"The way to really pass the first round of the Zhongnin exam is," said Nubi in the province at the end, "to survive these ten days." ”

Nubi in the province is right. And this was also known by Chu Yue at the beginning of the first round of the Zhongnin exam.

In the first round of the middle ninja exam, there was no middle ninja at all. It's just that the organizer of the Fog Hidden Village lied that there was, and gathered all the lower ninjas on an isolated island, saying that if they didn't find the middle ninja, they would all fail the exam. In order to fight against each other's suspicions, they even prepared food for everyone for half the time.

So, the shinobi who didn't know the situation began to fight...... A variety of reasons lead to different battles large and small. In the end, more than half of the lower ninja failed in the first round of the middle ninja exam, that is, died.

I have to admire the means of this foggy hidden village. And......

Chu Yue smiled, really looking forward to the second and third rounds of exams.

Although Chu Yue knew from the beginning that the people who took the exam were all shinobi, Chu Yue didn't want to talk about it. First, no one may believe him, and coming to do so will definitely make the ninjas of Fog Hidden Village notice that it is not good for Chu Yue's next two rounds of exams.

Therefore, what Chu Yue did was just tell Tuyan and the three of them to stay in the house and not to go elsewhere to fight. I just stayed in the house like I told the three of them. In these 10 days, I have maintained a state of not offending me and not offending anyone.

The three sisters and brothers of Tuyan listened to Nubi's words in the province, and they all sweated for a while, and then they were all glad to have listened to Chu Yue's words and did not provoke others. Everyone's goal is just to pass the middle ninja exam, and if there is an unexpected situation, you will lose more than you lose.

The big ship soon arrived at its destination, Wuyin Village.

The fog still hasn't cleared, and Nubi in the province has told everyone before getting off the boat that there is a place to register on the dock, and after getting off the ship, register at the registration office first, and then go back to his house. If you don't register, you will fail the first round of exams.

Although the fog made it difficult to see what was on the dock from the boat, after getting off the boat and walking a dozen steps on the shore, you could see that there were many tables left the dock, and there were many ninjas sitting behind the tables.

Chu Yue came directly to a table and said, "The Zhongnin exam, the first round of exams is over. ”

"Show me your admission ticket." Said the ninja behind the table.

Chu Yue took out the admission ticket, the ninja looked at it, then took out a notebook and registered, stamped a seal on Chu Yue's admission ticket that "passed the first round of the Zhongnin exam", and returned the admission ticket to Chu Yue.

"That's it." The ninja said, smiling at Chu Yue, "Congratulations on passing the first round, but don't be careless, the second round is also not easy to pass." ”

"Thank you." Chu Yue nodded and said.

After receiving his admission ticket, Chu Yue walked out of the dock - outside the dock, there were many ninja teachers waiting for their students there. Kakashi and Shisui are also there.

After the three Tuyan sisters and brothers got off the boat, they wanted to thank Chu Yue first, but because of the dense fog, they couldn't see Chu Yue after getting off the boat, so they had to register first. When I registered, I happened to see Chu Yue leave, and the things I thanked could only be put down first.

After the registration was completed, the three Tuyan siblings also walked towards the warehouse and mound group outside the dock.

Seeing that his students were in good spirits and came over, Cang and Qiu smiled a little proudly.

"It's worthy of being a student of my Cang and Qiu group." Cang and Qiu said to the three Tuyan siblings, "The first round of exams should have passed easily, right?" ”

Iwabe smiled awkwardly and did not answer.

After all, there is a large part of Chu Yue's reason for passing this round of exams so easily.

"Don't be careless, though." Kura and Qiu said, "There are still two rounds of exams, cheer up!" ”

……

Back at the hotel, Chu Yue told Kakashi and Shisui about the first round of exams.

"This Fog Hidden Village is quite interesting." Kakashi said with a smile, "The first round of exams, although Shinobu was a little dissatisfied, but it was also very effective. ”

"yes." Zhishui nodded and said, "I got rid of most of the incapable shinobi in one fell swoop." ”

"However, compared to the last time in the middle ninja exam in Fog Hidden Village, it seems to have been reduced in difficulty, right?" Kakashi thought for a moment and said.

"Well, it's really made a little less difficult." Zhishui said, "Maybe it's because the Fog Hidden Village also felt that the last middle ninja exam was too cruel, right?" After all, the third round of the originally planned exam failed to be launched. ”

Last time, the first round of the middle ninja exam in the Fog Hidden Village was the task of finding the water blue flower on the island (for details, please see Chapter 44 (268) of the book "Volume 5 Naruto World" Porcelain Country). In this task, there are only ten indigo flowers, and there are other complex effects, and the pass rate is miserable.

