Konoha: Prepare to defect, the system is coming.

Chapter 556 Chunin Exam (11)

Konoha, the Forest of Death.

As the examination venue for the Chunin Exam, this forest is very large. Even if people stand at the highest point in Konoha, they still cannot see the end of the forest.

For this reason, Konoha set the time of the second exam to 5 days. As long as it is completed within 5 days and reaches the high tower in the center of the Death Forest, it will be considered passed.

“Ah~ah~roar~”

From time to time, the forest was filled with the shrill wails of the examinees and the roars of wild beasts, and sometimes one could even see various ninjutsu appearing in the sky above the forest.

Outside the examination room.

Two ninjas wearing Konoha forehead protectors squatted on the ground, eating the snacks brought by each other, with satisfied looks on their faces.

boom!
Just as the two were eating snacks, a large tree that had been alive for who knows how long suddenly shook, and then fell to one side with a sound like muffled thunder, which instantly attracted their attention.

"How long has it been since this started that such a fierce battle has occurred?"

One of them threw a few melon seeds into his mouth and said as he ate, "There are still five days left. If we don't conserve our energy, others might take advantage of us!"

"This happens in every exam. There's always a group of candidates who start gathering their scrolls, and then get cut off on the way to the finish line because they run out of energy." Another person continued to eat snacks, looking as if he was used to it.

"That's right! Where's Anko-sama?"

"She said she was worried that during the exam period, there might be a situation like the "Hidden Mist Village" where there was only one candidate left, so she went in to take a look."

"What kind of excuse is this, Sister Hongdou?

She might just want to have fun with those "passionate" candidates. After all, there has only been one traitorous ninja like Zabuza who killed all the candidates in the Hidden Mist Village in all these years."

"."

Hearing this, one of the ninjas nodded, then looked towards the place where the fierce battle was taking place in the forest, and silently grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into his mouth.

For some reason, he felt vaguely uneasy, as if something bad was going to happen.

at the same time.

Hongdou feels the same way.

As she got closer and closer to that familiar aura, Hongdou's inner uneasiness became stronger and stronger.

"It can't be wrong!"

Feeling the curse seal on her neck starting to heat up, Hongdou couldn't help but clench her fists and whispered in a voice that only she could hear, "It can't be wrong, this must be that person's aura.

Only when two people are close to each other will the curse seal that was planted at the beginning become hot.

That cold, disgusting, sickening guy! ! "

The image of Orochimaru slowly emerged in her mind.

When she was young, Red Bean did not think that Teacher Orochimaru was as weird as outsiders said. He had a very gentle personality and was very kind to her. Although he often had a cold face, she could feel that Teacher Orochimaru was not as extreme as he was later.

"When did he change?"

This question has been bothering Red Bean until now. She has never found Orochimaru, let alone had the opportunity to question him.

but now.
Sniffing the familiar scent again, Hongdou suddenly turned her head to look at the young man following behind her.

Judging from the opponent's running speed, he should also be a ninja, and his strength should be above that of a Chunin. His strength may be slightly weaker than hers, but not by much.

"A special jonin?" But she thought of Orochimaru's terrifying and desperate strength. After hesitating for a moment, Hongdou's face turned cold, "Leave the toad behind and leave here."

Toad: ???
Before Fei Niao could open his mouth to refuse, the toad lying on his head became unhappy.

After signing a contract with Jiraiya for so many years, that guy never summons it except when going to the bathhouse.

In battle, it lacks the strength; in transmitting information, it lacks the speed; in chatting, it lacks the eloquence; even when it comes out to sing a song, it is criticized for its poor voice.
Its only advantage is that it has a high resistance to illusions, which was also an important reason why Jiraiya signed it.

but
After Jiraiya fought, he found out that this toad with high resistance to illusion was useless.

Even if he summoned a summoned beast before each battle, he would not choose to summon a toad with high illusion resistance, but would choose to summon the stronger Bunta. After all, Bunta could also remove illusions.
If Wentai is also under the illusion, then it will not be solved by summoning this toad with high illusion resistance, but it will be necessary to summon Shima Sennin.
"Hey!"

At this time, the toad lying on top of Asuka suddenly stood up and said with some dissatisfaction in his voice, "Little Jiraiya finally assigned a mission to me, and you actually want me to give up the mission and go with you?"

"Ugh!"

Asuka also sighed, and continued what the toad had said, "It can't leave me. This toad is watching me. If it leaves me, Master Jiraiya will probably go crazy."

"Surveillance?"

Catching some key words in the conversation, Mitarashi Anko's face darkened slightly.

