Konoha's strongest bug

After three days of non-stop trekking, the examinees who arrived at the Fengmo Desert Listening Station were exhausted.

But their efforts paid off.

Those candidates who arrived one step later were stopped by Sarutobi Asma and Hong outside the Fumo listening station.

"Unfortunately, that's the end of it for you!" Yuhi Hong said lightly.

Sarutobi Asuma also said: "The candidates who arrived late will be eliminated. The candidates in Konoha will return to the village, and the candidates in other villages will be dismissed on the spot!"

Hearing this, several candidates showed expressions of resentment.

"Why, are we running for nothing these three days?"

"Yeah, we didn't tell us to eliminate until we arrived!"

"Just letting us go back like this is too much."

Hearing their words, Yuhihong spoke again.

"You guys, if you complain when something like this happens, you may be glad that you were eliminated!"

"Yes!"

Sarutobi Asuma also nodded at this time, then turned to look in the direction of the Fuma listening post.

"Because the front is likely to be a hell with no return!"

"..."

……

For the candidates who rushed to the Fengmo listening station, they didn't know what happened outside.

Under the arrangement of the ninjas of Sand Hidden Village, they entered the room where their respective teams were located to rest.

Until night came, the sound of a radio broadcast reached their ears.

"Dinner is ready. Candidates please go to the cafeteria!"

After hearing the sound of the broadcast, candidates from various ninja villages began to enter the cafeteria.

Dinner in the cafeteria is prepared in a buffet style, with a row of long tables filled with all kinds of delicious dishes.

After the three Sasukes entered, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Is that Uchiha Sasuke?"

"I heard that he has joined the Konoha Guard, why did he appear here?"

"Appearing here means that he is still a genin, just like us..."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Sasuke squeezed out a "嘁" sound from between his teeth.

Xiaoqiang took three plates, filled them with food as quickly as possible, then picked them up on a tray and walked out.

"There are too many people here, Sasuke-sama, Princess Zhien, let's go back to the room to eat!"

"Okay!" Aburame Zhien also didn't like crowded environments, so she agreed immediately.

Sasuke glanced at the people around him, then put his hands in his pockets, then turned and left the restaurant.

Obviously, he also agreed with Xiaoqiang's opinion.

Not long after the three left, a commotion soon broke out in the restaurant.

Candidates from various ninja villages fought, messed up the restaurant, and scattered food all over the place.

After the chaos subsided, everyone could only go back to their rooms to rest hungry.

After learning all this, Younv Zhien showed a face of gratitude.

"Thanks to Brother Xiaoqiang, otherwise we might be starving too!"

"Hehe, it's just a coincidence." Xiaoqiang scratched the back of his head shyly.

But Sasuke couldn't help but frowned: "Is it a coincidence...?"

From the first exam to the present, along the way, Xiaoqiang, who seemed to be trying to get others in trouble, solved a lot of their troubles by chance and made the exam extremely smooth.

It's fine if it happens once or twice, but is it really a coincidence so many times?

Sasuke's intuition told him that things didn't seem to be that simple.

However, based on his confidence in his own strength, he didn't care too much. After eating his own dinner, he lay down and rested.

He was indeed a little tired after the three-day long journey from Muye to Shayin Village.

But in the middle of the night, he suddenly opened his eyes again.

He glanced at Xiaoqiang, and found that the other party was sleeping peacefully on the bed, nothing unusual.

"Is it my imagination?"

He frowned and closed his eyes again.

After getting up the next morning, the three of them, together with others, came to the outside of the Feng Mo Listening Station, waiting for the examiner to appear.

As the examiner of the second exam, Temari quickly appeared in front of everyone, stood on a high place and spoke to everyone.

"Now I will explain the second Chunin exam. The content of the second exam is to start a battle for scrolls in the Desert of Demons, which is the ultimate survival battle!"

The rules for this scroll battle are the same as the previous Chunin Examination in Konoha.

The scrolls distributed are divided into two types: Book of Heaven and Book of Earth, and the examiner will distribute them evenly according to the number of teams.

The team that defeats the opponent and collects both types of scrolls and then brings them to the central stronghold of the Demon Desert will be considered qualified.

In other words, more than half of the teams will be eliminated in this exam.

In addition, this exam will last for three days, during which food needs to be self-sufficient.

Compared with the previous dead forest, it is obviously more difficult to obtain food and water in the desert.

Because it is accompanied by certain risks, it is also necessary to sign a consent form at your own risk.

The examinees quickly signed the consent form, got the scrolls belonging to their own team, and then entered the starting point of the Devil's Desert in batches.

Sasuke and the other three were very lucky and were assigned to a closer starting point. As soon as the invigilator spoke, the three of them immediately rushed into the Demonic Desert.

The Demonic Desert covers a large area and is often accompanied by terrible sandstorms. The environment is no less harsh than the Death Forest.

Sasuke likes this kind of open terrain very much, because it is convenient for him to search for opponents.

He soon discovered a group of people, Hyuga Ningji, Tiantian, and Xiao Li who belonged to Konoha.

After seeing these three people, before Sasuke could make a move, Xiaoqiang spoke up.

"There are many opponents, there is no need to fight among ourselves, just let them go!"

Oil Girl Zhien also nodded.

"That's right, everyone belongs to Konoha. At this time, it's better to be unanimous to the outside world. Anyway, we only need one scroll."

Seeing that the two of them had reached a consensus, Sasuke put his hands in his trouser pockets.

"I don't care. Anyway, for me, it doesn't matter who I choose as my opponent. Let's go directly to the stronghold in the middle of the desert."

As soon as he said these words, Younv Zhien's eyes lit up.

"Brother Sasuke means... let's go to the stronghold first, wait for the teams that have collected two scrolls to arrive, and then snatch their scrolls?"

"Yeah!" Sasuke nodded, "That's it, this is also the simplest and most direct way, let's go."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked forward, and Aburame Zhien and Xiaoqiang saw this and quickly followed his footsteps.

Seeing the three of them leave, Tian Tian and the others who were not far away also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh... It's a good thing they didn't plan to fight us, otherwise it might be troublesome, right Neji? Huh? Neji?"

"..."

Neji didn't speak, and the veins at the corners of his eyes were exposed as he opened his Byakugan.

Looking at Sasuke and the other two people walking away, he frowned tightly.

"Why is that man here? What exactly is he trying to do?"
