Remnant bones

Chapter 146

Just by looking at my face, no matter how reckless Hong Dou is, she can sense something is wrong.It's just that she doesn't understand, what is the other party worried about?

The name "Death Forest" seems scary, but in fact, for most Chunin and Jonin, it is not a Jedi that can only enter and not exit.But there are more bugs, taller trees, harder roads, and more ferocious mutated creatures inside... As long as you are careful enough, all you need is time for a graduated ninja to come out of it. .

After all, it is a practice field. This semi-artificial forest with the largest area in Konoha used to be a private land belonging to a family in Konoha that has declined.Since there are no descendants of its direct lineage and collateral lineage, and the land contract has been missing for many years, the upper level of Konoha classified the land and circled the barbed wire as an advanced multi-terrain survival training ground for ninjas who have left school.

As she said, the central tower, as the center of the entire training ground, is not only a place for rest and integration during training, but also a monitoring center for the entire training ground.Although there is no guarantee that there are no flaws, most of the fields are under the surveillance of the central tower. What's more, the second exam is about "survival" and has the maximum number of deaths. The safety of the candidates is not the responsibility of the organizer. Inside.

Candidates with half of the scrolls on their bodies, the real threat of death that the "death forest" can give them is very limited. Instead of worrying about those poisonous insects and beasts, the ninjas who are also candidates... are their worst enemies.

Compared with the originally scheduled examination room "trap plain", the terrain of the forest is more varied, which is conducive to hiding, ambush, and sneak attack. You don't have to worry about stepping on any unknown lethal objects with your feet. At the same time, the standing equipment of Konoha Ninja is reduced. consume.As the one who spent so much time persuading three generations to agree to change the venue and use the 44th training ground, she deserves the due praise~ This is much more interesting than the original boring place.

Hongdou finished teasing the little golden-haired fox who was not pleasing to the eye, and sat on the top of the temporary shed to enjoy the cool air.Looking at the examination team who are coming to collect the scrolls in twos and threes in the order of the list, the only remaining descendant of the Uchiha family, the murderous gourd kid, the genius collateral of the Hyuga clan, er, it is said that the eldest lady of the main family is also a newcomer this year, plus the new The trio of pigs, deer and butterflies from the first generation... and Kusanagi with the big tongue just now, this year's candidates are really interesting!

It's a pity that there is still some time before the official exam, and she, the chief examiner, yawned idly: "Hurry up and start the exam~"

Speaking of which, where did Kaguya, who was staring at him just now, go?

It was strange that his main object of avoidance had disappeared without a sound.While Hongdou was greatly surprised, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.The other party could not be called rigid, but he was known as a strict party. When she decided to change the venue, she should have notified the accompanying examiner first, but subconsciously relied on her instinct to bypass that person alone.

She was inexplicably afraid of it, and always felt that her proposal would be opposed and rejected by the other party.Anyway, the third generation should not refuse, so she simply came to "cut first and then play", and dragged that big guy Yibixi as a shield ~ wait until "cook raw rice to mature rice", hehe...

However, she didn't blame her at all... When did the other party become so talkative?She thought that the other party would be mad, and even adjusted the place to escape~ Hongdou was lucky, but her nature of stimulating things made her a little bit disappointed.In addition to the waiting before the start of the exam, uh, she wants to eat meatballs~ "Do you want to eat?" Just as she was thinking, a huge food box came down in front of her, exuding the familiar sweetness that was never unfamiliar.

"Meatballs!" Hongdou embraced her with bright eyes, opened the food box, picked up a string of soft glutinous rice balls, and stuffed them into her mouth.Squinting her eyes and holding her cheeks in happiness, she waited for a bunch of meatballs to eat before she raised her head in response. The expressionless and stern face scared her to almost choke to death on the meatballs.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Holding her throat in pain, Hongdou burst into tears, and she didn't know whether she was choked or frightened.

"...red bean soup." Resisting the urge to roll my eyes, I sighed silently, and attached a bowl of red bean soup.

Ganqing meatballs can also be used as a murder weapon... It's a pity that I didn't plan to go to the torture team to eat cornbread as a guest, especially because the boss there had just been brushed by me.

