Chapter 13: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas

The three of them then went separately to their respective exam entrances and took their seats.

The other ninjas also went to their respective entrances under the supervision of the examiners.

Before leaving, Bo Feng Shuimen was thinking about whether to meet Jiu Sinai again.

Uchiha Fugaku wondered if he should challenge Uchiha Rin after the exam began, but this idea was quickly dispelled by him, and he was not in a hurry, at least this challenge could be saved until after the third exam.

Ai, the ninja of Cloud Ninja Village, stared at this Uchiha Rin closely, thinking about how to defeat this Uchiha genius in the future.

The Konoha ninjas are all thinking about how to pass this exam.

The ninjas from other villages secretly colluded and planned to attack the Konoha ninjas.

That's it

Under the various evil intentions, all the ninjas are in place at their respective entrances.

Jingle bells!

The bell rang and a loud noise alarmed the birds on the branches, and it was a signal to all the ninjas.

The second session of the Zhongnin exam begins!

However, Ishida Jun didn't go in for the first time, he stood at the entrance and heard the sound of frightened birds in the forest, thinking that everyone else should go in, and he began to check a few ninja bags on his body.

The items stored in these ninja bags are exactly the same, and he put the ninja tools, soldier food pills, drugs, smoke bombs... are divided equally into three points.

Tied to the left thigh is the main ninja bag. Just in case, a spare ninja bag is tied to the back waist. And just in case, he also had a few storage scrolls in his clothes.

It's always a good idea to prepare for the shinobi exam, especially when you enter a dangerous place like the Forest of Death.

For this mid-ninja exam, he can be regarded as bringing most of his family background, and a small half of it is given to Rin and Kushina for self-defense.

After checking repeatedly and confirming that everything was complete, Ishida Junya finally entered the Forest of Death at the urging of the examiner.

The figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.

......

Outside the second examination room of the property,

After ordering the second exam to begin, Orochimaru, who was the examiner, left the 44th drill ground and came to the door of a room.

Pushing the door in, the ninja in the room greeted him respectfully, and Orochimaru nodded in response rather indifferently, and then looked at the display in front of him.

The display shows a picture of the inside of the Forest of Death.

This is the monitoring arranged by the Konoha ninja in the Forest of Death, in order to better monitor the ninja in the forest and prevent accidents.

And everyone in this room, including Orochimaru, will supervise things in the exam room through the content on these displays.

Now.

More than seventy ninjas flashed on the video. Orochimaru, who is the chief examiner, clasped his hands to his chest and looked at the candidates above with a bored expression.

"I really don't know Jiraiya, what does that idiot think, is a ninja of this quality also called excellent?"

Orochimaru was quite dissatisfied with Jiraiya's evaluation in his heart.

Although he is also his teammate and one of the three, he is still quite dissatisfied with this stupid guy after knowing him for so long.

In fact, Orochimaru had no intention of being the examiner of this middle ninja exam. But under the repeated requests of three generations of old men, Orochimaru had no choice but to do so. Follow the teacher's wishes to be this examiner.

Although he didn't really want to do it, since he did it, Orochimaru had to come up with a matching difficulty for the exam, so he increased the difficulty on the basis of the original second exam: dismantling the three-person team and arranging different entrances to enter the venue.

That's right, dismantling the squad was Orochimaru's temporary idea.

Because in his opinion, it is more in line with the situation that a squad may face.

The existence of the middle ninja as the leader of a small team will inevitably face the situation of the separation of the team members, and at this time, whether to choose to separate the execution of the target or act together will test the judgment of the middle ninja.

That's why Orochimaru set up this exam.

And he believes that single combat is the easiest way to test the strength of a ninja.

If a ninja is weak in fighting alone, he will only rely solely on the team, which in his opinion is a sign of immaturity.

Even a medical ninja like Tsunade has to learn to dodge enemy attacks when facing them alone.

Although the three generations of Hokage reprimanded Orochimaru for his exams, the three generations of Hokage did not object to this way of increasing the difficulty.

Because the threshold is raised, it is natural to screen out better forbearance.

For Konoha, this is not a bad thing.

However, looking at the various ninjas flashing on the screen, Orochimaru was slightly dissatisfied in his heart.

"The disciple of Jiraiya is a genius. Uchiha Fugaku is still alive, and there is that girl from Uchiha. Everything else is mediocre. ”

Orochimaru's gaze quickly swept over,

When he turned his head to look at the screen on the other side, he noticed a figure on the screen.

In the Forest of Death, where everyone was moving cautiously, this path was moving very smoothly.

"This guy..."

Orochimaru was suddenly a little curious.

At the beginning of the exam, the other ninjas either chose to huddle or head towards the central tower.

But these people will move slowly and cautiously, because the Death Forest is so named because it looks like an ancient forest with many poisonous snakes and beasts.

If you are not careful, even if you are a middle ninja, it will be difficult to survive the sneak attack of these fierce beasts.

