Escape From Konoha

It will be a few hours before Yiji and others return to the central control tower of the Demon Desert.

At this point in time, the sky was just getting brighter.

When returning to the central control tower area, Maji also returned with a group of Shinin from Sand Hidden.

Seeing Ichihime and others coming back, Maki couldn't wait to come up and ask: "Miss Ichihime, Mr. Kakashi, how is the situation there?"

Markey asked about Orochimaru.

A dangerous S-rank ninja with the ability to conquer small countries suddenly sneaked into the examination room of the joint Zhongnin exam. This is not a major event that can be fooled at will.

If there is a problem in one of the links, Sayin's international reputation will be completely stink.

Even if we find Orochimaru afterwards and destroy it, it won't help. What's more, Orochimaru is an S-level rebel who can get away with it in Konoha's wanted career for nearly ten years. Konoha has nothing to do with Orochimaru, and his military strength is inferior to Konoha's Sand Hidden. He wants to deal with Orochimaru It is even more impossible.

It's not that Maki is afraid of Orochimaru, but that the trace of Orochimaru is unpredictable. If you want to wipe out ninjas of Orochimaru's level, you need to dispatch a large number of elite johnin to have enough confidence to kill Orochimaru. And Orochimaru obviously wouldn't be so stupid as to fight Sand Hidden head-on alone, hiding in the Ninja World wholeheartedly, Sand Hidden could only stare blankly.

Ichihime shook her head and said, "I didn't see any trace of Orochimaru. He had already left when we passed. However, he attacked Konoha's ninja team."

Then, Ichiki glanced at Kakashi...

Maggie frowned: "The ninja team that attacked Konoha? Ms. Ichiji's could be..."

As far as he knew, there were two Churiki among the Genin who participated in the Joint Chunin Examination.

One is Gaara from their Hidden Sand Village, the son of the fourth generation of Kazekage, and also a very important tailed beast weapon in Hidden Sand Village-One-tailed Jinchuriki.

The other is Konoha's Uzumaki Naruto, who has the strongest tailed beast Nine Tails sealed inside his body, Nine Tails Jinchuriki.

According to Maki's guess, the Konoha Shinobi team attacked by Orochimaru is likely to be the team where Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is.

Kakashi said: "You guessed right, it was Naruto's team that attacked, but Orochimaru's goal was not Jinchuriki."

"Not Renzhuli?"

Mackey was taken aback.

"Yes. Orochimaru left a curse mark on my raw Uchiha Sasuke, and then left."

Kakashi replied.

"The purpose is not Jinchuriki... but the orphans of the Konoha Uchiha clan?"

Markey folded his arms over his chest, showing a thoughtful expression.

"How's the situation over there?"

Kakashi asked.

Maki put down his arms and replied: "Gara has no problem. Looking at it now, Orochimaru's purpose is indeed not Jinchuriki. But, what is his purpose of looking for Uchiha Sasuke?"

This is where Markie is puzzled.

According to the information, Orochimaru is inextricably linked to the mysterious organization that secretly hunts tailed beasts, and there are two Renzhuriki in the examination room. Logically, Orochimaru will not let go of such a good opportunity.

Could it be that the purpose of that organization is not only the tailed beast, but also want to collect the blood of the Uchiha clan?

However, no matter how you look at the blood of the Uchiha clan, it is impossible to compare it with the tailed beast in terms of value.

In Maji's view, Orochimaru's move is undoubtedly a stupid thing to pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon, and it does not conform to the purpose of that organization.

"I don't know the specifics. Now is the critical Chunin exam period. Even if you want to investigate, you can only investigate later."

Kakashi said.

"Indeed, if we don't know the purpose of Orochimaru, our actions here will become very passive. But please rest assured, I have asked Lord Kazekage to dispatch 500 elite ninjas from the village. Today It will arrive at noon, and several tight defensive circles will be formed outside the Demon Desert. Even if Orochimaru goes and returns, it is impossible to break into the examination room again."

