Ninja school.
examination room.
When Shion, Mitsuko, and Taiyi entered the classroom, most of the seats inside were already filled with candidates. At a glance, there were already more than a hundred candidates present.
The main ones that Kamizuki Izumo and Gang Zitie blocked were basically Konoha's genin. Those outside the village ninjas entered the examination room early because they were not familiar with Konoha's internal layout.
This exam was jointly organized by Sunagakure and Konoha, and it was far more cruel than before. Therefore, Kamizuki Izumo and Gangzi Tetsu raised the reference threshold in order to screen out some candidates who wanted to try their luck and prevent them from doing so. Make unnecessary sacrifices during exams.
Shion, Mitsuko, and Taichi walked towards the empty seats at the back of the classroom.
"Look!"
"He is a genin from Uzushio Ninja Village."
"Those three brats are quite pretty."
“Looking good may not be useful!”
"It looks thin and tender. I wonder how strong it is?"
"It's best not to provoke the three of them. Didn't you hear that the genius ninja of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Sasuke, was defeated with one blow yesterday?"
"It seems that Uchiha's geniuses are not that good either."
The candidates in the class immediately started talking when they saw Shion, Photon, and Taiyi.
However, the clamoring ninjas are basically ninjas from small countries outside the six major ninja villages. They are dissatisfied with ninjas from major countries.
Most of these people were adults, and some looked to be in their twenties. They were dressed in different styles and carried various weird weapons. There were also several genin carrying maces that were as tall as a person.
As for the ninjas from the other five major ninja villages, they were basically silent, looking at Shion, Mitsuko, and Taichi with cold eyes, already considering them as their strong opponents in the next exam.
Because it is a chunin selection exam jointly organized by Sunagakure and Konoha, apart from the candidates from Konoha, Sunagakure Village has the most genin participating, with ten teams and a total of 30 genin participating in the exam.
The Fourth Kazekage Rasa even sent his sons and daughters to compete. Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari each have combat power close to that of a special jounin.
Especially Gaara, the one-tailed Jinchuuriki. If he uses the one-tailed chakra to enter the tailed beast state, even an elite jounin may not be able to defeat him without the help of a large psychic beast.
At this time, Gaara was looking at Shion, Mitsuko, and Taichi with great interest, their eyes filled with bloodthirsty, and they were a little ready to make a move.
"Gaara, calm down! We can't afford to offend these three people. It's best not to have a conflict with them."
Kankuro on the side put his hand on Gaara's shoulder, signaling him not to be impulsive.
As Rasa's children, the three of them naturally have much more information than other ninjas. Especially since Rasa and Orochimaru are currently 'cooperating', they naturally know that Shion, Mitsuko, and Taichi are Bai Yu's. child.
Although they don't know the strength of Shion, Mitsuko, and Taichi, everyone in the ninja world knows about Bai Yu's reputation.
What they were most afraid of during this operation was that the Uzumaki Ninja Village would come out to disrupt the situation, so regardless of whether Shion, Mitsuko, and Taichi were their opponents, it was best not to break out into a conflict.
In particular, Luo Sha repeatedly reminded them to be careful of Ziyuan, Guangzi and Taiyi.
"If you keep nagging me, I'll kill you!" Gaara's face turned cold, and the murderous intent in his eyes was not a joke at all.
Kankuro was shocked, and his face suddenly turned ugly. This younger brother's mind was getting more and more abnormal.
"Gaara, we are all a family, there is no need to say such things, we should just be good..." Temari quickly smoothed things over, trying to ease the atmosphere.
However, Gaara turned his head and glanced at her, scolding: "Shut up!"
Temari's expression froze, she smiled awkwardly, and said nothing more.
Because Temari was afraid that if she really angered Gaara and caused him to lose control and burst out with the power of one tail, then she would be in big trouble.
It's still some time before the plan starts, but they can't have any unexpected situations, otherwise even if they are the children of the Fourth Kazekage, they won't be able to bear such a heavy responsibility.
Seeing that both Kankuro and Temari had closed their mouths, Gaara turned his head again and looked at Shion, Mitsuko, and Taichi.
Photon noticed Gaara's bloodthirsty gaze, and his mood, which was already a little irritating due to the noisy discussions of the candidates around him, became even worse.
I saw Mitsuko's eyes narrowing slightly, and the moment Gaara looked at me, his original dark eyes turned scarlet, and the black vertical pupils like a demon fox flashed away.
"Ah!" Gaara suddenly covered his head and growled, with a look of pain on his face.
