Escape From Konoha

Stopping in front of the huge building standing above the sand dunes, people who saw this kind of building for the first time began to look at this huge building that was out of tune with the desert environment.

From the outside, it looks like a huge square box.

But in terms of scale, it is much grander than the fortress building in the Demon Desert. . .

The outer wall is cast from an opaque stone, and the whole is painted in a snow-white color. The stones are perfectly connected, and there is no so-called gap. The height of the wall, even a ninja can't jump on it all at once. In the eyes of Konoha's candidates, the white high wall in front of them is higher than the height of the wall of their Konoha Village.

Not to mention too much,

This white building, despite the sand blowing in the desert, did not move at all, standing majestically.

After Ichiji communicated with the person in charge of Lier, in front of the main entrance of the white building, a tall white stone door began to move up smoothly, opening a wide entrance passage.

When everyone walked into the entrance passage, they were surprised to find that the entrance passage was about seven or eight meters long, and this length,

almost equal to the thickness of the wall.

A wall of this thickness, even if bombarded with destructive ninjutsu, would be difficult to break through from the front for a while.

Walking out of the passage, a team of ninjas from the land of ghosts came up to greet them.

The leader is a nearly thirty-year-old ghost country Junin, who is one of the people in charge here.

Twenty ninjas in heavy suits followed behind him,

The whole body is covered with heavy silver-white armor, and every part is tightly stitched together and perfectly connected.

There is no excess or waste.

Wearing silver-white metal helmets like gas masks, they couldn't see their facial expressions.

These heavily dressed ninjas from the Land of Ghosts have nothing in their hands, only a heavy firearm capable of long-range attacks is placed behind their backs. Standing there neatly and uniformly, they give people a sense of cold and chilling oppression.

In addition, the atmosphere inside the building is very serious.

Above the tall minaret, there are not only reconnaissance ninjas, but also a large number of searchlights, patrolling the territory back and forth, not letting go of any corner.

Under such careful and rigorous monitoring, even if a fly flew in, it would immediately know clearly.

Not to mention a big living person.

After handing over the task to the person in charge here, Kazuhime turned around and said, "Next, please follow my footsteps, and don't follow the envoy walking around this place. This is the military area, if there is any accident. I am not responsible. ."

The rules here were explained in advance, and Yiji ignored whether these people heard clearly or not, and just raised her feet and moved forward.

The people behind quickly followed, and they didn't fall behind. Under the leadership of Yiji, they came to the dormitory area of ​​this military region. Before arriving, Yiji had already communicated with the person in charge of this military region and negotiated in advance. Therefore, when entering the dormitory area, the accommodation problem of the 30 candidates was easily dealt with.

"The rest of the time, you can freely allocate it yourself, as long as you arrive at the North Gate at five o'clock tomorrow morning to gather.

In addition, dinner will be delivered to your dormitory on time at 7:00. Of course, the most important thing is that your activities can only be in the dormitory area, beyond this area, if there is any problem, I will not be responsible here. . "

Kazuhime reminded the candidates again, and then left the place with the Shangnin of the country of ghosts, leaving the remaining time for the candidates to allocate by themselves.

What, it's like being in jail. "

Naruto muttered in dissatisfaction.

"Hey, Naruto, are you planning to do something tonight?"

When Shikamaru heard Naruto's words, he was startled in his heart because Naruto's fearless character, if not restrained, would really cause problems.

If this is Konoha, that's all, no matter what, there are people above who are going to tell Naruto.

But this is the land of the country of ghosts, and I definitely can't act according to the rules of Konoha.

"Because the more untouchable something is, the more valuable it is to explore."

Naruto put his hands behind his back, Shikamaru shed a cold sweat with an indifferent attitude.

"Don't mess around, that Yang Qun wearing armor looks like a very difficult guy. You don't want to be disqualified for the third exam, right?"

Seeing that Naruto was still ignoring him, Shikamaru had to remind Naruto about his eligibility for the third test.

Sure enough, the Naruto who heard this sentence. Reluctantly, I gave up the thought of wanting to explore here.

"Then, let's disband here. In the third exam, let's fight again."

Asuka spoke, and left the team with the ninja of the land of ghosts,

"We're going to rest too."

Toszhan of Yinyin Village glanced at the direction in which the Ghost Country team was leaving, then glanced at Sasuke inadvertently, and turned away with his two teammates.

After the team from Yinyin Village left, Shimonin from Wuyin Village and Sandyin Village also left, and they didn't have much thought of communicating with each other.

