Konoha starts with a young bird

Chapter 342 The Fourth Team
"Have you thought about the venue in advance?"

Intelligence competition and protection, unlike other competitions, has strict requirements on the venue.In the past, it was carried out in the dense forest of the back mountain.

Hongdou shook her head lightly, her character is more open-minded, unlike Yibixi who does detailed research and preparations between tasks.

"Death forest!"

Four words popped out of Zhou Lai's mouth lightly, but these four words made Hong Dou look at the examiner opposite in shock.The shortness of breath, as if this is some kind of plague devil, makes people retreat far away.The color of the smell changes.

Of course, this is not particularly scary compared to the elite Chunin and Jonin.

But for the ninja, it is not something that can be easily dealt with. Coupled with the competition between the teams, the difficulty factor of this second game will far exceed the previous ninja exam.

The reason why the Death Forest is called the Death Forest is not only because of the beasts and terrain in it, there is a creature in it that even the elite Chunin find difficult to deal with, called the Death Crow.

Naturally carnivorous, one or two crows may not be a problem, but this kind of crows always go out to hunt in groups. Facing such a terrifying number, ordinary ninjas cannot handle it at all.

Not to mention that there are still ninjas who have not participated in many combat missions in this class and have just graduated.

There are also swamps inside, big snakes, and centipedes, all of which are more than two meters in size.

"Choose in the Forest of Death, right?"

Hongdou hesitated to speak.

"What do you think, Ibixi?"

Zhou Lai didn't answer Hongdou's words immediately, but turned to look at Yibixi who was expressionless beside him.

Yibixi thought for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"I don't think there is a problem with Hayate's words. For this Zhongnin exam, we Konoha have 87 people participating, plus 30 elites from Kaze Ninja Village, and other ninjas from the affiliated Xiaonin Village. There are a total of 150 people in this exam. The number of participants far exceeds the previous Chunin exams.

If we still follow the usual elimination mechanism, it will be difficult to screen out about 20 people in the second round, which will greatly increase the scale of the group arena and extend the examination time to an unacceptable level for us and other ninja villages.

Although the death forest has a high risk factor, as long as we clean the number of beasts inside before the exam, the death rate of this exam can be reduced.
Relying on the elusive terrain of the death forest, robbing each other, and the beasts we deliberately left behind, we can not only achieve the number we want, but also complete our assessment of their own quality this time. "

After Yibixi finished speaking, Zhou Lai slowly raised the teacup in his hand.

Yibixi was taken aback for a moment, but then she understood, and also picked up the teacup in her hand and touched Zhou Lai lightly.

"Heroes see the same thing!"

A rare smile appeared on Yibixi's unchanged expression for thousands of years.

"The next thing is a very ordinary group arena, you can just leave it to me. As for the matter of cleaning up the beasts in the dead forest, I will hand it over to Anbu before the start of the game."

Zhou Lai nodded towards Hongdou.It means that I have already dealt with the matter for you, and you just need to stand at the finish line and watch them compete.

Hong Dou also happily bit off the ball in his hand, and smirked at Zhou Lai.

Next, they discussed the details of the game in detail, and they left near noon.

The next period of time is the time for them to set up the test room and solve the problems that arise before the test.

"Report to the captain! Assassinate the fourth unit of the Special Forces, come and report!"

A group of ninjas in gray and white combat uniforms stood in a row, with a mask with shark patterns at the head.

The voice was passionate and shocking.

"Okay, okay, keep your voice down, my tavern is in front of you, scare away customers and make up for the wine."

Zhou Lai leaned forward on a long table, with the intoxicating aroma swaying in his hands.

These are all his old departments in Anbu, and the small captains and vice-captains behind him were all single-handedly promoted by him.

That is, Hokage has not yet appointed the captain of the fourth unit, and Qingcheng will be managed as the temporary captain for the time being. However, as a non-professional combatant, Qingcheng will naturally not be the captain.

At that time, according to the inherent mechanism of the Anbu, the next Anbu captain was very likely to come from among them.

Looking at it now, Qingcheng already has his own candidate, the guy in front of him wearing a shark pattern mask,

He was also the vice-captain under Zhou Lai before, code-named Shark!
"Okay, boss. Hehe."

Shark is very aware of his former boss' temper, and he doesn't have much airs as a captain at all.
When he received the third-generation transfer order, he was still a little unhappy.The fourth unit is specialized in assassination operations outside the village and inside the village, but now it has been notified by Anbu that it will take over the internal order maintenance work of the second unit.

The heavy task made Shark feel a little unhappy, but he got some exciting news from Qingcheng.

"Here! This is the mission, let the person on the scroll tell you the specific order."

Qingcheng threw a scroll to the shark, which was about the specific layout of the Chunin exam, which Zhou Lai had just submitted this morning.

There is this one, the name of Moonlight Gale, in the place where it was signed.

"Moonlight blast?"

Shark looked puzzled and looked at Qingcheng.

According to the usual practice, Anbu directly obeys the command of Hokage and will not follow any orders from others.

"Oh, so you don't know."

Facing Shark's puzzled gaze, Qing Cheng patted his forehead and remembered something.

The real names of Anbu members are kept absolutely confidential to the outside world, but there are no such strict regulations internally, but they still follow the practice that subordinates have no authority to know the specific information of their superiors.

Shark is also a rising star of the fourth team. Although relying on his own potential, Zhou Lai single-handedly promoted him from his membership, but he is still at a loss as to Zhou Lai's true identity.

"According to this time, he should be basking in the sun somewhere, but you'd better go to the izakaya on Zhongchang Street first. Where should he be?"

"Izakaya?"

"Are there any other izakayas on Nakacho Street!"

Qing Cheng looked at the still bewildered shark with disappointment, his expression full of helplessness.

Probably the guy who has no sense of spending money can open an izakaya on such expensive land.

Thinking about the turnover at the beginning, Qing Cheng has a face full of pain for Zhou Lai, it must be how many tasks I do to earn it back!
It's just that first-line ninjas like them make a lot of money!
