Nearly two kilometers away in another direction, after just crushing an unexpected group of rain ninjas into a pulp, Gaara was about to pack up and continue to move towards the central tower. Suddenly, a wave came from a distance. A sense of chakra burst came over him.
Not to mention individuals with relatively keen senses like jinchuriki, even ordinary ninjas who are not proficient in this can detect the suffocation coming from a certain direction.
"Strong... no, the monster is fighting. Is this how a genin should behave?"
Back then, when Gaara went on a rampage and killed many people in the village, but was finally subdued by Rasa using the Magnetic Release and Sand Gold Secret Technique, the overwhelming feeling of oppression seemed nothing more than that.
Temari looked up at the strange cloud in the distant sky and the brilliance of the sun coming through, as if it was specially "customized" for someone.
"So beautiful! But... so dangerous!"
At this thought, Temari suddenly came back to her senses and saw Gaara looking over there with a ferocious face, looking eager to try.
"Gaara, wait, now is not the time."
Seeing Temari standing in front of him, Gaara's eyes no longer looked human, with animal pupils like cross stars.
"Get out of the way, or die!"
"Teacher Ma Ji has given instructions, and the time has not come yet. We will definitely meet such a strong person later, so don't rush for a while!"
Seeing that Temari didn't retreat, Kankuro stood up and stood up.
"Temari is right, Gaara, this is not Sunagakure Village, we should be careful. Since we are doing tasks outside, you should also listen to the advice of your brothers and sisters..."
"Brother? Sister?"
As if he heard some funny words, Gaara grinned, revealing a row of alienated fangs, and stretched out his hand. Immediately, a ball of fine sand flew without wind.
Just when the two of them thought that their lives would be decided here today, Gaara pinched the cork of the sand bottle, put the fine sand away, and turned around and left indifferently.
"Okay, okay, I saved my life."
Kankuro breathed a long sigh of relief. Being able to stand without being scared to the point of peeing was already considered a big deal.
"That brat is so unlovable."
"Shut up, you escaped this time, be careful next time!"
Temari wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the place in the distance where dull roars could be heard from time to time.
"After leaving the Country of Wind, I realized that our village is really just a small place. Even in the Chuunin Exam, there was such a monster."
"Gaara is already here, what's weird about the others sneaking in? Besides, are...are they really candidates over there?"
Kankuro snorted unconvincedly,
"Don't worry about that. Our mission is to keep an eye on Gaara smoothly and don't let him mess around. Today, he has killed several people and his ferocity has been aroused. He cannot continue to be stimulated, otherwise..."
The thought of a monster like that appearing and killing everyone around them indiscriminately made the Sand Ninja siblings feel chills.
To die in the ninja war is to serve your compatriots. It is really not worth it to lose your life for no reason.
"Let's go, follow us! Go and have a look from a distance, tell the ignorant candidates to get lost and don't come any closer. Let's get on the road immediately and go straight to the central tower."
At the same time, humans and beasts who sensed the source of danger instinctively moved away from that location. Even the most confident genius would not seek death at this time.
Generally speaking, everyone cannot feel the fluctuations of natural energy, but the tidal surge is so violent that even the dullest ninja can almost instinctively feel that the turbulent and dangerous wave is about to hit.
At the same time, Orochimaru and Wan She fought and retreated. While avoiding the sharp sword of the Water Warrior, they constantly tried to mislead each other, and then the golden cicada escaped from its shell and left here.
"What's going on? The other party's perception is too keen?"
"It should be a bloodline secret technique. It is extremely sensitive to chakra. If you are targeted, it will be difficult to deceive, unless..."
Orochimaru had an idea and attached part of the chakra into the body of the snake. He hid himself directly and used the technique of suspended animation to be swallowed by a big snake, and then left from the other direction.
The confused Wan She thought that the Orochimaru sitting on the top of his head was the real body, and asked anxiously:
"The secret art of perception? Isn't it a water attribute magic? How come it has anything to do with perception?"
"It's a long story!"
"Forget it, think of a way!"
Wan She is strong and has a very bad temper. Using her brain is not her specialty, and she has never done such delicate work before.
