The location of the second test of the Nakashinobi selection examination held by Konoha Village was set up at the 44th training ground of Konoha Village. Due to the man-eating beasts and a large number of poisonous insects and weeds in the exercise ground, it is also nicknamed the "Forest of Death".

The candidates who passed the first exam were already gathered outside the drill hall at this time, listening to the examiner explain the content of the second exam. Candidates will work in teams of three to enter the Forest of Death at three o'clock in the afternoon from a random entrance, where they will compete for the reels. The exam lasts for five days, and teams that can carry two copies of the Heaven and Earth scrolls within five days can advance to the next exam.

In a small makeshift shed next to it, Uchiha Shizun was sitting on a stool at this time, with the Heaven and Earth scrolls used for the exam stacked in front of him, and he was making the final confirmation.

Although Jing also wants to be like Ming, master a convenient time and space ninjutsu. When you're thirsty, you can summon a frosty drink, and when you're tired, you can summon a soft couch.

But she really didn't have the talent for it, especially when she saw the crooked runes on the scrolls, she felt very dizzy. So Jing didn't know what Ming wanted her to confirm, she just counted the number of scrolls mechanically and focused on the outside of the shed.

"What if... What happens if I take a peek in the middle of the process? "It seems that it is time for the examiner to answer questions outside, and the candidate who is asking questions now sounds like Naruto Uzumaki.

"I made all the scrolls this time, so you can try it." Ming didn't answer Naruto's question directly, "By the way, these scrolls are the same as the scrolls sold in ordinary ninja shops, using the most ordinary materials, and the contents are also written in ordinary ink. So be careful to save it so that the scroll doesn't fail..."

Hearing this, Jing couldn't help but chuckle. Ming this guy is still so bad, on the one hand, he does not clearly point out the punishment for peeking at the scrolls, and on the other hand, he tells the candidates that these scrolls are not so special. Presumably, after the exam starts, there will be many candidates who will try to fake it, especially those who took the mid-year shinobi exam in the past year.

If you just do that, you will definitely be eliminated. After all, forging scrolls is a small trick left over from Ming, so how could he not be prepared for it?

——

In the Demon Desert, after the Jing team threw the Medicine Master Pocket to the Sand Night team, they did not continue to take a roundabout route to find the teams holding the Book of Earth; Instead, he rushed straight to the central stronghold of the Demon Desert and cleared all traces of his actions on the desert. This is one of the reasons why Dou was unable to find any trace of the Jing team after getting rid of the Sand Night Squad.

"Hahaha, you're so bad. He said something about a melee raid and seized the Book of the Earth, but he threw that guy to Sand Shinobi after changing hands. With the help of the mask, Jing doesn't have to worry about eating sand, and she won't be able to close her mouth at all along the way, "And Xiao You's posture when you jump back in a row, it looks so stupid." ”

"That pocket is not that simple, we have a calculation this time, so we put him together." At this time, Ming didn't have the same brain-pitted as before, but he was a serious fool, and warned in a serious tone: "His strength should not be much worse than Kakashi-sensei, you all stay away from him in the future." ”

"Wouldn't it? Didn't he fail the Zhongnin exam for three years in a row? Jing was a little hard to believe for a while, before Ming just asked her to pretend to be stupid with Hinata Taka, she thought it was Ming on a whim and wanted to play tricks on the pocket.

"If he has Kakashi-sensei's strength, plus he tried to get close to us before, then he must be collecting information about the candidates in the Chushinobi exam, right?" Starting from the judgment results of Xiao Congming, it is not difficult to come to such a conclusion by extrapolation, "Is he a spy from another village?" Or is it an arrangement in the village? ”

"He is the adopted child of Konoha Yakushi Nonoyu, and this Nonoyu is not simple, he was once the best spy in the Konoha root organization, known as the 'walking witch', and collected a lot of important information for Konoha Village." Ming deliberately turned his head to look at Jing and admonished: "But spies are often multifaceted, and you won't know what kind of strength he belongs to, so be sure to stay away from him, it's not a joke." ”

"Well, I made a note of it." Jing patted her chest, indicating that she had taken it to heart and would no longer talk about it.

With Hyo's white-eyed reconnaissance, the three of them avoided possible enemies along the way and soon reached the central stronghold. The person in charge of checking the candidates' scrolls in the central base was the Shangnin Yin Wind of Sand Hidden Village, and after confirming that there was no problem with the Heaven and Earth scrolls submitted by Jing, he asked a middle ninja to take the three of them to a nearby lounge.

