Chapter 41 Hunting in the Enclosure
Chapter 41 Hunting in the Enclosure
Young and impetuous.
Nobody wants to miss out on being the center of attention in such an occasion.
However, when the examiner appeared and announced the exam rules, many candidates turned pale.
"I am the examiner for the second exam, Kurenai Yuhi!"
Even at 16, Kurenai Yuhi exudes a mature and sophisticated aura in the eyes of the lower-ranking ninja like Seigo.
Her voice carried a hint of danger, "The rules are simple: this is a battle for the reels."
Kurenai Yuhi held up two scrolls, one with "Heaven" written on it and the other with "Earth".
"Each team will be randomly assigned a scroll."
"Your mission is to reach the tower in the center of the forest within a specified time, carrying a pair of 'Heaven' and 'Earth' scrolls. If you exceed the time limit or fail to collect a pair of scrolls, the entire team will be eliminated."
"in addition……"
Kurenai deliberately made a frightening expression. "Injuries and fatalities are allowed in this exam."
Red Bean muttered under her breath, "Enough with the fuss, let's get started."
Qingwu glanced at her with amusement, thinking to herself: You'll be like this from now on.
"In other words, you can kill, and you can be killed."
Kurenai continued with her task, saying, "So, if you want to quit now, it's not too late."
The genin present were deathly silent.
A few lower-ranking ninjas turned pale, but no one withdrew.
"very good!"
Kurenai Yuhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "I don't know what the Hokage was thinking, assigning me this task. I don't look scary at all."
The staff began to distribute the hair curlers.
The Qingwu team obtained the "Earth" scroll.
"Our goal is to find a team that possesses the 'Heaven's Scroll," Iruka whispered.
"No," Qingwu's lips curled into a smile, his gaze sweeping across the entire area, "our target is all the teams!"
"What?" Iruka's eyes widened.
Red Bean grinned: "Interesting. What's our captain up to?"
"It's naturally going to be a sensation..." Qingwu thought to himself.
However, the main purpose was to give the Third Hokage a more intuitive understanding of his current level of strength, so that he would agree to let him go to the battlefield.
"This is my home turf!"
Qingwu smiled confidently, "Here, I have absolute control over information. I will make it clear to everyone that they have nowhere to hide!"
Iruka gasped, he never expected that the usually "gentle" Qingwu was actually planning something big.
Excitement gleamed in Hongdou's eyes; this was exactly what she wanted.
After studying with the teacher for half a year, I finally came back and wanted to "show off" in front of my old classmates, but I failed.
"I must succeed today..." Red Bean thought to herself, "Leave me a few more 'prey'!"
"Okay!" Qingwu nodded with a smile.
"Begin!" After all the teams were assigned to their scrolls, the chief examiner, Kurenai Yuhi, gave the order.
The team split up.
The genin entered the Forest of Death through different entrances.
Otherwise, if everyone rushes in, conflicts might break out at the entrance.
Of course, most people wouldn't do that.
After all, there were 36 teams, and the second round of testing would last for a full 5 days.
If you are injured in the fight at the beginning, it will be very dangerous in the next few days.
Qingwu and the other two didn't rush inside.
They were very familiar with the Forest of Death, so they told those people to hide first.
"The feeling of hunting..."
Red Bean let out a twisted laugh: "I like it the most."
……
Upon entering the forest, Qingwu immediately released 20 centaurs and 10 wood elves.
Although elves are not as fast as centaurs.
But in their home ground of forests full of trees, they are better concealed.
Activating its natural senses, Qingwu pointed northeast:
"A small squad is hiding at the entrance. Iruka, you're in charge of flanking and covering their retreat. Anko, launch a frontal assault!"
"clear!"
"clear!"
Qingwu knew that Hongdou was eager to show off, so he gave her the first chance.
……
The trio from Sunagakure were resting under a giant tree.
They were all seasoned veterans who had carried out numerous missions. They were very experienced and chose to hide as soon as they entered the forest, setting up warning traps.
"Captain Yura, how long are we going to stay here?" asked the only female puppeteer in the group.
The one called Yura was a Sand Ninja whose face was covered with a white cloth.
He said calmly, "No rush, let the people ahead make the call, we'll set off tomorrow."
"As expected of Captain Yura," the remaining skinny Sand Shinobi praised. "We'll be able to get the scroll easily then."
"Don't be careless," Yura said. "Konoha's Forest of Death is not simple. We need to learn more about the younger generation of other ninja villages..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly raised his head.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow flew over.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Yura reacted quickly and immediately used Wind Release.
However, just when he thought that ranged attacks like arrows would be blown away by his wind technique...
puff!
The arrow was only slightly deflected by the wind and pierced directly into the abdomen of the skinny Sand Ninja.
"ah--"
The skinny Sand Ninja was rendered unable to fight.
"Enemy attack!"
The female puppeteer opened the scroll, and a bizarre puppet with multiple limbs emerged from it.
At the same time, the traps they had set in the bushes made a sound, and four strange centaurs rushed out.
"Be careful!"
The female puppeteer maneuvered her puppets to meet them, saying, "I'll deal with them."
Yura ignored his teammates, his gaze fixed on the sky.
The arrow just now was shot from the tree.
The centaur did not engage in direct combat. After severing the puppet's two limbs, it charged into the bushes on the other side without slowing down.
"Damn it!" The female puppeteer lamented that she hadn't left any enemies behind.
However, what happened next horrified her.
"Clatter!"
The multi-limbed puppet lay on the ground.
"Captain, there are still people here. My chakra threads are broken."
The female puppeteer had barely finished speaking.
"Hand over the scroll, and you'll be spared physical pain!"
Red Bean emerged from behind the tree and retrieved the small snake that had bitten off the chakra thread.
"The ninjas of Konoha..." Yura stared at the headband on Anko's head, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"You'd better listen to her." Qingwu also emerged from the branches above.
"Thud! Thud!" Iruka, hidden in the shadows, used two shuriken to pin himself to the tree trunk, indicating his presence.
"Captain!" The skinny Sand Ninja clutched his abdomen, his hands covered in blood, his face filled with terror. He was worried that his teammates would abandon him and run away.
"Don't underestimate us, you guys from Konoha!" Yura gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
Although they seem to have lost the initiative in the current situation, they are not about to give up easily because of their confidence in their own strength.
Yura formed hand seals: "Wind Release..."
"Shadow Snake Hand!" Red Bean lost her patience.
His techniques are faster to unleash at close range.
Entangled by the giant python, Yura reluctantly surrendered: "The scroll is on me."
"Thanks." Hongdou took the scroll, turned to Qingwu, and asked, "What should we do with it?"
"We have already surrendered," said Yura, a Sand Ninja, in a panic.
