Konoha's New Third Hokage

The second test of the Chunin Examination is the so-called Death Forest. This was originally a place created by Senju Hashirama using wood escape to practice.Because of the complexity of this forest, it was chosen as a suitable place for the Chunin Examination. After careful cultivation by the Inuzuka, Aburame 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 focused on the teamwork of the three-person team. Because the environment of the Death Forest is complex, even if the team is not very strong, if they have unique abilities and use them to their advantage, it is possible to make use of the unique environment of the Death Forest. Defeat a powerful group.

Of course, this is the first time that the Death Forest has been opened. Even Konoha ninjas, especially ninjas from other countries, don’t know what’s inside. Tobirama has issued a hush-hush order and no one is allowed to reveal the specific conditions of the Death Forest. One of the reasons is to ensure fairness. , and another reason is that he hopes that Konoha ninjas should also receive proper training.

Therefore, if you want to use the environment of the Death Forest, candidates must pay attention to observation and collect reports. Yes, the environment of the Death Forest is very suitable for the performance of ninjas. All the abilities that ninjas need to master can be applied. No matter what, the Chunin Exam is still One purpose is to screen Chunin.

After Hatake Sakumo and others entered the Death Forest, they moved forward quickly under Kazuya's guidance. Kazuya's white eyes could clearly observe what kind of dangerous creatures and poisonous insects were hidden nearby, allowing them to easily avoid them. This is A very big advantage. If it is a ninja's own ability, it's hard to blame Konoha Ninja Village for being unfair, right?

The requirement for the second test is to collect the two Earth Scrolls and bring them to the central tower. The group that passes the second test is divided into two parts, one group takes the Scroll, and the other group takes the Earth Scroll. What Hatake Sakumo and others got was the scroll.

The trees in the Death Forest are made of wood, and their height is far beyond ordinary trees. Fortunately, the land chosen by the Konoha Ninja Village is fertile and has a suitable climate, which can support the survival of such abnormal trees. If it were replaced by other The place may have dried up and died long ago. In a sense, the Death Forest can be regarded as a unique specialty of Konoha Ninja Village.

"What's going on? I haven't met anyone yet." Xiang Kazuya looked into the distance silently with his white eyes, but couldn't help but couldn't see anyone.

"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.

"Then it's really bad luck. We only have five hours." Xiang Kazuya muttered while observing attentively, and suddenly let out a soft "eh".

"What's wrong?" Hattori Heizo asked.

"No, it looks like we can finally stretch our muscles." He smiled at Kazuya, because a trio appeared in his white eyes. After hearing this, Hatake Sakumo and Hattori Heizou 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 Earthly Resentment Yu stolen by Kakuzu is a precious secret technique of Takigakure Ninja Village. During the Warring States Period, the ancestors of Takigakure Ninja Village relied on this secret technique to survive. After losing this secret technique, Takigakure... The hidden ninja village gradually declined.Fortunately, we got the Seven-Tails from the Land of Fire. Even if we paid a heavy price, the Seven-Tails would ensure that the Takigakure Ninja Village was second only to the five great Ninja Villages.

These Takigakure ninjas look extremely nervous and often look left and right. This is also the norm for non-sentient ninjas. Venomous insects and beasts are not objects to avoid for them. That is, they have to worry about other candidates and these natural phenomena. biology.

Xiang Kazuya used his Byakugan to observe and found that there were no strange traces of chakra. These people had not set any traps. The three of them looked at each other and Hatake Sakumo left the grass first and appeared behind Sanrao.After noticing the movement, the Takigakure ninja immediately turned around 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 protector worn by Hatake Sakumo, the three Takigakure ninjas felt a chill. As the victorious country in the Ninja World War, the power of Konoha Ninja Village impressed these countries, nominally second only to the five great ninjas. The Takigakure Ninja Village is actually maintained by the Seven-Tails Jinchuuriki, and the strength of the Ninja Village has long been inferior to what it used to be.

Hatake Sakumo felt that these people were a little overly nervous, like frightened birds, and he was slightly surprised. After all, they had come out of the Takigakure Ninja Village. No matter how weak they were, the carefully trained ninjas would not be like this, right?

It's really pitiful. I'd better send you away from here as soon as possible.

Hatake Sakumo thought to himself that although it was legal to send someone to die in the Death Forest, Hatake Sakumo tried his best not to do such a thing. He pulled out his short sword and pointed it at the Takigakure ninja, "We The Scroll of Yes, if you are the Scroll of Earth, hand over the scroll to avoid suffering."

"Who, who will hand it over?" shouted a Takigakure ninja.

