Chapter 16: The curtain opens

Kakashi and the others came out of the Hokage's office, and Mitarai Azuki was about to leave, when Nara's voice came from behind him, "Azuki Bean Examiner, wait a minute." ”

"Why, something." Hongdou became unusually serious because of Orochimaru's matter, and even spoke competently, and the smile on his face disappeared, looking a little cold.

Nara Lujiu didn't care about Hongdou's tone, and asked seriously: "Yesterday you mentioned that there was a mysterious person who reminded you about Orochimaru, so today you found the body of the Kusano Village, did you hear that person's voice again." ”

Mitarai Red Bean frowned: "The body was found by the invigilator under my command, and I don't know exactly how it was found." What's more, now we don't care about the mysterious person, at least from the current situation, the mysterious person has not deceived us. ”

"Okay then, but the red bean examiner should be careful, after all, your mission is dangerous." Lu Jiu admonished.

"Thank you, goodbye." Red Bean turned and left. Nara Shikahisa in the rear was still frowning and thinking, of course he knew that the important thing was to deal with Orochimaru's matter now, but he couldn't figure out why this mysterious person helped them, he was a little uneasy.

Kakashi Hachiki patted Nara Shikahisa on the shoulder and said, "Let's talk about this later, I'll get busy with the important things first." Nara Shikaku nodded and left the Hokage's office with Kakashi.

In the Hokage's office, the three generations of Hokage looked at the photos of the previous Hokage in the office, sighed deeply, took off the Hokage hat from his head, and walked to the wardrobe by the office wall, where there was the armor he wore when he was young.

On the other side, Qin Xiao had already joined up with Toth and Sack and was rushing to the Forest of Death. Toth didn't seem to be affected by last night, and he didn't tell Qin Xiao what happened last night, his expression was as usual.

Sax was as energetic as ever, as if he couldn't wait to do it.

Qin Xiao also looked as usual, and it seemed that the other two didn't notice his outing this morning, and at this time he still had to play the role of an ordinary candidate.

When Qin Xiao and the others arrived at the Forest of Death, many people had already arrived at the venue, and at the examination venue, Qin Xiao saw the Royal Wash Red Bean. Mitarai red beans also looked as usual, and ate meatballs as always.

I'll go, what's going on today, why are so many people looking like they are as usual, and they all have something on their minds. Qin Xiao had to sigh, it turned out that acting skills were also one of the compulsory courses for ninjas.

However, no matter how much you look as usual, it will inevitably show some differences. Mitarai Azuki didn't notice that she laughed less often, and always subconsciously looked at the ninjas.

Orochimaru was in a good mood, because last night after he disguised himself as a ninja from the Grass Ninja Village, he found a girl from the Uzumaki clan with a rather special talent, and he planned to "invite" this girl to his secret base after destroying Konoha as a guest.

At this time, Orochimaru was mixed in the examination team, looking at Uchiha Sasuke and his party from time to time, sticking out his tongue and licking his lips, his eyes glowing with a strange light, which was the eyes of a hunter looking at his prey.

Mitarai Red Bean glanced at the crowd again, focusing on the people in Grass Ninja Village, but Orochimaru's elimination technique is a forbidden technique after all, coupled with Orochimaru's deliberate cover-up at this time, even if Red Bean has a curse mark, he didn't realize who Orochimaru was.

About half an hour later, all the candidates who took the Zhongnin exam had arrived. Mitarai Red Bean announced the exam rules for the second exam, which is not much different from the original book, and it is still a battle for the Heaven and Earth Scroll, with a time of 120 hours. Each team of ninjas must collect the Heaven and Earth Scrolls within the time frame and rush to the tower in the middle of the Death Forest.

What Qin Xiao and the three of them received was the scroll of the earth, that is, the three of them had to grab a scroll of the sky, and then rush to the tower in the middle of the forest of death to pass the middle ninja exam.

It's a looting battle, and all but the people in your own group are enemies, so it's impossible for all the ninjas to go in together. The Forest of Death, also known as Exercise Ground 44, is a circle of forty-four locked gates with a diameter of ten kilometers.

Each group will go to a different gate to avoid an early encounter. Qin Xiao looked at the number plate he received, 7, it was the No. 7 gate. The three of them came to the No. 7 gate, and as soon as the exam began, Qin Xiao and the three of them began to move forward at full speed, and after running a distance at full speed, "You remember, we have only one goal. Toth said back.

Qin Xiao and Zak turned around and responded, "Yes." After that, several people rushed in the direction of Sasuke Uchiha and his party.

Although Qin Xiao seemed to be cooperating with Toth, his heart had already gone elsewhere, and he didn't know if Konoha had taken action.

At this time, Mitarai Red Bean had already entered the Death Forest after the ninjas of the Grass Ninja Village entered the Death Forest. As soon as he entered the Forest of Death, Mitarai Red Bean let go of the suppression of the curse mark on his neck and began to use this spell mark to sense the location of Orochimaru.

At the same time that Mitarai Red Bean let go of the suppression of the curse mark, Orochimaru also felt the fluctuation of the curse mark, and he was inexplicably a little uneasy in his heart, although he expected that Konoha would be able to find the body he had left in place, but Konoha seemed to react faster than he expected.

However, he didn't care in his heart, because he felt that in this decaying Konoha Village, except for the three generations, there were no opponents for him to value. Even if it was three generations, Orochimaru felt that his current self had surpassed him.

I'll be playing with you later, little red bean, Orochimaru licked his tongue, a little excited, because he had already sensed the location of Sasuke Uchiha and his party. Eventually, the snake's greed and arrogance triumphed over the snake's intuition.

Mitarai Azuki relied on the curse mark to vaguely sense that Orochimaru was rapidly advancing in the northwest direction, and took out a set of radio equipment in his hand.

After Kakashi received the news from Mitarai Azuki, he looked at Naruto Uzumaki and his party under the tree, and briefly determined the direction. From the general direction where the ninjas of the grass ninja village came in, they headed to the northwest, and it was here that they finally arrived. The location of Orochimaru can almost be determined.

It's time to inform Shikaku, Kakashi said secretly, pulling out the radio he had at hand.

Nara Shikaku, who received Kakashi's news, quickly transferred and hid in Orochimaru's way to reach Uchiha Sasuke and the others, and a minute later, Shikaku's eyes shrank, and Orochimaru came.

Orochimaru was moving forward at a rapid pace, when suddenly a person appeared in front of him, a person who shouldn't have been here in his plan, "Why, why are you here, Sarutobi-sensei." ”

At this time, it was the third generation of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash who appeared here, "Orochimaru, I don't want to see you here, but you're done here." The three generations of Hokage were dressed in military uniforms at this time, and they changed their benevolent image in front of others, and they looked a little solemn.

"Hahaha, Mr. Sarufei, although I don't know how Konoha learned about me, but, do you think you can stop me?" Orochimaru hid his face and smiled. Suddenly, Orochimaru's body stiffened, and he found that he couldn't move.

"Shadow mimicry, success." Nara's Shikamaru's voice came from behind him.
