No one knows Hokage better than me

As a thank you, Team 7 gave the sound ninja team's scroll to Shikamaru and the others, and then the two teams cooperated to act together.

At this moment, several people came to a river and assigned tasks: Naruto and Shikamaru were responsible for fishing, Choji was responsible for picking up wood and branches, Sasuke went hunting, and Sakura and Ino went to pick wild fruits.

They are going to have a barbecue party by the river to satisfy their bellies.

The ninja's work efficiency was still very high. Half an hour later, Sakura and Ino brought back several kinds of wild fruits and vegetables in simple straw baskets, as well as some fresh-looking non-toxic mushrooms.

Naruto and Shikamaru cooperated to catch more than ten fish and an innocent hare.

Choji has already set up the fire and is waiting to start roasting.

"Isn't Sasuke back yet?"

Sakura was slightly worried, and couldn't help but think of the black pattern on Sasuke's body just now.

Shikamaru shook his head. Ino saw Sakura's worried face and comforted her: "Sakura, Sasuke is so powerful. If no one among the genin is his opponent and he is just hunting nearby, there should be no problem."

It was a good thing that Ino didn't say this, but when he said this, Sakura immediately thought of Orochimaru.

Although she didn't know if that guy was a genin, Sakura had already had a strong psychological shadow on him.

Seeing Sakura lowering her head, Shikamaru was about to let everyone split up to find Sasuke, but then intermittent rumbles came from not far away.

Shikamaru guessed that this was the sound of some incredibly heavy beast moving, so he stood on the top of the tree to observe the situation.

As far as the eye can see, a huge brown bear is moving towards the river, but it is not walking vertically, but is being dragged horizontally.

"It's Sasuke, he caught a huge brown bear" Shikamaru shouted from the top of the tree.

Now that they have a large number of people, there is no need to be timid.

When Sakura heard this, she immediately came to life and became energetic, urging Choji to light the fire.

Ino had a dark look on her face and complained: "Sakura, weren't you still hanging your head and feeling depressed just now? Why did you jump up and down when you heard that Sasuke was okay? It's so rude of you."

Sakura held her head up proudly and said, "Ino, please stop teasing lemons. Don't you know that the power of love is infinite?"

"Bad forehead in love, don't go too far, Sasuke has no interest in you at all."

"Inozu, you know that Sasuke and I are in the same class. If he doesn't like me, you will definitely have no chance."

"What are you talking about with a bald forehead?"

"I'm just talking about you, Ino Boar"

Ino, who was comforting Sakura just now, was now quarreling with her again. From what they said, the reason was still because of Sasuke.

"Women are indeed very troublesome creatures," Shikamaru complained about his strength, and Choji nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Sasuke came back dragging nearly a thousand kilograms of brown bear. Naruto smiled and said with concern: "Thank you for your hard work, Sasuke."

Sasuke smiled. Hunting and other things were not worth mentioning to ninjas. On the contrary, he could save a girl easily, which was considered a good deed.

But having said that, if his compassion hadn't overflowed just now and snatched the girl's Book of Earth scroll, he would be able to truly celebrate with Team 10 now.

"Oh, blame me"

Sasuke felt guilty, so he naturally spoke in a more modest manner: "Okay, let's get ready to start the barbecue."

“Oye BBQ”

When Choji saw such a big brown bear, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but shed tears of emotion at the corner of his mouth.

Sasuke lit a fire with a fire ball, and then several people gathered around two fires to barbecue, a pile of wood for grilling, and a pile of twigs for grilling mushrooms, wild vegetables and the like.

Sakura and Ino, who had been arguing so much just now that they were blushing and thick-necked, now feel better again. They cooperate to arrange various grilled meat slices on clean large leaves, and add some lettuce and wild flowers for decoration. It is perfect.

In this way, Naruto's team and Shikamaru's team had a luxurious barbecue during the exam. He also packed up the remaining bear meat and took it away to eat in the next few days.

At almost noon on the fourth day, the two new teams saw the central tower from a distance.

According to Shikamaru's speculation during yesterday's barbecue, there must be someone ambushing near the tower, waiting to snatch the scroll.

Based on the mentality of these people, Shikamaru roughly divided them into three categories:

One type is people who simply didn't collect the two scrolls earlier and set up an ambush here to wait.

One type is those who have already received two kinds of scrolls before, but want to grab some more as spares, such as to provide them to ninjas in the same village or people who use them for trading.