Mackey said confidently.

"I hope so, but the midfielder only thought of dispatching reinforcements. Your Sahik's awareness of prevention is too slow. If you do this from the beginning, Orochimaru will have no chance to sneak in. Even if you sneak in, you can stop him in time Harm the examinee's behavior and capture him."

Yi Ji scolded Ma Ji with a straight face.

"What Miss Yiji said is true."

Mackey smiled bitterly.

In the final analysis, during the second exam, such a serious accident happened, and Shayin really had to bear the main responsibility.

Even knowing that it was Ichihime who was mocking Sand Yin's weakness, Maki was powerless to refute this.

Today, the forces of ninja villages in major countries have basically recovered from the sequelae of the third ninja world war. Backed by the powerful Nation of Fire and Nation of Thunder, Konoha and Yunyin have not only restored their original strength, but even expanded their armaments year by year. The number of ninjas has also increased year by year, and their military strength far exceeds that of the Third Ninja World War. This is the case even for Iwagakure and Kirigakure, who lost their strength due to internal fighting. From being severely injured to resuming production, they began to strengthen their military strength.

Only Sand Hidden is still in the recovery period.

The reason is that in the War of the Land of Wind four years ago, thousands of sand ninjas died on the battlefield, and the power that was finally recovered after the third ninja world war was wiped out. Compared with the other countries, the economy and production capacity of the Land of Winds are slightly weaker. Compared with other ninja villages, the development period of Sand Hidden Village is too short.

In this chaotic era that pays attention to one step at a time, one year ahead of the development can already open a certain gap. Sand Hidden, who has been in a slow and stagnant state for several consecutive years, is different from the military forces of the other ninja villages. , there is a certain gap.

Sand Hidden Village, which is short of manpower, needs military supplies everywhere.

In addition, the Chunin Exam was held jointly with various countries, and at the beginning, I didn't think that there would be anyone who would dare to come and cause trouble, so there was such a negligent situation.

"It's good that you know, if the third exam cannot go smoothly because of an accident in the second exam, then our military of the Ghost Kingdom will hold Sha Yin accountable for his negligence."

Kazuki's tone was still serious.

Mackey nodded grimly.

He couldn't refute Kazuki's words when he was at a loss.

What's more, if Orochimaru goes back later, he still needs to rely on Yi Ji's strength. In this case, patience is the best way.

Anyway, this is not the first time he has lost face in front of the ghost country.

As the saying goes, one is born and the other is familiar, and Markey can only try his best to make up for his previous mistakes.

"Miss Yiji, please rest assured that similar accidents will not happen again."

Regarding Maji's promise, Yiji scoffed, but then fell silent, acquiescing to Maji's meaningless promise.

◎

For the next two days, Markey lived in fear.

In order to prevent the dangerous rebellion of Orochimaru from coming back, or other accidents, he basically only slept for an hour in the last two days of the second exam, and the rest of the time was arranged for personnel to work in the magic hall. Patrol outside the desert to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

At the same time, he also wrote a letter to Konoha Village, apologizing to the Third Hokage.

Because of the negligence of Sand Yin's personnel, one of Konoha's ninja squads was attacked by Orochimaru, for which he apologized to Hokage on behalf of Sand Yin.

Although this kind of apology is meaningless, what Markey wants to show is just a good attitude among the alliance.

Similarly, a letter was also sent to the army of the ghost country, as well as the shadows of other countries, also expressing their apologies.

Fortunately, in the next two days, there were no accidents in the examination room, and the five hundred Shayin ninjas who came to support them also formed a certain deterrent force, giving Maji the confidence to deal with any accidents. The remaining two days passed without incident.

It also means that the second exam has ended successfully.

At the moment when the exam was over, Markey, who was sitting in the office, breathed a sigh of relief, and lay down with his back against the seat, feeling that he was relieved all of a sudden, and he no longer had to work hard for possible twists and turns in the exam room.