In addition, neither Orochimaru nor Wan She is good at speed. Although the water giant transformed by Xiang Rin has a slow pace, his absolute speed is not slow at all. He follows steadily behind and continuously applies blows to Wan She. A series of bloody wounds were added.
Not only were the two of them in an awkward situation, but what was even more troublesome was that the examiners from the Konoha ninja side seemed to have reacted and surrounded them in this direction, getting closer and closer.
"This can't continue like this, Orochimaru, show your true skills and let them retreat."
"Is necessary?"
Xianglin's secret technique of excited state seems to be very powerful, but it is obviously beyond her control. The side effects are not mentioned for the time being. It must be limited and cannot be used forever. Maybe the next moment, seemingly The arrogant water warrior will collapse.
As for the examiner group, the main body is composed of special jounin and chuunin. They are not a big threat and cannot stop Orochimaru from getting serious.
There are no masters in the Death Forest. As long as you don't do anything particularly taboo or cause trouble, there will be no problem.
However, Wan She will have to suffer a little.
After more than ten minutes, Xianglin, who felt powerless, seemed to realize that there was nothing she could do to defeat the opponent. The so-called chase was just a bluff to show strength to the enemy.
Summoning the last remaining courage, he threw the long sword suddenly, like a sharp arrow, streaking across the sky and pinning the unresponsive Wan She to the ground.
The shrill screams resounded through most of the Death Forest. Orochimaru, who used the body of the snake to block it, was swept away by the aftermath and turned into a puddle of mud and fell to the ground.
"Earth clone? Use me as bait and run away secretly?"
It's a pity that Wan She, who was severely injured, had no time to cause trouble to Orochimaru at this time. He was penetrated by the divine sword. Although it didn't hit the vital point and was not fatal, it was enough to keep him alive for a while.
After lifting the psychic spell and returning to Longdi Cave, only stains of water and soil and a pool of smelly blood were left.
After delivering the final blow, Xianglin was at the end of her crossbow and was no longer able to pursue.
Looking at the direction in which Orochimaru was leaving, Xiang Rin could only shake his head with regret.
"I will try my best to inflict a decent wound on the opponent. Just because I have a powerful secret technique does not mean that I am powerful."
It can be clearly felt that Orochimaru is not serious. Even after Xianglin used the special skill of pressing the bottom of the box and was slightly weak, he just avoided it and had no intention of confronting him head-on.
To put it bluntly, the other party’s real target is not him, and he doesn’t want to waste energy on irrelevant people.
Withdrawing his fighting avatar, the panting Xianglin sat on the edge of a thick tree root, trying to regain his strength and chakra.
A few minutes later, Mitarai Anko, who was faster and more responsive, arrived.
"Is it you? Did you cause the movement just now?"
"I don't have this ability alone."
"Where did the other person go?"
Xianglin pointed in a direction and replied:
"Examiner Hongdou, be careful!"
"Huh? Any advice?"
"That person is too strong. Even if I use all my cards, I will only consume a lot of his chakra. Basically, there will be no results..."
"Unscathed?"
"No, but... it's not to the extent that it affects his combat effectiveness. It's even possible that he wasn't allowed to use his true abilities..."
"I understand! Your condition seems to be okay. Do you want to continue with the Chuunin Exams?"
"Of course, my teammates are still waiting for me."
However, Mitarashi Anko looked around and saw that as the fighting scene subsided, there were quite a few candidates who were trying to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the two strong forces to compete and lose both sides.
"Then it's up to you."
"clear!"
Xianglin answered confidently.
With the "whole picture" perception provided by Kagura's Heart Eye, coupled with the "strong luck" blessing of the bloodline secret technique, Xianglin is not afraid of these little miscellaneous fish that are surrounding him at all.
Rather, it is this kind of test that gives Xianglin a higher understanding of the use of his own power.
Watching Mitarashi Anko's vigorous figure disappear into the shadows of the jungle, Xiang Rin stood up after resting for a while and headed for a relatively safe road.
Half an hour later, a somewhat embarrassed Kaoru found Usami who was on guard, Kurama Yakumo who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and in a hut built on tree roots, looking at Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke Haruno Sakura.
"Xianglin, you're back? It's best if everything is safe!"
"What about you? It's nothing serious..."
