Then someone raises their hand and quits. With that as an opportunity, more and more people quit and drop out.
Ibiki smiled slightly and spoke again.
“I’ll say it again, this is your last chance!
It’s a matter of life, so choose wisely!”
“Kuh…keuh…I’m giving up…!”
“Me too!”
Listening to Ibiki’s words, the number of dropouts increases.
Ibiki looks around at the remaining students and stops at Sasuke, who is trembling with anxiety.
‘That child is… Uchiha… Let’s check how big the bowl is..’
“Hey, black hair. Why don’t you give up quickly instead of being so anxious?”
At Ibiki’s words, the eyes of the people who remained focused on Sasuke.
Then, Sasuke smiled and opened his mouth.
“Heh, don’t be ridiculous! I’m not nervous, I’m angry!
Was this just an intermediate ninja test?”
“Geuk, that bluff is amazing. Are you really not giving up?”
“A word once spoken, I will keep it until the end… That’s my ninja way!”
The faces of the people who were trembling with anxiety after hearing Sasuke’s words begin to change. And even after time passes, there will be no more dropouts. Ibiki laughs and opens her mouth while exchanging glances with the other examiners.
“It’s a wonderful decision…Then, to everyone present here…I declare that I have passed the first exam!!”
“…?!”
“What?!”
“Then what about question 10?!”
“In the first place, there was no problem number 10. After all, it can be said that the choice you just made is problem number 10.”
“That doesn’t mean 9 questions are completely useless?!”
“No, it’s meant to test an individual’s ability to gather information.
In other words, the test was conducted on the premise of cheating. Two guys who knew all the answers were hiding here!”
Hearing Ibiki’s words, the two stood up and walked towards the examiners. Some are making faces of course, and some are embarrassed.
“Of course, if you cheat badly, you will be disqualified!
Because information is more important than life from time to time.
That’s why we’re risking our lives to take it away.”
Ibiki removes her hood to reveal the tortured scars on her head. Seeing that, many people’s faces darken.
“That…but I still don’t understand question 10.”
Ibiki puts the hood back on and opens her mouth.
“But… this question number 10 was the real question of the exam.
No matter how risky a gamble is, there are times when it must be done. Because of that, the ability to give courage to allies and break through counterattacks!
These are the qualities required of an intermediate ninja.”
Hearing Ibiki’s words, most of them smiled and nodded.
Ibiki laughs and declares in a loud voice.
“The first test is over! I wish you guys good luck!”
As soon as the acceptance is certain, most of them begin to shout and rejoice. Just then, the window breaks and someone enters.
At the same time, using a shuriken, a tent with the words ‘The second examiner Anko has appeared!’ is hung from the ceiling. She quickly stands up and shouts.
“I’m the second examiner, Anko Mitarashi! It’s too early to rejoice!
Go to the next test site. Come follow me!”
“78 people..? Hey, did you have 26 teams left?!”
“There are a lot of excellent guys this time…”
“Heh, it doesn’t matter. I’ll make it less than half in the second exam.”
The second test site that I moved along with Anko was a huge forest with a piece of paper that said, “No entry area” attached to it. Enko laughs and opens her mouth in an exaggerated pose.
“This is the second test ground, practice field 44… aka, the forest of death!”
When Anko finished speaking, a caw sound came from the forest.
The atmosphere and appearance itself makes me think that it is worthy of the name. Anko starts handing out papers to the nervous children. The paper had an agreement written on it.
“Because deaths are starting to come out from now on. You have to get consent for that!”
Each person receives a consent form and is divided into teams. And Anko shows a scroll with the words Earth and Heaven written on it, and begins to explain.
“To briefly explain the test here, it’s ‘Extreme Survival’. This place has 44 entrances. Enter through the assigned entrance and come to the tower in the center, which is 10km away. This test is for this exam.”
“Surprisingly easy…”
“Of course it doesn’t end here! I’ll give each team either the Book of Earth or the Book of Heaven. Bring the Scroll of Heaven and Earth to the tower by any means! In other words, it’s a scroll battle!”
Hearing Enko’s words, most of them swallow, and start to get nervous.
Looking at these children, Anko opens her mouth with a happy expression.
“However, you have to collect all the scrolls and arrive within 5 days!
Fufu, even if you give up halfway through, they won’t accept it. Who wants to give up, give up quickly? Otherwise… I might die♡”
Naruto listens to the explanation and reads the death consent form.
The word “death” reminds Naruto of Moon Truk Haku. Because of that, he misses the consent form and is blown away by the wind. The moment Naruto is about to move to grab the consent form, a long tongue appears and grabs Naruto’s consent form.
The owner of the tongue is a woman wearing a grass village circlet and a large hat? male? was The person returns the consent form to Naruto and opens his mouth.
“Oops… you have to be careful. The consent form… I’ll return it…”
“…thank”
“Huh, say nothing…”
Naruto receives the consent form and returns to his place.
Full village ninja licks his lips with a long tongue while watching Naruto like that.
‘That child… Exactly.. Kkeuk’
“One last thing! Never open the scroll before reaching the tower! Alright, then the explanation is over! summer solstice!”
Sasuke begins to think while looking at the agreement.
‘indeed… You mean you don’t even know which of the three has the scroll… furthermore… Everyone here is an enemy… !’
When it’s their turn, Sasuke takes Naruto and Sakura and enters the tent to receive the scroll. The scroll received after signing the consent form
It was a book of heaven. Sakura receives the scroll and opens her mouth.
