Chereads / Naruto : Minato back to the past / Chapter 55 - Chapter 55: The Great Waves Wash Away the Sand

Chapter 55 - Chapter 55: The Great Waves Wash Away the Sand

The Ninja Trial lasts for three days in total. It tests not only a person's actual combat ability but also their ability to survive in the vast Forest of Death. Knowing how to use all factors to defeat enemies stronger than oneself is particularly important. All these factors favor the Genin, who account for only one-third of the total participants in this trial.

In this situation, where there is a huge gap in both strength and experience, the students of the Ninja School were eliminated one after another, without any suspense. But this is not absolute. Just like Minato and Kushina, there are also several unusual children in the Ninja School.

Somewhere in the Forest of Death, three Genin stood in place in a rather strange posture, as if they were stepping on shadows, and the shadows extended to the feet of a child in front of them.

"Shadow Imitation Jutsu, success!" he said with a smile on his face.

"We actually fell for it!" one of the Genin said, regret evident on his face. The shadow was not extending very fast, and the range was not large, but from beginning to end, their actions seemed to have been predicted by the pineapple-haired boy who controlled the shadow.

Beside him, the overweight child could expand his body in an instant. Even as Genin, they were completely unable to withstand such power. They were not defeated in terms of strength but in terms of teamwork. However, it was impossible for the shadow to restrain the three of them for too long!

"Ninja Technique, Mind Body Switch Jutsu!" At this time, the yellow-haired boy, the only one among the three who had not taken action, formed a very strange seal with his hands. The next moment, the minds of two of the three Genin were directly invaded, and the shadows under their feet also retracted to the pineapple-haired boy.

The only Genin who was not controlled saw it and couldn't help but laugh. As long as his two companions escaped, the victory would still be theirs.

"Bang, bang!"

However, just as he felt relieved, the two people beside him actually raised their fists and hit their chests hard, shattering the chakra marks.

"How could this happen?"

The sudden scene left him completely at a loss. At this time, the overweight child came in front of him and punched him on the forehead. While eliminating his chakra mark, he also knocked him unconscious.

After doing this, the boy with pineapple hair retracted the shadow under his feet, looked at the fat boy in the distance, and said, "Choza, your strength is a little too heavy. This is just a test. If you beat someone to death, it will be a big trouble."

"Oh." The boy named Choza responded, then looked at the other two Genin who had collapsed, and said to the yellow-haired child, "Inoichi is really a genius in the Yamanaka clan. He managed to control two people at once." Choza smiled honestly.

"It's nothing. Without Shikaku's plan, I still can't play any role." The yellow-haired boy opened his eyes and waved his hands, a little bit inarticulate.

"Okay, let's go. If other Genin teams find us, it will be a bit troublesome." Shikaku said, and Choza and Inoichi followed him into the woods.

At the same time, somewhere in the forest, there were two Genin half-lying on the ground, breathing heavily. In front of them stood a boy in black clothes and black hair. Around them, the woods seemed to have been burned by a fierce fire, and the terrain was slightly changed.

The black-haired boy looked indifferent and slowly walked to the two Genin in front of him who were almost exhausted. He put his hands on their foreheads and, with a little force, shattered the chakra marks.

"So weak," he muttered, leaving them behind. The two Genin, unwilling to lose to a student of the ninja school, stood up with a roar and rushed towards the boy.

Swish!

However, the boy seemed to disappear in front of them. The next moment, both of them were hit hard on the neck, rendered unconscious, and fell to the ground. After doing this, the boy glanced at the huge bushes around him and then said, "You've been following me all the way, how long do you want to hide?"

After he finished speaking, a black-haired girl jumped out from a few giant trees not far from him.

"It seems that your friend is not with you now." The boy glanced at the girl, and her body became tense.

This guy not only defeated two Genin head-on but also seemed to have some strength left. Last time he fought with me, he really didn't show his true strength, she thought.

"Uchiha Mikoto, you don't have to be so nervous. As a fellow Uchiha clan member, I won't attack you now," the boy said slowly.

Mikoto frowned slightly and then asked, "Uchiha Yoruki, what do you want to do?"

"As you can see, both you and the guy before are too weak. The Ninja Trial is just practice for you, but for me, it's just a real battle." Uchiha Yoruki looked at Mikoto and then said, "If you see Namikaze Minato, tell him not to be eliminated by others before meeting me."

After that, Yoruki's figure disappeared directly in front of Mikoto. Looking at the direction he left, Mikoto looked solemn.

Sure enough, Uchiha Yoruki had never given up the idea of fighting with Minato.

"I don't know what happened to the two of them." Mikoto has always been confident in Minato, but beside him, there is also a big-tempered Kushina. The Death Forest is so big, and they don't have the special means of communication like the Genin. However, sooner or later, they will meet.

Cruel elimination is still constantly happening in the Death Forest.

"You are worthy of being the grandson of the First Hokage. Your strength is not at the same level as ours!" Several Genin slumped against a tree, and the chakra marks on their bodies were completely gone. One of them looked at the one in the middle of the three-person team opposite and said.

"Comrades, I'm sorry," Nawaki said with a smile. With the strength of their team, they were sure to win no matter what kind of team they met in the Forest of Death. Not only was he strong, but the other two teammates in the team were also extraordinary.

And all this that is happening in the Forest of Death is under the surveillance of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen. The Third Hokage stared at the constantly changing scenes in the huge crystal ball in front of him, as well as the wins and losses, and the proud and frustrated faces of the boys and girls, and sighed slightly.

"Kids, I'm sorry. In order to select the genius among you, I have to do this."