"Let's go back too, we've been tired for several days."

Shikamaru stretched his waist and went to his dormitory.

"Ming... Naruto-kun, goodbye."

Saying these words in a low voice, Hinata also left with the team.

"Huh? Okay, bye."

After being stunned for a while, Naruto also said goodbye to Hinata. Sakura is a strange interaction between Naruto and Tsukuda, and asked curiously: "Naruto, do you have a good relationship with Hinata?"

In Sakura's memory, I had never seen a girl who would take the initiative to talk to Naruto.

Even when the seventh class was first established, Sakura was the same, but later on Naruto made some changes.

As far as Sakura knew, during the ninja school period, Naruto and Weida didn't seem to have much communication.

He felt that the current interaction between Naruto and Hinata was suspicious.

Hinata's personality is introverted, and she is extremely shy, and doesn't feel like a girl who takes the initiative to talk to people.

"Of course it's fine, because we're friends. Why are you asking, Sakura?"

Naruto asked inexplicably.

"It's nothing, maybe I'm thinking too much."

Sakura shook her head.

friend?

Although this is indeed a reason, but even as a girl herself. Neither has established a very good friendship with Hinata. How did Naruto do it?

So, it's just a relationship between friends. It seems a little weird to Sakura, but where is the specific weirdness, Sakura can't think of any answer for a while,

"Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, we are leaving too, you should rest early too,"

At this time, a voice entered the ears of the three Naruto,

Dou stood in front of the three with a smile on his face.

"You too, Dou-senpai. I hope you can pass the Chunin exam this time."

Sakura glanced at her pocket with some sympathy.

He has not passed the Chunin exam for several years in a row, and his age seems to be around 20 years old. It can be seen how bad this senior Dou is in terms of ninja talent.

"Haha, Cheng Xiaoying, you are auspicious."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly coughed a few times and his face was pale.

"Senior Dou, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at the pocket whose face suddenly turned pale, Naruto was surprised.

"It's nothing, I was slightly injured when I was fighting against other countries in the second exam. I guess it will be better soon."

With a wry smile, he looked very lonely.

Xiao Sakura felt that there was something wrong with Dou's words. His appearance didn't seem to be a problem of minor injuries, so she looked at Dou with a look of pity.

If he still participates in the third exam in this state, Xiao thinks that it is very likely that Toudou will also miss the Chunin this year.

"Well, Senior Dou, if you don't mind, I can help you take a look..."

Sakura volunteered, hoping to heal Tou's injuries.

However, Sakura hadn't acted yet, and Sasuke reached out to intercept Sakura.

"Sasuke?

"Sakura, don't help him heal, the third exam starts, he may also be one of the enemies,"

Sasuke said indifferently.

"Sasuke, what are you doing? Senpai is like us, both Konoha ninjas - Ichinaru doesn't like Sasuke's behavior, and yelled loudly.

Before he had finished speaking, Sasuke interrupted and said, "Didn't you listen to the information that the examiner of the second exam gave in advance? Even members of the same group will become enemies in the third exam, and even more so. Don't talk about the rest of the group. So, from now on, until the end of the third exam, me. You, and Sakura, are all enemies."

Sasuke's words shocked Naruto and Sakura, but the expressions on their faces still looked rather tangled.

Especially Naruto, even if he knew that Sasuke was right, he still couldn't agree.

"There is only one way to become a chunin, and that is to defeat all the enemies in front of you. The battle of teamwork,

After the second exam, it also ended together. If you and Sakura still have this naive idea, even if you succeed in defeating your opponent, you won't be able to become a chunin. "

But…

What else could Naruto say, he chimed in and said:

Yuren-kun, Sasuke-kun is right, from now on, I am your enemy, no longer your senior, you must keep this in mind, my injury will be dealt with by yourself, "

Saying that, Dou led Chitong Kai and Jian Meicheng to leave, leaving Naruto and the three to stay in place.

"Sasuke, are you going too far?"

After walking away, Naruto said dissatisfiedly.

"I'm just speaking according to the rules of the third test. If you still want to become a chunin and have the idea of ​​becoming a Hokage, then you can only do so."

Seeing that there was still dissatisfaction on Naruto's face, Sasuke sighed, looked at the direction in which Tou and the others were leaving, and said something unclear:

"Also, this guy is a little weird, it's better not to get too close to him."

At five o'clock in the morning the next day, it was just dawn.

In the endless desert, most of the area is still out of darkness.

At the north gate exit of the military region, all the candidates who participated in the third test, and their guides, all gathered here, and no one was left behind.

