Naruto: My Own Wind

The next morning, all the candidates gathered in the open space outside the monitoring center, and on the high platform were the Kazekage Gaara and a group of jonin inspectors.

And Kazama was also among them, standing on the far right, with Mitarashi Anko next to him.

Temari took a step forward, placed the three-star fan on the podium, and explained the rules of the second exam to the candidates below.

There is no change, it is still a battle for the Scroll of Heaven and Earth.

The examination will be held in the Demon Desert, and the time limit is only three days. All teams will have half of the scrolls of heaven and half of the scrolls of earth. Finally, the team that has gathered the scrolls of heaven and earth will go to the central tower of the Demon Desert.

If it does not expire, it will be considered eliminated.

After all team members signed the accident consent form, the captain took a scroll and went to the Demon Desert through different channels.

Morino Ida, Sagiri, and Kazema Sasame ran into the Demon Desert and stopped at a sand dune.

"Sagiri, Sasame, let's go to the central tower first, or grab the scroll first."

"Of course I'm looking for... I'm going to snatch the scroll." Sagiri took out a scroll with the word "Tian" on it.

"The scroll of heaven, then we only need to snatch a scroll of earth, that's all." Fuma Sasame put his hand to the corner of his mouth and turned his head to look at the yellow sand around him, "It would be great if Ranmaru was here."

"Okay, Ranmaru belongs to another team, so we can only rely on ourselves this time." Sagiri patted Fuma Sasame's shoulder and smiled slightly, "Let's go and embark on the journey to find the Scroll of Earth."

After saying that, Sagiri took the lead and ran in one direction.

Morino Ida and Fuma Sasama looked at each other, both of them showing helplessness, but they still had to raise their legs and chase after the eldest lady.

At this time, Ranmaru, Takedama and Shiho were also discussing countermeasures.

"Our scroll is the Scroll of Heaven, and we need a Scroll of Earth. So, as long as we grab one, we can go to the Central Tower." Shiho looked at the scroll in Ranmaru's hand and said very optimistically.

Takeda gave her a blank look and said, "Shiho, you think it's easy. It's not that easy to snatch one. We need to think it over carefully."

“Takeda is right.

Didn't you realize from the fight in the dining hall yesterday that there is no weak contestant in this exam?" Ranmaru put the scroll in his arms, "Because of my personal strength, maybe..."

Before Ranmaru could finish his words, Shiho stepped forward, patted his shoulder and assured him, "Ranmaru, no one can hurt you while I'm here!"

"That's right, Ranmaru. Your reconnaissance ability is beyond our reach, so there's no need for you to be discouraged." Takedamacho also echoed.

"Takeda, you finally said something right, I..."

"Stop!" Ranmaru raised his hands and looked at his two companions helplessly, "Let me finish what I'm saying."

Takeda and Shiho nodded at the same time.

"The fight in the restaurant is actually more like a test before a big exam. While we are observing others, others are also observing us."

Ranmaru's words made the two nod again.

"Uncle Kazama is right. Those three teams are very powerful. So, if we meet them, we have no choice but to turn around and run this way."

Takeda Cho and Shiho both chose to be lost in thought, both with their arms folded and their heads down, as if recalling their experiences last night.

When Ranmaru saw this, he said nothing and waited quietly for the response from his two companions.

Takedama and Shiho have only been in Dekagi Port for about a year. They have some understanding of Kazama, but not comprehensive, so it is normal for them to have doubts.

After a moment, the two looked up, looked at each other, and finally nodded together.

"Since you agree, let's continue." Ranmaru rubbed his hands, "There is a small team in Konoha Village that is also very difficult to deal with."

"Which one?" Shiho asked immediately.

"Two men, one woman, and a big white dog."

Ranmaru's voice set Shiho and Takedama's brains working rapidly, and soon, their eyes lit up, thinking that they were going to face the Konoha team that Ranmaru had mentioned.

"Ranmaru, you want to talk about the man in sunglasses, right?" Takedamachi asked.

"Yes, that man in sunglasses, I once heard Uncle Kazama mention that Konoha's insect clan uses chakra as nourishment and their bodies as insect tanks. They are a very difficult family to deal with." Ranmaru frowned and said lightly.

"You mean, he's covered in bugs?" Seeing Ranmaru nod, Shiho shuddered and shook her head desperately, "Then we'd better not fight with him for the scroll. Bugs... eh!"

Takeda Machi curled his lips but said nothing.

"Do you still remember the team from Kusagakure Village?"

"Kusagakure...ah! Ranmaru, you're not talking about that strange trio!" Seeing Ranmaru nod, Shiho's eyes widened instantly, "Ranmaru, are they also strong?"

"Of course, they are not weak at all, especially the fat guy, who is the most difficult to deal with."

“Why? With his body size, haha…” Takedamachi showed a disdainful expression.

"Takeda, Shiho, think about it, the Kusagakure Village team is one of the few teams that haven't felt tired after three days of long journey!

Besides sweating, have you ever seen that fat guy breathing heavily?" Ranmaru rubbed his nose, his tone was a little flat.

Ranmaru was calm, but Takedama and Shiho suddenly lost their composure and fell into memories again. After a moment, they nodded to Ranmaru with a little shame.

Seeing the two agree, Ranmaru smiled, "The last team is the Sand Ninja Team, two girls and one boy."

"Sand Ninja Team, which one?"

Ranmaru was already used to Shiho's anxiety, so he said calmly, "One of the women had two huge light blue twin tails."

As soon as Ranmaru finished speaking, Takedama and Shiho said "oh" at the same time, and then stared at Ranmaru blankly, waiting for his explanation.

"In fact, this woman with light blue twin tails is a puppet, and the little puppet in her arms is the real ninja." Ranmaru said, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

This discovery was just an accident.

"what?"

"how is this possible?"

Shiho and Takeda asked together.

"Nothing is impossible. I heard Uncle Kazama mention that all Sand Ninja puppeteers are conspirators.

Since close combat is relatively weak, puppeteers will try every means to hide their real bodies. And swapping puppets with real bodies is a common method. "Ranmaru stretched himself and looked around, and all he saw was yellow sand all over the ground.

"I see. Then why don't we just give her a fatal blow?" Shiho clenched her fists, looking confident.

"Another point, the puppeteer is good at using poison, so we should try not to conflict with him." Ranmaru added.

"Ranmaru, according to your idea, we will turn around and leave when we meet these six groups." Seeing Ranmaru nod, Takedamachi pinched his chin and hesitated for a moment, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"I listen to my Ranmaru even more." Shiho put her hand on Ranmaru's shoulder and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Takeda Cho pretended to vomit.

Unfortunately, Shiho's eyes were on Ranmaru, otherwise if she had discovered him, the two would probably have had another sparring match.

"When we encounter these six groups, we will evacuate. As for the other teams, we can outsmart them." Ranmaru vowed.

"Outsmart? How do we outsmart them?" Takeda Cho became interested.

"While in the restaurant, other teams were also observing our strength.

Because I didn't make a move, there are only two answers in their eyes: disdain and nothing." Ranmaru smiled faintly, "And they prefer to believe that I am the latter.

So, set a trap, use me as bait, and lure them in."

Upon hearing this, Shiho was the first to object, "No, I don't agree. This will be too dangerous for you."

"Yeah, that's very inappropriate," Takeda Cho also agreed.

Ranmaru waved his hand, "Come closer and listen."

Seeing this, Shiho and Takedama had no choice but to stick their heads over, and after listening to Ranmaru's plan, their faces slightly curled up.
