The arrival of the poisonous fog pushed the atmosphere of the re-examination to its climax.

It is known that the poisonous fog becomes thicker as it gets closer to the seaside, so it must come from the sea.

As a result, neither the edge of the island nor the outer coast will be safe.

All people can do is to quickly move towards the center of the island, which is the designated end point, before the poisonous fog spreads.

Under the heavy pressure, all the candidates' original plans had to be scrapped.

The competition on the road is becoming more and more fierce.

——After all, they don’t know what else is waiting for them next. If they don’t get more supplies and eliminate more people, how can they have a sense of security?

Kirigakure Village can even use poison, so what else can't they do?

This tense atmosphere brought about those positions in the middle, and the ninjas who had not noticed the existence of the poisonous mist also became vigilant.

Akato quickly stopped Deidara, who wanted to have another wave: "Deidara, something is wrong!"

"what?"

Deidara above turned to look at Akatsuki who was holding him tightly.

"What are you doing? Didn't you look at me and I almost caught up with the person in front of me!"

"Didn't you notice that all the people coming behind are rushing forward as hard as they can?"

Just like before a natural disaster strikes, there will always be visions of animals that sense danger. When ninjas sense a crisis that is difficult to deal with, their first reaction is definitely to 'avoid'.

In this case, even if there is danger ahead, they still move in the designated direction. It must be because there is something more troublesome or dangerous behind them.

"What can that do..."

Seeing that the person was running away and there was no point in chasing him, Deidara finally gave up the idea of ​​continuing the pursuit and curled his lips.

But midway through his words, he keenly sensed something was wrong.

"The air... no, is it filled with paralyzing gas?"

If it had been anything else, he might not have noticed it so quickly.

But he was too familiar with the paralyzing gas.

Because he was chased by the ninjas of Iwagakure Village all day long, the most common thing he encountered was this kind of thing that would not paralyze people and lose their ability to move.

"Quick, let's go too."

This time, he took the initiative to run without any urging from Chitu.

"They even used paralyzing gas. How despicable is Kirigakure Village!"

He complained as he ran.

Deidara's imagination of the Chuunin Exam was that after they had defeated other enemies, they would face Uchiha Itachi in an upright and peak showdown.

That's not what it is now.

He had to protect something, he was stripped of all his equipment and searched for ninja kits all over the world, and finally he had to be chased away by poisonous gas.

Damn, angry.

But no matter how angry he is, the established facts will not change.

Now they can only think of ways to sprint to the finish line like everyone else.

As the 'toxic circle' continues to shrink, their chances of meeting people are increasing.

At this point, I really don’t care about any conspiracy or not.

Everyone was running around.

In addition to those who are in good condition and ready to climb mountains, there are also people who have reached the end of their strength and are no longer able to climb mountains and cliffs.

Yes, cliffhanger.

This cliff is obviously man-made.

The side facing the candidates is so smooth that there are almost no relay points.

One look at it and one can sense the malicious intent of the preparer.

"Damn it! We're already here already!"

Some people hammer hard on the towering mountain walls, suffering from their own weakness.

He has obviously survived everything in front of him.

It was obviously his teammates who sacrificed themselves to create the opportunity.

But he can only stop here.

This despair was so painful that the young man's eyes turned red on the spot.

No, it's not over yet.

The young man suddenly had a hard expression.

"Since I can't get through it, then don't even think about it!"

As he spoke, he unleashed his final strength, and before his body was completely paralyzed by the poisonous mist, he knocked out all the ninja weapons like a goddess scattering flowers.

The poisonous circle has almost shrunk to here. If these people can't climb up immediately, the result will be the same as themselves.

It’s also good to bring an extra friend to make up the exam with you next year!

The boy's actions were not very harmful, but they did harass the people who were climbing around him.

"Wow!"

"Ahhh!"

"catch me!"

In the chaos, many people began to lose their hands.

