In the dark forest, there was a deep silence.
Tall bushes and jungles were everywhere, even in the afternoon, most of the sunlight was still blocked.
The three members of the 7th Class-7 walked in the dark forest, maintaining the vigilance of a ninja.
Sasuke and Hinata looked around from time to time, using the insight of the Sharingan and the detection of the Byakugan to explore the surroundings.
This forest doesn't give them a very good feeling, especially after they know who is in this forest, they always feel that there is a pair of eyes staring at them.
"Someone is ambushing us." At this moment, Hinata suddenly said: "Look, it should be Takigakure Village, there is only one team."
"Oh?" Naruto's eyes lit up slightly: "Can you see what scroll they are using?"
"Sorry, Naruto-kun, I can't see it." Hinata shook her head: "It should be some kind of restriction, I can't see it."
"It doesn't matter, let's get rid of them first." Sasuke said directly: "It's a good chance to try it out, since graduation, we have learned so many things from Kakashi -sensei, but we have never had a chance to practice. I don't intend to miss this opportunity. "
Sasuke's words made Naruto curl his lips, but he agreed with it.
Since graduation, they have been exercising and training for so long, but the problem is that they really haven't taken on any higher tasks.
For them, fighting is almost like actual combat, and the intensity of such combat is really not enough for them.
The most important point is that they don't dare to be ruthless at all, and they can hardly use their full strength.
Now in this exam, almost all of them are enemies, not only are these enemies not from their own village, but they also want to kill them.
Such a situation is really an excellent opportunity for them.
But they also know that even if they don't think that these guys are really stronger than them, they still have to fight seriously.
However, they also had to fight seriously. If they were careless and ended up in this forest forever, it would be too terrible.
What's more, the enemy they are facing is from Takigakure Village!
Takanobi Village is also a very special village in the Shinobi world, the reason is very simple, they are the only village with tailed beasts other than the five great countries, which proves their strength.
According to some extremely unreliable rumors, some people say that Takigunin Village was founded earlier than Wood Leaf, and they are the first Shinobi Village in the truest sense.
However, this matter had yet to be verified.
However, no matter what, this village still has some strength, otherwise, it wouldn't have given birth to someone like Kakuzu.
"I'll deal with them." At this moment, Sasuke suddenly said, "Help me look around, be careful of the other teams, and support me at any time."
"Wait? Why is it you? " Naruto said discontentedly, "I'm going to deal with them. You two guys with Pupil Techniques should be responsible for support, right?"
"Are you guys done arguing?" Hinata furrowed her brows. "They seem to know that we've discovered them. They're already coming towards us."
"Then one for each of us," Sasuke said unhappily. "It's all your fault. Why did you shout so loudly?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke rushed forward. Another kunai appeared in his hand, and the twin tomahawks in his eyes were cold and merciless.
He doesn't intend to give up such an opportunity. Although he said one for each of them, but if he kills one first and then looks for another enemy, it wouldn't be strange no matter how you look at it.
"You're courting death!" The three Takigunin couldn't help but sneer when they saw Sasuke directly rushing towards them.
One of them directly printed a hand seal, obviously intending to kill this kid directly: "Water Release: Water Chaos Wave!"
From this guy's mouth, a waterfall-like water was sprayed out, and then rushed towards Sasuke.
Sasuke's face was expressionless, but his Sharingan slightly rotated. In the face of such a wave, he didn't have the slightest intention of dodging.
His body instantly accelerated, and almost like a phantom, he crossed the water wave.
A trace of surprise appeared on this Takigunin's face, but at this moment, Sasuke's figure was already in front of him.
His left hand fiercely pulled out the sword that was glowing with a cold light, and a strong blade slashed towards this Takigunin.
"Sharingan? Uchiha? "
These Takigunin obviously recognized that pair of eyes, which made them a little nervous in an instant.
Things like Sharingan are really not a joke, especially Uchiha's reputation in the Shinobi World is still very big.
At this time, they are facing a descendant of Uchiha, so they really feel some pressure.
But they also know that now is not the time to think about these things, thinking about these things will only harm themselves.
As long as these guys are killed, there won't be any problems!
"I'll deal with him, you guys deal with his two teammates." A Takigunin quickly pulled out his kunai, and then fiercely blocked Sasuke's sword: "Damn guy, damn Uchiha!"
Sasuke didn't pay any attention to him, he didn't have too much emotion when he didn't directly kill the target.
He didn't have much contact with Swordsmanship, it was only after the end of the class division that he took the initiative to propose to his father that he wanted to learn Swordsmanship.
Uchiha Tomiyama was a little surprised, but he didn't refuse him.
It's just that to Sasuke's surprise, he found that he seems to be very talented in this area.
But after all, he hasn't learned Swordsmanship for a long time, so he can't use it so smoothly.
