Forest of Death, Survival Trial, Day 5.
Sasuke and Naruto were hiding in a tree less than one kilometer away from the central tower, quietly waiting for their prey.
"Rustle!"
Suddenly, a subtle sound was heard, and the six of them immediately became alert, but they didn't act immediately.
"Camouflage?"
After a moment, Shin and Sasai looked at each other, and a black and white bird landed at their feet, chirping, transmitting a message.
None of the teams that could reach here are simple, so it was necessary to do this.
"They are hiding …"
Shin murmured, looking at the five o 'clock direction, and said, "There!"
As his voice fell, Sasuke and Naruto stood up. The former opened and closed his eyes, activating his Sharingan.
Whoosh!
The two of them looked at each other and stomped their feet on the tree trunk. Their bodies shot out in a straight line.
However, Shin's message wasn't completely transmitted.
"Sasuke, Naruto, wait …"
When he got the last message, it was already too late, and Sasuke's trace had completely disappeared in front of him.
"Shin-senpai, what's wrong?" Qian You asked.
Shin said, "There are a few people in the five o 'clock direction, it's Shikamaru and the others …"
...
Naruto and Sasuke seemed to be competing with each other, and their speed was pushed to the extreme.
Finally, the two of them locked their eyes on three people in a triangular formation in front of them.
The two of them exchanged glances, and each of them locked onto a target.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
When they were about to reach the target, Naruto formed a seal with both hands, and a dozen shadow clones swarmed forward.
Almost at the same time, Sasuke was about to reach the target, and at this moment, he used his Sharingan to find an abnormality.
"Not good! It's a trap, retreat! "
Sasuke forcibly stopped and retreated.
However, Naruto had already rushed into the target's position, and couldn't retreat.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The moment he rushed in, there was an explosion, and flames soared into the sky.
Sasuke landed in the forest and looked around.
In the explosion, Naruto's figure also jumped out.
Such a trap was not enough to cause him any harm.
However, all of Naruto's clones had been annihilated by the explosion.
Just as the two of them steadied themselves, a shadow quickly extended from behind them from under the tree.
Sasuke, who has been on high alert and observing with Sharingan, discovered the shadow in time and directly jumped away.
However, Naruto's reaction was a little slow because of the previous incident. The shadow stretched under his feet, and he immediately lost control of his body.
"Meat tank!"
Just as Sasuke jumped away, from the left side of the forest, there was a high-speed rotating object, like a giant wheel rushing out of the forest.
This time, even he could not easily avoid it. He could only face it head-on.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, even if he has Sharingan, he didn't notice that on the other side, a girl appeared, and her hands were forming a strange seal.
"Mind Rotation …"
Just as Ino was about to launch her Ninjutsu, she saw the figure of the boy in front of her.
"Sasuke -kun?" Her hand movements paused for a moment.
Hearing her voice, Sasuke was also shocked and distracted.
"Mind Rotation Technique!"
Just as Choji's Meat Tank was about to hit Sasuke, Ino launched Ninjutsu and exchanged Will with him.
The aggressive offensive suddenly stopped in front of Sasuke.
Sasuke quickly jumped away. At this time, a shadow stretched out from under his feet again and bound his body.
He struggled a few times but found that the shadow tightly bound him, making him unable to move.
"Bang!"
At this time, he naturally judged the enemy he is facing and the tactics they are using.
Exploring, luring the enemy, blasting … such a chain of tactics, even with his and Naruto's strength, they were almost unable to react and were controlled.
If it were another team, I'm afraid they would only be defeated faster.
"Ino, what are you doing?" Choji stood up and muttered.
"I'm sorry, Choji."
Ino said: "It's Sasuke -kun, and … Naruto!?"
She was stunned, these two people are not members of the same team, why are they together?
Whoosh!
At this time, Qian You and others also followed.
"Everyone stop." Qian You saw Sasuke and Naruto were bound by the shadow and immediately said.
"Shikamaru."
She followed the direction of the shadow and found Shikamaru hiding in the tree.
Shikamaru was also observing them, frowning.
