Naruto Puppet Master

"Okay, I will send you here, and you will have to walk the rest of the way on your own." The third Hokage stopped and turned to the many children who were following behind him.

"I believe that none of you don't know about this forest, so I won't say more."

"This assessment requires you to arrive at a monitoring base in the forest within two days, where we will hold the final selection. Only those who arrive on time will be eligible to participate in the second competition."

"Of course, in view of the danger here, the village allows you to give up on your own." As he spoke, the Third Hokage motioned to the ANBU ninja who had been carrying a large wooden box behind him to step forward.

"Give them the scroll."

"Yes." said the ANBU carrying the wooden box.

Seeing the ANBU taking out the scrolls in the wooden box behind him and starting to distribute them, the Third Hokage continued: "This scroll that is about to be sent to you is the key to your help and giving up. Each scroll has the shadow of a jounin sealed in it. The clone and opening the scroll automatically releases a distress signal, so if any of you wants to give up halfway, you can directly open the scroll and ask for help."

Hearing the words of the Third Hokage, a group of young ninjas who were a little nervous because of the assessment venue immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Those who had already received the scrolls immediately put away the life-saving scrolls they had just received. Even those who had not been assigned yet responded with eagerness. Erdan looked at the ANBU who were being assigned.

Even the most casual Aburame Shison and Kurama Yakumo among the people did not ignore the scroll in their hands. Although they did not regard it as a life-saving thing, they still kept it close to their bodies. All of this stemmed from the fact that everyone This deep forest where I was at that time.

Youma Forest: Located to the west of the base of Konoha Ninja Village, the outermost area is only five miles away from Konoha Ninja Village, and the total area is at least a thousand miles. It was originally just an ordinary dense forest, but it changed due to the occurrence of a demonic disaster. .

Especially because it is adjacent to a large number of monsters that once lurked, and even the source of the demonic energy existed in the Konoha Death Forest, which made this nameless forest undergo even more demonic changes.

"In the original demonic disaster, because this place was only on the side and not the center of the demonic disaster, although the Death Forest was eradicated by the empire's army, it was not taken care of by the empire's army."

"When the village later discovered the difference here, it was no longer an easy problem to solve." Hyuga Neji, the young leader of the divine pattern Hyuga clan in the dense forest, introduced it to some friends around him who were not entirely clear about it.

As the largest force among the guardian clan of Konoha Village, the divine pattern Hyuga is very influential in the entire guardian clan of Konoha. As the young clan leader, Hyuga Neji naturally got some other similar talents in this competition. Joined the help of the geniuses of the small clan who guarded the array of the clan.

Similar scenes are constantly happening everywhere.

After all, for these small clan geniuses who can barely meet the registration requirements and are not very strong themselves, there is only one demon hunter. Instead of competing with more powerful geniuses, who may not be able to earn anything in the end, it is better to go Help wealthy geniuses like Hyuga Neji.

After all, as long as you take action, no matter whether the person you seek refuge with succeeds or not, there is always a favor.

Therefore, the examination has just begun, and many candidates have identified small genius groups based on the current relationship between the various races in Konoha Village.

Among them are in addition to the scattered groups formed by the collapse of the group headed by Hara Uchiha and the lone wanderers such as Aburame Shison and Kurama Yakumo who want to compete for the title of Demon Hunter.

The most powerful teams are the two teams.One of them is a team of various guardian families led by the guardian clan's Hyuga Neji.

The other side is headed by Inuzuka Hana, the eldest daughter of the Inuzuka family, who has united a team of participating geniuses from various races who have joined the Hokage family in the old era.

"Master Neji, should we ambush them directly at the surveillance base or do we do it on the road?"

"Just in case, of course we have to do it on the road. Otherwise, although the chance of interception in the end is greater, there is no chance to recover if we miss." The young ninja who accompanied him on the other side said.

"Well, Dashan is right. It takes almost two days from here to the destination. This period is enough for us to make arrangements."

"And instead of the final robbery, it is better to set traps along the way to block the opponent's footsteps. As long as the opponent cannot arrive on time, then the assessment will naturally be considered a failure." During the flyby, the seven-year-old Hyuga Neji said in a deep voice. said.

"Yes, this saves more effort. Even if it doesn't work, it won't be too late to rob and kill in the end." A sturdy young man named Jiao Fang Dashan said with a ruthless face.

