Naruto, Time of Dawn

The rules of the second exam are different from the past. Each of the five major shadow villages will ask one question this time, and the exam venue for each team will be determined by drawing lots. Even the tasks are set by the chief examiner of each village. Compared with previous years, , the difficulty has indeed increased a lot.

As the leader of the team, Konohamaru, who had just drawn the test question, handed the scroll to Youta, "Teacher, I have been very unlucky recently, so I can only wish you good luck."

Yota unfolded the scroll with excitement on his face and muttered, "Let me see where we got... Suna, Sand Hidden Village?!"

"what?!"

Yuzuru grabbed the scroll and saw that what was painted on the scroll was the symbol of Sunagakure Village.

"...Konohamaru Nissan, it's not that you have bad luck, it's that you are extremely unlucky!"

Konohamaru rubbed the bridge of his nose and laughed. You must know that these two students have never even been out of Konoha Gate a few times. They suddenly have to go on a long trip, or to the desert. It would be strange if they don't wear off a layer of skin from these two little brats!

"That can't be helped."

Li Xiao was too lazy to complain about such luck, "Let's all go back and prepare. The desert has a big temperature difference between day and night, and there are many poisons. It's easy to get lost. You must bring detoxifying serum, food, water, and warm clothes. As for the other... .... Just bring some with you."

"Yup!"

Konohamaru slapped his forehead, "How could I forget this problem!" As he said that, he slapped Li Xiao on the shoulder and said seriously: "Everyone just prepare as Li Xiao said, time is running out. , Disband!”

Li Xiao, who was pressed for time, took out the space scroll as soon as he got home. Most of it was filled with just water, followed by medicine, food, and clothing. There were quite a few scattered pieces in total, and he put them all into the scroll in an orderly manner. .Kushina, who was idle at home, put her sleeping daughter in the cradle and came to help him.

"Where did you draw? Is it dangerous?"

"Sunagakure Village," Li Xiao complained to Kushina while cleaning up, "Konohamaru Nissan's luck is really bad!"

Kushina laughed heartily and gloated: "It's okay. Although the environment in the desert is indeed worse, we should also think about the good things."

Li Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "For example?"

"For example, the desert has a wide field of vision and it is difficult to ambush!" She winked playfully, "Grandma said, you shouldn't agree to Naruto's request not to use ninjutsu. When the time comes, you can just blast out a rasengan. Come on, let's see who dares to stop you!"

Li Xiao frowned and said with a smile: "Then there would be no point in challenging, grandma."

"Slightly slightly slightly slightly!"

Seeing that Li Xiao had almost cleaned up, Kushina gave Kyuubi a few words and said: "Grandma will go with you, just in time to meet Li Xiao's friends."

Li Xiao put the scroll into his ninja tool bag and said "ok".

When the two arrived at the meeting place, a burst of white light quickly lit up, and suddenly, all the candidates present disappeared!

"What's going on?" Kushina was a little angry. She hasn't seen anyone here yet!

"This..." Genma, who was in charge of this area, broke out in a cold sweat, "Master Kazekage said that the examination venue prepared by Sunagakure Village is a bit remote, so the candidates who are scheduled to take the exam in Sunagakure Village must first gather at Sunagakure Village. , and then send them to the examination room together!"

"......"

Kushina was silent. Can she beat the red-haired boy?

Li Xiao, who was directly transported to Shayin Village, was also a little out of the situation. Looking around, he couldn't recognize anyone!

"Hey! Are you here to take the exam too, little brat?"

Although his made-up "third" answers in previous exams have made many people pay attention to him, appearance can be deceiving. With this delicate, cute, and very childish face, it is really difficult not to Let him do the surgery.Li Xiao, who knew this well, ignored it. Since he had promised Naruto not to use ninjutsu in the next exam, he would not easily break the contract unless Naruto personally canceled it.However, his silence resulted in intensified harassment from the other party.

"Hey!" The big man pushed him and said, "What about you! Don't you have ears?"

