In the early morning of July 3rd, year 60 of the Konoha calendar, the forest of death inside and outside Konoha.
After the sand on the sand was removed, a huge pit was revealed, but under the moonlight, the situation inside the pit could not be seen clearly, so Meidaizi waved her hand and used fire-attribute chakra to ignite some nearby fallen trees.
In the light of the fire, you could see a pile of corpses lying in the pit, but they were all fragmented wrecks and could no longer be distinguished. However, the metal forehead protectors shone in the firelight, proving their identities during their lifetimes.
Yamazaki sighed: "It seems that there are too many ninjas in the Ina Country, so they were surrounded by other ninjas. There was too much chakra at that time, so they didn't notice Gaara's chakra."
Mei Daizi said in a deep voice: "Brother, I have counted the forehead protectors of 24 people in the Ina Country."
"If you want to avenge them, you must first find Gaara," Yamazaki said. "We signed a life and death certificate before we came in. Killing or being killed here will not be held accountable."
"No, it's those two ANBU people who lied to us." Meidaizi said angrily, "They must know what's going on here. They know that all the ninjas in the Ina Country are dead, so they still say that Gaara is here.
Chasing the ninjas of the Ina Country."
They are playing tricks, but they can't be called cheating." Yamazaki sighed, "Come on, clean up the battlefield and burn them all."
Yamazaki called out Nari and Kaoru to help clean up the battlefield, but Kaoru couldn't adapt well to such a bloody scene, so he could only let her rest nearby.
The three of them found many scrolls, as well as piles of ninja tools and medicine, but nothing special.
Use Fire Release to burn the wreckage, then use Water Release to fill it with water, and a small lake will appear.
After doing this, it was already dawn, and the hazy outline of the central tower could already be seen...
On the other side, the camp of Team 7.
Even though Orochimaru was by his side, and even though Haruno Sakura had steeled her will and decided to become a real ninja, she could barely agree to sleep in a tree, but she still couldn't bear not taking a bath in summer like July.
So, last night, Haruno Sakura built another house, but for safety's sake, she added traps.
So, this morning, the sleeping Uzumaki Naruto once again experienced the feeling of suddenly losing his bed.
"Sakura..."
"Hurry up and catch fish, we still need a reel."
"Yes, yes."......
After breakfast, Uzumaki Naruto suggested opening the scroll to see if he could make one. Although Haruno Sakura stopped him, he still wanted to open it secretly.
"You can't read it. The scroll contains a ninja technique that can make an expert faint." Kabuto Yakushi appeared, exhausted.
Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura quickly alerted themselves. It was exam time, and the ninjas in Konoha might also be their opponents.
"Don't be nervous, our team has collected two scrolls."
Kabuto Yakushi showed the scroll, which made Haruno Sakura sigh in relief, but Uchiha Sasuke challenged Kabuto Yakushi to a fight to snatch the scroll.
Uzumaki Naruto shouted: "Hey, Sasuke, Kabuto-senpai has helped us."
Haruno Yingsong also disagreed, "Well, I also think this is a bit..."
Uchiha Sasuke said: "Don't be nagging, he happens to be alone. In order to complete the exam, we can only do this."
Kabuto Yakushi said: "Haha, just the three of you can't catch me. You must know that except for those of you who just came from the first twenty kilometers, it is not easy for those who can survive until now."
"What's the meaning?"
"Oh, don't you know? Let's put it this way, I remember you once met Momochi Zabuza, so you should know what Momochi Zabuza is famous for, right? He killed everyone who participated in the assessment."
"It's difficult, can you say..."
"Well, this happened in this exam too. Gaara in Sunagakure is doing this. It is estimated that less than half of the people who took this exam have died."
"What!"
At Yakushi Kabuto's words, Uzumaki Naruto and the other three were shocked.
Medicine Master Kabuto said with a smile: "It seems that you have underestimated this exam. The state of life and death is not a joke."
"Come on, I'll give you a ride."
"By the way, Sasuke, if you really want my scroll, you can attack me in the middle, don't be embarrassed, because that's a real ninja!"...
Under the leadership of Yakushi Kabuto, Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke followed into a dense forest.
"This is the only place where it's easy to hide, but it's also dangerous. Others who arrive first, or even people passing by, may set traps."
"The conditions are unfavorable, the more excited I feel."
"stop!"
Yakushi Kabuto took the lead and stopped. After listening for a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Naruto, speaking so loudly in the dense forest will only reveal your position. Please don't do such things again that will attract attention."
Uzumaki Naruto was very embarrassed, "Oh."
Kabuto Yakushi said: "Now, let's take another path."
Haruno Sakura asked: "Isn't there no sound?"
Medicine Master Kabuto smiled and said: "There is no sound, which does not mean that there is no ambush. Another explanation is that they have already opened the net and are waiting for us to enter."
Uchiha Sasuke said: "So, if someone is ambushing you, changing the route can lead them out."
Yakushi Kabuto smiled and said: "Yes, the forest is so big. If you just guard next to a trap, you might not be able to wait for anyone for five days."...
After the four of them walked for a while, Yakushi Kabuto stopped again and his expression became heavy.
Haruno Sakura asked: "What's wrong?"
Kabuto Yakushi pointed to the mark on the tree, "This is the mark I just left. Now we have gone around in a circle and come back."
Uzumaki Naruto whispered: "How is that possible? We have been going straight!"
Kabuto Yakushi said: "The only possibility is that someone cast an illusion to make us think we are going straight."
"Genjutsu? This is simple." Uchiha Sasuke wanted to open his Sharingan, but he felt the mark on his neck hurt. He suddenly lost strength and fell to his knees on the ground, covering his neck.
"Sasuke, are you still injured?"
"I'm fine."
In the arms of Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke reluctantly opened his Sharingan and found that the surroundings were full of human-shaped chakra.
"No, we are surrounded."
"Where, where?"
Naruto Uzumaki stepped on a mechanism while moving around, and a kunai hit him.
Kabuto Yakushi knocked Uzumaki Naruto away, but he was stabbed by more than a dozen kunai.
Uzumaki Naruto was shocked, "Kabuto-senpai!"
"I'm fine."
Yakushi Kabuto, who was hit by a kunai, turned into a piece of wood, and Yakushi Kabuto appeared on the tree next to him, using the Substitution Technique.
Haruno Sakura whispered: "Naruto, be careful!"
"It's not Naruto's fault. There was no trap here just now. It was a trap they installed after we left." Yakushi Kabuto said, "Everyone, be careful, we are being targeted."
At this time, a group of identical people appeared from the ground and from the trees, surrounding the four people.
Uzumaki Naruto attacked one, only to find it was a phantom.
"Get away."
Uchiha Sasuke discovered that there was a real attack and immediately screamed.
Haruno Sakura immediately threw out her shuriken and finally helped Uzumaki Naruto out of the siege.
However, the opponent threw out a large shuriken from nowhere and attacked Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke in her arms.
The two of them couldn't dodge, and Yakushi Kabuto stepped forward to help block it, but one of them still stuck in his shoulder.
Yakushi Kabuto immediately pulled out his shuriken and scratched the wound.
"Poisonous?" Haruno Sakura was afraid for a while.
"It's okay, I happen to be a medical ninja." Kabuto Yakushi said while treating him, "But be careful, if you get hit, I may not be able to save you in time."
"hateful!"
"No, using shadow clones will only waste chakra."
"The shadow clones can deal with them. If their main body takes action, they can just find them."
Uzumaki Naruto used multiple shadow clones, and dozens of shadow clones fought against those phantoms...