Jiao Fang Dashan: Born in the Jiao Fang clan, a small clan that has long since declined among the countless small clans in Konoha. There is no blood stain limit in his family. He is considered to be a secret clan who inherits a secret technique. The secret technique of exploding stones passed down from his family has extremely powerful The melee fighting ability is similar to the hardening, petrification and other ninjutsu effects of Earth Release.

"However, its explosive power is stronger, but its disadvantage is that it is weak in successors. He is a typical battlefield man. At the same time, except for earth escape ninjutsu, he is not good at other ninjutsu at all. It is only then that a family with such distinctive characteristics declines and loses many inheritances. There is no sign of rising now.”

"It wasn't until I took refuge in the temple and joined the Guardian Clan, and received the protection and resources of the temple, that I was able to cultivate a great talent like Jiao Fang Dashan."

"The world is cruel. Since you have become an opponent, you will naturally have to kill the opponent during the battle. There is nothing wrong with killing the opponent by mistake. Compared to the village, there will be no punishment."

"But after all, we are people from the same village. Now the evil is the only enemy of us humans. Therefore, if victory has been established, then don't take the opportunity to kill the opponent." Hyuga Neji, who was aware of Oyama's cruel temperament, said calmly.

"Master Ningji underestimated me this time. Although I have always been heroic in Oyama's battles, it may look a little bloody, but that's all because the enemy is a monster. This time my opponent is also from a village. , and they are not monsters. After establishing the victory, Dashan will naturally not kill again." Jiao Fang Dashan said with a ruthless look on his face.

"Well, it's good that you know." Regardless of whether Dashan really thought so or agreed verbally, Hinata Neji did not intend to continue talking.

"It doesn't matter if it's a deadly attack, otherwise if there really is a fight, the timid Oyama may not be his opponent!" Hinata Neji thought in his mind.

"By the way, Master Neji, I wonder who we are targeting!" After making his promise, Jiao Fang Dashan asked curiously as he looked at Hinata Neji who was leading the way.

At the same time, several other young ninjas who followed also pricked up their ears.

"I have communicated with Inuzuka Hana secretly. We will deal with Aburame Shizon, and she will deal with Kurama Yakumo."

"Aburame Shizun, that guy's golden armor

Insects are said to be terrifying!And his true strength is actually very mysterious, so why choose him? "

"I think that the soft and weak little girl might be better. At least I can see at a glance that her physical skills are definitely not that strong." Thinking of the short child wearing a cannon uniform, he has always been fierce and needless. A trace of hesitation flashed in Dashan's eyes.

"That damn guy's blood smell is too strong. He's not a soft persimmon no matter how you look at it. Moreover, I heard that the monsters he usually hunts always end up with mysterious corpses. It's really scary!" Dashan thought in his heart.

"There is no way. I also know that Aburame Shizun is difficult to deal with, but the Aburame family is a family of secret arts after all. Even if he improves the Aburame family's secret insect control technique, he will not be able to achieve much in other aspects. And my Byakugan can at least see Aburame Shisun’s bugs, so it’s most appropriate for me to deal with Aburame Shisun.”

"At least you are under my care and will not be infected by his bugs."

??

"That's it. Hyuga Neji will deal with Aburame Shizon, and we will be responsible for stopping Kurama Yakumo." In the dense forest on the other side, Inuzuka Hana, surrounded by three gray wolfhounds, said loudly to her companions below.

"Sister Hana, why do you want to take on this matter? You don't know how powerful Kurama Yakumo is!" Shiranui complained, "I'm afraid we won't even be able to see her figure before she gets pulled into the genjutsu. among them.”

"It is said that that girl is famous for being a scheming person. If we are caught by her, there is no telling how she will torture us!"

"That's right, it's said that someone offended her in the past, and she used the blood stain magic to drag her into a haunted house and kill him!"

"That's right, I've heard about this too. It's said that the little witch was a killer on the street. It's so miserable. I heard that the poor guy still has psychological problems. From now on, he doesn't dare to go out on the street to meet people! "

"Is this true? What should I do? This is too scary."

"Yes! If she gets revenge for this, then she will still be like this in the future!"

"How about we persuade Sister Hua to give up."

"good idea."