"Ugh~huh..." When half a cup of red bean soup went down, the red bean felt comfortable, but as long as she faced the face in front of her, she always had the urge to choke to death...Of course, before that, she had to first Get rid of all the meatballs, there is no string left!

Speaking of which, this meatball...

Remembering who brought the meatballs, Hongdou struggled: "Well, Kaguya...uh, thank you for the meatballs..." This face really doesn't go well with sweets.

"You're welcome." Anyway, the meatball shop is not far from here, and the meatballs with added ingredients were originally bought for her.There was no sign of "bad intentions" that had done bad things on my face, I ignored the weird twist at the corner of Hongdou's mouth, and glanced at the candidates who were gradually scattered away with the guide.

Although there is no guarantee that Orochimaru will appear in person, and I have not figured out what purpose he has other than the third generation, just because the "Death Forest" was selected as the examination room, I had to give up the vacation that came with the second examination and personally take a trip.

As for the relationship between red beans and Orochimaru, Kakashi and the others who knew about it never mentioned it, but the third generation is in charge of this part of the information. In order to prevent my acquaintance with Orochimaru from being discovered, I can only give up the idea of ​​​​going deeper... ...However, just from the curse mark on her neck, which is definitely not unfamiliar, I can guess the general idea.

I can't let her get in my way... I looked around and couldn't figure out why, so I just didn't want to concentrate on eating the red beans, and I jumped down.

"Huh? Where are you going, Kaguya?" Sensing the departure of the person beside her, Hongdou felt a lot more at ease, but she habitually asked while biting her ball.

"I'll go to the central tower first, see you later." Taking advantage of my status, I signaled the doorman to unlock it, and I responded, but I didn't lie.It's just that before going to the central tower, I have to go to another place...

The curse seal is based on the soul fragment of Orochimaru as an introduction.The earliest generation of curse seals, due to the incompleteness of the technique, the larger the size of the fragments, correspondingly, the stronger the induction to the main body.And Orochimaru's body is placed in the secret room of the "Death Forest", not to mention whether the fragment on the red bean will react to the original body, plus another living "amplifier"...Since taking In order to get paid, my "nanny" naturally has to do my duty.

What's more, "that" must not let Orochimaru find out...now is not the time.

I heard the "click" sound of the guard locking the iron door again, and I was about to take a step when an inexplicable palpitation made me turn around subconsciously.

"What's the matter?" Carefully put away the unfinished meatballs, jumped off the red bean who was about to announce the exam time, and asked strangely.

"...It's nothing." Is it because I'm too sensitive...Slowly narrowing my eyes, although it was only a moment, I can tell who the line of sight came from.

Sure enough, he came...

"If you have nothing to do, let's go quickly~ The exam will start in 10 minutes, and then the forest will be lively!" Hongdou waved his paws and muttered excitedly: "Ah~ If the surveillance video is all-round That's good, I don't know if there will be a good show to watch..."

"I'm leaving." Don't stay any longer, even if you know he is there, then you can't face him face to face.Turning around and disappearing in the depths of the dark forest, after I made a false appearance within the surveillance range that was enough to delay time and cover my tracks, I only picked dead ends and went to my destination.

The entrance to the secret office is still the same as it was left before.I took out the "key" that I usually wear next to my body, and I was about to open the door after making sure no one was following me, when a raven with bright red pupils flapped its wings and landed on my shoulder.

"Itachi?" Unable to hide my surprise, I turned my head sideways, met those extremely familiar eyes, and slowly raised the corners of my lips.

The black bird nodded humanely, then soared into the sky.The original clear outline gradually blurred, and after the vision was distorted by the refraction of light, a familiar black-haired figure floated to the ground.

In the blood-colored eyes, there is something like Mo Gouyu, which can be vaguely seen.

Nodding to me, Itachi hesitated for a moment, then called softly: "...Mr."

"Yeah." Involuntarily softening my tone, I responded, and leaned over to kiss the corner of his lips according to my usual habit, even though I knew that what I was facing... was just a projected shadow: "Yes" Body'...haven't finished Xiao's mission yet?"

Similar to the shadow clone, except that the mental body is the main one.The biggest advantage of this technique is that it consumes less CKL, lasts for a long time, and can be transformed into an entity, possessing nearly 50% of the body's strength.The disadvantage is that the time to exert that 50% strength is less than 5 minutes, and it will cause the death of the medium, which is equivalent to interrupting ninjutsu.

