"That's it, then let's go with you." Kurotsuchi immediately put down his guard. After all, if he is an enemy and is attacked, his first reaction should be to defend, not to scream for mercy.
"Okay, okay, follow me. A team from Konoha has arrived first. There are currently six vacancies for the third assessment." The chuunin described the current situation to the three people from Iwagakure, and then
Just keep your mouth shut and lead the way with peace of mind.
He could feel that these three people were unusual and seemed to be a bit of a threat to him.
"That's it, but only two people have arrived in Konoha? Where is the other one?" Akato discovered something wrong. Eight minus six equals two. This three-year-old child knew it. In other words, only two genin arrived in Konoha.
Bit.
And in this forest, is there anyone else who can eliminate the powerful enemy of Konoha's team?
"Oh, it's like this. The oldest old ninja in the Konoha team has voluntarily given up. He is not willing to participate in the subsequent promotion assessment." The chuunin said it lightly without turning his head.
…
"Coming!" A figure with blue light suddenly landed on Omoi's path. He had no time to dodge, so he could only draw his knife and slash horizontally.
This was the best reaction he could make.
"Senior!" Aziyi was immediately stunned by this. He held the short knife in his hand but did not make any movement, and his legs were trembling uncontrollably.
In this appearance, he looks like a master who is no weaker than Yu Ling...
"You two, don't be nervous... huh? Who are you?" The smoke cleared and Kabuto Yakushi opened his eyes. He subconsciously pushed up his glasses, only to find that the two people in front of him were a little different from what he had imagined.
.
"These two people...are not Yu Ling and Yakumo." Looking at the two boys, one stared at him nervously, while the other kept shaking in fear, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritated.
These two people are of no use to him at all, and killing them will cause trouble.
"We still want to know who you are and why you have chased us so far?" Omoyi mustered up the courage to ask. He had no impression of this person, but he seemed to be one of the candidates.
"Konoha genin, Yakushi Kabuto. I thought you two were from Yu Ling's group, and I had something to do with them. Since it's you, let's break up. You have nothing to do with me." Yakushi Kabuto directly issued an eviction order.
I was also ready to run away.
"Don't add extraneous problems." This is what he has always told himself.
"That's it." Aziyi relaxed a little, but the hand holding the knife was still shaking. Since they were not enemies, the two of them were a little safer.
"Then go ahead, let's go first." After saying that, he took Aziyi's hand and left.
This man gave him a very dangerous feeling, and he didn't want to stay here any longer.
"Okay." He nodded his head as he acquiesced, and turned to look at Jian Meicheng who was hiding in the dark, with a face full of disappointment and nowhere to hide.
I couldn't get the information I wanted, and I didn't even see the person I expected, so my evaluation of myself suddenly dropped a lot.
Not being aware of the person in front of you is a big mistake for a double agent.
If such a problem occurs during the mission, one might lose his life.
"Let's go too. Kabuto Yakushi, finish the mission as soon as possible." Kenmizumi felt that Kabuto Yakushi's condition was no longer normal, and he was anxious to drag him away so that he could give Orochimaru an explanation as soon as possible.
"Okay, let's go ahead and talk about it." He deliberately chose the opposite direction of Yunyin's retreat and escaped into the forest without saying a word.
…
At this point, the forest slowly calmed down, and the fights in every corner also subsided.
The candidates arrived at the central tower one after another, but the difference in order resulted in different treatment. Everyone's room was different.
The pharmacist went in, showed his face, and then exited directly. Beside him, Kenmeicheng carried Akanekai on his shoulders as usual.
"Are you looking for Lord Orochimaru?"
"No, let's just go back to the village and wait for him. The risk of meeting here is too high. It's better for us to behave on other people's territory. Anyway, Lord Orochimaru will be back soon. We have nothing to report.
Just wait." Kabuto Yakushi was a little disappointed with his plan, so he didn't dare to go to Orochimaru. He was afraid that he would also be dissatisfied with him, and then...
"Okay. But I need to take a rest. Akanekai is a bit heavy." He said this seriously, and it probably would only happen in a team like this.
There was no need to consider the feelings of the unconscious ninja.
Useless people are just trash in the team, they are a burden, they are things that do not need to be taken care of.
"Okay. There is a cave two thousand meters outside the gate of Konoha. Go there and rest for an hour, and then go on your way immediately."
"yes."
…
On the other side, inside the central tower.
