[Konoha, Training Ground No. 44.
The venue for the second team competition of the Chunin Joint Examination.
It is a circular trial area surrounded by forty-four locked entrances.
The field not only gathers several common terrains such as rivers, forests, and hills, but also contains extremely dangerous creatures such as poisonous insects, pythons, and wild beasts.
A tower was built in the center of the training ground, which was also the final destination of the second trial.
The straight-line distance from the entrance to the destination is about ten kilometers.
I don't know if it's to fit in with the meaningful number 'forty-four', or because there are skeletons belonging to different creatures buried in this venue.
In short, this place is also known as the Forest of Death! 】
"You already know the general situation of this trial ground."
"Then quickly sign this consent form for me."
"Otherwise, if you accidentally die in here, it will be my responsibility, hahaha."
Mitarai Anko, who had one hand on her waist, explained happily, while she was holding a lot of paper in her other hand, and there was a "squeaking" sound as she stirred.
I think this is the consent form he spoke of.
Such direct words also made the expressions of many young ninjas present suddenly change. After all, most genin are underachievers in the ninja world who lack experience and strength. The tasks they have performed are basically the simplest D and C tasks. There are very few guys like Kabuto who deliberately fail the trials many times in order to hide their strength and wait for an opportunity.
Even the ninjas from other ninja villages saw them for the first time, but now they were told that a trial was accompanied by the risk of death. How could these little guys let go easily?
"Excuse me, what does death mean?"
No, under the whispers, a little guy with a naive face and lack of confidence asked.
Judging from the forehead protector he was wearing, he should be a ninja belonging to Kusakure Village.
Such questions also aroused the attention of most of the ninjas present.
After all, this is Konoha Hidden Village, not some notorious 'Blood Mist' Kirigakure Village!
"Hey, that's a really cute question."
"I don't know how that guy Morino Ihiki allowed a little sheep to pass the first ninja exam."
Seeing Kusakakumura who was behind his companions and showing some cowering, Mitarai Anko chuckled and stuck out her tongue and licked her thin lips.
"Well, to die, of course, means to die."
"Why, as a ninja, you haven't seen a dead person yet?"
"Then your leading teacher is really unqualified."
The woman always had a smile on her face, but the words she spoke made people feel creepy.
"If you don't have the consciousness to die in the mission, then it's best not to wear the ninja forehead protector that symbolizes your status."
"This is not a child's toy."
"And if you are really afraid of death, then you still have a chance to withdraw from this trial now. It is not impossible to wait for the Wen Tun test in your own Ninja Village next year."
"Of course, once you withdraw, it will also be regarded as a team withdrawal."
"After all, even if one person is afraid, the whole team will be affected during the mission!!"
Mitarashi Anko's voice suddenly turned cold.
The narrowed eyes burst out with a chilling and cold edge.
Obviously, a guy who has a fearful attitude in the face of danger, or who is not yet fully prepared to become a ninja, cannot please her.
You must know that three years ago, a being who was the same age as these little guys, no, to be precise, younger than most of the genin present, had already had the consciousness to rush into the enemy camp alone to save his companions.
[There is really a huge gap between human beings. 】
After sighing softly in her heart, the cold look on Mitarashi Anko's face slowly melted away. After all, if all the juniors were like that one, then the seniors like them would really be ashamed to death.
"Well, since I am your senior and the examiner of the second assessment, I will teach you one more thing on behalf of your leading teacher."
"The mission is not a mission for one person, but a mission for all members of this team."
"So, if you haven't awakened to unify your will and can't trust your life, then get out of the queue of ninjas as soon as possible."
"After all, you don't want to see your companions die because of your own fear!"
"It's pain and guilt that you will never forget."
"Ninja is not a cool profession!"
Mitarashi Anko warned with a serious face.
Under such instructions, among the twenty-six teams that passed the assessment, some looked solemn, some looked indifferent, and some looked worried...
As for these, women are naturally not considered.
Immediately, a relaxed smile appeared on her lips again.
"Sa, are you ready? If you are willing to continue taking the assessment, please sign this agreement. If you are not willing, then go home as soon as possible."
"Hurry up, move faster."
"It's been a long time."
The heroic Anko Mitarashi began to shake the stack of papers in her hand gradually and impatiently.
Under such urging, a Konoha genin who was close to the examiner immediately took the stack of consent forms, and after drawing three, handed them to the surrounding teams.
During this period, no one chose to retreat.
Because they all came here with the important mission of each village, they are a group of carefully selected talents. They must have experience in physical skills, illusion skills, strategy, ninjutsu, and medical ninjutsu. In short, they must have experience in some aspects. A place for people.
Once they can survive this second test, they will stand on the real stage of the ninja world and win honor for their respective ninja villages.
Similar resonances arose among many teams. In such a imaginative mood, these little guys squeezed the consent form with their fingers harder.
Looking at this scene, a trace of pity quietly emerged from the corners of Mitarashi Anko's eyes.
[You are really naive. 】
[Ninjas do not live glamorously under the light and shadow. 】
[Sometimes, choosing to give up can be regarded as a courageous and rational decision. 】
Through communication with Morino Ihiki, she already knew what happened during yesterday's assessment.
The last pressing question called [Choose or Not Choose] was completely solved by the stupid-looking blond kid by mistake, which is why there were so many people participating in the second assessment. Naturally, there were more little guys who were not mentally determined enough.
However, everything that needs to be said has been said.
It was the genin themselves who made the final decision, not her.
At the same time, when the consent forms were distributed, the teams cheered, complained, and speculated about each other at this moment:
"It's just the most basic survival test. Don't be afraid. We have already experienced these trials and even more difficult environments."
"You're right. The consequences were publicized so horribly. Now it seems like it's just a team competition to test the speed of crossing the terrain. It's no big deal."
