Draw a broken branch [Comprehensive]

"Chong!"

The teeth collided with the blade, but there was a sound like metal collision.The chakra of the wind attribute was covered with the short sword in an instant, and it was cut in two with one sword.The blood from the severed head gushed out, and Mu Mingxi's eyes were cold, but he didn't dare to retreat with the slightest carelessness.This person named Orochimaru is different from the ninjas she has encountered so far. Those weird ninjutsu are strange and hard to guard against.

Sure enough, even though the head was severed, a complete Orochimaru emerged from the fallen body like a snake's slough.

What an amazing reaction ability, such a powerful chakra, and a lively body!Orochimaru licked his lips, sure enough, sure enough!He wants her!

"A Shuo, are you still okay!" Mu Mingxi was so disgusted that he almost exploded, why is this guy still dawdling!

"You're holding back! Do you think I can activate this technique if I want to!" Kuruma Shuo's forehead was covered with a pile of cold sweat, and finally finished the last seal. Two scrolls "Ninja Mirage!"

"Go!" Bai Jieyin left.

Mu Mingxi, who was out of the battle, chose pommel horse Shuo as his target, "Be careful not to fall during the relay~"

"Ah—help! I'm afraid of heights——"

When Orochimaru unlocked the illusion, the three of them had already walked away. After seeing the emblem on the ninjutsu scroll that fell aside, Orochimaru narrowed his golden snake eyes slightly, "The pommel horse clan... no wonder..."

Mirage is not an offensive illusion, it can only trap people in a certain place, making people unable to get out like facing a maze, so it is much more troublesome to solve than ordinary illusions, because it is not aimed at individuals but It is the overall surrounding environment, but even with Shukura Kurama's level, even relying on the scroll, it is already a very good result to be able to trap Orochimaru for a few minutes.

"It seems to have been thrown away." After confirming that the other party was not chasing, just in case, the three of them walked forward for a while, and went directly to the river.

"Who is that guy? He shouldn't be an examinee." After gulping down a few mouthfuls of water, Kurama Shuo finally came to his senses and sat on the shallow rocky beach. Next time, even if he ran with two feet, he didn't want Mingxi to use it. Qinggong took him! ! !

"I don't know, it shouldn't be an examinee. He wears an Otonin forehead guard, but the people on Konoha's side should have noticed that it caused such a commotion." Bai turned his head and looked at the white-haired girl beside him, "Mingxi, you Well, are you not injured? How could you fight with such a dangerous person?"

"No, I'm fine." Mu Mingxi shook his head, "I don't know either. I met Sasuke's group. They were attacked. Both Sasuke and Naruto fell into a coma. Luckily, Naruto had some skin injuries. Sasuke's injury is a bit weird, so I left Sangzi over there and prepared to come back to find you."

"If I'm not mistaken, the person who attacked Sasuke and the person who attacked me should be the same person. I heard from Sakura that his name seems to be Orochimaru?"

"Oshewan?!" Kurama Shuo raised his voice all of a sudden.Fuck!He heard it right!It turned out to be that Orochimaru! ?

"A Shuo, do you know what?" Mu Mingxi and Bai both looked towards Kurama Shuo.

Shukura Kurama couldn't care less about sitting there and resting, and couldn't help but straighten his back, "Of course! In the past, Hokage-sama had three disciples who became famous in the Ninja World War. They were called Konoha Sannin and Orochimaru. It is one of the three ninjas, but later Orochimaru was discovered by the three generations of adults secretly studying forbidden techniques, and after the Orochimaru incident was revealed, he defected from the village, and now he is an S-rank rebellious ninja!"

"S-level rebellious ninja?!" Bai was taken aback. He didn't know about the three ninjas, but those who could be rated as S-level rebellious ninja were all powerful ninjas with the ability to completely destroy more than a small country without exception.Was that person so dangerous just now?And why is Orochimaru, who is Konoha's traitorous ninja, here, and why does he want to attack Sasuke's team and Mingxi?

