Chapter 20: The Forest of Death
In a few days, the middle ninja exam jointly held by Konoha and Sand Shinobi will begin. Not to mention that in the past few days, many ninjas from various villages have entered Konoha Village, and there have been many disputes at the personal level. In general, at least on the surface, forces such as Konoha and Sand Ninja are showing a harmonious atmosphere. Sand Ninja and Konoha were allies before, and Sand Ninja was the kind of little brother. There is no way, several ninja world battles, in the end, it was Konoha who won the final victory, whether it was a tragic victory or a complete victory, and they all got a lot of benefits. The strongest Konoha Village in the Land of Fire is not just the result of the geographical location chosen between the Thousand Hand Pillars in the first place.
It's already common for this kind of Great Ninja Village to hold the middle ninja exam for all countries, and the twenty-year-old shinobi in the Hokage world hasn't participated in this kind of middle ninja exam a few times? Basically, I've participated in it.,Although the better way to promote the middle ninja is the test in your own village.。
This is actually similar to a military exercise, especially to show the world the quality and strength of the new generation of ninjas in their village. Every Great Ninja Village needs to consider such a question before sending a ninja to participate in the middle ninja exam, that is, whether to send the most powerful genius out?
For a small village like Yunin, there is nothing to worry about. Whether you want to participate or not, it's all casual, anyway, the village doesn't rely on them to show its strength. Most of the participants in the small ninja village are the kind that have failed repeatedly, and they don't miss every time they take the middle ninja exam, but they are eliminated miserably every time. They hope to get the promotion qualification for the Great Ninja Village Ninja Exam, and then they will be justified in their own village. However, there seems to be no precedent for such a successful example so far.
Yuzo, who had been waiting in the examination room for a long time, was wearing an ordinary ninja uniform, and his face was that of an ordinary person, completely using the transformation technique to transform into another person. After mentioning to the three generations that he was very interested in the middle ninja exam, he was happily sent to the examination room of the middle ninja exam by the three generations, and became a fighter to prepare for emergencies after waiting for the second game to begin.
The candidates arrived one after another, and there were one or two hundred people in the black press. There were all kinds of people in the crowd, and various ninja forehead guards distinguished their identities. Konoha, Sand Ninja, Grass Ninja, Rain Ninja, etc., and most importantly, several Ninja of Otoshinobi, among which the hunchback looks ugly and unappetizing. Fortunately, I don't look so ugly, otherwise how would I chase girls.
It's almost time to see how people should have arrived, and the examiner of the first written test, Mori Nai Biki, stood up. Tall, big, and with scars on his face, his fierce appearance was enough to deter most of the lower ninjas, and the examination room was quiet for a while.
The commotion just now was like an illusion, and it disappeared in an instant.
Yuzo, who was standing around the classroom with many Konoha ninjas who were acting as examiners, watched as Ibiki, who was a full-time torturer, took control of the scene, watching him make these candidates honestly sit in their places one by one and wait for the exam to start.
After the exam rules were announced, the entire classroom fell silent.
Some people are struggling to write, and some people are looking left and right to think about how they should cheat. People who have studied theory very well, such as Sakura, have not paused at all in writing, and it is estimated that they will be a strong general in the examination room of the Celestial Empire, and a strong contender for the national champion. But a theoretical underpinning like Naruto began to scratch his ears and fidget.
Seeing that Naruto looked like he had ADHD, even if he was next to Hinata, who was also a top student, he took the initiative to let him copy it, but he didn't know why he didn't copy it. If I were Hinata, I guess it would be very sad, right? Yuzo stopped paying attention to Naruto and focused his attention on Ino and them.
The position of the exam is completely disrupted, and the teammates in the squad are basically far away from each other. Ino has a good talent for writing in this way, and he can do most of the questions. As for those who can't, then they can only turn around with their hearts. Shikamaru's words, the questions will be, but he still directly used the shadow imitation technique to start copying the questions, why bother thinking about a problem that can be solved by ninjutsu.
Ding Ci's progress is also okay, and he can keep up with the speed of most people's answers, but it is unknown how to cheat after that.
Everyone else is also very powerful, what is more ordinary to reflect with a mirror, secretly transmit a code and the like are weak. Sasuke copied other people's movements with the writing wheel eye, and I Airo copied it at will with trachoma, and the strength of ninjutsu, especially Sasuke's blood inheritance, was highlighted. Even if the combat effectiveness is fierce, it is really comprehensive enough to cheat in the written test.
At this time, it seemed that everyone's progress in answering the question was about the same, and Ibiki began to announce the content of the last question with a majestic face.
This caused an uproar, and if he failed this time, he would be banned from taking the exam in the next few years! If the small village dared to say this, the candidates were naturally not convinced, but the official of Konoha said this, and the candidates began to fall into deep thought. And if a teammate gives up, the other two will also be disqualified, how can this be? This is simply cheating people! What are the guys in Konoha messing around!
