Chapter 12: Temporary Retreat
In the face of the big snake pill that was much faster, Hongdou had to use kunai in front of him to make the last resistance.
"Block!" A crisp sound came from the blade of Kusanagi's sword.
Orochimaru's snake pupils shook violently, and at some point, an unfamiliar right hand broke into his sight and flicked at the Kusanagi sword with lightning speed.
Orochimaru felt the tremendous power coming from the sword body, and hurriedly tried his best not to let the weapon go.
In the next moment, it was Orochimaru's turn to be kicked from the side by a huge force, and he was kicked out without even being able to react with a sword, breaking several giant trees.
"Who are you?!"
Hongdou looked at the big snake pill that made him feel like a great enemy, and was easily beaten away by this uninvited guest.
"We met outside the exam room not long ago."
The Uchiha Mirror landed lightly in front of Azuki and said to her.
"You're one of those two people on Kakashi's side!"
Red Bean barely remembered these two not-so-inconspicuous people.
"Observation is not bad."
The Uchiha Kagami gave a small compliment.
"You used the Chakra Concealment Technique!"
Azuki shouted as he pointed at the Uchiha mirror with hindsight.
"Ah, sorry, this is to avoid being disturbed by the busybody."
The Uchiha Kagami explained lightly.
"Sasuke, if you don't want to disappoint me, stand up yourself!"
The Uchiha Mirror said sternly to Sasuke who was lying on the ground.
Sasuke listened, slapped Naruto's outstretched hand away, gritted his teeth and got up trembling.
"I didn't disappoint you, did I?"
Sasuke gasped and asked word for word.
"It's not bad."
The Uchiha Kagami commented nonchaltly.
Sasuke's expression was relieved, and he suddenly fainted.
"Sasuke!"
Naruto hurriedly stepped forward to support Sasuke, and he could still feel the paralysis from the undissipated electricity on Sasuke's body.
Seeing that Sasuke was fine, the Uchiha Kagami looked back at Orochimaru, who had been reorganized.
"What? You're not leaving? If you don't leave, I'm going to leave you here forever!" “
The three-hooked jade that was revealed by the Uchiha mirror stared at Orochimaru as if he had seen prey.
"I didn't expect that there were other Uchiha in Konoha."
Orochimaru was no longer as calm as before, and the instinctive feedback of the cold-blooded animal made his face begin to ooze dense beads of sweat.
The invisible momentum on the Uchiha Mirror's body easily suppressed Orochimaru.
"So you still want to test whether my Uchiha is real or fake?"
The Uchiha Kagami looked at the Orochimaru who was waiting for him with great interest, and said with a smile:
"Looks like you're confident in your ability to escape!"
As soon as the Uchiha Mirror's words fell, while Orochimaru was unprepared, the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye was opened, and Orochimaru was easily pulled into the illusion.
After just a few seconds, Orochimaru's body turned into a pile of dirt.
The Uchiha Kagami removed the chakra eye and showed a look of surprise.
"It seems that Orochimaru will not appear again for the time being."
Uchiha Kagami judged.
"Naruto, Sasuke will be handed over to you, and in terms of your character, you will definitely choose to continue with the exam, right?"
The Uchiha Mirror said to Naruto, who was holding Sasuke.
"Then don't you need to say it, Uncle Mirror!"
Naruto said firmly.
"Then I'll go outside and wait for your good news."
The Uchiha Mirror no longer hesitated, and disappeared in front of several people in the blink of an eye.
Azuki froze for a few seconds, glanced at Naruto and the others, and chose to leave.
"Whew~ It's so dangerous!"
Naruto carefully leaned Sasuke against the tree, sat on the ground and panted tiredly, looking at the side of Iara.
Airo stared at Naruto for a long time, then limped away on his own, not saying a word.
Naruto looked at the departing Iara, not knowing what he was thinking.
After that, Naruto found Sakura behind Sasuke's back, and Sakura saw the two who were injured, and was shocked and hurriedly bandaged the two with unfamiliar medical skills.
"Naruto, are you all right?"
Shikamaru asked Naruto worriedly, it turned out that the other two pairs of companions had not gone far, and by the way, they had taken on the task of protecting Sakura.
"It's okay, the big monster has been beaten away, thank you, Shikamaru, and everyone!"
Naruto pretended to be okay and thanked him, but the twitching corners of his mouth betrayed his injuries.
The few stayed for a while, and when Sasuke woke up, the companions of the other two teams left separately to continue the shinobi exam.
"Alright, we're going to go!"
Naruto greeted with interest.
"Sakura-chan, you take care of Sasuke, and leave the rest of the task of snatching the scroll to me!"
Naruto was confident.
"Naruto!"
"Huh? What's wrong, Sasuke? “
Naruto, who was stopped, looked at Sasuke suspiciously.
"Take this!"
Sasuke took out two scrolls from inside his collar and handed them to Naruto.
"Two scrolls?"
Naruto took it strangely and opened it to see that it was exactly two matches.
"Sasuke, what's going on?"
"Senior Mirror came from Orochimaru."
Sasuke said briefly.
"Wow!"
Naruto was a little disgusted, but he still didn't mean to let go and throw it away.
"So all we have to do now is get to the Central Tower?"
Sakura asked.
"Ah, that's right, Naruto, it's up to you for the rest of the journey!"
Sasuke chimed in.
"Don't worry! Sasuke! “
Naruto immediately split several shadow clones to clear the way.
...
After three days of trials, the second exam also came to an end with a false alarm.
Compared with the results of the exam, the information about Orochimaru's appearance in Konoha obviously attracted more attention from the higher-ups.
But due to Orochimaru's snake-like slippery hiding skills, there was no accident in Orochimaru's search.
However, the matter of Orochimaru did not affect the Zhongnin exam too much, and the candidates received a notice that the final third exam would be held in a month, and they would fight in pairs in the arena of Konoha to determine the final winner.
For this reason, the remaining candidates have made the final sprint.
The Uchiha Kagami took Sasuke I don't know where he went, and he was accompanied by Kakashi, which was the request of the third generation.
And on Naruto's side, Yukiki also met an acquaintance;
Self also.
However, it was not so much the commission of the third generation that allowed him to come and see Yukiki and Naruto, but rather the idea that he himself came to take care of Naruto.
Merely...
"Lustful immortals! Why are you running away! “
Naruto complained to Jiraiya with a head bag, and it was obvious that he was giving Jiraiya a bag for peeping at the bathhouse again.
"Yo, Naruto! This is a man's trial! “
Jiraiya ran the train with his mouth full, flickering Naruto.
Xue Hui smiled and looked at the two who were destined to become masters and apprentices.