"It's the chakra of the stinky fox! Damn it!" A Shukaku's roar came from Gaara's body. Shukaku began to attack the seal in Gaara's body, and continued to release astonishing murderous intent. It directly affected Gaara's spirit.
Gaara's abnormal reaction immediately startled the surrounding Sunagakure ninjas.
"Gaara, what's wrong with you?"
"What happened? How are you?"
Especially Kankuro and Temari, who were sitting next to him, hurriedly checked on Gaara's condition.
"It's really useful?! It seems that Nine Lamas are not bragging." Photon was stunned for a moment, and her scarlet pupils suddenly returned to normal. She ignored Gaara because she felt the sense of peeping, which meant that there was a powerful ninja. Observe here, so she doesn't want to cause trouble to Bai Yu, and she still has to give her basic face.
According to Kyuubi himself, it is the strongest among the nine tailed beasts, and One-Tail is the weakest. When encountering it, it will be like a mouse meeting a cat.
Photon didn't quite believe it at first, but now he does.
However, what she didn't know was that although the chakra amount of tailed beasts was ranked according to the number of tails, the strength was not calculated in this way. Not only was the one-tailed beast not the weakest among the nine tailed beasts, but it was ranked higher. before.
Especially the one-tailed chakra has a sealing effect. If the jinchuriki fights, both sides only use the tailed beast chakra, and the nine-tailed jinchuriki may not necessarily be able to win the one-tailed jinchuriki.
Seeing Shion and Taiyi looking at her, Mitsuko just shook his head slightly, saying that he didn't need to pay attention.
The three of them came to the back and sat down.
In fact, Photon did not use the innate spell "Petrified Eyes", nor did he use the mental attack power spell, but instead used the nine-tailed chakra in his body.
Because Kushina has the complete Nine-Tails in her body and is also a perfect jinchuriki, with the cooperation of the Nine-Tails, she tried to seal some of the pure chakra refined by the Nine-Tails for both Photon and Taichi.
It's just that Photon, who is more talented, has mastered the power of Nine-Tails Chakra and can control it accurately.
Although Taichi can control the Nine-Tails Chakra, he cannot control it to the same extent as Photon.
When Photon noticed Gaara's uncomfortable gaze, she felt a chakra from Gaara's body that made her instinctively disgusted through the induction between the tailed beasts' chakra. She suddenly remembered that the Kyuubi had once As I said before, Kyuubi and Ichibi Shukaku are mortal enemies, and their relationship is extremely bad, so the chakra in her body has such a big reaction.
This Gaara is a one-tail jinchuriki, at least he has a lot of one-tail chakra in his body.
So, Mitsuko tried to test him, with the idea of teaching Gaara a lesson.
As Photon expected, Gaara is not a perfect jinchuriki. It should be said that a jinchuriki at this age has almost no possibility of becoming a perfect jinchuriki. Even part of the tailed beast's chakra cannot be skillfully controlled.
So she used the Nine-Tailed Chakra, which instantly stimulated the already restless One-Tailed Shukaku in Gaara's body.
Gaara's pain did not last long, because Rasa had specially strengthened Gaara's seal before coming, so Ichibi's struggle was suppressed by the seal not long after.
At this time, Gaara's face showed a deep look of exhaustion. Because of the riot of one tail, his whole body was as if he had been fished out of the water, and his whole body was soaked.
After a while, Konoha's genin entered the classroom one after another.
Immediately afterwards, the chuunin teachers came to the examination room one after another. The leader was Bai Yu's junior and the special jounin of Konoha, Morino Ihiki. He was the head of the ANBU interrogation department. He was briefly captured by the enemy. , suffered severe torture, so his face was covered with scars left when he was tortured by the enemy.
Morino Ihiki's cold and ferocious appearance instantly calmed down the genin who were talking in low voices.
Soon, the first exam began, and all candidates were given a test paper with nine questions in total. Except for the first three questions, the remaining six questions were of a level of difficulty that was completely beyond the limits. For many genin, it was impossible to listen to them. Many of the questions that have never been heard of require a jounin level to be exposed to these questions.
At this time, two chuunin teachers had already pretended to be students and were hiding in the classroom. They would memorize the standard answers and write them on the test papers, waiting for other candidates to copy them.
In this exam, you either have to rely on your strength to write these weird questions, or you have to rely on your strength to plagiarize without getting caught. Collecting information is extremely important for ninjas. In short, it is all about testing the ninja's comprehensive ability.
However, these questions are not difficult for a few "students".
In particular, Ziyuan, Taiyi, and Guangzi, who have received comprehensive education from Bai Yu, relied on the powerful mental power brought by meditation to learn a lot of knowledge at a young age that ordinary people would never finish learning in their lifetime.