But in the end, no one dared to refute Ibhi, and for a while, there was a tense atmosphere in the examination room of one or two hundred people, and from time to time several ninjas chose to give up and leave this written examination room.
I have to say that Ibiki did a very beautiful job, and an ordinary written test made him play a thorough psychological war. If Yuzang went to take the exam by himself and didn't know the plot, he estimated that he would probably choose to give up, and it would be miserable if he was eliminated.
So far, dozens of people have left the examination room, some of them are too low-level to cheat in the front, and some of them can't bear the pressure and give up after the announcement of question 10. Although Konoha arranged for several Konoha ninjas with absolutely correct answers to disguise the candidates, they couldn't be sure that the answers they copied were correct, what if they failed?
It was at this moment that Naruto suddenly jumped to his feet, and for the first time began to show the power of his mouth.
In short, under the declaration of blood, the remaining candidates miraculously did not give up, and it seemed that Naruto had stimulated the hidden blood in their hearts, and they all wanted to persevere.
This situation was unexpected, and he began to take some interest in Naruto Uzumaki.
In the end, he could only reluctantly announce that those who stayed had successfully passed the exam. I don't know how he'll feel when he sees Naruto's white scroll later.
It's over here, and the ninja has already notified the red bean, or is the red bean actually watching from the sidelines?
This female ninja, who later became a fat aunt, was slender and perfect at this time, but her personality was somewhat similar to that of Naruto. I saw a black shadow flash, and she used the kunai to pull up a black curtain with the words "second exam" and the like. And shouted in the posture and tone of the self-conscious wind:
"You guys! Isn't that comfortable? I'm the examiner of your second exam, Mitarai Red Bean! Next, the second actual combat survival test is about to begin! Ready?! ”
The scene became awkward for a while, and many people did not understand what was happening. What is this woman with her fist held high? Suddenly ran out, she seemed to have said something just now?
Although it was cold, Hongdou was only slightly embarrassed and immediately adjusted his state. She turned her head to look at Ibiki and asked in a mocking tone, "How did you become the examiner of the first exam?" There are still dozens of groups of candidates left! It must be a release of water, right? Or are the means insufficient? ”
Ibiki didn't say anything to her, and replied lightly: "It's just a surprise guy who has appeared."
"Haha, no matter what you do, anyway, I'll brush down at least half of the number of people when I reach this level." Red Bean smiled, and then beckoned, and the candidates who finally realized that she was the examiner followed her out.
All the way to the outskirts of the Forest of Death, she paused to announce the rules of the Survival Combat Test.
At this time, Yuzo was in no mood to care about this.
He knew very well that there was a guy named Orochimaru hidden in these candidates, and if he could, he really didn't want to see this snake that likes to vomit again. It's just that people have to be bound by all kinds of things, and it is impossible to be completely free. In order for Ino not to have an accident during the exam, he needs to accompany him in the Forest of Death to protect him.
It would be a big mistake to simply think that Ino had not encountered danger in the original book. It's a real world, not a manga or anime where you can only see a little bit of perspective, anything can happen.
Squads in groups begin to claim the scrolls and are then assigned to their respective entrances. As for when to enter the forest, as long as it is not too late. It is necessary to stagger the time, since it is a survival actual combat test, survival is a more important point, and it is not the situation that the examiners want to see if they go in together and start playing immediately.
Yuzo played with the kunai in his hand, and kept his eyes fixed on the Ino trio who were distributing scrolls not far away. During this period, Shikamaru seemed to notice him, and looked at him a few more times, not knowing if he noticed the difference.
Finally, a new generation of Pig, Deer and Butterfly trio set off into the Forest of Death.
Yuzo also pretended to be just acting randomly, and entered the examination room. He was already familiar with the terrain when he was on a mission before, and he was very fast, and after a while, he followed behind Ino and them. In fact, each of Konoha's four squads was followed by ninjas, and Yuzo won this task. Konoha is not really a fool, the new generation in his family is relatively weak, and his experience is not enough, so he naturally has to send someone to follow, and protect or ask for help when necessary.
It's just that this kind of protection, when you encounter an enemy like Orochimaru, you will be eliminated as soon as possible. It is impossible for Konoha to find a shinobi to perform such a task, and the precious ninja level ninja needs to do something more important and exert greater value.
Yuzo, who has recently developed a little new method, feels that even if he encounters Orochimaru, he will be able to fight a dozen delaying tactics and other support by relying on the air lane.
To be honest, the airway is not very mature at present, and when he can control the speed and direction, he will really learn to fly, and he can have some sense of security in the face of those strong people who can't fly.
The speed of Shikamaru and the others in front slowed down, and it seemed that something had happened.