In the survival trial, all teams should be enemies.
But it seems that they have joined forces with each other?
"Don't worry, we won't do anything to you." Qian You added.
Shikamaru's eyes flickered, he probably knew the strength of Qian You and Shin. Sasuke and Naruto were among the best since the beginning of the Ninja Academy.
Even if he uses the shadow, it is unlikely to bind these two for too long.
There are still four people on the other side, Choji and Ino together are not their opponents.
So even if he doesn't believe Qian You's words, he doesn't have much chance of winning.
After weighing the pros and cons, he took back the shadow under his feet, and Naruto and Sasuke regained control of their bodies.
He was also a little curious, Naruto and Sasuke are obviously incompatible, but now they are working together.
"What kind of Ninjutsu is this, it's like someone is strangling me, I can't move at all." Naruto asked in surprise, this was the first time he saw Shikamaru's Ninjutsu.
Qian You smiled and said: "This is the secret Ninjutsu of the Nara Clan, using your shadow to bind the enemy."
"Amazing."
Naruto said, after knowing that the enemy is Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino, he lost all his fighting spirit.
"Yeah."
Qian You nodded and said: "Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino's families formed an alliance a long time ago, and the secret Ninjutsu passed down in their families from generation to generation can cooperate with each other."
"The world calls them the Ino-Shika-Cho combination, and Shikamaru's father is also a very powerful ninja."
"Ino-Shika-Cho?"
Naruto's eyes widened as he looked at Choji. "Then Choji must be a pig, hehe."
On the side, Qian You smiled and shook his head.
Hearing Naruto's words, Choji didn't get angry and just smiled.
Indeed, people who don't know the situation will naturally think that he is a "pig" when they hear the name Ino-Shika-Cho.
"Sasuke -kun."
Ino moved towards Sasuke, but was intercepted by Sakura halfway.
"Ino Boar, what do you want to do to Sasuke?" Sakura looked at Ino's eyes full of vigilance.
Ino was also the same, and said in a deep voice: "What does it have to do with you? You are talking as if Sasuke is yours! "
When they were in the ninja school, they were always like this.
The atmosphere gradually became relaxed. At this time, Sasuke glanced at Naruto and Qian You and said: "Is the chat over?"
Sasuke turned his gaze to Shikamaru and said indifferently: "Hand over the scrolls in your hands."
"Didn't I say before, don't do anything to Wood Leaf's companions!" Qian You and Naruto's expression changed and said.
"That's just your own words, I didn't promise you."
Sasuke said lightly: "Today is the last day of the trial, these three guys appeared here, they should have collected all the scrolls."
"I won't violate the previous agreement, but you should also know that the core rule of this exam is cannibalism."
"There's not much time left now, it's better to do it as soon as possible."
His expression became serious and locked on to Shikamaru and the others.
He did fall into Shikamaru's trap just now, but it won't be so easy now.
Qian You frowned slightly, she understood the meaning of Sasuke's words, he was thinking for them.
"Sasuke -kun …"
Ino's pupils shrank slightly as she stared at Sasuke.
At this time, Naruto stopped in front of Sasuke and said loudly: "Shikamaru and the others are companions, we can't do anything to companions."
"You are really a naive fool."
Sasuke spat and said: "Under this kind of exam mechanism, even the ninjas of the same village can't avoid killing each other."
"Although I really want to teach you a lesson in the following competition, if you insist on doing this, it has nothing to do with me if you are eliminated."
"As for teaching you a lesson, I can do it at another time." Sasuke said indifferently.
His words were sarcastic, which made Naruto extremely uncomfortable.
But Sasuke's words were indeed correct.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Qian You couldn't think of a better way to dissuade them.
It doesn't matter to her whether she passes the Chunin Exam or not.
But it means something different to her brother.
"Someone is coming!"
At this time, Shin suddenly said. He used the Superbeast Scroll to monitor the area within a few hundred meters.
"It's the Sand Ninja."
After confirming the identity of the target, Qian You's eyes suddenly brightened and looked at Sasuke.
