Chapter 23: Arrived

On the seventh day after the start of the second exam,

The ninja team had already collected the three scrolls and rushed to the central tower to combine, and Uchiha Rin had already collected all the scrolls on the third day of the exam and arrived at the central tower.

But when she arrived here, Ishida Shunya and Kushina didn't arrive, and then asked Bo Feng Shuimen, who had arrived here earlier, and he also said that he didn't see the two.

At first, Uchiha Rin thought that the two of them were in trouble on the road and should arrive soon, but they did wait for four days in a row, and the two still didn't rush over.

"The exam deadline is almost up, why haven't they come yet?" Seeing that other ninja squads were constantly entering the hall of the central tower, Rin Uchiha was even more anxious, and couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Ishida Shunya's strength is also considered to be at the level of middle ninja in the lower ninja, and if it is exceeded, it is the level of elite lower ninja.

And Jiu Sinai, who is good at shadow clones, but if he can learn a little bit of shadow clone tactics, he is at least at the level of middle ninja.

Although the strength of the two is indeed weaker, according to the plan, as long as they don't cause trouble everywhere, they should have ended up here a few days ago.

"Is something really wrong?"

Looking at the two people who had not arrived at the scene for a long time, Uchiha Rin couldn't help but think of this possibility in his head, something must have happened, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to not arrive until now.

is also as anxious as her, as well as Bo Feng Shuimen.

He arrived here with his companions the next day, and he should have entered the tower to wait for the next battle to begin, but Bo Feng Shui Gate was still here, waiting for Jiu Sinai. But as time passed, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Really, it's only an hour away, why haven't you come yet!"

As the exam time became less and less, Rin Uchiha's mood became more and more agitated.

She really doesn't want to fail in her journey to the middle ninja exam, after all, since she was a child, she has never failed in anything, she has not experienced failure, and she does not want to experience failure. Because that must have tasted bad.

But

What Rin Uchiha is most worried about now is whether the two of them really had an accident during this exam, whether they were attacked by the enemy and were injured and delayed the exam...

There are various possibilities in his head, but Rin Uchiha, who is known as "Konoha is the strongest shinobi" around him, is like an ant on a hot pot at the moment, and he can only be in a hurry here, but he can't think of any solution to the problem. This strong sense of powerlessness is the reason why she is really irritable.

She didn't want to lose the game,

But even more undesirable,

One of his few friends had an accident.

Rin Uchiha clasped her hands around and leaned against the doorframe, Silver Fang biting her lower lip and her head raised to look out at the woods ahead, trying to find the slightest shadow of someone inside, her fingers tapping uncomfortably on her arm.

I was very anxious.

Just when Uchiha Rin was in a hurry, a sarcastic voice came from the hall:

"Rin Uchiha, why haven't your two teammates come here yet? You can't pass this exam, right? ”

Everyone in the hall at the scene instantly became noisy, and everyone saw that Uchiha Rin was wrapped around her body and didn't mess with my aura, but someone dared to provoke her in front of her at this time, which was indeed extremely arrogant.

The ninjas at the scene raised their heads one after another, and looked in the direction of the voice, and the person who spoke was actually Ai from Cloud Ninja Village.

At this moment, Ai was wearing a blue and white vest from Cloud Ninja Village, covering up the two wounds on his body that were slashed by Uchiha Rin, but to outsiders, he was still as imposing as usual.

Frowning slightly, Uchiha Rin looked at Ai who appeared in the center of the hall, suppressed the impulse in his heart, and said in a cold voice with extreme restraint, "Isn't there still an hour?" I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about? ”

"I didn't expect you to be quite calm."

Ai Leng snorted, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he raised his voice and sneered: "But when I came, I happened to hear that a red-haired girl and her teammates were besieged by many ninjas. I don't know what happened next, but well, I think those two people should be quite pitiful, obviously they have been waiting for a long time, but I didn't expect my strongest teammate to never come. ”

"I don't know what those two guys will look like before they die."

All the ninjas at the scene set their eyes on Ai's body, and no one thought that this cloud ninja would dare to provoke in person, and Rin Uchiha, who was known as Konoha's first shinobi.

The atmosphere at the scene was also getting higher and higher in Ai's provocation, and everyone was looking forward to how Rin Uchiha would answer Yun Shinobi's provocation at the moment.

Of course

At this moment, many Konoha ninjas have leaned over,

Bo Feng Shuimen frowned slightly.

Uchiha Fugaku didn't have any expression on his face, but his hand was on the knife behind him.

His face became more and more gloomy, and after hearing Ai's words just now, Uchiha Rin's eyes suddenly widened, and then he realized that the reason why the two of them couldn't rush over as planned was because...

"It's you..."

His voice was calm and deep, but full of anger, and Rin Uchiha pressed the hilt of his sword with one hand and asked in a deep voice, "They didn't make it here - you did it!" ”

"I said yes, so what?" The corners of Ai's mouth rose slightly, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.

