Escape From Konoha

Stopping in front of the huge building standing on the sand dunes, people who saw this kind of building for the first time began to look at this huge building that was incompatible with the desert environment.

From the outside, it looks like a huge box.

But in terms of scale, it is much grander than the fortress buildings in the Demon Desert. . .

The outer wall is cast from an opaque stone material, painted in a snow-white color as a whole, and the stones are perfectly connected with each other, and there is no so-called interval gap. The height of the wall, even a ninja can't jump up it all at once. In the eyes of Konoha's examinees, the white high wall in front of them is as high as the wall height of their Konoha Village.

Not to mention too much,

This white building, despite the wind and sand blowing in the desert, does not move a bit, standing tall.

After Yiji got in touch with the person in charge of Lier, in front of the main entrance of the white building, a tall white stone door began to move upwards smoothly, opening a wide entrance passage.

When everyone walked into the entrance passage, they were surprised to find that the entrance passage was about seven or eight meters long, and this length,

Almost equal to the thickness of the wall.

Even if a wall of this thickness is bombarded with powerful ninjutsu, it will be difficult to break through it from the front for a while.

Walking out of the passageway, a group of ninjas from the ghost country came up to greet them.

The leader is a nearly 30-year-old Oni Ninokunin, who is one of the people in charge here.

Behind him followed twenty ninjas in heavy armor,

The whole body is covered with thick silver-white armor, and every part is tightly stitched, perfectly connected together.

Nothing superfluous or wasted.

Wearing silver-white metal helmets like gas masks, their facial expressions cannot be seen.

These ghost country ninjas in heavy clothes have nothing in their hands, only a heavy firearm capable of long-range attacks is placed behind their backs. Standing there neatly, they give people a sense of coldness and oppression.

In addition, the atmosphere inside the building is very serious.

Above the tall spire, there are not only scouting ninjas, but also a large number of searchlights, patrolling the territory back and forth, not letting go of any corner.

Under such careful and rigorous monitoring, even if a fly flies in, it will be clear immediately,

Not to mention being a big living person.

After handing over the task to the person in charge here, Yiji turned around and said: "Next, please follow my footsteps and don't walk around here randomly. This is a military area. If there is any accident, I will not be responsible for it." .”

After explaining the rules here in advance, Yiji didn't care whether these people heard clearly, and walked forward directly.

The people behind quickly caught up, and they didn't fall behind. Under Yiji's leadership, they came to the dormitory area of ​​this military region. Long before arriving, Yiji had already communicated with the person in charge of this military region and negotiated in advance. So entering the dormitory area, the accommodation problem of the 30 candidates was easily dealt with.

"The rest of the time is up to you to allocate freely, as long as you arrive at the north gate at five o'clock tomorrow morning to gather.

In addition, the dinner will be delivered to your dormitory on time at seven o'clock. Of course, the most important thing is that, your activities can only be in the dormitory area, beyond this area, if there is any problem, I will not be responsible here . "

Ichiki reminded the candidates again, and then left here with the Jonin from the Ghost Kingdom, leaving the rest of the time for the candidates to allocate.

What, it's like being in jail. "

Naruto muttered in dissatisfaction.

"Hey, Naruto, are you planning to do something tonight?"

When Shikamaru heard Naruto's words, he was startled, thinking that Naruto's fearless character, if not restrained, would really cause problems.

If this is Konoha, it's fine, no matter what, there will be people above Naruto.

But this is the territory of the kingdom of ghosts, so you must not follow the rules of Konoha

"Because the more untouchable something is, the more valuable it is to explore,"

Naruto put his hands behind his back, Shikamaru was sweating coldly with an indifferent attitude.

"Don't mess around, that Yang Qun wears armor, he looks like a very difficult guy to mess with. You don't want to be disqualified from the third exam, do you?"

Seeing that Naruto still ignored him, Shikamaru had no choice but to remind Naruto of his eligibility for the third test.

Sure enough, Naruto who heard these words. Reluctantly dispelled the idea of ​​wanting to explore here.

"Then, let's disband here. In the third exam, let's compete again."

Asuka spoke, and left the team with the ninjas from the Oni Nation,

"We're going to rest too."

Tosizhen from Yinyin Village glanced at the direction the Ghost Kingdom team was leaving, then gave Sasuke a casual look, turned around and left with two teammates.

After the Yinyin Village team left, the Xiaren of Wuyin Village and Sandyin Village also left here, and they didn't have much idea of ​​communicating with each other.