"Sasuke -nei-san, our targets are coming, as long as you help us get the scrolls on them, we will complete the agreement."
"Onii-san, let's go!" Qian You looked at Naruto.
Naruto, who was gritting his teeth and looking at Sasuke, looked away and followed Shin's direction.
Sasuke glanced at Shikamaru and others, and then followed Naruto.
Sakura, of course, went directly with Sasuke, while Sasai nodded to Shikamaru and others and left.
"Shikamaru, what should we do now?" After the six people left, Choji looked at Shikamaru.
"It's troublesome."
Shikamaru glanced at Ino. The latter's mind was focused on following Sasuke.
"Ugh."
He sighed and said: "Let's follow and observe first."
Ino's eyes suddenly became bright, and rushed in the direction of Sasuke and others.
Whoosh!
Shikamaru and Choji followed.
...
In the forest, the battle broke out again.
With Shin's guidance, Naruto and Sasuke found the Sand Ninja team, and then the two of them rushed directly without saying a word.
Although the two of them have been at odds, they have an amazing tacit understanding with each other in battle.
Under the siege of the two of them, the Sand Ninja team of three looked embarrassed.
When Qian You and others arrived and joined the battle again, the other side could no longer resist.
In just two minutes, the battle came to an end.
Naruto took the scroll from the body of a Sand Ninja and excitedly said to Qian You, "It's the Scroll of Earth!"
Qian You and Shin also looked happy.
"You have finished what you promised us, you can go now."
When Naruto looked at Sasuke, his expression became uncomfortable again, and he curled his lips.
Sasuke didn't care, he glanced at the trunk behind him, and the figures of Shikamaru and others appeared again.
However, he has finished what he promised Qian You, and their team has collected all the scrolls, so there is no need to fight anyone.
"There is not much time left, since we have come here, let's go to the Central Tower together."
Qian You said to everyone with a smile, there is no competitive relationship between them for the time being.
What they have to do now is to safely reach the meeting place.
Shikamaru and others obviously meant this after they collected the Scroll of Earth and Heaven.
Sasuke looked at Naruto and said, "Sakura, Sasuke, let's go."
"Brother, let's go too."
Qian You understood that although Sasuke didn't verbally agree, the route he chose was the shortest route to the Central Tower.
They were definitely going to take this path next.
So, the group of nine people, only slightly staggered from each other, and set off towards the Central Tower in the center of the Forest of Death.
...
The rest of the journey was very smooth, because at this time, everyone has almost finished collecting the scrolls.
Therefore, they did not encounter any more obstacles, and the three teams entered the pagoda without a hitch.
They weren't the first to enter the tower.
Naruto and Qian You glanced around and found familiar figures.
"Woof Woof Woof …"
Akamaru barked a few times at the two. Kiba, Hinata, and Shino seemed to have arrived here a long time ago.
It's no wonder, Hinata's Byakugan, Kiba's sense of smell, and Shino's Insect Control.
The difficulty of the Survival Trial is greatly reduced for their team.
Kiba and the other two greeted them. At this time, Naruto and Qian You also noticed that there was an unfriendly gaze falling on them.
Gaara crossed his arms, and his gaze fell on them.
"They really passed the exam smoothly …" Sasuke muttered in his heart.
At this moment, another team entered the tower and handed over the Scroll of Earth and Heaven to the examiner.
Neji, Lee, and Tian Tian.
"They look about the same age, but they all passed …"
A Wood Leaf team that wasn't the same as Naruto's team saw Naruto and others entering the tower one after another with the Scroll of Earth and Heaven.
At the end of the exam, a total of eight teams collected the Scroll of Earth and Heaven and Earth and passed the first exam.
All of Naruto's classmates passed. In addition, there was Lee, who was one year older than them, and another team of Konoha Ninjas who were several years older than them.
The only people who passed the exam were My Love's team and another group of Sand Ninjas.
At this time, in front of the remaining twenty-four people, Mitarashi Anko, the examiner of the second exam, suddenly appeared.
She looked at Naruto and others in front of her and sighed.
"Although the number of people has been reduced by half, there are still so many people left …"