"Chu Yue, in the first round of the Zhongnin exam this time, how many people passed in the end?" Kakashi asked Chu Yue.

"I don't know the exact number of people, but it's about a third of the number of people who took the test." Chu Yue said.

"Tomorrow is the second round of exams." Zhishui said, "Go! Go and celebrate the first round of Chu Yue's mid-ninja exam! ”

"Okay~~" Chu Yue said immediately.

Wuyin Village is also seaside, and most of the restaurants in the village are seafood restaurants. This is also a characteristic of Wuyin Village. Since you have come to Wuyin Village, it is natural to have a good time with all kinds of seafood.

The so-called celebration is that Chu Yue, Kakashi, and Zhishui found a luxury seafood restaurant, and then had a beautiful meal. Of course, in the same restaurant, there is also a strange customer wearing sunglasses and a trench coat who is also eating.

After eating, go back to the hotel, rest well, and prepare for the second round of the Shinobi exam tomorrow.

The next day, after resting for the night, Chu Yue, who had taken care of his body, walked out of the hotel with Kakashi and Zhishui full of energy.

The second round of the middle ninja exam is still in the square where the last meeting was made. It's just that now in the square, compared to the first round, it has become much more deserted.

"Chu Yue!" As soon as Chu Yue came, he heard the voice of the Earth and Rock Division.

Looking in the direction of the sound, the three Tuyan siblings ran over.

"Thank you very much for the first round of exams!" The Ministry of Earth and Rock said to Chu Yue.

"Thank you very much!" Narakuko also said.

"Uh...... I didn't do anything. Chu Yue said, "Being able to pass the exam is your strength." ”

"If it weren't for Chu Yue, we might have encountered a dangerous ......," Zhizhu said, "Chu Yue's choice is too right!" ”

"Huh." Chu Yue had no choice but to smile, it would not be good to say more.

At this time, Chu Yue and Tu Yan's three siblings suddenly heard that a boy next to them said, "Lin Xue, look, those boys are also there." ”

This voice made Chu Yue and Tuyan look over, and they were three people who were somewhat familiar.

"Hmph, I'm pretty skilled." The girl named Lin Xue said.

"Huh." The other boy of the three suddenly smiled strangely.

These three people are the disciples of Terumi Ming. They also passed the first round of exams. However, Chu Yue did not meet the three of them in the first round of exams.

If they can't even pass the first round of exams, then the three of them will be disciples of Zhaomei in vain.

And seeing that Chu Yue and the four of them had paid attention, the girl immediately showed a disdainful look at Chu Yue.

Just as Iwabu was a little angry and wanted to go over and say something, another voice caught everyone's attention.

"Ahem...... "Someone coughed twice with a megaphone in the center of the fan-shaped square, which is where Nubi stood last time in the province. It's not the sound of a deliberate cough to attract attention, but a really weak cough.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

"Ah, I'm sorry...... "I'm not in good health, so I have a little cough when I speak, so I hope you don't mind." ”

This is a male teacher who looks thin at first glance, not only thin, but also a little weak in body, and his slightly bent waist seems to tell others that this is a patient who is about to die. The voice is also very weak, the feeling of an old man who has been sick for a long time.

Although this man is weak in every way, no one dares to underestimate him. Moreover, because of the previous teacher, Nubi in the province, after this teacher spoke, the square instantly fell silent. Bu Yi had no choice but to endure it and stay with Chu Yue.

After coughing twice, the teacher said, "My name is Iwanaga Ke, and I am the examiner in charge of the second round of your Zhongnin exam this time. So, next, ahem...... Next, please follow me to the exam venue and remember to bring your admission ticket. ”

After saying that, this examiner named Iwanaga Ke walked in front first, and walked towards the other side with all the shinobi. Similarly, teachers are not allowed to accompany them.

The shinobi followed Iwanaga to a place that looked like a wild forest, but this forest was the same as the forest of death in Konoha Village, surrounded by iron fences, and there were signs on the iron fence that said "No Entry" and "Dangerous Location".

"This is the water mist forest in the village." "Some of you may have been here before. ”

After Yan Yongke finished speaking, Chu Yue immediately noticed that some of the Shinobi of the Fog Hidden Village showed some frightened expressions.

