Konoha: The New Will of Fire

"But this balance will not last long. As time goes by, teams without tokens will become more and more impatient. The battle will begin on the morning of the last day. All we have to do is wait for time and look for teammates at the same time."

Choji asked in confusion while eating potato chips: "Teammates? Where do we have teammates? Isn't this exam in a team format?"

"Although the exam is in the form of a small team, one of the rules says that small teams cannot form teams. What will follow will be an unprecedented melee. The more people we have, the stronger our strength will be, and the greater the success rate of victory."

"No matter what, someone must be able to stand on the final stage."

Speaking of these words, Shikamaru's mind echoed the last words his father told him last night, 'The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.' At this moment, he finally understood, but he would rather not understand.

Just near Shikamaru and the others, a Kirigakure team was rapidly approaching in the direction of Shikamaru and the others. The leader was Kiden Suigetsu.

The two teammates behind him said suspiciously: "Why is Shuiyue going here? Our mission is to find the token."

"Who told you that our mission is to find tokens?" Gui Deng Shuiyue glanced sideways at his companions behind him and asked.

The companion was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment. Isn't this an exam?Only when you get the token and reach the central area can you complete the exam.

Another female companion, Bai Bing, asked: "Then what is our mission?"

"Kill all the genin competing in Konoha!"

Gui Deng Shui Yue said in a deep voice, his tone extremely cold.

This was the order given to him by Master Mizukage last night. Passing the exam was not the primary purpose. Their purpose was to eliminate all Konoha contestants, kill all Konoha geniuses, and create a gap in Konoha's future.

Not only that, if all the geniuses in Konoha cannot pass the second test on Konoha's home court, or even appear in the arena, then the prestige and reputation accumulated by Konoha will disappear in an instant.

Ghost Light Suigetsu didn't know if Mizukage-sama and the others had other plans. Even if they did, it was not something he could know at his level. However, one thing was certain. Since Mizukage-sama issued such an order to him, the rest of the villages must have also That would be the case, that is to say, the genin of Konoha will face the pursuit of their four major ninja villages. Thinking of this, Kiden Suigetsu found it interesting.

Kiden Suigetsu's guess was correct. When he took action, Team Atsuyin from Cloud Hidden Village, Kankuro Team from Sand Hidden Village, Kurotsuchi Team from Iwagakure Village, and other teams also started taking action. The hunt for the Konoha team happened quietly in this forest.

However, these little devils who had just entered the forest did not know that a crisis was approaching everyone.

The screen came to Naruto's side.

The three of them did not go too far into the forest, and stopped at the edge of the forest. Zuosuke's IQ may not be as smart as Shikamaru, but his IQ is also higher than that of many people, at least much stronger than Naruto. He also quickly realized that the third The actual content of the second exam.

.... Zuosuke explained it to Naruto and Sakura. Sakura understood it, but Naruto didn't. Sakura explained it again, and Naruto seemed to understand.

In the end, Zuosuke and Sakura were helpless and could only tell Naruto that they only needed to follow together and no one could leave the team.

Naruto didn't pay too much attention to this. In his opinion, Zuosuke's IQ was no worse than his, and he had no problem listening to him. In comparison, Naruto was more curious.

"By the way, what is in this forest? It is called the Hell of Death by the Jonin, and no one is silent about this place."

"I don't know." Zuosuke looked up and looked around, thinking that this was just an ordinary forest: "Even among the Uchiha clan, when asked about this place, everyone didn't say anything, as if there was something scary here."

The three people who were looking around curiously did not notice that the shadows in the darkness were quietly lurking next to the three people and surrounding them little by little.

Sakura looked around and found nothing. It was just that the forest was much older than the ordinary forest, full of green, and thick vines hanging from the trunks could be seen everywhere.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, Sakura saw something on Naruto's back. She looked at it intently, and her face instantly turned pale as a sheet, and her orifice expanded, as if she had seen something terrifying.

"Naruto…"

Sakura was so frightened that her voice trembled. Both Naruto and Zuosuke noticed something was wrong with Sakura. When they looked down, they saw Sakura's face turning pale. Naruto asked worriedly: "Sakura, what's wrong with you? "

The keen Zuosuke discovered that Sakura was scared. The place where she was looking was exactly behind Naruto. Zuosuke immediately turned his head and looked behind Naruto. He was also startled and shouted quickly: "Naruto." People, be careful behind you!"

Hearing Zuosuke's reminder, Naruto didn't even think about it. His body was almost driven by instinct and he lowered his head. He only felt a strong wind whistling past his head, and his scalp hurt as if it had been scratched by a knife.

Naruto, who dodged the attack, immediately turned around and looked behind him without thinking, only to see several vines whizzing towards him. Everything happened so suddenly that Naruto was startled and had no time to dodge.

At this critical moment, Zuosuke jumped up from behind Naruto, raised his hand and shot three kunai. The sharp kunai cut off the vines accurately.

The broken vine fell on Naruto. Naruto picked up the vine and took a closer look to confirm that it was undoubtedly a vine: "What's going on with this vine?"

"Who knows, anyway, we are surrounded now."

After being reminded by Zuosuke, Naruto looked around and found that at some point, various vines were climbing on the surrounding trees. These vines looked like living snakes, and some were on the ground. Creeping, crawling on some tree trunks.

"The vines themselves will not attack. Who is controlling these vines?"

Sakura was analyzing very calmly at this moment. After that mission to the Land of Waves, Sakura had grown a lot. At least she would not be like before, she would just scream when in danger, her mind would go blank, and she would not know anything.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the vines attacked at the same time. With a sharp whistling sound, dozens of vines shot from all directions, like countless spears completely blocking the three people.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Naruto formed a seal with his hands, and quickly divided into dozens of clones and rushed out, each clone grabbing a vine.

"Fumo Shuriken. Shadow Windmill!"

Zuosuke shouted low and threw the huge shuriken in his hand with all his strength. The high-speed rotating shuriken drew a graceful arc in the air, cutting all the vines in half as it passed.

Zuosuke and Naruto cooperated tacitly and quickly cleared away all the vines. However, before the two of them could relax, the attack struck again. This time the attack was not on the vines, but on the surrounding big trees.

The ground trembled, and thick tree roots broke through the ground and flew out, rushing towards Naruto and the three of them. There were also attacks above their heads, and the big tree waved its branches and crashed down on the three of them.

Naruto immediately controlled the shadow clones to resist, but the roots and branches of these trees were extremely powerful and eliminated all of Naruto's shadow clones. Just when the three of them were about to be submerged by the sea of ​​trees, a low shout rang out.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
