Red Dust

"I've decided that after I go back, I'll learn some medical ninjutsu, maybe I'll use it at some point!"

For example, in this Chunin exam, if any of the three people knew a little about medical skills, they would not be eliminated due to an accident.

Just as the two were chatting, a piercing beep resounded, and the deadline for the second trial had come.

Chapter 0819 Reality

In the central tower area of ​​"Desert of Demons", in the hall on the negative floor, all the candidates who were not in good condition were concentrated here, waiting for the examiner to finally announce the results.

Not beyond Daimaru's expectations, in the end, a total of seven groups of candidates stood out from the second test.

In the two groups of Shayin Village, the team formed by the sisters Sha Ye and Shanai and Zi Luo is very strong, and of course they occupy three places. With the advantage of the home court, he survived to the end without any risk.

The trio of Taki Shinobi, Huayan and Yaolang, and the Nan-Tailed Zhuli Fu passed the level without encountering any challenges.

The 12 members of Konoha who advanced, except Kurama Yakumo and Shiho, are all familiar faces from the Chunin exam two years ago.

The eighth class gave full play to the advantages of its excellent reconnaissance ability, and almost avoided the challenges of all the powerhouses. Following the direction of the resource point, they were qualified to "sweep wild monsters" all the way and live in the "safe zone".

The tenth class is about to be in a lot of embarrassment. The advantages of the pig and the deer butterfly are not enough in the vast sand sea. With the accurate judgment of Nara Shikamaru, they also passed the level almost dangerously.

The most powerful Neji Hyuga, Tian Tian, ​​and Luo Li rely on a bit of luck to get here, but if there is an accident on the road, they may be trapped in the illusion enchantment. "Tian Tian, ​​who has been in control for a long time, is still a little confused now, and I don't know if I can win the third trial ahead of time.

As for the Konoha Ninja Team, which seems to be weak, but is actually like a walking natural disaster, what hindered their progress was never a competitor, but a bad living environment. Supported by Haruno Sakura and Shiho, he barely fell.

Gaara, who was long overdue, appeared with the examiner Longsha and Konoha Ninja Morihiki.

Long Sha, who stepped forward, cleared his throat, and then, in the eyes of everyone, announced loudly:

"Congratulations, you have successfully passed the second test! In the past two days, I believe you have also realized that it is not easy to deal with intricate competitive relationships. Everyone has their own methods. We do not expect a unified standard, as long as it is suitable and It works, that's enough!"

Isolation, domineering, alliance, bullying the more with the less, using each other, intrigue, and even tearing down bridges. In just three days, the examiner has seen too much.

In any case, being able to get here shows that they know where the limits of their abilities are, and that they can give full play to them and solve problems, which is success.

"The exam is a selection and an experience. I hope everyone can gain something! Finally, as a senior, I will share some of my own insights. You have different strengths and strengths, each with its own characteristics, but how to use it, many people I can't do it with ease! Force is a very convincing means, but it is also the last resort method. Everyone did a good job in the first half of the sentence. How to comprehend the second half of the sentence has to make persistent efforts! That's all, Zhu Wu Good luck!"

In the corner of the shadow behind, Daimaru folded his arms and watched Longsha retreat. Gaara stepped forward and said something.

Matekai looked very embarrassed, but the students who passed the test couldn't help but sighed in relief.

Hong Yuhi glanced at the three students in Class [-] who seemed to be okay, and felt relieved, and then looked at the pale Kurama Yakumo, and nodded slightly after not finding any major problems.

Holding his elbow and rubbing his chin with one hand, Sarutobi Asma looked at Longsha, and then stared at the indifferent Daimaru from the corner of his eyes, and said casually:

"You sand ninjas, don't you advocate martial arts very much?"

"Weird?"

Daimaru chuckled lightly,

"With the conditions of the Kingdom of Wind, a major defeat may shake the foundation, and it will be hard to recover after more than ten years. Unlike the Kingdom of Fire, another group of geniuses has entered the stage of the ninja world in three and five years..."

