"The above are the rules for the second exam. There are a total of forty-four locked entrances in this training ground. After exchanging three consent letters from a team for a scroll, you can each choose an entrance. When the time comes,
When you arrive, enter the training ground!" After Mitarashi Anko finished explaining the rules, she added: "Finally, I'll give you a piece of advice - don't die in there!"
"Start collecting the scrolls!"
At this time, in the small wooden house on the outside of the fence, the chunin invigilating the exam had completely blocked the door with black cloth and shouted to the many candidates.
The candidates who signed the consent form entered the cabin in small groups, and other candidates were not allowed to approach. This made it difficult to discover what kind of scroll the team entering the cabin held.
"Although in theory, it is possible for up to twelve teams to pass this exam, in fact, because the scroll held by the target is not certain, all candidates in this exam are considered potential enemies!" Sasuke Uchiha signed his agreement.
Book, while observing the candidates entering the cabin, thinking in his heart: "And as long as you snatch one more scroll, the two teams will be eliminated together. This is the second test. A capable genin can definitely use this to do it."
Clear the redundant competitors, clear the obstacles for the next exam, and 'eliminate more than half', it seems that the examiner is not talking big!"
…………
"Ino, Chouji, hurry up and sign, and then we will get the scroll as soon as possible!" After Shikamaru took the consent form from Mitarashi Anko, he just scanned the content and quickly signed his name on it,
And urged Ino and Choji.
Choji and Ino looked at Shikamaru with some doubts, but seeing him urging them, out of the long-term trust that Shikamaru had made in his decision-making, they immediately signed their names and handed the consent form to Shikamaru.
Maru, and then followed him into the cabin and received the scroll.
The wooden house outside the fence can be said to be very simple, and what blocks the view of the candidates is just a wide black cloth. There are no doors on both sides. The confidentiality measures only prevent the candidates from standing next to the wooden house.
Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino were the second team to enter the cabin. Before the three was the Sunagakure team headed by Gaara. As a jinchuriki, Gaara was not afraid of any genin at all, and in view of his own
Even though it was a special mission involving their lives, the three people in Sunagakure quickly signed their names without any hesitation, becoming the first team of candidates to enter the wooden house.
After Sunagakure and the other three received the scroll from the wooden house, they happened to meet Shikamaru and the other three. When Gaara saw this, he paused slightly. The manner in which Team 10 signed the consent form clearly revealed his strong confidence in himself.
Unexpectedly, Gaara nodded slightly to Shikamaru as a greeting. Although Shikamaru was a little surprised, he nodded in return out of politeness.
When Gaara saw Shikamaru nodding in return, he turned around and left quickly. Kankuro and Temari looked at each other, and Temari couldn't help but look at Shikamaru thoughtfully.
Feeling the gaze from Temari, Shikamaru withdrew his gaze from Gaara and looked at him. After their eyes met briefly, Temari glared at Shikamaru fiercely, then looked away, joining Kankuro.
Follow Gaara's footsteps closely and leave.
"Who are those three people!?" Ino turned to look at the backs of the three leaving Sunagakure, especially those with long blond hair, but with some playful braids on their heads, and wearing close-fitting dresses, which made them look curvy.
Temari, compared to the still young Ino, the sixteen-year-old Temari already has a feminine style, which makes her voice a little strange: "They are the Sunagakure ninjas that Shikamaru said not long ago.
?"
"Yes," Shikamaru nodded. Seeing Ino's lips pursed slightly, looking unconvinced, he explained, "The one with the gourd on his back is a powerful enemy."
…………
"That Konoha ninja named Nara Shikamaru is dead. The monster Gaara is already interested in him!" Kankuro, who had already turned around and left, sneered. Thinking of Gaara's behavior before, he felt sorry for Shikamaru in his heart.
Get up: "But I still hope not to meet him in this exam. Gaara is going crazy, but he will not be recognized by his relatives."
Shikamaru naturally didn't know that Kankuro had marked him for death in his heart at this time. After entering the cabin, he slowly took out the consent form from his ninja bag and handed it to the two invigilators sitting in the cabin.
, while carefully looking at the environment of the wooden house, and finally, under the urging of the invigilator, finally handed the consent form to the other party in exchange for an Earth Scroll.
After receiving the scroll handed over by the proctor, Shikamaru put it directly into his ninja bag. Ino and Choji had no objections to this. After all, among the three, Shikamaru was the leader.
Both in terms of strength and intelligence, they are the best.
…………
"It turned out to be a battle of survival in the wild," Inuzuka Kiba played with the consent form in his hand, glanced at the direction where the Oto-nin and Rain-nin candidates were, and said with a sneer: "This is exactly the project we are good at!"
"We'd better submit the consent as soon as possible!" Aburame Shino, who had always been calm, saw that Shikamaru's Team 10 quickly signed the consent form and received the scroll. After thinking with a frown, he suddenly realized something and urged Inuzuka with a little eagerness.
tooth.