"Treason forbearance..." Mu Mingxi lowered her eyes slightly, she felt bad about that person, with that kind of deep malice, "Forget it, let's not delve into this matter."

"In that case, let's go to the central tower first. The chief examiner and the like should be there, and we have all the scrolls anyway, so there's no need to stay in this forest!" Knowing that it was the big snake After the pill, Shukura Kurama felt bad all over.

Mu Mingxi hesitated for a while, she was a little worried about Sasuke's situation, but staying like this might bring danger to Bai and Ashuo.

"Let's rest for a while, even if you have to hurry, you have to recover your strength." Bai saw Mu Mingxi's hesitation, and put forward a more pertinent opinion.

"Well," Mu Mingxi nodded, "I'm going to change clothes." During the fight just now, she was a little embarrassed.

"Go ahead. Let's go and see around."

Not far from the place where they rested is the river. After Baifeng patrolled around and found no one, Mu Mingxi took off his clothes and dipped in the water. The water temperature was a bit low at night, but because of the summer night Still acceptable.Mu Mingxi simply washed and took out clean clothes from his backpack to change into, sat on the rock and waited for Bai and Kurama Shuo to come back.

Wiping her wet hair, Mu Mingxi's eyes inadvertently fell on the dagger she had untied and put aside.

The fingertips slid across the cold sword, and the cold moonlight reflected on it, as if it had been tainted with a little temperature, and the sword was put into the sheath. Mu Mingxi lowered his eyes and quietly held the black scabbard in his hand. pair.

Zhishui... What the hell are you...

"Little girl." Sangzi said, waking up Sakura who accidentally fell asleep.

"You, you, you, you can talk!" Haruno Sakura was also surprised, subconsciously stretched out her finger and pointed at the big blue cat that had been squatting on the side without moving, and did not know when the cat stood on top of her head. It's a bird with a bunch of goose yellow feathers on its head, covered in white and with long tail feathers.

"Of course." Sang Zi, who received Bai Feng's message, knew what happened to Mu Mingxi, well, he knew that it would be better to go to the central tower first, this kid was not injured at all, and it would be useless if Yu Chengbai came, But the curse mark on this kid's neck looks a bit like [Sen Luo] "Don't sleep, someone is here."

"Huh?" As soon as Sangzi finished speaking, Haruno Sakura heard a rustling voice from behind, and Sakura grabbed the shuriken in fright, "Enemy?!"

"No, it's just a squirrel." In fact, Sangzi didn't quite understand why the pink-haired girl had to face the tree hole with her back. Wouldn't it be very dangerous the first moment the enemy came?

"..." Is she being despised by a cat... Xiaoying turned her head, and it was just as Sangzi said, the one who ran close was only a squirrel, she was too nervous...but seeing that squirrel When she was about to approach the trap she set last night, Sakura hurriedly threw out the kunai in her hand, stopping the squirrel from moving forward.

"So! The enemy you mentioned is this squirrel!" Sakura looked at Sangzi dissatisfied, frightening her to death.

The big blue cat squatted on the ground with four short paws, and the silver cat pupils in the crescent-shaped eyes stared at Haruno Sakura faintly, grinning, "How is it possible, you should be prepared, three days are coming!" Personally, which group should it be?" However, these three people probably didn't come to grab the scroll, with such killing intent.

Sure enough, not long after the squirrel ran away, three people walked out from the bushes not far away. They were the three Otonin who had met in the first Chunin exam before.

"It's a really clumsy trap, can you tell it at a glance with this kind of cover?" Sac immediately discovered the trap that Sakura had set in the open space, and looked at them with a look of wariness holding Kunai with a mocking look. Haruno Sakura of the three.

Sangzi raised her eyes and looked up at her head, "Wake up quickly, stupid bird, my head is not your nest!"