But Sasuke is after all Uchiha, and the Sharingan is his best weapon.
In just an instant, he saw through the intentions of this Takigunin in front of him, and he can even see what he is going to do next.
The sword in his hand gently drew a semicircle, and this Takigunin's sword was cut open by Sasuke, and then Sasuke flashed towards this Takigunin.
His eyes stared at this Takigunin, and Chakra quickly converged in his eyes.
"Ah!"
This Takigunin only felt that his brain was in a trance, and his whole body seemed to be sluggish.
Then he felt a great pain coming from his chest, he slowly looked down and saw that a sword has been stabbed into his chest!
Blood slowly dripped along the blade from the front and back, he already felt extremely weak, he can't even raise his hand and stab this guy's heart!
"Don't worry, you won't die." Sasuke looked at the guy in front of him indifferently, his voice was abnormally cold: "Although my sword pierced through your body, it didn't pierce any vital parts, hand over the scroll, and I will let you go."
"Hehe, do you think …" Takigunin slightly opened his mouth, and a mouthful of blood flowed out, but he still continued: "Can I live in this state? Are you Wood Leaf people so hypocritical? "
"It's none of my business whether you live or not, at least I didn't kill you." Sasuke's expression is still indifferent: "Hand over the scroll, and you won't have any chance."
Indeed, there was no chance. While Sasuke quickly dealt with this guy, Naruto and Hinata also dealt with their opponents.
It has to be said that the three of them really have a crushing advantage, none of these three Takigunin are their opponent at all!
…
Killing this team of Takigunin can only be regarded as a calm matter for Sasuke and the others.
It's just that Sasuke is a bit ruthless, this scene made Naruto can't help but frown.
The Forest of Death is now the real Forest of Death, not only there are all kinds of unknown berserk beasts, but also a large group of ninjas who are ready to kill in order to pass the assessment.
Sasuke's sword pierced through that guy, it's obvious that he won't be able to go far.
It's not that he will die here, Sasuke still has a sense of propriety, and with the help of the Sharingan, he accurately avoided the vital parts.
As long as he is treated in time, there will be no problem!
However, the key point was that they had suffered such injuries in such an environment. It was basically a foregone conclusion for them.
As Takigunin himself said, he really can't live in this state.
He won't die under Sasuke's sword, nor will he die from excessive blood loss, but he will die in this bloody environment of the Forest of Death.
But Naruto didn't say much, ninjas are like this, they are tools for killing.
His father's hands are full of blood, and his mother is the same.
In addition, Kakashi, who is already his Sensei, Kei Uchiha, Aya Hyuga, and Kenta Imai, whose hands are not full of blood?
The peace of their generation was all achieved through the hard work of their fathers.
The world of ninjas is so cruel, whoever has the slightest hesitation may die, this is the eternal truth of the ninja world.
As for their luck, this Takigunin Squad's scroll is just what they need.
Strictly speaking, their Squad has completed the task, and the next step is purely up to them.
They can choose to intercept more teams to clear the obstacles, and they can also collect some scrolls for the people of the same village, so as to give them some convenience.
Similarly, they can also choose to directly enter the tower, so they can still get the first place.
Along the way, this Squad seemed to be a little silent, this silence surprised Hinata.
Hinata really likes quiet environment, but this silence seems to be a little beyond her expectations. In her opinion, these two guys are the most normal quarreling.
But now, it's unimaginably quiet, the situation doesn't seem to be right.
Hinata doesn't know what happened to these two people, why did they become like this?
But after thinking about it, she feels that it is likely caused by what Sasuke did just now.
Hinata doesn't think that there is any problem with what Sasuke did, but even if there is no problem, such a method seems to be quite shocking.
To be honest, Hinata feels that she can't stand it, although it seems that they are left to fend for themselves, but in essence, this is killing them.
But in essence, this was killing them. In fact, it was even worse than killing them directly.
It is like giving a person a little hope, but this hope is indeed infinite darkness behind it.
But even if there is a knot in their hearts, they don't blame or say anything, because everyone knows that this is inevitable.
After all, people are always contradictory, no matter who does such a thing for the first time, even if they don't do it themselves, they will remember everything in their hearts.
Sighing slightly, Hinata feels that it is better to keep quiet.
Because it is useless to say anything now, not to mention that she doesn't know what to say.
"Sasuke …" At this moment, Naruto suddenly said: "Why do you think there are so many wars in the Shinobi World?"
"Now there is a truce, at least for now." Sasuke glanced at Naruto, he didn't think too much and calmly replied: "This is the result of the hard work of our fathers. Of course, if you insist on asking why there are wars, I can only borrow a sentence from Lord Kai."
"Lord Kai's words?" As soon as Sasuke's voice fell, Hinata and Naruto's eyes suddenly lit up.
For them, Kei Uchiha is really a great legend, and his words are always so thought-provoking.