Some were lucky enough to grab a new fulcrum in time to stabilize themselves, while others were unlucky and just fell off.

——The worse luck would be to be hit by someone who fell from above.

It really makes people cry when they see it and sad when they smell it.

Thanks to their quick reaction, Deidara's team had climbed to the upper part and no longer had to worry about the melee below.

"If we throw something down at this time, we should eliminate more."

Now that he was safe, Deidara's mind became active again.

Akatsuchi: "It's better not to do it. The melee before was because of the rules. If you do it now, you will simply be hated by others."

The calm Iwagakure boy shook his head.

"Deidara, be careful of retribution."

Akatsuki was really worried that Deidara would suffer retribution for his back-and-forth.

It’s hard to get here, but don’t fall short because of heaven’s punishment.

"How could I...ah!"

Just when Deidara turned to complain to Akatsuki, a sudden external force hit his back, and then, the force jumped upward again.

Deidara, who was used as a foothold, was in a worse situation. He almost slipped under the reaction force.

Chitu finally managed to pull him up.

At this time, a light voice came from above:

"I'm sorry, let me lend you some help!"

It was a young and lively voice. Although Deidara didn't recognize it in the past, he now remembered this voice firmly.

——Remember it for me! Let’s see how I clean up after the exam is over!

Just as Deidara roared, another black shadow fell lightly beside him.

Then he heard the voice just now say again:

"Itachi, come on, I'll pull you!"

It is you!

Deidara was stunned for a second, and then he became furious. Didn't new and old hatreds collide with each other now?

Uchiha Itachi! You bad guy!

Even if you don’t fight with me, let your teammates step on me! ?

Deidara was furious.

Deidara broke free from Akatsuki's hand and jumped up.

"Damn Uchiha Itachi!!!"

The boy, overwhelmed by anger, took out all the talismans in one go.

Take my full blow! ! !

boom! ! !

"and many more?"

"How could someone cause trouble before the finish line?"

"Does he not want to pass the exam!?"

"What's going on? I can't even see the mirage technique anymore???"

"What the hell happened!"

This new model of the Kirigakure Village Chuunin Exam ended with a wonderful ending.

Because of Deidara's last out-of-control blow, the mirage technique lost its effect.

So only the person involved knows what exactly happened at that time.

It's just that a few people who witnessed it kept silent about it - so what exactly happened at that last moment has become one of the 'Ten Unsolved Mysteries of the Chuunin Examination'.

But no matter what, the Chunin Exams came to an end successfully.

Half of the candidates have also obtained chuunin qualifications.

Itachi Uchiha

Deidara's group was also on the list of those who passed.

From then on, he was a glorious chuunin.

——It is gratifying and congratulatory. It is gratifying and congratulatory.

Things related to the Chunin Exams have come to an end, but the cooperative projects and business are still continuing.

In addition to the Sea Paradise, which is used to entertain guests, and the Ocean Star, which provides underwater tours and sightseeing services, what left the deepest impression on people was the 'unique' Chunin Examination re-examination.

Various performances that are beyond people's imagination and full of program effects leave a deep impression on people's hearts and at the same time, they also vaguely create a little desire in people.

"It seems very interesting."

"Yeah, can only ninjas play?"

Because the lethality is greatly weakened, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is more exciting than scary.

In this way, the emotion of yearning will naturally arise.

——It’s all about picking up ninja kits, so it’s okay if I don’t do it?

Compared with ordinary people who just have some ideas, ninjas, especially young ninjas, are really moved after seeing it.

How interesting!

Although they were embarrassed and made a fool of themselves, they didn't think this would happen to them.

All that's left is desire.

Although novels, comics and gashapon machines are equally interesting.

But this is obviously what real ninjas should play with!

And Ugetsu did not live up to their expectations.

The Chunin Exams are over.

Soon after, she announced that the "Ninja Survival" project was in preparation.

And she also announced that she will use the unique local terrain to build several "Ninja Survival" venues with different styles, characteristics and challenge points in different venues.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately went viral.