In the past two days, he only had one hour of rest time. Other than that, he was in a state of high-intensity vigilance. Even as a jonin, he couldn't hold on.

However, now is not the time to rest. As the chief examiner of the second exam, he still needs to summarize and praise the ninja team who passed the customs.

Although it is only a matter of form, Markey has to deal with it.

As long as this matter is dealt with, he can really sit back and relax.

Even if there is another accident in the examination room, it is a matter for the kingdom of ghosts to consider, and has nothing to do with sand hidden.

After all, if something unexpected happens in the second exam, he will be a jonin. Even if he wins Kazekage's trust, he will be marginalized and dispatched to work in remote areas far from the village core.

"Lord Mackey."

A female Sand Yin Churen walked in, holding a stack of documents in her arms.

"Has the customs clearance team been determined?"

Markey tried his best not to look tired.

It's nine o'clock in the morning. According to the 72-hour exam time, the end time of the second exam is seven o'clock in the morning, and it's been two hours now.

The incoming ninja team rested in the lounge in the control tower to relieve the fatigue of the exam.

"Yes, Mr. Mackey, please take a look."

The female Chunin put the document in front of Maki.

Markey picked it up, flipped through the pages one by one, and when he saw the end, his face suddenly darkened.

There is no other reason, because there is only one group for Sha Yin to clear the customs.

That is Gaara's group, and the rest of the group was wiped out. Although two teams got the Heaven and Earth Scroll, it was an hour ago when they came to the control tower, that is, the exam time had passed, so they could only be treated as unqualified.

This kind of thing does not only happen to Sand Yin, but also exists in the ninja groups of various countries.

Because the test time this time is only 72 hours, and it is still in the harsh desert environment, for ninjas who are not familiar with this environment, it is inevitable that time will be wasted for various reasons when facing it for the first time.

Mackey can understand these reasons, because it is estimated that ninjas from various countries are not very good at dealing with the desert environment.

However, there is only one Shayin team that clears the customs, which Maji never expected.

Fortunately, he is still bragging in front of Yi Ji, Sa Yin will definitely shine this time.

Although the group that passed the exam now is the strongest group in Shinobu Shinobi, it is obvious that Sa Yin's overall strength is weak, and he can't even refute it.

Because the desert environment is the most conducive environment for sand ninjas to play.

This made Maji wonder whether these Shayin Xiaren who failed to pass really came from Sand Yin Village.

Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if he performed so 'excellently' in his own home?

"..."

After reading all the customs clearance team materials, Markey fell into self-doubt.

Seemingly seeing Maji's entanglement, the female Chunin comforted: "Don't worry, Master Maji, the results of the Ghost Kingdom this time are not very good, only two teams passed."

"..."

Maki looked at the female Chunin in front of him like an idiot.

The investment of ninja is more than that of the kingdom of ghosts, but the number of teams that clear the customs is less than that of the kingdom of ghosts. Is this something worthy of celebration?

Most importantly, this is in your own home, with the most favorable environment.

"Master Machi, what's the matter with you?"

"It's nothing... I'm just feeling that there are five groups in Konoha's customs clearance..."

Markey looked at the list of teams that passed the level. There were five groups of Konoha Shinobi who passed the second test.

One of the groups was attacked by Orochimaru, the group where Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto were.

Although it was an hour before the end of the exam, he came to the central control tower with injuries all over his body, but after being attacked by Orochimaru, he was able to pass the exam. The strength of Konoha Ninja.

"However, judging from the overall clearance rate, Konoha's clearance rate in the second test is less than 30%."

The female Chunin replied.

There are 16 groups of Shinobi Konoha taking part in the second exam.

As a result, only five groups of ninjas cleared the customs, and the clearance rate is very low.

In contrast, the kingdom of ghosts who cleared the two teams is slightly better than Konoha.

"Even so, it's surprising. Konoha's talents are so outstanding in any era."

Markey sighed, expressing pessimism about Sain's future.

Once upon a time, he also secretly mocked Konoha for not being able to retain real talents.