There is also a category of people who, no matter how many scrolls they collect, will set up an ambush here in order to reduce the number of opponents in the next competition and increase their chances of becoming a chuunin.

Shikamaru's analysis was sound and both Naruto and Sasuke believed his speculation.

Looking at the handsome Shikamaru, Naruto couldn't help but snicker: Although this guy is afraid of trouble, his brain seems to be very useful.

Hiding in the bushes and observing the tall tower not far away, I suddenly heard a sound from behind.

Naruto immediately threw a kunai, hitting a large centipede in the head.

"What? It turns out it's just a centipede, but it's so big." Naruto's voice was as loud as ever.

"shush"

Shikamaru gestured for Naruto to keep quiet, and then explained: "Naruto, although there will definitely be enemies setting traps near the tower, if we are more cautious, we can use the traps to reap the benefits."

"You will expose our whereabouts by speaking loudly like this, and you will definitely be violently welcomed by the enemy."

When Shikamaru said, Sakura gestured to stop, "Wait a minute, something seems wrong here."

"What's wrong, Sakura?" Ino also felt that there seemed to be many eyes around her staring at her.

Women's intuition has always been terrifyingly accurate. Choji foolishly said that he couldn't see the enemy. However, after Sakura, who is good at illusions, solved the illusion, the surrounding terrain changed.

"It is indeed an illusion." Shikamaru's talent for illusion is also pretty good.

"It seems that there is no point in being cautious. We have already been violently welcomed by the enemy." Sasuke said in a serious tone.

The Rain Country ninjas hiding in the dark were quite surprised. The dream fire in their team was beyond the reach of ordinary genin in terms of illusion skills.

Unexpectedly, these Konoha genin in front of them could see through their trap at a glance.

They originally planned to exhaust the prey's energy before taking action, but since the illusion was broken by the opponent, they couldn't let the duck fly away.

Thinking about it, ninjas from Amegakure Village appeared everywhere in the trees and on the ground, wearing black clothes, covering their eyes with bandages, and wearing breathing devices on their mouths.

Naruto tried throwing a kunai at the enemy, but the kunai penetrated the enemy and was nailed to the tree trunk.

"It seems these are not shadow clones, just pure phantoms" Naruto announced his conclusion.

Sasuke also used his Sharingan to see through the enemy's ninjutsu, but when a real kunai was shot at him, the curse mark on his neck suddenly reacted, and then he lost control of his body.

"Sasuke, what are you thinking about?" Naruto yelled.

Shikamaru was closest to Sasuke and blocked the enemy's attack with his kunai.

"These enemies are all phantoms, why are kunai real?" Shikamaru was a little confused.

Black patterns appeared on Sasuke's body again. He struggled to cover the wound of the curse mark and gasped for air.

An indescribable feeling engulfed him, painful yet satisfying, with strength surging but unable to exert any force.

His body was as hot as a fever, his throat was cracking inch by inch, and his heart seemed to explode in the next second, jumping to an exaggerated frequency.

"It doesn't matter." Sakura squatted down and supported Sasuke's body.

Shikamaru, Choji and Ino tacitly surrounded the two to prevent them from being attacked by the enemy again.

Seeing Sasuke like this, Naruto felt very annoyed.

He gathered a large amount of chakra into his chest and then exhaled it in one breath.

"Wind Escape Infinite Breakthrough"

With Naruto's amount of chakra, the violent wind he breathed out completely changed the terrain.

Except for the piece of land where my companions were standing, all the roots of the surrounding trees were uprooted. Trees with a diameter of several meters fell suddenly, throwing up countless clods of soil that were raging in the wind.

"This guy is really fake" Meng Huo was shocked.

Over there, Ogi, who was about to attack with a kunai, was hit by the strong wind and flew straight away, rolling and hitting him, and the bones in his body cracked.

Bing, who was responsible for surveillance and reconnaissance in the Trinity, was knocked down by a tree trunk that fell diagonally and was disabled on the spot.

Angel-sama conveyed God's will to them to take the chunin selection exam, but they were so embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Meng Huo felt deeply guilty.

It was only noon on the fourth day, and they could have ignored the prey in front of them and waited for the next opportunity.

It's just that there seems to be no chance

With a helpless sigh, Meng Huo was knocked unconscious by a branch as thick as an arm.