In the exit area of ​​the North Gate, a railroad track was laid on the desert, extending all the way to the sky where the edge could not be seen. A train with twenty carriages had already stopped in front of the platform at the North Gate of the Military Region and was ready.

"What kind of weakness is this?"

Naruto, who had never seen a train, was shocked and incredulous about the steel worm in front of him.

Bi Jing was in Konoha Village, and he had never seen such a strange thing.

"This is a train... Well, if you compare it with a carriage in the Land of Fire, this is a relatively advanced means of transportation. Whether it is transporting goods or carrying people, its functionality is far beyond that of a carriage."

Kakashi explained

"Transportation? But you didn't see a horse pulling it?

Naruto hugged his chest with a puzzled look on his face.

"That's because the energy that drives the train's action, the chakra, doesn't need a lagging horse to pull it."

"Chakra?"

Naruto's mind was even more confused.

He knows that chakra is an important energy used by ninjas to perform ninjutsu, but why do you need chakra to drive a train?

"It's really interesting, it's a symbol of industrial power."

Sasuke put his hands in his pockets and commented on the train in front of him.

While the rest of the countries were still using the original horse-drawn carriages, the Kingdom of Ghosts has obviously updated and iterated on the means of transportation, using the country's powerful industrial creativity to create a means of transportation that is more efficient than horses.

This means that once the war breaks out, the country of ghosts can mobilize domestic forces more quickly and effectively than other countries and seize various opportunities.

Thinking of the many ghost country ninjas in the military area wearing heavy armor, Sasuke felt like he saw a corner of the future.

The fighting style of ninjas is probably no longer limited to the battle between ninjutsu, taijutsu and illusion, and the weapons and equipment they are equipped with may also become a standard for evaluating the strength of ninjas.

But at present, the fighting style of ninjas is more inclined to the traditional side.

Under the arrangement of Ichiji, the candidates got on the train in order. There were three single-person boxes in each car, and a group was allocated one car.

The candidates are not dissatisfied with this arrangement. They can take convenient transportation to the country of ghosts. No one wants to walk such a long distance on foot. After the candidates are all arranged, the train will make a humming sound. The wheels began to roll, heading north.

"This is too powerful, isn't it? Kakashi-sensei, when did Konoha also build a train?"

The scenery on both sides of the outside pans backwards. Inside Sasuke's room, the seventh class's guide, Joinin and the members gathered together.

Naruto saw the scenery outside the car window constantly panning backwards, even if the train was getting faster and faster, they couldn't feel the smoothness in the car, it was very stable, so he sat on the single bed of the carriage and let out an elated voice. sound.

Obviously, he is very satisfied with the train as a means of transportation, and even fantasizes that it would be nice if Konoha also had such a convenient means of transportation.

In this way, no matter where you go, you seem to be able to enjoy the various scenery during the journey without any effort.

"Well, just relying on the financial resources of the village, it is estimated that it is difficult to maintain such a cost."

Kakashi told the truth.

Not to mention the construction and installation costs of the rails, the value of the train itself, and the annual maintenance costs are all astronomical figures.

Most of Konoha's reserve funds are now invested in the military and medical fields, and there is no extra money at all to improve the village's traffic problems.

However, this surface also involves various issues of distribution of interests. It is not that the country of fire does not want to improve domestic transportation, but that the nobles have been unable to form a unity in the distribution of interests. We can only keep meeting, shelving, meeting, shelving again... a process like this. Moreover, in the eyes of the nobles, improving domestic transportation was not very necessary.

"What, if I become Hokage in the future, I must build a train in the village so that everyone can enjoy it!"

Naruto was not very satisfied with Kakashi's answer, so he spoke his innermost thoughts.

Looking at the ideal future. The confident Naruto on the lake face, Kakashi's eyes worried about you for a moment, as if he saw a familiar figure who had long passed away.

However, Kakashi didn't last long, so he came back to his senses and said, "Before that, Naruto, let's talk about becoming a Chunin. If you want to become a Hokage, it's not that simple."

Even if it becomes Hokage, it is difficult for Kakashi to change this kind of problem.

This compromise policy has set the tone since the first Hokage period.

In a sense, Shinobu Village also belongs to the upper class.

A class that wants to break its own existence means a lot of contradictions.

Going against the inherent tradition, not everyone can, dare to do it.

"Speaking of which, how's the curse mark on your body, Sasuke?"

Kakashi shifted the conversation to Sasuke.

