After experiencing the horror of life and death, he finally got a chance to breathe.

South of the Death Forest.

Sakura and Sasuke found a hidden tree hole.

After setting up a series of traps outside the tree hole.

Sakura then sat down next to Sasuke tiredly, and used her little chakra to help Sasuke treat his injuries.

Although it doesn't seem to be of much use to Sasuke's current state, it can at least provide some peace of mind.

It's just that Sasuke's injuries weren't actually that many. After the treatment, Sakura could only stand there in a daze, unable to do anything.

However, she is not in the mood to do anything now.

She didn't even want to continue with this exam.

Touching the bone knife in her hand, Sakura's tears flowed down again.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she actually had a deeper relationship with Naruto than Sasuke.

Especially now, people tend to have random thoughts once they calm down.

Sakura saw things and missed people, and began to unconsciously recall every moment with Naruto.

Harassed myself in Ninja School.

After graduating from Ninja School, he suddenly distanced himself from himself.

He always helps himself in tasks and always knows exactly what he wants and likes.

When he was unhappy, he would always do things to make her angry, and then she would give her a harsh lesson.

Arrogant, arrogant, hard-working, determined, mean, kind and... lonely.

The final scene in the memory was of Naruto standing alone in the crowd and smiling as he watched her and Sasuke leave.

I used to... ignore Naruto's feelings too much...

Naruto must be lonely in the Pure Land alone, right?

Sakura kept stroking the bone blade, and tears kept falling on it.

Naruto, I swear I will avenge you!

Just use this knife to kill that guy named Orochimaru with your own hands!

……

In the trees not far away.

The three ninjas of the Sound Ninja were secretly watching Sakura and Sasuke.

"Lord Orochimaru's order is to start tomorrow morning."

Toss looked at Sasuke who was lying next to Sakura and said in a low tone.

"Sasuke seems to be seriously injured. This mission must be too easy."

Jintu looked relaxed and inserted his waist.

"How about we go over and kill him now?"

"Do you want to disobey Orochimaru's orders?"

Toss snorted a warning and said again.

"It doesn't look like he will wake up soon, so let him live one more night."

……

Just a few kilometers away from where Sakura was hiding.

"There are a total of sixty people in this exam, which is twenty groups."

Hinata Neji crossed his arms and looked at his two teammates.

"There was a lot of noise in the afternoon. I think someone should have finished collecting the scrolls and headed to the central tower."

"Based on my analysis, there are probably less than ten groups left in the forest at this time."

"There are still a little more than four days before the end of the exam. We must grab a scroll in the remaining days, even if it is the same Earth Scroll, so that we can at least have two people at the critical moment. Team exchange for Zhang Tianzhi’s scroll.”

"So, the next battle plan is to find a team in the vast forest of death."

"Do you have any opinions?"

After Neji finished speaking, he looked at Tiantian and Xiao Li.

"No."

Xiao Li and Tiantian have long been accustomed to listening to Neji's battle plans, so naturally they won't have any objections.

"Then, regardless of whether we meet other groups in the future, we will come back to this location every three hours to meet up."

Neji nodded, said 'let's go', and left first.

"Let's go take a look at the battlefield in the afternoon first. This shouldn't be ninjutsu movement that should be seen at the genin level."

Neji was a little worried that he might meet that powerful ninja team later, so he planned to use his Byakugan to investigate from a distance.

……

Midday on the moon.

The forest of death became lively.

Countless poisonous insects and beasts began to look for food.

under the moonlight.

On the trunk of a large tree that was washed away by the afternoon waves.

Orochimaru sat quietly, looking at the cracked lines on the tree trunk that looked like turtle shells, looking thoughtful.

"I didn't expect that Naruto's strength is stronger than I expected. In just half a year, his taijutsu strength is already comparable to Kimimaro. If Kimimaro doesn't use corpse veins and curse seals, he will definitely not be Naruto. A human rival.”

Orochimaru is one of the three ninjas and possesses a vast amount of knowledge.

Just by looking at some of the traces after being hit by the flood, we could roughly know Naruto's general strength at this time.

If Zabuza hadn't been an immortal body reincarnated from the earth, he would have easily been fatally struck without expecting Naruto's super strong physical skills.

Judging from the situation at the scene, Zabuza had indeed been fatally injured at least once.

It seems that Naruto was able to use the Great Waterfall Jutsu to make a sneak attack because he was not aware of the situation of the Earth Reincarnation.

Moreover, it was three consecutive maximum water escape techniques from large waterfalls.

"There are also wind escape and sword skills. Naruto-kun is already strong enough to hold the title of Jonin. What he lacks now is just the training of the battlefield. If he fully masters the power of the nine tails, I will not use conventional means. He must be his opponent."

When Orochimaru thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little weird.

Because at this time, Naruto did not use any power of the Nine-Tails, but spent a lot of chakra to suppress the Nine-Tails.

On the other hand, Sasuke, although he is also very good, is still at the chuunin stage with the help of Sharingan.

In other words, Naruto, who has always been in a constant negative state, is actually much stronger than the Sasuke he is optimistic about.

Even Naruto was in a state of being untutored until he graduated.

After graduation, Kakashi, who was only of average ability, served as his instructor.

It's a pity that if I were to train him, he would definitely surpass his father.

Orochimaru expressed disdain for Kakashi.

"Orochimaru, what are you doing in Konoha?!"

The beauty with a beige windbreaker and a cold face suddenly appeared in front of Orochimaru. She asked questions and stabbed Orochimaru without hesitation with the kunai in her hand.

"Isn't this my dear disciple?"

Orochimaru turned his head slightly to avoid Anko's kunai, then his neck suddenly lengthened, and he directly wrapped Anko tightly with his neck.

Orochimaru's head appeared in front of Anko, with an evil smile on his face.

"Of course I came to Konoha to kill your most beloved Hokage."

"Hmph! You won't succeed!"

Seeing such a horrifying scene, Hongdou was not afraid at all and said with a calm expression.

"I have informed the Hokage-sama of your appearance here."

"Haha, little Hongdou, I haven't seen you in a few years, you have grown a lot."