"Let's go back too, we've been tired for several days."

Shikamaru stretched his waist and went to his dormitory.

"Naru... Naruto-kun, goodbye."

Saying this in a low voice, Hinata also left with the team.

"Huh? Okay, goodbye."

After being stunned for a moment, Naruto also said goodbye to Hinata. Sakura was curious about the interaction between Naruto and Kaita, and asked curiously, "Naruto, do you have a good relationship with Hinata?"

In Sakura's memory, she has never seen a girl who would initiate a conversation with Naruto.

Even when the seventh class was first established, Sakura was the same, but later changed Naruto to a certain extent.

As far as Sakura knows, during the ninja school period, Naruto and Wei Tian didn't seem to have much communication.

He felt that the current interaction between Naruto and Hinata was a bit suspicious.

Hinata's personality tends to be introverted, and she is extremely shy, so she doesn't feel like a girl who takes the initiative to talk to people.

"Of course it's good, because we're friends. Why do you ask that, Sakura?"

Naruto asked in confusion.

"It's nothing, maybe I think too much."

Sakura shook her head.

friend?

Although this is indeed a reason, even as a girl herself. How did Naruto do it without establishing a good friendship with Hinata?

Therefore, it is just a relationship of friends, which is still a bit weird to Sakura, but where is the weirdness, Sakura can't think of any answer for a while,

"Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, we are leaving too, you should rest early, too,"

At this time, a voice came into the ears of the three Naruto,

Dou stood in front of the three of them with a smile on his face.

"You too, Senior Dou. I hope you can pass the Chunin exam this time."

Sakura glanced at the pocket with some sympathy.

He hasn't passed the Chunin exam for several years in a row, and his age seems to be around 20 years old. It can be seen how bad this senior is in ninja talent.

"Haha, Cheng Xiaoying, you have a good word."

After Dou finished speaking, he suddenly coughed a few times and his face turned pale.

"Senior Dou, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at Tou whose face suddenly turned pale, Naruto was surprised,

"It's nothing. During the second test and the ninja battle of other countries, I suffered a slight injury. I guess it will recover soon."

Dou smiled wryly, looking very lonely.

Sakura felt that there was something wrong with Tou's words, and his appearance didn't seem like a minor injury, so she looked at Tou with almost pity.

If he still took the third exam in this state, Xiao felt that Doudou would probably miss the Chunin this year as well.

"Well, Senior Dou, if you don't mind, I can take a look for you..."

Sakura volunteered, hoping to heal Dou's injuries.

However, before Sakura could move, Sasuke reached out to stop Sakura.

"Sasuke?

"Sakura, don't help him heal, the third exam begins, he may also be one of the enemies,"

Sasuke said indifferently.

"Sasuke, what are you doing? Senpai is just like us, a Konoha ninja—Kazuto couldn't understand Sasuke's behavior, so he yelled loudly.

Before he could finish his sentence, Sasuke interrupted and said, "Didn't you listen to the information that the examiner of the second test gave in advance? Even members of the same team will become enemies in the third test, and what's more Not to mention the rest of the group. So, from now on, until the end of the third exam, I, you, and Sakura are all enemies, "

Sasuke's words shocked Naruto and Sakura, but the expressions on their faces still seemed rather tangled.

Especially Naruto, even if he knew that Sasuke's words were right, he still couldn't agree.

"There is only one way to become a Chunin, and that is to defeat all the enemies in front of you. Teamwork battles,

After the second exam, it also ended together. If you and Sakura still have this naive idea, even if you successfully defeat your opponent, you won't be able to become a Chunin. "

But…

What else would Naruto say, interjected and said:

Wu Ren-jun, what Sasuke-kun said is right, from now on, I am your enemy, and I am no longer your senior, you have to keep this in mind, I will deal with my injuries yourself, "

Saying that, Dou led the red copper armor and Jian Meicheng to leave, leaving Naruto and the three still staying in place.

"Sasuke, are you going too far?"

After walking away, Naruto said dissatisfiedly

"I'm just speaking according to the rules of the third test. If you still want to become a Chunin, and then have the idea of ​​becoming a Hokage, then you can only do so."

Seeing that Naruto still had dissatisfaction on his face, Sasuke sighed, looked at the direction where Kabuki and the others left, and said something unclear:

"In addition, this guy is a bit weird, it's better not to get too close to him."

At five o'clock in the morning the next day, it was just dawn.

On the vast desert, most areas are still in darkness.