Li Xiao stabilized his body, dusted the place where the big man pushed him, and said coldly: "Are you an idiot?"

"What did you say?!"

"I said, are you an idiot?" Li Xiao glanced at him and said, "This is the waiting area. Who else comes here besides the candidates taking the exam? Are you going to be a clown like you?"

"you,"

The big man couldn't stand this anger, so he immediately threw out his kunai and attacked.Li Xiao casually took the kunai flying towards him, tapped his toes, and made a beautiful spin like a bird, escaping the big man's attack.He played with the kunai and said contemptuously: "The one who can take the exam has two brushes? It's not a smart person to expose yourself casually like this, uncle."

Big, uncle? !

The big man is almost autistic. He just looks a little anxious. How can he become an uncle? !

The whole hall burst into laughter, which made the candidates who came from behind a little confused. Yota and Yuzuru, who happened to be in this batch, saw Li Xiao and immediately went over and asked: "What happened? They are laughing so happily?"

"That's enough!" Temari, who was in charge of the Sunagakure Village exams, walked in, "What does it look like to be a ninja and make a lot of noise?! The aunt in Tanshu Street?!"

Kankuro followed closely behind and said helpfully: "In my opinion, forget them all if they fail, so as to save you the trouble."

"Shut up for me!"

Temari's forehead was throbbing with veins. She took several deep breaths to suppress her anger. She held out her fan and said loudly: "Listen up, you all. I am the examiner of this exam, Temari. This exam will take place in the desert. In the deepest part, there will be a dedicated person to take you there later. Let me declare in advance that the location of this trial is full of poisonous insects, quicksand, and sandstorms. You'd better be careful and don't lose your life to me."

"Poison, poisonous insect..."

.

"It's over..."

Yota quickly supported Yuzuru beside him and said helplessly: "She is basically useless as soon as she sees the insect."

Li Xiao glanced at Yuzuru's legs that had lost their support and nodded silently.

It seems that there is some trouble.

"This is your mission." Temari took out a lot of scrolls and threw them in front of them. "These missions are different. My requirement is to complete the mission within seven days and have all members of the team reach the oasis. Otherwise, we will be eliminated!"

"In addition, in order to ensure your life safety." Kankuro also took out a lot of signal guns and said: "One for each team. Once your signal guns are fired, we will arrive immediately, which also means that you will Be eliminated."

Temari picked up the big fan and said sternly: "Now, do you understand the rules?"

"Hi!!!!!!"

........................

Although Yamamoto Yuzuru was very resistant, he still went to the deepest part of the desert at the urging of Yota and Li Xiao.The ninja who led the way had already left. The vast and empty desert looked vast and empty, making people lose their bearings almost instantly.

Yota helped Yuzuru sit down, and Li Xiao walked to him and stretched out his hand, saying: "Scroll."

"Oh." Yang Tai handed the mission scroll to Li Xiao and joked: "I hope my luck will be better."

Li Xiao unfolded the scroll and fell silent.He put the scroll on the ground and said, "It seems that your luck is not very good either."

The clichés at the beginning were removed from the scroll, the flowery words in the middle were removed, and the nutritious speech at the end was cut off. It clearly stated that they were asked to solve the Yaole entrenched in the desert.

Yang Tai thought for a long time but couldn't find any information about Yaole from his lack of mind, so he asked: "What is Yaole? Is it very powerful?"

"Yole is a mountain eagle, also called a vulture." Yuzuru, who has crawled out of the fear of poisonous insects, gave the answer: "But they generally live in low hills, alpine wastelands and wild rock grasslands in forests. Valley streams and forest edge areas 1. Why does it appear here?”

(Note: 11This content is Baidu results, quoted from the original text.)

"Maybe it got lost during the migration and fell down."

Li Xiao looked at the situation around him and said, "Let's go this way and check out the situation first."

Yuzuru supported Yota to stand up and walked to the front, followed closely by Yota and Li Xiao.The three of them walked quickly in the desert until the sun set in the west and stopped on a small hill made of sand.

