Red sand dust

She clearly left with good intentions, but seemed to be politely rejected. Ziluo, who was a bit strange, returned to Saya and Shanai.

What's wrong? What did you talk about? It doesn't seem like you are too interested...

Miss Saya asked casually.

I'm not sure, maybe he just happened to be in a bad mood!

Although the friendly approach was rejected, Daimaru didn't say anything inappropriate, and Ziluo just felt a little regretful.

That's right! You don't have to worry too much. Daimaru just has a bad temper, but he's very thoughtful and won't antagonize others casually...

Sister, that's just for you! No one else is treated like this!

Shanai reminded kindly.

If I think Daimaru is easy to get along with, he either really has the same chemistry or is worth making good friends with.

You may not know that Miss Saya has a narrow social circle, but Shana is a serious and wealthy daughter. Except for the weakness of her sister Saya, everything else is quite normal.

Of course Daimaru, the controversial genin of Sunagakure Village, knew this.

Everyone knows that he has a bad temper, and it's not surprising for Suna shinobi to be impulsive and irritable. There are no special rumors about whether he is arrogant or not. Anyway, those who offend Daimaru are basically taught a lesson on the spot. Those who escape are not heard of being rewarded afterwards.

No matter how you look at it, Daiwan is not even close to being broad-minded.

Is this happening?

Miss Saya probably didn't realize that Daimaru wouldn't be bothered to associate with a young lady with the same bad temper if they hadn't had such a long business relationship.

Maybe I'm really tired. I have endless worries all day long, and I'm always thinking about how to cause trouble!

Miss Saya, who had just escaped from a hard battle not long ago, was too lazy to pay attention to Daimaru's thoughts and found a pleasant corner to sit down and rest.

On the other side, Chiwa Yeme also retreated to Daimaru, closing her eyes and falling asleep.

Temari pulled Kankuro and said seriously:

Did you say something to Daimaru?

No, are you suspecting me of leaking secrets?

Kankuro flatly denied it.

That means Daimaru himself noticed something abnormal?

Not long ago, Temari was chatting with Qian and Yame and found out about some unusual movements of Daimaru.

Due to Daimaru's actions in the first trial, most of the Suna ninja were eliminated, and the elimination rate was higher than that of Konoha ninja.

But the second trial in the Deep Forest of Death was beneficial to the powerful Suna Ninja. Gaara, Kankuro and Temari passed the level quickly. Daimaru and the others who were the instigators were ignored for the time being. Saya and the others also saw through the fake scroll.

The ones who suffered the biggest losses were Konoha Village and other small shinobi villages!

Driving away all the Suna Ninja candidates who are not strong enough, leaving three teams with acceptable strength. Even if Saya and the others pass the second test, it may be an accident...

What do you think the purpose of Daimaru is?

You want to know what he wants from me if you ask him directly?

Do you think he will tell the truth? In addition, sisters Saya and Shanai are not part of the plan. With their status, if they really enter the main venue of the third trial, someone will definitely tell them about the mission plan...

All Suna Ninja candidates who enter the third trial will definitely be arranged to ensure that Gaara successfully liberates the One-Tailed Shukaku in Konoha Village.

At that time, you will have no choice but to make your own decisions.

…

In another corner of the central tower, Konoha Genin Class 8 was whispering.

Zhino, did you hear that? That Daimaru actually spread fake scrolls among the candidates. Fortunately, we were one step ahead, otherwise it would have been a disaster!

Um!

Shino Aburame simply agreed.

Hinata Hinata looked towards the door worriedly:

Naruto-kun, will everything be okay?

There are a total of twenty-five teams, with a maximum of twelve groups qualifying. Now there are three teams of Suna Ninja, and only the eighth team in Konoha has reached the finish line.

The current performance of the Konoha ninja is far inferior to that of the Suna ninja. This result makes the upper management of Konoha feel a little worried.

Especially at noon on the third day, when a piece of news was reported to the examiner Mitarashi Anko, it almost made her Heavenly Curse Seal, which had been initially controlled, start to become restless again.

Where did the fake scroll come from?

I don't know, Your Excellency, Examiner.

The Chuunin proctor not far away reported,

When we were just conducting a routine inspection of candidates who opened the scrolls privately, we suddenly discovered that there were fakes next to the genuine scrolls...

Are these illegal candidates trying to cheat and use fake scrolls to get through?

No, Mr. Examiner, from the situation at the scene we checked, there is only one conclusion...

explain!

This team of candidates did not intentionally violate the rules, but after obtaining the scroll, they suspected that it was fake and accidentally opened the real scroll.

How can this be?

Mitarashi Anko shouted angrily,

It's okay if it's just a fool who wants to deceive the invigilator. Now the nature of what you said has completely changed.

This is certain. We invited the ninjas of the Yamanaka family to use spiritual secrets to investigate. There are already more than one group of candidates who have been eliminated. We are very sure that there are a lot of fake scrolls circulating in the Forest of Death.

very good!

Mitarashi Anko covered the curse mark on the back of her neck with her palms, resisting the pain, took the fake scroll handed over by the invigilator, and looked at it carefully.

In addition to the imitation of the appearance, there is no need to fake it at all. This is obviously not to use fake scrolls to deceive the invigilator, but to make the candidates suspicious and confused.

You really have a sharp eye...

No need to flatter me!

Mitarai Anko slammed the fake scroll to the ground.

As soon as possible, we will count the qualified candidates and how many teams in the Death Forest are likely to pass. If someone does something that violates the rules, I allow the invigilator to take action directly...

clear!

I hope it's not too late!

Mitarashi Anko opened the window and looked out at the endless virgin forest.

It happened at this time!

Not long after, the results of the investigation came out.

One of the Heaven Scrolls and the Earth Scrolls cannot be found at all and may have been completely destroyed. There is also a Heaven Scroll that was opened by the examinee and became invalid.

The theoretical upper limit of qualified teams is eleven, and four groups have already qualified... Wait, we just got the news that Hyuga Neji, Rock Lee and Tiantian have confirmed their qualifications.

So far, Suna Ninja has passed three groups, Konoha has passed two groups, and other Ninja Villages have gained nothing.

Suna Ninja?

Mitarashi Anko instantly thought of Daimaru, the unattractive sand ninja puppet master, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

That's probably him. He's really a bastard who doesn't make people worry...

Amid the mood swings, the curse mark on the back of her neck began to spread again, causing Anko Mitarashi to cry out in pain.
