Naruto: Blood Mist Escape

A few minutes later, the examiner Katsuda Takatake ran to the entrance of the village and finally stopped.

Several Genin behind him who had not stopped from beginning to end also stopped behind the examiner Katsuta Takatake and lay on the ground, all looking like they had reached their limit.

"Bubble ride? Haha, you really know how to use tricks."

The examiner Katsuda Takatake stopped at the entrance of the village, turned around and looked behind him. He noticed these Genin who were using ninjutsu, and made some comments but did not say anything like "eliminate them".

Wuxin reached the finish line, stood up from the top of Lizard Pill and jumped down. He made a seal with his hands and released the spiritual spell. A cloud of smoke filled the area around the invisible Lizard Pill and it disappeared.

Compared to others who were out of breath, Wuxin's face was slightly flushed and he was in good condition. Except for his clothes being soaked with sweat, there was no sign of fatigue.

"Examiner Katsuta Takatake will be waiting here for an hour. If I go back to pick up Shui Lian and Gui Deng Mai, there won't be enough time, so I'll have to leave them behind."

Wuxin thought to himself, it was a good thing that the Hidden Mist Village did not emphasize teamwork and that teams had to pass the test together. Otherwise, this assessment would have been really troublesome.

Because they don’t know the finish line, many people who have the ability to run to the finish line give up halfway and cannot persevere.

Even for Suiren and Mai Kizuna, if they knew the distance and the destination, they could rest and restore their chakra properly along the way and would not fail to reach the destination.

However, the previous examiner Katsuda Takatake explained the rules that the first 94 people would pass, which made many people think it was a race, a competition of running speed, and they all ran as hard as they could at the beginning.

Who could have guessed that the assessment would turn out to be not a sprint but a high-intensity marathon.

While people were not thinking about the causes and consequences of the exam, and the inherent challenges it contained, many people came to report one after another.

What caught Wuxin's attention was the girl in a blue dress and orange hair that he had noticed before.

Her look is a bit like Mei Terumi, but a younger version.

"Is it Mei Terumi? She reached the finish line just by physical strength?"

Wuxin glanced at the orange-haired girl and then looked away.

The examiner of the first round, Katsuda Takatake, is now on the sentry post, standing quietly with his hands folded across his chest, waiting for the candidates behind him.

On the running route, candidates arrived at the finish line to register one after another.

As a ninja, even if you fall behind, you can still track them to the end based on clues such as footsteps as long as you have the stamina and determination.

"Time is up, the first exam is over!"

The examiner Katsuda Takatake was standing on the sentry post, looking down from above and loudly announcing the end of the exam.

At the mountain stronghold, after hearing Katsuda Takatake's voice, more than a dozen ninjas wearing Kirigakure vests jumped down, two of them jumped over the line of examinees and shuttled to the back of the Genin team, separating the Genin who passed the exam from the ninjas who came later.

Katsuta Takatake's hair was wet. He glanced at the Genin present and smiled. It was a truly warm smile. He said loudly:

“Congratulations, you passed your first exam!

I didn’t expect that so many people would pass. It really surprised me.”

Katsuta Takatake spoke clearly, and after a brief pause, he formed a seal with his hands, smiled, and said loudly:

"Next, let's start the second exam. I wish you success."

boom!

Katsuta Takatake on the sentry post turned into smoke and disappeared.

"What's the next test?"

Wuxin looked at the disappearing Katsuta Takatake and guessed about the second exam.

There were more than a dozen Kirigakure ninjas wearing vest uniforms standing quietly on the field, looking at the mountain village and the nearby fog. It was obviously a stronghold of the Kirigakure Village.

"Students, assemble!"

A powerful voice was heard from the gate tower of the mountain stronghold.

When the Genin candidates present heard the words, they all walked towards the direction of the voice. When they were at the bottom of the city gate tower, they looked up at the city gate tower of the mountain stronghold.

The height of the stronghold's wall is about three meters, and there is a gate tower more than two meters high at the city gate.

Five ninjas with ninja swords on their backs were standing in front of the parapet on the city wall of the mountain village. The ninja in the middle had long orange hair tied in a braid, a burly figure and a big belly. Looking over, his entire body blocked the city gate tower behind him.

His height was somewhat outstanding, and the four ninjas beside him were only as tall as his chest. What was even more impressive was that he was carrying a door-sized, bandaged, knife-like object on his back.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm the examiner of the second exam, Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost, hehehehe"

After the burly ninja introduced his name and position, he let out an uncomfortable laugh and looked down at the scene.

"It's actually Master Fugu-ghost?"

"The Chunin Exams have something to do with the ANBU?"

There was a sudden buzz of discussion among the Genin team, and a murmur of voices could be heard.

Wuxin looked up at Xiguashan Puffer Demon and was a little surprised. Xiguashan Puffer Demon was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist Village and also the captain of the Hidden Mist Anbu.

Having reached such a high position of power as the captain of the Anbu, there is no need to hide one's identity anymore.

"I didn't expect that 65 people passed the first exam. Katsuta Takatake is really going to cause me trouble."

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost on the city gate tower had a smile on his face, revealing his sharp triangular teeth like a shark. He continued with a creepy smile on his face:

“The second exam subject is a bit difficult. Even for the Anbu, the casualty rate in this subject is still over 80%.

65 Genin? After this, the third match might not be that troublesome, hehehe..."

The smile on the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost's face was intimidating, and his laughter was even more sinister. After a slight pause, he continued indifferently:

"As the captain of the Anbu, I tell you responsibly that the only outcome for losers is death...

However, the village is currently short of ninja power, and the Third Mizukage does not want too many deaths.

So, I'll give you a chance... You can give up this exam where 80% of the Anbu casualties occurred, and sign up again next year.

Hehehe, in the exam that I, the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost, preside over, there is no such thing as failing. There are only two outcomes: passing and death.

Now, I'll give you five minutes to think about it."

The smile of the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost became more and more creepy and perverted, and its indifference to death frightened everyone present.

After Xiguashan Puffer Ghost finished speaking, his smile disappeared, his face became stern and expressionless, and he quietly waited for the decision of the candidates present.

The Genin in front of the mountain village wall were whispering in groups of three or four, and from time to time they stole glances at the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost on the city gate tower.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes.

"I give up!"

"I abstain!"

"I give up too!"

After four minutes, many candidates raised their hands to indicate that they wanted to give up.

The words of the Anbu captain, Xiguashan Fuguki, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, are undoubtedly true. He said that the Anbu casualty rate was over 80%, which could not be false.

Wuxin crossed his arms, glanced at the Genin who had given up, and thought to himself:

"These idiots, the casualty rate is over 80%, not the mortality rate is over 80%. Isn't it normal for a ninja to get injured?"

Although Wuxin's impression of the anime in this world has gradually become blurred, he still has a deep impression of the psychological oppression and lies in the Chunin Exam.
