Red sand dust

It has to be said that Daimaru did overestimate his influence.

Compared to the orphans of the Uchiha family and the genius children of the Fourth Kazekage family, it is indeed difficult for other genin candidates to have much fame.

Even Hyuga Neji, who is recognized as a genius, does not receive much attention because he is not from the clan.

As for Hyuga Hinata, although she is the eldest lady of the clan, she did not make too many waves because she was not valued by the Hyuga clan leader and her talent was limited.

The turmoil caused by Daimaru in the first test of the Chunin Exam was no longer mentioned after just one night.

The Suna Ninja boy who got up early in the morning and went out to the streets to relax, watched the eliminated Suna Ninja genin rush back to the village.

They were dejected and had their own thoughts, but being able to leave Konoha Village, a place of right and wrong, before Konoha's plan collapsed was a blessing in disguise.

Having been deceived by him, Saya, Shana, Zi Luo, Yami, Qian and Daimaru, who should not have waded into the troubled waters this time, also felt guilty.

For Suna Ninja candidates, it would be best if only Gaara, Kankuro and Temari who could not escape, as well as Daimaru who took the initiative to join them, should enter the third examination venue. For the rest, it would be better to go back early.

The gathering time for the second Chunin Examination is in the afternoon. All you need to do is arrive at Training Ground No. 44 before two o'clock.

There was plenty of time today, and Daiwan, who had already prepared it, wandered around the street casually, bought a lot of high-calorie food to stock up, and then returned to the hotel calmly.

After patiently enduring a quiet morning and inviting Yeme and Qian to have lunch, the Nekaze team slowly arrived at the 44th training ground.

The Sound Wind Team was not the last group to arrive, but it was only a few minutes early.

Until the last group of grass ninja teams arrived late with a vague murderous intent and the smell of blood, seventy-five candidates finally arrived.

Orochimaru, you can't be wrong. 』

Daiwan glanced at Daiwan inadvertently and turned his head hastily, not daring to look again.

The camouflage of the erasing face technique is not something that ordinary people can see through. Anko Mitarai has been Orochimaru's disciple for so many years, but she didn't recognize it.

If the patrolling invigilator hadn't discovered the body of the grass ninja candidate, no one might have realized that this S-level rebellious ninja from Konoha Village had secretly returned to Konoha Village.

The Death Forest was Orochimaru's chosen hunting ground, and Uchiha Sasuke was the prey.

but……

Orochimaru killed the Grass Ninja candidate, why didn't he dispose of the body? Wouldn't destroying corpses and removing traces be a better way to conceal one's whereabouts? Just channel a giant snake and it can swallow them up. Thinking about it this way, it seems that Orochimaru did not take away the body of the fourth generation Kazekage Rasa who was about to be killed by a sneak attack, but discarded it on the spot. 』

Probably as long as the Heavenly Curse Seal on Uchiha Sasuke is successfully applied, it doesn't matter whether he is exposed or not. Konoha Village will definitely realize that Orochimaru has returned.

As for Rasa, cover-up is irrelevant. Orochimaru, who disguised himself as the Kazekage to assassinate the Third Hokage, must be the definite murderer.

Orochimaru, who is so powerful that he doesn't care too much about what Konoha Village thinks, cannot get close to him, let alone attract his attention. 』

As a result, Daimaru was unable to do anything he wanted to do in the Forest of Death.

At two o'clock on time, Mitarashi Anko began to summon all the candidates to explain the rules of the second exam. She looked at Daimaru who was standing in the corner and quietly observing the towering trees of the Death Forest.

Is this the Daimaru that Ibiki warned is likely to cause trouble? He's just a stupid boy who is confused! 』

Compared to Suna Ninja, it seemed more interesting to scare the disobedient blond daredevil.

After you think about it carefully, hurry up and sign the consent form, and then receive the scroll.

The assisting examiner pulled up the curtain.

The Scroll of Heaven and the Scroll of Earth, are you trying to transfer the experience of the first trial into actual combat? It's really straightforward!

Qian, who had regained his energy, looked at the competitors who all seemed to be strong, and couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

Think of the scrolls as information. Each group of candidates needs to defeat the enemy and obtain the required information to pass.

A group of three people cannot be absent. They have to reach the central tower with two kinds of scrolls to pass the test. They cannot peek at the contents of the scrolls in the middle. The rules are very simple...

Yami looked around, and most of the guys Daimaru told him to focus on were here.

“The simpler the rules, the fewer loopholes can be exploited.”

The time was almost up, and Daimaru also started to make the final arrangements.

Yeye, can you see through the curtain what kind of scrolls the other teams are receiving, and who is carrying the scrolls?

Let me try!

Saying this, Nighteye, in the shadow behind Daimaru, was running chakra to gather his eyes, and his pupils were dilated.

You can barely see the type of scroll, but you can't see clearly who is holding the scroll.

enough.

As long as all three members of the competing team are defeated, it doesn't matter who takes the scroll.

Not far away, Naruto Uzumaki, who luckily passed the written test, seemed to have some inexplicable confidence. The other groups were careful not to attract the attention of the strong one, but he was the only one who didn't know how to read the atmosphere around him.

Good weather is a catalyst for fools. That yellow-haired boy is really arrogant, and the examiner also looks a little bad, moody...

Qian felt that Morino Ihiki was really easy to get along with, but it was really incomprehensible for Mitarashi Anko to attack her whenever she disagreed with her.

Apart from this, Yemu thinks other people are more terrifying:

Isn't that grass ninja with a long tongue a little disgusting? I really don't want to get close...

Then stay away from him.

Daimaru said,

It's our turn, let's go!

…

After a while, Daimaru, Yeme and Qian were taken to the 33rd entrance by the examiner in charge. Following the examiner's order, many candidates entered one after another, and the second round of the Chunin Exam officially kicked off.

Luckily, the grass ninja next door has the Earth Scroll we need, and it doesn't look very strong.

Nighteye said happily.

The Sound Wind Team, who had drawn the Scroll of Heaven, quickly locked onto the opponent who was about to be their prey.

Gate 32, which is not far away, is the only remaining group of Kusanagi, except for the group killed by Orochimaru.

Good job, Nighteye.

Having a ninja with all-weather perception and blind spots as a companion is really handy in the deep forest of death.

It wasn't obvious in the first written test, but here, let the extras who didn't even get to appear in the final scene experience the humiliation caused by intelligence crushing.

Just when Daimaru led Yami and Qian and quickly approached the Kusanagi team where Kagura was, the little red-haired girl with Kagura's inner eye immediately sensed the approach of the source of danger.
