As night fell, the already gloomy atmosphere of the Death Forest became even more foreboding. In this situation, Minato and the others had to light a bonfire. After all, in the Death Forest, the enemies were not just humans. In one afternoon, they encountered several ferocious beasts. Fortunately, the three people who followed Minato and Kushina were quite skilled, so they managed to avoid danger.
The five people lit a bonfire and sat around it. Although the open space chosen by Minato was not large, it was enough for the five to rest, and it was surrounded by trees on all sides. Once something was wrong, they could hide immediately.
In the Death Forest, apart from wild fruits of unknown toxicity, the remaining food was only various small animals. Minato set a simple trap and caught a few rabbits and pheasants. He was not very good at cooking and wanted to take on the responsibility of the chef in the team, but it was taken away by someone he did not expect.
Kushina squatted beside the bonfire, built a wooden frame with simple tree stumps, and then used the short knife she carried with her to very skillfully peel off the skin and internal organs of the rabbit and pheasant, and then roasted them. Before today, Minato never knew that Kushina could do these things.
Takenouchi Rin and Akasaka Yu were also shocked. The Red Hot Habanero, who usually showed a fierce face in the class, actually had such a side. Kushina did not mention her past to them. Because her country was destroyed and her parents died, she was stranded in a small village on the border of the Land of Fire. How could she not know some survival skills in the wild?
Although she did not know whether the so-called wild fruits were poisonous, after all, this was not the village where she grew up, and the types of fruits were different, but her cooking skills were still not comparable to Minato's mediocre skills. Minato also lost both his parents when he was young, but everyone has things they are good at or not good at. He has a strong talent in ninjutsu, but he is the worst at cooking.
"You two are a perfect match!" During the meal, the boy who was older than Minato and the others laughed. His name was Miyazaki Satoshi, and he was a year older than the four of them.
Minato was smart and strong. He should be able to fight even against the elites of the Genin in this trial. After all, he was able to eliminate two Genin by himself. Kushina seemed to be a bit nervous, but in fact, she was also very thoughtful and had good experience in outdoor survival. She was also strong enough to fight against Genin head-on. The combination of these two people was an absolute strong team in this Ninja Trial.
What he didn't know was that there was another Mikoto who had a very good relationship with the two of them and was strong enough to fight against Genin head-on, but her strength was still unclear. Kushina's cooking skills were quite good. Even in this situation without any seasoning, her masterpiece was unanimously praised by the four people, including Minato.
A full meal, and not eating cold and bitter wild fruits, was probably the only comfort for this group of children whose average age was less than ten years old. After dinner, Minato excluded the two girls and arranged the order of night watch. Even at night, their situation was still dangerous, and it was a blessing to let Miyazaki Satoshi and others join in.
Minato was definitely reluctant to let Kushina keep watch, but if there were two of them, it would not be good for Minato to keep watch alone in this three-day ninjutsu trial. As the night deepened, sounds were heard from time to time in the Death Forest. Not all creatures appear during the day. With darkness, it is sometimes easier to act.
At this time, about a few hundred meters away from Minato and his friends, there was also a bonfire in the forest. In front of the bonfire, two boys with similar faces were leaning against the same big tree, seemingly asleep.
"Hehe, students are still students, too tender. Even if you can survive the day, you still can't resist fatigue at night." In the darkness, a cold and thin voice came faintly, and several black shadows gradually approached the two boys.
Just as they were about to approach the two boys, one of them suddenly stood up and kicked the bonfire in front of them with an extremely fast kick. The wooden stakes with black light scattered everywhere, making the environment dark again. The night blurred their vision, and the figures lost their target in an instant. In this darkness, two figures moved at high speed, agile and unaffected.
"I think you are the tender ones." Such a voice came from the darkness, and the Genin instantly became alert. But at this time, a slight pain came from his back. The chakra in his body was quiet, not regulated at all. The opponent was able to block the flow of chakra in his body!
"Bang!" Then there was a burst of severe pain in his chest, and the chakra mark also dissipated. His defeat was almost instantaneous, but the reason for all this was that it was too dark, and the branches and leaves of the Death Forest were so lush that even with starlight, not much could shine in. But the opponent was not restricted by the darkness at all. In the darkness, he could only vaguely see a pair of white eyes. No pupils!
"Byakugan!?" Now he finally understood. He and his teammates thought they had spotted two ninja school students with good strength. But they didn't observe everything about them, especially their eyes. The Byakugan can directly penetrate the human body and see the flow of chakra, so even in the dark, it is meaningless to them. In fact, in the dark, the power of the Byakugan can be fully exerted. The move that just blocked the flow of chakra in his body should be the unique gentle fist of the Hyuga clan.
"Everyone run, the opponent has the Byakugan!" The defeated Genin shouted immediately. In this darkness, their combat power couldn't even reach 30%, and they had no chance of winning against an opponent with the Byakugan.
"You found out a little too late!" In the darkness, there was another scream. Another boy also had the Byakugan. While the opponent couldn't resist, he killed one of them. But now, the others were alert. After being reminded by their defeated teammate, they fled without hesitation. However, in the darkness, the Byakugan was watching them, and a mocking voice was heard.
"You still want to run away now? Dream on!"
