Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 60 First Blood

Inuzuka squatted halfway, stretched his hands out of the ninja bag behind his waist, and took out several kunai. After holding his breath, he waved his hands again and again, and threw the kunai at the enemy who seemed flustered by the leeches.

However, the opponent was a ninja. In this case, although he was a little flustered, he managed to dodge Inuzuka's attack, and occasionally got hit, but also avoided the vital point.

Seeing this, Inuzuka Ya was not disappointed, and sneered, the teaching of the ninja school teacher is still vivid in his memory, when there are enemies all over the place, if you stay in one place, of course you have to make a trap, even if it cannot kill the enemy, but It is also good to be able to restrain and guard.

In fact, if you stay in the ninja stage for a long time, it is easier to regress. There is no experience of fighting ninjas to consolidate your knowledge. Over time, if you don’t spend a lot of time to revisit the knowledge, the knowledge learned in ninja school will gradually be forgotten. In contrast, the ninja who has just graduated from the ninja school and has undergone some tasks is the time when he has the most potential, and he doesn't need to waste time in order to gain experience.

The three Konoha shinin had just landed, and before they breathed a sigh of relief, a burst of elasticity came from under their feet. A large net broke through the camouflage of the grass, and just caught the three of them together, bound them tightly together, and with the help of branches, Reverse force, hanging into the air.

"It's Konoha's old bird!" After the other party was caught in the net, Inuzuka finally saw the specific face of the enemy. After his eyes stayed on the other party's Konoha forehead, he spat with disdain: "What a shame! A trash who has failed the exam so many times dares to ambush us!"

"Wait, we'll give you the scroll," one of Konoha Shinobi who was caught in the net begged for mercy, "Please let us go, we are all Konoha's ninjas!"

"Konoha Ninja? You haven't thought about it since the time you were planning to ambush us!" Shino Aburo ignored the other party's pleading and said with a blank face. At the same time, she opened her hands. Gradually covered with black spots, when you look carefully, it turns out to be ugly little bugs: "Instead of waiting until you humble foreign ninjas beg for mercy and lose the face of Muye village shinobi, why don't we kill you here?" Get rid of it!"

Countless parasites gathered together, like a dark cloud, floating around Yume Shino, and when Yume Shino waved his hand, they suddenly flew out and enveloped the three Konoha shinobi who were caught in the net.

"Ah!" As the parasites enveloped the three of them, there were endless screams from the net, feeling the parasites devouring Chakra bit by bit, this pain was unbearable for ordinary people.

"How is it, Shino? Are they holding the scrolls of the earth?" Inuzuka Ya looked at the three Konoha Shinoku who were surrounded by dense parasites, and couldn't help but turned his head, curled his lips and asked Shino Aburo , It's not that I can't bear it, it's just that Yume Shino's secret technique, even if Inuzuka has been with him for a long time, he always feels a little creepy and uncomfortable after seeing him.

"No, there are no female parasites left on them, they are heavenly scrolls just like us." Shino Aburome shook her head and replied to Inuzuka Fang.

"Then what about their scrolls?" Hinata Hinata dodged her eyes to avoid touching the tragic image above, and asked her companion in a weak tone: "Shall we leave now?"

"What nonsense, Hinata!" Inuzuka Ya frowned and reprimanded, but seeing Hinata's delicate and weak appearance, he couldn't bear to emphasize his tone again, and his tone slowed down slightly: "Even if we don't need it, we can't use it." It’s not like throwing it here to make others cheaper, and Shikamaru’s team doesn’t know what scroll they are holding, so maybe they can exchange it with them!”

…………

In the originally silent forest, there were sudden screams one after another, which were very eye-catching. Many candidates heard it and raised their vigilance in their hearts.

"Someone has already succeeded!?" Shikamaru, who followed Ino with Choji and was running in the forest, frowned after hearing the faint screams from afar.

Less than half an hour after the exam started, a team had already been attacked. If they were lucky enough to get a paired scroll, they might have started rushing towards the central tower at this time.

"We'll be there soon!" Ino also heard the screams and knew what it meant, worried that his companion was in a hurry, so he explained aloud.

Shikamaru and Choji nodded upon hearing this.

The three kept jumping in the forest in a slightly silent atmosphere, until Ino slowed down, Shikamaru and Choji also raised their vigilance.

"Is it near here?" Shikamaru asked in a low voice when he came to Ino, and after seeing Ino nodded, he carefully looked at the surrounding environment.

Seeing Shikamaru observing the environment, Ino lowered his voice and explained: "The other party is a ninja from Takinobu Village. There are two men and one woman. They are older than us, but they are only about sixteen or seventeen years old."

"The exam has just started. Whether it is in terms of energy or strength, it is the peak moment. Candidates who are confident in their abilities will definitely choose this opportunity to grab the scroll." Seeing this, Ino and Choji also fell to Shikamaru's side one by one.

