Escape From Konoha

Latest URL: "Rules?"

Regarding some questions from the candidates below, Markey nodded and continued:

"That's right, like the first two exams, the third exam is also an elimination competition. The difference is that the third exam is not a group-based elimination competition, but an individual-to-individual elimination competition."

"It means that even people in the same group may be hostile, right?"

Shikamaru was the first to react.

"Yes, because it is an individual competition, even people in the same group will become opponents. But the only thing is that in the third test, you are not allowed to kill your opponent."

Mackey said solemnly.

Ma Ji's words made all the candidates feel awe-inspiring.

It is not allowed to kill candidates, which is completely different from the rules of the second exam.

Although the scope and rules of the second exam were divided, the rule was that means were not considered. As long as one could pass the exam, any means would be considered reasonable.

However, in the third exam, which was the finale, such a rule was abandoned, which puzzled most of the candidates.

Ma Ji did not embarrass these immature candidates, but said: "That's because the third exam is different from the first two exams. It is an individual-to-individual open competition. That is, your battle will be judged by people other than ninjas." The audience is watching."

The audience other than ninjas are ordinary people, big businessmen from various countries, officials, ninja leaders, etc...

The audience is very mixed. Although ninja battles are often accompanied by blood, if people die in the open competition, it will inevitably cause adverse social reactions.

"However, after a real fight, this kind of thing will be difficult to control, right?"

Temari asked dissatisfied.

She glanced lightly at Gaara beside her.

Gaara's strikes have never been light or heavy. If killing people is not allowed, then Gaara will find it difficult to grasp the strength.

"When the examinee's life is in danger, there will be an examiner who will act as a ninja to stop it."

"Then what's the point of such a battle? Isn't it difficult to judge the outcome?"

Kankuro snorted coldly.

Markey glanced at him and said: "Don't worry about this kind of thing. Once the chief examiner has to stop it, it means that the candidate is already a loser."

Markey's explanation made the examinees slightly relieved. If this is the case, it is indeed a solution.

If one's life is in danger, the chief examiner will come up to stop it, which will easily disrupt the rhythm of the candidates' fighting.

But the chief examiner came to stop it, which meant that the rescued party was eliminated, and the dissatisfaction of the candidates was greatly reduced.

"As for the rest of the rules, after you go to the country of ghosts, there will be special personnel to explain to you. So before you arrive in the country of ghosts, you have to think about what kind of fighting style you want to adopt before the third exam After all, you are not allowed to kill your opponent, but it does not mean that you need to be completely restrained."

If this joint Chunin exam is internally digested, then naturally there is no such rule that killing opponents is not allowed.

Because it is difficult to grasp the scale of the battle between ninjas and ninjas, a little carelessness will cause life-threatening.

But this time is different. It is an open competition for audiences other than ninjas. If people die, it will undoubtedly promote the **** and crazy side of ninjas, which is not conducive to the positive image of ninjas.

On the premise of not killing the opponent, eliminating the opponent as much as possible is the key to this test.

The reason why it is so early is that Markey wants the candidates to do these preparations before the formal individual knockout competition, which can be regarded as a preventive shot in advance, so that they will not be **** and unable to exert their due strength.

"Okay, I'm done talking. Miss Yiji, it's your turn to speak."

Seeing that the candidates understood what he said very well, Ma Ji turned around and handed the microphone in his hand to Kazuki.

Yiji nodded, took the microphone, walked to where Ma Ji was originally, and faced all the candidates.

"Hi, I'm Kazuhime Chiba, Jonin from the kingdom of ghosts. Next, I will arrange your trip to the kingdom of ghosts. Next, I have only one request for you. Fighting on the way is not allowed. I I know that you have accumulated a lot of personal grievances during the second exam, but before the official start of the individual competition, please all of you restrain yourself a little. If you don’t obey the command, I will beat you up first, and then cancel your second exam. Qualification for the three exams."

Cut, it doesn't look like much, is this guy really a jonin? Kankuro stared at Ichihime, who was not much older than himself, and doubted the other party's moisture as a Jonin.

But because of the occasion, Kankuro can only think about it in his heart.

