By around two o'clock in the afternoon, the candidates had chosen their own entrances and were waiting for the exam to begin with the Chuunin proctors guarding the entrance.
The three people in Class 10 also chose an entrance and waited for the exam to begin.
The Chuunin proctor, who was standing at the gate of the fence, waiting to open the gate for Shikamaru and the others, looked at the three people from Class 10 with some doubts.
Shikamaru and Choji were fighting side by side, but Ino, who had used the mind-body switching technique, was half-supported by Shikamaru and almost completely pressed against Shikamaru's body. This situation seemed a bit strange.
A quiet breath came from Ino's hair, mixed with the fragrance of flowers, and it smelled very good. At this time, Ino's body suddenly trembled.
Shikamaru lowered his head and looked up. Ino, who had just returned from the mind-body conversion technique, also raised his head and looked into Shikamaru's eyes. Ino's ice-blue eyes showed a trace of ripples, and then he acted as if nothing had happened and struggled to get out of his way.
Shikamaru stood up in his arms and whispered to his two companions: "I wrote down the appearance and characteristics of the six groups holding the Scroll of Heaven."
"There are three entrances chosen that are relatively close to us. They are from Konoha, Amegakure Village and Takigakure Village." Ino carefully looked at the Chuunin proctor not far away, lowered his voice, and said to Shikamaru and
Choji and the two said: "The entrances chosen by the other three teams were relatively far away, and because they had to follow the other teams, they did not notice which entrance they chose."
"Very good." Shikamaru nodded when he heard the words, and his eyes fell on the forest of death that was very close, separated only by a wall. Although the opponent would not just stay near the entrance after the exam started, the search would be simple as long as he knew the approximate location.
A lot.
It is a pity that Shikamaru cannot bring a ninja eagle to take the exam. If the hawk cannot be captured in this forest, Ino can only use the body of an ordinary bird to detect, but even so, Ino has a satellite-like
The exploration method can also use the previously memorized appearance characteristics of the six teams to find them, so that Team 10 can gain an active advantage.
Time gradually passed. At 2:30 in the afternoon, that is, five minutes before the exam started, at the gate located outside the Death Forest, the various proctoring chuunin began to untie the multiple tangles on the iron gate one by one.
Iron lock and seal, then lowered his head and stared at the watch on his wrist, observing the time.
"It's time!" At exactly 2:30 in the afternoon, while the examiner Anko Mitarai was saying to herself, the invigilators at each entrance also waved together and announced the "Scroll Battle" for the second round of the Chunin Selection Exam.
"The official start of!
"Whoa!"
As soon as the proctor announced the start of the exam, Shikamaru, Choji and Ino quickly rushed out, like arrows from the sky, as if there were monsters chasing behind them, with the wind at their feet, rushing into the forest of death.
"Ino leads the way," Shikamaru said while running quickly, jumping on the trunks of towering trees, climbing to a certain height to get a better view, and at the same time he ordered his two companions: "Find Uri first.
The nearest team is holding the Scroll of the Sky, we need to collect the scroll as soon as possible, and then find a good place to set up a trap."
"Don't we go to the central tower first!? Wouldn't it be better to set up traps there?" Choji asked Shikamaru doubtfully. The final destination of all candidates is the central tower. The closer they get there, the wider their range of activities.
Xiao, in fact, many candidates including Choji understand this.
The radius of the entire Death Forest is only ten kilometers. This distance is not a big deal for the ninja's foot strength. The difficulty is that there are ferocious beasts and poisonous insects blocking the way, and there are also candidates in the same field who are watching eagerly, but for those who have the strength,
For candidates, as long as they concentrate on attacking, they can quickly reach the central tower and gain an advantage.
"No, when did I say I was going to the central tower!?" Shikamaru replied in a low voice, without any expression on his face. Only his eyes flickered, revealing his slightly complicated mood at this time: "Someone will come looking for me.
We, and this exam, we probably have more important things to do!"
…………
At the beginning of the second exam, a team of candidates from Kusanagi Village, like Shikamaru's Class 10, rushed into the forest of death like a whirlwind as soon as the examiner's order was given, lowering their upper bodies, almost
Stay close to the ground and connect your running legs to form a black line.
The ninja from Kusanagi Village who was walking at the front of the team wore a hat and had shoulder-length black hair. His eyes were dull, his expression was numb, and he looked unnatural. The other two companions both had bald heads, and one of them had a scar on his face.
Wearing a devil-like metal mask, the limbs are slender, and the nails on both hands and feet are long and sharp, which looks very sharp. The other person also wears a bamboo hat, with a pendant piece of paper on the edge, with a big word "death" written on it.
, his eyes are long and narrow and gloomy. As a man, he still has eye shadow on the corners of his eyes, which looks very strange.
"Remember the location of that kid!" The long-haired Kusanagi ordered his two companions, his throat seemed to be pinched, and his voice was hoarse and sharp: "Split up and we must find him as soon as possible!"
