Shhhhhh!!
Three kunai come toward them from nowhere.
"Be careful!"
The three retreated in unison.
As the three retreated in unison, theexploding tags tied to the Kunais suddenly ignited.
"Exploding tags!?"
Sasuke was startled.
"What!"
Sakura was half a beat behind.
phsssss!
boom!
The explosion tag exploded, making a loud noise.
"Hey, are you all right?"
Sasuke asked from the other side.
"We're fine."
"Thank you, Naruto!" Sakura thanked in a cold sweat.
Just now she reacted a little slower and almost couldn't run, but luckily Naruto gave her a hand.
A voice suddenly sounded behind Sasuke.
"Hey hey, I originally wanted to take advantage of the time when everyone entered the forest, but it turns out that it's not too bad now!"
One of the examinees, who was wearing a bandage, held a kunai around Sasuke's neck.
"You look sensible, don't move around and hand over the scroll~"
"Sasuke!" shouted Sakura .
Snap.
The sneaking ninja's right hand was tightly grasped.
"Do you have a scroll on your body?"
Naruto asked faintly behind him.
"What!? When...."
"Hmph, you are so bold, you dare to sneak attack us?"
Sasuke turned around and looked at him with a sneer.
brush.
Sasuke swung his left hand, took out a kunai from the ninja bag at his waist, and stabbed him in the heart.
"How come...aren't you all rookies?!"
At the last moment when his consciousness disappeared, he questioned, and at the same time regretted that he shouldn't have run over by himself just now.
"Sasuke! You..."
Sakura stared blankly at Sasuke stabbing someone to death at random. She was a little scared.
"Don't be naive, Sakura, if you still don't take the exam seriously, you will die."
"From the moment we stepped into this forest, there had been a war between ninjas."
Sasuke said seriously to Sakura.
"I, I understand!"
Sakura suppressed the fear in her heart and nodded.
"He does not have any scroll."
Naruto clapped his hands, stood up, and said.
"It looks like he was acting independently, let's move on."
"Wait, we may need a secret signal, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy after we get separated."
Sasuke said suddenly.
*****
"Hmm~ they are such exquisite specimens, Sasuke…and that blond kid, they are extraordinary."
Orochimaru, who was lurking on one side of the forest, listened to Sasuke tell them the code and said to the battle that just happened.
Sasuke: "Did you hear the code?"
Sakura: "Yes, I remember it!"
Naruto looked at Sasuke speechlessly: "Are you targeting me? Although my theoretical grades are poor, it doesn't mean I'm stupid."
"Really?." Sasuke tilted his head.
He always felt that Naruto was the kind of person who only knew how to use his body but not his mind.
Although in the land of Waves, his combat awareness, control of the battle situation, and handling of details were very good, it was actual combat after all. As for the rest, just like the previous written test, the blank paper was handed in by Naruto.
"Ugh."
Naruto sighed, why judge a person's IQ by his grades?
A blade of grass suddenly flew towards Naruto.
Naruto raised his hand and squeezed it.
"So, why is it always me? Do I look that weak?"
"Enemy attack!"
Sasuke and Sakura spread out in an instant and hid.
Boom!
A strong wind force appeared in the forest, sending Naruto flying away and raising a lot of smoke.
.
"Missed them...but it doesn't matter.'
"You guys go and take care of the blond one, I can handle it by myself here."
Orochimaru said to the other two Kusa ninjas who were with him.
Then used the Transformation Technique to look like Naruto, although there was a high probability of failure, he wanted to try it…
"Interesting, isn't it?"
Orochimaru licked his lips against his face and smiled sinisterly.
It made Naruto, who was hiding in the dark, disgusted.
Seeing himself being kicked and seeing someone with his face licking your face with such a long tongue was the most disgusting thing you will see while being alive.
…
The white smoke dissipated, and Sasuke came out quietly.
"Sasuke!"
"Sakura? Stop!"
"Code!"
Sasuke pulled out Kunai and asked Sakura.
"Hmm... [When the enemy is in a big commotion, it's an excellent time to sneak in... seize the opportunity when the enemy is tired and relaxed!]"
Sakura finished speaking in one breath.
"Okay."
Sasuke nodded.
"It hurts, are you okay?"
Naruto came out suddenly.
"Speak the code!"
"Understood! [When there is a big commotion in the enemy, it is an excellent time to sneak in...]
"Heh~"
Sasuke smiled and suddenly held the kunai.
"Sasuke, what are you doing? Naruto has answered the code!" Sakura asked, puzzled.
"Didn't you notice?"
"Notice what?"
"Sure enough, I was discovered."
A cold voice came from Naruto's mouth.
"Naruto?!"
Poof!
Orochimaru lifted the Transformation Technique.
"How did you find out I wasn't the real one?"
"Do you think I didn't know that you were hiding underground and eavesdropping? That code was just for you."
Sasuke sneered.
"Besides, Naruto wouldn't be able to remember such a long password...so, you must be a fake."
"I didn't expect to be discovered at that time, you are amazing, Sasuke-kun~"
On the other hand,
The two Kusa shinobi were moving forward at high speed, continuing to search for Naruto.
"What are you looking for? Do you want any help?"
Naruto suddenly appeared in the middle of them and asked enthusiastically.
"Who!!"
The two Kusa shinobi were frightened by the sudden appearance of Naruto, and their faces became tense, and they dispersed instantly.
After they each landed on the tree, they found that the figure just now had disappeared, making them even think that they had encountered a supernatural event.
"Where did he go?!"
"Ughh."
A hand glowing with lightning slowly pulled out from the ninja's chest.
"you…."
Before he finished speaking, he fell headfirst.
"What?!"
The ninja on the opposite side saw that his companion was dead before he could react, and ran away immediately.
Moreover, he also recognized who the person who attacked them was.
'Isn't that one of Orochimaru-sama's targets?'
'This brat appeared here, could it be that captain had already been dealt with?!'
'A rookie of Konoha...are you kidding me!!'
He roared in his heart, such a rookie was simply a monster!
"I guess...you don't have a scroll on you, do you?"
That devil-like voice appeared in his ears again.
"Fire Style Ghost Lantern!!"
One after another, countless will-o'-the-wisps flames formed, attacking him from all directions.
"Very good ninjutsu, but a little too weak."
A hand rested on Kusa shinobi's shoulder, whose hands were still making a seal.
beep!
Like a flock of birds screaming in unison, the Kusa shinobi stepped into the footsteps of his companions in the flash of thunder.
…