Li Xiao sat down on the spot and said, "Let's take stock of the things we brought so that we can make the next arrangements."

Yang Tai took off his luggage and said, "I brought some antidote serum, dry food, water, and some warm clothes as you said."

"I brought water, military ration pills, a windproof cloak and some wound medicine. I didn't bring anything else because I thought it was too much."

Yuzuru took out the Bingliang Pill, "It's already very late now, let's use this to hold on for a while."

"no, I'm fine!"

Yang Tai quickly dug out the two roast chickens he had brought, "My mother forced them on me when I came here. We can eat this."

Yuzuru's eyes widened and he said, "I'm just wondering why your bag is so big, and it actually contains two chickens!"

Yota chuckled twice, then broke off two chicken legs and handed them to Yuzuru and Li Xiao.

"It's a little cold, so I'll make do with it."

"Don't you know how to use fire escape?" Li Xiao didn't answer, "Use fire escape to heat it up before eating."

"Use fire escape," Yota almost stopped his jaw and shouted, "Roast chicken?!"

Use fire escape to roast chicken?It’s simply incomprehensible!

Li Xiao glanced at him, his voice extremely calm.

"The original intention of creating technology is to facilitate people's lives. Is there anything wrong with using it to heat food?"

"..."

Unable to refute...

Yuzuru coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject, "What did you bring, Li Xiao?"

Li Xiao took out the scroll from the ninja tool bag. Yuzuru's eyes lit up and he said: "Space scroll."

"Yes."

Li Xiao did not shy away from it, and handed the scroll to Yuzuru generously, "I brought almost the same thing as you, they are all in there."

Yuzuru played with the scrolls. You must know that space scrolls are always rare, and there are even fewer that can store things and access them at any time.She returned the scroll to Li Xiao and took the roasted chicken leg heated by the fire escape again.

Yuzuru said: "Then what should we do next?"

Li Xiao also took the chicken leg and took a bite, saying: "The heat is over."

"You still ask for heat!"

Yang Tai's mentality suddenly exploded.During that training on weekdays, isn't it better to keep the fire as big and strong as possible?In order to cook this chicken, he had tried his best to control his chakra, so why was he still picky?

"of course."

Li Xiao bit the chicken leg and answered seriously.

"If you can't control chakra well I can teach you."

"...No."

Yota seemed to be so angry that he grabbed the chicken wings and stuffed them into his mouth, which made Yuzuru feel distressed.

When night fell, the two chickens had been completely eaten, but mainly they went into Yang Tai's stomach. After all, Li Xiao's stomach was taken out by Sasuke, so he forced himself to eat one of the drumsticks of the two chickens.

The three of them took out warm and cold-proof clothes from their respective luggage and put them on. Seeing that Yuzuru only added a windproof cloak, Yota took out a large cotton-padded jacket and put it on Yuzuru.Li Xiao took out the anti-worming medicine from the scroll and sprinkled it in a large circle around the two people. To be on the safe side, he sprinkled some more on everyone.

"Yota, the vigil starts with you, then me, and then Yuzuru." Li Xiao returned to the circle and lit a bonfire. "Most of the creatures in the desert are dormant during the day and emerge at night, so we must be extra cautious and vigilant. Sandstorms, if there is any movement, we must be woken up in time."

After finishing their instructions, Li Xiao and Yuxian went to rest.For the next two days, they maintained a peaceful state of non-intrusion with the original "residents" of the desert, until at ten o'clock in the evening on the third day, they met the ninjas of Iwagakure Village on a narrow road at the mission location.

The three of them didn't want to conflict with them, so they asked: "Senior, can you please do something convenient for us? Let us pass?"

"What if we say no?"

Three ninjas from Iwagakure Village, about sixteen or seventeen years old, stood in front of them and laughed very hard!

Li Xiao glanced at the bandages on their bodies and said, "You guys just fought. The guy in the gray vest over there was seriously injured. If we really fight, we won't be the ones who suffer."

"..."

