042 [Chunin Trials II]

PreviousBack to directoryNext
The Chunin Selection Tournament, the second test, has officially begun.

The genin hesitated for a while, and finally someone couldn't hold it any longer.

A young lady with green hair on her head walked into the "information room".

Then, several more people walked towards the "Information Room".

Danzo, however, focused his attention on Lu Mao.

Open your notebook, Kenneth...

Another commoner, he doesn’t even have a last name.

After a while, Kenneth passed through the "Information Room". As soon as he entered the training ground, Kenneth quickly ran towards the west.

Almost a second later, another genin rushed out of the "information room" and fired three kunai at Kenneth's back.

Not paying attention to the kunai being missed, he chased after Kenneth and pulled out a ninja sword.

Then, another genin came out, quickly formed seals with his hands, aimed at the sword-wielding genin in front, and used a fire escape technique to escape the fireball.

However, as soon as the fireball flew out, two genin appeared behind the genin. Without even a chance to react, the ninjutsu was interrupted and he was knocked to the ground.

A scroll was found from his body and torn.

This genin is out.



Training Ground No. 11 is a long training ground, long in the east-west direction and very narrow in the north-south direction.

The west entrance of the training ground happens to be the entrance of a creek, which runs right through the entire training ground, reaches the northeast entrance of the training ground, and then leaves far away.

In other words, this training ground intercepts such a section of the creek, as well as the area less than a hundred meters wide on both sides of the creek. The terrain is complex, with mountains, water, forests and beaches. It can be said that any ninja who specializes in escape techniques can be trained in this training ground.

No strength will be suppressed.

In a certain section of the training ground, a chuunin was walking along the creek.

The eyes are constantly looking for something everywhere.

Finding water marks on a stone by the stream, the Chuunin did not get close to take a closer look, but looked to the other side of the stream.

Nothing unusual.

Then look at the water-marked stones and the small woods behind them.

The grass on the ground was very messy, there were traces of kunai and ninja swords on one tree, and there seemed to be a motionless black shadow deep in the woods.

Look around again, nothing unusual.

The chuunin smiled, turned around, and walked towards the direction of the stream, which was not unusual at all.

"Although I tried my best to disguise it, this is an examination room. You are not running at the front. Each genin chooses a different movement route. How can there be no trace at all?"

Saying that, the chuunin pulled out a wooden sword and showed a cruel smile: "Hey hey hey, stop hiding. The biggest abnormality is the absence of abnormality."

Just after walking a few steps, a piece of "nothing unusual" land on the side of the road suddenly exploded, and a figure rushed out and fled into the distance.

Just as the chuunin was about to charge forward to attack, several kunai and shurikens were shot from different directions.

The chunin shook his left hand, and a kunai appeared in his hand.

After a few clanging sounds, all hidden weapons were bounced away.

The chuunin put away his kunai, raised his wooden sword and chased after the genin.



Danzo hid on the side, watching them quietly as they chased and escaped, heading into the distance.

Then he turned his eyes and fell on the other side, the "abnormally numerous" forest. The strange black shadow slowly moved to one side, it was a fake stone.

A hole was exposed under the stone, and a ninja sneakily crawled out of it, gently lifted the fake stone, and gently covered the entrance of the hole.

He did not move in a "leap" way like a ninja. He hunched over, lowered his body, and barely made any cross talk. He moved at the walking speed of an ordinary person, but hid himself in the grass.



Battles like this keep happening in Training Ground No. 11.

Initially, the genin did not know about this trial and that there were chuunin who were causing trouble for them.

Basically, those who sprinted brazenly were targeted by the chuunin halfway, and the first few people were even besieged by the chuunin.

In this trial, the chunin participating in it were all carefully selected by Tobirama. Unlike the first trial, these chunin were all the elite of the elite, and some of them already had the strength of jounin.

They also used wooden swords, and the chuunin maintained the same style as the first game, cutting painfully but not seriously injuring them, just to prevent people from participating in the trial.

As for the examiner of the second trial, it seems that during his previous contact with the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, Tobirama developed the incredible ability to escape.

During the second trial, Jiraiya actually left the stage.

After using Penetration, you can walk behind a genin holding a wooden sword without being discovered.

Therefore, in the No. 11 training ground of the trial, it was said that there was a white ghost. No one had seen his face. A few powerful genin could barely see a little bit of white before being knocked unconscious.

That's Jiraiya's hair color.

During the second trial, Danzo selected some genin one after another and added them to the "winner list".

At the end of the second game, more than 90% of the remaining 100 genin were ninjas from large families.

Danzo had already expected this.

After all, ninjas from big families, even genin, know at least one escape technique.

Among civilian ninjas, except for those who are geniuses, most of them can only learn escape techniques if they are chuunin.

For the first trial, the main test was to test the ability of taijutsu, focusing on speed and reaction. It is not important whether you know ninjutsu or not. The nearly 1,000 genin selected all have a certain level of taijutsu foundation.

, I don’t say how much merit I will be able to accomplish in future wars, but I can at least use physical skills to last longer.

These genin, who are better at taijutsu, can't deal with enemies that they can't handle even if they know more ninjutsu.

Not seeking meritorious service, but seeking to persist longer.

In the second trial, those who have a certain degree of lurking, stealth, and intelligence escort will be selected.

After all, when a chuunin is in a war, and the opponent is a chunin, the main task is to kill the enemy. Even if he cannot kill the opponent, he still has to entangle the opponent.

When the opponent is a jounin, the chuunin is basically unable to deal with it. Their main tasks on the battlefield are actually to lurk, sneak and escort intelligence.

We don’t ask them to kill the enemy, but we ask them to survive.

In the afternoon, the third trial began.

The hundred shortlisted genin were not given any rest time.

Went directly to a building.

In a conference hall, hundreds of genin took their seats one after another.

This time, the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama still did not appear, and Danzo began to become confused.

After all, it was a bit strange that Tobirama appeared in the first trial but was absent from the second and third trials.

The examiner of the third selection competition also came to the podium.

The first one was Kayako, the second one was Jiraiya, and Danzo had already guessed who it was in the third one.

Orochimaru stood on the podium and glanced at the large crowd under the stage, which was a bit crowded.

"I am Orochimaru, the examiner of the third trial. The rules for the third trial are very simple. You can move freely in this room and are not allowed to go out until the sun goes down..."

The Genin geniuses in the audience probably had some guesses after hearing this.

All the genin began to look at each other.

In the third trial, there were no conditions for passing, so "eliminating competitors" became the genin's choice.

However, just when the Genin geniuses were about to make a move.

Orochimaru's voice sounded again: "It is forbidden to attack each other."

Thank you to the reader for the tip of "Sleeping in Pines and Cypresses", thank you, thank you very much.
