He came, he came, he came with the golden bell!
It was already late at night, and Aoba's attire was extremely horrifying. He was dressed in a black robe, and there were only two holes on his white mask. Duy was also wearing a hood, holding an oil lamp in his hand and a golden bell tied to his feet. Every step he took made a crisp sound, and it could spread far.
It was like a grave keeper in a horror movie!
If one had to describe it, it was to hammer stones and dig graves.
After an entire day, the exhausted examinees found a safe place to rest.
However, the appearance of the mysterious person caused some of the surrounding people to have thoughts.
If they could snatch the golden bell, would they no longer have to struggle in this terrifying hell of traps?
Attacking the mysterious person was originally a particularly stupid method, but with the contrast of the hell of traps, it was actually not so difficult to accept.
Let's take a gamble!
Let's go all out!
After observing for a long time on the tree, Konoha resolutely launched an attack!
Of course, the strength of their group was not bad. It was also due to their confidence in their own strength that they dared to attack directly. However, the more important reason was that they were not confident that they could pass through the Forest of Death.
It could be seen just how terrifying the hell of traps that Aoba had set up was, and how much of a psychological shadow it had cast on these examinees!
"Earth Release: Earth Splitting Palm!"
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
They didn't dare to stop for even a moment. The three of them started to bombard the mysterious man. First, they used Earth Splitting Palm to restrain the mysterious man. Then, they used Wind Release to coordinate with Fire Release to attack. Finally, they threw out Kunai, who had an Explosion Tag tied up, to attack.
To be able to use so many Explosion Tag, it could be seen that these three people were not ordinary ninjas.
After that, another round of Ninjutsu bombing was launched. It was only until everyone was gasping for breath and there was not much left to talk about chakra that they finally stopped.
"Did he... get killed?"
"Will we be too ruthless?"
"It is very likely that the mysterious man was played by Jonin. If we don't go all out, there is no chance at all!"
"Well, a wise judgment."
"Then."
A voice suddenly came from behind him. The body of the candidate who used Fire Release immediately froze in place. Because in his line of sight, there were many companions.
A handful of Kunai slipped from his sleeve and fell into his hand. Then, he suddenly turned around and stabbed!
At the same time, he did not forget to shout loudly, "The mysterious man is here with me!"
Ding!
Kunai was directly blocked by a finger stretched out by the mysterious man. Under the strange gaze of the mysterious man's mask, he immediately felt as if he had fallen into an icehouse.
"Your courage is commendable. Then how are we going to carry out this pleasant torture?"
Pa!
Aoba, who had assumed the stance of 'Magic Finger Strike', was directly struck on his forehead by the other party's terrified expression.
Using Fire Release, it was as if someone had suddenly smashed his head with a hundred tons of sledgehammer. He was sent flying without any struggle, and at the same time, his vision went black.
"Ishida!"
The two people who were rushing over to rescue him immediately brushed past the youth named Ishida.
"Fight him to the death!"
"Are you crazy? I will stop him. You should quickly leave with Oda. Eliminating one person is better than eliminating three people together!"
"Bullshit! Either pass the exam together or come back next year."
"You.,,!"
"What you? The mysterious man is coming. Let's go together."
Interesting..
Aoba was going to eliminate all of them, but he suddenly changed his mind. Anyway, there was still a lot of time. He could play this game slowly.
"What a futile struggle. Don't be afraid of the end. You have to accept it happily, unless you can give me what I want."
The golden bell was still echoing in the forest.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I gladly accept your big head!" The hot-tempered teenager was about to rush up, but he was stopped by his companion next to him.
"Wait a minute, maybe there is still a chance to turn things around."
Just as the mysterious man finished saying that, he suddenly realized that the examiner could not possibly design an unsolvable test point to make things difficult for them.
With the mysterious man's powerful strength, it was almost impossible for anyone who met him to have a way to resist.
This was very unreasonable!
Then what was the mysterious man's 'what he wanted'?
His eyes suddenly lit up. Then, without hesitation, he took out a silver bell from his bosom and threw it at the mysterious man.
Rather than waiting for death, it was better to gamble!
In any case, once he was eliminated, this bell would be useless.
Wasn't it strange that there were a hundred bells hidden in the entire Forest of Death?
Under the gaze of the two, 'night watcher' Aoba caught the bell and hung it on his waist.
"Let's rest for a while. Let's go on our way."
Still no good?
The examinee gritted his teeth and was about to fight to the death when he suddenly heard the mysterious person begin the countdown.
"'10, 9, 8.'"
The two of them revealed a look of surprise in their eyes. Then, without any hesitation, they turned around and carried their unconscious companions away.
By the time the ten figures were over, they had already run out of the mysterious man's line of sight. The mysterious man really did not chase after them.
However, they still did not let down their guard. It was only after they ran far away that they finally leaned against the tree, panting heavily.
"It turns out that the silver bell has this function. It really is yours!"
"At that time, I was just trying to make a living. The mysterious man's reminder was very obvious. Moreover, the number of silver bells hidden in the Forest of Death far exceeds the amount we need. This is a very strange thing. In addition, the mysterious man himself also has a golden bell, so when I think about it, I guess that the thing the mysterious man needs is this bell."
At the end of his words, the examinee also had a hint of pride on his face.
"That should be it. If I had known earlier, I would have brought along the bells we ignored during the day!" The other person was a little annoyed. This was a good thing to deal with the mysterious man. Once the mysterious man targeted them, they could use the silver bells to escape.
However, during the day, they were afraid of the traps around the bells. In addition, they only needed one bell, so they did not take the risk.
"It's okay. Now, other than us, there should be few people who know this secret, so we have to collect as many silver bells as possible in case of emergencies."
"Hehe, you're right. Those guys who only took a bell and felt that they could rest easy would definitely be in big trouble!"
"Weren't we the same before?" The witty examinee immediately said in a bad mood. Then, the other party revealed an awkward expression.
"This second exam is really a loop after loop."