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

The Takigakure ninja who spoke first screamed inwardly. Before he could turn around, he was hit hard on the back of the head. His eyes gradually darkened and he fell forward.Just when the Takigakure ninja fell and the other two people were attracted to their attention, Hatake Sakumo and Muka Kazuya also started to take action.

In an instant, he used thunder-type chakra to strengthen his body. Hatake Sakumo came directly in front of a Takigakure ninja. He put the short sword directly against the opponent's throat and gave a warning, making the Takigakure ninja let go of his hand and was about to pull out the kunai. He fell down again, and the last remaining Takigakure ninja was caught off guard and hit by Kazuya, losing consciousness.

The surrounded Takigakure ninja couldn't laugh or cry. He really wished that he was the two unconscious companions who fell 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 asked: "Where are your scrolls?"

"Scroll, the scroll is on him." Ninja Takigakure carefully pointed his finger at a person who fell on the ground, fearing that Hatake Sakumo would suddenly make a move.

Xiang Kazuya glanced at the person in Linshang, and then used his Byakugan to confirm that the chakra on the scroll was the same as the scroll he and others obtained, and came from Konoha, rather than being a disguised Takigakure ninja, and then he He took out the scroll and said, "It's true."

"Okay." Hatake Sakumo nodded and said, "Just take care of your two companions. If there is still a chance, you may be able to enter the third exam, but I think it is better for you to withdraw early."

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

Hatake Sakumo and others left here immediately. After getting the two scrolls, they did not need to hunt anymore. They only needed to go to the tower. I don’t know whether their current progress is fast or slow, but they don’t need to care too much. , anyway, if you get the scroll in Wuli, you will be qualified.

Not long after they left, three people rushed out of the jungle. The Takigakure ninja who was dragging his two companions saw the three people and let go of his hands in shock. The two companions unfortunately hit the ground, but he Ignoring this, he quickly said: "We no longer have the scroll, it was taken away by the ninjas of Konoha."

The person who said "What are you" was a red-haired boy wearing a forehead protector from the Sunagakure Ninja Village. He was Chiyo's son, named Liu.

"Be careful, these guys may not be telling the truth. Maybe they are just pretending to be attacked. In fact, the scroll is still on it." Another young man said.

Liu nodded slightly. For ninjas, acting is a skill that must be mastered. It can very well deceive the enemy and hide oneself. Especially those top ninjas who seem to have multiple personalities. You can transform yourself into someone else.

"I am serious" Takigakure shouted without tears.

"Liu, what they said must be true. There seems to be traces of other people coming here." A girl with brown hair looked at the ground.

"Well" Liubu looked at the ground carefully and said softly "Eh", "It's true. Could it be that it was really taken away by Konoha ninjas?"

"That's really annoying. These people were the prey we were targeting, but they were intercepted by the Konoha ninjas." The boy who had expressed doubts before was named Otoju.

"Ah, that's right, we 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?" Nezhong asked.

"Don't worry, I secretly left our village's secret medicine on that guy. It's invisible to 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.

"Ryu, could it be their Konoha ninja?" the brown-haired girl asked.

"I hope it's really them, Chizuru." Liu looked ahead. Even if he didn't see the shadow of the Konoha ninja, it seemed that he could see it in front of his eyes. "The one who once caused my mother to suffer setbacks, Fengmori Masaki." s student."

This time, the representative ninja of Sunagakure Ninja Village is Chiyo's younger brother Ebizo. Because he was worried that Chiyo, a straightforward person, would make everyone unhappy in Konoha, he asked the calm Ebizo to come.Although Chiyo was unwilling to do so, he could only accept Kazekage's order and just told his son that the student of Masaki Fengmori might also appear in the Chunin Exam. If he met them, he must let them out. , to avenge his mother.

Therefore, when taking the chunin exam, Ryu deliberately collected reports. Later, he learned that Hatake Sakumo was a student of Fengmori Masaki. The other Konoha ninjas were not his targets, but it was a pity that he had no sense. In this way, there is no chance to leave the secret medicine on Hatake Sakumo's body, otherwise he would have caught 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 almost catching up." Liu.

At this time, Hatake Sakumo and others were still on their way to the tower. Xiang Kazuya, who was still conducting reconnaissance, suddenly turned around and frowned slightly, "Someone is catching up. It seems that the target is us."

"What?" Hattori Heizo was a little surprised, "It seems that the Takigakure ninja revealed our whereabouts, otherwise he would not have come to us. Sakumo, your compassion has caused 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 Sunagakure Ninja Village." Xiang Kazuya.

"Sunagakure Ninja Village" Hatake Sakumo remembered that Masaki Fengmori had told them before the exam that one of the candidates in Sunagakure Ninja Village had a son who hated him, and the exam might be aimed at them to 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.
