Undercurrent of Konoha

Each group draws lots to determine the entrance numbers for three of its own people to enter the Forest of Death.

In order to show that the lottery process is fair and just, there is no secret operation, and the lottery results of each group are announced to the public.

Heiji's astonishing memory, comparable to that of the most powerful brain, came into play again. He easily imprinted in his mind the entrance numbers drawn for each group that needed special attention.

First of all, what needs special attention is the mysterious Kusakaku trio. They drew entrance No. 15.

Then came the Uzumaki Naruto group, who drew entrance number 12.

Gaara was in a group and the number 6 was drawn.

For Shikamaru's group, the number 27 was drawn.

Hyuga Neci was in a group and the number 41 was drawn.

The pharmacist pocketed a group and drew number 38.

The trio of sound ninjas drew number 20.

……

Heiji looked at the number plate in his hand and frowned slightly.

16 number.

Entrance No. 15 is next to the Kusakaku trio where Orochimaru is.

If Orochimaru first targets these three people as soon as he enters the examination venue, the situation will be very bad...

Heiji carefully analyzed in his mind the location of each group's entrance to the examination venue, and which groups were likely to encounter and conflict with each other first. A plan gradually became clear in his mind.

Under the leadership of a chuunin, Heiji and others came to entrance No. 16, quietly waiting for the time to enter the forest of death.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, with Mitarashi Anko’s command, the second trial of the Chuunin Examination officially began!

"White eyes! Open!"

As soon as he entered the examination venue, Hyuga Hinata followed Heiji's instructions, turned on the powerful detection function of the Byakugan, and turned his gaze to his right front.

"The Kusakaku trio went northwest...and didn't come to find us!"

Hearing the news, Heiji breathed a sigh of relief: "We will proceed in hiding as planned. We will first look for water sources and seize the time to replenish fresh water and food."

Miss Hinata's belly is originally a bottomless pit. Coupled with the increased physical exertion in the eyes-open state, the need for food and water is naturally greater.

"Improved sense of smell!"

Inuzuka Kiba also used his special ninjutsu, which instantly increased the sensitivity of his sense of smell to tens of thousands of times that of ordinary people.

"About 3 kilometers ahead, there is a strong smell of moss, and there should be a river nearby. You can also smell the fishy smell of wild beasts along the way, which can be captured for food... Huh? Heiji... The smell of sweat on your body is a bit strong, why? Sweating so much?"

Heiji naturally couldn't tell Inuzuka Kiba and Hinata Hinata because of the cold sweat.

The name Orochimaru is enough to turn any crying child into a quiet angel baby in Konoha Village.

If the two of them find out that they are competing against the legendary Orochimaru, God knows what unexpected things will happen.

The three people sometimes spread their hands backwards and sprinted in one direction at full speed.

Sometimes he stops and hides his figure behind the tall tree trunks. After a while, several ninjas jumped quickly from the treetops overhead.

With the help of investigative capabilities comparable to cheating, Heiji and others were like a team of three transparent people, sneaking through the forest of death, as if they were strolling in the backyard of their own home, without any sense of interference from other people. Team interference.

Several buckets the size of water tanks were filled with clear and sweet river water, and then put into the storage scroll.

Five adult sika deer were drinking water by the river when they were suddenly shot through the neck with a shuriken and fell to the ground dead.

The shuriken skillfully cut through the deer's hide and cut off large chunks of the meat.

The sky gradually darkened, and after confirming that the surrounding area was absolutely safe, a blazing bonfire was lit.

Dinner was roast venison.

The venison was cut into smaller pieces, skewered on branches, and placed next to the campfire, sizzling with oil.

Heiji and Inuzuka Kiba were full quickly, but their hands were not idle, they were still roasting the venison tirelessly.

They must roast all the venison in the shortest time and then put it into the storage scroll.

Under the light of the fire, Hinata Hinata's fair face was slightly flushed, and she kept saying words of thanks: "Thank you... It's all my fault... I caused you trouble..."

In just one dinner, half of the deer was eaten by three people.

Heiji and Inuzuka ate about one-tenth of the portion with their teeth together, and Miss Hinata took care of the rest...

Akamaru, on the other hand, was keen on fresh and chewy deer bones and had no interest in roasted venison.

For a ninja dog, it must gnaw on the freshest and toughest bones every day as it grows, so that its muscles and bones can become stronger and its teeth can become sharper.

Soft cooked meat is like poison to Akamaru.

Akamaru stayed vigil at night, and the three of them had a good sleep.

After waking up in the morning, I took out the steaming meat skewers from the storage scroll, like freshly baked meat skewers, ate it happily, and then drank a full stomach of water.

A wonderful day is about to begin again.

After half a day and a night, three teams have been eliminated.

The reason for being eliminated, without exception, is collective death!

The bodies of three genin from one of the teams disappeared without a trace, as if they had been swallowed by something big.

Looking at the broken flowers and branches due to the fierce fighting and the bloody death scene, Heiji's heart brightened.

These are all the masterpieces of Orochimaru!

Suddenly, a strange feeling hit Heiji's heart.

My vision suddenly became blurry, accompanied by a terrible headache.

Heiji gasped for air, quickly calming down, and his vision gradually returned to a clear state.

At this time, a picture flashed through his mind quickly like a movie.

Beads of sweat quickly condensed on his forehead. After only a moment of hesitation, Heiji said resolutely: "Southwest, 5 kilometers away, move forward at full speed!"

Hinata Hinata and Kiba Inuzuka both looked puzzled, because their detection coverage was only about 3 kilometers away. How could Heiji know what was happening 5 kilometers away?

"I'll explain to you later... If it's a little later, it'll be too late!"

Heiji bent his legs slightly, jumped up to the treetops, and spread his arms backwards, like a slightly immature eagle, flying quickly over the treetops one after another.

"The four-legged technique!"

The running speed Heiji showed was far beyond the capabilities of Inuzuka Kiba and Hinata Hinata.

Putting Hinata on his back, Inuzuka Kiba grabbed the ground with all four legs like a wild animal and started running at full speed on the ground.

At this moment, Inuzuka Kiba's running speed was almost three times that of his normal state.

Even so, he could only see a group of black shadows jumping rapidly in front of his head from a distance, and the distance became farther and farther...