Unexpectedly, the other two companions in the team were not at all dissatisfied with the former's command tone. Instead, they acted as if they were taking it for granted, with respectful and humble expressions that did not match their dress.
"I understand, Lord Orochimaru!"
…………
"I wonder what kind of scroll Shikamaru and the others are holding." Inuzuka Kiba muttered to himself, playing with a shuriken in his hand.
After the exam started, Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino, and Hinata Hinata quickly entered the forest of death and found an open area where the three of them were discussing some plans.
"Akamaru!" After Inuzuka Kiba played with it for a while, he lowered his head slightly and looked at his beloved dog Akamaru, who was lying on his collar with his chest on his chest. He handed the shuriken over and with a slight gesture, Akamaru became considerate.
He stretched his head closer and twitched his nose slightly, smelling the lingering scent of the owner of the shuriken.
"Let's go find Shikamaru and the others first. With the search capabilities of our team, plus Shikamaru, I'm afraid all the genin in this forest will not be our opponents!" Inuzuka Kiba smiled proudly, followed the words with his hands, and fiercely
He waved down, which made his performance at this time even more courageous: "Of course, if their vigilance is too low, I don't mind taking the opportunity to defeat Shikamaru, a powerful enemy here."
As a new genin, he wanted to cooperate with his fellow ninjas to catch all the candidates taking the chunin exam. Inuzuka Kiba, like Uzumaki Naruto, although sometimes seemed arrogant and nervous, this characteristic made it easier for them.
Come up with some unexpected plans.
While the three of them were talking, Akamaru, who was lying obediently in Inuzuka Kiba's arms, suddenly started to growl.
Inuzuka Kiba raised his eyebrows unnaturally, and Aburame Shino and Hyuga Hinata, who had been with Inuzuka Kiba for a long time and had a certain understanding of Akamaru, also secretly raised their guard after seeing Akamaru's performance.
Trained ninja dogs are even better than ninjas in tracking and anti-tracking skills, and any outsider's scent cannot escape the capture of this excellent sense of smell.
"What an idiot! Didn't you have knowledge of jungle survival when you were in the ninja school?" Inuzuka Kiba still pretended to be discussing with his companions, but his eyes were secretly looking around the forest, and at the same time he couldn't help but laugh at the ambusher in his heart: "Let's talk about these people.
He is a loser who has passed the exam many times and has almost forgotten all the knowledge he learned in the ninja school!?"
This kind of forest full of wild beasts and poisonous insects is very dangerous, especially the latter. Most of the extremely venomous snakes or dangerous poisonous insects like to live in the forest and hide and camouflage, waiting to give their prey a fatal blow in the dark. In contrast,
Next, although the open area is conspicuous, you will also encounter wild beasts such as bears and tigers, which are easier for ninjas to deal with. This is why Inuzuka Kiba and others chose to stay in the open area for discussion, both to avoid poisonous insects and
The reason for the invasion was also the idea of being a bait.
From Akamaru's prompts, we can find that he is hiding in the woods. This state of staying in one place and not taking action is the most dangerous, but these people are not aware of it yet.
Hinata Hinata secretly formed the seals together. As the chakra energy gathered, stripes gradually bulged around her eyes, as if tiny earthworms were spread all over them. It looked a bit scary, and the light gray eyes that looked like stagnant water also popped.
However, it was broken, like fine cracks on a piece of white jade.
Aburame Shino's parasitic bug, Inuzuka Kiba's Akamaru, Hyuga Hinata's Byakugan, the Konoha genin team, and even among all the candidate teams taking part in the Chuunin exams, there is probably no team that can surpass Class 8 in terms of detection and tracking.
Team up.
Although Inuzuka Kiba and others still maintained a discussion posture, they actually still formed a basic formation of a three-person team on guard, dispersed into three parties fighting against each other, with companions monitoring the rear. It was obvious that they had not relaxed their vigilance, and this
The ambusher needs to wait more time.
"ah!"
A scream suddenly sounded from the forest not far behind Team 8. Three Konoha genin, dressed in black tights and wearing Konoha forehead protectors, stumbled out of the forest. Looking carefully, they found that
There seemed to be bulges on the body.
"It's a leech!" Aburame Shino pushed up her round sunglasses and whispered.
Leeches rely on heat to sense prey. The three Konoha genin stayed in one place for too long. The slow-moving leeches were like greedy eaters who discovered the cooked food. They naturally started to move without any hesitation, and due to the leech secretion
The paralyzing hirudin was only discovered when the bodies of the three of them were already covered with fat leeches.
"There is a flaw!" Inuzuka Kiba laughed loudly. The opponent was waiting for Class 8 to reveal a flaw, but why wasn't Class 8 waiting for the opponent to do the same? The second exam is a consuming and strenuous event, and it can save even the slightest bit.
The strength will be helpful in the later battles. Weak enemies will consume more energy. If we encounter strong enemies in the future, we will miss because of this. Wouldn’t it be extremely stupid!?
