Konoha no Ninjutsu is a bit too much

"Ah."

Seeing the different Hinata, Shino couldn't help but laugh.

"In that case, let's go."

Everything he wanted to say has been said by Hinata. Since they both have the same mind, why waste time anymore.

"it is good."

Hinata, who was stunned for a moment, came to her senses immediately and nodded.

"But in which direction should we look?"

But when she was about to set off, she hesitated again.

"rest assured."

Shino gave her a reassuring smile.

"When the other two ninjas of Sunagakure left, I deliberately placed a female insect on the opponent's puppet master's puppet. As teammates, they should have a way to track Gaara. As long as we track them, we should You can find traces of the teeth.”

But just when Hinata's face brightened when she heard this, and she was about to speak, Shino's expression suddenly changed, and he raised a finger to his mouth, silently reminding her to be quiet.

Hinata became nervous instantly, squatted down and leaned against the edge of the tree hole, trying her best to hide her body.

However, when she opened her eyes and prepared to check out the invading enemies, the nervousness on her face was instantly replaced by surprise.

"It's teeth!"

She cheered and ran out of the tree hole.

Shino, who was startled by her sudden voice and movements, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her cheers, and then walked out of the tree hole with the same smile.

"Wow, are you here to greet us?"

Not far away, Kiba Inuzuka, who came after smelling the smell, looked at Hinata and Shino walking out one after another. He couldn't help but hug Xiaobai and asked with an exaggerated expression.

"Ya, are you okay?"

After the joy, Hinata couldn't help but feel worry again on her face, and she looked at Inuzuka Kiba's whole body slightly nervously.

"Haha, it's just Sunagakure. It can't even hurt a hair on my head."

Inuzuka Kiba laughed and boasted exaggeratedly, making Hinata dumbfounded.

"Inuzuka Tooth."

But Shino, who finally walked up to him, had a serious look on his face and called his full name in an extremely serious manner.

"This is the last time. No matter what the situation is in the future, you will never be allowed to abandon us and become a hero yourself."

"That's right!"

Hinata immediately put on a serious face and united with Shino.

"We are all ninjas of Konoha. We have already made up our minds to protect our companions and the village. We are unwilling and will no longer hide behind our companions!"

"Alright alright."

Seeing the two people who seemed to be fighting for their lives if they disagreed, Inuzuka Kiba had no choice but to raise his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"I promise that I will never abandon you and fight the enemy alone just for the sake of publicity."

"Ya, I know that you have no choice but to do this because we are too weak."

The expression on Hinata's face softened, and there was a little remorse and shame in her eyes.

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense. I never thought so."

Inuzuka Kiba looked at her, then at Shino, and quickly denied Sanren.

"I promise that I will work harder in the future to improve my strength, and I will never hold you and Class [-] back again."

But Hinata obviously didn't listen at all. She looked at him, clenched her fists, and her eyes ignited with a blazing fighting spirit.

"I..."

Inuzuka Kiba was moved and a little bit dumbfounded.

He never thought that the plan he specially made to drive away cats and choke snakes would actually make Hinata and Shino have such thoughts.

But for a moment he didn't know how to explain it.

"No more words, Ya,"

While he was still trying to think of how to explain, Shino on the side also reassured him.

"From now on, Hinata and I will work harder to become stronger. No matter what happens in the future, we must protect our companions more firmly!"

"Okay, whatever you say is what it is."

Inuzuka Kiba, who was already numb, covered his face helplessly. For the first time, he experienced the helplessness of his teammates who liked to attack themselves.

"When I came back, I robbed a team and got this Sky Scroll."

Putting these things behind him, he took out a scroll from his arms and got down to business.

"Now let's enter the tower and complete the assessment."

Although he guessed that Orochimaru should have left when a large number of Anbu entered the Death Forest.

But not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

To be on the safe side, it is better to leave the Death Forest as soon as possible.

Moreover, apart from Orochimaru, Gaara is still there.

He had previously mocked Laman in order to anger Gaara. With Gaara's dark character that has not yet been revealed by Naruto, if we meet Gaara again, it will be a life-or-death fight.

So it’s better to leave as soon as possible.

. . .

Outside the Death Forest, Anko, who had just been rescued by ANBU, stood with a depressed expression in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, who came after getting the news.

"He is here for Uchiha Sasuke this time."

Faced with Sarutobi Hiruzen's question, Anko replied in a low voice.

"You can be sure that he has completely completed that ninjutsu and planted it in Uchiha Sasuke."

She touched the curse mark that was still aching faintly through her clothes, and her expression became increasingly lonely.

For Orochimaru, her feelings are quite complicated.

In addition to her resentment towards Orochimaru for defecting because of her identity as a Konoha ninja, she may also have resentment towards Orochimaru for abandoning her.

Now that he saw Orochimaru being so attached to Sasuke, he felt even more inexplicable jealousy in his heart.

It's like watching a child whose parents, who were once the most beloved, suddenly no longer pay attention to themselves, but put more attention and love on their younger brothers/sisters.

When she faced Orochimaru, she looked like she was risking her life to die with Orochimaru, as if she was using extreme means to attract her parents' attention to her again.

It was precisely because of this that she was so disappointed when Orochimaru easily subdued her and dropped the warning.

It turns out that it was her fault all along?

"Hokage-sama, do you want to cancel this chuunin selection exam?"

The other ANBU who didn't understand the complicated thoughts in Anko's heart couldn't help but ask after hearing this.

"No."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head slightly, looking at the forest of death with deep helplessness in his eyes.

"This time the Chunin Examination held in conjunction with Sunagakure is different from the past. Daimyos, Kazekages, Daimyos from the Land of Wind, as well as Daimyos from other countries, and a large number of dignitaries will come to participate. The invitations have been sent out long ago. If it is announced that it is canceled now, Konoha will become the laughing stock of the entire ninja world, and the reputation that has been accumulated for many years will be greatly weakened."

As Hokage, he has to consider the safety of these candidates, but more importantly, he must consider the interests of Konoha as a whole.

"Let the Anbu continue to search for traces of Orochimaru, and at the same time organize more forces to guard the village, and don't leave Orochimaru a chance."
