Red Dust

Shiho, who had been staying indoors for a long time and dealing with secret codes, covered her forehead with her hands to keep the sun from shining directly on her eyes. Sweat dripped down her face constantly, making her not so good physique even more lethargic.

Haruno Sakura narrowed her eyes slightly, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand and replied:

"The temperature is not much higher than here. What makes people uncomfortable is that the wind is strong, and the heat waves that roll up the wind and sand are coming in waves. I really don't want to experience that feeling again..."

Having said that, the three female ninjas whose physical strength is not dominant among many candidates fell silent.

Sand Hidden Village has already made ordinary ninjas feel uncomfortable. It is said that what is going on in the "Desert of Demons", which is said to be far more terrifying, is really uneasy.

At this moment, the three Yun Ren talked frivolously and passed by the female ninja team, and the content of the conversation was also in his ears.

"It's really enviable, my heart is so big that I don't know the next difficulties!"

Shiho glanced at the guy who was about to be a contender for the second trial,

"I don't think I have read the exam instructions!"

"Probably got the general rule information in advance, so take it lightly!"

Kurama Yakumo guessed.

After the written test, Shayin Murakami Ryusha took over and simply announced that he would rest for two days. On the third day, he concentrated on going to Shayin Village, and on the fourth day, he went to the Devil's Desert to start the three-day competition for the second test.

"Enough rest, inform the test content in advance, and prepare candidates psychologically. With such a 'intimate' arrangement, it is inevitable that some people will feel that the difficulty of the second test will be reduced..."

Haruno Sakura sighed.

As the candidates who passed the first test, not all of them could break the trap set by the examiner, but other competitors performed worse, so these lucky ones were given a chance.

Therefore, many candidates who were qualified to take the second test did not realize the almost straightforward hint of Sha Ren.

Informing the exam rules in advance is indeed convenient for candidates and makes the difficulty lower, but this is also a relative term.

In the past, it was rarely possible to reveal the exam questions in advance. This time, the examiner in Sandyin Village did so, obviously not worried about the candidates preparing in advance.

"Only when the difficulty is beyond imagination and the chief examiner is worried that no one will pass, so he gives a little preferential treatment..."

The joint chunin exam is not a ninja game, but an arena where people will die, especially the theme of the second exam, I will tell everyone clearly.

Battle Royale!

In the notice of the rules, it is a matter of course to sign the life and death certificate; the real meaning of "may be in danger of life" is definitely much more serious than most candidates understand; "it is recommended to prepare in advance" means that if you are careless, you will not If you are well prepared, you will be considered lucky to be eliminated; "please ask for help as soon as possible when you encounter a strong enemy that is difficult to resist" indicates the level of danger in the "Desert of Demons", and a little hesitation will delay rescue.

As for quicksand, sandstorms, tornadoes, subsidences, desert pests, etc., the degree of danger is not worth listing separately compared to the above.

When did the Chunin Exams think so much about candidates?

Since this is done, there is a reason for it!

If you don't look at the exam rules carefully, and carefully study the potential fatal crisis that may be hidden in it, you may die without knowing how to die!

"Airdrops of food, drinking water, wound medicine, hemostatic bandages, first aid kits, military ration pills, etc., are really a 'safe' test environment! Even the chief examiner feels that without any help, even survival in the wild is difficult. The so-called 'Battle Royale' is out of the question..."

Kurama Yakumo explained naturally,

"It always feels unfavorable to us. None of the three have good physical strength, and they have no experience in desert survival..."

"The key lies in the concept of the 'circle of scourge', constantly gathering candidates to determine the final winner, and not even prohibiting team alliances. Does this encourage alliances in exams?"

Haruno Sakura, the only one who has experienced the last Chunin exam, is a little puzzled. If there are no restrictions, the Konoha ninja with the largest number of people can join forces to eliminate candidates from other villages?

Shiho shook his head slightly and replied:

"I think it may be the initial distribution of this 'Hidden Soul Incense', which will play a key role! With Chakra stimulation, you can cover yourself and reduce the risk of being discovered and attacked by giant beasts and monsters in the 'Devil Desert' Possibly, defeating the wandering 'puppet guards' may get the incense of the hidden soul, and searching for the ruins can also get the corresponding materials. Without it, the candidates may be like rats thrown into the snake cave, trying not to be 'swallowed' , in addition to killing 'wild monsters' to get supplements, only by robbing other candidates' hidden soul incense and materials can they continue to survive in the 'Desert of Demons'. The so-called friendship of the same village is not worth mentioning under such pressure... "

"Large" describes the space of the examination room, and "escape" and "kill" are the themes of the second test of this joint Chunin exam.

"I deeply feel the malice of this Chunin exam..."

Kurama Yakumo sighed slightly,

"Sakura, was it so troublesome two years ago?"

"The difficulty of the exam setting is not too big, the danger is other candidates!"

Speaking of the story of that year, Haruno Sakura couldn't help but recall,

"Except for the ulterior motives like Orochimaru and Yaoshitou, the one who kills the most is today's Kazekage Five Daime Gaara, and the one who causes the most damage is Daimaru. If it weren't for them, the 'Forest of Death' is actually not that dangerous..."

In this year's "Desert of Demons", Sandyin Village obviously "added material" in order to prepare for the joint Chunin exam.

