The unexpected events at sea attracted the sand ninja guarding near the lighthouse, and after a large number of elites left, only one or two kittens remained here.

The two sand ninjas that Jian Ying saw belonged to kittens, and they were wearing the uniforms of Sand Hidden Village, which showed that the two were not just graduated from the lower ninja. However, when facing them, Yanagi Sword Shadow didn't feel the pressure on them, that is, there was no aura of oppression.

There are only two possibilities for this to happen, the first is that the other party's strength is far superior to him, and the sword shadow is like an ignorant child in front of them. But it can't be, just from the dogmatic vigilance that the two of them showed after seeing the strange ninja.

Therefore, the two sand ninjas can only be lower ninjas, and the most important thing is that they can't threaten themselves, at least they fight hard, and they can never be his opponents.

The other party is not threatening, and the sword shadow is reluctant to do much, and taunting their master in the land of the Land of the Wind is the rhythm of death.

The lighthouse was several stories high, maybe it was a temporary requisitioned test site, and the two sand shinobi didn't take him upstairs, and after handing the scroll to each other, one of them pointed to the wooden box placed in the corner and said, "Go there and get a ball." ”

The other walked over to the desk placed against the wall on the other side, sat down and picked up the pen, and copied the numbers on the scroll handed by the sword shadow.

The wooden box was very boxy, with only one entrance that could accommodate two or three fists, and the room on the first floor of the lighthouse lacked light for the sword shadow to explore what was inside.

Yanagi Kenkage reached inside, there were many items underneath, and he almost reached into it when his fingertips touched a round object.

Sensing the obstacle, Sword Shadow flicked away the top orb with his fingers, and then nodded at the ball below, and the object squeezed the space around it and sank a few points.

No longer hesitating, it was all up to luck to come up with anything anyway, he grabbed a round ball and took it out.

The sand ninja who was guiding the sword shadow just now saw him take out the ball and asked him, "What is it?" ”

Sword Shadow faced him with the white ball in his hand with a number, and said in his mouth, "Two." ”

"......" Shinobu nodded his chin affirmatively, and looked at his companion sitting behind the table.

"Number two—here, come here. It's your task. The man pulled out a piece of paper engraved with incantations and pasted it into the unfolded scroll of Sword Shadow, closed it and pasted the conspicuous "two" number on the outside, then handed it to the approaching Sword Shadow. "To complete the test, you have to get a singular scroll."

"Isn't that forcing me to provoke a fight?" Jian Ying, who had been prepared, did not show surprise, but secretly said in his heart, "Sure enough, that's the case", in order to ensure the correctness of his analysis, he asked, "No matter what method you use?" ”

"There are no constraints, but... At the very least, you can't fight around the lighthouse, otherwise, you will be disqualified from the exam. Shinobu who was standing there explained to him.

"Understood."

The sword shadow turned around, more than ten meters away from the lighthouse, transported the chakra to the soles of his feet, and disappeared behind the abrupt reef in a few jumps.

Sha Shinobi, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and said in surprise: "This person is very strong." ”

"How?" The other ninja was still sitting behind the table and didn't plan to get up, "Since it's a ninja sent by Konoha, there will always be one or two extraordinary." I said, you still care about your seniors. It's not like I didn't see what was going on, and if it weren't for the fact that there was no one guarding here, I'd like to go over and see how I can subdue that monster. ”

"Why don't you stay here, I'll take a look!"

The man looked at his smiling companion speechlessly, and simply replied, "Dreaming." ”

The moment he received the task, Jian Ying knew what greeted him, "I thought I would have to wait until the second exam to show up, but it was so fast." Presumably, the gate of Sand Ninja Village is already full of people. To get the top half of the places, in addition to the overall number of passes, you must also ensure your ranking. This kind of middle ninja exam is really unusual. ”

Except for those ninjas with special abilities who can advance through internal channels, many civilians are squeezed into the lower ninja level. Most of them can't be said to be without hard work, but as civilians, they have their own troubles, trivial lives, incomplete ninjutsu materials, and mission experience below the B level, all of which are the threshold that limits the improvement of their strength.

Not long after leaving the shore, the black reef was replaced by mud and sand, and there was still little greenery, and clusters of shrubs stingy fell on the seaside land.

The shadow could hear the sound of the waves splitting apart, bigger than the crash of the waves hitting the reef, and if I guessed correctly, it must have been the sound of a giant shark rushing out of the sea.

"Not only did this guy not escape, but he rushed to the shore!" He stopped, hesitating, the emotions brought by the unknown infected his nerves, and the sword shadow, who understood what fear was, was difficult to suppress his curiosity because of the difference in his own life.

