock the boat? You go first, and when you get ashore, try not to leave any visible footprints on the ground. I'll stay and take care of something. ”

As Shinwa Uzumaki Karen treads water and walks towards the shore, Kurama Yakumo consciously unfolds the realm of illusion.

"Wait a minute, I'm really in trouble, and I'll be fine soon."

Naruto Naruto rummaged through his backpack on the raft and found a scroll. This is a storage scroll specially prepared to store divine weapons after returning from earning a vote from the country of waves.

There are a total of 36 space-time ninjutsu sealing techniques on the scroll, which can store 36 different swords. As for why it's 36, it's because the list of 36 forbidden swords is very emotional, and it is simply a model in the collection world.

Except for the first compartment, where a few chakra knives were stored, the others were empty. Although the chakra knife can be called an excellent weapon, the Kusanagi sword is the first magic weapon in the true sense. As for whether there are 36 divine weapons in the ninja world, such a trivial matter does not matter.

He unraveled the transformation technique of the Kusanagi sword disguised as a fish, and deposited the Kusanagi sword in the second slot, so that he didn't have to worry about Orochimaru coldly taking the Kusanagi sword away. Orochimaru's ninjutsu should also have a limit of control range, so he made up his mind that he would use the Kusanagi Sword with confidence only after Orochimaru left Konoha Village.

Then he took out a chakra knife from the first compartment and put it to use.

Kurama Yakumo asked curiously, "Where did you get this long sword?" It can't be just fished out of the bottom of the river, right? ”

Naruto shook his head and smiled mysteriously, "The Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it." ”

"Cut, who is rare." Kurama Yakumo didn't ask any more.

"I'll do one more thing next, it's for Xiang Lian and Xin to see, so you don't have to hide it. The drill needs to be complete. ”

After finishing his work, Naruto used the transformation technique to transform the three of them into the form of the log stake that they had sat on as a small bench, and he used the shadow clone technique to create a shadow clone rowing boat.

"What's the point?"

"Used to confuse possible enemies. If the two of them had asked the same question, I would have answered the same question. ”

There is no need to deliberately say the matter of Orochimaru, it is scary.

Then Naruto Naruto carries Kurama Yakumo on his back and catches up with Shin and Uzumaki Karao.

Of course, in the eyes of Shin and Uzumaki Karo, Naruto Wave was left behind to arrange a disguise, and then chased after the three of them.
