Infinite Simulation: From Konoha To Moon

Chapter 132: Desert of Demons

The written exam venue in Konoha was set up at the Ninja Academy.

Due to Li Xiang's influence, the Ninja Academy in Konoha was completely different from other ninja villages.

It would be more appropriate to call it Konoha's number one comprehensive university.

If we were to say that during the last Chunin exam, when Li Xiang used the Ghost Lamp Hiyuki to come and participate, the Ninja Academy still had some resemblance to its original form.

But now, it's no longer recognizable.

It's as if after Li Xiang finished high school in his previous life, the school started expanding and renovating. When he returned, everything except the name of the school was unfamiliar.

The Konoha's number one comprehensive university at this time also had this feeling.

White teaching buildings and wide roads could be seen everywhere.

Students rode bicycles or took school buses.

It felt like they had entered the wrong set.

Li Xiang felt a strong sense of dissonance when he transferred from the Rain Shinobi Village to Konoha.

Not to mention Ziyanghua, Furong, and the others, they were already too shocked to say anything.

After entering the school, they were guided to line up in front of a teaching building.

Li Xiang caught sight of someone he knew.

In charge of registration was Nara Shikamaru.

He was currently wearing the Chunin ninja uniform, and his face had matured, but his temperament still seemed lazy.

Sitting on the table, it made people worry that he might fall asleep.

Apart from Li Xiang's group, there were four or five other groups registering in the distance.

Because they were too far away, he could see Temari, who was six meters away.

After Gaara became the Kazekage, Temari and Kankuro's status had risen, plus Sunagakure didn't really have any strong individuals, so the two of them were already Jōnin.

Temari was in charge of the Chunin exam for Sunagakure this time.

Although they were lining up, the speed was not slow.

It quickly came to Li Xiang's turn.

Nara Shikamaru glanced at the forehead protector on his head, took out paper and a pen, and said, "Fill it out according to the requirements."

Li Xiang took it.

The paper was an application form.

It was nothing more than name, gender, age, ninja village, and other content.

After Li Xiang finished filling it out, he handed the form back to Nara Shikamaru.

"You are in seat number 30 in the seventh exam venue."

Nara Shikamaru gave him a small card, which was the admission ticket, and said, "The written exam officially starts at 9 o'clock in the morning. You can only be fifteen minutes late, exceeding the time limit will be considered as automatic withdrawal."

"Okay."

Li Xiang nodded and walked to the side.

After Ziyanghua and Furong finished registering, they asked around and found out that the three of them were in completely different exam venues.

It had been too long, and Li Xiang didn't have much impression of this Chunin exam.

But it didn't matter.

He came to stir up trouble, would he be killed by the fish in the pond?

Absolutely not!

Li Xiang followed the information on the admission ticket and found the seventh exam venue.

It was also a white teaching building.

He climbed up to the fourth floor from the stairs.

At this time, there were already many ninjas sitting in the classroom.

When they noticed him, they subconsciously glanced at him.

Most of them lost interest after a glance.

But there were also some who looked extremely malicious.

Li Xiang understood.

Being a ninja, a profession that allows killing at will, it's normal to have some scum.

There was a group of people who were psychologically perverted and enjoyed killing.

He silently remembered their faces.

If he encountered them, he could give them a big surprise.

Zhang Wuji remembered the faces but ultimately didn't take revenge, but he was different.

Revenge doesn't wait overnight, he was afraid of forgetting after a long time.

Li Xiang sat in his own seat and finally had the opportunity to observe the ninjas of Konoha.

He quickly spotted someone he knew.

Hyuga Neji.

The guy who shone brightly in this competition.

Apart from occasionally complaining about his fate, he is indeed an extremely qualified ninja.

Now with the butterfly effect, he may not necessarily die.

Li Xiang had a good impression of him in his previous life.

In addition to Hyuga Neji, he also saw Aburame Shino.

This person has no presence and no record of failure, one of the Konoha Twelve.

There is a clock hanging on the classroom wall.

When it reached nine o'clock, a Konoha Chunin walked up to the podium.

Judging by his appearance, he was only in his twenties.

The young man tapped the podium, attracting the attention of all the examinees.

He cleared his throat and said, "Please take your designated seats, the exam is about to begin. Let me explain the rules first, it's very simple: no cheating, no whispering, no fighting. Otherwise, you will be disqualified."

The same old topic.

Everyone seemed calm.

After the young man finished speaking, a voice came from the loudspeaker above his head.

"After confirming the number of people, the test papers will be distributed. If any examinee arrives fifteen minutes later, they will not be allowed to enter the examination room. If there are still examinees outside, please find your classroom immediately."

It was Nara Shikamaru's voice.

Li Xiang raised an eyebrow, he was indeed a rare high-intelligence ninja.

