There are 21 teams with 64 people, plus the examiners who came to supervise, the number exceeds 80 people. But in front of this forest of death, this number of people is as insignificant as a drop in the ocean.
It was still early for Menma and his group to arrive, and most of the candidates arrived at the designated spot in the following time. And among this group of people, Menma saw the figure of a girl with the same long fiery red hair.
.
When I saw a face that was obviously very childish, but familiar enough.
Menma was stunned subconsciously.
'Yes, she was not Orochimaru's subordinate from the beginning. She lived in Kusakure Village, and she and Sasuke met once in the Death Forest.'
The part of the plot memory that I had forgotten before also came to my mind at this moment.
Whirlpool incense.
Of course, it might be more appropriate to call him Xiang Rin directly. After all, there is no explanation of Xiang Rin's surname in the original work, but it is 100% certain that Xiang Rin is from the Uzumaki clan. The red hair cannot mean anything, but God
The Happy Heart Eye and the King Kong Blocking Technique are truly exclusive skills of the Uzumaki clan's bloodline.
The same goes for Menma.
Possessing a divine eye.
It’s just that King Kong Blockade has no impact yet.
Xiang Rin also obviously noticed Menma's gaze. After subconsciously glancing at Menma, he immediately lowered his head. There was a glimmer of hope and desire that he didn't know existed in his eyes, but there was also a hint of desire.
A deep sense of fear and panic.
Menma immediately came back to his senses after the initial daze and no longer looked at Xiang Rin's side. He was not qualified to think about anything else now.
He himself is a "caged bird" and has no energy to care about others.
The numbness on the face only lasted for a moment.
Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke on the side didn't notice it. Their attention was now focused on the giant training ground in front of them and the content of the assessment that might come next.
After all, if the second round of assessment is really held here.
The difficulty of the corresponding assessment content will certainly not be low.
Menma also took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his mentality, but that was when Menma had just calmed down his mood.
Suddenly.
The figures of the three grass ninjas also suddenly came into Menma's eyes.
The moment I saw the leader.
Menma's pupils suddenly shrank again subconsciously.
That is, in less than a second.
Menma turned his eyes naturally.
'Orochimaru!'
There is no doubt that the grass ninja that just appeared is Orochimaru. Not to mention that Menma has the original plot as a reference, and he can sense a huge chakra aura from that grass ninja.
Even more terrifying than Kakashi.
At this stage.
In front of this forest of death.
Besides Orochimaru, who else!?
"It's finally here, Orochimaru-senpai, I've had a hard time waiting for you!"
Menma subconsciously clenched his right hand slightly, thinking silently in his heart.
Now that the target object has appeared as expected, the next thing he has to do is to find a suitable opportunity to contact him. Although he needs to take some risks, it seems to be worth it in Menma's opinion.
On site.
There were more than eighty ninjas. Except for Menma, no one realized that a big boss had sneaked into this assessment.
Even Anko, who was the examiner and a special Jonin, didn't even realize that the 'mentor-sama' he had been thinking about was already under his nose, and he was introducing him eloquently to all the candidates who came.
The content of the second round of assessment and the corresponding rules.
'The farthest distance in the world is when I am in front of you and you don't recognize me...'
At this moment, Menma really wanted to know what Orochimaru's attitude was towards him, the only disciple he had accepted in the past.
"The above are all the contents and rules of the second round of assessment. Now I can give you time to think about it. If you want to give up, you can give up immediately. If you have any doubts, you can raise it now. If you pass this
At this point, you won’t have a chance to regret it!”
Hongdou looked down at the more than sixty candidates who came for reference with a very dangerous look, and said in a playful way.
It seemed that he was going to use this method to further beat the little guys below. When he saw some of them showing frightened expressions, Hongdou felt extremely satisfied with the bad taste in his heart.
"I have doubts, examiner!"
"Oh? What doubts are there? Tell me!"
I saw that some people actually raised doubts.
Anko raised her eyebrows, looked at the Taki-nin who asked the question with a hint of interest, and asked with a smile.
"According to the rules you mentioned, we are going to compete for the scrolls in the team mode. So of the 21 teams here, 20 are all three-person teams, but one team is four-person. This seems unfair.
Bar?"
This Taki-nin obviously looked at where Menma, Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura were and said loudly.
And it was also following the words of this Taki-nin.
Everyone present turned their attention to the four people from Class 7.
After all, the first assessment before was a written test, and the final score was calculated based on the average score, so no one really raised any objections at the beginning, but this round of assessment is different. This is a team-based scroll.
In the battle for battle, when everyone was in a three-person team, the four-person team of Menma and others just seemed so conspicuous and unfair.
Even if they enter the examination room and the ninjas from the same village can cooperate with each other, they are still different teams after all. There is a big difference between having one more person in the same team!
Menma's eyebrows also raised slightly.
Naruto and Sakura even showed varying degrees of embarrassment. They had obviously thought of this problem. A team of four people usually carried out missions. But now in the Chunin Exam, it was indeed...
It seems very unfair.
Sasuke still looked calm.
"Oh? Are you talking about that team? Don't worry, we in Konoha will never do anything that favors our own people. This assessment will be fair. The four of them will never act together.
On this point, I, Anko Mitarai, as the examiner, can guarantee that in this assessment, no team will have more than three people."
Hongdou smiled and said very casually.
"How is it? Are you satisfied with my answer? This Taki-nin?"
"Since the examiner said so, I must choose to believe it, and I also believe that Konoha must be fair."
This Taki-nin didn't seem to be afraid at all, he looked directly at Anko and replied.
"Haha, interesting."
A bold question for this Taki-nin.
Not only did Anko not feel offended at all, but she also felt that this Taki-nin was very courageous. Mitarai Anko-sama likes courageous people the most.
In this case, the ‘game’ will be more interesting, right?
"Others, do you have any questions? If not, then enter the tent in order to receive your scrolls."
After Hongdou glanced around and saw that no one asked questions and no one gave up, she nodded with satisfaction and waved her hand.
It also began to distribute scrolls belonging to them to the teams of candidates who entered the second round.
