Lord of the Storm of Konoha

Chapter 45 Anbu Examination Begins

The 20 taels was almost all of Lei Chen's income from missions for more than a year. The social animals in his previous life and the experience of starvation in Konoha's early days made him love money, but he knew what was more important than money.

He couldn't look at Suzuki who died because of him, and his wife and children lived in poverty, so he gave almost all of his savings to the other party in the name of the village.

When Lei Chen watched Naruto in his previous life, he always imagined that he possessed powerful ninjutsu, sweeping the entire ninja world like Uchiha Madara, but only after he really became one of them did he gradually understand the cruelty of it.

Ordinary chunin like Suzuki, looking for people to form teams to support their families by completing high-risk mission commissions, they have no extraordinary talent, no special blood succession limit, a mission accident can ruin their ten years of hard work into a bubble...

But there are thousands of people like Suzuki?They are the most ninja existences.

Lei Chen couldn't help but ponder, if he hadn't awakened Goldfinger, would he be like those people?
He spent his whole life in trembling, relying on completing low-level tasks to support his family, and finally died in an inconspicuous accident, and soon no one was attached to him.

Maybe, really so...

That's why we need to pursue strength!That's why we have to keep climbing!

Anbu is not only a good place to improve your strength, but also a stepping stone for Lei Chen to climb into the upper echelon of Konoha in the future.

Anbu is directly under Hokage, how could Hokage be stingy with Anbu who worked for him?The resources owned by Anbu are almost the most abundant among ninjas of the same level!There are all kinds of ninjutsu scrolls for practicing ninjutsu.

In addition, Anbu also plays a very important role. Ordinary Anbu may not have high authority, but once he becomes a sub-leader or captain, it can be said to be a leaping dragon.

Many high-level consultants in Konoha are promoted from the sub-captains, and even have the qualifications to run for Hokage!

During the period of recuperation, Lei Chen hardly rested for a moment.Like Xiao Li in the original book, he was exercising hard under the hospital bed. When he was exhausted, he continued to rely on the stimulation of thunder and lightning. Even if the wound was torn again, he still persisted.

Time flies, a month has passed, Lei Chen's injury has fully recovered, and his strength has improved a lot. He is confident that if he encounters rock and soil again, even if he loses, he will not be so embarrassed.

One morning, he suddenly received a summoning order from the Anbu for an assessment.After passing this assessment, one can become a real Anbu.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lei Chen put on Anbu's equipment and headed towards the gathering place.

On the edge of the death forest, in a square, dozens of people gathered here.They all stood upright, their faces covered by animal masks with different patterns, exuding a chilling aura.

But when they saw Lei Chen approaching, most of them tilted their heads in doubt, and the faces under the masks frowned slightly.Although Lei Chen is also wearing the same clothes as them, but that thin figure looks like a child, is it also the candidate Anbu?

Are you kidding me?
Is it so easy for Anbu to recruit people?Anyone can get in?
"Who is that person? Can he join Anbu at such a young age?"

"really?"

……

Some people said humanely with rich information: "I heard that one of the captain's disciples has become a candidate for the Anbu, and it is also the assessment today. Could it be this person?"

"It turned out to be the back door, hum!"

"Strength is the number one in Anbu, what's the ability to join through relationships!"

"The regulations for this assessment shouldn't be very strict. Let him suffer a little when the time comes. Even the captain can't say anything, right?"

……

Hearing these Anbu candidates discussing him, Lei Chen frowned slightly, but didn't care too much, and walked to a marginal position.

"Silent! Is Anbu's discipline so bad?"

The captain of the dark part scolded loudly, the scarred face under the mask showed a trace of dissatisfaction, but his eyes also began to look at Lei Chen.

He also knew about the fact that Hatake Sakumo's disciple had joined Anbe, and in his opinion the captain was a little urgent.There must be no doubt about the talent of the disciple who can become the captain, but after all, he is too young, Anbu is not a child's game, and he does not know where he died accidentally.

He frowned slightly, giving up hope that Lei Chen would pass the assessment.

"Did you see the forest of death in front of you? The location of this assessment is there. There are 100 scrolls hidden in it. Every time you bring a scroll, you will score 10 points here. Only the 5 people with the highest scores will become members of Anbu. "

"The assessment time is one day. Regardless of whether the scroll is found at dusk, you must return here!"

"You can use all means except forbidden techniques."

The team leader paused for a moment, then continued: "Just to remind you, when you are not sure whether the scrolls in your hand are enough, try to get more scrolls,"

Lei Chen frowned slightly, the team leader's words were already obvious, there are only 5 places, and there are at least 40 Anbu candidates here, the more scrolls, the greater the chance of success.

But no one knows how many scrolls there are in the top 5. In order to win, you must snatch other people's scrolls. While increasing your own scrolls, reduce the opponent's scrolls.

This is an assessment that combines a series of capabilities such as detection, collection, combat, and situation assessment.

It seems that it is not easy to become a member of Anbe!

"have you understood?"

"Understood." Everyone present responded loudly.

"Okay." The captain nodded.

"Then the examination begins."

With the sound of swishing, black figures disappeared into the square one by one, and quickly jumped into the forest of death like black ghosts.

On a high platform not far away, several figures stood straight, overlooking the death forest in the mist.

One of them was the Anbu ninja Ao that Lei Chen had met before. Standing behind Sakumo Hatake, he asked, "Captain, who do you like in this assessment?"

Hatake Sakumo said slowly: "These are my Konoha's extremely talented juniors, and it's up to them to pass the assessment."

Qing smiled, thinking of the junior who was rescued by Hinata Ninja.

"The captain's disciple is also very good, but he is a little younger, even if he fails this time, he is very hopeful next time."

Hatake Sakumo smiled wryly. Almost everyone thought that he had deliberately arranged Lei Chen to work in the Anbu, but in fact Lei Chen applied to Hokage on his own initiative, and he even asked Lei Chen to consider it.

Looking at the death forest looming in the mist in the distance, Hatake Sakumo murmured in his heart: "Lei Chen, you have to fight for me!"

……

On a treetop, Lei Chen closed his eyes, turned on the wind sensor, and silently checked his surroundings.Soon he opened his eyes and looked happily at a location not far away.

"found it."

Lei Chen jumped over and found two scrolls in a tree hole. Just as he was about to leave, there was a cold scolding sound behind him.

"Stop, boy, and hand over the scroll."

Lei Chen looked behind him, and saw a black figure standing on the top of a tree, looking down at him with coldness in his eyes.