"That's weird, as far as the evaluation of 'militant' is concerned, you Sha Ren must be able to afford it!"

During the small talk, the bearded man didn't have any malicious intentions, he just talked casually.

"If there is still a choice, Sand Shinobi will not start a war!"

"Real persecution!"

Asma Sarubi, who has traveled to and from the Land of Winds as a messenger several times, also roughly understands the problem of Sandyin Village.

Unlike Yunyin Village, which is strong and dedicated to expansion and wants to compete with Konoha Village for the status of "Ninja Overlord", the Sand Ninjas have no such idea, risking failure to reshuffle the internal forces, setting off the odds of winning. The main reason for the small ninja war is that there is no other choice.

"Asma-senpai can understand!"

Daimaru had a warm smile on his face,

"Our sand ninja's situation is too bad. If other villages are defeated, they may be able to recover after a few years of dormancy. The Land of Wind does not have such conditions. Civilization and barbarism are actually a step away. When living in a civilized order, living When you can't go down, you can only appeal to savage force..."

After a pause, Daimaru continued with a slightly regretful tone,

"If there is no change, the country of the wind will continue to sink in the cycle of war, defeat, purge, reconstruction, expansion of weapons, and war again..."

In the fluttering words, the hidden sinister is beyond words.

The country of wind is vast, but its resources are very poor. Peace lasts for at most ten years, and it cannot support more new populations.

Even if there is no war, it will be dragged down by famine in the end. It is better to fight hard. It is a pity to fail, but it can also play a role in "reduction", but if the expansion is successful, it will make a lot of money.

When "people" themselves are considered as resources to maintain the existence of a country, the so-called war is a very cost-effective gamble. If you lose this time, if you come back more than ten years later, you will always be able to win once!

"Starving to death or being killed, which is more tragic, for the former Sand Shinobi, it is not a question that requires careful consideration before making a choice..."

Sandyin Village is not like those small ninja villages who have the same problem.

Hong Yuhi, who was listening attentively, turned her head and gave Daimaru a strange look:

"As young as you, considering these issues is really rare!"

Daimaru grinned:

"The younger Fengying Wudaimu in our village is here to teach the brothers and sisters! The children of poor families should be in charge early!"

If you say that, it's true!

Unlike the leaders of other villages, who are either old-fashioned or young and powerful, only teenage children can make decisions in Shayin Village.

"The young people in our Konoha Village are not bad! Being here, it seems that we have seen a new era!"

Bearded nodded in agreement,

"Hopefully there will be no needless wars in the future!"

Chapter 0820 Against

When older seniors see young people who are in their prime and have a bright future, they will always feel the emotion of a new generation replacing the old.

Daimaru only listened to his wish for world peace, but did not take it to heart.

No one wants the cruel ninja war, but as long as there are contradictions between people, it is impossible to eliminate disputes.

Taking ten thousand steps back, if the major countries are really in harmony, how should the profession of ninja handle itself?

It is undeniable that the power of ninjutsu is indeed quite useful. Ninjas can also play various "people-friendly" roles such as architects, nannys, farmers, sailors, etc., but they can't just do these.

Possessing great power, he was born to stand on the opposite side of the vast majority of civilians, and was capable enough to maintain his position.

Even if the wealth and status of all people in the whole ninja world are reset, the ninja can take a relatively favorable position again as a matter of course.

Have a sharp blade in your heart, kill your heart!

Not all ninjas can be expected to be good men and women.

The entanglement between ninja and secular interests is already very complicated, and the conflict between the ninja village and the ninja village is even more complicated, and the war is only a total outbreak that accumulates to a certain extent.

"Little brother, it seems that you don't agree with what you said to me!"

Beard couldn't help but lit a cigarette, took a big mouthful, then let out a sigh of relief, and said to Daimaru with a complicated expression.