She stopped, turned around and looked Uchiha Asuka up and down, while searching for information about this person in her mind.

After a while.

Hongdou took a deep breath and said coldly.

"Please leave with the toad above your head!! I will handle the rest myself!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fei Niao shook his head vigorously.

joke!

This is the person that Aunt Hongdou likes.
How could you not eat such a big melon?
With this in mind, Asuka casually grabbed a caterpillar from the tree trunk and threw it into the toad's mouth, causing the toad to be confused for a while before saying, "Please believe me, Red Bean Jonin.

Taking me with you is definitely the best decision you have made in your life."

Hearing this, Hongdou frowned deeply, somewhat confused about the young man's thoughts, and then asked, "Do you know where I'm taking you? Do you know what will happen there?"

"Know!"

Fei Niao nodded affirmatively, then looked at her deeply and said calmly, "When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous of each other. I wouldn't be surprised if you beat the person who once abandoned you to death.

But the child is innocent, and I went there this time because I was afraid that the child might be harmed."

After saying that, he looked at Hongdou who was lost in thought, and couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up in his heart, with a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.

Combined with Hongdou's sometimes sad and sometimes resentful expression, as well as the words "marriage" and "abandonment" that she muttered, Asuka had already imagined a "love that cannot be obtained" drama for the other party in her mind.

"After abandoning her, her first love married another woman. Now their child has come to Konoha to take part in the Chunin Exam. What if Red Bean gets crazy and beats the child to the ground? How embarrassing would that be?"

"Ugh!"

Thinking of this, Fei Niao's mouth curled up to his ears, and he was still looking forward to what would happen next.

He never expected that the person this guy wanted to see was Orochimaru. Although Asuka vaguely remembered that the two had fought in the Forest of Death during the Chunin Exam, he forgot the exact day of the fight.

And just now Red Bean was muttering about getting married, being abandoned and so on, which also caused him to not think about Orochimaru at all.

After all, who would be interested in their teacher? !
"Whoo~"

At this time, Hongdou also let out the anger that had been pent up in her chest.

Then, she looked at Uchiha Asuka deeply. Although she didn't understand how the other party guessed Orochimaru, her cold eyes softened a lot.

Now that we know who the next enemy will be!

Thinking of this, she turned and looked in the direction of Orochimaru, and said with a bit of determination in her clear voice, "Well, the safety of the examinees is in your hands. No matter what happens next, the safety of the examinees is the most important thing."

Asuka patted his chest and assured.

"Leave it to me!!" At this time.

Neither of them realized that they were talking about completely different things.

Mitarashi Anko was thinking that she would definitely have a conflict with Orochimaru next, and would have to question the other party why he abandoned her. The aftermath of the battle would inevitably affect nearby candidates, and the young man's task was to take the nearby candidates away.

Uchiha Asuka was thinking that when Hongdou saw the child of her first love next time, she would definitely not be able to control her temper and might even pin the son to the ground and beat him up.

His mission then would be to stop Hongdou and get the child out of this guy's sight.

"Let's not tell the village about this yet, let's go!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hongdou's figure disappeared from the spot in an instant and rushed towards the direction where Orochimaru was.

Looking at the direction where she disappeared, Fei Niao rubbed his chin with one hand and nodded, "This kind of thing really can't be told to the village, it's too embarrassing to go and cause trouble for the offspring of my first love.

I can't do this, even though I don't have a first love."

The other side of the Death Forest.

Uchiha Sasuke squatted on the ground and continued to assign tasks.

If you want to pass the exam, you must first collect the scrolls of heaven and earth. There is only one way to collect the scrolls of heaven and earth, and that is to snatch the scrolls carried by other teams.

They can rob other people, and other people can naturally rob them, and when they grab the scroll, there is no guarantee that the scroll they grab is the one they need.

"Five days!"

Thinking of the time given for the exam, Sasuke couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

The Death Forest is huge. They may not encounter other teams even if they wander around for five days. Moreover, they have to find the correct scroll in it. What if their scroll is lost?
Then, Sasuke looked around, his eyes sweeping over these thick tree trunks. After confirming that there were no other teams hiding behind them, he said coldly, "I'll only say this once, to prevent the scroll from being snatched away, I'll take it!"

"Hey!"

After listening to the plan, Naruto suddenly stood up and said, "Wait a minute, we are for..."

call out!
Before he could finish his words, a stone pierced the air, quickly passed by Naruto's cheek, and finally embedded deeply into the tree trunk behind him.

The stinging pain on his face instantly interrupted Naruto's speech.

