A few days later, in the tower in the center of the dead forest.
A group of ninjas who successfully passed the exam gathered together.
Compared with more than 20 people who were eliminated in the first test, more than 50 people were eliminated in this test, and only 21 people came here in the end!
After all kinds of fighting and fighting, the twenty-one people standing in the tower at this time, each of them has a layer of determination on their faces, and their energy is far higher than before.
Especially Naruto and Sasuke.
After Naruto's five-element seal was unlocked, he was able to stably call the Nine-Tails Chakra and summon nearly a thousand shadow clones.
As for Sasuke, after being planted by Orochimaru with the Heaven's Curse Seal, after experiencing the initial period of torture, he gradually got used to this curse seal, and occasionally broke out, his combat power can also soar a lot!
Sakura stood behind Naruto and Sasuke, her long pink hair had been cut into short hair, she looked heroic, but there was a bit of hesitation in her eyes.
After the identity of "Shui Duo" was "debunked" by Orochimaru, Sasuke asked Sakura to hide from Naruto what happened after he fainted, in the name of not distracting Naruto.
But Sakura always felt that there was a deeper reason for it.
At this time, Hiruzaru Sarutobi walked in with a group of mentors and zhongnin examiners.
The 21 people who passed the second test, in groups of three, have a total of seven guiding jonin, among which there are five guiding jonin belonging to Konoha, including Kakashi, Kai, Kureni Yuhi, and Asuma Sarutobi Wait, one of them is Maji from Sand Hidden Village, and the remaining group is Otonin Village, who guides Jonin, of course, in disguise... Orochimaru!
That's right, Orochimaru, who had just made a big fuss in the death forest, attracted Anbu to hunt him down and left quietly, now appeared here again openly.
Such an arrogant behavior was obviously beyond the imagination of Hiruzaru Sarutobi and others. Therefore, the powerful people in Konoha did not notice the true identity of this handsome Otonin guide Jonnin.
Of course, there is one exception, no, not a person, but a dog.
"Akamaru looks weird..."
Kuroyuki stood behind Hiruzaru Sarutobi, looking at the shivering white puppy in Inuzuka Ya's arms calmly.
Then her eyes fell on Naruto, and then she was distracted.
The tone ninja instructor who turned into Oshemaru glanced at her, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
This sneer just happened to fall into the eyes of the pharmacist who passed the exam, and he was shocked: "This smile...is Master Dashewan!" '
Yakushito looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and secretly praised: As expected of Oshemaru-sama, he appeared in front of Hokage like this.
‘Since Oshemaru-sama appears here, then I, a spy who collects intelligence, is unnecessary. '
Pharmacist showed a proper helpless smile, and raised his hand to express that he would withdraw from the next Chunin exam because he suffered... internal injuries in the previous battle.
Well, above board and impeccable reasons.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi immediately agreed to his request.
Then, the last qualifiers began.
The rules are very simple. Two people are randomly selected to face off, whether they know each other or not, even if they are members of the same group, the winner must be determined. The winner will enter the final selection competition, and the loser will be eliminated.
Simple and rude, without emotion.
Many people looked at each other in blank dismay, some couldn't accept it, but since the rules are set, it is impossible to change them.
And the first battle was between the two pillars and one person from Yinnin Village.
A few years ago, Fenghuo slaughtered all the ninjas in Yinnin Village, but after that, Orochimaru once again cultivated a group of ninjas, but purely in terms of strength, they could not compete with the first batch.
However, Orochimaru has some means to increase the combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
Of course, these methods have huge sequelae, and will even affect future growth, but these Otonin are just pawns in Orochimaru's hands, whether they are scrapped or dead, Orochimaru doesn't care.
At the beginning of the battle, Erzhuzi pressed Yinnin to fight, but after a while, that Yinnin stimulated his own potential, and in turn beat Erzhuzi violently. Erzhuzi was beaten so badly that when he got angry, the curse of the sky on the back of his neck It erupted suddenly, and a tyrannical chakra poured into his body instantly.
Feeling this powerful force, Er Zhuzi was filled with longing and fear in his heart. He had a hunch that if this continued, he might be completely controlled by this force!
So, it must be stopped!
Suddenly, a voice came from the side.
"Hey, Sasuke, what are you doing, why are you in a daze!"
The one who yelled was Naruto standing by the pole on the second floor and watching the battle.
Seeing Naruto's expression of hating iron but not steel, Er Zhuzi became angry for a while!
Then he thought about what happened a few days ago again, and his heart suddenly became unbalanced.
‘Why does Naruto have that person guarding him, but I don’t have anything? '
When jealousy broke out, Er Zhuzi ignored him and relaxed his mind at that moment, allowing the powerful force brought by the curse seal of the sky to corrode his body!
As the chakra flowed all over his body, Erzhuzi's skin surface also showed black flame-like prints!
"what is that?"
"Is it a curse mark?"
"There seems to be a strange chakra fluctuation."
"It's a little ominous."
The guide jonin who watched the battle nearby frowned.
Mitarai Hongdou couldn't help reaching out to touch his neck, his face was very stinky:'That bastard, he didn't even let the children go, **** it! '
At this time, Sakura's face was even more pale and bloodless.
"Sakura, you seem to know something." Kakashi came to her side at some point and asked, "How did the things on Sasuke get here?"
On the battlefield, Erzhuzi, whose strength has skyrocketed due to the increase in the curse seal of the sky, has already rubbed Otonin on the ground. The ferocious and evil appearance made Sakura unable to help but worry.
"Kakashi-sensei, I, I..."
Although Erzhuzi asked her to keep it secret, seeing Erzhuzi's appearance now, Sakura still felt that she should tell Kakashi about this matter, so she told about Orochimaru's fight with themIt turns out In this way, this curse mark was actually left by Orochimaru. "Although Kakashi was wearing a mask, he couldn't see his face clearly, but his exposed right eye was unbelievably dignified.
This S-level rebel suddenly came to Konoha, could it be for Sasuke?
Sharingan?
"Mr. Kakashi, besides Orochimaru, there was another person present at that time." Sakura glanced at Naruto next to him who was yelling because of Erzhuzi's supernatural power, and couldn't help but hesitated again.
Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is it related to Naruto?"
Sakura nodded.
Kakashi lifted his eyelids and guessed it instantly.
After all, that person had appeared in front of them before.
'You actually appeared in the Forest of Death at the same time as Orochimaru...Fenghuo, what are you thinking? '