And that raven was one of Weasel's summoned beasts.

He usually appears in his own form, and rarely uses ninjutsu such as avatar.Once I use it, it's either because I'm too far away, or I'm stuck in a mission, and no matter what the situation is, it will make him come to me in a hurry... It's usually not a good thing.

But even so, being able to spend more time together is a good thing for me, no matter what form it takes.

Already used to this kind of meeting kiss, the Itachi has already been able to return the kiss without changing his expression.It was just about the content of the conversation, but he didn't say it right away: "Go inside."

I raised my eyebrows, turned around and opened the door, and locked it after someone went in: "Let's talk now, what's the matter?"

"What game is it?" Before confessing, Itachi asked first.

"The second round should have just started." I found the only chair in the organized laboratory, I sat down, and then waved for him to sit on my lap...but he was ignored.

This has become a common occurrence for me, so I simply used force to hold the other party into my arms like every time before, with Kunai on my chin, but I still didn't want to let go at all and said calmly: "Hongdou took the exam room Temporarily changed to 'Back Garden', I'm here to set up a hidden barrier."

Breaking free + threatening to no avail, Itachi had to withdraw Kunai and turn to the main topic: "Akatsuki's informant provided information, saying that there have been unknown forces gathering around Konoha recently..." At this point, he paused before continuing Said: "Is Orochimaru here?"

"Well, I confirmed it just now." Although I didn't meet my face, I won't admit my mistake.

"Oshemaru's plan deviates from the prototype of the plan you said at the beginning. According to the information I got, his goal is not only the third generation, but also..." When mentioning that person, Itachi's usual indifferent tone revealed a trace Unfathomable sadness and worry: "Sasuke Uchiha."

"Sasuke!?" Now it's my turn to frown, how could Orochimaru notice Sasuke?

"In recent years, Orochimaru has been keen to collect the owners of various blood successors. It is rumored to find the most perfect body that can defeat Sharingan..." In the end, this is the disaster he caused Sasuke in the first place. If If you didn't use "Month Reading" back then, maybe Orochimaru wouldn't be so obsessed with Sharingan.But no matter what, it's too late to regret now: "The best way to defeat Sharingan is to have another pair of Sharingan."

Sasuke is currently the easiest to obtain, and the best target who meets the requirements of Orochimaru regardless of appearance, potential or age.

"...This is troublesome." Now I know who the three Yinnin candidates are targeting.Letting Itachi go, I stood up and said, "Go and confirm Sasuke's position first, I will follow after I open the barrier... With Orochimaru's temperament, I am afraid he has already made a move."

The weasel nodded, turned back into the form of a raven, and disappeared into the gaps in the dense branches of the dense forest.

Rolling up my sleeves, I speeded up my movements as much as possible, and now I'm busy... Fortunately, I had prepared earlier, and I didn't need to start from scratch on the enchantment.

Now I just hope that Sasuke and the others can last until we arrive.

"Hongdou chief examiner, wake up! Something serious happened!" After discovering three strangely dead bodies, the examiners of the second test hurried to the starting point of the test to find the person in charge of the test.

It's just that he has always been careless, but he is a real red bean after all, but at this time he is sleeping in a ball in the cool place holding the unfinished meatballs.Regardless of the Chunin examiners who came here, they couldn't wake up after exhausting all means. In desperation, they vaguely sensed that something was wrong but couldn't find any traces of drugging, so they had to call medical ninjas to find a way wake her up.

And no one noticed that under the food box used to hold the meatballs, a complicated sealing technique was gradually disappearing.After a while, when the medical ninja arrived, there was no trace left behind.

But this time, there was a lot of delay.

————————————————————

"Coward!" Naruto panted heavily after punching the other party hard, and finally returned the address the other party had called him back then.It's just that I didn't feel the refreshment and pride in my fantasy. Apart from disappointment, it was more a kind of anger from the heart: "The Sasuke I know is not as stupid as you...coward!"