"I'll kill you now!"

Anger surged, and Rin Uchiha instantly pulled out a long black knife from his back, and was about to rush forward to kill Ai.

But a figure suddenly appeared in front of her and stopped her.

"Fuyue, you dare to stop me!" After concentrating on seeing that the figure that stopped him was Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha frowned and asked, his cold face did not hide his anger, as if to say, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I will even cut you together!

"Calm down, Rin!"

Uchiha Fugaku stopped Uchiha Rin's hand drawing his knife and said in a deep voice: "That guy is deliberately provoking you, he has already passed the exam, but you haven't yet." If you attack him here, you will be disqualified from the exam for violating the exam record. ”

"Not to mention, you're the captain, you have to trust your teammates to get here. If you really want to do it, at least wait until after the middle ninja exam is over! ”

Uchiha Fugaku stopped in front of Uchiha Rin and said righteously.

Ai frowned slightly, and continued to provoke in his mouth: "Could it be that the so-called Uchiha only wanted to be a shrunken turtle on the first day?" ”

Rin Uchiha was silent,

She closed her eyes and tried to take a deep breath, trying to control the anger that was surging inside.

Ai originally wanted to continue to provoke something, but when he noticed the Konoha ninja who was gradually surrounding him, he still closed his mouth and kept quiet.

After a long time,

Only then did Rin Uchiha open his eyes, then let go of the hand that pressed the knife, looked up at Uchiha Fugaku in front of him, and thanked: "You're right, I'm the captain, I must not be impulsive!" ”

Then she snorted coldly, put the knife into the scabbard, stared at Ai with fierce eyes and said, "If something really happens to them, whether you are the son of Lei Ying or not, I will cut you, wait for me!" ”

After saying this, without waiting for Ai's reply, Rin Uchiha turned around and walked towards the gate.

There was silence at the scene,

It wasn't until Rin Uchiha left that there was a little commotion at the scene, but no one dared to speak loudly. The killing intent of Uchiha Rin just now made everyone at the scene feel a chill down their spines.

In the face of this murderous aura,

It was as if he really had a knife on his neck.

Everyone can't help but believe,

She is the one who can say it and do it.

Ai also snorted coldly, not wanting to deal with this kind of guy who has lost his chance.

What he needs,

Only waiting,

Waiting for the moment when Rin Uchiha loses his chance.

In order to target Rin Uchiha, he sent three teams of cloud ninja to snipe at two of her teammates.

Needless to say, Uzumaki Kushina is the goal of his mission in this Shinobi exam. And Ishida Shunya, an unknown subordinate, can just let his subordinates do it directly, after all, this exam is allowed to kill, even if it is discovered afterwards, no one will suspect the head of the cloud ninja village.

In the end, it is necessary to stop and consider such behavior to be reasonable within the rules.

But

Ai didn't think that Uzumaki Kushina and Ishida Jun would also be able to get here,

Nine men pursued two,

Just by looking at the number of people, it's an obvious math problem.

And

His order to pursue Uchiha Rin's teammates was not for the purpose of pure revenge,

In this, there are also his considerations,

In addition to capturing Uzumaki Kushina, Ai's other goal is to make a name for himself in the middle ninja exam. In his previous fight with Rin Uchiha, Ai clearly felt that this was a threat.

though

Sneaking up on a teammate so that they can't take the next exam is shameless.

But he's a ninja.

The purpose of the ninja is to complete the mission,

Dignity is a hindrance for ninjas in many cases.

Ai doesn't need these,

What he needs,

It's just a matter of completing your task on this exam.

.....

Time passed minute by minute,

There were also a lot of shinobi teams coming in the follow-up, but Uchiha Rin just didn't see Ishida Shunya and Kushina.

Her mood became more and more noisy,

But as Fuyue said before,

She had to wait.

Wait until there are only a few minutes left!

Uchiha Fugaku's face was as usual, but his fingers were restless,

Bo Feng Shuimen frowned,

A smile appeared on Ai's face, it seemed that those two people had been dealt with by his people.

But at this moment,

Rin Uchiha looked at the woods in front of him, and his eyes lit up.

A man and a woman stepped into the center of the Gundam, the woman had long red hair that was not in line with the crowd, while the man looked very tattered, looking very ordinary, even if the woman was his companion, he had to keep a distance of at least three meters, which was very stable.

These two are none other than Shunya Ishida and Kushina Uzumaki.

The anxious Uchiha Rin saw the two of them enter the tower, and the heart that had been hanging in his heart finally fell. I wanted to go up and say a few words to the two of them and ask if they were injured, but after thinking about it, this would damage her high-profile image in everyone's minds, so she stepped forward slowly, and said with a cold tone and a little dissatisfaction:

"Stupid Toshiya, why did you two come here so late!"

Glancing at Ai who looked shocked in the distance, Ishida Jun also touched his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile on his face to Rin Uchiha:

"I'm sorry for being delayed by some people's boring things."
