Chapter 64: Life and Death
After everyone at the scene followed Nan Jiayin here, they stopped one after another and looked ahead.
After they walked for a while, it was no longer just a simple mountain, but had come to the back of Yunlei Gorge, which looked like a valley in the past, but not exactly a valley, with mountains stacked around it and covered with clouds and mist, as if it was a closed area.
What shocked everyone the most was that this area didn't seem to be huge, and it was obviously not so easy to survive here for seven days.
The faces of everyone at the scene became much heavier.
"This is where you are going to participate in the second competition of the Zhongnin exam."
Nan Jiayin's voice sounded slowly, and after he said these words, an unfathomable expression appeared on his face, as if everything that happened here was under his control and expected, and even the possible reactions of everyone were within his thinking.
"I have already said the rules, you will survive here for seven days, we will not provide you with food and water, but I can tell you clearly, there is food and water here, but you need to obtain it yourself, here you have to face other competitors who take the Zhongnin exam, you also have to face a harsh environment, as well as very fierce beasts, and traps we have set up in advance."
After everyone said this sentence repeatedly, everyone at the scene suddenly became more silent, and everyone's faces became strange.
Pitfall?
A big question mark popped up in everyone's minds.
Could it be that in this Zhongnin exam, in addition to facing other opponents, there are also traps arranged by Yunyin Village, isn't it too difficult.
Originally, they thought that the Zhongnin exam was a relatively easy thing, but after Nan Jiayin said so much and paved the way so much, they understood that this was an exam that belonged to the strong, and the weak did not have so much right to speak, nor did they have much right to decide, everything could only go with the flow, like duckweed in the wind and rain, which could only follow this flutter.
Now they originally felt that this kind of thing was very unbearable, and a little carelessness could lead to death, which made their spirits very tense, but in such a situation, there was actually a trap designed by Yunyin Village.
All of a sudden.
More question marks have arisen in people's minds.
Judging from the feelings shown by Nan Jiayin......
They weren't sure if they would inform the ninjas of the trap they had set up in advance.
After all, there is no fairness in this Zhongnin exam in the first place.
If the ninjas who participated in the middle ninja exam in Yunyin Village knew the location of the traps in advance and could dodge the traps very effectively, then these traps were an important obstacle for them who came to Yunyin Village to take the middle ninja exam, which was enough to affect their success rate.
Not only that, if the ninjas of Cloud Hidden Village knew in advance, they could also lead them to the trap when they were chasing, which was like the most powerful helper arranged for them in advance.
There are many, many question marks in people's hearts, and there are many incomprehensible places about this, but even so, no one dares to raise any doubts at this time.
Nan Jiayin's domineering image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so they don't dare to deal with such a thing at all, so they have to silently let it go.
"Do you have any questions?"
Nan Jiayin looked around again and looked at everyone's faces, and there was no trace of perfunctory in the moves, what was certain was that he really wanted to see everyone's reactions.
Whether the person's reaction is positive or negative, there is a very strong sense of accomplishment for him, which can put his heart in an extreme state of comfort.
After all, in such a state, he can say whatever he wants, do whatever he wants, regardless of anyone's thoughts, even if others have any opinions, he doesn't dare to put forward them, this feeling brought by strong strength makes him intoxicated.
It's just that......
What Nan Jiayin didn't know was the scene, in fact, there were many people who despised him very much.
After all, Nan Jiayin did not show his strength at his own level to show off his might, but ran to show his power among the crowd of them who were lower ninjas, but it was just a dislocation to show his strength.
Of course, people only dare to complain and complain in their hearts, and they don't dare to really say it, after all, Nan Jiayin's strength is still here, and no one wants to make extraneous branches before the opening of the Zhongnin exam, this is still the place of Yunyin Village, especially the guidance teacher Shangnin who led them here is also gone.
"Is there no problem?"
Nan Jiayin then retracted his gaze, beckoned to the assistant next to him, and motioned for the latter to bring the things over.
At this moment, under the gaze of everyone, several other ninjas from Yunyin Village took out a thick stack of paper.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on those papers.
"You can see that you have no opinions, so you can sign the list."
Nan Jiayin motioned to his assistant to distribute the lists to everyone on the scene, and then did not say anything else.
The meaning of Nan Jiayin's performance is very obvious, that is, let the people on the scene see the content of this list for themselves.
Of course.
The content on the list is also very simple.
It's easy for anyone to see what this means.
Araki also received the list, and when he got it, he immediately looked at it, and there was only a very simple line on it.
[I voluntarily participated in the middle ninja exam held by Yunyin Village, and no matter what accident happened in it, including death, it was a matter of my own strength, and it had nothing to do with Yunyin Village. 】
Finally, there is the place where the signature is requested.
"This is the state of life and death!"
The corners of Araki's mouth curled slightly, revealing a helpless smile, which was something he had only seen in TV dramas before, but thinking that Naruto had signed a similar list when they took the middle ninja exam before, he understood that this might be a tradition of the middle ninja exam.
"It's ......"
One of the children at the scene shrank violently, and his eyes flashed with a strong look of horror, and he knew very well in his heart that once he signed this list, it was normal for him to die here.
"It's something that everyone has to sign, so if you don't want to, please quit the middle ninja exam."
Nan Jiayin's voice sounded slowly, he didn't mean to explain at all, but directly and rudely explained the problem.
"Hiss......"
