Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

"despair!"

Under the night, the already dark death forest became even more gloomy, as if there was a dangerous atmosphere everywhere, the bushes, grasses and vines in the forest, it seemed that there were countless pairs of ghosts in every shadow, even in the open space. The eyes are staring at each other, and every plant and tree is full of murderous intent, which makes people suddenly tense up and shudder.

And at this moment, a pair of wooden clogs lightly stepped on the branches of the huge tree at this moment.

In this dead forest, another unexpected visitor came.

"The center should be here, that is to say, that person should be here."

As it settled down, the white-haired man wearing wooden clogs and wearing oiled forehead protector murmured softly.

In the words, there is no lack of surprise and worry.

Exactly, one of Konoha Sannin, Jiraiya who was summoned back to the village by the Three Hokages!

But at this moment, in front of his eyes, there was a huge bush of thorns and trees that protruded from the forest like flowers, like a diseased protrusion in the forest.

Even, if he planned to stand on the giant tree, he had to look up to see the top of the thorn bush.

Obviously, this bush of thorns is not a normal plant in this dead forest.

And before, I have never heard of such a bush of thorns growing in the Death Forest.

Although this dead forest is full of dangers, in addition to being a popular choice for the Chunin exam, it is also the forest with the most complete ecology in Konoha Village. Konoha often sends people to maintain and investigate the ecology. A huge bush will definitely be reported before this, and the village will definitely know about it.

After all, on the day when the Chunin test site was selected, a large number of Konoha ninjas would have come to investigate.

This bush of thorns is bound to be discovered and reported.

Now, without any news, it must be the product of the Zhongnin Exam in progress.

In other words, the bush of thorns in front of me was probably written by a certain candidate or a ninja other than the candidate.

"Fortunately, I came to take a look."

Regarding this, Jilai also looked at the huge thorny flower in front of him, and frowned slightly, but he uttered such a worried word.

It turned out that since he felt the direction of the Death Forest, that is, the abnormality here, he asked Anbu who led the way about the situation here. After asking, although Anbu who led the way was a little unclear at the beginning, he still thought of something and put here He was told about the Chunin Exam being held.

After learning that the public exam was being held here, Jiraiya hesitated for a while, and finally postponed the time to meet the third Hokage, and directly told the leading Anbu ninja that he had found some abnormalities and wanted to investigate. Then, parted ways with the Anbu ninja who led the way.

After all, when he went to investigate this matter, the Third Hokage would know about it, so he didn't hide it.

And when he came here, after seeing the bushes of thorns, his first reaction, apart from surprise and worry, might be that he was lucky.

Obviously, this Chunin exam is mixed with some guys who shouldn't or don't need to take the exam.

The importance of this Chunin Exam is self-evident. At the same time, even if Jiraiya is away all year round, he is very clear about the meaning behind this Chunin Exam, and he also understands the meaning behind this Chunin Exam. Meaning, and the meaning behind it will cause open and secret struggles.

Even, because he has been wandering in the light and darkness of this ninja world all year round, and there are many undercurrents, he may see more intuitively than the third Hokage.

Although it can't be said that he can see more thoroughly than the third Hokage, but because of this intuition, what he can see will not be much less than the third Hokage.

Otherwise, he would not have given up on seeing the Third Hokage the first time he returned to the village, but had come directly to investigate.

Um……

The place where the technique took place should be in the center of the thorny branches of the thorn bush, and it is also surrounded by thorns, like a solid tree trunk.

In other words, the caster is performing the spell at the center...

Um……

In this position, I am afraid that the caster himself will not be able to survive, that is to say, this is a technique at the cost of his own life.

The caster... should still be in the center.

Then, thinking of this, with just one glance, and Jiraiya's rich experience and experience, he quickly deduced some information.

At the same time, it has been determined that this is a suicide ninjutsu, and the body of the performer is probably still in the center of the technique, which is the center of the thornbush flower tightly entangled by thorns.

maybe……

Even the body of the caster was inside.

After that, another thought appeared in his mind.

Um?

what is that?

Then, in the next second, a flash of light came from the corner of his eye, and he couldn't help but look at the other side of the thorny flower. His brow furrowed, but his figure suddenly flashed. A certain direction of the thorn flower stopped.

But after stopping, in front of his eyes was a fallen giant tree, stretching hundreds of meters all the way, like an open avenue leading to the end of the line of sight, under the moonlight, without the cover of branches, a piece of silvery white, like a dark A bright light path in the middle extends away.

These scorch marks... Are the high temperatures directly melting the trees?

However, it did not cause any flames.

Moreover, the fallen giant tree at a distance of several hundred meters should have been bombarded by a ninjutsu.

But looking at the fallen trees in front of him, shining with silver light, Jiraiya's eyes widened slightly uncontrollably, and there was an unconcealable surprise in his eyes.

You know, the trees that have fallen hundreds of meters are not random trees in the small forest, nor are they primitive giant trees in the primeval forest, but ancient giant trees unique to the dead forest, even if it is his toad oil It is quite remarkable to be able to pierce through several giant trees with one bite of the flame bomb.

In this distance of hundreds of meters, there are countless fallen ancient giant trees. The power of this technique has far surpassed the scope of ninjutsu.

In other words, the power of this technique is beyond the scope of ninjutsu.

Even a ninjutsu with S-level power may not be able to reach this level.

"What kind of person... sneaked into Konoha! What are you going to do to Konoha? And it happens to be at the stand of the Chunin exam. Is this... a provocation?"

But at this time, under the shock, Jiraiya began to mutter to himself.

A ninja who can use this kind of powerful ninjutsu, which village will not treat it as a treasure, and put it in a war, at least it can determine the outcome of a war zone.

At this time, he was dispatched to Konoha, and he also took the Chunin Exam, which was seriously inconsistent with his status. This kind of behavior was not a demonstration, but a provocation!

A demonstration against Konoha, or...

provocative!