"The second trial lasted only three days, and the 'Death Forest' two years ago had five days, and the level of danger was significantly higher!"

The words of "experienced" seniors are still valuable for reference, Haruno Sakura said after thinking about it,

"It's a pity that there are no materials, otherwise you can make a batch of military ration pills in advance..."

Chapter 0787 The Road

"It's basically certain that there are no official members of the 'Xiao' organization among the candidates, they are all me..."

Daimaru said to Temari in front of him with great certainty,

"Two years ago, Orochimaru would not have gotten into the Chunin exam with the identity of a candidate in the village of grass hidden, but..."

In this short period of time, many spies have been secretly eliminated by Daimaru.

Among them, most of them are peripheral members of the "Xiao" organization.

The ninja organization that has been established for many years cannot have only a dozen official members. There are many branches that radiate outward, most of which are concentrated in the land of fire. The land of wind is not the focus of the "Xiao" organization, but there are also some hidden ones. spy.

Many details make Temari, who is in charge of the garrison, a little troublesome.

"What can I do?"

"Maintaining law and order, protecting compatriots from danger..."

Daimaru replied softly,

"Cleaning up spies is not the task of the garrison, so the Shadow Guard has to take over..."

Only by performing their own duties can they complement each other, and the contest in the shadows must be made by more professional ones.

"However, the Shadow Guard is involved in too much trouble, and it may not be reassuring..."

"With Kankuro here..."

Daimaru waved his hand,

"You have to trust your two younger brothers, Gaara can hold the power of the Shadow Guard and will not fall by the wayside; Kankuro holds the puppet of the third generation of Kazekage, and ordinary masters can't help him. It is impossible to defeat them in a short time. , as long as you hold on for a while, and the support of other sand ninjas, you can make the attackers run away..."

"Then... okay! I'll go back first, and you don't want to leave for too long!"

……

On the tarmac near the sea in the south of Awaji Village, a famous candidate walked into the spacious transport puppet, took his seat, and fastened his seat belt under the guidance of several members of the air combat unit.

After a while, the huge puppet lifted off and headed towards Shayin Village.

"It's no wonder that in the second test three days later, I wasn't in a hurry to set off immediately. It turned out to be flying over, which really saves my worries..."

Looking at the white clouds passing from time to time outside the porthole, they were a little nervous and a little excited when they were at such a high altitude for the first time.

It's just that after a long time, a few people started to become "airsick", which made the sand ninjas who were in charge of escorting chaotic for a while, but fortunately there was no problem in the end.

"How many people do you need to manipulate such a big puppet?"

The eighth class of Konoha Shimonin, sitting in the front row, oil girl Shino and Hinata Hinata are both reticent people, only Inuzuka Ya asks the "flight attendant" opposite from time to time.

"how many people?"

Sha Sui replied embarrassedly,

"I don't know, probably no one! Anyway, I only saw Chaoyan sitting in the driver's seat..."

"Who is Chaoyan?"

"Master Temari's beloved puppet doesn't even know about the famous 'Kaguya Princess'?"

"You mean that..."

Inuzuka Ya pondered for a while,

"I have an impression! However, can puppets also manipulate puppets?"

"Chaoyan is very well-behaved and beautiful..."

When it comes to "Kaguya Princess", there are not many villagers who are not enthusiastic.

Waiting for the "eldest sister" on the opposite side to say a lot, Inuzuka Ya interrupted and asked:

"I don't want to know this! No one needs to manipulate it, this big guy, is it safe?"

From an altitude of several thousand meters, looking down, except for the rolling sand dunes and sporadic oases, I can't see anything clearly. If it falls, it is estimated that it will fall into flesh!

"Don't worry, although Chaoyan is a novice, she is very reliable..."

"Newbie?"

Even the calm oil girl Shino and Hinata Hinata were startled,

"So many people, don't be cautious, what should I do if something goes wrong?"

If I had known that I would not sit on this strange thing, it would be great to run to Shayin Village with a steady and down-to-earth way!The hearts of the candidates who heard the question and answer nearby couldn't help but lift.

At this moment, an updraft hit, the flying puppet jolted violently, and then rushed into a cloud of cumulonimbus. The small ice crystals hit the puppet's body, making a pattering sound, and the violent tremor made people tremble. , the faint thunder in the distance is also worrying.

"Thunderstorms are still rare this season!"

Sha Sui completely ignored the eyes of the candidates around him and said to himself,

"It looks like there will be a heavy rain, but unfortunately not near Shayin Village!"

A few minutes later, the puppet that rushed out of the clouds was bathed in the golden sunlight again, sweeping away the gloomy atmosphere just now, making many candidates feel a little better.

At this moment, a team of sand ninjas flew quickly from afar, and passed by the transport puppets heading north.

"what is that?"

"The special operations team of the Air Combat Force specializes in monitoring abnormal weather and secondary disasters. It also occasionally serves as a cameo in the emergency ambulance team. Its usual task is to observe the direction of ocean currents, forecast fishing floods, and occasionally conduct artificial rainfall. This season, it is so hurried to the southwest. Go, most likely to carry out the locust eradication mission..."

"Exterminating locusts? Did the drought cause a plague of desert locusts..."

As a member of the oil girl family, she did not bring the oil girl Shino on the mission to support the sand hidden village two years ago, but she also knew a lot about it.

"It happens every two or three years, and we're all used to it!"
