On the day of the Shinobi exam, at nine o'clock in the morning, the location of the second exam, the death forest of Konoha ......

"Death Forest, the name is quite daring......"

After slapping the wild boar that was rushing towards him, Ai Ye said to Mitarai Red Bean, who was leading the way, "Can something really threaten a ninja at this level?" Just scare and scare ordinary people. ”

"Well, the name Death Forest was originally given by ordinary people......"

Mitarai Red Bean smiled awkwardly and explained to Aino, "But there are not many ninjas who can slap wild boars in Konoha well." ’

"For Naruto, these little creatures are still a little bit of a threat, although not high."

Sakuraku, who was following Ai Ye, spoke, "What time does the second exam start?" ”

'Is it just a bit of a threat?' How confident you are in Kakashi's disciples? ’

After arranging the cherry blossoms in his heart, Hongdou said, "Now the first exam should have just begun, and after it is over, count the time when the group of little cubs came here...... The official start will be around half past eleven. ”

Speaking of this, Hongdou suddenly asked the two curiously: "Then again, do you know the specific content of this Zhongnin exam?" ”

"Yes, Kakashi told us."

After slapping the tiger that was rushing towards him again, Ai Ye said to Hongdou: "But five days to travel through the forest with a radius of ten kilometers, isn't it a little too long?" ”

Ai Ye subconsciously compared the other shinobi to Naruto.

"Too long?"

Hongdou was stupid when he heard this, although this death forest is not a threat to the upper ninja, but for the lower ninja, and even some weaker middle ninjas, the threat is great, and there are not only huge carnivores in this forest, but also all kinds of poisonous insects, this group of lower ninjas have to deal with these things while also having to fight against attacks from other groups, this tense situation you actually said that the time was given too long?

OR ...... Perhaps, after all, I wasn't the one who designed this exam. ”

Of course, she dared to say those words in her heart before, and she had heard Kakashi say the deeds of these two people no less than three times, in case she said it herself, which would make these two people unhappy...... This is the Forest of Death, and if you die for more than a day, you won't have any bones left.

Seeing Hongdou reply to himself like this, Ai Ye pursed his lips, feeling bored and no longer talking.

A moment later, the two of them, led by Red Bean, had traversed most of the Death Forest and finally came to the end of the second exam, the Central Tower.

"This is the destination."

Hongdou, who led the two of them into the central tower, said, "Because after the second exam starts, entry and exit will be prohibited except in an emergency, so as the examiners of the qualifiers, you will spend five days here. ”

"In other words, in the past five days, Sister Sakuraku and I can't do anything but stay in this airtight central tower and fight mosquitoes and flies?"

Ai Ye was a little confused and said to Hongdou, who had an embarrassed expression: "I regret it now, can I not be the examiner?" ”

"This ......"

Hongdou's face suddenly became even more embarrassed.

"Don't be willful, Ai Ye."

Sakuraku patted Ai Ye's head, and then said to Red Bean: "I'm sorry, this kid is like this sometimes, can you take us to see the room, at least the living environment, I still want to confirm." ”

"No problem, no problem."

Seeing that Sakuraki took the initiative to help relieve the siege, Red Bean hurriedly led the two towards the living area of the Central Tower, she just wanted to arrange these two ancestors quickly, and at the same time, in her heart, she scolded Kakashi for arranging this job to herself.

But just as he was about to bring the two of them to the place, the Hokage, who had come here in advance, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and collided with the three of them.

"Ah, Grandpa Hokage! You're here too. ”

Ai Ye, who saw the Hokage, immediately put on a good girl's appearance, and everyone who showed the red bean was stupid.

"Oh, hello, Ai Ye."

Hokage bent down slightly, touched Aino's head with a kind face, and then straightened up and said to the smiling Sakuraku, "You didn't encounter any danger on the way, did you?" ”

When Sakuraluo heard this, he just wanted to speak, but Ai Ye didn't know what bad intentions he had, so he spoke before Sakuraluo and said, "No, Grandpa Hokage, except for the seven wild boars, eight big pythons, nine big tigers, and countless insects I met on the road. ”

When Red Bean heard this, everyone was about to crack, and she hurriedly explained to the Hokage who was looking at her, "That...... Hokage-sama, this is ...... It happens for a reason. ”

'This damned little ghost!! ’

Red Bean's teeth were about to be crushed, but he couldn't refute what Ai Ye said, because it was true, but it had nothing to do with her, the path they took was obviously the safest, but God knows why they encountered so many dangerous beasts today.

