The assessment is in progress

After arriving at their destination, Nagaze did not start the exam immediately, but gave them some time to adjust their status.

After twenty minutes passed, Nagaze announced that the exam had begun.

"The assessment officially begins!" After Yongze announced, no one hesitated and quickly walked into the dense forest.

The truly timid Jean was eliminated from the illusion test before joining the special operations class.

The rest have a certain amount of courage and self-confidence. They believe in the results of their hard work and their own strength.

This mountain is not a famous mountain, just an ordinary mountain. Many students in the special warfare class don't even know its name.

After all, this is not the inside of Konoha, this is the outside of Konoha.

In fact, people in Konoha rarely go out in their lives. Except for necessary moments such as performing tasks, everyone spends most of the world in Konoha.

Konoha is very large, about the same size as a city in Nagazawa's previous life, except that large areas of land are used as various training grounds, and people are concentrated in one area. It doesn't appear to be very large, but in fact the territory is very large.

Although there are not many people, Konoha can be considered a sparrow. Although it is small, it has all the internal organs and all the things needed for life. Don't go out.

Of course, there is nothing to go out, and you have to walk a long way to reach the town. Ordinary people find it tiring, but ninjas find it unnecessary.

It was noon at this time, and the sun was extremely bright. Iruka was walking in the dense forest of the mountains, carefully observing his surroundings.

Today's weather seems to be particularly good, there are no clouds, and the sun is very hot. The hot sunshine at noon hits the tender green leaves in the mountains, sending out a flash of spring.

But Iruka was not attracted by this scenery, but held the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand to keep himself awake.

He did not forget Yongze's reminder that this seemingly ordinary mountain was already covered with all kinds of poisonous insects and monsters.

In fact, before entering the mountains, someone had invited Iruka to form a team. After all, Iruka was not an autistic boy. On the contrary, he was quite optimistic and cheerful, and he was very popular in the special operations class.

However, he believed that Assistant Nagaze would never make such a low-level mistake. There was definitely no way to take advantage of the special operations class assessment, and he had to rely on his own hard power to pass.

So not only did he not join those people's team, but he also persuaded them, telling them that it would be best for them to act alone and pass the exam with their own strength.

Some people were persuaded and gave up forming a team. Of course, people always have different ideas. Some people thought that this was a flaw that Nagaze deliberately left for others to discover.

There are also people who form a team in the first place not to pass the exam easily, but simply don’t want to take the exam alone, so of course they won’t give up forming a team.

For those who still wanted to form a team, Iruka didn't say much. He just told them to be careful. He did what he should do. If the other party didn't listen, there was nothing he could do.

And he is not 100% right. Maybe Nagazawa Assistant really wants everyone to take the initiative to study the rules and find loopholes.

It would be funny if the results came out and he was wrong.

Suddenly, Iruka saw something on the green leaves that shone in the sunlight.

"Water Breathing Type 1 - Water Slash!"

Without hesitation, Iruka instantly drew his sword, and the sword flew out with a thin stream of slashes, cutting off all the green leaves in that area.

Puff!

Emerald green leaves were flying all over the sky, and the green poisonous insects hiding behind the green exploded, and dark green juice burst out and spread all around.

"Huh." Iruka exhaled as he quickly dodged to avoid the dark green juice. If he had been attracted by the seemingly beautiful scene just now and rashly passed by, he might have been attacked by poisonous insects.

Although it is not said that he will die, it will definitely be uncomfortable. If he is injured and poisoned on the first day, the next five days will not be easy.

After drinking some water, Iruka began to move forward.

This mountain is a strange place for him, but if he wants to live in this strange place full of poisonous insects and monsters for six days, the necessary understanding is indispensable.

Although the condition for passing the assessment was to survive for six days and then reach the top of the mountain, Iruka was not prepared to head towards the top of the mountain on the first day.

Climbing mountains may be difficult for ordinary people. Sometimes it takes half a day to climb higher mountains.

But for ninjas, as long as there are no obstacles, they can climb to the top of a mountain in ten minutes.

This is why ninjas dominate the current ninja wars.

The war of great powers is the war of ninjas, the war of great ninja villages.

No matter how hard you try, your ordinary soldiers can't keep up with the pace of ninjas, and their mobility is completely different.

Not to mention that all ninjas are little supermen. If ninjas were to face off against ordinary soldiers, they would be completely incompetent. If they were facing someone with super powers, they would be able to hit them with a hammer.

On the surface, ninjas are very fragile, and ordinary people are not without opportunities to be tough, but ninjas are fragile for the ninjas themselves.

You should understand if those ninjas can take on ninjutsu forcefully or are only injured. The reason why ninjas appear fragile is because the damage of ninjas themselves is too high.

The ninja's chakra-enhanced kunai can easily cut through steel. Is this power the same as that of an ordinary person wielding a kunai?