However, Konoha's new generation of talents is too numerous to count. After leaving a group, they can pull up another group in a short period of time. The cycle is endless, and they will soon become Konoha's new pillars, burning A new will of fire.

In contrast, there are only a handful of new-generation ninjas in Hidden Sand Village who have been able to stand alone over the years.

It can be said that, except for the relatively mysterious Oni Land military, the depth of which is not known for the time being. Konoha is called the cradle of geniuses, and it is not for nothing.

Even though he was in decline, the stamina was still so strong, which made Ma Ji feel fearful and emotional at the same time.

But for now, it is a good thing to have such an ally who is becoming stronger.

After all, Konoha's aggressiveness is much lower than that of the Oni Country's military.

In the eyes of all countries, the military style of the ghost country is not much different from that of Yunyin.

It's just that the ghost country's military prefers to use evidence to hold other people's handles, and then continue to be aggressive.

"Let's let the group that cleared the customs take a short break. There is still some time before the third exam. After lunch, gather them in the hall. The rest of the groups that have not passed the exam and came here, please entertain them, don't Slack."

Markey thought it over and gave the order.

"yes."

The female Chunin nodded heavily and left the office.

Ma Ji rubbed his brows, looked at the clearance candidate documents left by the female Chunin on the desktop, but still did not fall asleep, picked up the documents vigorously, went to the conference room, and held a meeting.

◎

noon.

The ninja team that passed the second test had already had lunch here, and then, led by the person in charge of Sand Hidden, came to the central hall of the control tower.

It is the hall, which is actually a relatively large vacant room.

The lower ninjas who passed the test entered the hall one after another. The hall was empty, and the upper ninjas who were the chief examiners had not yet arrived, so the candidates who passed the customs did not care, but moved freely here.

"I didn't expect that there were so many groups that Konoha cleared the customs."

Karin was slightly surprised to see that Konoha's side had fifteen ninjas who passed the second exam.

In contrast, the army of the Ghost Kingdom, which only had two teams cleared the customs, was not so conspicuous.

"They put in more people, and naturally there will be more customs clearance personnel."

Asuka didn't pay attention, his eyes lingered on one of the Konoha ninjas for a while, and that Konoha ninja was Sasuke.

The opponent's face was pale, and the breath in his whole body was a little unstable, strong and weak at times, which made Asuka feel extremely strange.

But he didn't rush forward to ask anything. After all, Sasuke is not from the Uchiha clan from the land of ghosts. The two sides belong to different camps. If they meet at that time, he will not show mercy because of Sasuke's identity.

Because I have rested in the lounge in advance, the mental outlook of all the candidates is very good.

In addition to the five groups of Konoha and the two groups of ninjas in the country of ghosts, there is only one group of ninjas for sand hidden clearance.

The rest of the customs clearance group becomes very interesting.

As the great powers, Yan Yin and Yun Yin, the Genin group was wiped out in the second exam, and no one passed.

In contrast, Wuyin Village, which dispatched only one team, successfully passed the second exam just like the first exam. Judging from their state, the second exam was very easy for them.

The last group to clear the level is from Yinyin Village.

It is also the only group of ninjas from small countries other than big countries.

The ninjas from other small countries, such as Yuyin, Caoyin, Yueyin and other villages, were all annihilated in the second exam, just like Yanyin and Yunyin.

In total, there were ten groups with a total of thirty people who passed the second exam.

Konoha's Genin occupies half of them.

The forces of ninjas in various countries are very different, and they all stand in a group and are hostile to each other.

"It's really troublesome, the priestess of the ghost country has also cleared the level."

Shikamaru, who was in the Konoha camp, swept his eyes towards the gathering place of the Demon Kingdom.

Among the six ninjas who passed the customs, the ninja shrine maiden he met in the examination room was also in the ranks.

The other party still kept her eyes closed, surrounded by a quiet and mysterious atmosphere, as if she sensed that someone was staring at her, she turned her head slightly and glanced at Shikamaru.

