Chapter 30: The Rainforest

Except for Uchiha Itachi, the other three teams all signed up for the competition according to the formation of the ninja squad.

When the list was first formulated, Ape Fei Ri Slash considered more about the tacit understanding of squad operations and the cooperation between squad members, and put individual combat ability in a secondary position.

One of the most representative is the "Pig Deer Butterfly" trio composed of Nara Luyou, Qiu Daozhang and Yamanaka Airlines, each of whom is not outstanding in individual combat ability, but once it appears in a squad, the combat effectiveness of the three will be increased by geometric multiples.

According to the rules of this Zhongnin exam, it is a question whether the three of them can come together alive.

"At this time, it will definitely be too late to change the list, so I can only contact the rest of the major ninja villages to see if there is any possibility of changing the exam rules."

Ape Fei Ri said with a gloomy face.

。。。。。。。。

Although Konoha had a lot of dissatisfaction with the rules of the middle ninja exam, but at the insistence of the other major ninja villages, in the end, the middle ninja exam was carried out as scheduled in accordance with the established rules.

Land of Rain.

In the inaccessible forest, towering trees are covered with trees.

The tall trunks of the trees point straight to the sky, and the dark green leaves obscure the sky.

The forest was deep and silent, and the slightest sound was like a desecration of the land.

More than 100 shinobi were thrown into this natural gladiatorial arena and fought for life and death for seven days to survive.

In the air overhead, the continuous rain hit the leaves with a dull "click" sound.

Most of the rain was held back by the dense foliage, and only a small part passed through the gaps in the foliage and fell on the clumps of shrubs.

The Uchiha Itachi deftly navigated through the roadless forest, the thorny bushes turning nimbly and brushing against his body the moment it touched his body.

His luck was good, he drew a sequence that was not up or down, and the location where he entered the forest was relatively remote, and it was difficult for the enemy to set a trap and ambush him at the first time.

In the rainforest, it is hot and humid, and even a ninja can use a lot of physical energy to run in such an environment.

Uchiha Itachi looked at the sweat-soaked ninja suit and stopped in front of an old tree.

Like a behemoth, the branches stretching out from the roots of the old tree occupy a large space around it, and there are no other tall plants except a few shrubs, so you don't have to worry about being attacked by enemies in the shadows.

In addition, it is already dark, and the rainforest has an eerie smell, which is really not suitable for further walking.

The red chakra spilled out of Itachi's feet, gently enveloping his feet completely.

Like a juggler, he stepped on the trunk of an old tree with his feet on top of it, and his body was in mid-air, and he walked towards the height as if he were walking on the ground.

Most of the branches in the north of the old tree are dead, while the top of the south side is unusually dense, with intricate branches and leaves intertwined, which is simply a natural tree house.

The Uchiha Itachi hid his body deep in the leaves, and the chakara fluctuations throughout his body were minimized, gradually merging with the tree.

The rainforest is silent, even the insects have come to rest early, and only the raindrops and the sound of the wind play a symphony that only nature can understand.

。。。。。。。。

The sky began to turn white, the forest began to become lively, the early birds fluttered their wings in the forest with the chirping of insects, and the ninjas who had rested for the night began their bloody day.

Yamanaka carefully moved between the gaps between the bushes and the trees, trying not to make a sound as much as possible.

His bloodshot eyes and pale countenance proved that he had just had a very difficult night.

As a ninja of Konoha "Yamanaka Clan", neither ninjutsu, physical arts, nor illusion is his strong point.

The Yamanaka clan is best at spiritual mysticism, which can seize the enemy's body and control it in an instant.

This is a very powerful technique, and the limits of its use are also very high.

First of all, it can only be used in a one-to-one situation, and if it is used in a one-to-many situation, it is tantamount to looking for death.

Secondly, it is best to use it when the opponent is defenseless, so as to avoid the situation that the opponent will be strong and cause the spell to fail and eat itself.

This also determines that he can only exert his best ability when fighting in a team, once he fights alone or is surrounded by enemies, he is almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person.

To be on the safe side, he contacted two of his teammates as soon as he entered the rainforest.

It's a pity that his luck is really bad, and his two teammates, Nara Shikayu and Aki Daozhang, are a long way from his position.

In order to avoid an early encounter with the enemy, he hid in a hidden bush during the day and did not dare to act until darkness engulfed the entire rainforest.

Yamanaka raised his head and observed the sky through the gaps in the treetops.

He was well aware of the urgency of time.

He desperately needs to join up with two of his teammates, and two of his teammates need his ability as well.

Either one of the three is alone in this jungle, facing an enemy who may come out of the shadows at any moment, and it is very dangerous.

Only when the three of them meet, can they be regarded as having the power to protect themselves in this rainforest that kills secrets.

It was only half a day's journey from the meeting place agreed upon by the three of them, and if he continued his journey at the risk of being attacked by the enemy, he could reach it in half a day.

But if he had found a place to hide now and wait until it got dark, he would have to stay alone in the forest for another day.

He gritted his teeth fiercely, and the idea of joining up with his teammates eventually prevailed over the fear of danger.

When passing by an old tree that he didn't know how many hundred years had lived, he sighed with some regret.

In his opinion, this old tree is the ideal place to hide.

He quickened his pace and rushed under the tree, completely unaware that a pair of dark eyes were watching his every move through the leaves.

。。。。。。。。

Itachi Uchiha slept deeply.

No ninja could approach the branch he was on without alarming him, and for that, he was fully confident.

So he slept very peacefully, as if in his own bed.

Until a slight sound of footsteps woke him up.

He sat up, his gaze falling on the ninja not far below.

Above that tired face was a striking Konoha ninja forehead guard.

Uchiha Itachi had just graduated from ninja school, and most of Konoha ninjas were unfamiliar with it.

The strength of the opponent can only be judged by the chakra fluctuations on the opponent's body.

He raised his eyebrows in some surprise.

This Konoha ninja is too weak.

It was so weak that he could hardly believe that Konoha would assign a ninja of this level to come and take the middle ninja exam.
