Chapter Seventy-One: The Forest of Death
The next day, several people gathered in the Forest of Death.
All the teams came one after another, and Sasuke felt the feeling of being watched again.
Vaguely glanced towards the place where the line of sight came, and saw a ninja with a huge purple knot wrapped around his waist, and he was wearing a huge hat, Sasuke glanced over there, and he immediately hid his entire face under the hat, and he couldn't tell the gender of the other party, but the other party had a very long tongue, which spit out from his mouth from time to time, like a poisonous snake spitting out letters.
Good keen perception.
Sasuke thought that his movements were subtle enough, but he didn't expect to be noticed by the other party.
In this Zhongnin exam, the candidates who participated in it seemed to be much more powerful than they expected, and it can be said that they were Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
After confirming that the personnel have arrived, Mitarai Red Bean distributes the consent form, and only the candidates who sign the consent form can participate in the next round, and at the same time, if there is an accident during the exam, the consequences will be borne voluntarily.
She then explained the rules in a nutshell, that all participating ninjas would survive in the wild for 120 hours in the Forest of Death, and that at the start of the tournament, all participating teams would receive one of the Book of Heaven and the Book of Earth.
Half of the squad gets the Book of Heaven and half of the squad gets the Book of Earth, and the condition for winning is to survive in the Forest of Death, while defeating other teams to get different Books of Heaven and Earth, and the team that completes the Book of Heaven and Earth requires three people to appear in the tower in the center of the Forest of Death.
Within 120 hours, if there is a attrition or if you do not gather the Book of Heaven and Earth to reach the Central Tower, you will be considered eliminated.
Survival in the wild increases the battle royale.
After each team received their own book of heaven and earth, Hongdou officially announced that the second session of the middle ninja selection exam began.
The participating ninjas entered the Forest of Death through different entrances, and Sasuke and his party came to their own entrance and entered the forest.
"Naruto, do you know what to do?"
After entering the entrance, Sasuke said to Naruto beside him.
"Of course, isn't it just using the shadow clone to collect intelligence, leave it to me."
Naruto smiled, then pulled out a blank piece of paper and marker from his pocket, and then sealed his hands, and a large number of shadow clones appeared at the entrance, scattering in all directions.
At the same time, the main body and Sasuke Sakura find a bush to hide their tracks.
The Forest of Death was quite large, with a diameter of 20 kilometers, and Naruto used more than a hundred shadow clones to move in different directions, and soon encountered candidates who entered through other entrances.
"Huh? Isn't that Naruto? ”
At this time, after laying the trap, Hinata, Shino's team saw a shadow clone of Naruto, but because it was an exam, who didn't choose to go out to say hello at this time.
And Tooth looked at Naruto holding a pen and writing everywhere, and asked with some confusion:
"What is this guy doing? Why is it that a person is running around and not dying? ”
Shino has always been silent, and after observing Naruto's actions, he simply replied:
"Gather information."
"Huh? Collecting information? Naruto's stupidity can be an information bit for their squad? ”
"His grades weren't as good as mine when he was in ninja school."
Suddenly, Naruto, who had finished recording information in his notebook, suddenly disappeared with a bang.
"Gone?"
Fang, who wanted to laugh, was stunned when he saw Naruto's behavior.
"Shadow clone."
Shino's words remained concise.
“…… Having the shadow clone come out to explore the way, when did Naruto become so smart? ”
Tooth was a little incredulous at Naruto's sassy operation.
And Hinata on the side was slightly red, and muttered in a low voice:
"Naruto-kun, come on."
"But the shadow clone is gone, how can he bring back the information he has gathered?"
Stroked the Akamaru in his arms, his teeth were a little confused.
"I don't know, but someone has fallen into the trap, let's act."
Shino pushed his sunglasses.
……
Naruto's main body that lifted a shadow clone was marked in the notebook according to the memories that had just been transmitted back by the shadow clone, and the position that the shadow clone had drawn on the paper before it was erased.
"There are a lot of ninjas who have already started fighting, it's really lively......"
Struggling to absorb the information passed on, Naruto kept writing and drawing in his notebook, and as the number of shadow clones eliminated increased, so did the records in his notebook, gradually turning into a somewhat scribbled and blurry map, with some eye-catching references and the ninja teams he had encountered at war.
As the saying goes, a good memory is better than a bad pen, and this is also Sasuke's strategy for Naruto's situation.
It wasn't realistic for him to write down all the information according to Naruto's memory, but it was barely possible for Naruto to have each shadow clone write down a few numbers in his notebook before disappearing, and then draw a mark after the main body quickly received the information.
Although the map is sloppy, it reveals a lot of information.
Sasuke handed the map drawn by Naruto to Sakura.
"Sakura-chan, it's your job next, try to analyze the current situation and the target point we are going to choose."
Sakura took the map from Naruto, took a deep breath, and began to analyze.
Under Sasuke's guidance, after receiving the Book of Heaven and Earth, she and Naruto stepped around the outer circle of the Death Forest before entering the Death Forest to understand the terrain of the Death Forest.
It was a fenced-off archetypal forest with a river running through it, and according to the hints of the Red Bean Examiner and the information gathered by Naruto, the location of the river was right in the middle of the forest, and the tower was built on top of the river.
In other words, the river near the middle of the Death Forest is a very good ambush spot, as long as you occupy it, you can have an open view, and once someone comes out of the forest and goes to the tower to deliver the Book of Heaven and Earth, they will be discovered.
And when the time comes, as long as you collect the right information, choose a team with the same strength as them or even slightly inferior to them, and grab the scrolls, then there is a great probability of getting a set of heaven and earth scrolls at the same time.
This will not only avoid meaningless blind engagements - if you find out that the other party is carrying a scroll that is not what they need, you will be in an embarrassing state of wasting your physical strength and even being picked up cheaply by others.
It can also wait for work, save physical strength, and have a better state than other candidates.
Of course, the premise of this plan is that their team is strong enough to defeat the team that has also obtained the Book of Heaven and Earth.
Sasuke, who made this plan, naturally has such confidence.
Sakura marked a point on the map that was very close to the river, and according to Naruto's records, it was very close to the tower, less than a kilometer away.
"Sasuke, we can go here."
And after Sasuke looked at the point marked by Sakura, he pondered for a moment, but shook his head and said.
