Konoha’s New Third Hokage

The second part of the Chunin Exam is the so-called Forest of Death, which was originally made by Senju Hashirama using a wooden escape and used for practicing. Because of the intricate nature of this forest, it was chosen by everyone as a suitable place for the Zhongnin Exam. After careful cultivation by Inuzuka, Yuu and other families, it has become a place where poisonous insects and beasts live, and the danger is extremely high.

Because of this, it can be regarded as a testing place for training ninja abilities. Compared with the complicated battlefield, the death forest only needs to face the creatures in nature, which is already considered simple. Because of the possibility of facing death, Konoha Ninja Village asked candidates to sign a voluntary form to ensure that the other party was willing to accept this condition before entering the death forest.

Every country attaches great importance to the joint Chunin exam, and the ninjas they sent were already prepared to die. Therefore, they signed their names without fear, and entered the forest of death under the guidance of the examiner.

The second exam focuses on the teamwork of the three-person team, because the environment of the death forest is intricate, even if the team is not very strong, if it has a unique ability and uses it, it is possible to take advantage of the unique environment of the death forest. Defeat the powerful group.

Of course, the Death Forest is open for the first time, not to mention the ninjas from other countries, even the Konoha ninjas don’t know what’s in it. Tobima has issued a password, and no one is allowed to reveal the specific situation of the Death Forest. There is one reason. To ensure fairness, another reason is that he hopes that Konoha Ninja will also get proper exercise.

Therefore, if you want to use the environment of the death forest, candidates must pay attention to observation and collect information. It can be said that the environment of the death forest is very suitable for ninjas to play, and all the abilities that ninjas need to master can be applied. Another purpose of the exam is to screen out Chunin.

After Hatake Sakumo and others entered the Death Forest, they advanced quickly under the guidance of Hyuga Kazuya. Hyuga Kazuya's white eyes could clearly observe what kind of dangerous creatures and poisonous insects were hidden nearby, so that they could easily avoid them. This is A very big advantage, if it is the ninja's own ability, it is not easy to blame Konoha Ninja Village for being unfair, isn't it?

The requirement for the second exam is to gather the two scrolls of heaven and earth and bring them to the central tower. The group that passed the second exam is divided into two parts, one part takes the scroll of heaven and the other part takes the scroll of earth , and Hatake Sakumo and others got the Sky Scroll.

The trees in the Death Forest are made by Mutun, and they are much taller than ordinary trees. Fortunately, the land chosen by Konoha Ninja Village is fertile and the climate is suitable, which can support the survival of this abnormal tree. The place may have dried up and died a long time ago. In a sense, the death forest can be regarded as a unique specialty of Konoha Ninja Village.

"What's the matter, haven't met anyone yet?" Hinata Kazuya silently observed the distance with white eyes, but still couldn't see a figure, so he couldn't help but say.

"Is it because the place we came in is relatively remote, and other candidates are going to other places." Hatake Sakumo thought for a while and guessed.

"That's really bad luck, we only have five days." Hinata Kazuya muttered and observed intently, and suddenly let out a soft "Huh".

"What's wrong?" Hattori Heizo asked.

"No, it looks like we can finally exercise our muscles and bones." Hinata Kazuya smiled, because a three-person group appeared in his eyes. Hearing this, Hatake Sakumo and Hattori Heizo looked at each other, and then lightly Nod lightly.

The three of them jumped and ran among the treetops, barely making a sound, and fell silently into the grass behind those people. The other party seems to be the examinee of Takigakure Ninja Village. The country of Taki is the only country besides the five major countries that knows the tail beast. You can imagine the power of this country. Hatake Sakumo and Hattori Heizo are because Kakuzu used to be Taki The people of Hidden Ninja Village also know something about it.

The land resentment stolen by Kadotsu is a precious secret technique of Takiyin Ninja Village. During the Warring States period,

The ancestors of Longyin Ninja Village relied on this secret technique to survive, and after losing this secret, Longyin Ninja Village gradually weakened. Fortunately, Nanao was obtained from the Fire Nation, even if they paid a considerable price, relying on Nanao can guarantee the status of Takigakure Ninja Village second only to the Five Great Ninja Villages.

