[Hokage] One tit for another

The waterfall roared and fell from the top of the mountain, and the huge water pressure pressed hard on my shoulders and head, constantly washing away, making people's ears buzzing.

I adjusted my breathing and climbed up the rock crevice under the rush of the waterfall.

Climbing waterfalls is my practice since I was a child, especially in summer when the water volume of the waterfall is the largest, which can increase the strength of the body, and at the same time, it will not make me have a pair of uncoordinated strong arms due to excessive practice.In climbing, you can maximize the power of the whole body, including fingers and wrists.

It’s just that I used chakra at the beginning, and I could only fall halfway up the climb. Now I don’t use chakra, and I can quickly climb to the top with only my body strength.So I just put one hand behind my back and climbed with only one hand.

After I stood cautiously on my feet, I quickly let go and stretched my hands to a higher gap.In fact, the rock walls are so tightly fitted that it is impossible to get a grip on most places, so I can only try my best to squeeze my fingers into the only small gaps, or hold on to a certain protruding rock.

After climbing once at the beginning, my hands were bloody, the skin on my fingertips was worn out, and my nails would turn over. Not to mention my hands, my whole body was actually covered in scratches. Sometimes in order to be able to climb on the cliff, I Even put your knees against rocks to increase friction.

Climbing up with such terrible water pressure is actually quite incredible, but it’s like I still can’t understand why I can stand on the water with chakra, and some things get used to it slowly.

——By the time I found out, I could even climb with one hand.

Soon, I was almost at the top, but that was also the hardest part.Because the water flow here is tightly attached to the rock wall, the originally wide river above suddenly becomes narrow at the mouth of the waterfall, and countless turbulent rivers gather together and vent down from this breakthrough.

Under the accumulated water flow, the rocks nearby have also become smooth and round, wet and greasy, and difficult to grasp.

I was completely submerged in the water, and I could only hold my breath against the powerful impact and move inch by inch while climbing the rock.

It's almost there.

I raised my head and looked up, and through the blurred curtain of water, I saw an open, blue sky and white clouds that seemed close at hand.

I inadvertently glanced aside, but found a crow standing on a rock not far from me at the top of the waterfall, looking at me with its head tilted.

Would the crow sit idle on a rock jutting out of the water?

I was startled suddenly, and the crow didn't seem to expect that I would suddenly look up at it, and froze there in a daze, looking at me across the rushing water. The crow's eyes were scarlet and clear. It clearly depicts three Gouyu connected end to end.

I don't know if it was for a moment or for a long time, the crow and I stared with wide eyes, with similar surprise and panic in our eyes, as if we were both frightened.

In the next second, the crow's feathers exploded, and with a shrill cry, it got up and flew away like an arrow.

"you……"

I subconsciously reached out to grab it, completely forgetting where I was, as the cold river water poured into my throat, choking me.

The waterfall knocked me off the cliff with that unstoppable force.I was caught off guard and took a sip of water, my breath was all messed up, and my ribs were burning with pain, but looking at the flying crow, I still couldn't help looking after it, and watched it disappear into the woods.

It was just such a flash of skill, and in a blink of an eye, I was hit hard by the waterfall on a big rock protruding from the bottom of the cliff.

"Cough..." My back collided with the rock, and the huge rock shattered into pieces with a crackling sound. I coughed, with water that got into my lungs, and a few drops of blood.

Damn!Itachi, you bastard!Young master was hurt by you!

This is the first time I have fallen from a waterfall in such embarrassment, and I have never even climbed for the first time when I was a child!

I crawled to the shore in embarrassment, gasping for breath, and there was a sharp pain in my ribs.

Although the ribs were not broken, two appeared to be split.

Did he really turn into a crow and come to Konoha? !Still peeking at my cultivation practice? !Still tilting your head to be cute? !

No, no, no, it's just a stupid bird, how stupid it looks, how can it be called cute.

hateful!I really want to tear that silly bird into pieces!

...you see it when you see it, why fly away.

