Chapter 31: The Examination of the Middle Ninja
"What, the middle ninja exam?" Aoika looked at Mike Kay in surprise, she hadn't thought about it in her mind, because the middle ninja exam was hard to imagine for her now, she had just become a lower ninja for less than a year, and now she went to take the middle ninja exam, can you do it!
The calmer ones are Kenkage and Nagata, the two of them have reached the level of the middle ninja in terms of combat effectiveness, but they are a little lacking in experience and command ability.
Thinking of the scene of the Zhongnin exam in the original book, Jian Ying asked, "Teacher, where is the exam location?" ”
"The exam is in the Land of the Winds. This time it will be held by Shayin Village, the decision is up to you, if you agree, we will set off in half a month. That's all I have to say, the rest...... Do you want to go to cultivation with us? Hahaha, come and get acquainted with everyone-Xiao Li. Mike Kay finished the task assigned by the village in a serious manner, and then returned to his original appearance.
With a loud shout, Xiao Li, who was standing there, jumped behind Mike Kay and raised his thumb to show off the whiteness of his teeth to others. "Seniors, come and practice with us. This time, our goal is to run 100 laps around Konoha . ”
Aoi Xiang turned her head: "......"
Nagata blinked, touched his belly and said, "I'm going to eat barbecue." Is the teacher alright? I'll leave if it's okay, Sword Shadow, what about you? ”
“…… I participated in this practice. ”
"Ahh Mike Kay suddenly appeared in front of Sword Shadow, and the heavy punch made intimate contact with his cheek, and shouted excitedly at Sword Shadow who fell to the ground: "I knew you were good, come on." Xiao Li, Sword Shadow, rush! ”
Aoika and Nagata didn't look at Mike Kay, who was in the lead, and they didn't look at Xiao Li, who was excited and couldn't follow the teacher by himself, and their eyes were fixed on the sword shadow lying there motionless with his face on the ground.
"Sword Shadow... You okay. Sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Aoika turned her head to look at Nagata.
Scratching the back of his head, the corners of Nagata's mouth twitched, and said, "It should be fine...... Sword Shadow, what's wrong with you? ”
A trail of blood flowed from under the sword shadow's buried face, quickly soaking the soil.
Then, the two of them saw the sword shadow's shaky shoulders, but it didn't seem to be a big problem, he stood up, blood hanging from the corners of his mouth, and his cheeks bulging like steamed buns after being beaten by Mike Kay.
"It's okay (it's okay)... Yongxian (Nagata), fennel (sunflower incense), even the first fine (I went first), add oh! (Come on)"
Looking at the back of the sword shadow leaving, Nagata twitched the corner of his mouth: "I feel more and more that there is something wrong with him." Hey......"
Neither he nor Aoi Xiang were worried about Kenkage's injury, and with his medical ninjutsu skills, it was easy to treat this kind of thing, but it only took a few minutes.
The truth is just as they thought, in the process of catching up, Kenkage used medical ninjutsu to treat himself. Counting the bonus of the blood essence stone, the recovery is very fast, "Teacher, I am going to surpass you." ”
The art of multiple shadow clones!
More than a dozen sword shadows appeared in a row, and then only two remained, and the others ran in other directions to carry out their own cultivation.
He is the only one who can use the shadow clone to this extent, and there will be one in the future, but it is used in battle, and it cannot be compared with the sword shadow in cultivation. The clone returns with a lot of memories and experiences, and the superposition of exhaustion will make people die of exhaustion, even Naruto, who has only used shadow clone to assist in cultivation twice.
It consumes not only physical strength, but also lifespan. But Sword Shadow didn't care much about this, the only thing he cared about was the dark injury that couldn't even recover from the equipment that came with it. often striking stakes with fists, causing bone knots to become larger; Long-term muscle fatigue and necrosis, inability to exercise to this part, etc., may affect the judgment of the recovery state of the equipment.
Compared with **, the sword shadow of the spirit or soul doesn't care too much, with the support of the secret technique of the Luo Fall clan, the influence of using the shadow clone cultivation has been reduced to a very low level.
The Shadow Clone Technique and the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique have similar names, but the effect is different, the former is an equal distribution of chakras in the body, and the total amount of chakras in the latter is much more than the chakras owned by the body, which ensures that people who use multiple shadow clones can separate far more shadow clones than the number of shadow clones created by ordinary shadow clones.
But this is not without side effects, the extra chakra is forcibly combined with the user's own ** energy and spiritual energy, and when using this ninjutsu, it will cause damage to the body.
It's not in vain to follow Kai over today, at the end of the hundred laps of running, Xiao Li fell to the ground without strength, looking at the sword shadow who was still standing there, Mike Kai began to teach him physical skills.
In this way, the Eight Gates Dunjia and Biao Lianhua were handed over to the Sword Shadow together, and the content inside was only approximate, just if you read the text, it was impossible for the Sword Shadow to find a clue, and it must be guided by Mike Kay step by step.
