Red Dust

"It seems that a consensus has been reached. The first test will give the candidates a show, and the second test will be a traditional, team-based actual combat competition. There are too many requirements, and even those who are under-ninth can't do it..."

What kind of strategic thinking, such as combining vertical and horizontal, connecting the weak against the strong, preempting others, and attacking others later, is simply not something that children who are not Chunin can play.

As Daimaru's words fell, the entire venue was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"Still the same, scroll battle?"

Sennei asked calmly,

"It's enough to select ten outstanding ones in the end!"

"That's it!"

Daimaru tilted his head for a while and replied,

"Last time in the Chunin exam, someone used a fake scroll to confuse the public. I'm afraid that this time someone will follow the same example, why don't you change it!"

The scar-faced man was speechless for a moment, and looked at the chatty guy in front of him with a strange expression, as if it was not him but an irrelevant outsider who caused trouble back then.

"Or... adopt the 'Battle Royale' unrestricted competition mode, and after three days, select the required promotion according to the rules..."

"Battle Royale?"

Hearing this obviously malicious word, Ao and Azabuyi were very interested, and even the loess had the idea of ​​understanding, only Morinai Ibiki had a bad premonition in his heart.

After arranging some words, Daimaru replied calmly:

"The area of ​​the Devil's Desert is huge, many times larger than the traditional examination venue 'Death Forest' in Konoha Village, and the environment is even harsher, making it difficult to survive, so there is no need for scroll competition, fast marching and other qualified tasks. When the time comes, the surviving candidates will be selected, and it will be almost..."

The simpler the rules, the more perilous it is, not to mention Daimaru's rhetoric, which is obviously unfinished.

"This is just a little more difficult to survive in the wild, isn't it too monotonous?"

The torture expert Ibiki Mori was a little puzzled. As the second test question, the difficulty seemed to be enough, but it didn't quite meet the needs of the Chunin selection.

"What if there are candidates who are opportunistic, find a hidden place to hide, and miss the exam time?"

"How could it be? Don't say whether there is a geomantic treasure land where the Genin can survive safely. Even if there is, it does not mean that it is foolproof..."

Daimaru grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, with a sense of sternness all over his body,

"During the official exam, a rigid elimination mechanism of the 'scourge circle' will be introduced. If all candidates outside the circle cannot return to the circle within a certain period of time, they will lose their qualifications for the examination..."

"The scourge circle?"

Daimaru waved his hand and motioned everyone to wait for an explanation:

"The so-called 'circle of scourge' is an ever-shrinking 'elimination dead line', which has little effect on all candidates at first, but as time goes on, it will continue to squeeze candidates' activity space, and finally they have to gather together. Fighting for qualification..."

"interesting!"

The well-informed Ibiki Mori recognized this selection method, which is simple and direct, not only testing strength, but also combating opportunistic candidates.

As long as the narrowing direction and magnitude of the "circle of scourge" are selected, the influencing factors of luck can be eliminated to the greatest extent.

The only problem is that it is not very easy to implement.

"If you want to improve the details, you need to make a lot of preparations. It seems that Guicun has not been very poor recently..."

"What I can do is still unambiguous!"

Daimaru nodded implicitly. As long as the assessment method is approved, it can be said about the specific implementation. The so-called "circle of scourge" is just a proxy name, whether it is implemented by enchantment or other means, it has little effect.

Daimaru even prepared to prepare some dangerous beasts, poisons, puppets, etc. in the Demon Desert that completely exceeded the ability of Chunin to deal with it. In the stage of candidates "out of the circle", the originally harmless background creatures will continue to "outside the circle" candidates. Launch an attack to further increase the difficulty of the "out of the circle" assessment.

Even drop a little fresh water, canned food, healing medicine and other supplies in the circle, otherwise, the Devil's Desert is so dangerous, those students who are under-ninth have no supplies, and it will be difficult to survive in it for a few days, not to mention fighting desperately for the promotion.

After roughly talking about some ideas, some of the exam settings made the "old examiner", Ibiki Mori, shine.

