Hidden Otsutsuki

"So that's what it means...you don't have to take it seriously in a one-on-one challenge?" Minato thought in his heart, but didn't say it out loud. On the one hand, he was not sure about the child Yu Ling's thoughts. Maybe his overly mature mind was thinking much more than Minato. Saying such a simple opinion might lower his status.

On the other hand, it was simply not wanting to make him proud.

"Maybe, but what should Yakumo do..." Yu Ling raised his head and looked at Yakumo on his back, his eyes met, and all he could see in the other person's eyes was full of doubts and disgust. "What kind of look are you looking at...don't you like me? Then come down and leave."

"No! What I want to say is...why are you so unsure of me?" Yakumo reached out and tapped Yu Ling on the back of the head. A muffled sound came, but Yu Ling turned back obediently and hurried on. .

Indeed, there is actually no need to worry about Yakumo's strength.

Although performing a ninjutsu requires a relatively long preparation time, it is easy for opponents to take advantage of it during this time. Yakumo, whose physical fitness is extremely poor, is even more impossible to prepare while running, and his frontal offensive and defensive capabilities are almost zero. But the monster in her body does not grow in vain. If it doesn't work, she can throw it out for a while. Idu's fighting power is no longer something that these genin can compete with.

"You are confident...but I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it." Yu Ling knew that he could never tell the truth, so he made up a random one and tried to get away with it.

"You two are the strongest new force of Konoha's generation. You also performed very well in this assessment. When you are duel, be careful, don't die." Minato's expression suddenly became much more serious, serious. Staring at the two of them, their cold eyes made them feel terrified.

I didn’t do anything wrong, but I was still very nervous.

After all, he is the supreme leader of Konoha. Anyone would be a little uncomfortable receiving such attention.

"I understand, Hokage-sama." The two of them were stunned for a moment, responded at the same time, and then turned their heads in embarrassment and looked in another direction.

…

At this moment, in the forest, the crazy sprinting team has grown from one team at the beginning to four surviving teams.

Konoha's second team chose a shortcut in a relatively remote corner and was led by Kai Akane as they galloped through the forest. Although the other two teammates were following not far away, they could clearly see their teammates. The gap and distance between them.

This team has already been divided within the team due to unknown reasons.

Directly opposite them was the Iwagakure team who had just jumped off the back of the giant white bird.

The captain, Akatsuchi, is tall and thick, with strong muscles and strong chakra, allowing him to always serve as the forward and human shield in the team.

Of course, even when he is on the road, he usually walks at the front of the team naturally, and it is the same now.

Following closely behind him was Kurotsuchi, a little girl with black hair. At the end of the team was Deidara who was hiding in the dark. Whether it was due to physical exertion or simply the arrangement of the team, Deidara was quite far away from the other two people, at least out of sight.

The formation has been maintained without confusion, and it can be seen that this team has performed many missions together.

The last team was Kumogakure, who was once on the verge of extinction.

In front were two male ninjas who were rushing madly, and behind them was a female ninja who had given up her struggle long ago.

Completely different from the appearance of other contestants, there was no trace of anxiety in the way they were rushing, but rather a trace of relief and casualness.

For some reason, the two male ninjas in front would stop in unison from time to time, waiting for the female ninja to come into view, and then ruthlessly take a few big steps to get rid of the female ninja again.

"What are these three people doing... Do you dare to play like this in the Forest of Death? Do you really think your life is too long?" The Sensing Troop couldn't help but sigh. There are not a few young talents in this generation, but all of them are... Weird and speechless.

Not only his personality, but also his behavior, IQ, and thinking patterns... are all incomprehensible.

Not just paranoia, but also intuition, blindness, tit for tat... It really makes people speechless.

On the battlefield, these uncontrolled emotions and behaviors can easily lead to catastrophe, ranging from injury and mission failure to death and family destruction.

"Indeed, the students of this class were all born in a peaceful era. They have never experienced war or seen the horrific reality, so naturally they do not understand the importance of discipline... Play as you like, I see, this In the first class, no one is qualified to be a chuunin." An older old ninja snorted with disdain, and he did not look at the children seriously during the entire assessment.

In his eyes, these children are just showmen. If they really go to the battlefield, they can only be cannon fodder.

