Chapter Twenty-Five: Alone

The first day of the Shinobi exam, in the afternoon.

The three figures swished through the forest, and since the branches on the upper part of the trees were much thicker than those in the normal forest, they stepped on them easily. Suddenly, the person in front made a gesture, and then the three of them landed on a large tree.

Chiyo looked at the tree they had landed on, looked at its main trunk, and felt satisfied.

"We'll spend this evening."

"Are you going to hollow it out?"

Chiyo nodded: "I'll leave this matter to me, and the two of you will be responsible for patrolling the neighborhood together to make sure no one snoops." After five minutes, assemble here. ”

After the figure dispersed, Chiyo's hands gradually gathered chakra, and then the form changed, and the taper-cut version was completed. It's the same principle, except that the taper shape changes to a circular serration.

His hand was getting closer to the tree, and the chakra saw was slowly sinking into the trunk, and if you looked closely, you could see that the incision was unusually smooth.

In less than a minute, a complete square piece of bark was peeled off the tree by Chiyo, which was the most delicate step in the whole process, and the next steps did not need to be so meticulous and careful.

……

A few minutes later, inside the dug tree hole.

The three of Chiyo sat together, with a piece of paper on the ground between them.

"Take a look at this reference map and tell me how you plan to complete the mission."

"How? Chiyo you make a plan, and then we'll go together. The moth replied confidently, and nodded after looking at Dai again, obviously agreeing with the moth's words.

"Because I have something that I have to do after becoming a middle ninja, I will definitely pass this exam." If this sentence were said by an ordinary shinobi, it would seem that he was very arrogant, but Chiyo said so, and both Moth and Dai felt that there was no problem.

I just don't understand why Chiyo is saying this at this time?

"The format of this exam is a team assessment, which means that we will pass the assessment together. And how many people will be brushed down in this assessment, you should be clear, right? ”

Flower Moth and Dai nodded, they had also listened to the examiner's explanation before: half of the candidates took the Book of Heaven, the other half took the Book of Earth, and everyone's Book was buried in the assessment area. In this way, in the best case, half of the candidates will also be brushed off.

"Not more than half of the people who passed the exam this time, and as far as I know, the passing rate of the mid-shinobi exam in previous years is this number. Therefore, this may be the final assessment, and even if there is an exam in the future, it will not be too difficult. ”

Chiyo concluded: "That is, if I pass the assessment, you will pass too." ”

"Isn't that nice?" The moth tilted its head, looking incomprehensible.

Speaking of which, the moth is becoming more and more dependent on Chiyo in terms of tasks, or rather lazier. When she was still shinobi, it wasn't a big deal, and shinobi should be like this. But now that she's about to be promoted to a middle ninja, it's very inappropriate.

Dai was thoughtful: "Chiyo, what do you mean, what are we still close to the middle ninja?" Without these, even if we become a middle ninja, we are not qualified, but it will harm us? ”

"Oh!" Chiyo was a little surprised, these words were actually said by Dai: "Dai, your ideological consciousness is very high." ”

"Hmmm! Since the last time I was educated by Chiyoyou, it has taken me a long time to think about how to become a good ninja. Dai scratched his face, a little embarrassed: "Although I still haven't figured it out, I only know a rough idea." ”

Well, after thinking about it, I haven't been able to understand what qualities the shinobi need, which is also interesting. Chiyo suspected that the books Dai had read misled him, after all, they were written by "famous" ninjas who came from nowhere, and Chiyo couldn't think of anything else in them except chicken soup for the soul and some words that he didn't know.

"Nakashinobi needs to have the ability to take charge of themselves." I didn't expect the two of them to understand, so Chiyo said bluntly: "That is to say, at some important moments, you must be able to understand the situation and make your own choices." ”

"In the past, the tasks were all simple things, and there was no talk of the situation, choices, and so on. But in this exam, your opponent has become a ninja. In order not to let the position of Zhongnin harm you in the future, I will use this exam to train you. Does anyone have questions? ”

Chiyo's gaze swept over the two of them, and no one spoke, and Dai and Moth understood that they were talking about business, so they both behaved cautiously.

"So look at this picture, what are you going to do?"

As he spoke, Chiyo bent down and walked to the entrance of the cave: "It's not early, I'm going to go to the forest to catch prey while it's still dawn, and you guys also come out and think about it in a farther place." Remember not to do anything else, this is all you are responsible for today. ”

……

At the junction of the sixth, seventh, sixteenth, and seventeenth forests, there is a very tall tower, and there is a large open field around the tower.

If you look closely, you will find a number of thin lines gathered at the apex of the tower, with many sources of threads, scattered radially over the surrounding forest. Eventually, they were connected to the extremely high metal pillars at the borders of the four forests.

The signal travels through these thin wires to the tower, and through the tower's signal converter, it is emitted to a specific part of the barrier above Konoha and then transmitted in a directional direction to a certain room in the Hokage Building.

As the door was pushed open, Ape Fei walked into the monitoring room, although he had a lot of things to deal with, he still wanted to come over here to take a look, so he came.

This is his first exam after the reform, although the main body has not changed much, but the details in it have been changed a lot, such as the written test, and then the ninja in front of him and the picture on the screen.

"Hopefully it will work." Ape Fei thought to himself.

Seeing that it was the Hokage coming in, an older shinobi sitting in front of the screen stood up: "Hokage-sama, why are you here?" ”

Waving his hand, Sarufei motioned for the others not to take care of him, and then looked at the Shangnin: "You still call me Sarufei, I have been taught by you before." ”

Although he said it, Ape Fei knew that it was impossible. The people on the other side are notoriously stubborn, and the older generation attaches great importance to these names, titles, and the like.

Sure enough, an argument ensued. Ape Fei felt that his head was a little clear, and he took the initiative to change the topic: "How is it, there are no problems with those candidates, right?" ”

"Nope. Now the second exam has just started and everything is normal. ”

Ape Fei nodded, for this exam, he sent out a lot of his dark department, if there is a problem, it should be able to be found and solved in time.