The lounge was furnished with stone benches that looked like it could accommodate forty or fifty people at a time. But at this time, except for Shizu's team, there were only three people in the huge lounge, and it was Yeme, Chiwa, and Temari who had met in the Maruko shop in Sand Hidden Village before.

"Isn't this a ponytail squad?" Ming sat down on the bench in front of them in the night, tilted his head sideways and greeted, "Big smart little sister, how long have you been here?" ”

Yame is not a person who holds grudges, but Ming repeatedly said that she was small, and even a Buddha would be angry. It's just that private fights are strictly forbidden in the lounge, and she can only close her eyes and twist her head to the side, making it clear that she doesn't want to pay attention to Ming. On both sides of the bench, Temari and Qian, each with a small fan, fanned the wind leisurely, as if he hadn't seen Ming at all.

Jing saw that Ming was deflated, not to mention how happy she was, is this kind of thing to be able to do with Ming's wood? What about the ponytail squad, can the four little ponytails be called ponytails just handy? And that Yemu obviously didn't like others to mention her small things, so she had to poke someone's sore spots, so she didn't beat him. But no matter what Ming says, he is also her companion, and she must find this field back.

"We've collected all the Heaven and Earth Scrolls, why don't you let us in?" At this time, there was a commotion outside the lounge, it seemed that there was a dispute between the candidates who had just arrived and the examiner, the examiner's voice was not loud, and the examinee's voice could only be barely heard in the lounge, "The Book of Heaven and the Book of Earth, we have already collected them?" ”

"It seems to be the voice of Koji." Qian heard the sound outside and felt like a companion from the Sand Hidden Village, so he suggested to Yame and Temari beside him, "Why don't we go out and have a look?" Something seems to have gone wrong with them. ”

"This is the boundary of Sand Hidden Village, what can be the problem?" Jing pinned her hands above her head, stretched her waist, and said lightly, "Isn't there any of you who has a particularly good eye?" Don't you understand what's going on? ”

Temari didn't bother to pay attention to Jing's yin and yang weirdness, and walked out of the lounge to the entrance of the central base. Sure enough, it was the team of Koji, Yuno and Shishio, and the three of them looked at the open book of heaven on the ground with a grimace.

"Koji, what's wrong?" As the eldest daughter of Kazekage, Temari can also coordinate with the examiner if necessary, as long as he can take advantage of it, he is not afraid of outsiders saying that Shayin Village is favoritism.

"Damn, we were tricked by the people of Takiyin Village." Koji said with some indignation: "We saw them faint in the desert yesterday evening, and Yuno also saved them with medical ninjutsu, but the Book of Heaven they gave us turned out to be fake. ”

Yu Nai's face is not good-looking, but she has no intention of giving up. Anyway, their team's Book of the Earth is real, and there is still a day left, so they still have a chance.

"Temari, we still have a copy of the Book of Heaven, or..."Qian Xiaosheng reminded them, after they collected the scrolls, they also encountered a team of ninjas from Grass Hidden Village, and after the two sides fought, they grabbed each other's Book of Heaven, so they still have a spare Book of Heaven.

"Your Excellency, I have a question." Jing didn't know when she came out of the lounge, jumped in front of Otokaze, raised her hand and asked, "I remember that I still have the Book of Heaven on my body, if the ninjas of Konoha Village lack the Book of Heaven for a while, can I give it to them?" ”

Saying that, she took out two copies of the Book of Heaven from the ninja bag behind her, and glanced at the Temari people rather playfully, the meaning in her eyes was self-evident, if they could give up the extra scrolls to Koji, she didn't mind giving the scrolls in her hands to the ninjas in Konoha.

"Of course not, I don't care what you do outside." Yin Feng took the Book of Heaven from Jing's hand and said in a deep voice, "But after entering the central base, the excess scrolls must be handed over, and they can no longer be provided to the ninjas in the same village. ”

"That's a pity, in this case, won't there be fewer qualifiers?" Jing spread her hands to the others with regret, "You should also have a spare copy of the Book of Heaven, in this case, there won't be many scrolls left outside." ”

"Yunai, Zhixiong, let's go." Koji felt that Jing's words were a little harsh, but now was obviously not the time to compete with her, "There are still eight copies of the Book of Heaven outside, and we don't have much time left." ”

"There's no such thing as the Book of Eight Heavens now." Jing often plays the role of remote support, and has several ninja bags on her body, so she took out four more scrolls and handed them to Otokaze in the face of the shocked eyes of the sand ninjas.