"The difficulty seems to be a little bigger, but the excellent Genin in the whole ninja world gathers together, and there must be a lot of people. If the elimination rate is not high, the third trial will not be able to go on."

The representatives of Konoha Village did not object, Mabuyi was noncommittal, and Loess didn't bother to care. After the memorandum of the meeting was sorted out and signed, the five village talks, which were not solemn, were over.

Surprisingly, when it was time to leave, it was getting late, and Konoha Village also managed a meal and specially arranged a sumptuous supper.

After finishing the day's arrangements, it was almost midnight, Daimaru leaned on the sofa to rest and let out a sigh of relief.

"Even as a ninja, there is no shortage of socializing! Fortunately, everyone is not a scene person, and what you say is something to say..."

"When your words and deeds do not represent you alone, invisible pressure follows you around, so you can't do whatever you want..."

Temari poured a glass of cold water for Daimaru, sat opposite, and said seriously,

"Do you have other plans for what you said today?"

"more or less!"

Daimaru drank all the water in the cup in one go, making the hot and dry internal organs a little more comfortable.

"Strengthen the control of the second test. There is the final choice. If there are people with ulterior motives who want to find trouble, it will be the last chance..."

"Isn't it unavoidable? Mingming Village has been doing well recently..."

"Long pain is worse than short pain, we are running out of time!"

Daimaru interrupted Temari's words, and said with some regret,

"The mistakes of the past must be settled, and the burden can be put down before you can go into battle lightly..."

The roar that once resounded in the village of Sandyin, and the bloody smell wafting in the wind at night, can't be fooled like this. Daimaru can create a solution for them, but how to do it, Gaara himself has to choose, even with Temari. Neither Kankuro nor Kankuro could be of much help.

"Don't worry, I have already arranged it, and I will do my best so that the ending of a kind person will not be a tragedy..."

Chapter 0768 Cutting

Even in the bustling night market, there are times when it ends.

On the street in the dead of night, except for the occasional movement of the night owl, the sound of frogs and insects can attract people's attention.

The land of fire in early summer is very different from the land of wind. I am used to the whistling of the night wind, but my dream will be disturbed by the chirping of crickets outside the window, even if the former is far louder than the latter.

"The so-called "do as the locals do" sounds simple, but it's actually not easy to do! 』

Daimaru, who didn't have high requirements for sleep time, woke up before dawn. He was in a sensitive place in a foreign country and wanted to go out for morning exercises. Looking at the east, there was no sign of dawn, so he had to give up this idea for the time being.

But sitting in front of the window, looking at the starry sky outside the window was quite boring. After thinking about it, Daimaru put down a double puppet, and the main body quietly slipped out of the hotel without disturbing anyone.

A few minutes later, the fast-moving Daimaru came to an uninhabited place.

"This is Nanga Shrine, it's desolate enough! 』

The main building on the ground was almost completely demolished, and it is estimated that even the broken bricks and tiles were looted by Shimura Dan.

As the shrine of the Uchiha family, I don't know which great god was enshrined in the first place.

After checking the surroundings for a while, Daimaru, who found nothing, finally came to a pedestal-like step with a high middle and a low surrounding.

"It's here, what a hidden door! 』

Although Nanga Shrine is hidden, it is not completely meaningless. Although its core is hidden underground, the traces left by the enchantment rituals above are so obvious, even the battle traces of the past, even after so long, still. There is still some residue.

Daimaru, who stretched out his right hand, released a chakra thorn, pierced a hole in the hidden barrier, and took out a huge rock, and the entrance to the deep basement appeared in front of him.

After setting up a few stable illusion formations around, Daimaru jumped, passed the long corridor, and came to a spacious sacrifice ground. The mysterious stone tablet in the center of the front came into view.

Daimaru, who had no reverence at all, stepped forward and gently stroked the surface of the stone tablet with his hand. An obscure aura filled the air, which was so conspicuous in Daimaru's perception.

"Is this the creation of yin and yang?"