At the exit of the north gate of the military area, all the candidates for the third exam, as well as their instructors, all gathered here, and no one was left behind.

In the exit area of ​​the north gate, a railway track was laid on the desert, extending to the sky where the edge could not be seen. A train with twenty carriages had already stopped in front of the platform at the north gate of the military area, ready to go.

"What kind of weakness is this?"

Naruto, who had never seen a train before, was shocked and unbelievable by the long steel worm in front of him.

After all, in Muye Village, he had never seen such a strange thing.

"This is a train... Well, if you compare it to the country of fire horse-drawn carriage, this is a relatively advanced means of transportation. Whether it is transporting goods or carrying people, its functionality far exceeds that of a horse-drawn carriage."

Kakashi explained

"Transportation? But didn't you see the horses coming to pull it?

Naruto hugged his chest, looking puzzled.

"That's because the energy that drives the train is Chakra, and it doesn't need the horses behind to pull it."

"Chakra?"

Naruto's mind became even more confused.

He knows that Chakra is an important energy used by ninjas to perform ninjutsu, but why do you need Chakra to drive the train?

"It's really interesting, and it's also a symbol of strong industrial capabilities."

Sasuke put his hands in his pockets and commented on the train in front of him.

While other countries are still using the original carriages, the Kingdom of Ghosts has obviously carried out updates and iterations on the means of transportation, using the country's strong industrial creativity to create a means of transportation that is more convenient than horses.

This means that once a war breaks out, the Kingdom of Ghosts will be able to mobilize domestic forces more quickly and effectively than other countries to seize various opportunities.

Thinking of the many Oni Ninjas wearing heavy armor in the military area, Sasuke felt as if he had seen a corner of the future.

The fighting methods of ninjas are likely to no longer be limited to the battles between ninjutsu, physical jutsu, and illusion. The weapons and equipment equipped may also become a standard for evaluating the strength of ninjas.

It's just that at present, the ninja's fighting style is still more inclined to the traditional side.

Under Yiji's arrangement, the candidates got on the train in order. There were three single-person boxes in each car, and one car was allocated to each group.

Candidates are not dissatisfied with this arrangement. They can take convenient transportation to the country of ghosts. No one wants to walk such a long distance on foot. The wheels began to roll, heading north.

"Isn't this too powerful? Teacher Kakashi, when will Konoha build a train?"

The scenery on both sides of the outside panned backwards, and inside Sasuke's room, the leader of the seventh class, Jonin, and the members gathered together.

Naruto saw that the scenery outside the car window was constantly shifting backwards. Even though the speed of the train was getting faster and faster, they couldn't feel comfortable in the car, and it was very stable. sound.

Obviously, he is very satisfied with the train as a means of transportation, and even imagined that it would be nice if Konoha also had such a convenient means of transportation.

In this way, no matter where you go, it seems that you don't have to work hard, and you can also enjoy various scenery during the journey.

"Well, with the financial resources of the village alone, it is estimated that it is difficult to maintain such a fee."

Kakashi spoke the truth.

Leaving aside the cost of making and setting up the rails, the value of the train itself, as well as the annual maintenance costs, are all astronomical figures.

Most of Konoha's reserve funds are now invested in the military and medical fields, and there is no extra money at all to improve the traffic problems in the village.

But this aspect also involves the distribution of various interests. It's not that Fire Country Well doesn't want to improve domestic transportation, but that the nobles have been unable to form a unity in the distribution of interests. It can only be held continuously, shelved, held a meeting, shelved again...the cycle of this process. Moreover, in the eyes of the nobles, improving domestic transportation is not a very necessary thing.

"What, if I become Hokage in the future, I must build a train in the village so that everyone can enjoy it!"

Naruto was not very satisfied with Kakashi's answer, so he spoke his inner heart.

Watching there and imagining the future. Naruto with a confident lake face, Kakashi's eyes worried about you for a moment, as if he saw a familiar figure that had long since passed away.

However, Kakashi didn't last long in this daze, and he came back to his senses and said: "Before that, Naruto, you can become a Chunin first. It's not as simple as saying that you want to become a Hokage."

Even if he became Hokage, it would be impossible for Kakashi to change this problem.

This policy of compromise has already set the tone since the period of the first Hokage.

In a sense, Ninja Village also belongs to the upper class.

A class that wants to break its own existence means many contradictions in itself.

Running counter to the inherent tradition, not everyone can and dares to do it.

"Speaking of which, Sasuke, how is the curse mark on your body?"