Li Xiao's words calmed their arrogance, and he continued: "The desert terrain is vast, and any loud movement will attract the attention of other candidates, and you will not be able to leave even if you want to."

The leading ninja had short, spiky hair and wore strange clothes that he thought were cool. He said in an arrogant voice: "Boy, do you think we are scared? Ah!"

The ending notes were filled with anger, full of momentum, but the three of them showed no fear.

"A lot of nonsense!"

Yang Tai rolled up his sleeves and said coldly, "Just hit them until they get out of the way."

"agree."

Yuzuru took off his luggage and threw it next to Li Xiao, "Keep an eye on it for me."

A series of actions by the two aroused the anger of the three, and the three showed their weapons one after another, and the battle was about to break out!

Li Xiao sighed. He didn't want to waste time, but it would be too ruthless to abandon his companion like this.In order to save time, he took out the scroll and dug out a light brown jar and dropped it at the feet of several people.

"Li Xiao, what are you doing!"

Yuzuru covered his nose and retreated. That guy Li Xiao didn't know what he threw. It smelled terrible!

Yota, who unfortunately choked a few mouthfuls, fought off the leading ninja and knelt down on one knee, retching.

"Ahem... Li, Li Xiao, what on earth did you throw? It stinks!"

"Don't be noisy."

Li Xiao took out a scroll and held it in his hand, saying seriously: "Something is coming."

Piercing Tou, who was also so smoked that he had to cover his mouth and nose, cursed: "Pretend to be a ghost and use all kinds of dirty tricks!"

The other two members also covered their mouths and noses and echoed one after another.At this moment, a sharp eagle chirped, followed by a huge black shadow passing over everyone's heads.Everyone looked up one after another and saw mountain eagles perched on the Gobi desert, watching them eagerly.

Just when everyone was shocked by the huge size of the mountain eagle, the mountain eagle suddenly attacked them.Li Xiao, who was well prepared, quickly grabbed his two companions to avoid the humpback eagle's sharp iron claws and ducked into its blind spot.

After witnessing Gobi being clawed to pieces by an iron claw, Yang Tai broke into a cold sweat and trembled: "Is it, is it so strong?"

Li Xiao nodded lightly, his blue eyes stared at Yaole and the three ninjas, and said: "This is an adult giant Yaole, with its wings spread at least five meters."

"Five meters!"

Yota felt like he was going crazy. The one he just did was as powerful as a super A-level ninjutsu. If they really fought, would they still have a chance to win?

"Stop playing tricks!"

Yuzuru leaned down and lowered his voice: "What are your opinions?"

Li Xiao weighed the scroll in his hand and said calmly: "Don't worry, isn't there someone who will help us test the water?"

What?

Yuzuru quickly stabilized his staggering body and thought to himself, how long has it been to still have the intention to joke!

The three ninjas from Yanyin Village were fighting fiercely with Yaole, while the little guys who were hiding on the side "sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight" had their heads half exposed, feeling very excited in their hearts.

"Hey, that trick just now was good. If I open my eyes, I will definitely copy it!"

Yang Tai has obviously adapted to it, and it is a great pleasure to watch the battle.Just as he was about to clap his hands and cheer, Yuzuru quickly punched him in the head.

"Quiet, you idiot!"

"Air."

Li Xiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, startling the two of them.Yang Tai grabbed the place where he was hit, bared his teeth and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the air?"

"Most of Yaole's attacks require accumulating power in the air. To put it simply, by dragging it to the ground, we are half successful."

Yuzuru said: "What about the remaining half?"

Li Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at the scroll in his hand. He was silent for a while and said: "After all, it is only an adult. It has lost its air superiority and still has claws, fangs and brute strength... There are two ways to go."

"Just say it directly."

Yang Tai waved his hand, very boldly.

Li Xiao raised his index finger and said: "The first one is to rush out and use your strength to complete the task; the second one", he straightened his index finger, "Use medicine. I can use medicine to make them lose their mobility and let you slaughter them, but everyone is the same." The drug resistance of animals is completely different, so I cannot guarantee whether those three people will survive once they take the medicine."

