Naruto Orochimaru: I must win this time

Blizzard Plains, as the name suggests, is a plain covered with ice and snow all year round.

But it does not mean that there are no living creatures here. Ferocious beasts that are three or five people tall are common, and they will not hibernate just because the environment is cold.

In addition, the huge trees that five or six people cannot hug together and the dense weeds are all potential dangers.

These are just secondary. These alone cannot achieve the purpose of the assessment. There will be more exciting things to come!

"Would it be too harsh to assess them here?"

Hongdou said worriedly as she looked down at the snowy forest below, and Honglian beside her also frowned.

"Tsk... just rest assured! You guys have been in the ninja school for years and you don't know what happens to them after graduation!"

The only person who is still heartless at this time is probably Deidara.

After hearing what Deidara said, the two girls didn't pay attention to the teasing in his words, but looked at him with confusion.

"After graduation? Isn't that an internship at the Security Department?"

Looking at the performance of these two people, Deidara knew that they knew nothing at all, so he stopped keeping them in suspense.

"We officers need to be assessed every two or three months, and these graduated Genin are no exception. This stage is the golden period for their strength to soar..."

As Deidara continued to tell the story, the two women also learned the details of the situation.

After graduation, the Genin will be assigned to the guard department or go to various places in the Kingdom of Gold to perform missions, but after one year, they will come back for an assessment.

And this continued every year until they were promoted to Chunin.

The locations where they were assessed included the blizzard glacier, the ice-free mountains, the Tibetan Plateau and the red rock land.

Each of these places is a dangerous place. Some people go there almost every year and have become accustomed to it.

Of course, this kind of assessment is only for freshmen who have just graduated from the Ninja School and it only lasts for three years.

If after three years of trials, you have not yet been promoted to Chunin, there is no need to continue the assessment.

"Oh... if you hadn't told us, we really wouldn't have known. There are so many ninjas graduating every year. Do we have to check on them all?"

"That's right! We are all assigned jobs after graduation, so there's no way we can be so lenient..."

Anko and Guren complained in unison, causing them to worry for nothing.

"It seems that we underestimated them..."

While a few people were chatting, the ninjas below were already ready.

"Hey, Deidara, it's time to start!"

Mangetsu Hozuki made a hand signal to Deidara in mid-air, which made the two women look at each other in surprise again.

They thought that they were asked to keep an eye on the trial ninjas below, but the next moment the big bird they were sitting on suddenly rushed forward.

"Hey...Deidara, what are you doing?"

Both of them were caught off guard by the sudden acceleration. Deidara ignored their exclamations and instead came to a circular platform deep in the ice field with exclamations.

“Heh…what a hassle!”

As he spoke, Deidara controlled the big bird to stop. Under the puzzled gazes of the two, Deidara placed a fist-sized ball into the groove in the center of the platform, made a few hand seals with his hands, and then slapped the ground.

"Seal, release!"

As the handprint fell, bursts of light rose up around it, and the next moment the pattern on the circular platform slowly rotated.

Under the astonished gazes of Hongdou and Honglian, the tall snow piles near the platform began to tremble.

Soon, dozens or even hundreds of stone men, seven or eight meters tall, holding swords and with green eyes, slowly walked out.

It turned out that among those uneven snow piles were stone puppets, or to be more precise, sealed puppets.

"This, this, this... why are there so many, what are these things?"

Hongdou was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, and Honglian next to her was not much better.

"Hehe, you are surprised by what you have seen before! These so-called undead legions from the north have very poor combat effectiveness, but they are more than enough for the assessment!"

The stone puppets walked in groups of three or five towards the direction where the few people came from. Although their movements were clumsy, every step they took caused a small-scale vibration.

Many wild animals were alarmed and ran around in panic, but most of them were driven in the same direction.

"The Undead Army? Are they like those mechanical puppets in the village?"

"You mean...!"

Honglian was the first to react. The drills, excavators and other equipment in the village were puppets driven by the power of dragon veins.

These stone men in front of them are somewhat similar. Both of them have followed Orochimaru for a long time and know a lot of things.

At the beginning, Orochimaru not only dug back the dragon vein, but also dug back the monsters from the Demon Country. Could it be that the thing in front of him is the product of the latter?

The two guessed correctly. This undead army was made of puppets using the power of monsters. The ball that Deidara had previously placed on the platform was the power of monsters.

Moreover, there are more puppets here than the ones in front of us, but the monster power brought by Deidara is only enough to destroy so many puppets.

"It looks quite intimidating. I wonder if those little guys can handle it..."

After seeing the white light at the end of the field of vision, Mangetsu Kizuna announced the start of the assessment.

The team consists of three people, and those who can successfully reach the platform will pass the assessment.

Of course, the assessment cannot be that simple. Each ninja must deal with at least three stone puppets, which means a team has nine.

Coupled with the ferocious beasts that were driven over, it would be impossible to pass through smoothly without some hard power.

This assessment trains the courage, cooperation, and adaptability of these ninjas.

"Xiao Fu, Karin, let's go!"

After Kidomaru finished speaking, he rushed forward first. Toss next to him was not willing to be left behind, so he called out to Kintsuchi, and Jirobo followed closely behind.

"What an impatient person!"

"Being fast doesn't necessarily work, you have to use your brain, pretty boy!"

At this time, Zuo Jin and You Jin did not forget to mock, as if to say that other people's brains were not as good as theirs.

After all, he is a conjoined twin and has an extra head compared to others. Instead of feeling inferior, he feels very good.

"Let's go, Tayuya, Hydrangea!"

As he said this, he took the lead in the charge, and the rest of the teams followed one by one after seeing someone taking the lead.

Some people are afraid of the unknown, while others plan to wait and see. Those who can get here have some extraordinary qualities, and at the very least, they are not too stupid.

"Hey... they all seem to be warmongers, and we are the only ones who are here to join in the fun..."

Fenghua Xiaoxue looked at the figures in the snow ahead. In this weather, it seemed as if hot blood was flowing in the bodies of these young men, but they didn't take it seriously at all.

"Who said it wasn't true? I originally thought I had worked hard enough, but now it seems that my vision is too narrow..."

Longshe, who was in the same team with her, was also in a low mood. It was already good enough for him to get here with his talent. What the North lacked the least was geniuses, but not everyone could stand out.

"Alright, alright! Cheer up, no matter what, we can't be the last one, otherwise I, a princess of the former dynasty, won't be able to hold my head up for three years..."

"Haha... Then you come and attack me later..."

"I………"