"War or something, I said it doesn't count! But..."

Daimaru shrugged,

"At least now, everyone gathers together, holds a Chunin exam, and invites everyone to come and have a look, it's not bad..."

"A peacetime competition?"

Sarubi Asma shook his head.

This communication is not useless, but it does not have the desired effect.

Everyone has seen the results of each Chunin exam, Konoha ninjas have always stood out from the crowd, and the ninjas in other villages are still significantly worse.

However, the Ninja World War is still unstoppable when it should come. There are always forces from various parties who want to weigh whether the overlord of the Shinobi World of Konoha Village is worthy of its name.

"As Senior Asma said, try to avoid 'pointless wars'. Even the Five Shadows sometimes seem a little powerless..."

For example, in the first Ninja World War, due to the civil strife in Yunyin Village, he assassinated the second Hokage Tobirama who went to meet and sign the peace agreement. The two villages went to war, and soon the whole Ninja World was involved. went in.

The fuse of the third ninja war was the assassination of Kazekage III by the Scorpion of Red Sand.

The Konoha collapse plan two years ago was even more ridiculous.

Although Sandyin Village was ready to start a war, it was deceived by Orochimaru, and both Ninja Villages were tricked by a Betrayal Ninja.

At that time, as long as Shayin Village surrendered for a month or two late, maybe Yanyin Village and Yunyin Village would jump out and join the war, and the mastermind behind the Fourth Ninja World War might not be the "Xiao" organization.

"I just hope that ninjas can learn from wars, wars are quite dangerous, and they are not the only way to solve problems..."

This point, Konoha Ninja feels deeply:

"If only Yun Ren could agree with it!"

Just as the two of them were talking, Gaara on the stage said a few words slowly, and the temporarily appointed referee, Sand Hidden Murakami Shinobu Sand, started to preside over the draw for the third trial.

A total of 21 candidates, after getting their own numbers, the match list was announced immediately.

This time, Shayin Village did not pretend to do any electronic random arrangement, but directly let everyone try their luck.

As for whether there is really no tricks, at this stage, as long as the face is decent, no one cares.

No. 21 will challenge No. 20, No. 11 will challenge No. [-], and so on. In the end, No. [-] will be the lucky one who has a bye and will directly enter the third trial.

The rule of choosing the right to challenge two years ago and being eliminated after two defeats was not adopted because the difficulty of this second test was too great, and basically no candidates could persist in two high-intensity battles.In this case, it is very unfavorable for very few unpleasant candidates, and they are likely to be targeted, caught in the wheel battle and eliminated.In view of this, it is better to generously give a bye and a place to be promoted directly. Anyway, everyone's strength is good, no matter who "wins the grand prize", there will not be too much controversy.

In the end, the lucky lottery No.11 fell into the hands of Yume Shino, and Konoha Moshi, who covered her face behind the hood and sunglasses, walked aside with envious eyes.

"The desire to fight a powerful enemy to prove one's strength seems impossible today!"

A boy with a thin sense of existence, his luck has always been good, and this time it did not disappoint.

The first round will start after a 15-minute break, barely giving candidates a little time to adjust.

The first to appear is the contest between Taki Ninja Kagan and Konoha Ninja Hyuga Neji, who was focused on by Daimaru and Gaara.

"The beginning is a battle of dragons and tigers, which is really exciting!"

Daimaru, who was half-smiling, looked in the direction of Neji Hyuga. Except for the fact that his physical strength was a bit heavy and his face was a bit dark, there was nothing unusual about a calm boy who should be able to defeat a Taki Ninja Murakami Shinobi.

The long-awaited Matekai, Kurenai Yuhi and Asma Sarutobi have gone to fulfill their responsibilities as teachers and are cheering for the students.

The six members of the air combat unit who took the test did not have a teacher leading the team, and the only boss present was Daimaru.