Table Lianhua's requirements are a bit high for the current Sword Shadow, and its performance condition is to open a "door", and Sword Shadow, a person who has not even experienced opening the door, is still an unattainable goal.
As for the stronger Li Lianhua, at least three doors need to be opened to cast conditions, and there is no need to consider.
In Li Lianhua's state, the sword shadow can step on the air and enter the air, which is much more guaranteed than his unreliable "flying" method.
Mike Kay has repeatedly emphasized that cultivating the Eight Gates Dunjia requires squeezing one's own limits and tempering **, and only when the foundation of the body is firmly laid can the eight doors of the body be gradually opened.
After Xiao Li woke up and recovered, Jian Ying, with a smile on his face, excitedly took Mike Kay and Xiao Li to the bathhouse, and then, he chose a restaurant and enjoyed the meal happily.
After separating from Mike Kai, Liu Shengfang Jianying turned to Teacher Luo Yuanming, bought a gift and came to the door, and told him in detail about the tasks and cultivation he had encountered recently.
Luo Shenming didn't express his opinion on other matters, but only answered questions about secret arts and illusions.
Jian Ying knew that the reason why Teacher Luo Shenming was like this was because he hadn't made too serious mistakes in other things, otherwise he wouldn't have been so calm.
Among the relatives he knew, Uncle Kuishan's status belonged to the middle level, some other uncommon uncles were in the middle and low levels, and Uncle Achina was in the middle and high levels.
The highest status is Teacher Luo Yuanming and Mike Kay, if you don't count the three generations of Hokage.
In the courtyard of the house, there are already clones busy there, reading and writing, studying ninjutsu, checking literature, sorting out materials, practicing physical arts, practicing sword techniques, etc., with the help of the blood essence stone, the number of clones that can be separated by the sword shadow has begun to increase greatly. Just in case, every hour he will let the clone return to his body, and after half an hour of recovery, he will separate the clone, which is equivalent to relieving the pressure of the shadow clone when returning to the body.
Half a month later, the fourth class will go to Shayin Village to take the middle ninja exam, and Jian Ying has only seen one middle ninja exam in the original book.
In that exam, because Mori Nai Biki was the main examiner, the first exam tended to question people's hearts.
"I don't know how it will be arranged, I hope it can be simpler, but don't die so many candidates like the second exam in the original book." Thinking of Shayin Village, the figure of the gourd baby appeared in his mind, and the sword shadow muttered, "I don't know how far I love Luo." Now that the four generations of Kazekage who can suppress Ichio are still alive, it shouldn't be possible for Lizhu to run into the exam room to make trouble, plus Teacher Kai is here, as long as he doesn't die, the chance of dying won't be very great. ”
In half a month, Kenkage and Nagata gathered a group of boys, Li Rock, Naruto, Dingji, Shikamaru and the only girl in the fourth class, Mitsuki Aoika, and everyone got together for a beautiful meal.
Aoi Xiang has already used the money she earned from her first mission to open a department store, which is run by her parents, and the business is said to be good.
Nagata was much more miserable, he really planned to open a barbecue restaurant, but his father refused, and then confiscated the salary of the eighth floor. So the angry Nagata ate the barbecue for three whole days, and then the sword shadow magically discovered that Nagata didn't love barbecue as much as before.
However, this period lasted for a short time, and within a week, Nagata returned to his meat-eating nature.
Among several people, the most interesting are Li Luo and Naruto, the two are a grade apart, and they are both crane tails, but when the two of them talk about the future, their eyes are always full of enthusiasm and excitement, and they are not bound by the title of "crane tail" in the slightest.
"That's a good mentality." Shikamaru sighed, battered by the attitude of the two of them who ignored reality.
The sword shadow put his arm on his shoulder, then moved away and sent a bunch of meat to him: "So, Shikamaru, you should be on par with them, every time I see you, listless, how many times have you said it, young man, be cheerful." Look at Ding Ci, he has a lot of energy. ”
Ding Ci has the most mental head, and the speed of eating meat is much faster than that of Nagata.
Shikamaru looked at his partner and bowed his head weakly: "... All right. I'll learn. ”
Looking at his appearance, he knew that he was coping, and Jian Ying shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, no matter how many times you say it, it's still like this." Whatever you like. ”
As the first of the twelve small powerhouses to be promoted to the existence of Shikamaru, Kenkage admires Shikamaru very much.
For example, when a group of people who are eating come to the battlefield now, Kenkage will definitely put Shikamaru in the position of a staff officer or even a commander, not because he doesn't believe in his own strength, but because he really can't guarantee that his strength can protect everyone's safety.
One force to ten will sound domineering and awe-inspiring, but how many things in the world can be done with one force to ten meetings, at least the current sword shadow does not feel that he is qualified to say this.
"Naruto, you should learn from Xiao Li, how serious he is, now he runs ten laps around Konoha every day, what about you? When it's time to cultivate, you don't cultivate well, you just want to play and play pranks, and when you cultivate, you will fool around again, so that you can improve your strength. ”
"Without the sword shadow senior, now I only run a hundred laps once a week, although the range around Konoha has become larger, but with Kai-sensei, I have infinite power......"
