Hiratsuka Island, the location of the Chunin Examination in Kirigakure Village, is the most famous island in Kirigakure’s third alert zone.
Since the Fourth Generation Mizukage Gotachibana Yagura came to power and began to implement a cruel high-pressure policy, Hiratsuka Island, which is the second level of the Chuunin Examination, has gradually turned into an island of purgatory and an island of death in the words of Kiri Ninja.
Before the second level of the Mist Ninja Chuunin Exam begins, there is also a traditional written test.
For normal genin, the written test is always the easiest to pass. As long as there are no special requirements for the test content, the passing rate of the ordinary written test has always remained above 80.
Compared with the written examination, which is safe and not life-threatening, the Chunin Examination is truly a test of blood and fire starting from the second level.
As Kirigakure with the title of Blood Mist, the difficulty of selecting ninja is much more difficult than that of other ninja villages.
Generally speaking, for examinations conducted independently within the Ninja Village, no matter how dangerous the assessment content is, the Ninja Village will intentionally control the mortality rate of candidates to less than ten percent.
After all, candidates who can pass the chuunin exam are also genin who have performed many missions.
Genin also plays an important role as the most basic force of the ninja village. If the loss is too great, it will easily cause a chain reaction in the future.
Unlike the Ninja Village Joint Examination, which requires you to show your strength, in the normal Chuunin Examination, a ten percent mortality rate is enough to make the Ninja Village senior management feel distressed.
Of course, the Mist Ninja is different from other ninja villages. With Uchiha Obito behind the scenes, the Mist Ninja selection policy has always been as cruel as possible.
Just like the ninja school graduation exam, the mortality rate from ninja students to genin is over 60%.
Students who graduate from the Ninja School in Mist Ninja Village are definitely the elite among Genin.
As for these elite genin who want to be promoted to chuunin after growing up, although the mortality rate no longer exceeds 60%, it is still between 40 and 50%.
In the fleet carrying the candidates to Hiratsuka Island, Toru Watanabe disguised a composite clone of himself as a guard and stood behind Mei Terumi.
The second and third levels of the Mist Ninja Chunin Examination will be held on Hiratsuka Island, and Yagura, as the Mizukage, will also come to the island with the boat on this day.
As long as Yagura is allowed to leave the Mist Ninja Village, the Mist Ninja Elders can calmly plan their plan against Yagura. Otherwise, once Yagura, a jinchuriki in the village, goes berserk, let alone whether the elders' group's plan will succeed. Anyway, the village will definitely There will be heavy losses.
All along, except for tentative attacks, the elders have been waiting for Yagura's opportunity to leave the village.
Obviously, the current Chunin Examination is the best opportunity they have been waiting for.
As the fleet moves forward, the huge black shadow on the sea level in the distance gradually comes into view through the shallow fog.
Everyone knows that that is the destination of this trip, Hiratsuka Island!
Terumi Mei looked at the island shadow in the distance, and gestured to a guard beside her. The guard immediately retreated, and not long after, a firework exploded from the outer ship.
As fireworks bloomed in the sky, the fleet that was originally advancing in an arrow formation suddenly spread out from the outside.
Terumi Mei watched the boat the candidates were traveling on move away quickly, with only determination in her charming eyes.
The Hiratsuka Island assessment, the second level of the Chunin Exam, has extremely cruel rules. This assessment does not require candidates to complete collection or combat tasks, but requires candidates to use the entire island as a venue to engage in unregulated fighting.
No matter what method you use, as long as you can survive until half of the candidates are left, you will pass.
Such rules have been carried out for several times under Yagura's forced order, but now that Yagura's plan has been launched, Terumi Mei does not allow the village to continue to conduct such inhumane assessments.
"Do you think we will succeed this time?"
Terumi Mei turned to Toru Watanabe and said softly.
Watanabe Toru was now wrapped in a white cloak. Hearing this, he said calmly:
"Now that I'm involved, the result is destined."
There was a nice curve in the corner of Terumi Mei's mouth,
"As expected of a manager, he speaks so domineeringly. Since you say so, I have no worries!"
The two looked at each other, and then jumped directly from the bow of the ship to the sea in tacit agreement.
The ship Yagura was on was right behind them. The moment they broke away from the ship, there was a commotion on the high-rise building where Yagura was located.
The thick fog enveloped the large ship Yagura was riding at some point.
The sound of fierce weapon collisions continued to be heard from the fog.
In a room on the top floor of the building, the young Yagura stood quietly in front of the window and looked out the window quietly through the glass.
Although it was completely white outside, Yagura's eyes seemed to be through the fog, and he could see his loyal guards fighting with the enemy.
"I have been waiting for this opportunity for too long..."
A cold voice sounded in the room, and with the sound of the voice, thick fog began to appear in the room.
Yagura turned around and tilted his head to glance at the door, with obvious confusion on his face.
"Why do you guys always do these little tricks again and again? I give everything for the village, everything I do is for the village, why are you dissatisfied?"
"You are members of the village, and the village is for you. Why do you always want to resist me? Overthrow me? Why is this?"
At first, Yagura seemed to be asking questions to the people in the dark, but later on, it seemed more like he was talking to himself.
"Because even if a ninja is just a tool, he still has the instinct to live. As Mizukage, you destroyed the entire village and took away too many things..."
An indifferent voice responded to Yagura's question. As the voice fell, the entire room became invisible under the thick fog.
Yagura pondered for a few seconds after hearing the words, then shook his head,
"You are wrong. As the Mizukage, I have the right to control everything about the Kiri Ninja. The village is obviously prosperous under my leadership. The system I established is just to select the real elite, the people who are truly useful to the village." p>
"You think you are tools, but you still have thoughts as human beings. This is wrong. You said that your instinct to live makes you resist me, but resisting me as a Mizukage is naturally wrong!"
"Since it is a mistake, it must be corrected. Tell me, do you want to change your instinct? Or do you not want to live?"
"You're probably crazy!"
Cold voices sounded from all directions at the same time. Yagura turned around violently, and a cold light behind him suddenly struck his face.
Clang!
A string of sparks bloomed in the air.
Yagura raised his arm to block the sudden attack. There were dense things on his arm that looked like coral reefs, and at this moment, a standard ninja sword was stuck on these coral reefs.
"What a pity. In fact, I valued you very much at the beginning. Ever since you graduated from the Ninja School, I thought you would be the future of Kiri Ninja. But now your choice has disappointed me, Zabuza-kun!" p>
Yagura couldn't see clearly the other party's appearance through the thick fog, but he knew the other party's identity from the moment he swung his sword.