"Shut up, everyone." Looking at the seven or eight companions who started to mess up below him as soon as he finished speaking, Inuzuka Hana shouted angrily: "Shiranui Kai, Akimichi Hyoude, you two dare to shake the morale of the army with rumors."

"That's right! We just told the facts we know!" Shiranui Gui said with flashing eyes.

"Yes! Yes! It's too dangerous to go to the enemy Kurama Yakumo, I think it's better to forget it!" Akimichi Hyouding, who was eating snacks, suggested.

"Damn it, can't you have confidence in me? Do you want to find someone to die?" Hana Inuzuka shouted angrily.

"Woof, woof, woof." Hearing Inuzuka Hana's shout, the three wolf dogs around him immediately barked in a sinister voice, as if they were catering to Inuzuka Hana.

"Listen, listen, even Da Hui, Er Hui and San Hui agree with what I say."

"You don't believe me."

"Bingding! What should we do?"

"We were originally brought here to make up the numbers, so we just regarded it as an experience and passed it by. Boss Hua is going to lead everyone to a dead end!" Looking at the excited Inuzuka Hana, he changed his target and directed his artillery fire at After identifying the others, Shiranui Gui said quietly to Akimichi Hōding next to him with a bitter look on his face.

"How do I know! At the beginning, we all recommended you to be the leader, but you yourself gave up to Inuzuka Hana when you saw that she wanted to fight. What can I do now." Akimichi Hyouding said helplessly and complaining.

"Well, it's not like you don't know her character. If you don't give it to her, she will definitely make a fuss. If I don't argue with her, don't I just want her to be quiet and not cause any trouble?"

"In addition, her three ninja dogs will indeed be of great help to our subsequent actions, and her own strength makes it reasonable for us to be our leader."

"But now she is looking for trouble with Kurama Yakumo. I don't want to be tortured by Kurama Yakumo and be trapped in a genjutsu. Kurama Yakumo will definitely let me experience the feeling of being hungry for ten days and a half in the genjutsu. ." Akimichi Byouding shook his head and said: "I don't want to take pills here, so I won't deal with Kurama Yakumo."

"?????So, what are your opinions now? You can't deal with Aburame Shison! Can you solve the other party's terrifying insect swarm?" Inuzuka Hana, who spoke continuously for 10 minutes, finally concluded said.

"Well, I mean, why do we have to deal with Kurama Yakumo and Aburame Shizon! Aren't we training? Assessments and stuff don't seem to have much to do with us!" A young man underground said softly.

"Asshole, Mito, how can you be so unambitious!" Hana Inuzuka said immediately, "Since I have become your boss, I will naturally lead you to victory and glory."

"Although I never thought about grabbing the title of Demon Hunter at first, now that I have become the boss, I must have a title worthy of the boss, so I will grab the title of Demon Hunter."

Hearing this, not only the other friends were shocked, but even Shiranui Kai, who was having a headache, stared at Inuzuka Hana with his chin raised in stunned silence.

At the same time, Akimichi Heitin on the side also looked at Inuzuka Hana with bulging eyes, and then he stared at Shiranui Kai without saying a word.

While bearing the dazzling gaze of Akimichi Heitin, and looking at the majestic Inuzuka Hana, Shiranui Kai also felt a twitch in his heart.

He didn't expect that this would happen when he gave in just to be lazy. This was really like shooting himself in the foot!

However, no matter how much he regretted in his heart, Shiranui Gui could only bite the bullet and risk being beaten by Inuzuka Hana and said: "Boss Hana."

"Well, Hui Gui! What do you have to say?" Inuzuka Hana looked at Shiranui Gui fiercely as she spoke.Obviously she has not forgotten Shiranui's objection just now. At this time, Inuzuka Hana's fierce eyes are actually warning the other party not to say anything that shouldn't be said.

"Well, what did Boss Hua say? In fact, I don't necessarily object to it. I just want to see if you can prove it!" Shiranui said firmly while looking at Inuzuka Hana.

"What do you prove?" Hana Inuzuka said in a gentle tone after hearing that Shiranui Gui was not going to object.

"Your strength against Kurama Yakumo!" Shiranui Gui said matter-of-factly: "Anyway, we are definitely no match for Kurama Yakumo. I guess you will have to do it yourself, boss. If you can really deal with Kurama Yakumo, If it’s Yun, then please speak up! As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will definitely help you.”