"........."

Yang Tai breathed a long sigh of relief, "So I can only choose the first option!"

"Article [-]."

Yuzuru lifted up her long hair and tied it with a hair tie. After all, she graduated with the third best grade in the ninja school. If she couldn't even handle the game, she might as well go back to the drawing board and recreate it!

"Okay," Li Xiao raised the corner of his mouth, "the three of them can't hold on any longer. Yota, you will be responsible for the main attack in a while, Yuzuru will assist, and I will rescue the people as soon as possible to assist you."

"So...action!"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Tai kicked his feet hard, and his whole body was like an arrow from a string, piercing the sky.Yuzuru followed closely behind, and their tacit understanding always allowed her to seize the opportunity to strike quickly and accurately, gaining the upper hand unexpectedly.Li Xiao, who joined later, is not weak either. Perhaps the friendship between boys is built through fighting. Now his cooperation with Yang Tai is much better than when they first met. At least there will be no more accidental injuries to teammates.

Taking advantage of the moment when Yaole was attracted by Yota, Li Xiao dodged in front of the three Iwagakure Village ninjas. For safety reasons, he took numbing medicine on each of them before dragging them to the place with confidence. safe area.After settling them, Li Xiao held the scroll that he had held in his hand for a long time, hoping that this thing would be really useful.

Li Xiao walked onto the battlefield and found that Yota and Yuzuru had indeed stopped Yaole from flying into the air as he said.He threw out the scroll, and the shuriken that was as tall as him flew out. With a "click" sound, the shuriken split into two, then two turned into four, and four turned into eight, and soon it became a black mass.

His fighting style is not like Naruto, but more like Sasuke. It is sharp, as if it can cut through all the sharp edges!

Thin silk threads are wrapped around the fingertips, and the ten fingers rotate flexibly to pull the shuriken at the other end, ping ping ping ping ping, which is the crisp sound made by the collision of the shurikens.

"Youta!"

He shouted at the top of his lungs, now!

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

A huge fireball fell from the sky. Almost at the same time, Li Xiao loosened the silk thread on his hand, took out a bandage and wrapped it around his hands.

It's...too bad.

"Li Xiao, are you okay?"

Yota also wanted to pay attention to Yaole, and Yuzuru, who noticed something was wrong with Li Xiao, came over and happened to see Li Xiao's hands that had not been bandaged yet, and they were stained with blood.

"It's okay." Li Xiao bit one end of the bandage and tied a nice and smooth knot for himself, then changed to the other one.Yuzuru couldn't stand it any longer, so he grabbed the bandage and fiercely grabbed Li Xiao's hand to bandage it.

Li Xiao still wanted to resist, raised the hand that had just been wrapped to grab the bandage back, and said dryly: "I can do it myself."

"Why are you here?" Yuzuru was extremely angry and said angrily: "What can a seven or eight-year-old kid do? Think of us as vegetarians!"

"..."

At the end, Yuzuru deliberately increased the strength, but fortunately she knew the importance and did not really destroy Li Xiao's hand.The three people who completed the task sat down and began to discuss the next plan.In the end, the three of them agreed to rest on the spot for a night. To ensure their safety, Li Xiao continued to give the three unlucky ninjas medicine. When they woke up the next day, they had already left, but he still left them with a very conscientious attitude. Got water and food.

Although I was working hard, the first place belonged to someone else, and the second and third places were also taken by others first.After going around and around, they barely managed to get to the tenth place, and they were still tied for tenth with the three ninjas from Otogakure Village, which was really a big blow in their lives.

"Anyway, you all passed the exam and are qualified to participate in the next exam."

Konohamaru comforted him: "Everyone, the exam is not over yet. There will be team and individual competitions next. If you feel that your results this time did not meet your expectations, then let me see your results in the next exam." !”

"Hi--"

Their answers were protracted but weak, and they were obviously not encouraged.