"The second round of exams is very simple." Still weak, Iwanaga said, "In the center of the Mist Forest, there is a Mist Lake. In the center of the misty lake, there is an island house. In the island house, there are three rooms, each with four **. ”

It seemed that he had said too much at once, and although he didn't cough, it was still a little laborious, so Iwanaga paused for a moment before continuing, "This exam is a team competition, but the team registration is only done at the end of the exam. ”

"In each room, there must be a minimum of three people and a maximum of four people. At the end of the exam, the people in the room who are still alive are the ones who passed the exam. The living people in each room are registered as a team. ”

Coughing again, Iwanaga continued, "However, as long as there are more than four people in each room, or if there are not enough three people, then even if it is in the room, it will be treated as a failure. ”

"In other words, in this second round of the Zhongnin exam, at most twelve people passed the exam, and at least, no one passed the exam." Iwanaga said weakly, "The exam time is twenty-four hours. Tomorrow this time, there will be an examiner who will go to Shimaya to register as a member of the team. ”

"Of course, if you pass this exam, you will have the status of a middle ninja. However, after passing, you will also have to take the third round of exams. ”

"Wait a minute, and you'll be randomly assigned to the various entrances of the forest to prepare for the exam." Iwanaga Ke said, "The other rules, Nubi in the province has already told you, so I won't say more......

"So...... Ahem, any questions? Iwanaga asked.

One of Shinobi raised his hand and asked unnaturally, "That...... If you don't pass the exam, will you be killed? ”

"No, it won't." "If you don't pass the exam, you fail the exam." However, we will not guarantee your safety. ”

"Whew......" Shinobu breathed a sigh of relief. Apparently not going to fight for those twelve spots.

This lower ninja is the lower ninja who Chu Yue noticed and showed a frightened expression after seeing this mist forest.

Another shinobi raised his hand and asked, "Teacher Iwanaga, can you tell us how many people took the exam?" ”

When this question was asked, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

It seemed that everyone's attention shifted to Iwanaga Ke, and the scene was quiet and a little scary for a while.

Still weak, Iwanaga looked around, was silent for a moment, and then said, "There are ...... candidates who participated in the second round of the Zhongnin exam. Ahem...... In total, seventy-two shinobi. ”

“！！！”

Seventy-two people!

If Chu Yue is not mistaken, there are a total of one hundred and seventy-three Xia Ren who participated in the first round of exams, that is to say, one hundred and one people died in the first round of exams......

And among these seventy-two people, it is only possible for a maximum of twelve people to pass the second round of exams!

Exam pass rate...... It's a little too low......

Chu Yue believed that at this time, there must be some people who had already retreated, but everyone knew that if they said that they would not take the exam at this time, there would be only one end......

Speaking of the format of this competition, it is somewhat similar to the first round of the last Zhongnin exam held in Wuyin Village. It's all team exams, but the rules of this competition are simpler than the first round of the last exam, but at the same time they are more violent and direct.

If last time there were many factors, this time, there are only two factors.

First, strength, the most important of all factors.

Second, people's hearts. One thing that is common to both exams is that team registration is done at the end of the exam.

There are very few lone wanderers like Chu Yue, and most of the lower ninja are exams that come in a group. Although the first round may have cost the team members, there are still partners. After the exam starts, there is no interference from outsiders, and in such a life-and-death situation, how much you trust your teammates determines how long you can live.

Wuyin Village always plays well with this hand. Chu Yue sighed.

"Chu Yue came alone this time, right?" Tuyan Naroko asked Chu Yue.

"yes." Chu Yue nodded.

"Then let's do it together!" Naroko said.

"Huh?"

"There are four people in a room anyway." Tuyan Naluozi said, "Plus Chu Yue, you're just right." ”

"Hmm...... Okay......" Chu Yue nodded.

The four of them agreed on a location to round in the Mist Forest, and then separated.

The three sisters and brothers of Tuyan actually took the initiative to invite Chu Yue to join, which was beyond Chu Yue's expectations. Although the three of them and Chu Yue are also relatively familiar, if you want to say that you can hand over life and death to each other, it is still far behind.

However, since he was invited, Chu Yue naturally would not refuse.

Now Chu Yue doesn't have a team, and the three Tuyan sisters and brothers are already the best choice. Otherwise, Chu Yue would have to occupy a room by herself, which would be the most dangerous.

Soon, according to the exam number, everyone was randomly assigned to an entry point in the Water Mist Forest.

There are a total of eighteen entry points to the Mist Forest, and the number of participants is seventy-two, which is exactly four people per entry point.

The other three Shinobi Chu Yue who were at the same entry point with Chu Yue didn't know each other, including Chu Yue, there were two boys and two girls. One of the female shinobi also stared at Chu Yue for a while, not knowing if she knew Chu Yue or was just surprised that Chu Yue was young and not the lower ninja of Wuyin Village.

The ninja of the Fog Hidden Village at the gatekeeper's entrance looked at his watch, and then told Chu Yue and the four of them, "It's going to start in ten minutes, you guys get ready." ”

Ten minutes later, the ninja said, "Alright, the exam begins." At the same time, the entrance was opened.

