In Konoha, I collected corpses on the battlefield for ten years

The Hidden Mist ninjas are too audacious, actually daring to attack an examiner during the Chunin Exams!

Putting aside their purpose, such behavior alone has crossed Konoha's bottom line.

This is a crazy attempt to test the edge of the line of death!

Nara Shikaku's temple throbbed as his brain spun at high speed, analyzing what the other party's actions meant and what they represented.

What seems like an ordinary Chunin Exam is actually a game between multiple high-level figures.

The final result may not be important, but the process of this game is crucial.

Many of the actions within may contain special meanings, potential purposes, and inclinations towards war.

As a Hokage advisor, he was sent to preside over this exam in order to glean information and sniff out signals.

Seeing Nara Shikaku withdraw his gaze, Zabuza Momochi's lips curled up.

Kisame Hoshigaki was someone he had nurtured, and he was well aware of his strength. Their actions were also at his instruction.

According to the Third Mizukage's request, they were to explore Konoha's bottom line as much as possible.

If the examiner of this Chunin Exam were to be killed and Konoha's attitude was strong, then only three Hidden Mist genin would die, although Kisame Hoshigaki would be somewhat of a pity...

But the current Kisame Hoshigaki has not shown any particularly strong talent.

Moreover, even if he, Zabuza Momochi, were to die, as long as the Hidden Mist ninjas could gain an advantage in the war, his death would be insignificant. The Third Mizukage would not feel sorry for him.

No one's death matters. Knowing whether Konoha's attitude is tough or not will lead to a re-evaluation of the necessity of war.

And if Konoha's attitude towards the death of an examiner is not very clear, then that would be interesting.

Hidden Mist Village might gather the strength of the entire village to launch this war with all its might.

Everything is to test Konoha's attitude.

Whether they have the determination to fight at all costs against the three great Hidden Villages!

As the Hidden Mist Village on the sea, they undoubtedly occupy a great geographical advantage, able to attack or defend as they see fit, all within their grasp.

Therefore, the probing will begin with them!

Chapter 40: Took a Shower (Seeking Collections, Recommendations, and Monthly Tickets)

To be honest, Qifeng didn't really want to take action. He just wanted to quietly collect the corpses and then go back to sleep.

He didn't want to participate in these filthy and nonsensical matters.

But the current situation is that even if he wants to leave, these Hidden Mist ninjas won't let him.

Everyone, more or less, has a temper.

The Hidden Mist ninjas provoked him again and again, and he also became a little angry.

Completely forgetting his targeting of the Hidden Mist ninjas during the first round of the exam.

Moreover, now that they have already pointed their guns at his nose, if he really doesn't do something...

He wouldn't feel comfortable, and his thoughts wouldn't be clear.

Unclear thoughts can easily lead to sleepless nights.

For a more comfortable sleep at night, he is forced to make some counterattacks.

Fortunately, the Hidden Mist ninjas have already removed the nearby surveillance, so there is no need to worry about anything.

After confirming the safety of the perspective again and again, Qifeng slowly drew out the long knife from his waist, gently touching the blade with one hand, as if wiping the blade.

But in the next instant, the rock under his feet suddenly burst, and his whole body disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Kisame Hoshigaki's face changed, and without hesitation, he leaped up, jumping backward, while rapidly forming hand seals in the air and pressing down.

"Water Release! Water Shark Bullet Technique!"

Whoosh!

Ripples spread across the surface of the accumulated water that permeated the ground inside the cave, and several streams of water condensed to form sharks that pounced directly at Qifeng, the ferocious and sharp shark mouths gleaming coldly, seemingly wanting to tear him to pieces.

However, Qifeng's figure was like flowing water, gently and tracelessly avoiding the sharks' attacks one by one.

Without sufficient speed and sufficiently sharp dynamic vision, this behavior, comparable to dancing on the tip of a knife, could easily lead to being swallowed by the sharks with the slightest carelessness.

Water Flow Sword Technique!

His figure suddenly appeared beside a Hidden Mist ninja, and the sudden display of a familiar figure and sword technique made this Hidden Mist ninja stunned.

How could the other party know their Hidden Mist sword technique?

"Crap..."

In the moment of daze, his hair stood on end.

The Hidden Mist genin's expression changed drastically, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes. He never expected that he would become the other party's first target.

What shocked him even more was that someone who was clearly just an unknown corpse collector could suddenly burst out with such speed?

Combined with the Water Flow Sword Technique, it made his figure even more unpredictable. In the blink of an eye, he was already beside him.

The Hidden Mist genin quickly drew out a kunai and swung it up to meet Qifeng's blade.

Qifeng's eyes were calm, and the muscles in his right arm holding the long knife instantly bulged, abandoning the gentle and sufficient but weak Water Flow Sword Technique, and unreasonably slashed down with a knife full of power.

Clang!

A silver thread slid down from above, passed through the kunai, brushed past the Hidden Mist ninja, and with just a flash, the thunderous offensive disappeared into tranquility.

The Hidden Mist genin's figure froze in place, and he turned his eyes with difficulty, landing on Qifeng in front of him, opening his mouth to say something, a red line suddenly appeared from the center of his eyebrows, and strands of blood gushed out from it, along with the splashing water, his body tilted backward and fell to the ground.

This scene happened too fast, so fast that several Hidden Mist ninjas were unable to react.

What made him even more unacceptable was that a companion who also possessed the strength of a Chunin was unable to withstand a single blow from Qifeng, this inconspicuous corpse collector.

This was an absolute difference in strength. There were no fancy moves, no dazzling ninjutsu, just one knife.

Qifeng was not surprised by this.

What a joke.

Although the system's current evaluation of him is Elite Chunin, he knows deeply that he was able to get the Elite Chunin rating entirely by relying on the taijutsu attribute, forcibly raising his evaluation level.