But the figure just now was obviously a little different, although it was not very fast, but it moved very smoothly, as if it was not at all worried that a beast with a trap would suddenly appear in front of it.

"Was it reckless, or was it prepared?"

Orochimaru became curious, he had always been looking forward to interesting things.

However, he quickly noticed a sachet on the young man's waist on the screen, and he was puzzled at first, but soon he had a realization in his heart.

"Hehe, it seems that this guy has been prepared for a long time, and it's a little interesting...."

......

Ishida Shunya quickly navigated through the Forest of Death.

One song is put in the sleeve, pinched and bitter, ready to meet the enemy at any time. As soon as the situation is not right, he will copy the enemy and throw kunai, and there is a smoke bomb hanging behind the kunai, which can help Ishida Shunya evacuate quickly.

But fortunately, along the way, Ishida Shunya did not encounter enemies.

All obstacles,

The speed of travel is faster.

And as he explores the forest, the system's exploration value slowly increases.

1%,

2%,

About three hours later, but not even 3% of the time was completed.

"This forest of death is indeed a bit big."

Ishida Shunya estimated that after seven days of the exam, it was good to be able to complete half of it.

The main reason is that his shadow clone can't complete the exploration value, otherwise Ishida Jun would have used the shadow clone a long time ago.

Ishida Jun also shuttled quickly through the woods.

The poisonous snakes and beasts hidden in the shadows around them all poked their heads out when they heard the sound.

These beasts hidden deep in the darkness are very good at sneak attacks and plots.

But when Ishida Jun also passed by, they seemed to smell something, but they quickly retreated back into their lair.

The smell they smell,

It is emanating from Shunya Ishida's sachet.

The sachet contained the secretions of some beasts.

These beasts are all relatively ferocious existences in the ninja world, and Ishida Jun also spent a lot of money to get their secretions and make them into sachets by refining.

In the animal kingdom, animals often pee to show other animals that this is their territory, and Ishida uses a similar method.

The faint scent of the sachet can dispel poisonous snakes and beasts that fear you.

That's why he started preparing for this Zhongnin exam half a year ago.

After all, these things are worth a lot of money.

"Hmm...."

Ishida Jun also stopped and looked up behind him.

He felt something watching him in the distance.

But a closer look revealed nothing.

"Is it surveillance?"

"Probably not, this gaze has murderous intent."

In line with the principle of preferring to believe what he has rather than what he doesn't have, Shunya Ishida's body stopped, and his body and hands quickly sealed.

The chakra began to circulate around the meridians according to the knot, and then began to flow into Ishida Shunya's feet,

moment

His body was like a phantom, quickly disappearing.

Ninjutsu, instantaneous!

In the next moment, Toshiya Ishida's figure appeared in the grass a hundred meters away, and the poisonous snakes around him quickly fled in all directions.

Ishida Shunya quickly observed the terrain around him, and then, with the help of the bushes, he secretly removed the weight from his feet.

Speed up again.

The man behind him couldn't tell if it was aimed at himself or the poison around him. A rash counterattack will inevitably lead to other troubles.

It's better to keep moving forward and wait and see, and this is also a kind reminder to the other party.

Although Ishida Jun also thought so, his hands were already ready, ready to start sealing and counterattacking at any time.

Ishida Jun also came out of the bushes and continued to walk through the black jungle full of poison, but as soon as he came out of the bushes, the feeling of being stared at came back to him.

He frowned, and cried out in his heart for trouble,

He had already given the other party a chance, but the other party was still in hot pursuit, and he intensified his murderous aura.

It seems that the goal is yourself!

Ishida Jun didn't expect that not long after the exam began, there would be ninjas staring at him. However, this strong killing intent made him frown slightly. However, Ishida Jun didn't rush to fight back, but continued to move forward as if he didn't know anything, and secretly began to retrieve whether he still had any useful props at hand.

I was thinking about how to ambush this guy.

Although he is cautious, he is not timid or afraid.

Just as he taught Jiu Sinai that day: "There is no need to retreat, there is no need to retreat, one word, do it!" ”

Such a tense state lasted for a full hour.

It may be a mental torment for others, but Ishida has also deliberately trained himself to resist pressure under the mental pressure of the enemy, so it is nothing at all.

Ishida Shunya is calculating his current position in his mind.... I should be at the edge of the Forest of Death by now, and by this time, most of the ninjas have begun to descend deeper into the forest.

No one in the vicinity will find out about his fight.

This is good!

Maybe the other person thinks the same way as him.

Suddenly,

Killing intent came from the back of his head.

This guy obviously has the means to track from a distance, and Ishida Jun also swept the source of the killing intent, probably behind a large tree about 150 meters behind him.

Ishida Shunya continued to run forward, and the tips of his left fingers gently touched the mechanical insects from his arms, and the insects flapped their wings and took off, disappearing into the dark air...

Scout: Mechanical Flying Bugs

After a while, a blurry picture appeared on the display screen in Ishida Shunya's hand.