Bai Feng reluctantly opened his eyes, spread his wings and stretched humanely, his paws under his feet rudely scratched the fur of Sangzi's cat in a mess.

"Hey, wake up Sasuke, we want to fight him!"

"Who the hell are you! What's the purpose? I know there's a man named Orochimaru behind you!" Haruno Sakura looked at the three people in front of her angrily, "What is that strange mark on Sasuke's neck..."

"Stop talking, little girl with pink hair." Sang Zi cast a sidelong glance at Haruno Sakura, alas~ how could anyone leak all the information about him all at once?

"Who knows, what that lord thinks." Toss said lazily, but there was a killing intent in his eyes.

"However, since you have said so, we can't just ignore it, let's get rid of you all here." Sac clenched his fists, and it's better that fewer people know about Master Orochimaru, "Jin, you Go deal with that woman, I'll take care of Sasuke and the remaining two yellow-haired boys."

Looking at the three Otonin who jumped up and came this way, Haruno Sakura calmly cut off the thin steel cables around her. The trap on the ground was originally used to lure the enemy, and she laid the real trap on it!

"Get away, little girl, that kind of trick can't be used against these three people." Sang Zi looked at Bai Feng who was on the side, "Hurry up, otherwise, what are you doing here?"

Bai Feng glared at Sangzi unhappily, don't squat down and talk without back pain!Don't you just move your mouth too?Bullying it can't speak, right?

"Let's go, let's go, let's go, go." Sangzi stretched out his claws and pushed Baifeng, grinning like a fake.

Sure enough, the three of Otonin easily destroyed the bush trap in the air, but what greeted them was a big ball of fire!

"What! Fire escape technique?" The three of Otonin were stunned, and they had to avoid the rushing heat wave.

Haruno Sakura looked at the white bird flying in mid-air in shock, it was amazing!

Sangzi narrowed his eyes slowly, although he was small, this child was only a phoenix after all.But then again, judging by the longevity of the Phoenix Clan, it may take hundreds of years to see this child grow up_(:зゝ∠)_

"Don't be in a daze, little girl, there is no way to protect these two people who are in a coma right now, hurry up and hold on to your weapon, isn't this your companion?" Sangzi was still calm and unhurried. tune.

Haruno Sakura was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized.His eyes suddenly became firm, yes, this is her team!It's her companion!Whether that snow-white bird or the big blue cat, they are always just help brought by others, and she wants to protect her companion by herself!

Early the next morning, the three members of Asuna's class arrived at the central tower of the Death Forest. They were the third group to arrive. Before them, the three members of Shayin and three of the nine newcomers this year arrived. the red class.

Except for the Chunin in charge, the command tower was empty.The three of Mu Mingxi found a secluded place to sit down and wait quietly, resting.After eating something, Kurama Shuo dug out a blanket and found a corner and fell asleep, oh my god, pity he was worried all night QAQ!

Bai also rested against the wall.

Baifeng flew back at noon the next day, and Sangzi came back shortly thereafter.

"How about it?"

"What can I do, but there seems to be something wrong with that kid Sasuke." Sangzi wagged his tail, "It should be said that the curse mark on his neck seems to be not right."

"Curse seal?"

"Well, it's that strange scar. I feel a bit similar to Baidi's [Sen Luo]. But that Sasuke's curse seal itself seems to have a strong chakra in it, as if it sealed some kind of forbidden It is better to seal it as soon as possible." Sangzi said, looking at Mu Mingxi who was a little distracted, "What about you? Baifeng said that you fought against the person who gave Sasuke the seal gone?"

"I'm fine, he didn't come after me."

Sangzi didn't answer, looking at the somewhat abnormal white-haired girl, narrowing her silver cat pupils, "Let's go, girl." That person will focus on Sasuke Uchiha and this girl, just because of a pair of Sharingan and Mingxi. The immortal body that he is carrying, but Sangzi is not worried about Mu Mingxi, but the little ghost of the Uchiha family who is dominated by hatred. People who are in hatred are the most easily lost existence.