Everyone at the scene suddenly gasped, everyone knew very well that such a life and death situation was very clear, if it was equivalent to them after signing, no matter how they died here, it would have nothing to do with Yunyin Village, and there would be no situation where the people in the village came to avenge them.
Before they came out, the guidance teachers of the various villages had not said anything about it.
The reason is very simple, if you instruct the teacher to say these words, then many people may not have the courage to take the middle ninja exam at all, after all, promotion is a part, but life is fundamental.
Many ninjas have been brainwashed before coming out, and they can sacrifice their lives for the sake of the village, but that's all, their values are more willing to accept worthy sacrifices than meaningless sacrifices.
If the village is now in a situation of life and death, each of them will not hesitate to go to the battlefield, even if they pay their own lives, they will fight the enemy to the end, but if they die in the exam because of their own strength because of participating in the middle ninja exam, then they will feel that this way of dying has no meaning.
All of a sudden.
Many of the ninjas at the scene fell silent.
They each have their own different thoughts and plans in their hearts, but in this case, they are not particularly clear that participating in the Zhongnin exam will really be in danger of their lives, and they thought that Nan Jiayin was just scaring and scaring them today.
"I repeat, if you want to take the Zhongnin exam, sign the list, if you don't sign it, then you will lose your qualification for the Zhongnin exam."
Nan Jiayin didn't show too much patience, and didn't mean to explain to everyone at all, after he said this, he waved his hand to the assistant next to him, and then turned around and left directly.
After Nan Jiayin left, the people at the scene were relieved, and they didn't know why that person had a very strong sense of oppression in their hearts when they were here, and this sense of oppression would make them feel almost suffocated.
However, this breathing space did not give them too much, and when everything was just getting better, they were interrupted by the words of the few ninjas of Yunyin Village who were left, that is, Nan Jiayin's assistants.
"You have ten minutes to think about it."
"As long as you finish the list within ten minutes and submit it to me, you can enter the competition arena of the Zhongnin exam."
"When the time is up, if you don't submit a list, then you will be eliminated directly."
The ninja voice of this Yunyin Village was not as stern as Nan Jiayin, but it still exuded an unquestionable resoluteness, obviously maintaining the rules of the middle ninja exam that they had already formulated.
As this person's voice sounded, everyone on the scene was in a state of restlessness in their hearts, this is still Nan Jiayin's style, not giving anyone time to think, or not giving room to think at all, because no matter how you think about it, there is only one choice left in the end, and that is to sign this list.
"The ninjas of Cloud Hidden Village are looking this way."
Another assistant of Nan Jiayin clapped his hands, attracting the attention of everyone at the scene again, although his words pointed out that he was a ninja from Yunyin Village, but the other people also followed curiously, wanting to know what kind of thing it was.
"The ninja of Cloud Hidden Village only has three minutes to think."
"Within three minutes, if you don't submit the order, then automatically quit."
"Those who have submitted the order, please stand on my side, and it will be decided by lottery which of you will get a special kunai that can represent the customs clearance."
"Time is limited, I hope you can cherish it and make a decision quickly."
This assistant was more resolute than the previous one's voice, and it could be seen from his words that although Nan Jiayin had almost partial care for the ninjas of Yunyin Village, he was also more strict with them.
It seems that the slightest hesitation about life and death is disrespectful to the middle ninja exam.
Based on such a principle.
Everyone at the scene shrank violently.
There were no complaints about being able to give them ten minutes to think, because they found that Nan Jiayin was even more powerful to their own people, and the ninjas of Yunyin Village also needed to sign these things, so everyone was still on a relatively same level.
……
"Have you two decided?"
The voice of the water gate sounded slowly, and the corner of his eye looked at Araki and Kushina, in fact, he had already made a decision in his heart, but this was a team exam, and it was not a choice that he could make alone, so he had to listen to the thoughts of the remaining two companions.
"Hmm."
Kushina nodded immediately, and then quickly wrote his name on the list.
It's not that she's confident in herself, but she's very confident in Araki, as long as she's with Araki, then she believes that she will never have a problem with her life.
Since there is no danger.
Then whether to sign this list or not is of no meaning to her at all.
At the same time that Kushina wrote his name on the list, Araki also finished writing his name, and the two of them handed the list to Mizumon's hand together.
"Then I'll submit it."
After taking the two lists, Watergate also wrote his name on his list, and now he looks like the captain of the three.
Of course, this was not deliberate on the part of Watergate, but a small meeting was held the night before their departure.
According to Jiraiya-sensei, there must be a captain among the three of them who can be very calm and make correct judgments in times of danger.
The captain will take on more responsibilities, but correspondingly, in critical moments, the team members must also unconditionally obey the captain's orders, so that the whole can go further.
Captains are elected by vote.
At that time, before Mizuto could say anything, Araki was the first to speak, and he voted for Bo Feng Mizumon.
After Araki made her decision, Kushina immediately followed her ticket, and both of them chose Watergate.
By this time, Watergate had received two votes, and he didn't need to make any more decisions at all, and he had become the captain of the place as a matter of course.
Of course.
It is incumbent upon Watergate to become a captain, he has always had very good leadership skills, and he is also very willing to do such things as leadership.
After Mizuto finished writing his name on the list, he took the three slips and walked towards the ninjas in Yunyin Village who were in charge of the middle ninja exam.
If it had been changed a few minutes ago, such an action of the water gate would have attracted the attention of those shinobi around him, but now there is not much time left for everyone, and everyone is urgently thinking and discussing, whether to continue the middle ninja exam, there is no time to care about other existences.
The address was modified for various reasons