He then touched his cheek, and when he saw the scarlet blood on his fingers, he turned his head to look in the direction where the stone came from.

The thick tree trunks intertwined and entangled together to form a roof. Under the roof was a dark and deep forest path, and the stone just now came from that direction.

Call ~
A light breeze blew along the path, blowing their hair back.

Before Sasuke and the others could figure out what was happening, the breeze instantly turned into a gale. Wherever the gale passed, sand, rocks, and grass were all swept up and smashed heavily towards the three people standing there.

Sasuke immediately lowered his head and put his arms in front of his eyes to prevent the inexplicable evil wind from blinding him.

He probably guessed now that someone was playing tricks on him.
"what!"

Suddenly, a scream in his ear interrupted Sasuke's thoughts.

He opened his eyes with great effort, and saw Naruto, who had just been standing behind him, being blown into the air by the wind, and then hit hard against a tree trunk, without any movement.

Sakura's pupils shrank and she exclaimed in surprise.

"Naruto!"

Before she finished her words, a white smoke suddenly appeared behind Sakura. She turned her head with difficulty and looked at the smoke that suddenly emerged. Her heart suddenly tightened.

"Ha~"

Suddenly, a female laugh was heard from the white smoke, and then a woman wearing a conical hat, a purple bow belt around her waist, and a black combat uniform walked out.

She first glanced at the yellow-haired boy lying on the ground, then looked at the two vigilant little ghosts in front of her, and the smile on her face gradually became weird.

"Are you holding the 'Book of Heaven'?" The woman held down the brim of her hat with one hand and took the scroll from her waist with the other hand, laughing softly, "I'm holding the 'Book of Earth'!!"

As she spoke, she pressed one hand to her eye socket, revealing a vertical pupil that resembled a snake.

An inexplicable aura suddenly burst out from the woman, and the terrifying sense of oppression was transmitted to Sasuke and Sakura through her eyes, instantly plunging them into an illusion.

"will die!"

The moment he felt that momentum, Sasuke's pupils suddenly dilated, and for some reason he suddenly foresaw his future ending.

The kunai pierced his body. Blood spurted into the air and an explosive tag was stuck on his forehead.
boom! !

After a roar in his heart, Sasuke woke up from the illusion.

He opened his mouth wide and looked at the woman in front of him with horror, his forehead instantly covered with dense beads of cold sweat.

"Horror!! Monster!!
This creepy, dying feeling was exactly the same as the feeling Uchiha Itachi gave him. "Thinking of the feeling of death just now, Sasuke's legs softened and he knelt on the ground, gasping for breath.

He had only experienced this feeling with three people.
"Uchiha Asuka, Uchiha Itachi, and the woman in front of us."

After being trained by Uchiha Asuka for a period of time, Sasuke would still be afraid when he came into contact with this kind of thing, but he would not be so unbearable that he had no strength left in his body.

He pounded his trembling legs hard, then forced himself to stand up and turned to look at Sakura beside him.

"Sakura!"

Seeing Sakura kneeling on the ground, her face extremely pale and trembling with fear, Sasuke gritted his teeth, took out a kunai from the bag of ninja tools and placed it across his chest.

"Sakura, Naruto can't be counted on!"

He glanced at the two of them, then looked at the surrounding dense forest, and analyzed in his mind, "This man's goal is the scroll. Now the scroll is with me. I will lead him away.
However, isn't this generation of Genin a little too strong? ? "

Looking at the woman walking towards him, Sasuke couldn't help but feel a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart.

The sense of death that the other party gave him was surprisingly the same as that of Uchiha Asuka. Such a person actually took part in the Chunin Exam.

call out!call out!call out!
The woman opposite looked at Sasuke who was shaking like a sieve, and threw out three kunai to block the guy's escape direction.

"Sasuke Uchiha!

The only remaining member of the Uchiha clan!"

The woman licked her lips, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes, "Uchiha Itachi's brother."

Ok?
The next moment, her eyes widened instantly, and she looked at Sasuke in surprise as he inserted the kunai directly into her thigh, then flexibly dodged the three kunai blockades, grabbed the girl and disappeared on the spot.

"That's interesting. Relying on pain to let your body overcome fear?"

As she spoke, she glanced back at the forest behind her.

at this time.

Her sense of smell and the seals were frantically reminding her that not far behind her, there was a breath of the same origin as her that was approaching quickly.

"Long time no see!! Anko!!"

Sensing the same breath, the woman smiled gently and continued walking towards where Sasuke was hiding.

Another purpose of her coming to Konoha this time was Uchiha.

As for red beans, I don't really want to see them, they're annoying!!