Inherited intelligence.

If Nara Shikamaru and Uchiha Obito's intelligence were exchanged, it would be a sure kill.

Unfortunately, it couldn't be done.

Perhaps, as the saying goes, when God closes a door, he opens a window for you.

Balance exists in everything.

Being both intelligent and powerful makes it difficult to play.

Actually, Uchiha Madara fits this criteria quite well, but he encountered Senju Hashirama at his peak, the ultimate unlucky guy.

Afterwards, he encountered the thousand-year-old old yin, Black Zetsu, and had a heart-to-heart conversation.

Looking back on his life, it was indeed quite tragic.

If Nara Shikamaru set the questions, the difficulty would not be low.

Li Xiang quickly received the test paper.

"Hmm?"

He glanced at it and found it surprisingly simple.

Any ninja should be able to do it.

Wait, Uzumaki Naruto might be an exception.

Li Xiang heard laughter and sighs from all around.

It seemed that their thoughts were the same.

This question is indeed simple.

It's like college students going back to do elementary school questions.

Uh... if it were in the previous life, he might really not be able to do it.

Li Xiang remembered seeing his niece's homework once and was dumbfounded.

"There are a total of five questions on the test paper, each worth ten points."

Nara Shikamaru's voice echoed clearly through the loudspeaker.

"The members of each team are in different examination rooms, and I require that the total score of the three of you must be exactly one hundred points. If it exceeds or falls short, all members will be eliminated."

After he finished speaking, everyone stopped laughing and their expressions became stiff.

This difficulty undoubtedly jumped to the level of hell.

Li Xiang, who was familiar with Nara Shikamaru, as well as Hyuga Neji and Aburame Shino, showed no surprise at all.

If they didn't cause a little trouble, it would be a disservice to the high intelligence of the Nara clan.

Whispering sounds could be heard.

Li Xiang glanced over and found that Aburame Shino's insects were flying through the window to another examination room.

It's really convenient.

The Aburame clan in Konoha is called the all-around ninja for a reason.

They understand reconnaissance, combat, perception... a little bit of everything.

Hyuga Neji raised his hand and asked, "Teacher, besides cheating, fighting, and whispering, can we do other things?"

"Of course," the invigilator replied.

"Thank you, teacher."

Hyuga Neji stood up and walked to the wall behind him.

He punched directly, stopping after three punches.

The rest of the people in the classroom were confused.

But soon, the clever ninja understood his actions.

Hyuga Neji knocked three times, reminding the other examinees in the exam room to write down thirty points.

And he himself scored forty points, adding up to a total of one hundred points.

To come up with such a method in such a short time is undoubtedly clever.

But at this moment, a Sand Shinobi punched him again.

"What are you doing?" Hyuga Neji questioned.

"Hmph, according to your method, everyone can pass, but it takes away the fun," the Sand Shinobi sneered, "It's better to rely on individual abilities. Too many people going to the second exam room will only lead to a dead end."

Hyuga Neji frowned.

Because of the exam rules, he couldn't retaliate against this Sand Shinobi.

The other examinees in the classroom were the same, glaring at him with murderous intent.

But the Sand Shinobi didn't care at all.

He returned to his seat, raised his hand, and carved their team's exclusive secret code outside the window with quicksand.

For a while, chaos ensued, with various methods being used.

Li Xiang, on the other hand, kept it simple.

He directly took out two pieces of paper, wrote a line of words, and threw them out.

Konan's paper control technique was simply a cheat sheet.

An hour later, the written test ended, but it wasn't completely over.

Nara Shikamaru's voice came through the broadcast.

"Everyone, there is one final question. Your ninja team encounters a powerful enemy and must sacrifice one person to save the other two. Who would you leave behind? Please write down your answer. If all three people write the same content, it will be considered a pass."

Li Xiang smirked.

Why does this question sound so much like "save the big one or the small one"?

Or the classic dilemma of saving either your girlfriend or your mother-in-law when they both fall into the water.

It's simply a classic.

Nara Shikamaru's thoughts were obviously easy to guess.

Those who were capable of cheating naturally didn't need this easy question.

He was giving a chance to the ninja teams who couldn't contact their members.

If they were cooperative enough or lucky, they could pass this written test.

Li Xiang, of course, didn't need to rely on luck.

He manipulated the pieces of paper again to inform his other two teammates.

Without writing any names, he simply wrote the word "me".

Nara Shikamaru asked for the same content.

Writing "me" for all three people undoubtedly complied with the rules.

The final question only had a fifteen-minute answering time.

Amidst the various expressions of hesitation and contemplation, they wrote down their answers.

"The results will be announced in two hours. Please gather at the largest square in the school at that time."

The proctoring young ninja said, "You can leave now."

Li Xiang and the others immediately stood up.