Ignoring the candidates with different thoughts below, Yiji continued:

"I'll give you half an hour to pack your things now. After half an hour, all the staff will gather in front of the main entrance of the central control tower."

After one episode, he handed over the microphone to Ma Ji, and then left the venue without looking back, which also meant the end of this short meeting.

Markey shook his head helplessly. Originally, he wanted to show off his prestige as the chief examiner of the second exam, but after a whole day, there was not much time left for him to make a speech.

"That's how it is. Congratulations on your success in the third exam. Now we are disbanded and we will gather at the main entrance in half an hour."

After the maki was finished, the candidates looked at each other in blank dismay, and then they all walked out of the hall, returned to their lounges, and began to pack their things.

When Asuka and the others walked to the rest area where the Kingdom of Demons was located, they saw Ichihime standing alone in the center of the corridor, with a cold expression on his face. Seeing Ichihime in this state, Asuka and the others felt great pressure .

But in the end they resisted the pressure and walked up to Ichiki, waiting for a lecture.

"Come in first."

Yiji saw that there were candidates from other countries behind Asuka and the others, who were about to pass by here, and knew that this place was not suitable for talking, so she opened the next room and walked in first.

Asuka and the six Oni no Kuni ninja who passed the second exam also entered the room and closed the door tightly.

I saw Yiji sitting on a chair with her hands crossed over her chest and her legs crossed. Although she didn't show much dissatisfaction on her face, the cold aura emanating from her made people know that she was in a very unhappy mood.

"Well, why are only six of you passing the test?"

"Probably because of bad luck."

Thinking of what happened in the second exam, Asuka couldn't help feeling depressed.

The six or seven scrolls that their group won in a row were all the same scrolls of heaven. It was not until the eighth that they successfully obtained the scroll of earth. As a result, two days had passed since the exam time, and the scrolls left for their group Time to act is running out.

"The three teams that failed were reportedly besieged by Konoha ninjas... Two of them were seriously injured and are undergoing rescue in the infirmary. The remaining seven have varying degrees of injuries."

Cai replied.

"Konoha?"

"Yes, there are sixteen Konoha groups participating in the second exam. Some of these groups obviously came with some special missions, and they don't care about winning or losing."

As for what the special task is, the people present don't need to think about it.

The conflict between Konoha and the Oni Land has not been a day or two, and this conflict is particularly acute in international diplomacy.

"Relying on the strength of the number of people?"

Yiji sneered.

Because the kingdom of ghosts has always followed the elite route, paying great attention to the quality of ninjas, not the quantity.

So after several months of selection, 15 people were finally determined to participate in the joint Chunin exam.

Compared with Konoha's one-time investment of twenty-seven ninja teams, the five team members of Oni Land are indeed at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

"Besides, it seems that the sand hidden ninja is also secretly assisting."

Asuka said a lot.

One of them, he encountered a joint attack from a team of Konoha Shinobi and Sand Yin Genin.

Fortunately, their team was so strong that they swallowed two teams in one gulp, but the rest of the Ghost Country team didn't have this ability.

Once encountering the siege of two or more groups, even if the strength is good, they may not be able to gain an advantage in the battle when they are outnumbered.

"It's no wonder Maggie of Sand Hidden dares to show off in front of me. Is this the idea? It turns out that Konoha and Sand Hidden started thinking about wearing a pair of pants before the exam."

Yiji nodded thoughtfully.

Although he knew that this was the plan of Konoha and Sand Yin, strictly speaking, this could not be a violation of the exam rules.

The so-called exam is free action under the rules.

As long as it does not exceed the limits of the rules themselves, all actions are allowed by the rules, such as strategic alliances.

"It seems that the alliance between Konoha and Sand Yin is closer than expected. They can even share the resources of the Chunin Exam."

Could it be that the shadows of the two ninja villages have reached a deeper strategic cooperation, or has the kingdom of ghosts forced both parties too hard?

In Kazuhime's view, it is probably because of the latter that the alliance between Konoha and Sand Gakure has become more compact.

So much so that he wants to take advantage of this joint Chunin exam to deal a serious blow to the reputation of the kingdom of ghosts.