On his face, a scar ran through the entire face, adding a hint of terror to his already gloomy and serious face. Sitting on the edge of the sensory water ball, the ethereal spiritual power runs through the entire water ball.

"You, don't put so much pressure on these children. It's not like we haven't seen their efforts, so don't deny their achievements... At that time, we had to lead the team to fight every day. Our combat effectiveness all grew from one time to the next. Although they are definitely more practical than their moves, they are gained from the experience of surviving in this battle, but in fact the effects are very average... there is no progress or development." Another old man turned his head and said gently. His legs had long been injured due to the war and had to be forcibly amputated, and he could no longer charge into battle.

"It's true, times are progressing...haven't you heard that our child from Konoha is the hope of a peaceful ninja world in the future! His strength is indeed remarkable. The Fourth Hokage is right His evaluation is very high." Seeing that nothing was happening in the forest, the old people gathered around, like a group of little women, chattering and expressing their opinions. They all held their own opinions and refused to let go. .

"No! Even if there is hope for peace in Konoha in the future, how can he compare with us before?" The scar-faced man still refused to let go, stood up with a roar, and pointed at the feather in the sensing water polo. Ling looked extremely excited.

Not willing to admit that they are better than their former self.

"They are all still young. When we were eight years old, who could achieve such a level? On the battlefield, they just used the pediatric ninjutsu learned from the older generation of ninjas, pretending to help others... For people like them who can stand alone, we couldn't do it back then, right?" Another old ninja who had never spoken much came over. It seemed that several of them were students at the same time back then, and they were all of the generation that was criticized. Ninja fighting elites trained in war.

At least to survive as a sentient ninja, you have to have some special means to save your life.

This is what makes these old ninjas so stubborn.

"Are you on your own? I don't think these children can even do housework! Apart from knowing a little weird ninjutsu, they are definitely not good at anything in life! Today's parents, every one of them is very protective. Child..." Seeing that Scarface was about to run out of words, he directly changed the subject and continued to argue.

It's just that there was a person next to him who didn't speak. He just huddled in the corner, watching the old seniors arguing over there, and quietly observing the candidates in the forest.

Of course, his eyes basically stayed on Yu Ling.

Carrying a person on his back, he was still walking as fast as he could.

He once went into danger alone, but he was able to kill the enemy calmly.

This kind of kid is definitely not ordinary.

But before long, his eyes were attracted by something else.

What could make him take his attention away from Yu Ling was an encounter near the central tower.

The two sides are Konoha's second team and Iwagakure.

…

"Finally, I met someone. My judgment was not wrong." Akane Kai barely suppressed his excitement and said coldly, pretending not to care, but his fists were already slowly rubbing together, ready to take action at any time.

In this examination room, except for Yu Ling's team, which he did not dare to attack, he was not afraid of anyone else.

This can be regarded as a kind of confidence in one's own strength.

The reason for his sudden acceleration was naturally that he wanted to intercept him at the central tower. No matter who he was, he had to come to the central tower.

As long as he is not the last to arrive, he has a chance to stop the next team and start fighting directly.

He felt that he could also fight one against three.

He felt that he could defeat a small team casually.

No harm.

However, he met Iwagakure.

It's not that Iwagakure is so strong, it's just that the three members of Iwagakure have a coordination that no other team can match. The bond between the three also makes it impossible for others to defeat them easily, and it's not even easy for them to get injured.

Meatshield Akatsuki does its job perfectly every time.

"You three, you can withdraw from the competition right here." Akane Kai shouted a little arrogantly, and blue chakra light rose up from his arms, and he opened his arms in a threatening manner.

"Who are you... You want us to withdraw from the competition just because of this little thing?" Kurotsuchi was the first to be unconvinced. She had just woken up, and she happened to be worried that she had no place to vent her strength. The person in front of her looked like herself. Big and stupid people are really good targets.

"I am a ninja of Konoha, and you Iwagakure are not qualified to enter the tower!" As soon as he finished speaking, there was an inexplicable explosion next to his head that obscured his hearing.

Subtle, but devastating.

Needless to say, this is obviously Deidara's method.

"Explode clay debris. Hmm!" The explosion, which was invisible to the naked eye, was fully exposed under Deidara's camera.

The gorgeous little explosion directly ignited Deidara's fighting spirit. After appreciating his art, the beauty of the moment filled his head, and he only thought about how to create the next art.
