Chapter Seventy-Two: Bait
"Well, this wild boar is so big, it looks like it should be enough for the three of us."
Sakura tilted her head and looked at the wild boar in front of her that was killed by a punch, this wild boar was huge, almost two or three times larger than ordinary pigs, and it should be more than enough to fill the stomachs of the three of them, Sakura clapped her hands after looking at it, and said with satisfaction.
There are a lot of beasts in the Dead Forest, and there are many large beasts, such as tigers, wild boars, bears, etc., which are some of the most ferocious animals.
Konoha's upper ninja Mitarai Red Bean was attacked by several tigers in the Forest of Death yesterday, and if it weren't for Konoha's dark ninja even if she arrived, I'm afraid she would have died in the tiger's mouth.
If you really die in the hands of a few tigers, I'm afraid you will laugh to death if you say it.
But that can only be regarded as a special case, Mitarai Red Bean had just fought with Orochimaru at that time, and then the curse mark on her body flares up again, so she lost all her combat effectiveness in a short period of time, so she will be so embarrassed in the face of a tiger, and it can't be taken as a routine.
In fact, the reason why there are so many beasts in the Forest of Death is mainly used as food for the ninjas who took the second exam, and these beasts were also specially captured and put in by the Konoha ninja.
"Okay, the food has been found, we can go back."
Sakura stepped forward, tied the boar with a rope, and then grabbed one end of the rope with one hand, dragging the boar to the ground.
It is said that this rope was prepared by her in advance, and the reason why she prepared the rope was mainly because of the huge body of the prey, and it was not convenient to bring it back at that time.
Speaking of which, Sakura is actually quite curious about how Sasuke, who originally came out to look for food, brought back such a big bear, it can't really be that he really went back with his hands up, right?
Sakura imagined in her mind the image of Sasuke holding the bear with both hands, and it felt like a dog.
Shaking her head, Sakura shook the strange image out of her mind, grabbed the rope and prepared to go back the way she came.
Just then, a voice came from the side, attracting her attention.
"Please, don't leave me, please."
It was a girl's voice, sounding like she was a teenager.
"A person like you who has no combat effectiveness is just a drag on us at all, and you are not qualified to continue to follow us."
As soon as the girl finished speaking, she heard a male voice sound, and the voice was full of disgust.
Sakura frowned when she heard this, with her personality, she wasn't going to meddle in things, but after listening to it, she suddenly felt like she had a sense of déjà vu.
"It's strange, this conversation seems to feel a little familiar." Sakura thought about it for a while, but decided to see what was going on.
She lowered her rope and walked towards where the sound came from.
Then she saw two men and one woman standing under a tree, talking something, Sakura didn't rush over, but dodged on a big tree next to them and looked at them, and in the case of her deliberately hiding, it was impossible for the three ninjas to discover her existence.
"But aren't we companions?" After listening to the other party's ruthless words, the girl said aggrievedly.
"Hahaha, it's funny, a waste like you doesn't deserve to be our companion at all, right, Kuidou." The male ninja said.
"Ibuki is right, you're so weak, you'll only drag the two of us back, and there's no reason for us to continue to take you anymore." Another male ninja named Kaito said.
Just when the girl was desperate, Ibuki suddenly said, "However, if you want to continue to follow us, it's not impossible. ”
"Really?" The girl's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly spoke.
Ibuki nodded and spoke, "However, each of us in the group must have their own usefulness, and if you want to follow us, you must be useful." ”
"No problem, I'll definitely fight hard." The girl said busily.
Ibuki shook his head, "No, no, no, the battle only depends on me and Kuito, and you have to do something else." ”
"What's the matter?" The girl asked.
"Hee-hee." Ibuki smiled cruelly.
"Your job is to be a decoy."
"Bait?" The girl asked, puzzled.
"That's right, I'll give you the Book of the Earth for safekeeping, and you must hold it in your hands so that everyone else can see that you're holding the scroll."
Kuidou on the other side answered: "Then, Ibuki and I will secretly hide by your side, and when the others find out about you, they will definitely snatch your scroll, and after the other party grabs the scroll from you, they will definitely relax their vigilance, and then we will come out and attack him." ”
"What do you think of this strategy? Ha ha. ”
"But, wouldn't it be dangerous for me to do so?" After listening to this, the girl said incredulously.
"Hmph." Ibuki snorted coldly, "I'll tell you the truth, the reason why the teacher brought you here for this middle ninja exam is to be our bait, so as to reduce the loss of the two of us." ”
The girl said angrily, "I won't agree to do this." ”
"Hmph, you seem to have made a mistake, do you think we're asking for your opinion? No, we're just informing you. ”
After Ibuki finished speaking, he took out the scroll from his arms, threw it on the ground with a wave of his hand, and then looked at the girl coldly.
"I'll give you two choices, either you pick up the scroll now and do as we say, so that although it is dangerous, you may still be able to live."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind getting rid of your shit right now."
"It turns out that this is how Xiang Phosphorus was abandoned by his teammates." Sakura, who was on the tree, had already seen the whole process.
She had already recognized that this girl was Xiang Pho.
Her face was much more immature than in Shippuden, she wore a light yellow dress, she wore a Kusa Ninja Mura's forehead guard on her forehead, and her hairstyle was different from later.
It can be said that Kaofu's current appearance is very different from that of Shippuden, but Sakura still recognizes her by her glasses and the Uzumaki clan's iconic red hair.
"Is it being used as bait by your own teammates? I see, so that's why she holds the Book of Earth. Sakura thought to herself.
When Sakura first watched the Hokage, Kao recalled that the second pillar had saved her, and Sakura was a little puzzled at the time, if Kao was abandoned by her companions, then why did her companions let her hold the key scrolls.
And why did Xiang Phosphorus put the scroll in her hand, so that others could see the scroll in her hand at a glance, with her combat power, doing so was simply looking for death.
"Now it seems that he was used as bait by his teammates, and the reason why Sasuke was not fooled in the first place was because he also had a book of earth in his own hand, so the book of earth in Xiang Phosphorus's hand was not attractive to him, so Sasuke was not interested in making a move on Xiang Phosphorus."
On the other side, Kaori was forced to helplessly, although reluctantly, but finally picked up the scroll and did as Ibuki said.
"Why am I so unlucky, these two nasty guys, woo, please, is there anyone to save me?" Xiang Phosphorus thought miserably in her heart as she picked up the scroll.