"Ah."

On the morning of the fifth day of the Zhongnin exam, Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, and Haruno Sakura's Kakashi class were lucky enough to catch up and become the last group to successfully advance.

So far, there are eight groups in total, and 24 people have successfully advanced. It is worth mentioning that nine newcomers are fully qualified.For the 78 contestants, such a pass rate is considered to be high in the Chunin exams of all dynasties.

After the last group was assembled, all qualified candidates were summoned to the first floor of the communication tower.Except for the Chunin who was in charge of the Chunin Exam, the special chief and the coaches of each team were present, Mu Mingxi didn't expect the Third Hokage to appear here.

"Next, let me tell you the true meaning of the Chunin Exam." The third Hokage took off the pipe in his mouth, "Why do the Allies hold the Chunin Exam together? The friendship between the Allies improves each other's level This is just one of them, but I hope you don't misunderstand its true purpose."

"Speaking of this exam, it is the epitome of the war between the Allies." The Third Hokage swept across everyone in the audience with a torch-like gaze, taking a panoramic view of everyone's surprised or indifferent expressions, and said in an orderly manner, "Looking at the past history, you will understand, Today's allies have been rival neighbors in the past."

"In order not to waste unnecessary combat power and to avoid the situation where the snipe and the clam fight for the fisherman's benefit, the countries chose this place for battle. This is the real reason for the selection of the Chunin Exam."

"Why does it have to be like this! Isn't the exam just for the selection of Chunin!" Naruto was a little puzzled, why the good Chunin exam was given such a heavy meaning.

"Indeed, one of the purposes is to select ninjas with Chunin strength, but on the other hand, it is also a place for ninjas who bear the prestige of the country to fight with all their strength." Third Hokage replied calmly, ninjas have never been gentle Occupation, each ninja bears not only his personal life, but also the glory of a village and the prestige of a country. "For the third exam, we will invite the big names and famous people from all over the world who entrust us to work. By then , the daimyo and ninja leaders who master each ninja village will watch your battle."

"That is to say, powerful countries will gain more trust and receive more entrustments, while countries that are judged as weak will have corresponding reductions in entrustments. At the same time, it also threatens neighboring countries, thereby achieving diplomatic pressure. pressure effect."

In the final analysis, it's just the jungle of the jungle, Mu Mingxi pouted.

"Then why are we fighting desperately?!" Inuzuka Fang didn't understand, did their exams become something for others to watch?

"Because in the final analysis, those who entrust us with the task hope that the task will be successful, so the stronger the ninja who completes the task, the easier it is for them to achieve their desired goal, and it is worth the reward they paid." Mu Ming Xi blinked his eyes. You must know that for all released tasks, regardless of success or failure, the deposit will not be refunded. The higher the level of the task, the higher the cost. , The gains outweigh the losses, right? "And ninjas, only when they fight desperately will they show their full strength."

"You!" Inuzuka Ya looked in surprise at the white-haired girl with an indifferent face standing obliquely behind him.

this is the truth.

"That's right, the strength of the country is the strength of the ninja village, and the strength of the ninja village is the strength of the ninjas. This exam is the time to show the strength of the country. Because of this, the ancestors took the exam with the dream of 'this is worth striving for'!"

This habit of balancing by killing is the true friendliness of the ninja world.

"Then before the third test... I will preside over the preliminaries to select the ninjas who will actually enter the third test." Moonlight Galewind coughed and stumbled to finish the sentence.It made people suspect that he would fall down in the next second.

"Because there will be a lot of guests coming to the third exam, and the time is limited...so, the number of participants must be reduced. The preliminary round will start immediately...but the next exam will be single-person...if you feel unwell or For other reasons, you can leave now..."

"Sasuke..."

"Don't mind your own business, Sakura..."