Even Taiyi, who disliked studying the least among the three, finished all eight of the questions and most of the remaining one.
Shion and Photon solved all the problems early.
"Huh?! This guy..." Taichi, who had finished solving the problem, suddenly glanced at the position in front of him with a strange expression. He discovered something unusual about a bald Oto Ninja Village candidate, who exuded special energy. Field, this is a special radiation field that only wizards have.
After Taiyi thought for a moment, he activated "Snake Spirit Sense"
...
ANBU headquarters building.
The pharmacist, Kabuto, was dressed in a black robe and an animal mask, walking in the dark and cramped corridor.
Soon, he arrived at the lowest level of the Anbu underground. It was getting darker and darker, the humidity was heavy, and the air exuded the smell of decay.
Each prison is an independent cage. In addition to the strong metal fence that is as thick as an arm, there is also a powerful seal on it. For these prisoners who have been sealed with chakra, it is almost impossible to escape. .
Unless someone is able to exert pure physical power to instantly break the seal while being sealed with chakra, of course, this is impossible.
This is where Konoha holds death row prisoners and serious criminals.
The ninjas who stay here have either trampled on the consciousness of fire and killed their companions, or they are collaborators with the enemy, or they are spies from other countries. They are basically ninjas who have been sentenced to decades of imprisonment, or even life imprisonment. For many things, this is better than It would be uncomfortable to die directly.
Yakushi Kabuto walked along the way, his pace was steady, and he walked unhurriedly towards the innermost room. The prisoners passing by all looked dull, leaning or lying down, and everyone's expression was numb. Only in Yakushi Kabuto When you pass by, your eyes will move slightly.
Maybe they were thinking that when their sentence was up, they could be released, or maybe they were thinking about who was so lucky and could go straight to the road.
In the dark underground prison, many people will remember the time by carving marks on the wall at first, but when the repetitive life day after day wears away their last hope, they will just want to die, and finally become numb.
However, the prisoners here are all ninjas, including some jounin, so the ANBU ninjas will be very careful and will not be careless.
Pharmacist Kabuto passed through the cells on both sides and came to the end of the corridor. He pushed open the iron door in front of him and entered an independent cell. The space here was much larger than other cells, and it was clean and tidy, even if it was rotten or moldy. The smell disappeared without a trace, and instead exuded a faint scent of incense.
Danzo was dressed in regular clothes, sitting cross-legged on the bed with his back to the cell door, seemingly meditating facing the wall.
When he heard the movement in the cell, it took him a while before he slowly turned around.
Kabuto Yakushi took off his mask, came to Danzo, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Danzo-sama."
"I am no longer the leader of the Roots." Danzo said calmly with an expressionless face.
Kabuto Yakushi lowered his head slightly: "For those of us who are ninjas from the beginning, our allegiance will always be to you alone."
"Tell me, your purpose here." Danzo said calmly. After being imprisoned for several years, he was much calmer than before he came in. In the past few years, he has been reflecting on himself, why he failed so miserably. Everything seems to be successful, but why does it always fail at the critical moment?
"This Chunin Selection Examination is unprecedented in scale, so Jiraiya-sama has returned to the village. According to intelligence, Orochimaru has also returned."
Kabuto the pharmacist responded.
In the past few years, he has been helping Danzo keep in touch with Orochimaru as Danzo's informant.
Of course, Sandai also knew this and just turned a blind eye.
After all, Danzo can be treated very differently from other prisoners. Without the tacit consent of the third generation, no one would dare to do this.
Danzo looked relatively calm when he heard that Jiraiya had returned. After all, this was normal. But when he learned that Orochimaru had sneaked into Konoha, he immediately lost his original calmness and exclaimed in shock: "How dare Orochimaru come at a time like this?" Konoha? Does he really want to attack Konoha and take revenge on the Third Generation?!"
"Orochimaru is preparing to create chaos in Konoha, and then your chance to make a comeback will come!" Kabuto Yakushi said slightly excitedly.
"Does the Third Generation know about this?" Danzo asked with a slight frown.
Yakushi Kabuto explained: "Based on the current situation, the Third Generation should have discovered the traces of Orochimaru from some signs, but he does not know what the specific purpose of Orochimaru is. Ninjas from all over the world are now gathered in Konoha, and many dignitaries are watching. For the Chunin Exam, the Third Generation will probably not stop the exam because of Orochimaru."
"That's true." Danzo muttered, unable to help but fall into deep thought.
What confidence does Orochimaru have?