Kakashi shifted the topic to Sasuke.

Sasuke subconsciously touched the curse mark on the back of his neck with his hand, as if it started to hurt again, he frowned and said: "I can initially use the power in it, but if I use too much, it will still cause damage to my spirit and body. It's a big burden. The seal of the curse is good as the finale hole card, but there is no way to use it routinely for the time being."

I don't know why, but since I got this curse mark on my body, my perception of natural energy has become sharper.

Sasuke suspected that the curse seal left by Daimaru had a lot to do with natural energy.

"Since this is the case, then Sasuke, don't use this kind of power. Anyway, you are already very strong now. That Orochimaru must have ulterior motives for leaving the curse seal to you."

Sakura said dissuadingly.

"I will think about it."

Sakura's words made sense, but Sasuke didn't intend to do it.

The curse seal is a double-edged sword. If you don't use it well, you will harm yourself, but if you use it well, it can become a powerful help for you.

For him who is in urgent need of strength, this is undoubtedly a huge windfall.

Most importantly, he has the confidence to control the power of the seal. In this way, the curse seal left by Orochimaru,

There is no such thing as risk.

No matter what Orochimaru is going to do to him, the ultimate beneficiary will be him.

"If you really can't control the curse seal, remember to tell me Gin. Orochimaru has been away from Konoha for ten years. No one knows what purpose he is showing up at this time. Be careful in everything."

Kakashi said to Sasuke,

Sasuke didn't know if he listened, but just nodded.

"Okay, then you have a good rest, I won't bother you."

Kakashi got up to say goodbye and walked out of the room.

"Ten groups, thirty people... This number is a bit too much."

In the office, Baishi frowned slightly after getting the materials of the thirty candidates who participated in the third exam.

According to his original intention, the number of participants in the third test should be kept below 20.

The position of more than ten people,

Thirty contestants were a bit beyond Shiraishi's expectations.

He had some doubts. The difficulty of the first and second exams was due to Konoha and Sand Hidden's arrangement being a little too simple, which led to so many slipping through the net and getting the qualifications for the third exam.

"There are close to 300 ninjas taking part in the chunin exam, and one tenth of the candidates get the qualification for the final exam. Strictly speaking, it's not too many."

Yin Di Dao sitting on the sofa

"It's better to lay off a few people. Thirty people are too many. I think fifteen people is just right."

Baishi said.

"Why, are you going to conduct the assessment in two batches?"

Ayane asked.

"I have this idea. According to the plan, the Open will be held in a week, and businessmen, officials, and ninjas from all over the world will be invited to watch the battle. Before that, let's have an internal knockout match and skip 15 people , leaving fifteen people to participate in the final open competition."

Shiraishi thought for a while and made this decision,

"You are really merciless, and you have deprived fifteen candidates of their qualifications to participate in the Open Competition at will."

"No way, it was said at the beginning of the Open that it will only be held for one day. In one day, a total of 30 candidates,

There is definitely no way to complete the assessment at once, "

If the open competition was held for two days, Baishi would not mind letting thirty candidates play together. However, inviting high-ranking officials from so many countries, as well as big businessmen from all over the world, to gather in the Kingdom of Ghosts for a day is already very tight in terms of time. If the duration of the Open is changed at will, it may cause unnecessary controversy at that time.

So, what about the venue? Looking for a temporary one?

The continuation continued to ask.

"No, just use the official venue of the Open. Not only that, but the rules used in the preliminaries will be

It is also the same as the official open competition, so that candidates can adapt to the environment and rules of the open competition in advance. "

Shiraishi thought for a while and said.

Different from the free battle under the rules of the second exam, the individual bubble knockout competition system of the third exam has a bottom line rule—that is, all candidates must abide by the premise of not killing their opponents.

Because the groups of the two exams are different, the rules will be modified to a certain extent.

"As for the time... the group of candidates will arrive at around three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and they will be given a night's rest. The time for the preliminaries will be held at nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow~www.readwn.com~ Baishi will be finalized soon time for the qualifiers,

"In that case, I'll take someone to set up the venue first."

Continuation stood up from the sofa.

"Then please."

Zishi nodded, and rest assured to leave this matter to Hangyin.

He Wei continued to pick up the materials of 30 candidates, watched them, and finally locked his eyes on one of the candidates

"Yao Shidou... Pharmacist... This surname is really a bit special."

If I remember correctly, in the intelligence department he established, there is a senior intelligence officer with the surname of Pharmacist.

Pharmacist Nonoyu.