People who lack entertainment options due to war, conservatism and other reasons never imagined that such an operation could be possible.

A game of "Ninja Survival" in the Hidden Mist Village is enough for them to play for a long time.

And there are actually several such interesting things at once.

Oh my god, is this what it feels like to be suddenly rich?

The young ninjas were ecstatic.

Then, as Ugetsu Store announced that it would regularly use the 'Mirage Technique' to broadcast projects in "Ninja Survival", it may even take out the "Ninja Survival" project separately to hold a national competition.

Ordinary people also reveled.

Great! They have more new fun!

The competition between ninjas is thrilling and exciting, who doesn’t like it?

So before the project was launched, it had already received a terrifying amount of discussion and support.

People just wish they could open their eyes the next day and see the new venue completed and a new round of competition begin immediately.

There is no way, the days are too empty.

Most ordinary people can't be like those wealthy aristocratic plutocrats who spend money to build themselves happiness (in the physical sense) when they are really bored.

For example, they can't afford an 'Ocean Star', so they just go for a walk in Haili Lake to relax.

Although the Chuunin Exams are held for ninjas.

But the projects and products produced are open to all consumers.

Such as various shell and coconut shell products.

These decorative objects with local characteristics have become special souvenirs purchased in large quantities by many tourists.

Another example is Pearl Clams, and ‘Letter from the Cape’.

These two are also popular products that have aroused great enthusiasm among tourists.

Later, because there were so many letters, Kirigakure Village even had to rush to add several horse-drawn carriages to catch up with the transportation.

After all, this is a rare occasion. Who doesn’t have a few friends to write to?

There are as few as three or five letters, and as many as a dozen letters.

Every day, several carloads of letters are shipped out from Sea Paradise, sorted by Yuyue Express, and then sent to all directions.

As for the pearl clams.

Because he was too enthusiastic and almost dug up the pearl clams, Ugetsu had to fight with Kirigakure.

Villages join forces for a new project.

This is the ‘cultured pearl’ project.

The gifts of nature are not endless after all.

In order to prevent this clamming project from disappearing, it is urgent to develop pearl clam farming technology.

Although cultured pearl clams will inevitably cause a certain drop in the price of pearls, the price of open clams will also undergo some correction.

But on the other hand, because the price is lowered, it can better carry out the plan of small profits but quick turnover, allowing more people to join in this happy activity.

Although this was an industry that Kirigakure Village had never been exposed to before, seeing that the cooperative partner was Ugetsu Store and the benefits it had already tasted, Kirigakure Village decided to go for it.

It's just that Kirigakure Village adheres to the traditional ninja lifestyle all year round. Except for the technology of ninja-related projects, other aspects are still relatively backward.

Therefore, this 'breeding technology' finally fell to Orochimaru, a 'scientific research generalist' who was good at research and had an extremely wide range of research.

Orochimaru:"……"

It wasn't that Orochimaru hated working on new projects.

It's just that they are one after another, one on top of the other.

No one can bear it.

After all, he is just a ninja, not the Sage of Six Paths.

Even if it is a little stronger and stronger than the average person.

That also requires eating, drinking and resting.

No, this matter has to be pushed out.

However, Orochimaru thought about it and couldn't find a suitable candidate.

Jiraiya said no more, a fool can't do research.

Tsunade can do it, but she is too busy with project development right now to do the research, so give her more work.

Even if it were me, I'd probably have to get a beating.

Of course Orochimaru is not afraid of Tsunade, but just because he is not afraid of Tsunade does not mean that he is willing to eat Tsunade's fists that can destroy internal organs.

He is not Jiraiya, he has masochistic tendencies.

Apart from that, the only 'scientific research talent' he could think of was the Red Sand Scorpion.

...But let’s not talk about whether that boy can do this kind of work. The order from Ocean Star alone is enough to make him very anxious.