The Chunin Exam was going on as scheduled, and the first round of playing house has passed.To be honest, I don't understand the significance of the written test that examines the ability to cheat. Do I still need to copy the mentally handicapped questions on the paper?What kind of illiterate ninjas are they?Do they really just need an elementary school instead of building some sort of chunin school, upper ninja school?While keeping up with the force value, at least take into account the IQ, right?

It's really scary. The ninjas don't pay much attention to high-IQ scientific research talents. These ninjas can only fight and kill, but the world is built by ordinary people... From this point of view, there is no need for ninjas to exist at all.

With a gloomy face, I went back and changed my clothes, dried my hair, and wrapped the cracked ribs with a bandage, only to show up at the place of the second exam a little late.

The chief examiner of the second exam was Mitarai Anko, who looked fierce and intimidated us a lot, and kept telling us that we were about to enter the forest of death, which was full of dangers, and we would die if we were not careful.

The content of the exam seems to be a bit more high-end than the first round. There are 26 groups in total. Half of them hold the Book of Heaven and half of them hold the Book of Earth. To pass the exam.In other words, only 13 groups can pass the exam at most.

The whole exam lasted for five days, and because everyone signed the life and death certificate, no one would care even if they died inside.

I was in a bad mood, and I ignored everyone along the way, and only Naruto and Sakura reluctantly responded when they greeted me. Li and his team were full of fighting spirit, especially Li, he looked very excited, not at all. Infected by the oppressive atmosphere, he became even more motivated. His shiny black hair emitted a stream of light in the sun, which was eye-catching and dazzling.

I couldn't help but glanced a few more times, and then I caused a cold snort from someone next to me.

Now I'm not in the mood to pay attention to that white-eyed young master, and walked past him without squinting, but without my provocation, he seemed to be even angrier.

A senior with white hair and glasses also greeted us with a smile. He is a pharmacist, and he deliberately approached us at the beginning of the first exam and provided us with a lot of information.

Maybe it's because of his soft and amiable appearance that people can't help but relax their vigilance. Both Sakura and Naruto have a good impression of him. Usually, I still have the intention to pretend to see what he wants to do, but it's early in the morning. No one would be happy to meet such a disgusting thing, so I simply ignored him with a stinking face.

Naruto Sakura was a little embarrassed, but Yakushi Toto didn't mind at all, smiled and walked away from me.

The exam started soon, and the examinees dispersed and chose their own entrances. When the time came, they all entered this gloomy forest of death.

The towering trees cover the sky, as if completely isolating another world, quiet and gloomy, with occasional fine sunlight seeping through the dense branches and leaves, shining on the flying dust, forming spots of light on the moss.The thick branches extend in all directions and communicate with each other, like a series of high and low staggered roads, spreading to the depths of the dark dense forest.The sound of clear birdsong came from the distant sky, making it even more empty.

As soon as I entered the forest, I secretly raised my guard.After all, there are cracks on the ribs. Although it is invisible on the surface and does not affect the action, it may become a fatal weakness in battle.

I don’t know if it was the appearance of Itachi that made me suspicious. I always felt that something was going to happen, but the original plot has long been forgotten in the dust, and there may only be some vague impressions left that make me feel uneasy.

It's just a Chunin exam. Could it be that I was also infected by everyone's serious atmosphere?It shouldn't be too dangerous.

As I thought about it, I raised my hand and pressed my ribs without any trace. The bandage was tight, but the bones were cracked, and I could still support strenuous activities.

Just in case, I also went to the ninja shop of Uchiha's house to buy a lot of things, which can be said to be a whole set of equipment.No matter how you think about it, it seems that you can deal with any unexpected situation.

Sakura and Naruto were also affected by the oppressive atmosphere in the forest and became a little nervous.

As if to prove my uneasiness, our team was watched by others at the beginning of the exam. It was only when Naruto went to the toilet in the grass, and someone tried to get close to us with a clumsy transformation technique, but that person was alone. Come here, the level is not very good, and it will be solved easily.

But bad things came to our door one after another. A sudden and strange hurricane scattered our team. I looked at Naruto who appeared in front of me in a mess, and my eyes suddenly turned cold.

Naruto, Naruto, are you so good at pretending?Why does everyone like to transform into you?