Seeing Inuzuka Kiba looking at him with some confusion, Aburame Shino explained in a low voice: "Do you still remember what Morino Ihiki said during the first exam?"
"'Information is sometimes more important than a ninja's life'. How can that small piece of black cloth stop the ninja's detection!?" Shino Aburame stared at Inuzuka Kiba meaningfully and said, "Get the scroll as soon as possible.
People will have more time to explore the information and know what kind of scroll they have in their hands!"
"I see. No wonder that guy Shikamaru almost didn't even read the consent form before urging Choji and Ino to sign it." At this time, the three people in Team 10 where Shikamaru belonged had already obtained the scroll and walked out of the cabin in a hurry.
Seeing this, Inuzuka Kiba thought of Shikamaru's previous performance and said with sudden realization.
"Hinata's white eyes can see what kind of scroll those candidates are holding, but we need to know what kind of scroll we are holding before we can choose a target." Shino Aburame raised her right hand, index finger raised, Inu.
Tsukasa and Hinata looked carefully and found a small black insect staying on it: "This is a female parasitic insect. It has almost no smell. Only male parasitic insects can smell it."
"We will get the scroll first, and then use Hinata's Byakugan to find out where the other teams' scrolls are. If there is a team that matches our scroll, I will secretly put female parasites on them." Aburame Shino said quietly.
He explained his plan to his companions.
Hearing this, Inuzuka Kiba nodded, turned around and said to Hinata Hinata, who was a little uneasy because of the second exam: "You have to work hard, Hinata!"
Hyuga Hinata agreed softly. Seeing this, Inuzuka Kiba sighed and turned his attention away from the other party. When he turned his eyes, he noticed the kunai and shuriken falling on the ground. This was the same thing as Anko and Shuriken before.
Shikamaru threw them separately.
When Inuzuka Kiba saw the shuriken, he didn't know what he thought of. He chuckled, bent forward and picked it up. After throwing it in his hand twice, he said to Aburame Shino thoughtfully: "I
I have a good idea, Shino."
"You said..." Seeing Aburame Shino looking at him, Inuzuka Kiba grinned and revealed a meaningful smile, with long and sharp canine teeth exposed, looking a little cruel: "We will let only the remaining students in the next exam
How about leaving the Leaf Village ninja?"
…………
Shikamaru, Choji and Ino took the scrolls and left the place where many candidates gathered. Shikamaru, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong, Shikamaru?" Ino asked when Shikamaru stopped walking.
Shikamaru did not answer, his eyes fell on a sparrow perched on a tree not far away. After squinting his eyes and looking at it, he quickly made seals with his hands. The shadow under his feet was slightly distorted, and then a black shadow suddenly ran out of it.
It looked like a strange black snake, crawling on the ground. After arriving at the foot of the tree, it moved along the trunk towards the branch where the tit was. After stopping for a while, it suddenly accelerated and controlled the sparrow.
"The most critical point of this exam is to grasp the timing - the longer you stay in this forest, the more dangerous it will be. On the contrary, the first person to gather the scrolls and reach the central tower will be the safest.
, you can set up traps to attack other candidates, and you can escape at any time at critical moments!" Shikamaru explained to Choji and Ino: "Being able to know what kind of scrolls other candidates have in advance can save the time of searching for scrolls.
time, this information is our chance to win!"
"Ino, you use the mind-body switching technique to control this sparrow, and then immediately return to the small wooden house where the scrolls are distributed. It is very simple. You can see clearly from the side of the wooden house what scrolls the subsequent candidates have obtained." Lu.
Maru gave Ino serious instructions alone: "Try to remember which teams have the Scroll of Heaven, they are our next targets!"
"I understand!" After hearing Shikamaru's words, Ino nodded obediently, came to Shikamaru's side, made a seal with his hands, aimed at the sparrow who was restrained by Shikamaru not far away, and said to Shikamaru in a strange voice
Said: "Then my body will trouble you, Shikamaru!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ino's body suddenly fell limply in the direction of Shikamaru. Shikamaru was startled, unlocked the shadow imitation technique, and hugged Ino at the same time.
Ino seemed to be in a deep sleep, with his mouth slightly open and breathing vaguely. At this time, the sparrow controlled by Ino had already staggered to Shikamaru.
"Be careful." Seeing this, Shikamaru said to Ino who was controlling the sparrow's body. After all, the sparrow's body was very fragile at this time, and Ino's mind-body switching technique had very serious side effects.
Ino, who was controlling the sparrow's body, nodded, looking a little funny, but Shikamaru didn't care about it. After watching the other person take a few steps, he seemed to adapt to his body, suddenly spread his wings, and headed towards the wooden house where the scrolls were distributed.
