Hokage: Let Suffering Never Fly

Chapter 21 The First Day

Facing this scene, more than 100 people did not know how to react.

Nara Shikoku looked at Kaiichi Yamanaka who was in a coma in his arms, and also sighed.

I know it's not that easy.

A small group headed by several families began to discuss the follow-up actions.

Now that Gaia's body is missing, they need to guard against Gaia's sneak attack.

Nara Shikahisa handed the unconscious Yamanaka Kaiichi to Akimichi Dingza, and began to discuss the follow-up plan with everyone.

First, they must occupy the water source.

Facts have shown that with Gaia's character, if she didn't choose to poison them, she wouldn't be Gaia.

The water source is suitable for poisoning.

They had to set up their camp near the water, and, preferably, at the source of the water, which had the added benefit of being able to get food.

Secondly, Gaia is very likely to sneak attack, and at night, it needs to be on duty...

Nara Shikahisa looked at the civilian ninja team, and then said to Namikaze Minato who came as a representative: "Minato, we must join forces..."

……

After a short period of repair, everyone began to move up the river to the upper reaches of the river where it entered the Death Forest.

Then, each small group camped separately along the river, tens of meters apart.

Some ninjas have already started fishing in the water to prepare extra food.

The food provided is only enough for three days, and it will definitely not hurt to prepare food in advance.

Under the arrangement of Nara Shikahisa and some experienced candidates, more than 100 people began to divide the work, fishing for fish, cooking for cooking... Of course, they always arranged personnel to patrol the periphery during the whole process, and A password was agreed upon.

Compared to students who have never been on the battlefield, being able to make such an arrangement is already a very good performance.

Everyone was full of praise for Nara Shikahisa's performance.

But the patriarch of the Yamanaka clan was worried, because he saw from the crystal ball that his child Yamanaka Haiyi had been backlashed by using the secret technique before, and he has not yet awakened.

He is also aware of the drawbacks of the mountain clan's secret technique. Interfering with the opponent's mind and even taking control of the body requires that the strength of will between the two parties should not be too different.

The strength of the will, or the strength of the soul, is related to both age and personal temperament.

For Hai Yi to suffer such a degree of backlash, it shows that the will of the two parties is too different.

Even if it's Jonin, I'm afraid it's only at this level.

What has this little guy been through.

"Sandaime-sama, Haiichi's health may not be able to continue. I apply to have him withdraw from the assessment." Compared with becoming a genin or any family glory, he is more worried about the condition of his children.

When it comes to your soul, you must be careful and cautious.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded after hearing the words of the mountain clan leader, "Go ahead. If you need anything, just ask."

Inoka Butterfly is Konoha's gold medal combination, and he is actually very concerned about Haiyi's situation.

He didn't let the Anbu people bring Yamanaka Hai out, but asked the Yamanaka patriarch to pick them up by himself.

……

With the foot strength of the above ninja, he quickly rushed to the death forest.

When the mountain chief picked up his child and left, the remaining students felt extremely sad.

If he were on the battlefield, this would probably be "killed in action".

Especially the remaining two members of the new generation of Ikabutterfly, Akimichi Dingza and Nara Shikaku are extremely self-blaming.

Although the mountain patriarch had already said when he left: "You have performed very well, even better than us at the same age."

But the guilt of not being able to protect their partner still made the two of them angry.

Gaia!

The entire camp was immersed in the sadness of "losing" a partner, and everyone wanted to find Gaia and teach him a lesson.

And the latter... is lying in a secret room underground at the moment, very comfortable.

"This Earth Dungeon is really good." This skill not only allows Gaia to skillfully open tunnels underground, but also comes with a lot of related knowledge.

For example, how to construct a waterproof structure, how to introduce flowing air, etc.

"I think a ninja who has focused on earth escape for many years can master this skill." Gaia sighed.

During the day he entered early, he dug four similar chambers throughout the Death Forest.

"If Nara Shikaku's head is still clear, it should lead everyone to camp at the uppermost reaches of the river..."

Gaia packed her bags and took action in the dark, trying to find the location of everyone passively through perception.

Gaia, who was cautious all the way, finally found everyone's camp at the imagined location.

Gaia quickly sneaked into the nearest secret room, and then, with her perception ability, from time to time, she paid attention to whether someone had left the army.

……

The first night was the most difficult. Even though they had uniformly arranged the candidates for the vigil, they still couldn't resist everyone's excitement, and almost everyone couldn't fall asleep.

Until the sun rose again, everyone felt very strange, except for Haiichi Yamanaka who was taken away yesterday, they still kept this [-]% retention rate of the quota.

"This coward must have known how powerful we are and doesn't dare to show up anymore." Someone from the Uchiha clan was very confident. As he said this, he was going to lead the Uchiha clan team around to look for traces of Gaia.

Nara Shikahisa wanted to persuade him, but was turned back by a pair of blood-red single gouyu eyes.

In Uchiha's team, a person named Uchiha Toki has opened his eyes...

This is cheating, right?
This must be cheating!

Like Hizashi, this is actually a "quasi-genin" whose strength exceeds that of a genin.

The only difference is that they are trained within the family and do not need to use "genin protection" as a graduation standard.

"Wait a minute!" Nara Shikahisa called to stop everyone.

He also wanted to end this assessment early. After all, his friend had passed out and he still didn't know what the situation was.

Nara Shikahisa tried to persuade Uchiha's people to join him and find people from other families to discuss how to "capture" Gaia, but was directly rejected by the other party.

Saying that the Uchiha clan does not join forces with the weak, we have our own way, and then we walk away.

The Uchiha people's refusal to cooperate gave Shikaku a headache.

If Uchiha can let go of those pride and join hands with Hinata, with some arrangements for the two special pupil techniques, it might be impossible to find Gaia and end the assessment early.

But it's a pity, ever since the Senju clan became lonely, Uchiha has regarded himself as the first clan of Konoha, and from top to bottom, he is used to pointing his nostrils at others.

Only a very small number of people can remain sane.

Looking at the Uchiha people who left, Nara Shikahisa sighed.

With the strength of this Uchiha team, they can win even against ordinary Chunin. I just hope that there will be no accidents.