These Takigakure ninjas look extremely nervous and often look left and right. This is also the normal state of the group without perception ninjas. Poisonous insects and beasts are not something to avoid for them. That is to say, they have to be careful when they are worried about other candidates. these natural creatures.

Kazuya Hyuga observed with his supercilious eyes, and found that there were no unusual traces of Chakra. These people did not set any traps. The three of them looked at each other, and Sakumo Hatake left the bushes first and appeared behind the three of them. Noticing the movement behind him, Takigakure Ninja immediately turned his head and saw that only one person appeared in front of him. He was still nervous. No one knew where his two companions were, and...

Looking at the forehead guard worn by Sakumo Hatake, the three Takigakure ninjas felt a chill. As the victorious country in the ninja world war, the strength of Konoha Ninja Village impressed these small countries, and it was only second to the five major ninjas in name. The Takigakure Ninja Village in the village is actually maintained by Nanao Jinchuriki, and the strength of the Ninja Village has long been inferior to before.

Hatake Sakumo felt that these people were a little overly nervous, as if they were frightened, and he was a little surprised. After all, they were born in Takigakure Ninja Village. No matter how weak they were, they wouldn't look like the carefully trained ninjas, right?

——It’s really pitiful, I’d better send you out of here sooner.

Hatake Sakumo thought to himself, although it is legal to send the opponent to death in the death forest, Hatake Sakumo tried not to do such a thing as much as possible, pulled out the short knife, pointed at Takigakure Ninja, and said: " Ours is the scroll of the sky, if you are the scroll of the earth, hand over the scroll and avoid suffering."

"Who, who will hand it over!" a Takiin ninja shouted.

"So, your scroll is really the Scroll of Earth." Just after the Takigakure ninja called out, a voice sounded from behind him.

The ninja Takigakure who spoke first yelled that it was not good, and before he could turn around, he was hit hard on the back of the head, his eyes gradually darkened, and he fell forward. Just as the Takigakure ninja fell, the other two were attracted attention, and Hatake Sakumo and Hyuga Kazuya also started to act.

In an instant, he used the thunder attribute chakra to strengthen his physical activity. Hatake Sakumo came directly in front of a Takigakure ninja, and put his short knife directly against the opponent's throat. He gave a warning and asked the Takigakure ninja to let go, and the kunai who was about to draw out It fell again, and the last remaining ninja, Takigakure, was caught off guard by Kazuya Hinata and lost consciousness.

The surrounded Takigakure ninja couldn't laugh or cry, he really wished that he was the two companions who fell unconscious on the ground, and didn't have to bear the gaze of the three Konoha ninjas, he heard the silver-haired boy who came out first ask: "Where is your scroll? "

"Scroll, the scroll is on him." Takigakure Ninja cautiously tapped a person who was lying on the ground, fearing that Hatake Sakumo would suddenly make a move.

Hinata Kazuya glanced at the person on the ground, and then used his white eyes to confirm that the chakra on the scroll was from Konoha, and not the disguise of Takigakure ninja, and sent the chakra on the scroll to the ground. He took out the scroll and said, "It's true."

"Okay." Hatake Sakumo nodded and said, "Just take care of your two companions. If you still have the chance, you might be able to enter the third exam, but I think it's better for you to quit early. "

"You're right." Takigakure Ninja smiled wryly.

Hatake Sakumo and the others left here immediately. After getting the two scrolls, they don't need to go hunting anymore, they just need to go to the tower. I don't know if their progress is fast or slow, but they don't need to care too much. , anyway, if you get the scroll within five days, you are considered qualified.

Not long after they left, three people rushed out of the jungle. Takigakure Ninja, who was dragging his two companions, saw these three people, and let go of his hands in shock. The two companions hit the ground unluckily, but he Regardless of this, he quickly said: "We don't have any scrolls anymore, they were snatched by Konoha's ninja."

"What did you say?" The one who spoke was a red-haired boy, wearing the forehead protector of Sagan Ninja Village, who was Chiyo's son, named Liu.

"Be careful, these guys may not be telling the truth, maybe they are just pretending that they were attacked, but in fact the scroll is still on them." Another boy said.