"Guys from Shayin Village, come on, there should only be three real copies of the Book of Heaven outside." When Jing said "real", she increased her voice emphatically. The sand ninja's gaze made her feel extremely comfortable, and the dimples on both sides of her cheeks had completely sunken.

"Koji, the fake scroll they got was made by you!" Yemu recalled the strange behavior of Jing and the others when they were scouting before, and only then did they react, it turned out that when they returned it, they had already dropped the scroll.

"Little sister, you're really smart, I like smart kids." Jing wanted to reach out and pat Yeme's head, but was avoided by Yeme, "But the next time you peek at your brothers and sisters, you must remember to wear a pair of sunglasses." If it weren't for the fact that you were still so young and very cute, my sister would definitely treat you to a few flashbangs. ”

This time she was called a little sister by Jing, but Yemu didn't care about going crazy. It's not because the image of Jing is better than Ming, but at this time, Yemu is a little lost. Her proud long-range reconnaissance ability has always been expected by the other party, and it is no wonder that she didn't notice that the scroll was dropped at all.

"Yeme, don't think about it." Qian sensed that Yeme's mood was wrong, patted Yeme's shoulder, and comforted: "In the third exam, let them see how powerful we are." ”

"Then we'll keep looking forward to it." After a few words, he turned and walked towards the lounge. Don't look at Jing to Sha Ren's yin and yang weirdness, in fact, she knows very well that Ming is helpless to formulate this tactic.

If there are too many candidates who pass this time, then there will definitely be one or two more qualifiers before the third exam, which also means that the three of them have the risk of encountering in advance, after all, no one knows if the Sand Ninja Village will make some small moves.

By the way, what Jing first received was actually the Book of the Earth. And at that time, Ming used his perception to record all the teams with the Book of Heaven and the entrance they chose. Otherwise, with the white eyes of filial piety alone, it would not be possible to encounter seven groups of teams with the Book of Heaven in a row in more than a day.

As for forging the Book of Heaven, it is not so difficult, Ming Ben is a ninja shop, and some scrolls will trigger traps when opened. Just find a scroll of the same color and style, and add the word "heaven".

Jing returned to the lounge and sat down next to Ming. I was about to talk about the reaction of those people in Shayin Village and share the happiness in it, but I was stopped by Xiao.

Xiao made a silent gesture on the side of his mouth, and then pointed to Ming, who was leaning on the back of the chair, and said silently, "He's asleep."

Jing was stunned for a moment, she really didn't notice that Ming was asleep, after all, he didn't even take off his goggles and gas mask, but he soon understood.

In the past two days, Tianming is different from her, in addition to fighting against seven teams one after another to compete for scrolls, she also has to spend a lot of energy to formulate feasible tactics, so that when you eat, you have to use time and space ninjutsu to summon utensils and ingredients to ensure the nutritional intake of the three of you...

——

Ming must have been exhausted, right? Thinking of this, for some reason a trace of worry suddenly flashed in my heart. Is it because the dou who tried to get close to the first class to get information also took the middle ninja exam this time? She couldn't tell, but a girl's intuition was something that was hard to describe in words.

Maybe she's just worried about Ming, and she doesn't know how Ming's health is now. Since Ming was ten years old, the amount of chakra he could use had become very small. Xiao also confirmed with his white eyes at that time that the amount of chakra flowing in the meridians of Ming in a non-combat state was much weaker than that of Ming before the age of ten, just like a child who had not cultivated much.

Ming, that guy has a big heart, and in the face of her doubts, he just said lightly, "I also think I was stronger before, but it doesn't matter, it will be fine in a few years", and he didn't take this matter to heart at all...

"What are you doing?" Ming walked in with a stack of signed consent forms, "The candidates have all signed the consent forms, have you checked all the scrolls of heaven and earth?" ”

"Well, 13 copies of the Book of Heaven, 13 copies of the Book of Earth, there is no problem with the quantity." Jing came back to her senses, pointed to the box full of scrolls in front of her, and replied affirmatively.

"I specially called you over, did you ask you to count?" Ming seemed to have put on a mask of pain, and his whole beautiful face was about to twist together, "I asked you to use the writing wheel eye to check the chakra attached to the scroll to see if there is a problem." If there is no Zhongnin teacher who is in charge of guidance at that time, do we have to put the blame on the examinees, saying that they broke the scroll? ”

"Huh?! If you don't make it clear, how will I know? Jing hurriedly opened the writing wheel, took the scroll and checked it carefully, "You wait for me, and when the inspection is done, I will kill you." ”