Shikamaru immediately looked away, and when her face met her, his eyes felt extremely stinging.

It's really bad. If she is brought in in the third exam, she should just choose to surrender. Shikamaru thought helplessly.

Being able to forcibly decipher his own shadow imitation technique by virtue of his own strange ability means that no matter how powerful the scheme is, it will be useless in the face of such absolute strength.

According to the previous Chunin exam rules, the third exam is a one-on-one knockout system.

Anyone who encounters a priestess with strange abilities like the kingdom of ghosts will consider himself unlucky.

"What, you're still so afraid of women, Shikamaru. It's shameful that you want to run away."

Hearing Shikamaru's muttering, Ino taught Shikamaru a lesson.

"Even if it's shameful to escape, as long as you can save your life."

Shikamaru ignored Ino's reprimand.

In this exam, there are obviously several monsters with extraordinary strength.

The strength of the rest of the Oni Ninja ninjas is unknown for the time being, but that Miko is definitely the one he doesn't want to face at the moment.

Not only is the ability strange, but the murderous aura is also very thick.

It is estimated that he came to this Chunin exam with the idea of ​​killing the opponent directly.

It seems that she is not a traditional shrine maiden who has compassion.

"That witch? I remember that her name is Hibiki, a witch who grew up in the land of ghosts. In the first exam, all the candidates around her were eliminated by her alone. She is a very scary guy Well. She should be a battle priestess belonging to the army of the Oni Land.”

Having also passed the first exam, he pushed his glasses and said with a mysterious smile.

"Battle Priestess? What is that?"

Dou's explanation attracted the attention of the others.

"It is a very rare martial arts faction among the witches in the kingdom of ghosts. Unlike ordinary witches who slay demons and demons, these combat witches are not only good at slaying demons and demons, but also executioners among witches. They are ghosts in recent years. The country's military, specially cultivated fighting professions. They are not only proficient in witches' witchcraft, but also learn from the ninja system, and their abilities are changeable and powerful. If you encounter them, you can't be too careful. The so-called witches The spell, just like a curse, can kill ghosts invisible, and can also kill invisible."

Take your time to popularize science.

"Yeah?"

Shikamaru let out a little surprise, and took a deep look at Toku.

For some reason, he always felt that this pocket leader was a little different from ordinary people.

But what's strange about it, Shikamaru didn't come up either.

It's just that he feels that this person should definitely not be as simple as he appears on the surface. It seems that when contacting him in the future, he needs to be careful.

Just as the candidate groups were whispering among themselves, the sound of footsteps suddenly sounded, more than one person's footsteps.

The examinees turned their heads collectively, and saw more than a dozen jounin came in from outside the hall, and the leader was Sagakushi jonin Maki.

Behind him are Jonin, the instructors of the customs clearance team, and Kazuhime, who is the guide for the third test, also following him.

Kazuhime, who was in the crowd, glanced at Asuka, and saw that there were only two groups in the Oni Land, and six ninjas were standing here, frowning slightly.

UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is a little dissatisfied with the number of clearances.

The bottom line she accepts is three groups, that is, nine ninjas. Now it seems that, for the cultivation of the new generation, the way of Ninja School is still too gentle. Going back this time, she, the 'sister' who has graduated from Ninja School, needs to love her a lot.

Although I really wanted to go over and ask about the situation of Asuka and the others, but considering that this occasion was a bit out of date, I just endured it for the time being.

Afterwards, he glanced at Wuyin Village again, nodded his head imperceptibly, and said hello to them, and followed Ma Ji and walked forward.

Coming to the simple high platform constructed in front of the hall, Markey stood at the front of the team with a microphone in his hand, speaking as the chief examiner of the second test:

"First of all, I would like to congratulate you all for passing the second exam. Here, on behalf of all the invigilators of the Joint Chunin Exam, I would like to express my sincere congratulations to you. Next, let me briefly explain some rules of the third exam..."
