In the huge forest, there are thick trees everywhere, the intertwined trunks and leaves almost completely block the sunlight, so it gives people a very gloomy feeling.
After entering the Forest of Death, Watergate and Shinna Kushina separated from the others, after all, in unfamiliar situations, anyone can be an enemy.
The two of them hid in a big tree with lush foliage, and at this moment, in front of them, there was a crushing battle.
A team of three Genin encountered a team of ninja academy students, about ten people in total.
Although they had a complete advantage in numbers, in just a few minutes, the Chakra Mark on the forehead and chest of the ten students were all eliminated.
This Chakra Mark was tattooed on the participants of the trial when they entered. The way to eliminate it is very simple, just shatter it with a physical attack, or erase it with Chakra.
Those who have their mark erased accidentally lose the qualification to participate in the trial, but even if they fail, they will not be allowed to go out of the Forest of Death, and they still have to survive in the wild for three days.
In this way, the village's leaders didn't just want to test the strength of this group of children.
It's better to say that in this way, they want to hone their will and make them grow quickly.
Most of the students who had their mark erased were angry, but regardless of strength and experience, they are not at the same level as the other party.
"What a bunch of weak brats." After the three Genins easily dealt with the ten people, they left behind such a sentence and left without saying a word.
When the three Genin completely left, Watergate took Shinna Kushina and left.
Now, there is no need for them to fight head-on. Among the nearly three hundred people, only ten people can pass this trial.
That is a waste of physical strength, and in this dangerous environment, any consumption may affect the success or failure.
Shinna Kushina doesn't like the feeling of hiding, but although she is not as thoughtful as Watergate, she also knows that she shouldn't fight meaningless battles.
But she still couldn't get used to the behavior of those genin who despise the ninja students.
The two continued to move forward in the forest. Noticing Shinna Kushina's unhappy expression, Watergate consoled her, "Alright, we'll have to fight them sooner or later. The most important thing now is to conserve as much energy as possible."
Watergate knew that this trial was like a great wave washing away the sand. Those who could survive in the end definitely had some ability, but in the end, there was only one spot.
At that time, every battle they had to fight would not be easy.
Shinna Kushina pursed her lips, but she absolutely believed everything that Watergate said.
Watergate smiled gently as his eyes scanned the surroundings. He realized that the Dark Ones who had been protecting Shinna Kushina did not follow them into the Forest of Death.
Does this mean that Sandaime-sama has completely handed over the job of protecting Shinna Kushina in the Forest of Death to him?
"I don't know how Mikoto is doing now," Shinna Kushina was a little worried about Mikoto who wasn't in the same group as her and Watergate.
After confirming that there was no potential danger around, Watergate replied, "I think Mikoto should be hiding somewhere in the Forest of Death. With her strength, we don't have to worry about being eliminated easily. I believe that in a day or two, when there are not many people left, we will meet again."
Mikoto's strength in the last battle with Uchiha Yan made him and Shinna Kushina realize that she is absolutely strong, not to mention that she has been trained since childhood, so she can deal with the current situation better than them.
Watergate wasn't worried at all that Mikoto would be eliminated.
"Un." Shinna Kushina nodded, and then said excitedly, "If we meet Uchiha Yan again, you can't stop me, he is our opponent!"
Listening to her, Watergate couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, Shinna Kushina has never forgotten this …
Also, as the "Blood Red Pepper", how can she easily forget and ignore her opponent?
Watergate also remembered the conversation he had with Uchiha Yan in the classroom a year ago, and if they meet again this time, he is afraid that Uchiha Yan will come for him.
The two of them moved forward and stopped in the forest, and they didn't encounter any trouble.
With their current strength, if they want to hide, no one will be able to detect them.
It was almost lunchtime, and Watergate picked some wild fruits from the forest.
Because they can't make a fire, it will expose their tracks, so now they can only eat this.
The wild fruits were bright red in color, and they were as big as a fist.
After walking for so long, Shinna Kushina was obviously a little hungry, and she was about to eat when Watergate stopped her.
"What's wrong?"
Shinna Kushina asked, and Watergate looked at her with a slight smile, then he picked up a wild fruit and took a bite.
"Wait."
Watergate said after swallowing it. He couldn't tell whether the wild fruit was poisonous or not, because Jiraiya -sensei said that there are many poisonous wild fruits in the Forest of Death.
After a while, he didn't feel any discomfort, then he looked at Shinna Kushina and said, "It's okay, eat."
Shinna Kushina was stunned for a moment, then she looked at Watergate with some ripples in her eyes.
"Watergate, thank you," Shinna Kushina said, then picked up a wild fruit and ate it.
The former smiled faintly. At this moment, he felt that he still had a lot of shortcomings. If he was knowledgeable enough, not only would he be able to distinguish whether wild fruits were poisonous, he would even know their taste in advance. He would not be like now, where he had to test every time before foraging.
Although Chakra can resist poison, this approach is a bit too risky.
But this is also something that can't be helped.
Whoosh.
When the two were about to finish eating, a strange wind suddenly blew from the side.
"It's Wind Release Ninjutsu!"
Watergate was keenly aware of the difference, this is not a natural wind, but the rapid flow of air caused by Wind Release Ninjutsu.
Whoosh!
Shinna Kushina also immediately became alert and jumped on the tree behind her.
The wind can blow here, which means that not too far away, there must be people fighting, and one of them is using Wind Release Ninjutsu.
Ninja school students are unlikely to know how to use Wind Release Ninjutsu, which means that at least one of them is a ninja.
Immediately, the two hid their bodies and approached the direction of the wind, and soon they approached an open space in the forest.
At the same time, a few extremely miserable figures entered their eyes.
Two of them turned out to be Watergate and Shinna Kushina's classmates.
"Takeno Nei … Chi Ban Yu?"