Mu Mingxi turned his head to look at Sasuke and Sakura who were arguing, and saw Sasuke's hand covering his neck.

"jingle--"

"Let him participate, it will be fine." A silver bell was smashed on Sasuke's head, and the white-haired girl looked at him and smiled. "I lent you this, but you must return it to me immediately after the qualifiers."

"Mingxi..." Sakura looked at Yucheng Mingxi in disbelief, why, Sasuke was in such a situation and forced him to fight.

"Ah, I see." Although he didn't know what the bell was, Sasuke immediately felt a lot more relaxed after that, and the pain from the curse mark was also reduced to almost nothing.

"Give it back to me immediately after the game." Mu Mingxi emphasized again.

"You're so wordy, I understand." Sasuke glanced at his little friend speechlessly, then turned to Haruno Sakura, "I know my own situation, so don't do unnecessary things."

"Sakura is worried about you! You idiot!" Hearing Sasuke's fierce tone to Sakura, people couldn't help it, "But what is that?"

"Temporary things for emergency use." Mu Mingxi glanced at the names of the first group of opponents that appeared on the electronic screen, and sure enough, Sasuke was arranged to appear in the first group.Cai Luoluo followed the crowd to the corridors on both sides.

"Is that okay, give him the bell, what about you?" Bai looked at Mu Mingxi worriedly, the bell could not be taken off casually, he remembered that Mingxi had always carried it and never took it off.

"Ten minutes should be no problem." The [Spirit Scroll] was sealed inside the bell. With the complete integration of internal force and chakra, Mu Mingxi awakened the body of a fairy, which is different from the chakra of the fairy art that needs to be accumulated through practice. The mixture of Mu Mingxi's own chakra and internal force has completely transformed into something with the same nature as the fairy chakra, but it is difficult for Mu Mingxi, who has not yet reached home in practice, to control this power.

However, the difference between this situation and the cultivation of fairy chakra is that it leads to a consequence, that is, the power of nature from the outside will start to pour into Mu Mingxi's body spontaneously, and it is very painful to wear down those impurity and mottled power. Things, and those forces don't care whether you can bear it or not.

The [Lingjuanshu] itself is a sealing technique, which can selectively open a layer of barriers inside and outside the human body, thereby helping Mu Mingxi completely isolate those forces and only use his own power. The curse seal of Sasuke brought a great burden on Sasuke because it ate away at Sasuke's own ability, and the barrier created by the [Spirit Scroll] could completely help him isolate the burden brought by that curse seal.

Asuna Yucheng approached her class and saw that everyone was intact, so she was relieved. It was great to see them still so energetic, "It seems that you are resting well, and you have to work harder next time!"

"Ah, no problem."

They arrived at the Central Tower three days earlier and got a full rest. Compared with those teams who arrived on the fourth and fifth days, they had an advantage.

"The game has begun."

After getting rid of the shackles of the curse mark, the battle between Sasuke and the Konoha ninja wearing sunglasses went smoothly.

"That man named Kai seems to have weird moves." Bai Ningshen paid attention to the battle between the two, obviously he was knocked to the ground by Sasuke, but after being touched by him, it was Sasuke who couldn't stand up.

"Probably something like the ability to absorb the opponent's chakra or physical strength." Mu Mingxi sat on the railing, but these shouldn't be a problem for Sasuke.

In about 5 minutes, Sasuke successfully dealt with his opponent, looked up and saw a white-haired girl with light blue lotus leaf sleeves sitting on the railing with her feet hanging outside, pulled off the bell tied to her wrist, and threw it up "Back to you."

"Really, then you have to be careful." Mu Mingxi raised his hand to pick up the bell, raised the corners of his mouth, and looked at Uchiha Sasuke with a smile.