Not to mention that it is impossible for ordinary people to keep up with the reaction of ninjas. It is really difficult to compare the two.

From this point of view, the war of ninjas is a war between superpowers with tens of thousands of participants, so it is not inappropriate to call it a ninja war.

Iruka first explored the area one kilometer around him and cleaned up all the poisonous insects he saw.

However, on the way, he did not encounter the monster Nagaze mentioned.

However, Iruka is not surprised. Nagaze also said that the deeper into the mountain, the more monsters there are. The position he is currently in is still on the outer layer, so it is normal that he cannot be touched.

This is also the reason why Iruka didn't attack the top of the mountain on the first day.

Not mentioning Kabuto and Itachi, two outside-level players, Moonlight Hayate and Uchiha Isamu alone should be able to reach the top of the mountain on the first day.

If they cleared away some of those monsters, it would be easier for him to go up the mountain.

Iruka is not afraid that all the monsters will be killed, and then he will fail the assessment because he did not hunt two monsters. Nagaze said that there are many monsters, and even if each person kills twenty, they will not be able to kill them all.

If the two perverts Itachi and Kabuto were just wandering around looking for monsters to kill, he would have no choice but to consider himself unlucky and come back next year.

However, according to his understanding of the two of them, they are not such boring people and would not feel such a thankless thing.

"If you pass the assessment, your father and mother should also be very happy." Thinking of this, Iruka smiled.

He didn't have a prominent family like Itachi, the eldest son of a wealthy Konoha family, and he didn't have an older brother who was a high-ranking person.

His parents are both very ordinary Jounin of Konoha, without any special names.

But Iruka is already very satisfied. He feels that he is very happy. You know, there are still people whose parents are chuunin, and there are even people whose parents are ordinary people.

Compared with those people, his parents can provide him with a lot of help on the road of ninja.

Even if his parents don't understand breathing techniques, they always know some physical skills, and the other is some ninja's experience.

………………

After entering the mountain, Itachi and Kabuto did not separate, but continued to stay together.

Of course, with their strength, they would definitely not need to use opportunistic methods to pass the assessment.

If even they can't pass the test, then Nagaze's test may be directly used as a Jonin test.

Of course, there is no such thing as a Jonin test.

Jonin is already considered the mainstay of the village, not even in Konoha.

Of course, different ninja villages have different standards for jounin. A jounin from a small ninja village cannot compare to a jounin from the five major ninja villages.

There is no such thing as a jounin assessment. The promotion of each jounin is personally approved by the Hokage.

For example, the reason why Minato kept giving Nagazawa S-level missions, and sometimes divided a long-term S-level mission into several, was because he was afraid that he would attract gossip by promoting Nagazawa to Jonin and make Nagazawa's resume look better.

.

Otherwise, if you let someone who has only done some D-level, C-level and not even B-level work to be promoted to Jonin, it will be difficult to convince the public, especially at that time, the transfer of power had just begun, Minato did not have much power, and Danzo had not always

Staring at Minato.

The reason why he wanted to stay with Itachi was actually because Itachi was going to travel around the Land of Fire, and Kabuto felt a little reluctant to leave him.

They had known each other for a long time, not long after Kabuto moved out of the orphanage to Nagazawa's house. Kabuto went to the river to meet Itachi because he was practicing water escape.

The two people who fought against each other in the original plot unexpectedly have something in common during this period.

The two hit it off immediately and quickly became friends. Now, they have been together for three years.

Although it was only three years, Itachi also played a big role in Kabuto's life, because Kabuto actually had no memory of the previous years. Nonou found Kabuto on the ruins after the war. He thought he had a head injury.

I lost my memory and my eyes were damaged.

So Itachi should actually be considered Kabuto's first close friend since he could remember it. It wasn't that he didn't like the brothers and sisters in the orphanage, but it was really hard for him to describe that feeling. Itachi was different.

This was different from the feeling Nagazawa and the dean gave him, but there was no doubt that if Itachi disappeared from his life one day, Kabuto would feel very uncomfortable, quite uncomfortable.

The two of them were walking in the dense forest, forming seals and releasing ninjutsu from time to time to eliminate the hidden poisonous insects. Suddenly, a sound broke through the air, and a green figure flew towards them.

"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!" Kabuto reacted very quickly, quickly forming a seal, and a large amount of water rushed out from the ground, forming a circular protective shield to protect him and Itachi.

boom!!

A snake head half as big as their bodies hit the water formation wall hard, causing a wave.

Itachi narrowed his eyes slightly. The power of the hand holding the handle of the knife suddenly burst out, a large amount of chakra also poured into the palm, and the rhythm of his breathing suddenly changed.

Whoosh!

A silvery sword flashed, and a small blood line appeared on the big snake's head.

The next moment, there was a roar, and the green-scaled snake instantly split into two halves, the blood in its body spurted out, and its heavy body hit the ground, splashing a burst of dust.