None of the candidates Yan Yin and Yun Yin advanced. The behind-the-scenes confrontation of this exam was more exciting than Yi Ji imagined.

"I have learned about the general situation. Although it is understandable, it also shows that you are still slack in your usual training. Tell those who failed that after returning, all of them will double their training. In addition, the third game Exam, don't give me the slightest mistake."

Yi Ji stood up from the chair, lowered her arms, her expression softened.

Unlike the first two exams, the third exam is a real individual competition.

The so-called teamwork ability becomes useless in the third exam.

What will be really useful at that time is the strength of the ninja itself.

"yes."

Asuka and the others responded solemnly.

◎

"Then, let's part here."

Tou bid farewell to the rest of Konoha's ninja companions, and took the same group of red copper armor and Ken Meicheng into his own lounge.

After entering the lounge, the three of them immediately felt a gloomy atmosphere, filling the whole room.

In the center of the room, a figure stood there with its back to the three of them.

"Master Orochimaru."

Seeing this familiar figure, Dou knelt down on one knee without hesitation, with no concealment of respect on his face.

After being stunned for a moment, Chi Tongkai and Jian Meicheng, who were following behind the bag, also knelt down on one knee and called out "Master Oshemaru" to express their respect.

Like Dou, Red Copper Armor and Jian Meicheng are also the spies of Yinying Village that Orochimaru has placed in Konoha, and they are charged with the important task of collecting Konoha's confidential information.

"You are back, look at you, you had a good time in the previous exam."

Orochimaru turned around, glanced at Dou with a half-smile.

"Master Orochimaru laughed, those examinees are not a group of cute children. Even if I face the monster inside, I'm afraid I won't be able to get any benefits."

Dou smiled slightly, stood up from the ground, and said to Orochimaru.

"You are still so modest, Dou. With your strength, even if you are the sub-team leader in Anbu, it is more than enough in my opinion."

Orochimaru praised Dou without hesitation.

Dou still smiled slightly, and did not comment on this, but thought of something, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Get up, I feel the presence of you, Oshemaru-sama, in the desert of magic. It seems that Oshemaru-sama finally decided to do it." Out of that choice."

Orochimaru didn't answer, but glanced at Chi Tongkai and Jian Meicheng.

Chi Tongkai and Jian Meicheng understood, and silently exited the room, leaving space for Orochimaru and Dou.

Although they are both spies, their abilities undoubtedly surpass them by a lot.

Even their strength is at the level of genuine JNin, which is very different from those who only have the strength of Chunin.

Seeing the red copper armor and Jian Meicheng leave the room, Orochimaru sighed suddenly, and said to Dou: "Itachi is stronger than me, and I am not sure that I will win when I fight him. When you are alone, you should gamble When there are none, the only thing he can bet on is his own life."

In Orochimaru's view, Itachi is now a person with nowhere to go.

It looks helpless, but it also reveals Itachi's extremely dangerous nature at the moment.

Once such a ferret is provoked, he can do any crazy and terrible things.

Rationality and madness are only in one thought.

"It can be seen that Oshemaru-sama cherishes his life very much."

Pou joked.

"Hehe, the only meaningful thing in this world is to be alive. You who have experienced war should be able to empathize with you. No matter how lofty ideals and sacred missions you had in the past, at the moment of death, there is nothing. remain."

"Can humans... really live forever?"

"If you don't do anything, of course you won't be able to do anything. It's like that idiot Jiraiya spent his whole life chasing meaningless peace prophecies."

Orochimaru sneered.

"Yeah?"

Dou refused to comment on this, and Jiraiya, who is also a Sannin, did not know him well, nor did he understand it deeply.

"What about you? Don't you have a heart for eternal life, Dou?"

Orochimaru looked at the bag.

"I don't think anyone will be indifferent to eternal life, but for me, on the other side of the scale, there is a heavier weight than eternal life. I have always wanted to know who I am. I follow you, Oshemaru-sama, just to Just figure it out."

Tell the truth, and did not hide the idea of ​​Orochimaru.

"Always living in the past will not end well, Dou."

Orochimaru glanced at the bag with regret.