"Konoha is Konoha after all, how can it be difficult like Kirigakure does?"
"That's right. I guess it's exactly the same as the last question yesterday. It's a bluff! But how can the same trick work the second time?"
"However, since we want to reduce the number of teams to half, we must select the top thirteen or even the top ten teams."
"Remember, if you encounter trouble later, don't be too eager to fight, just rush forward!"
"..."
When she noticed that all the [Death Waiver Consent Forms] had been distributed, and the trial conclusion rang in her ears, Mitarashi Anko finally seemed to have remembered something very important, and said slowly and jokingly:
"Ah, by the way, did I just forget to explain clearly the content of this second assessment?"
Just one word silenced the chaotic and noisy scene, and pairs of eyes from the genin looked directly at the Konoha examiner with a smile on his lips.
Of course, under such gaze, Mitarashi Anko did not continue to whet her appetite. At the same time, two scrolls with [Heaven] and [Earth] respectively slipped into her hands.
"In addition to the most basic wilderness survival projects, as you can see, the second mission is a scroll battle where anything can happen."
"The scrolls are divided into [Book of Heaven] and [Book of Earth]. Of the twenty-six teams that passed the first test, half took the [Book of Heaven] and the remaining half took the [Book of Earth]."
"Each team only has one roll."
"The final condition for clearance is that the assembled team arrives at the central tower with the [Book of Heaven] and the [Book of Earth]."
Such assessment content immediately made the genin who showed a relaxed state look stern.
Because the final clearance condition means that...
"To put it simply, they use any means and any method to snatch each other's scrolls."
"Of course, this competition will not last forever. The second examination time is 120 hours, which means you have five full days to compete with each other."
"Sa, work hard, little guys."
As she finished speaking, Mitarashi Anko's lips once again raised a meaningful smile.
Although it stands to reason that thirteen teams can pass the assessment, how can things go as expected?
The probability of each team encountering a matching scroll is 1/2. If they get the same scroll after a battle, what will happen to the extra one?
Should it be kept, or should it be destroyed directly to reduce future opponents?
It's interesting to think about it.
As for the question asked by a fat man holding potato chips about how to survive for five whole days, she just replied nonchalantly:
"The wilderness is a natural treasure house, rich in food ingredients, and completely self-sufficient."
"Okay, let's all go and collect our own scrolls. Remember not to reveal the type of your scroll easily, otherwise the consequences will be very interesting."
Mitarashi Anko urged,
But when he talked about the consequences of exposing the scroll, he subconsciously stretched out his tongue and licked the corners of his lips again, as if he had imagined some wonderful scene.
But just as each team was preparing to go to the makeshift open-top collar scrolls on both sides in an orderly manner and hand in the consent form, a middle-aged man wearing light green ninja armor suddenly appeared next to the woman and whispered in her ear. said something.
Mitarashi Anko, who has a rebellious and confident personality, also changed her expression instantly after hearing this news. At the same time, her eyes towards the shortlisted genin in her field of vision also turned pitiful.
After a while, the messenger left.
The woman who was the examiner of the second session coughed slightly, signaling that news was about to be revealed.
In fact, many genin teams had already noticed something was wrong with the former during this period, so they did not go directly to receive the scroll, but chose to stop and wait for the next step.
"It's really a pity."
"Now, there is one thing I need to tell everyone who has come with various missions. The results of your next assessment may not be so important anymore."
Seeing this, Mitarashi Anko opened her mouth without trying to set the stage.
As soon as these words came out, all the ninjas in the audience showed different emotions, with shock and anger being the most common. Loud questions filled the periphery of the No. 44 Proving Ground.
Even the ninjas of the Konoha family frowned at such words.
"What do you mean?"
"Does Konoha want to stop this assessment?"
"..."
In response to such a question, Mitarashi Anko did not feel angry, but shouted "Quiet" angrily and continued to explain:
"At the request of political leaders from various countries and ninja leaders from all parties, it is necessary to temporarily add another assessment team for this Chunin Examination."
"To make up for it, the reminder I can make is, don't try to take advantage of them in the second assessment. When you encounter them, throw the scroll out and run away, but then go and rob the team."
"As for the third assessment, give up on winning the championship and compete for the top three."
Originally, this message was supposed to be sent to Mitarai Anko as the examiner last night, but the old man just spent the whole night thinking about how to make a fuss in the Chuunin Exam, so he put the notification on hold.
After all, the man also said that this was the last 'game' between them!
"ha?"
"Stop looking down on people, or are you saying that Konoha is trying to determine the quota by relying on its status as host?"
"..."
The angry questioning reached its peak in an instant.
Not only these ninjas who are already grumpy, but also an indifferent young man carrying a huge sand gourd on his back, a boy in blue who is carrying bags with both hands and showing a rebellious attitude just by looking at his stance, and a certain general who will be covered in bandages. His fists clenched his thick eyebrows...
Although they didn't speak, the attitude they showed was one of deep disdain and disbelief!
Listening to such remarks, Mitarashi Anko was still not angry. After all, this matter was too hasty. After all, the people present were also the best in each village in a sense, and they were the proud ones of heaven.
If anyone showed any indifference or even excitement.
Of course, there is.
The woman wearing a large bamboo hat and spitting out a long purple tongue is one of them.
"Because, that person is from Yu..."
Just when Mitarashi Anko was about to tell the origin of the team that suddenly broke in, her mental feeling stopped her and she looked towards an open field ahead.
I felt the wind blowing by, and three figures suddenly appeared there.
At the same time, a cold voice confided:
"Why, is anyone dissatisfied?"
"Then I'll give you a chance, let's go together."
[Because, that person is from Uchiha! 】
【Uchiha in the true sense! ! 】