The last team to arrive has had a full day's rest, and it's almost time to start the final assessment.
Singled out.
"Dear genin candidates, you have finally reached the threshold for promotion to chunin! In two hours, the daimyo from all over the world will arrive at Konoha's first training ground, and your one-on-one battle will take place there! Get ready.
Are you there? This is the entrance to a new beginning in your life, show your best!" Minato kept a gentle smile, his voice was a little flat but still encouraged the genin present.
For children, opportunities like this are always so attractive but seem out of reach.
When I actually walked in front of it, I felt more uneasy.
"The order in which you will appear will be determined by drawing lots from famous names from each country, which means you won't know who your opponent is until you appear on the stage." Before leaving the stage, Minato said this, and it covered the candidates like a dark cloud.
on top of head.
"Is this the way... Then will the people from the same village..." Akato was more thoughtful and thought of this issue directly. Indeed, if the ninjas in the same village fight, there will be less of a smell of gunpowder.
There is not much fun to watch, and naturally it will not be promoted to Chunin.
"Nothing like this will happen. Everyone will face ninjas from different villages to ensure that the competition is fair and just and fiercely competitive." Minato added in the audience, and then left collectively with his men.
.
The last two hours of rest time, after this point, will be a one-on-one battle without holding back at all.
"Yakumo, how are you?" Yu Ling just woke up and looked at Yakumo next to him with a little worry. A ninja like her who has no ability to protect herself at close range is really weak in one-on-one situations.
, you may lose if you are not careful.
This also limits the strength she can show. Whether she is promoted to Chunin or wins, it is a big challenge for her.
"Just like that...it doesn't matter, I can do it!" Yakumo said to Yu
Ling smiled and tried to dispel his worries.
But she also knew that there would never be a weak person who could survive the forest of death. If she encountered a melee master, there would probably be no hope of winning.
The opponent she most wanted to face was Deidara. Deidara had absolutely no chance of winning at mid-range distance.
But it all depends on luck. If she is unlucky and encounters Yunyin, any one of the three people will have an overwhelming advantage over her.
"Really? Then I'll be relieved. Anyway, if you can't beat me, your own safety is important, so just seize the opportunity and admit defeat." Yu Ling nodded thoughtfully, his mind running rapidly.
After going through all the possible situations, I came up with a universal countermeasure: surrender.
"Can you have some confidence in me! Am I that weak? Even if I can't fight in close combat, won't I keep my distance? Besides, is my illusion just a decoration?" Yakumo suddenly exploded, just like that
It is obvious that he looks down on her, and feels that she has no chance of winning, and even her life will be threatened in the assessment...
How can you, a pretty lady, endure such anger?
Such well-founded disparagement...
It makes sense, but it doesn't make sense. But it doesn't make sense, and it damages one's identity...
After saying these few words, I could only stare.
"Your illusion is not a decoration, but neither is other people's fighting power... Your illusion cannot control everyone. There will always be a way to break it." Yu Ling suddenly lost confidence when he said this, although Yakumo didn't have it yet.
I had used genjutsu on him, but before I just watched, a pair of Sharingan could still feel the energy contained in Yakumo's genjutsu, which was completely beyond my ability to resist.
Maybe there really is a way, but at least the current Yu Ling can't do it.
"You just don't think highly of me? Okay, then you can fight on your own! I'll watch the show! Okay?" Without saying anything, he immediately turned around and left in anger. The small body holding the drawing board shuttled among the candidates, looking at
It looks really pitiful and cute.
"I didn't say I don't like you... I just want you to be careful. It's good for you to be my teammate. I don't want to change teammates yet." Yu Ling pulled Yakumo, his tone was calm, as if he was saying
Just like when talking about business cooperation, it is completely rational and devoid of emotions.
"I see, I thought you had something serious to say. Forget it, I get it." Yakumo's heart was moved for a moment as his hand was held, waiting to be bombarded with sweet words.
As a result... all I got was the same instructions as usual.
With a black line on her forehead, she continued walking her way.
…
"I heard that the final candidates are only children from Konoha, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure."
"Indeed! I heard that there is an incredible genius in Konoha this year."
"Hmph, I think the three Iwagakure children are rare characters."
"They are all good kids until the end. Let's see how they perform before we speak."
"Yes, it should be... there are still five minutes left, and the drawing will begin."
"Oh, let's see what kind of arrangements we old guys can make for them!"