"In contrast, candidates who are not strong enough will definitely have the idea of ​​procrastination, hoping that other strong candidates will spend more energy in this exam, so that they can take advantage of it." Shikamaru pawed at the grass, looking for footprints , while explaining to the two companions.

"I found it!" Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief, and finally found a footprint in the grass, checked the direction the soles of his feet were facing, jumped forward, and came to a tree trunk.

The giant trees that have grown for many years are very tall, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and it is difficult for the sun to shine in. On some tree trunks that have not seen the sun for many years, there are more moss, and the ninja will leave traces when they step on it.

"It seems that they are quite confident. This direction is not going to the central tower." After searching for a while, Shikamaru found footprints on a tree trunk covered with moss, and turned to Ino and Choji. Said: "Perhaps a few people already have a goal. From the footprints, they didn't stay in one place for a long time."

The footsteps are clear and not messy, which shows that several people did not stay in one place because of confusion and no goal, and the purpose is clear, which shows that there is a goal from the beginning.

"Ino, use the body-mind conversion technique to find their traces. We shouldn't follow them rashly. If we are discovered, we will fall into a trap instead." Shikamaru ordered Ino.

Ino nodded when he heard the words, and looked at Ding Ci. Behind the other party, there was a sparrowhawk tied with a rope. , It's a pity that it was tied firmly, and even the sharp beak was firmly tied by a rubber band.

Seeing this, Choji put down the sparrowhawk behind his back. Ino made a seal with his hands and aimed at the sparrowhawk. His body suddenly swayed, and then fell to the side. Hugging, while Choji let go of the tied Sparrowhawk.

The sparrowhawk who was untied from the rope did not fly away immediately with fluttering wings, but crossed a few steps on the tree trunk, nodded to Shikamaru and Choji, then shook its wings and flew to the sky.

"Choji," Shikamaru looked at the surrounding environment before, and was also observing whether it was a good place to stay. At this time, Ino used the body and mind conversion technique to control the sparrowhawk to monitor the target, and said to Choji: "Look at Ino, I set up a trap here, and then the two of us will wait for news from Ino!"

Choji nodded, expressing his understanding. Seeing this, Shikamaru held Ino in his arms, first found a huge empty tree hole, big enough to accommodate three people, cleaned it up with Choji, and placed the comatose Ino body horizontally. Inside, and took out the insect repellent medicine that had been prepared from the ninja bag, and sprinkled some in the tree hole.

After finishing everything, he used kunai to dig out a piece of bark from an inconspicuous part of a big tree in the distance, together with moss, as a cover, and blocked it in the tree hole, and then modified it a little , Use moss to cover up the joint marks.

"That's it!" Shikamaru took a few steps back to look, and couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.

The more complicated the production of traps, the more knowledge is involved. For example, in the exam questions in the first exam before, the implicated traps that need to be made not only need to consider triggering the traps when the enemy attacks at the beginning, but also include cooperation later. Knowing the space of the environment, it is speculated that after the enemy has avoided the trap, the next step will be where he will land. In order to prevent the prediction from being wrong, he must be prepared to restrain him at any time. The most common way is to use flying props to urge the opponent to evade and then land again. In terms of traps, it is a little more clever. It can even predict the opponent's route and set up an active trap. Even if the opponent avoids the flying props, the props with undiminished potential can also trigger the trap and carry out a second-stage attack, which is hard to guard against.

Through continuous calculations and simulations, it can be said that traps are not only a very simple basic skill for ninjas, but also a very complex and profound knowledge.

Although complex traps are easy to waste time, the advantage of implicated traps is that as long as one is made, it can play a part of the role. The next thing to do is to deduce it with a trap as the center. Therefore, laying other traps, it is not that if they are not set up once, they will have no effect.

Shikamaru was busy making traps, but Choji was not idle either. While taking care of Ino, he used kunai sharpened branches to make simple wood grass, which can save a lot of ninja tools. After all, in the next few days In this forest, everyone has to live in this forest. The food is okay, but the ninja tools can be saved if possible, otherwise a lot of time will be wasted picking them up one by one.

At the same time, Ino, who used the mind-body conversion technique to control Sparrowhawk, was going to find the Taki Ninja Village team that had been locked before.

If the other party is as Shikamaru guessed, it is looking for other teams to prepare to attack. The two sides fight, and they are very powerful against the tenth team. I am afraid that they can kill the two teams with a very small amount of power, so Ino searched very carefully. , for fear of missing a little information.

"Huh!" Falcon's vision is not comparable to that of human beings. Even if it is high in the sky, it can still see the figures in the forest. Ino, who has been watching from the sky, did not find any traces of the ninjas of Taki Ninja Village, but found that there were three ninjas. , was running towards the direction where Shikamaru and Choji were staying, the speed was fast, and the direction to go was not the central tower, probably for another purpose.