The standing sword shadow hesitated for a long time, and finally stopped looking back and ran in the direction of Sand Hidden Village.

……

In a place ten kilometers outside the village of Shayin Village, yellow sand is everywhere, sand veins are vertical and horizontal, three corpses fell on the sand of 400 square meters, the blood flowing through the wound has long dried up, the body that has lost its life has lost the ability to regulate its body temperature, and not long after the sun rises, the air in the belly pouch will swell the belly. As time passed, the bigger and bigger belly was like a balloon punctured by a needle, "Peng", red, white, and gray mixed with a foul smell splashed around.

Three kilometers away from the corpse, there was a space under the sand that could not be seen at all, and Dochka and his two companions, Yamami and Syl, leaned against the plank.

"With Ciel's puppet, we can stay underground. Hmm, those guys who returned definitely didn't expect someone to sneak up on them on the road. ”

The place where the three of them stayed was a hole opened by a puppet, and Ciel was a puppeteer, although he was gifted, he was not a genius in the eyes of the higher-ups, so he put the direction of development on dense hidden weapons: fill a large number of hidden weapons through huge puppets, and use hidden weapons to rain down enemies when encountering them.

It is unimaginable to dig space in the desert underground, but Ciel unfolded the puppet's big belly, and a few brackets were used as pillars to support the space where the three of them lurked.

Less than three meters from the surface, the temperature only dropped slightly, but the sand ninja team was able to endure it.

Shinobu named Sil is a woman with nearly half of her face covered in red paint, "Don't be careless. Those who can take the test are not simple people. Especially Konoha, if their candidates perform too poorly, how can they explain to other countries. Those bastards are going to maintain the title of the strongest ninja village in the five countries. ”

The Chunin Examination is a platform for each country to show its strength to other countries without war.

Konoha, the strongest of the five ninja villages, naturally has to maintain enough deterrence. It is not only the high-end power that surpasses the other ninja villages, but also the strength of the new generation. Although this time the middle ninja exam was not Konoha home, they still arranged several groups of weighty groups to participate.

Class 4 took the lead from the early stages of the exam and managed to attract the hatred of almost all the groups, which was not expected by the lead teacher, Mike Kay.

As soon as he heard Ciel's threatening target, Dochka thought of Sword Shadow. He clapped his fists hatefully, bowed his head and said, "When you meet those boys, you must make them die ugly." ”

The first place in the home battle was taken away by others, and people played it, Dochka had no idea of a serious game, and waited for the rabbit, covered up halfway, and grabbed it skillfully, no matter what the means, he always had to vent his anger.

Shan Mi was worried that the anxious Dochkazhen would lose his cool when he met the sword shadow, so he lowered his voice and admonished word by word: "Don't worry when you meet them, if you can keep priority in nearly a hundred groups, there must be something extraordinary." Even if you can really deal with them, you have to be careful of the people in the other groups - the other day on the road, I didn't come across a few groups of guys that should not be underestimated. ”

Hearing his words, Dochka took a deep breath, and when she looked up, she lost her restlessness just now, "I understand. Don't worry, I'm really with them, I won't be stupid to make a bird. I really wanted to kill that little ghost, but I couldn't let anyone else pick it up. ”

"There are quite a few people in the neighborhood who have the same idea as us, and once they find a target, they have to act quickly."

"I'll be in charge of guarding the surroundings, but if we run into stubble, we don't have that much time to waste." With a cold temperament, she doesn't have the anger of Dochka, even if she is also tricked, it is just dissatisfaction, compared to the task, personal grudges can be put aside.

"On such a hot day, there is ten percent combat power, and it would be good to have eight layers in a few days." Dochka spoke disdainfully, how could he not know the temper of the desert, those headless flies whirling around in the sand, and the final result could only be exhaustion and even death, and withdraw from the exam.

Over time, more and more test takers are discovering this phenomenon in the desert. So, everyone focused their defense on the sand ninja in this competition, and the candidates with local advantages could save more physical strength than others, and if these people joined forces in the end, wouldn't the people from other villages be removed.

In the Gobi in the southern part of the Land of Winds, the sword shadow is pulling kunai from the corpse, looking at the remaining blood, and wiping it off the corpse's clothes.

He glanced at the few scars on the corpse that were different from those of the kunai, and muttered in a low voice, "This can be regarded as the beginning of the melee!" ”

This man also has a scroll on his body, and it has scars that are different from those he had received in previous battles. He must have experienced a battle before meeting with Sword Shadow, and that battle consumed a lot of his physical strength, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to resist so weakly when he met Sword Shadow.

