Konoha's Shiranui Genma

Chapter 59 Death Forest
The Kikyo Castle that Shizune mentioned is a famous ancient city, located near the Kikyo Mountain on the western border of the Kingdom of Fire. It was first built hundreds of years ago and has witnessed many wars, large and small.

It has been destroyed and rebuilt several times, and it has been glorious for more than a hundred years, and it has existed for a hundred years in the form of ruins.

From the Land of Winds to the Land of Rivers and then to the Land of Fire, Kikyo Castle has been repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt, but also experienced many twists and turns.

The current one was built before the establishment of Konoha, and it belongs to the territory of the Fire Country. It has a history of nearly a hundred years, but it has become dilapidated after two Ninja Wars.

The Kingdom of Fire originally planned to restore this ancient city, but due to various reasons, it has not been put into action.

After eating ramen, I said goodbye to Shizune. In the afternoon, Shiranui Genma joined Akai and Ebisu and came to the death forest located in the northeast of Konoha Village.

The Death Forest, also known as the No. 44 training ground, is a dense forest with a radius of ten kilometers surrounded by iron nets and high walls, with a total of 44 locked entrances.

From the vicinity of the entrance, you can occasionally see various beasts moving in it.

Compared with ordinary beasts, the beasts in the dead forest are obviously much larger.For beasts, size determines strength, so there is no doubt that the beasts here are far stronger than ordinary beasts in the forest outside the village.

In fact, many beasts in the Death Forest are fully capable of killing a single Genin.Such examples have occurred in the past.

Since the test questions are generally quite satisfactory, most of the ninja passed the written test, so the number of people in the second test is still relatively large.

In addition, it was the only Chunin exam this year, so by two o'clock in the afternoon, when all the candidates gathered near the main entrances of the Death Forest, there were crowds of people and discussions, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

"Xiao Shou, how is your illusion practice?" While chatting, Shiranui Xuanjian asked.

Hearing this, Ebisu showed a look of eagerness, and said with a smile, "I'll show you."

As he spoke, he formed a seal with both hands, and the seal was completed.

Shiranui Xuanjian blinked, and then saw the scene in front of him suddenly swaying and spinning, like swinging on a swing, which made people faintly dizzy.

In contrast, Akai's symptoms were much more obvious. He was staggering and staggering, as if he was trying to stabilize his body on a bumpy boat.

If it wasn't for his nimble movements, he might have already fallen to the ground.

Gathering his mind, Shiranui Xuanma focused on observing the phantom in front of him.

So in just a few breaths, the faint sense of dizziness caused by these shaking and spinning scenes disappeared from his mind.

Seeing that Shiranui Genma seemed to be okay, Ebisu couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Genma, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Shiranui Genma nodded.

The key to the effect of illusion lies in the comparison of the spiritual power of the caster and the castee. He has been a human being for two lifetimes, and his mental power is far beyond the reach of human beings. Ebisu is only a beginner in illusion, so naturally it will not have much impact on him.

Although he had expected that Shiranui Genma's resistance to illusions would be much higher than Akai's, but seeing him so calm, Ebisu still couldn't help showing a frustrated look.

"Stop! Stop!" Akai shouted again and again as his symptoms continued.

Ebisu lifted the illusion, and he was finally able to stand still.

"Illusion is so powerful." Akai sighed in relief.

"I've only learned illusion for a month, and the effect is so good...it should be mainly because of your problem." Ebisu coughed twice.

Akai: "..."

"Oh, if only I had a Sharingan, so that I can use the illusion to get twice the result with half the effort." Ebisu said with emotion.

Shiranui Genma asked, "Why not a pair?"

"Another supercilious eye! A see-through eye." Ebisu's expression suddenly became coquettish, with hehehe written all over his face.

……

02:30 in the afternoon.

The examiners in charge of the second exam showed up one after another, and the atmosphere outside the death forest suddenly became tense.

"The second exam is about to start. The content of the exam is the battle for scrolls. The exam room is the 44th practice field, which is the death forest in front of you."

"Each test team will get a scroll of "Book of Heaven" or a scroll of "Book of Earth" later, and then enter the death forest to compete with other teams. "The examiner said solemnly with his hands behind his back.

"...The exam time is 120 hours, that is, five days. Within five days, the group must collect the two scrolls of "Book of Heaven" and "Book of Earth" and rush to the tower in the center of the 44 practice field to pass. "

After a pause, the examiner said again: "In the wartime Chunin exam, killing is strictly prohibited. Once found, no matter whether the killing is completed or not, they will be severely punished!"

As soon as the words fell, someone whispered: "How did you find this?"

"During the entire exam, there will be examiners patrolling the exam room to monitor the candidates' behavior. I hope you will not be impulsive." The chief examiner said.

"In addition, this exam allows you to quit midway. If you lose your combat ability, leave the exam room directly, or explain to the patrolling examiner, you can quit the exam. After you quit the exam, the scroll will be left in the exam room."

In general, the rules of this exam are similar to what Genma Shiranui learned, but the danger of life is greatly reduced.

After all, during the war, even if it is cannon fodder, one more is excellent.

"...It is strictly forbidden to open the scroll before reaching the tower!"

After introducing the exam rules, the chief examiner said immediately: "Candidates at the same entrance all get the same scrolls, so you don't have to start fighting as soon as you enter the practice field."

"Now, you can go over there to get the scroll and the entrance pass." As he spoke, he pointed to two examiners sitting not far away.

"Let's go."

Akai and Ebisu nodded, and the three of them walked over with all the candidates, and lined up to receive their scrolls and entrance passes.

Book of Heaven, entrance 17!
The three received a scroll of the Book of Heaven and a pass for entrance 17.

After a while, after all the candidates got the scrolls and passes and stood in front of their respective entrances, the chief examiner looked at the time and said:

"The exam begins, enter immediately!"

As soon as the words fell, all the candidates rushed into the death forest, and in a blink of an eye, only the examiner was left outside.

Entering the death forest, each group kept a certain distance tacitly, some moved forward in a straight line, while others ran to both sides.

"Xuanjian, how should we grab the "Book of Earth"? "Akai asked.

Shiranui Xuanma hardly thought about it: "Go straight ahead, wait on the sidelines, and wait near the tower."

The strength of the three of them is undoubtedly higher than that of most of the test groups, and there is no life-threatening danger in this test. It is naturally the best choice to sit back and wait for work, which can save a lot of trouble in searching.
