Living in a high-risk world

After reacting, the ninjas from other countries who saw this scene on the spot or on TV felt like they were simply showing their strength to the outside world in disguise!

Thinking about the series of undercurrents on the mainland in the past few years, there are inevitably traces of Konoha's manipulation.

Even if the circulation of revolutionary propaganda books is restricted, it still cannot stop the infiltration of information through various channels. Nowadays, among ordinary people in many countries, young people's calls for change have become louder and louder.

Almost anyone with a little foresight can foresee that this continent is about to change. The old system that has been maintained for nearly a thousand years can no longer meet people's vision. People are looking forward to a new era to lead them.

The collisions and contradictions between old and new ideas have become more and more intense day by day. Within three to five years, this continent will surely usher in a major revolutionary movement.

And at such a critical point before the storm, Konoha's Fifth Hokage suddenly used TV to show his strength to the entire ninja world. Is the intention behind this move to express threat or deterrence?

This move has caused a lot of speculation from the outside world. In fact, many people on Konoha's side are also quite confused.

Although at the meeting half a month before the Chunin exam, during the routine discussion on the arrangement of the exam room, Godai suddenly said: Since this meeting will be televised to the whole ninja world, the viewing experience of the exam process should be improved. and fun, so as to enhance the viewing experience of the audience.The complex environment of the dead forest with dense vegetation and limited vision is obviously not convenient for cameras to track, and it is also difficult to show the overall situation of the examination room to the audience.So I plan to make some changes to the examination room of the second part without reducing the difficulty.

Originally, the Zhongnin Exam was a platform for ninja villages from various countries to show their military power to daimyo and nobles, and then let all parties submit to the ninja to fight against each other, so as to observe which ninjas are noteworthy in other countries, and measure the strength of other countries.

Therefore, in the past, they also paid attention to the enjoyment of the game, so as to attract the attention of those big names and nobles, so that it is easy to get more military funds.Now the object is switched to the audience in front of the TV. If you want to attract the attention of the audience and ensure the ratings, then it will be easier to bid a high price in the next bidding, which is actually the same.

At that time, everyone thought it made sense, so Zaoyue was left to arrange a new exam venue, and a week before the exam, Zaoyue also gave a new exam explanation rule.

However, because she expressed that she wanted to leave some surprises, the specific examination room will not be officially announced until the day when the second round of examinations begins.

Then came the exam day.

According to the prior arrangements, the staff of the examination room took the candidates to an open space and waited for Wudai to make the next arrangement.

To be honest, they are also quite curious about the content of the exam that the fifth generation is preparing for, because the current scene seems to be just a simple open space.

Who knows, it turned out that she planned to use the wooden escape to create a large labyrinth building directly on the open space of the scene.

Fortunately, in these years, the ninjas who have worked in Konoha for a long time have long been used to the amazing moves made by the five generations out of whimsy from time to time.

After regaining consciousness, the staff of the examination room quickly began to follow the new rules that had been explained earlier, requiring the candidates to hand over all the weapons, ninja equipment, and dry food on their bodies.

In this way, it is inevitable that some candidates will have objections.

But soon, they saw a staff member unfold a sealing scroll to the ground, and a pile of weapons and equipment appeared immediately.

"Okay, next, line up according to the ranking of the first round of exam results, and choose one item in turn as your initial equipment."

At this time, some candidates gradually realized that the labyrinth building still has initial equipment... Isn't this like the game they played on the computer in the hotel a few days ago!

Those who noticed this began to whisper to their teammates, and deliberately chose those that were more practical when choosing weapons.

Even so, it is not difficult for everyone to find that the quality of the initial equipment provided by these organizers is not very good.But all the candidates are still calm, waiting for the examiner to explain the detailed rules.

Sure enough, when the examiner gave further details, the candidates found that the rules were indeed similar to RPG adventure games.

In the next five days and five nights, treasure boxes containing supplies will be randomly distributed in the maze. All the supplies they need, weapons, wound medicine, ninja tools, food... can only be obtained by exploring in the maze.

Then they must go to the tenth floor within these five days, otherwise they will be eliminated.

After explaining the general rules, the [-] teams that successfully passed the first round of the preliminary test began to be ranked according to the total score, and the teams stood in the teleportation array at the entrance one by one.

Through this teleportation array, they were randomly teleported to various places in the maze on the first floor.

As the first team teleported in, it also meant that the second round of exams had officially begun.

Thirty teams were teleported to various parts of the maze.

With luck, it didn't take long to find a treasure chest in the vicinity and get new equipment and supplies.

But there are also those who are unlucky. The birth point happens to be near the mechanism, so they have just entered the maze, and they have to start fighting immediately without much preparation.