I heard that this year’s Ocean Star is even more popular than the ‘Desert Star’ in the past.

The orders for the Chunin Examination alone are already scheduled for next year. In this case, he will definitely not take any time to work on this project.

After much thought, he could only settle on his 'old friend'.

Although that guy has already rebelled.

But considering that Ugetsu-san has even hired someone like Kakuzu, then one more traitorous nin must be okay.

Sometimes I think about it, what those young people said is not unreasonable.

——Companions are really the treasures in life.

Especially when life comes.

Orochimaru, who had a new idea, immediately summoned Tsunade and Jiraiya.

"This is really rare. What kind of wind blew you out of the research room?"

Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru in surprise.

Your teammates know it yourself.

This is really a master who doesn’t go to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason. The last time I saw him, he was caught fishing for himself... Hey, I won’t say any more.

"I'm not slacking off today."

Tsunade's reaction was much more straightforward.

Having been caught by Orochimaru so many times, she had almost developed a conditioned reflex.

Orochimaru: "This is what you call 'asking for help'... But it doesn't matter, I didn't come to you today for such a trivial matter."

He said in his trademark husky voice.

"I came to you this time to discuss something important."

"what's up?"

Tsunade responded positively.

——As long as it’s not about work, she can do it.

Sometimes she also regrets - why can't you resist temptation?

If I had resisted the temptation and ran away, my life would have been much more carefree and free now... Although my life now is also very nourishing and beautiful.

But tired is really tired.

The whole person is like a clockwork man who has been wound up. As long as the clockwork does not slacken, he will have no time to rest.

"You must all feel that the workload has become more and more heavy recently."

Orochimaru did not get into the topic immediately, but first talked about their current work situation.

"Everyone should have accumulated a lot of new commissions, right?"

"The delivery date should also be..."

Don't say it. Don't say it.

Tsunade wanted to cover her ears on the spot - as long as I didn't listen, there was no dead line or delivery date.

But based on her understanding of Orochimaru, she also knew that he was not just someone who said these things just to poke their sore feet.

——With Orochimaru's brain circuit, he definitely feels that instead of wasting time on such things, it would be better to spend more time using his brain.

As for poking someone's sore spot or something like that.

It's as if he doesn't talk about things and they don't exist.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

She interrupted Orochimaru crisply.

Orochimaru laughed and then continued:

"Then let me get to the point."

"Don't you think we need an assistant?"

"……assistant?"

Tsunade narrowed his eyes.

She didn't think that Orochimaru would be mentioned specifically as an ordinary 'assistant'.

That kid Anko was already very talented, but Orochimaru almost didn't even say "good" to him.

So this time...

"Yes, since we have embarked on a new path now, of course we cannot leave behind our old friends."

After Orochimaru finished laughing, he gently spit out a name that they had gradually forgotten.

"Bilyuhu."

Everyone is working overtime, how can he be left alone?

Humble call.

Although it hadn't actually been a few years since the Third Ninja War ended, when she heard it again, Tsunade still felt like she was in another world for a moment.

He was once his closest companion besides his teammates.

Later, he persisted in his obsession and chose to defect, becoming a traitorous ninja.

if……

"Biliuhu is good!"

Jiraiya just slapped his hands and loudly agreed.

To be honest, because his personality doesn't get along with Orochimaru's, he rarely directly agrees with Orochimaru's judgment, but this time, he agreed with both hands and feet.

Rather than letting our former companions go further and further down the wrong path, it would be better to bring them together and work together... uh, he meant to shine together.

Good brothers must share joys and sorrows. How can we just watch people fall?

That's not okay.

"Beiliuhu is so wonderful. He is so smart. If he can help, he will be even more powerful."

"Right Tsunade, if Hiruhu is here, you don't have to stay up late every day. Then we can drink whatever we want."

——If you don’t stay up late, can you still drink as much as you want?

Tsunade's brain received these keywords keenly.

Then she came to.