It's no wonder that Hongdou can't figure it out, Ai Ye, this little girl, can do everything to trap people, and there is a special talisman in her talisman spell, the effect of which is to give the object the characteristic of 'being particularly vulnerable to beast attacks', and the effect lasts for about ten minutes.

She originally planned to use this talisman to pit Kakashi, but she didn't expect that it was the red bean who led the way today, so how to say it, Kakashi, who was a little afraid of the two, was slightly better at the moment.

Ai Ye saw Hongdou's embarrassed expression, smiled sinisterly, and when he opened his mouth again to say something, he was interrupted by a heavy brain slap from Sakuraku.

"Ah!! It hurts!! ”

"Ai Ye was joking, Hokage-sama."

Ignoring Ai Ye, who was bouncing around the back of his head, Sakuraku smiled and said to the Hokage, "The path that Miss Azuki took us on was very safe, and we didn't encounter any accidents. ”

"Yes...... Yes. ”

The Hokage looked at Ai Ye, who had tears in his eyes, and the corners of his eyes twitched subconsciously, he was now a little skeptical about the authenticity of the espionage theory, and at the same time, he was also very interested in how the two usually communicated.

He waved his hand at the red beans who were standing beside him and looked at the cherry blossoms with a grateful expression and said, "The two of them can be entertained by me, you can go and get busy." ”

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Red Bean said that, he once again showed a grateful expression to Sakuraku, and then a teleportation technique disappeared in place.

"Thank you for your hard work."

After sending the red beans away, the Hokage smiled and said to the two, "As soon as you arrived in Konoha, I arranged such a troublesome task for you. ”

"No trouble......

After Sakuraku forcibly pulled Ai Ye, who was covering the back of his head, to his side, he said with a smile, "The two of us have to thank Hokage-sama for entrusting such an important task to us who just came to Konoha. ”

After speaking, Sakuraku patted Ai Ye with his hand.

"Thank you, Grandpa Hokage."

Ai Ye, who was sniffling, bowed to the Hokage.

"Hahaha......"

After laughing a few times angrily, Hokage looked at Sakuraku and Ai Ye who seemed to have something to say and asked, "It seems that you still have something to say, if it is not an excessive request, I think I can still call the shots, old man." ”

"Since Hokage-sama can see it, Ai Ye and I have nothing to hide."

Sakura Luo pretended to have an expression after the little trick was revealed, and smiled awkwardly and said, "The two of us are actually quite interested in the second exam, and we want to watch it up close, after all, we have to stay in the same place for five days, and it's really a bit uncomfortable." ”

'You also say that I'm a drama spirit, aren't you better at acting than me?' ’

Ai Ye mentally choreographed Sakura, closed his mouth and said nothing, nodding at the Hokage.

"Hmmm......"

Hearing this, the Hokage frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Your request is not excessive, so let's do it, since the two of you have this plan, then I will arrange another task for you." ”

Seeing that the Hokage had no objection, Sakuraku and Aino pretended to be surprised and said, "Please speak." ”

"As much as possible to protect the personal safety of the children who took this exam."

Hokage smiled slightly, "I guess with the strength of the two of you, it shouldn't be a big problem. ”

"Absolutely."

Sakuraku replied with a confident smile: "That's without further ado, the two of us will set off." ”

Seeing Sakuraku so positive, Hokage asked curiously, "Don't you take a break?" How long is it until the second exam starts? ”

"Stepping on points is necessary."

Sakuraku smiled and said, "The two of us are not very familiar with the Forest of Death, and if we don't figure out the structure of the forest in advance, if we get lost, I'm afraid we will cause trouble for Hokage-sama." ”

"yes, Grandpa Hokage."

The good girl Ai Ye helped beside her: "Don't worry, Sister Sakuraku and I will be fine." ”

"Okay then."

The Hokage nodded and instructed the two, "Remember to come back before the qualifiers." ”

"Okay."

"Don't worry, Grandpa Hokage!"

After the two officially accepted the task, they turned around and left the central tower, looking at the backs of the two of them in the distance, Hokage took the pipe out of his coat, and said to Kakashi, who suddenly appeared behind him, "I'll leave you next." ”

"Understood."

Kakashi replied to the Hokage with a serious expression, then looked around with a frown, as if he was looking for someone.

The Hokage, who had lit his pipe, saw Kakashi's actions to find someone, and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"What about the others?"

Kakashi asked at the Hokage a little confused, "It won't be me doing it alone again, will I?" ”

"Probably so."

Hokage said a little helplessly, "I didn't find anyone else. ”

"So what did he do, do you have a clue?"

“…… I don't know, but I guess he's doing his old job again. ”

“……”

Speaking of this, the two sighed at the same time and said......

"It's really easy to change, and it's hard to change your nature."