Chu Yue and the four of them immediately entered the Water Mist Forest. Among the four people, a boy and a girl disappeared from Chu Yue's field of vision immediately after entering the entrance, not knowing where they went. And the remaining girl, after seeing Chu Yue come in, didn't move anymore, and simply stayed not far from Chu Yue.

Because Chu Yue was here for the first time, of course he had to observe the terrain clearly. It is indeed a forest, and the trees are tall and dense, making it ideal for hiding and jungle fighting.

Because of the dense forest, you can't see the mist lake in the center of the forest at the entrance, and all that comes into view is green trees and brown dirt.

The female Xia Ren next to her didn't speak until Chu Yue turned to look at her.

"That...... You, it's Chu Yue, right? The female asked Chu Yue.

"Yes." Chu Yue nodded, "Is there something wrong?" ”

This girl, Chu Yue didn't care about her at first, but now after taking a closer look, she found that she looked weak, but there was a ruthlessness hidden in her eyes.

With this kind of disguise, it is definitely no problem to deceive other people, if you want to deceive Chu Yue, it is impossible.

However, with the purpose of ** this girl, Chu Yue decided to see what she was going to do.

"I'm Dongping Mei Niang (thanks to the reader "Hao Baiqing" for providing the name)...... That, I've heard of you. This female woman named Dongping Meiniang said in a somewhat weak voice.

"Dongping?" Chu Yue said, "How do you know about me? ”

"It's the first round of exams...... "A lot of people have said that a contestant in Konoha Village, a boy who looks very young, but his strength is terrifying......"

"It turned out to be the first round,......" Chu Yue said, "You passed, and you're not bad." ”

"I can't compare with you...... Dongping Meiniang said, "That's ...... Chu Yue, you're alone, right? ”

"You've heard about that, too?"

"Hmm......" Dongping Mei Niang nodded, "They all said that you are the only one in Konoha Village to take the middle ninja exam, so it must be a ...... alone."

"'They' know a lot." Chu Yue smiled and said, "Is it your teammate?" ”

"No, it's not!" Dongping Meiniang immediately said, "He...... They're just people I'm asking about. ”

"Oh." Chu Yue answered, and directly wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped again.

"Wait!" Dongping Mei Niang said.

"What the hell is going on?" Chu Yue pretended to be a little angry and said.

"I, I'm also a person, so, so ......" Dongping Meiniang looked like she was in a hurry, but this was also pretending.

"You want to come with me?" Chu Yue asked.

"Uh-huh!" Dongping Meiniang nodded immediately.

"But ......," Chu Yue said, "before leaving, I had already been invited by a team, and besides, they were exactly three people, and with me, there were exactly four people." ”

"Huh?" Dongping Meiniang was stunned for a moment, but immediately said, "Then, then I'm just following you, can you follow you?" ”

"It's not good...... Chu Yue said, "I don't know you." ”

"Can't I just follow you......"

Seeing Dongping Meiniang's expression, Chu Yue was amused in her heart, she did think about it on the surface, and then said, "Okay, before I meet them, you can follow me first." ”

"Is it really possible?!" Dongping Meiniang immediately said happily.

"Really." Chu Yue nodded, "As long as you don't hold me back." ”

"Great!" Dongping Meiniang immediately said happily, but said in her heart, what is the strong man of Konoha Village, he is not being played by me, and this vigilance is too low, even if I ignore you, you will be killed by others sooner or later......

However, I originally thought that Chu Yue would move forward, but I didn't expect Chu Yue to start sealing in place.

"Chu Yue, what are you doing?" Dongping Meiniang asked with some concern. This guy can't already see that I have a problem, right? Direct stamping?

Chu Yue didn't answer, and after the seal was completed, she immediately bit her finger and pressed it on the ground.

A magic circle instantly appeared on the ground, and then a puff of smoke erupted.

This is...... Spiritism?! Dongping Meiniang looked at Chu Yue's ninjutsu in surprise, this boy from Konoha Village actually had his own psychic beast?!

The smoke cleared, and a fox with seven tails looked left and right, and then locked its gaze on Chu Yue.

"Long time no see, Chu Yue." The snow fox said with a smile.

"Long time no see, Akimichi." Chu Yue also replied with a smile.

"It's not like it's going to be a battle." Qiu Dao looked left and right again and said, "It's okay to look like this, that?" Do you want to become a human? ”

"It's rare that you're not in human form." Chu Yue said, "But it's okay to look like this, don't use human form for the time being." ”

"Chu, Chu Yue ......," Dongping Meiniang on the side said, "this...... Yes, your psychic beast? ”