After everyone had left, the young ninja began collecting the exam papers and went to the designated classroom.

Nara Shikamaru and Temari were already waiting there.

The former, as the question setter, may only be a Chūnin, but he was already in charge of Konoha.

If Li Xiang were here, he would directly mock them for their publicly funded relationship.

In the previous Chūnin exams, Nara Shikamaru and Temari could be said to have become acquainted through fighting.

Now they already had mutual feelings, it just depended on who would break through this barrier first.

Fortunately, Sunagakure and Konoha Village were allies, so the two didn't have to face the dilemma of being at odds.

A group of people began reviewing the exam papers.

"It's quite interesting," Nara Shikamaru suddenly laughed and handed the exam paper to Temari beside him.

Temari naturally took it and glanced at it, a smile forming at the corner of her mouth.

"A very clever answer."

She flipped over the exam paper and saw the answerer, it was Yeyu.

Among all the answers, theirs were the most unique.

Most people honestly wrote the name of one teammate, while a small number of people didn't write anything and handed in a blank paper.

Nara Shikamaru and Temari naturally didn't make a big deal out of it, as long as the content was the same, it would be considered a pass.

The square of the ninja school.

Li Xiang arrived on time as scheduled.

He took the opportunity to have lunch.

A few minutes later, Temari arrived in front of them with a gust of wind.

She smiled and took out a list, starting to read the names. Finally, she said, "Next, the second round of the test will begin. The destination is the Magic Desert in Sunagakure. The latest arrival of the seven teams will be eliminated."

After a moment of silence, the ninjas in the square scattered and quickly ran towards the village outskirts.

Li Xiang had planned to use the Dance of the Shikigami to fly over with Ziyanghua and Fufu.

"Wait."

Ziyanghua shook her head and then tapped the ground. Suddenly, a black and white giant beast appeared.

A panda?

Li Xiang raised an eyebrow.

A friendly summoning beast.

Who knows where Ziyanghua caught it from.

But Li Xiang finally got to experience what it's like to ride a panda.

Back in the main world, it would be even more convincing to say that he rode a panda to school in Sichuan.

Temari unexpectedly glanced at them but didn't stop them.

Summoning beasts are also a reflection of a ninja's strength.

The panda set off with big strides.

Its shoulders were wide, and three people sitting on it didn't feel crowded at all.

It was just a bit shaky.

It reminded Li Xiang of the muddy roads in the countryside in his previous life.

Shaking quite pleasantly.

But now he was a ninja, with a stronger physical fitness, so this bit of shaking was nothing.

The panda left Konoha Village and headed towards Sunagakure.

For an ordinary ninja, it takes three days to travel from Konoha Village to Sunagakure.

The summoning beast was obviously faster.

They arrived in Sunagakure in just two days.

Once they reached the desert, the panda's speed slowed down.

Its enormous weight made it easy for it to sink into quicksand.

Ziyanghua put away the panda and they continued on foot.

Half an hour later, they arrived at their destination.

The Magic Desert.

This desert is home to many powerful ninja beasts and is very dangerous.

Setting the exam here undoubtedly took this factor into consideration.

The official time for the second round of the exam is tomorrow.

Obviously, they wanted to leave enough time for the remaining ninja teams to arrive.

Li Xiang and the other two went to the room arranged by Sunagakure.

"Yeyu, Lady Angel wants us to investigate the situation of the Jinchūriki in other ninja villages. Now is a good opportunity," Ziyanghua said.

"After a long journey, their vigilance must have decreased," she continued.

"If that's the case, let Fuyong use sensory ninjutsu," Li Xiang agreed without hesitation.

Although he knew there were no Jinchūriki in this exam, it was not appropriate to say it directly.

Fuyong nodded.

Sunagakure arranged all the candidates in the same building, which undoubtedly made it convenient for her investigation.

She formed hand seals and spread her perception.

As a Jinchūriki, her chakra was naturally quite substantial.

Unless they had powerful sealing techniques like Konoha, which could prevent any trace of the tailed beast from leaking out.

Otherwise, the characteristics were still quite obvious.

"None," Fuyong shook her head.

"There are still many ninjas who haven't arrived. Try again later," Ziyanghua said.

She admired Konan quite a bit and naturally wanted to complete the task she had given them.

Fuyong tried a few more times but returned empty-handed.

However, she did discover a few strong enemies, so it wasn't without gains.

This book's current performance can't support full-time writing, and there's no hope for improvement in the short term. I can only start another book. If you're interested, go take a look. This book won't be abandoned. I will finish writing "Hokage Dragon Clan Type Moon". Being unemployed at home for two months, I can guarantee updates of 4,000 words for both books. The reason for changing accounts is due to attendance issues.

PS: A relaxed farming and romance novel, set in the same period as Minato, with Konan as the female lead.