"That's right, I don't think Beilihu can be allowed to continue wandering like this."

She cleared her throat.

Of course it's a good thing to have someone to help, but the main thing is to save your companions. You can't let people continue walking on the wrong path, right?

We are brothers who have passed away, so of course we must realize the value of life together.

After listening to the people at the Ugetsu store so many times, Tsunade herself could even open her mouth.

"Okay, now that we have agreed, let's go to the fourth generation to explain the situation."

After all, it was a traitorous ninja and he had to leave three people at once.

You have to say hello to the Fourth Hokage.

Namikaze Minato, who heard the three people's petition: "..."

To be honest, if I hadn't known the characters of the three of them, I wouldn't have believed them when I heard them.

To put it bluntly, isn’t it necessary?

Call your brothers to come back and suffer together.

"Fourth generation, so this matter..."

Seeing that the Fourth Hokage had not answered, Orochimaru took the initiative to urge him.

The blond young man blinked, then blinked again:

"I understand the situation, but..."

"Just what? The three of us are doing it ourselves. We don't need extra manpower from the village, and we don't need funds from the village."

Seeing that Namikaze Minato seemed to be hesitating, Tsunade took a step forward.

"We will be responsible for all expenses ourselves. We will definitely explain the work well and it will not affect Miss Ugetsu and the operation of the village."

The implication was that all Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, had to do was just a 'nod'.

Namikaze Minato quickly spoke:

"No, no, I didn't mean to refuse..."

He cleared his throat.

"Just this matter, have you discussed it with Miss Yuyue? There is also the issue of the containment of Beilihu."

After all, he was a traitor nin who was on the wanted list in Konoha, so it would be difficult for him to return to the village.

"You don't have to worry about that."

Tsunade waved his hand.

"Miss Ugetsu has been recruiting talents, and Beiliuhu definitely meets this requirement - as for the containment."

Tsunade paused when she got here.

They thought very well, but they forgot that the guy was a traitor and would never come back.

"You can go to the Ugetsu Store branch in the Country of Waves."

Jiraiya, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke carelessly.

"Anyway, there's Kakuzu-sama over there, right?"

There is already an old person who has rebelled, so it doesn’t matter if there is a younger one.

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, and then agreed to the proposal.

"That's right, it would be good to go to the country of Waves. There is Kakuzu-sama there, and I think Beiruhu will be able to change his mind there."

Even if it's just for the sake of money, Lord Kakuzu will definitely help Beiruhu to "change his mind".

Namikaze Minato: "..."

Send people to Kakuzu... you are such good companions.

It's so good that he's afraid of it.

Namikaze Minato even wanted to reflect for a moment on whether he had offended a few people.

If it is not resolved early, I feel that what ‘Bilihu’ experienced today will be his fate.

No, before that, let’s send the person out first.

"I understand, then I'll give you a week."

The fourth generation stamped the three people’s applications.

"No problem, it must be enough."

The three of them were overjoyed, and then neatly disappeared into the Hokage's office.

Although they only submitted the application today, to be honest, the search for traces of Beilihu started as early as the day the decision was made.

Sharpening knives doesn't cut firewood by mistake.

On the contrary, Nara Shikaku, who was the Fourth Hokage's think tank, frowned:

"Is this really good?"

All the Sannin who had finally been found were released at once.

The fourth generation shook his head and stamped the next document:

"Let Master and the others go. After all, even if I don't agree, the three of them will still run away if they make up their mind."

He didn't think that something that even three generations of adults could not do, he, who had only been Hokage for a few years, could solve it.

"No more." The blond young man behind the Hokage's desk sighed. "It's better to let them torment outsiders than to attack one of our own."

Nara Shikaku: ...There's nothing wrong with that.

Compared to the past, he was voyeuristic, disappeared or drunkenly crazy.

It would be better for them to use their energy on outsiders.

As for the 'outsider'...since they are looking for someone, the three adults must have a sense of proportion.

should……

Be measured.