How could it be... The bell that sealed the [Spirit Scroll] was seven feet away from Sasuke, and a burst of severe pain suddenly hit, almost making Uchiha Sasuke lose his feet and fall, but fortunately his guide Kamishinobu Hagika Cassie immediately appeared behind him, and leaned on him lightly with her hand to help him stabilize his figure.

"Hehe~ I told you it's only for emergency use, idiot Sasuke." Mu Mingxi laughed while shaking the bell on his fingertips, in exchange for the undisguised glaring of his little friend!

——You did it on purpose!

——Come hit me~

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Gai Luoluo in the corridor speechlessly, and followed Hatake Kakashi to leave.At this time, the list of the second group of opponents appeared on the electronic screen.

Saku of sound ninja vs Shino of oil girl of Konoha.

Mu Mingxi felt that someone was looking at him all the time, so he turned his head and met a pair of beautiful emerald eyes, Sakura?

But the latter quickly turned his eyes away, not looking at her.

Beggar Luoluo couldn't help but have a black question mark on her face, that look of disappointment, what's wrong?Mu Mingxi looked at Bai, who shook his head, how could he know what the little girl was thinking.

"I remember the oil girl clan, it seems to be the one that controls bugs, right?" Hearing such a name, Kurama Shuo felt inexplicably familiar.

"Hey! So many bugs!" Mu Mingxi looked at a wave of small black bugs approaching Sak, and hugged his arm at once, oh my god, goosebumps came up!

"Are you still afraid of this? I saw that you didn't even blink your eyes when you hit cockroaches." Kuruma Shuo couldn't help complaining.

"Fuck you! There are only a few cockroaches!" Mu Mingxi raised his hand to hit him, but An Mashuo immediately begged for mercy, just joking, would he still be able to take the exam intact after being slapped by this aunt!Cai Luoluo cast a contemptuous look at Kurama Shuo, how can this be compared!Seeing this amount is stressful!In such a situation, she would probably ask Bai Feng to burn all the bugs up!

In the second exam, Yume Shino wins!

Seeing the white-haired girl turn around and fight with her teammates, Haruno Sakura couldn't help but look over again, and finally thought about going to the bathroom to wash her face to wake up.

"Ah, isn't this Sakura! You have a sad face, are you scared?"

Hearing the familiar voice and looking at the beige-blonde long-haired girl reflected in the mirror, Haruno Sakura immediately entered the battle preparation mode, but the beautiful face of the white-haired girl flashed in her mind for a moment, and she died down again. He and Ino are arguing over something, the person Sasuke likes is obviously Mingxi...

It was unprecedented that Sakura did not refute, which made Ino stunned for a while.

"Sasuke...Sasuke likes Mingxi, right..."

"What are you talking about!" Ino frowned, not understanding why Sakura suddenly wanted to get involved with Mingxi.

"Because! Because Sasuke is special only to Mingxi!" Recalling that Sasuke's attitude towards Mingxi was completely different from hers before, only when facing that person, Sasuke would, would be like that, be intimate... …

"That's just because Mingxi grew up with Sasuke!" Ino didn't care. In her opinion, Mingxi and Sasuke were just a few of Sasuke's friends, and their previous relationship was normal among friends. It's just a gag, "Besides, Mingxi already has someone he likes! Don't blame others for your incompetence!"

"Hey! You mean that Xi has someone he likes? How is it possible..."

"Why should I lie to you!" Ino paused as soon as the words came out, no, why did she tell this wide forehead about it, damn it! (〃>皮<) She should let this wide forehead continue to misunderstand, and then quit!

Forget it, that's not going to win!Ino snorted coldly, turned and left.

Mingxi does have someone he likes, but Ino doesn't know who that person is, he just guesses vaguely that that person is probably the one who gave Mingxi the dagger.

Maybe Mingxi didn't realize it herself, but when she looked at the dagger, her eyes were gentle and unbelievable.

The author has something to say: Before the candy is delivered, the glass slag is shocking_(:зゝ∠)_

By the way - high sweet warning! ! ! !