Sasuke subconsciously touched the curse mark on the back of his neck with his hand, as if it started to hurt again, frowned and said, "I can use the power in it initially, but if I use too much, it will still cause damage to my mind and body. It’s a lot of burden. It’s a good thing to use the spell as the final card, and there is no way to use it routinely for the time being.”

I don't know why, since the addition of this spell mark on my body, my perception of natural energy has become more sharp.

Sasuke suspects that the curse mark that Daimaru left him has a lot to do with natural energy.

"In that case, Sasuke, don't use this kind of power. Anyway, you are already very strong now. That Orochimaru, he must have ulterior motives for leaving the curse mark to you."

Sakura discouraged.

"I will think about it."

Sakura's words made sense, but Sasuke wasn't going to do that.

The curse mark is a double-edged sword. If you don't use it properly, you will damage yourself, but if you use it well, you can become a powerful helper for yourself.

For him, who is in desperate need of strength, this is undoubtedly a huge windfall.

Most importantly, he had the confidence to control the power of the spell. In this way, the curse mark that Orochimaru left him,

There is no so-called risk.

No matter what Orochimaru is going to do with him, the ultimate beneficiary will be him.

"If you really can't control the curse mark, remember to tell Yin I. It has been ten years since Orochimaru left Konoha, and no one knows what purpose he is showing at this time, and everything should be careful."

Kakashi said to Sasuke,

Sasuke didn't know if he heard it, but just nodded.

"Okay, then you have a good rest, I won't disturb you."

Kakashi got up to say goodbye and walked out of the room.

"Ten groups, thirty people... This number is a bit too many."

In the office, Shiraishi's brows furrowed slightly after he had obtained the information of the thirty candidates who participated in the third exam.

According to his original intention, the number of participants in the third test should preferably be kept below 20.

More than ten people in this position,

Thirty participants, a bit beyond Shiraishi's expectations.

He had some doubts that the difficulty of the first and second exams was because Konoha and Sandyin's layout was too simple, which led to so many slipping through the net and qualified for the third exam.

"There are nearly 300 people who participated in the Chunin exam, and one-tenth of the candidates got the qualifications for the final exam. Strictly speaking, it's not too many."

Yindi Road sitting on the sofa

"It's more appropriate to cut a few people. Thirty people are too many. I think fifteen people is almost just right."

Shiraishi said.

"Why, do you want to conduct the assessment in two batches?"

Ayane asked.

"I have this idea. According to the plan, the open tournament will be held in a week, and businessmen, officials and ninjas from various countries will be invited to watch the game. Before that, let's have an internal knockout match and skip fifteen people. , leaving fifteen for the final Open."

Shiraishi thought about it and made this decision.

"You are really ruthless, you arbitrarily deprived fifteen candidates of their qualifications to participate in the open competition."

"There's no way. It was said at the beginning that the Open will only be held for one day. In one day, a total of 30 candidates,

There is definitely no way to complete the assessment at one time,”

If the Open was to be held for two days, Shiraishi would not mind having 30 candidates play together. But to invite high-ranking officials from so many countries, as well as big businessmen from various countries in Belarus, to gather in the country of ghosts for one day, the time is very tight. If the duration of the open competition is arbitrarily changed, it is likely to cause unnecessary controversy at that time.

So, what about the venue issue? Looking for a temporary one?

The continuation continued to ask.

"You don't need to use ~www.readwn.com~ to use the official venue of the Open. Not only that, but the rules used by the preliminaries will be

Just like the official open competition, this allows candidates to adapt to the environment and rules of the open competition in advance. "

Shiraishi thought for a while and said.

Different from the free battle under the rules of the second test, the individual bubble-elimination system of the third test has a bottom-line rule, that is, all candidates must abide by the premise of not killing their opponents.

Because the two exams are aimed at different groups, the rules will be revised to a certain extent.

"As for the time... that group of candidates will arrive at around 3 o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, and give them a night to rest. The time for the preliminaries will be held at 9 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow."

Shiraishi quickly set the time for the pre-selection plug,

"Since that's the case, I'll take someone to set up the venue first."

The continuation sound got up from the sofa.

"Then please."

Zi Shi nodded, rest assured that he would leave this matter to Hang Yin.

He Wei continued to pick up the materials of the thirty candidates, watched them, and finally locked his eyes on one of the candidates' materials

"Pharmacist pocket... Pharmacist... This surname is really a bit special."

If I remember correctly, in the intelligence department he set up, there is a senior intelligence officer with the surname of Pharmacist.

Pharmacist No Naiyu.