Seeing that he was excited again, and the posture of standing on the dinner table, Jian Ying hurriedly pressed Xiao Li back to the stool, and then turned his head to stare at Lu Maru: "Lu Maru, tell me how you cultivate, let this guy who doesn't know how to work hard have a good understanding." ”
Shikamaru: "...... No, I just sleep and walk around, and when I'm tired, I lie down and look at the clouds in the sky. ”
"......" Sword Shadow turned his head indifferently, stared at Naruto, who didn't know what was going on, and directly gave him a brain adze, "Did you hear that?" Shikamaru is better than you can learn even if you sleep. ”
The others were a little speechless, and then they just watched the farce between Naruto and Kenkage.
Half a month passed quickly, and the fourth class went to Sand Hidden Village under the leadership of Mike Kay to participate in this middle ninja exam.
The previous mission passed through the Land of Wind, but this time they went deep into the area where the wind and sand were filled, and in order to cope with the yellow sand, the four people put on cloaks and covered their mouths and noses.
There is soft sand underfoot, and it is not easy to focus on it, so after entering the Land of Wind, the speed of the group decreases sharply.
"The land area of the Land of the Wind is the largest among the major countries, more than 80% of which is desert, and there are not many suitable places to live, because our ancestors have lived in the desert for a long time and have a unique way of survival." While on his way, Kenkage took the time to tell them about the situation in the Land of the Wind, including the attack methods of the ninjas in the Sand Hidden Village.
When the name of Konoha White Fang appeared from the mouth of the sword shadow, Mike Kay's face became as serious as before. He had seen Kakashi's father when he was a child, and unlike now, Mike Kay, who had no talent, was rejected by the ninja school several times, so at that time, Konoha White Fang made the same impression on him as Kakashi.
Now seeing Kakashi's father's name coming out of his disciple's mouth, listening to Konoha White Fang's great exploits in the battle against the Land of Wind, he seemed to see the figure of the thin man who terrified Shinobi.
Where there are leaves flying, the fire burns.
Mike Kay pointed ahead and said to the disciples beside him, "There is an oasis ahead, let's go over quickly." Where to go, you can notify the people of Shayin Village. ”
"Hmm." Nagata pressed his head lower and began to pick up speed.
The next day, Mike Kay used a smoke screen to notify the ninjas of the Sand Hidden Village, and they led the four of them into the Sand Hidden Village.
The three of them who had just arrived at Sand Ninja Village didn't have time to visit the Ninja Village in another country, because the exam started soon, and they were only given a night's rest for Sword Shadow.
There were a lot of people who came to take the exam this time, and there were four groups in Konoha including the fourth class, but only Kenkage and they were led by a teacher. Rain Ninja, Grass Ninja, and Taki Ninja are all relatively famous ninja villages, and others such as Lin Ninja and Shang Ninja are ninja villages belonging to countries built by some small countries or even just a few cities, and their strength is low, and they can be exterminated only by the power of Konoha "roots".
The Red Sand Scorpion's national extermination record is provided by these small countries in the form of city-states, and the real big country, not to mention the five major powers, it is impossible for the tea country that deviates from the mainland to be wiped out by a mere ninja.
Nearly a hundred people gathered in a clearing at the corner of Sand Hidden Village, and a ninja standing on the high platform in front of him shouted directly without waiting for the ninja below: "I am in charge of this exam, you don't need to know my name, because more than half of them will be eliminated in this exam......"
The previous words didn't pay attention to the audience, but his later words caused some of the ninjas present who were still muttering quietly to stop talking and focus on the ninja.
This man's words did not pause at all, it seemed that the vast majority of the ninjas present would be eliminated as he said, and there was no need for him to introduce himself to the doomed ones. "There is a map at the entrance of the village, with a red dot on it, you need to get to this place in the shortest possible time and accept the task there."
“……”
The crowd did not speak, and neither did the ninja on the high platform speak.
Suddenly, the sword shadow reacted, patted Nagata and Aoika on the shoulder, and ran directly away from the crowd towards the village gate of Sand Ninja Village without saying anything to them.
Although they didn't know why Sword Shadow left the queue without permission, the two of them believed in Sword Shadow and immediately followed him and chased after his back.
Immediately after that, another group of people left the queue, and it was only at this time that no one woke up, "Oops, let's start now", in fact, this man regretted it after shouting, but unfortunately the others understood under his reminder, and rushed towards the village gate - the beginning was early.
Running at the front was Kenkage, who was the first to come to the place where the map was, and when he saw the map in the mouth of the sand ninja, his brows furrowed very tightly, and it turned into the word "Chuan".
It is a five-meter-long and five-meter-wide iron plate that records the location of the village and the destination it needs to be reached - a red star is printed on it, and it is a hexagonal mark with two elongated upper and lower ends.