"Perhaps. But I can't understand this question, and eternal life doesn't mean anything to me. As you said, Master Orochimaru, I am a person who lives in the past. The future is too far away from the present, and I never think about it. distant things."

Dou smiled helplessly.

"You really look like a parasite."

Orochimaru commented like this.

Dou was silent.

Parasite?

Thinking about it carefully, I am indeed no different from a parasite.

He can't give himself the meaning of life, he can only let others give his personality and life value, so that he has the motivation to live.

Once the "master" is lost, the parasite itself will also usher in the end of life.

"Let me ask you and Kakashi to take care of Sasuke's affairs. Before I welcome him back, don't let him have any accidents. At that time, the meaning of your existence will also be realized."

Orochimaru patted Dou's shoulder and said earnestly.

"Yes, I understand, Oshemaru-sama. I will take good care of Sasuke-kun."

Dou lowered his head slightly, and the white light was reflected on the lens, making it impossible to see his eyes at the moment.

meaning? Can you really find this kind of thing? Dou was full of unconfidence.

Faced with this situation, how would Kakashi respond? Dou's thoughts became very confused.

Soon, the breath of Orochimaru disappeared from the room, and Dou knew that Orochimaru had left.

At this time, Chi Tongkai and Jian Meicheng walked into the room, saw that only Dou was in the room, and asked, "Du, where is Master Orochimaru?"

Du Ruoru replied nonchalantly, "My lord, he has already left."

"Aren't there any new orders?"

Red Copper Armor and Jian Meicheng looked expectantly at the pocket.

They are looking forward to being reused by Orochimaru, and the reverence for Orochimaru in their eyes is crazy and fierce.

Dou ignored the questions of these two people, and was about to go aside to pack his things.

"Dou, what do we ask you? What is the order from Master Orochimaru?"

Seeing Dou packing up without saying a word, Red Copper Armor and Jian Meicheng immediately became dissatisfied.

"Hurry up and pack your things, we are going to the ghost country soon."

Take care of yourself.

"You bastard-"

boom!

Before the red copper armor finished speaking, he hit the wall directly, spat out a mouthful of blood, then knelt down covering his stomach, the muscles of his face twisted together, he barely raised his finger to point to the pocket, and finally said No words came out.

"Sorry, I'm the captain. If you go against my wishes, you should know what will happen, right?"

Dou casually spread his palms, looking innocent as if he didn't do it himself, and laughed in a teasing tone.

"Dou, you—"

Jianmei Chengye raised her hand and pointed to her pocket, and was about to reprimand her.

"Why, do you want your fingers? I can cut them off for free."

A very gentle smile appeared on Dou's face.

Jian Meicheng's body froze, and under the threat of Dou, she obediently put down her fingers, but the unwillingness and resentment in her eyes were about to explode from her eyes.

"You guys are really useless. If you are a threat of this level, you will just avoid it. It's not that I look down on you. Guys like you will never be able to enter the eyes of Mr. Orochimaru in your life. Just perform the duties of cannon fodder honestly, by the way Give me a good idea of ​​my value proposition."

Dou showed helplessness and a headache, and shook his head.

The red copper armor supported by Jian Meicheng was full of dissatisfaction, staring at Dou's harmless smiling face with resentful eyes.

"Master Oshemaru will realize our value sooner or later. It must be you, a villain, who speaks ill of us by Mr. Oshemaru's side, so that Master Oshemaru has been ignoring us. With a guy like you, Master Oshemaru will miss it So much talent!"

Du Wuyu glanced at the red copper armor.

How did this guy see that he had such thoughts?

If Orochimaru was so easy to fool, would he still be one of the Sannin?

"It's up to you. If you really want to prove that you are a talent, then you should perform well in the third test. At that time, Oshemaru-sama will watch the battle in the audience stand as Otogakure Murakami Shinobi."

He opened his mouth and said.

Red Copper Armor and Jian Meicheng looked at each other, both seeing the excitement and joy in each other's eyes.

"However, if you lose, you will be completely marginalized, and may even be cleaned up as defective products. Don't blame me for not reminding you if you lose at that time."

Dou added something, but the two people who were in the excitement completely ignored Dou's advice.