The power fluctuations scattered on the stone tablet were not strong, nor did it bring a sense of danger to Daimaru. However, this elusive feeling of elusiveness had never been experienced before.

In an instant, an uncontrollable thought of greed came to mind, and Daimaru, who almost dazzled his head, was about to swallow this magical stone tablet.

After some hesitation, Daimaru, who finally calmed down, took a few steps back.

The treasure left by the Six Paths Immortals to the descendants of Indra, Hei can definitely change it. If Daimaru takes it away, it will cause any trouble, no one can say.

Even if this thing can be used as an important reference for practicing Yin-Yang Escape, Daimaru is too hard to predict the consequences of taking it as his own.

There's a whole difference between a little touch and domination.

But let it go, and a little unwilling.

After thinking about it, Daimaru released Yujin, which was covered with a layer of black material, to activate the spell seal to the maximum extent, and then focused the natural energy into his body, only to see his body began to swell, especially his abdomen, two struggling. The body is like a "bud", showing two halves of the body, one of which is somewhat similar to Daimaru, the other is a bit like Uchiha Obito, and a bit similar to Uchiha Sasuke.

The faces of the two were different, and they both had their eyes closed. It seemed that half of their bodies were constantly twisted because they were urged too quickly, and then Daimaru grabbed them and pulled them out.

The immortal-like magic and the bizarre distant shadow that have been sublimated from Ukon's blood-based limit and parasitic ghost-destruction technique still have a lot of shortcomings, but as a "material" contributor to Daimaru's special forbidden technique, it is completely enough.

The two bodies, which were partially mutilated, were injected with most of their own characteristics by Daimaru. In the past, they were either used as crude embryos for making regenerated nuclei, or they became experimental objects.

Today, Daimaru has to use something else.

After making up his mind, Daimaru took out the death mask "picked up" from Orochimaru, and gave it to the shell that contained some fragments of the Uchiha family's blood. Immediately, a heart-pounding aura appeared in the basement.

"It's terrible, is this the god of death?"

Looking at the terrifying shadow in the void behind him, there are still traces of the last time Orochimaru broke the ghoul seal on his abdomen. The wound has healed for most of it, but it still hasn't disappeared.

Knowing the critical moment, Daimaru stretched out the star puppet line, and through the soulless shell, he indirectly manipulated the god of death, waving the blade of the god of death, and slashed towards the Uchiha family heritage stone monument not far away.

There was no violent collision, and the stele was not damaged in any way. It was just that the blade of the god of death slashed and cut out a piece of dark purple and almost black chakra. Completely split, then pressed into another drive case.

"Forbidden Technique · Psychic Reincarnation!"

This is the first practical application of the results of the Yaki-no-shu joint research with the Kurama family.

A reserve of regeneration core is then consumed and injected into it as a connection point between the cut energy and the soulless expelling shell.

Difficult to control this powerful force, within a minute, Daimaru consumed a huge amount of mental power, but fortunately, they finally merged into one.

Later, Ujin integrated this expelling shell with mysterious power into his body, and was possessed by Bai Jue's clone, providing chakra and vitality support at all times to avoid accidents.

Daimaru, who was slightly relieved, was about to end his act, and suddenly felt a horrific crisis. He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the god of death, only to see the soul blade in his hand pointing to swallow the energy that he cut down. 's shell.

"Is it necessary to make sacrifices? It's really an ominous force!"

Daimaru gave a wry smile, this thing is really not affordable for ordinary people, but it has come to this point, it would be a pity to give up halfway.

Directly incorporating Ujin and all the avatars of the White Jue into the body, together with the shell that contained the alien chakra, Daimaru sensed the natural energy and prepared to enter the fairy mode at any time, while using the star puppet line to control the flesh-and-blood drive with the mask of death. It's a pity that Death's struggle is too intense, and he can't control it freely.

"It's really troublesome to have such a serious backlash effect!"

Although it was a bit dangerous, since he did this, Daimaru was naturally not afraid. When he was wrestling with the god of death, he quickly turned on the immortal mode and prepared to make a gesture with the god of death who was not very obedient.
