People are in Konoha, the start level is full

"Sorry, but I also have to protect my companions."

Looking at the middle-aged Yu Ninja whose pupils were gradually blurring, Naoki sighed inwardly and took out the kunai.

This was the first person to die due to the cooperation between him and Ayan's illusion technique "The Art of Here and Not".

The tactics developed during the last exercise worked well for the first time.

However, before the rope tree could breathe a sigh of relief, he felt an evil wind blowing around him.

Turning his head to look, he saw several poisoned shurikens flying towards him, approaching him.

He quickly used kunai to knock down these shurikens, and then fought with another rain ninja who flew over.

On the other side, a young black-haired rain ninja stood calmly on the treetops, looking down and observing the situation.

After noticing that his companion died due to an obvious mistake, he looked at Kurama Yan who was maintaining the seal.

"Is it that kid's illusion?"

He silently guessed in his mind, then took out several thin needles quenched with poison and threw them in the direction of Kurama Yan.

"Ok?"

Kurama Yan looked over there and calmly waved a palm, and the air flow from the wind immediately blew away all the Thousand Thousand Needles that came towards him.

At the same time, there was a puddle at his feet behind him.

"Water Instant"

Using drizzle and stagnant water as the medium, the young rain ninja performed this advanced teleportation technique and suddenly appeared behind Kuramahiko, pulled out a kunai and slashed at Kuramahiko's neck.

"clang"

A tachi was inserted between him and Kurama Yan, blocking the blow.

Uchiha Mikoto held the handle of the tachi with both hands, and the magatama slowly rotated in her scarlet sharingan eyes.

"This time, I will protect Ayan."

Her eyes were firm, she shouted low, and used all her strength with her hands to push the rain ninja back.

"They're quite capable of what they do, these little brats."

The rain ninja took advantage of the situation and took a few steps back, casually throwing away the kunai and forming several seals with his hands.

As long as he uses the ninjutsu he is good at, then the few brats in front of him who are not even chuunin will naturally be no problem.

At this time, Uchiha Mikoto moved her fingers slightly, pulling a tiny silk thread.

"bang"

With a loud noise, Yu Ren was caught off guard and was affected by the explosion of the detonating talisman placed in advance under his feet.

"Success."

Just when Uchiha Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief, the rain ninja who was supposed to die turned into a ball of water.

"Are you hydrated?"

She looked sternly and looked around the battlefield while she was free. Only then did she realize that many rain ninjas had turned into water splashes after being defeated by their companions, and there were not many rain ninjas who were actually lying dead.

"Captain Orochimaru and a dozen enemy ninjas are hiding behind the boulders in front."

The ninja of the Inuzuka family raised his nose and pointed forward and reminded loudly.

"That's it."

Orochimaru's vertical pupils flickered slightly, and he gradually retracted his arm that transformed into a snake body.

In front of him, a purple-faced Yu Nin stopped struggling and fell to the ground helplessly.

"Pursue."

After thinking briefly, Orochimaru gave this order.

With his skimming formation, these ambush rain ninjas couldn't make any waves.

This is Orochimaru's confidence.

"Yes!"

The Konoha ninjas who had already dealt with their opponents responded one after another, and then quickly passed by Orochimaru's side and rushed forward.

"Maybe this is the time. Anyway, it's better to remind Nao Shu to be careful."

Kuramayan shot dozens of chakra detection waves forward, and the rain ninjas who were ambushing behind the boulders fell into a "dominance state". After ensuring that these rain ninjas would not cause any trouble, he held down the man who had just left him. Rope tree passing by.

"What's wrong?" Shengshu stopped and looked at his teammates who stopped him with some doubts.

Kurama Yan adjusted his glasses and reminded: "Rose Tree, it is better to use the shadow clone to explore the way first."

"is this necessary?"

Naoki scratched his hair, and it was hard for him to understand Kuramahiko's caution.

But after thinking about it, Ayan also had good intentions, and he decided to follow this suggestion.

"The Art of Shadow Clone"

Along with a large amount of smoke, more than ten shadow clones appeared around the rope tree. Immediately, the eager rope tree called the shadow clone to rush forward with him.

The companion who rushed there first had already fought with the enemy ninjas who had jumped down from the boulder. He didn't want to be called a coward.

"When I blocked Rope Tree before, others had already rushed over, and we were at the back of the queue. And with the cover of so many shadow clones, Rope Tree would definitely not step into the trap of the detonating talisman again this time. "

Thinking like this, Kurama Yan calmed down a little. After looking at Mikoto next to him, he also rushed forward with the rope tree.

"The Rope Tree has a good momentum!"

Orochimaru stood there, looking at the rope tree and his shadow clones passing by him, and smiled happily.

From the beginning, he had been paying attention to the battle over there.

By cooperating with Kurama Yan's simple illusion technique, Naoki killed the first rain ninja without any delay, and later cooperated with other companions to kill another rain ninja.

Compared with Naoki when he first became a genin, he now has the strength to act as a chunin, and his ability to cooperate in combat and adaptability have been greatly improved.

With such obvious progress, he could also explain to Tsunade.

But before Orochimaru could finish his thoughts.

"boom"

A huge roar sounded from ahead.

Kurama Yan and Uchiha Mikoto have been following Naoki and his army of shadow clones.

At this time, a body that was blown beyond recognition was raised high due to the shock wave of the explosion and landed at their feet.

The shadow clones of Rope Tree also turned into clouds of smoke and disappeared instantly due to the death of the main body.

"jingle"

A delicate pendant with a broken thread crossed a sad parabola and landed at Orochimaru's feet, splashing faint water.

"Rope tree..."

Orochimaru's eyes widened, looking at everything in front of him in disbelief.

……

"how come……"

Uchiha Mikoto trembled and covered her mouth, looking down at the broken corpse at her feet whose face could not be seen clearly. She didn't even notice at all that the double magatama shape had quietly appeared in her bloodshot pupils.

Of course, she also knows the qualities of being a ninja. No matter if her teammates die in front of her or she is facing a desperate situation where she cannot survive, she must not lose her calm.

But at this time, Mikoto is just a 12-year-old girl after all.

In a short period of time, she was still unable to accept the fact that her best friend who had been with her day and night had died like this.

And Kurama Yan stood there blankly, looking down at the corpse of the rope tree at his feet, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

"What happened next?"

Shiranui Gyōma, who is connected with the short blade of the master of the rain ninja side, is the vice-captain of the Konoha ninja alliance and the only jounin of this alliance.

Hearing the huge explosion behind him, he turned his head and looked behind him after forcing the enemy back.