"I met a group who wanted to fish in troubled waters and snatched their scroll. It happened to be what we needed..."
As he spoke, Usami took out two scrolls, one with the sky written on the cover and the other with the earth written on the cover.
Usami is safe and sound, a little injured, no big problem. Kurama Yakumo's mental energy is a bit exhausted, and her body is already weak, so it will take some time to recover. Overall, there is no damage.
As for Xiang Rin, it is difficult to use that overwhelming power in a short period of time, but it does not affect his regular combat effectiveness. He is still the top genius who can be on par with Uchiha Sasuke.
As for Class 7...
"Sakura, the next step is up to you."
After resting until midnight, Class 13, which had regained its combat effectiveness, was ready to go on the road overnight.
"Have you gathered the scrolls?"
"That's right!"
"very nice!"
"Let's get together again if we have a chance! Last time, when you guys came back from a mission, you originally wanted to chat in advance, but in the end, there was no chance. Do you have any objections to me?"
"No, I just encountered something in the Kingdom of Waves! Naruto may have some opinions about you..."
"how about you?"
"Me? I don't know, I don't know much about these!"
"That's it!"
Although he said he didn't understand, in fact, he still had some bad opinions about the Gushan family behind Xianglin.
As long as someone doesn't sit crookedly buttocks, they won't think that Gusugi is a member of the general public.
They are naturally the opposite of the people at the bottom.
The Konoha ninja and the Furusugi family were not originally from the same camp, they were just allies.
"I have also heard about the country of Waves. Although my family name and I are surnamed Gusugi, we are not exactly the same as this family. Even the head of the family cannot know such a huge group like the back of his hand, let alone an arm. Use your fingers. Of course, I am not saying that what individual servants do has nothing to do with me. After enjoying the convenience and benefits brought by the family, the corresponding responsibilities must also be borne. But..."
Xianglin smiled mockingly,
"If the group will is regarded as a personalized life, it is not uncommon for little people under the collision of monsters to die and die. I am not saying that their lives are more humble and meaningless, but that they have no time to care for them. And it’s time to grieve.”
Individual cases of ringworm and scabies have killed several people, caused a big disturbance when others saw them, and naturally have a considerable impact. However, in the face of natural and man-made disasters, hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of people may be affected. livelihood.
How to mobilize the power of the group to serve the operation of this society to the maximum extent is the most important task of the Gushan family.
The Gushan family will not easily sacrifice the lives of individuals for the sake of the overall situation, but they will never delay the overall direction of their decisions because of a few cases.
"Individual will is more emotional, while group will is indifferent. How you view the Gushan family is your freedom, but for me personally, I hope we will always be friends."
Patting the somewhat dumbfounded Haruno Sakura on the shoulder, Xianglin called on her teammates to get ready to go on the road.
After walking far away, Usami chuckled:
"That little girl still has some talent, but she hasn't transformed yet. Ninja is not such an innocent profession. I hope she can gain something from this battle."
Kurama Yakumo added coldly:
"She may not realize what the friendship between the eldest princess of the Gushan family is. In the future, she will get married, have children, and buy a house. She can save a lot of monthly payments!"
Xianglin smiled and shook his head:
"Sakura is just the daughter of an ordinary villager. She is not a ninja or a wealthy businessman. Unlike us, it is difficult to stay innocent. If you don't want to, reality will force you to grow up."
It’s so cold at high places!
In the past, Xianglin thought it was already difficult for her and her mother to survive in the Gushan family, but now she discovered that the world of adults is not easy either.
"Let's not talk about that. Not long ago, I sensed the murderous aura from afar. It was the panda-eyed man from Hidden Sand Village. Do you want to test his identity later?"
Kurama Yakumo said this. She was not a fun-loving person, but it was really annoying for her and her group to have inexplicable guys showing random murderous intentions during the hard battle.
"This won't work! He's a bit special! If I'm not mistaken, he should be the Jinchuuriki of Sunagakure Village..."
"Jinchūriki?"
Usami was shocked.
"Are there too many 'monsters' in this Chunin Exam?"
As for the "transformation" of Usami's fighting posture not long ago, Xiang Rin and Kurama Yakumo tacitly agreed not to ask.