And, I thought I was lucky enough to find the treasure chest, but what I actually found was a treasure chest monster disguised as a treasure chest.

In addition to various mechanisms, there are also monsters made of wooden escapes in the maze, such as wooden men, mechanism beasts, etc., plus some exotic plants brought back from the new world.

Although the front and back of the maze passage are clear at a glance, it seems easier to observe the surrounding environment than the death forest, but in fact it also tests the candidates' abilities in various aspects.

And as the number of floors increases, the difficulty of the maze also increases, and there will be more traps such as secret rooms connected by hidden teleportation arrays. However, if you are lucky, the other end of the teleportation array may not be a secret room, but let people go directly. Upper channel.

……

in front of the TV.

Following the appearance of a large labyrinth building, which instantly attracted the attention of many ordinary viewers, with the announcement of the rules for the second round of examinations, this time completely mobilized the audience's interest in watching.

Especially when they are in front of the TV, the cameras of the TV station can basically watch the overall layout of the maze.Therefore, they have a certain understanding of the whereabouts of the candidate team.

Audiences from different countries naturally tend to favor ninjas from their own country, so unconsciously, they pay attention to the performance of candidates from their own country in the maze. Whenever they see them flustered because they touched the mechanism, the audience becomes nervous , and seeing them successfully find the treasure chest, they couldn't help being excited along with them.

It can be said that I was quite absorbed in watching it, until the camera returned to the two hosts in the broadcast room, the audience watching in front of the TV were still unsatisfied, thinking about how it was time for the commercial again so soon.

For example, Naruto was originally eating yakiniku at a yakiniku restaurant with Choji and the others.

"Why wasn't it so fun when we took the Chunin Exam!!!"

Naruto said madly, he regretted why he did not take the Chunin exam again a year later, but he passed the exam last year and was promoted to Chunin.

"Naruto, if you don't want to eat, don't waste it, let me help you solve it."

However, Choji, who was opposite him, only focused on meat.

"Who said I wouldn't eat it! Hey! Wait, Choji, don't move your chopsticks so fast!"

Regarding the noise in his ear, Shikamaru muttered, "It's really going to be troublesome if we take the exam this year..."

But after talking about it, I thought about it, and felt that maybe it would be good to delay the participation until this year.

As for the host on the screen at this time.

"A few teams had a bad start, and they triggered the mechanism from the very beginning. Fortunately, the strength of the ninjas is not bad, and the difficulty of the mechanism on the first floor cannot stop them. After responding quickly, they all They have left the scope of the agency one after another. For example, the team A from the Land of Rain that we just captured in the camera on the lower right, although they also fell into the trap at the beginning, Team A deserves to be ranked among the top five in the first round. The team escaped in less than 15 minutes and successfully found the treasure chest. Speaking of which, it is said that Ms. Yukie's movie to be released next month was filmed in the Land of Rain, right?"

"Yes, it's a sci-fi movie. Although many movies have been made, this is the first time I've seen a sci-fi movie!"

"That's really exciting! Before the commercial time is about to enter, Ms. Yukie, would you mind revealing part of the plot of the movie?"

"Actually, this movie has the original novel, it's called "Silent Forest". The second part will be released together with the movie next month. It roughly describes that in the future world, due to the indiscriminate use of lethal weapons by humans, wars are frequently launched, and eventually As a result of land pollution, crops can no longer grow. Then on the wasteland after the war, the remaining human beings built cities like steel forests, and used technology to transform the human body to adapt to the harsh environment."

"It sounds very thought-provoking. As far as I know, the Land of Rain was often used as a battlefield and a buffer zone for great power wars in the past. Due to the long-term turmoil in the country affected by the war, many families were destroyed and a large number of war orphans were born. Perhaps the author created such a novel based on this history, hoping to make people reflect on it.”

"Yeah, after reading the first novel, I felt that it is great to be able to live in this peaceful age. You must cherish your present life!"

"Hearing what you said, I think it's necessary to support the original novel again."

"Don't forget to support the movie too! Then it's commercial time, let's see you in 5 minutes~"

……

Although the rules do not prohibit snatching or attacking other opponents, no teams are currently confronting each other head-on.

Firstly, the teams are scattered, and secondly, it is because they are not familiar with the situation in the maze. Not much weaponry.In the absence of conflicts of interest, each other avoids attrition, and at most they will use the mechanisms discovered by one's own side to deceive opponents.

In the monitoring room, except for the examiner on site, the rest of the examiners are in the monitoring room. Through the monitoring screens captured by the cameras in the maze on the big screen, they are observing the situation inside without blind spots.

"Playing is still the fifth generation's ability to play."

Facing the various settings and layouts in the maze, even the well-informed examiners couldn't help expressing their admiration at this moment.