“Then…which of us would prefer to have the scroll?”
“The scroll is Naruto, you should keep it.”
“What? Why to fruit?! Sasuke, what you have is the safest…”
“Just by looking at my appearance, I look the strongest. In other words, I think I have a scroll and I can be targeted. But Naruto has a low chance of being targeted, and even if he does, he has the ability to run away or fight.”
“…Wow…sure…”
Sakura handed the scroll to Naruto with a reluctant expression. Naruto puts the scroll into his bag without a word.
After some time, they each go to their assigned entrance. and… The entrance door opens and the test begins.
“aagh-!”
“…!”
“Is that a human scream?”
“Sakura, don’t worry. And take heart.”
“Yes!”
At that time, a shuriken was stuck in the middle of the three people somewhere.
And the shuriken had a detonator attached to it.
Sasuke screams and moves quickly.
“Avoid everyone! It’s a detonation charge!”
Kwakwang-
An explosion occurs and the three quickly disperse. The dust disappears and the three of them gather again and look around. Sasuke was the first to speak.
“Is everyone okay?”
“Yeah, Sasuke is hurt, isn’t he?”
“So, what about Naruto?”
“I’m fine too. I’m glad everyone seems to be safe. Hehe”
“…!”
As soon as Naruto finished speaking, Sasuke jumped up and punched him.
Naruto couldn’t dodge his fist and flew away. Naruto shouted with a puzzled expression.
“Sa…Sasuke?!”
“What…what is this!”
“Where is the real Naruto?”
“What does that mean…”
“Naruto doesn’t talk that much… Besides, he’s not the type to laugh while worrying about us! Above all, he couldn’t escape my fist!”
As if realizing what Sasuke said, Sakura raises her shuriken and begins to be on guard. Then Naruto’s appearance changed and he became a man wearing a non-village circlet, and shouted as he ran.
“Damn it, it’s an exercise in skill! Who’s got the scroll!”
“Hwadun, Bongseonhwa Liquor!!”
The non-village ninja quickly dodges Sasuke’s balsam technique and throws a shuriken. Sasuke opens his Sharingan and dodges the shuriken, then closes the distance and kicks. The non-village ninja blocked it with both arms as a guard, but was blown back due to the impact. Sasuke makes a seal right away and quickly.
“Keugh!”
“Hwadun, luxury beads!”
“Aaghhh?! Hot?!”
“It’s over!”
Sasuke pulls out a shuriken and aims it at the neck of a burnt down non-village ninja. The non-village ninja clicks his tongue and shouts.
“Damn! Hey! Come on help me!”
A non-Maul ninja shouts and someone appears from behind.
Sasuke looks back in surprise. Out of there was Naruto, who was leading a non-village circlet with two males .
The detonator explodes, and Naruto quickly climbs up a tree.
At that time, Kurama senses the enemy and informs Naruto.
Naruto looked in the direction Kurama had pointed out, and shurikens were flying. Naruto makes a seal and activates the technique.
“Pungdun… Hot wind sleep..!”
A strong wind begins to blow from Naruto. The shurikens could not overcome the wind and flew away. Naruto immediately takes out a shuriken and throws it at the location where hostility is sensed. The shuriken misses and gets lodged in a tree next to the non-village ninja.
“…Did I miss it?”
“Heh, I was a little surprised to see the technique, but it’s like a kid. Let’s attack like this!”
The two non-village ninjas tried to run towards Naruto, but Naruto was gone. The moment they were surprised and tried to find Naruto, Naruto was behind them.
“What… what?!”
“fast..!”
“Pungdun, storm blade!”
The wind gathers in Naruto’s right hand and forms it like a blade.
And just as he was about to stab the non-village ninja, the image of Haku came to mind and he stopped involuntarily. In the meantime, non-village ninjas leave the place.
“Geuk, to miss such an opportunity! It’s soft!”
“Heh, he must have hesitated because he had no experience killing people… clumsy!”
“no…”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
“I… didn’t… kill…”
“…?”
“Haku… older brother… I’m sorry…”
“What from before…”
perok-
“Cheer..creak?!”
“You… are too fast…”
Naruto moved in an instant and hit the two ninja’s vital points.
They lose their minds without being able to finish their speech.
Naruto looked at them and looked at his hand.
“…Still…it hasn’t been erased…”
Naruto drags the non-village ninja and walks to the place where Sasuke and Sakura’s chakra is located. And what you see is another non-village ninja being subdued by Sasuke.
“Are you Naruto?”
“…”
Naruto nodded his head at the two people who passed out without saying a word.
The ninja subdued by Sasuke screams in surprise.
“Mah…no way! A kid like that kills my teammate?!”
“Noisy. Sleep for a while.”
Sasuke hits the back of the ninja’s neck. Then, the ninja loses consciousness with a gurgling sound. After that, Sakura goes through the items of the three fainted people and takes out a scroll.
“He’s standing in the same sky as us…”
“…It’s better than nothing. For now, Sakura, you have it.”
“Okay”
“And, like this time, someone could approach in disguise.
So you’d better set a password.”
“…wait”
“What! Listen to Sasuke! Monster!”
“Sakura, calm down. I’m surprised you talked to him first. What is it?”
“There… the enemy…”
Naruto opens his mouth, pointing to something protruding from the ground. As soon as Naruto finished speaking, a large snake appeared from the ground and attacked Sasuke. The snake disappears with Sasuke in an instant. Sakura is very surprised and tries to chase after it, but something presses it and stops it.
“What… what… this… thing…? To live?”