It took so long to run inside to meet a candidate, although it was related to the fact that this exam placed the examination room in the entire Wind Country, but from the traces of the battle on this candidate's body, it can be shown that the battle has begun.

Compared to those players who killed candidates aimlessly, Jian Ying was worried about the time he would have returned to the village and the total number of candidates who had completed the task. According to the examiner's response, only 50 per cent of the number of candidates completed the examination assignment. If 50 teams complete the task and successfully reach Shayin Village, only the top 25 teams will be admitted, and if only 10 teams complete the task, only the top 5 teams will be admitted.

"You have to speed up, otherwise, Nagata and they will be in danger." The faster you get to the village, the more likely you are to be attacked, and although the fastest to get closer to the village is more likely to complete the task and pass the exam and achieve a high ranking, there are dangers and opportunities, and nothing can be obtained without paying.

After making a decision, the sword shadow sped up again, and the effect of the blood essence stone was indeed great, but now it still couldn't meet the consumption of the sword shadow. There is still a long, long way to go to reach the legendary ninja, the ability to be almost immortal like the Thousand Hands Pillar.

Traveling across the country of the wind, Kenkage heads to the meeting place agreed with Aoika Nagata.

Along the way, he met no less than six groups of candidates on a mission, and Jian Ying had no idea of contacting them, he and the other party had a common enemy - not going to carry out the mission, ambushing the group that participated in the plundering on the way.

After another two days, with Kenkage's frantic pursuit of speed, he finally arrived at his destination, which was the place where he and Nagata agreed to gather. What made him happy and worried was that Aoika and Nagata didn't come.

This was the edge of the oasis, where they passed with the caravan on their first mission.

Although it was only a place to replenish fresh water at that time because of a hurry, it was chosen as the location to reunite after separation because of the familiarity of several people with this place, because it was not only the closest hiding spot to Sand Hidden Village, but also because it had large enough vegetation and trees.

It is impossible for people who have just arrived in the Land of Wind to be familiar with the terrain here, but the local Sand Shinobi did not consider setting up an ambush here because it was some distance from Sand Hidden Village, which gave Sword Shadow enough time to rest.

He waited for a day, and a day later, Nagata and Aoika arrived here one after another.

Unlike the southernmost destination of the Sword Shadow's mission, the two of them are inland, the former tests the speed of the ninja, and the latter tests the ability to complete the mission.

Unlike the quest where Kenkage needs to get other scrolls, Nagata and Aoika have already completed the task, and as long as they return to the Sand Hidden Village with the scroll, they will be considered successful, of course, because it is a collective mission, Kenkage must complete his share at the same time.

"I ran into two squads on my way here......"

Nagata was interrupted by Aoi Xiang as soon as he spoke, "They didn't besiege you?" ”

Nagata didn't mind and continued, "I don't think I've fought like this. On the contrary, they put forward the intention of association. Sword Shadow, what do you think? ”

"Aligned with us?" Kwai Xiang's eyes widened on the side, among the three, she ran the shortest and safest, plus I was careful to avoid contact with other people, and the road here was safe.

Knowing the intentions of the person who made the suggestion, the sword shadow looked up at the towering treetops and said, "It is possible to unite, but it cannot be trusted. Your mission is done, but mine is not. He held up his scroll so that the two of them could see the number "two" marked on the scroll, "My task is to get the singular scroll, but ...... I am the only one of the three of us who has this label, which shows that not all candidates who do the task can receive the task. Even if there are only a few people who receive this task, on the one hand, we must break through the interception of the ambushers; I also have to think about the disturbance of people who know the secrets of this scroll, since it is a union, there must be a minimum of trust, if they know that my mission is to obtain a scroll, whether or not anyone meets my goals, it will cause the fragile relationship of the alliance to disintegrate. ”

"But the enemies we're facing are the same, and the guys who don't plan to follow the plot honestly are everyone's enemies. As time goes on, the halfway robbers will unite after eliminating the weaker group, and then it will not be a past that a single group can handle. ”

Nagata knew what to do, and said, "If there are people in the team that unites with us who have received the same mission as you, and it happens to be exactly what you need from each other, unless we can find new and sufficient targets, we must be ready to guard against their sneak attacks - it is better not to join forces." It's still dangerous, but since you can't trust it, you have to be on guard at all times... When you play against an external enemy, you can play more when you are separated, you say yes or not. ”

"So we can't let them see the scrolls. Otherwise, in addition to the original enemy, the people around you who are allied with you may also sneak attack. Aoika combined what Kenkage and Nagata said, thoughtfully.
