The ultimate master of the ninja world

Chapter 87, Insidious Rules

Kato Dan suddenly paused, glanced at everyone, and said solemnly: "Before this, I still want to remind everyone that the second exam will be very life-threatening due to the characteristics of the content and venue."

"Once the exam starts, you are not allowed to withdraw, and the examiners will not intervene again. That is to say, even if your life is in danger, we will not intervene. I am not kidding. You can think carefully before withdrawing now. It’s too late”

After Kato Dan's words fell, none of the candidates present said anything, and some even showed disdain. Many people actually disagreed with Kato Dan's words.

Except for a few of them, most of them are not just fledgling genin. They have performed many missions, and their psychological quality will not be shaken by a few threats. As for those who have just become genin, they can successfully advance to the re-examination. , how can it be simple.

Seeing that no one paid attention to his kind reminder, Kato Dan didn't care, nodded and said: "Then I will announce the content of the test. The second test requires you to form a group of four and enter death from different entrances of the training ground. Forest, reach the central tower ten kilometers away from the entrance within five days, and those who fail to arrive within the time limit will be eliminated."

"As a reminder, don't think this is simple. Not only is the terrain of the Death Forest complex, but the environment is also extremely harsh, because the original features are very well preserved. There are also various beasts inside, and what's even more troublesome is that there are all kinds of poisonous insects inside. You are also responsible for food during the period, so it is best to know how to identify poisonous weeds and poisonous fruits, otherwise you will know the consequences. To put it simply, this is a survival test."

However, after Kato Dan explained the content of the exam, many people seemed to relax and did not show any signs of nervousness.

"Haha, what kind of test did I think it was?" A young man wearing a Kusanagi forehead protector laughed softly: "Konoha is too underestimated, we are not the rookies in Konoha who have just graduated from the ninja school. No matter how dangerous it is in your so-called forest of death, the extent is still limited. What kind of test is this simple survival test?"

His words made some Konoha candidates frown, but they seemed to represent the thoughts of the vast majority of people.

The only difference is that the team formation requirements allow the candidates present to behave differently, some are happy, some are sad. This rule is undoubtedly more beneficial to those with a larger number of candidates from the same power, such as Konoha, followed by Sunagakure, This means they have more options when grouping together and can easily form a very powerful team.

For those hidden villages with few people, or even only one or two people left, this seems very embarrassing. The rule is that they must be in groups of four, which means that they must find other unfamiliar people to form a team, whether it is trust or trust. Tacitly speaking, this is never a good choice.

Shumu Jianyue stood silently behind the crowd, watching everyone's reactions indifferently. He felt that as long as people with less brains would soon understand that it is not that simple, otherwise this exam would be meaningless at all, and... The most important thing is that the rules have not been announced yet.

"Examiner, what are the rules and the requirements for promotion?"

Someone had obviously realized something and asked a question. This sentence reminded everyone present, and the scene suddenly became silent, and they all invariably waited for Kato Dan's answer.

Kato Dan smiled gently, nodded and said: "Please listen carefully to what I say. First of all, I think you may have some misunderstandings. Let me correct you. What I said about forming a team is not to let you do it yourself. The choice is determined by drawing lots, which means you are most likely to form a mixed team with other people you don’t know.”

As soon as these words came out, those who were happy just now, especially the candidates in Konoha, suddenly turned from joy to worry. This meant that their biggest advantage was lost, while some other candidates with weak power breathed a sigh of relief. This restriction has a great impact on They were equally unfriendly, but at least they smoothed everyone's troubles and put them under the same conditions.

Ignoring the candidates with different expressions, Kato Dan continued: "In addition, when you draw lots to form a team, each of you will get a nameplate. We will record it with your information based on the number on it, and the requirements for promotion are Yes, points are calculated by snatching nameplates from each other. When the exam time limit expires, the five teams with the highest points will be qualified to advance when they reach the central tower."

Following these words, all the candidates present's expressions began to become solemn. There is no doubt that this is to encourage them to snatch nameplates from each other, and the targets of the snatching may also include partners from other teams, from the same village, or even from the same race.

"Next, regarding the calculation of points, if a nameplate is snatched, one point will be added to the team and one point will be added to the individual. The person whose nameplate is taken away will be disqualified. At the same time, three points will be deducted from the team's points. Of course, if you can get it before the end of the exam, If you take back your numbered nameplate, you will not be disqualified." Kato said decisively.

The faces of the candidates present became even more ugly. This requirement meant that they could not leave their companions behind at will. Even if the other party was holding them back, once they encountered danger, they could only protect them depressedly, which would undoubtedly make their actions more restricted.

"Finally" Kato Dan suddenly hesitated, but still said: "Last point, no matter whether the team becomes one of the five teams with the highest points in the end, the person with the lowest points in the team will also lose the qualification to advance."

The scene was suddenly quiet and a pin drop could be heard. Many people's faces were as gloomy as water, as if it was very difficult to accept this last rule.

Originally, under the rules, the teammates forming the team may be strangers whom they do not know or even have grievances with. In this case, there is also a rule of elimination at the bottom, which will undoubtedly aggravate the distrust between team members and force them to Their relationship is even more divided. After all, no one is great enough to make a wedding dress for someone they don't know.

Once this relationship is not handled well, it is equivalent to planting a hidden bomb for the team that may completely split the entire team at any time. And the strength of a team that cannot be united may not be one plus one, but mutual constraints. The final result may be that no one can get what they want.

Of course, there is another reason why they have to be on guard. If one person in the team has an ulterior motive, deliberately drags them back, or even joins forces with other team members from their own village, such as people from the Hyuga branch family to cooperate with Hyuga and Rizuchi, inside and outside, to deceive their own team. It's not impossible.

At the same time, they had to keep one person as the bottom person, otherwise once this possibly worst person loses the qualification to take the exam, one of the remaining three people will inevitably be the bottom person.

This is a very contradictory conclusion

Kato Dan sighed secretly in his heart. He knew very well what the last rule represented after it was proposed. He also didn't understand that the village would formulate such a rule, but he heard that the rule for this second exam was Orochi. Pill formulated.