As the best experimental subjects under Orochimaru, how could they not even be able to beat Ninja?

So Dou's advice, in their view, is just superfluous.

◎

Soon, half an hour of preparation time passed.

When the examinees packed up their things and came to the main gate of the control tower, Kazuki was already standing here waiting for them to arrive.

Seeing the ten groups of examinees, a total of 30 candidates, Yiji just glanced at them, without any greetings, and said directly: "Everyone is here, let's go now."

When it was over, Yiji turned her head and left, her movements were not sloppy.

The examinees didn't have the slightest opinion, and followed quickly, not letting themselves fall behind.

Kazuhime's speed was kept at a level that this group of ninjas could keep up with, trying to take care of some ninjas who were not good at physical strength.

Among the accompanying ninjas, not only the 30 junior ninja candidates from various countries who passed the second exam, but also their guides, jonin, were all present and headed to the kingdom of ghosts together.

"Get up, Mr. Kakashi, what kind of country is the ghost country?"

The speed of the team is maintained at a moderate level, not too fast, but not too slow, even a ninja who is not good at speed can keep up.

In the process of rushing, Sakura asked curiously.

They have already seen the scenery of the Land of Winds.

The endless desert, although very desolate, gives people a strange sense of magnificence.

This is an exotic scenery that cannot be seen in the Land of Fire.

"The country of ghosts... What's the matter, the development of civilization in this country is different from many countries on the mainland."

Facing Sakura's question, Kakashi touched his chin and began to think about how to answer this question.

"how?"

"In the past, the kingdom of ghosts has always been a mysterious country that mainly believes in witches. The witches have a strong humanistic atmosphere, just like our country of fire, which believes in temple culture."

"Temple culture?"

"That is the Temple of Fire. However, with the establishment of the Ninja Village era, the Temple of Fire has long since declined in this era. Only in the important festivals of the year can the monks who can see the Temple of Fire be invited to the daimyo government."

The culture of monks and temples in the Land of Fire has long been replaced by ninjas.

The proportion of monks in cultural transmission is also decreasing.

Just like the samurai in the past, under the impact of the ninja market, it is getting more and more declining.

That's what Kakashi thinks.

"What about the country of ghosts?"

"The priestess culture in the land of ghosts is different. Although this country currently has a large number of ninjas, it has not been impacted by foreign ninja culture so far, and has retained a very complete inheritance. Many times, you can see priestesses in the land of ghosts. It is active within the jurisdiction of the country, exorcising demons and evil spirits. According to statistics, more than half of the citizens of the country of ghosts are loyal believers of shrine maidens, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the 'state religion'."

Sakura seems to understand.

She knows about witch culture.

This kind of culture also exists in the Nation of Fire, but it is not the mainstream. It is only spread in a small area and has not developed too many believers.

"More than that, due to the rapid industrial development of the country of ghosts in recent years, in addition to witches, the culture called Ke has also begun to prevail in the country. The current country of ghosts has gradually changed from a country that believes in witches and goddesses to a country that believes in witches and ghosts. A bicultural country that combines the mystery of witches and science."

The compatibility of two completely opposite cultures seems to many people an incredible thing.

From the point of keeping pace with the times, the Kingdom of Ghosts has indeed done something that many countries cannot.

On the contrary, although the ninja power in the ghost country is very powerful~www.readwn.com~, ninjas are not the mainstream in terms of cultural communication.

While chatting, time was also passing by quickly, the temperature of the air began to drop, and the evening scenery at the other end of the horizon caused many people to immerse themselves in such beautiful scenery, unable to return to their senses for a long time.

"Master Examiner, I think we should camp here temporarily for the night, the cold air is coming."

At this time, Temari, who often lives in the desert, is very experienced.

Yiji looked back at her and said, "I'm not an examiner, I'm just in charge of picking you up to the Kingdom of Ghosts. Besides, you don't need to spend the night outside tonight, as the destination is ahead. This is already the territory under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Ghosts." gone."

Yiji turned her head and pointed forward.

Everyone looked up, and in the boundless wind and sand that blocked their sight, a huge white building stood upright on the sand dunes in the distance, attracting everyone's attention.
