The night before the exam, the security at Training Ground No. 44 had been increased. However, for Orochimaru and Yusuke, this level of security could not stop them.
Yusuke carried Shizune on his shoulders and entered the forest of death. At the same time, he was a little dissatisfied with Shizune's weight.
After all, running for more than ten or twenty kilometers without hiding it from the Konoha ninjas still consumes physical strength. Although this kind of consumption is nothing to Yusuke, it is good after all to be able to relax.
Orochimaru took Yusuke to a place relatively close to the center of the Death Forest, motioned Yusuke to lean Shizune against a big tree, and then used the rope formed by chakra deformation to tie her to a big tree as thick as a person.
, and then drew a curse seal near Shizune.
"What are you doing?" Yusuke asked confused.
"Draw a curse seal. Once someone enters the area where the curse seal is, it will immediately cause an explosion. At that time, whether it is this girl, Tsunade or other ninjas who enter the range of the curse seal, they will all explode to death." Orochimaru's lips curled up.
rise.
When Shizune heard Orochimaru's words, she twisted her body desperately, trying to shout "Help", but her mouth had already been blocked by a piece of cloth, and she could only make a whining sound.
"Why are you so bad?" Yusuke asked.
"I'm not a good person to begin with." Orochimaru said.
"What if the person who comes to save her is Uchiha Itachi?" Yusuke asked.
"Impossible. I have a way to make him lose his mind." Orochimaru raised the corners of his mouth and his eyes were sharp.
Yusuke became more and more confused about Orochimaru's thoughts.
Introduce him and Shizune into the Forest of Death, and when the Leaf Village knows their movements, it will be easy to make dumplings out of them.
Orochimaru is not a fool or a reckless man, although he does act quite devilishly.
He definitely had an intention to do this, perhaps because he was planning to focus everyone's attention here and then cause trouble elsewhere.
But isn't his target Uchiha Itachi?
Itachi should be responsible for the security of the Death Forest.
Is there any omission somewhere?
Yusuke frowned and couldn't think of a clue. He could only watch Orochimaru bending down and drawing curse patterns around Shizune. At the same time, he secretly changed the curse patterns with his feet and covered them with dead leaves.
He didn't know what curse mark Orochimaru wanted to use, but after the change, the original function would definitely not take effect. Moreover, if what Orochimaru said was true, as long as a person stood on the curse mark, it would cause an explosion, then Orochimaru
I definitely don't dare to try it easily, otherwise, Shizune will be killed directly by the explosion, and the curse seal will be useless.
Shizune tried to struggle, but under the influence of the chakra rope, her resistance was in vain, and she watched helplessly as Orochimaru finished drawing the curse pattern.
The manga has a positive description of the Chunin Exam, including the Forest of Death, and Orochimaru also did something in the Forest of Death during that exam.
Unlike that exam, this one is more rigorous.
To put it simply, 8 Chunin will enter the Death Forest in advance, each carrying a scroll.
The goals of the dozens of candidates who entered the forest of death were these scrolls.
Those who have the scroll will successfully advance to the next round, and those who do not have the scroll will be eliminated.
In other words, only 8 people are destined to advance in this round of exams.
Chuunin are destined to be stronger than genin, so if they want to get the scroll, genin in the same group can only unite with each other. But there is another problem, that is, even if three people defeat one of the chunin, then they can only
After getting 1 scroll, if you want all the ninjas in the same group to advance, you can only grab 2 more scrolls.
And even if a group is really lucky and gets three scrolls, no one can guarantee that they will not be snatched away by other exams before the exam is over.
At the same time, among the candidates of the same class, there are destined to be ninjas who are far more powerful than others. After getting the scrolls you need, then taking away other people's scrolls and destroying them is also a strategy.
Therefore, even if there are only 8 places, after this exam is over, the number of people who have passed the competition is very likely to be less than this number.
Before Yusuke came, he had read the materials sent by Danzo, and his evaluation of this exam was that it was quite difficult.
At noon on the first day, the second test of the Chunin Examination began. The candidates entered the Death Forest one after another, and the Chunin were one step ahead of them.
Yusuke has always been worried about what to do if these chuunin find this place.
Sure enough, a chuunin appeared in front of them very cooperatively, and looked overjoyed when he saw Shizune trapped in the tree.
"Why are you here? We have been looking for you for a month!" The chuunin asked Shizune impatiently, but Shizune could only shake his head, signaling the chunin not to come over.
The chuunin didn't know why, and all his attention was on Shizune. At this moment, Orochimaru appeared from behind him, killed him cleanly, and pulled the body into the bushes on one side.
Not long after, when Orochimaru appeared again, he had completely transformed into a chuunin.
It is a ninjutsu that removes facial features, peels off the face, and makes the other person's appearance your own. You only look at the appearance, and you can't tell the truth from the fake at all.
Yusuke took the scroll that Orochimaru dropped. There was a number "8" written on it, which should be the next round's match number, and he casually returned it to Orochimaru.
Shizune's eyes widened and she looked at Orochimaru in disbelief, but Orochimaru didn't care.
In his eyes, Shizune was no different than a dead person.
Yusuke originally thought that only Chuunin was such an unlucky person, but he still underestimated the persistence of ninjas from other villages to the scroll. At midnight, a group of Sand Ninja saw Orochimaru who had turned into a Chunin and was resting, and prepared to snatch the scroll. Finally,
But he was attacked by Orochimaru's "Latent Shadow Snake Hand" and was bitten to death by a snake.
The struggle before death reminded Yusuke of a famous statue, "Laocoon".
"Do you want it?" Orochimaru pointed at the face of one of the Sand Ninjas and asked.
Yusuke shook his head.
The face-erasing technique is indeed convenient, but he doesn't want to put other people's faces on his own.
Orochimaru didn't say much and just threw the body into the grass.
"Aren't you taking action yet?" Yusuke asked.
"There's no rush. Itachi isn't on duty now. When it's daytime tomorrow, it's my turn to take action." Orochimaru said with a smile.
"What are you going to do?" Yusuke asked.
"It's none of your business."
"Let me think about it." Yusuke rubbed his chin, "I am trapped in the Forest of Death, and you are planning to lure the ninjas from Konoha Village here, so how should I get out?"
"Didn't I just tell you how to get out? But you didn't want to use it." Orochimaru smiled.
"So, what is your plan? Shizune alone can't cause a big commotion, right?" Yusuke asked.
He didn't want to use the facial masking technique at all.
"She is just a pawn of mine, just like you. Tomorrow, it will be clear what will happen. Young man, don't be too impatient." Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and leaned against the roots of the tree, half asleep.