"I don't know how strong he is... But even if we give him the scroll, will he definitely let us go?" Naruto is stupid and reckless, but he is not stupid.There are many lies and deceptions hidden behind the words. He is more sensitive than ordinary people, and he is also more aware of the cruelty and changeability of reality... This made him, for the first time, aware of the enemy's trap earlier than Sasuke: "I see because You are the one who is afraid and does not understand the situation!"

The fear brought about by the disparity in power and the desire to become stronger made Sasuke lose his previous calmness.

Naruto's words stunned him, and Orochimaru's non-denial made him even more shocked.It's not that he doesn't know that his choice is right, and he also knows that Naruto's words are unreasonable. If it was in the past, he would definitely defend his point of view and refute it... But now, he hesitated.

When the strength is no match for the opponent, it is the most sensible choice to exchange benefits for one's own safety, but is this the choice Uchiha Sasuke should make?

... He escaped, was timid, and frightened.

Watching Naruto lose to Orochimaru, he was beaten until he vomited blood.However, he was unyielding and never flinched, attacking, attacking, attacking again...even though his body was covered with injuries, he refused to give up and take half a step back.Is this still the Wannian crane tail who failed the exam and nearly repeated the grade?

Sasuke was shaking, he knew that he should step forward to help his companion, but his stiff legs couldn't move at all.Looking at Naruto, who was almost killed by the python's mouth, erupting a powerful CKL that he had never heard of, the real reality told him... Naruto has become stronger, stronger than the chief student he is.

The facts overturned his cognition, until the short figure withstood the giant python's attack for him, in a word, it completely woke him up.

"Coward..." The images in front of him overlapped, and the clearest contempt in those blue pupils once belonged to him.But now, the positions have been reversed.

"Sasuke, save Naruto!" Before he could return to reality, Sakura's cry for help rang in his ears.

Under the unknown attack of Orochimaru, Naruto passed out completely.Kozakura could barely remember the kunai, so she reluctantly hung Naruto, who had almost fallen from a height, on the tall tree trunk.

"Sasuke! Although Naruto is not as smart as you, he often gets in the way... But at least he's not a coward! Isn't he!" Sakura, who still couldn't get a response, realized something, and cried out in a crying voice.She doesn't like the current Sasuke... No, the guy in front of her who is not even as good as Naruto is not her favorite Sasuke!

With his eyes tightly closed, his brother's sarcasm words echoed in his mind.Sasuke forced himself to look at the eyes that he had been instinctively fearing all along in his memory.When he opened his eyes again, the two teams of black gouyu spinning rapidly were extremely vivid.

If at this time, he still only blindly escapes...then he is not Uchiha Sasuke, let alone kill the man who betrayed his clan!

The fighting instinct can only be awakened in battle.

With the help of Sharingan, Sasuke's one-handed fire escape was fully displayed by Sasuke, unlike the one who made him fearful at the beginning, now he is the genius who is admired and respected by everyone, the best descendant of the Uchiha family!

"Hehehehehe..." Although his face was severely burned, it seemed that it was just a layer of Orochimaru with the skin peeled off. He smiled without any irritation, and the joy in it was obvious.

The time has come... He who no longer hides his parentage has erased the camouflage of the forehead guard, and the marks of the musical notes are clearly displayed.He is more satisfied with the body he ordered earlier than he imagined, especially those eyes.Although compared with Sangouyu's Sharingan, it is still a lot worse... But it is young and has untapped unlimited potential.

"I really want to get it... your body." There was naked desire in the golden snake eyes, Orochimaru smiled, and after leaving enough information and bait, he burned the book that once belonged to them in front of them. Half a scroll with the word "Heaven" written on it.

"My name is Orochimaru. If you still want to see me, try to pass this exam!" He made seals with his hands, and he buried the most important thing with his actions amid the unhesitating rejection of the other two brats. A "seed"...well, just a little bit.

"Hey, Orochimaru..." The severe pain in my left hand made me raise my brows slightly, and I tried my best to maintain my tone and said slowly: "I really don't know, except for your tongue, even your neck is so... Resilience." It was my loss that I didn't study it before I left.

Orochimaru returned to its original form, licked its sharp fangs that did not belong to humans, but was not surprised by my appearance, on the contrary, with absolute sincere joy, he said enthusiastically: —— "Jun Mai, long time no see... ...I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
