It gives people a feeling of extreme danger. Just standing on the periphery of the forest, you can feel that there are countless pairs of eyes peering into the depths of the forest.
The hairs on my hair stand on end, and my heart is on edge.
This feeling is not only felt by other genin teams, but also by Xili's team.
Of course there is no such feeling!
A few years ago, Seely ran into the Death Forest alone to find food. For him, this place was no different from going home.
"Three scrolls require three teams, and there can't be duplicate scrolls. In this way, ten out of the forty-four teams can advance."
Quanmei moved closer to Xili and spoke with an unnatural look on her face.
Apparently she doesn't like it very much.
"Excluding the two extra teams, there are forty-two teams left. Divide by three, which means there are a total of fourteen sets of heaven, earth and man scrolls."
"Considering the scrolls lost in the battle, ten teams may have a hard time clearing the level."
Kabuto Yakushi added.
After the two expressed their opinions, they immediately turned to look at Xili.
Izumi was naturally on the side of Seeli. Kabuto Yakushi didn't want to expose himself too much, so he decided not to speak yet.
What are you looking at me doing?
Xili frowned. Does he seem like the kind of person who can formulate tactics?
Follow Xili's tactics
Let’s call it tactics!
That is, seeing one team beating another team, seeing two teams beating one pair, knocking everyone down, and being afraid of not being able to collect all the scrolls?
But the situation now is a little different.
There is a Yakushi Kabuto in the team, and Xili is always on guard against this old Yinbi. He will not leave Izumi even half a step before he understands Yakushi Kabuto's purpose.
If it weren't for the mandatory requirement of the second exam, which required the three members of the team to arrive at the central tower together with three scrolls, Xili would have been dumped by Yakushi Kabuto.
Even in battle, Yakushi Kabuto must go first.
"Kabuto-senpai, do you have any good ideas?"
Hearing this, Yakushi Kabuto was obviously taken aback.
According to the information he collected about the Bull Demon King, this kid must be reckless and beat anyone who has enough scrolls before heading to the central tower to finish.
He was still thinking about how to make Xili follow his rhythm.
After all, there are many things he doesn't want to expose.
You can still rely on your acting skills if you force a fight once or twice, but if you do it too many times, you will inevitably be exposed.
Especially when he fought with Suna Ninja before, Yakushi Kabuto had a feeling, a feeling of being seen through.
He hated this feeling.
This is why Yakushi Kabuto is not being pretentious.
He held his eyes, squatted on the ground, picked up a branch, and drew a rough bird's eye view of the Death Forest.
Then he talked about the way he could hide his strength and get through the test.
"There are two options."
Yakushi Kabuto raised two fingers, and then curled up one more, for the first plan.
"First, our team's speed is acceptable, so we can set up traps in advance and wait for the teams behind to take the bait."
"There are forty-four entrances and forty-four teams, so there is no one who enters from the same entrance as us."
"Then the next step is to make a choice. Our entrance is No. 23. Should we go to the left and guard the team on No. 22, or go to the right and guard the team on No. 24."
After he finished speaking, seeing that neither Xili nor Izumi raised any questions, Yakushi Kabuto raised his curled fingers again.
The second one is more tactful than the first one, but also more insidious.
"Second, the distance from the central tower to the door is ten kilometers. We can divide the entire Death Forest into two layers, the inside and the outside."
"With the central tower as the origin, the area with a radius of five kilometers is the inner layer."
"The area five kilometers away to the door is the outer layer."
"Compared to the outer layer, the probability of encountering enemies in the inner layer is obviously greater."
"We can follow a small team into the inner layer. When they encounter the enemy and both sides are injured, we can appear again and eliminate both teams."
"If you're lucky, you might be able to collect all three types of scrolls from heaven, earth, and people in one go."
After saying that, Kabuto Yakushi looked at the two of them with a faint smile.
Waiting for Xili and Izumi to make a decision.
The first option relies on speed, and the second option adds one more thing to speed, which is the ability to detect and counter-detection.
If the investigation capability is insufficient, it may be exploited by the other party.
Two very practical options.
But all require prerequisites.
"Izumi, which one do you think is better?"
Hearing Xili's question, Quanmei frowned and hesitated. She quickly analyzed the advantages, disadvantages and differences between the two options.
Both options are feasible and not difficult to operate.
The success rate is very high, which can be said to be very good.
but!!
Whether it is the first or the second type, both require a certain speed, and the second type requires absolutely superior perception.
She does have a basic sense of chakra perception.
Learning this perception technique is mainly to search for the wounded.
When it comes to using reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance against the enemy, Izumi has no confidence at all.
In addition, movement speed is not what she is good at.
"My speed is not good, and my perception is average. Whether it is the first option or the second option"
"I'm afraid I will be held back."
Izumi stated her weakness very simply.
Poor speed means that you can't keep up. Perception and concealment are relative. Poor perception means that your concealment ability is not that strong, and you can easily be discovered by the enemy.
Not only these two items, but also practical classes are not what she is good at.
After all, she is a student in the elite class. When she was in the ninja school, she was ranked among the top ten or twenty in her grade in practical classes.
But those who can take the Chunin Exam are experienced drivers.
For example, fifth graders like them graduated a year early, and the three-person team of Inuzuka Wolf, Sarutobi Kanagi, and Aburame Jukui did not participate.
Two monsters, Seely and Itachi, graduated early in their first grade.
In the following years, only the three members of Inuzuka Wolf's team occupied the top five in their grade, and they were truly the strongest team in Izumi's class.
"Then choose the first option, I'll just carry you."
Xili made the final decision.
The second option is too confusing and depends on luck. If the following team fails to meet another team, won't they have to follow for a long time?
Seely didn't like the feeling of being so sneaky.
What are you afraid of?
Rigidity and recklessness are the themes!
The first type is more violent, and in Xili's view, there is no need to set up a trap at all.
Xili directly separated into two shadow clones. The shadow clone went to Area 22 on the left, while the main body, Izumi and Kabuto Yakushi headed for Area 24.
Only the weak make choices, and of course the strong want them all!
Two shadow clones are enough to deal with a small team.
The shadow clone will disappear after receiving a certain degree of damage, but Xili's shadow clone will only disappear when the chakra is exhausted.
There may be people who can break through heavy gold flame defenses, but there is absolutely no chance of them in this venue!