Liu nodded slightly. For ninjas, acting is a skill that must be mastered. It can play a very good role in deceiving the enemy and hiding their own intelligence, especially those top intelligence ninjas. They seem to have multiple personalities. It is possible to transform oneself into a real other person.

"I'm serious!" Takigakure Ninja shouted wanting to cry without tears.

"Liu, what they said should be true, it seems that there are indeed traces of other people coming here." A brown-haired girl looked at the ground and said.

"Huh?" Liu couldn't help but looked carefully at the ground, said "Huh" lightly, and said, "Really, could it be that it was really taken away by the Konoha ninja?"

"That's really annoying. These people are our prey, but they were cut off by the Konoha ninja." The boy who expressed doubts before said, his name is Yin Zhong.

"Ah, that's right, you can't let them go easily." Liu then asked the Takigakure ninja, "Where did those Konoha ninjas go?"

"Over there, over there." Takigakure Ninja immediately pointed out the direction where Hatake Sakumo and the others left. He didn't intend to hide it from Konoha Ninja who made him out.

"I hope you don't lie to us." After Liu warned, he rushed in that direction with the others. Seeing the three plague gods leave, Takigakure sat on the ground exhausted and let out a long breath.

"Liu, what if that guy is really lying to us?" Yin Zhong asked.

"Don't worry, I secretly left our village's secret medicine on that guy, which cannot be smelled by ordinary people. Only some creatures in our village can smell it. With it, we can easily find this guy." Liu smiled lightly.

Yinzhong smiled knowingly, if the other party is really cheating, don't think that you can go back safely, the ninja's methods are cruel, beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"Liu, the Konoha ninja they are talking about, could it be..." the brown-haired girl asked.

"I hope it's really them, Chizuru." Liu looked forward, even if he didn't see Konoha Ninja figure, he seemed to be able to see it, "The one who made mother suffer setbacks, Masaki Kazemori s student."

This time, the representative ninja of Sagan Ninja Village is Chiyo's younger brother Ebizo, and because he was worried that Chiyo, a straightforward person, would make everyone unhappy in Konoha, he asked the calm and calm Ebizo to come. Although Chiyo was not reconciled, he could only accept Kazekage's order, and just told his son that Masaki Kazemori's student might also appear in the Chunin exam, and if he met them, he must be eliminated , to avenge his mother.

Therefore, when taking the Chunin Exam, Ru deliberately collected information, and later learned that Hatake Sakumo's group was a student of Kazemori Masaki, and the other Konoha ninjas were not his target, but unfortunately he didn't have any perception There is no chance to leave the secret medicine on Hatake Sakumo's body, otherwise he would catch up with Hatake Sakumo's team early.

The three of the sand ninjas jumped between the treetops quickly, because the trade between the land of fire and the valley of the wind promotes economic development, and the daimyo's support for the sand ninja village is not so great, because the funds are insufficient all the year round, the sand ninja village can only Adopting elite training, the three of them are young heroes, even though the traces left by Hatake Sakumo and others are very slight, they still noticed them.

"We're about to catch up," Liu said.

At this moment, Hatake Sakumo and the others were still on their way to the tower, and Hyuga Kazuya, who was still maintaining his reconnaissance, suddenly turned his head, frowned slightly, and said, "Someone is catching up, and it seems that the target is us."

"What?" Hattori Heizo was a little surprised, and said, "It seems that the Takigakure ninja revealed our whereabouts, otherwise it would be impossible to come after us, Sakumo, your compassion has brought us trouble."

"Indeed, maybe he should be stunned." Hatake Sakumo felt that if everyone lost consciousness in the death forest, they might be attacked by passing creatures, so he kept the remaining person awake. Now it seems , might as well knock them all out, and then send them to a safe tree hole to stay.

"Who is the other party, Kazuya?" Hatake Sakumo asked.

"It should be someone from Sand Yin Ninja Village." Hinata Kazuya said.

"Sagan Ninja Village?" Hatake Sakumo recalled that before the exam, Feng Mori Masaki told them that there was a son of someone who hated him among the candidates in Sagan Ninja Village, and the exam might be aimed at them. Be careful.

"This should be the grievances of the previous generation. Enemies have a narrow road, so let's split up a result here." Hatake Sakumo thought to himself.