Naruto's favorite sentence is "A great ninja is not strong, but a person who can carry the will of his teammates and move forward alone."
Of course, if Naruto understood this, he might not believe it, but this doesn't prevent him from liking it.
Hinata is almost the same, but she is more interested in Kei Uchiha because he is her sensei's boyfriend, and she is also very curious about this person who attracted her sensei.
"In fact, this sentence was said many years ago, probably before we were born, Lord Kai said it to my brother." Sasuke continued calmly: "Lord Kai said that war is never dominated by hatred …"
"What?" Without waiting for Sasuke to finish, Naruto shouted in disbelief: "Did you say something wrong? How could Lord Kai say that? I heard a lot of people say that they hate that village because they attacked us, and … "
"But have you ever thought about why?" Sasuke directly interrupted Naruto: "I understand, Lord Kai's words are very impactful, my brother was also incredible, but later Lord Kai said to my brother: 'War is nothing more than a continuation of politics through another means.'"
"Continuation of politics?" Naruto frowned when he heard this sentence, he didn't understand what this sentence meant.
"Well, actually, I don't quite understand.
My brother asked me a question, for example, the Wind Land, their sky is full of yellow sand, there is no suitable place for farming.
On the other hand, Wood Leaf has a good climate and fertile soil, it can be said to be rich, there is no shortage of food and other things.
So for the Wind Land to invade Wood Leaf for their own village is the best thing for them.
But to us, it's unacceptable. "
Sasuke's tone was still flat: "Hatred is only caused by their invasion, it can also be regarded as an excuse for war, it is not the main cause."
When Naruto heard this, he couldn't help but be silent.
He didn't know how to answer, because this kind of question is too realistic, it is too difficult to accept.
He clenched his hands, no one knew what he was thinking, after a long time, he raised his head and looked straight at Sasuke.
"So, how do you think we can make the world peaceful?" Naruto asked firmly.
"War." Sasuke stopped, he turned his head and stared at Naruto: "Through war, unify all the villages, this is the way to make the world peaceful!"
"Nonsense!"
Naruto's voice became louder: "Haven't you ever thought that war will only cause more people to die, accumulating more hatred?
Why can't people communicate with each other and obtain peace through communication?
What they need can be obtained through communication, isn't it?
River Land, Tea Land, isn't this the case now? "
"That's what you think." Sasuke shook his head: "In fact, it is meaningless for us to say this, because we can't decide anything."
After saying this, Sasuke was silent, Naruto was also silent.
It's just that they didn't know that at this moment, a strange power was bursting out from their bodies …
…
Late at night, in a hidden forest in Konoha, Onoki and Dedale were quietly waiting for Kuroto.
Dedale couldn't figure out what was going on, why was he brought to this damned place in the middle of the night.
Dedale was still staying in the Rock Village, all of this was related to Kei Uchiha.
Since Loess was destroyed by him, Onoki had to find a better person to take over his position.
Under such circumstances, Dedale was valued even more by Onoki.
Because this kid was really a genius.
Although Onoki would sometimes fly into a rage because of his personality, Onoki didn't care about him at all.
He even wanted to throw him out of the village more than once to prevent him from causing immeasurable casualties to civilians and other ninjas.
But after thinking about it, Onoki finally decided to teach him well, thoroughly releasing this guy's talent and trying to suppress his troublesome personality.
But after trying for a few years, Onoki found that instead of suppressing him, it was better to guide him.
Therefore, he made an agreement with Dedale. That is, as long as Dedale performed well and completed his training and learning plan, he would take a few days out of the village every month.
Therefore, Onoki made an agreement with Dedale. That is, as long as Dedale performed well and completed his training and learning plan, he would take a few days out of the village every month.
Such an agreement gave Onoki an unexpected result. That is, Dedale's performance was getting better and better. His talent seemed to have been thoroughly stimulated.
In such a situation, it was impossible for him to be abducted by the Akatsuki outside the village.
Naturally, the current Akatsuki wasn't interested in Dedale.
At present, the Akatsuki's leader was essentially a Minotaur. The members of the Akatsuki were basically complete, and those who weren't part of the Akatsuki were very obedient.
Under such circumstances, he wasn't interested in recruiting a guy from the Rock Village.
He didn't forget that his cave was destroyed by the Rock Village and he was buried there.
Therefore, Dedale stayed in the Rock Village and didn't have any intention of rebelling.
"Old man, what are we waiting for here?" Probably because he waited for too long, Dedale couldn't stand it anymore: "It's so late, why didn't anyone come?"
"Soon, don't worry." Onoki shook his head: "Dedale, you have to change your character. Being so anxious is definitely not a good thing. "
"Tch, if you don't say anything, how would I know what we are going to do?" Dedale's mouth twitched, but after seeing Onoki's glare, he immediately became well-behaved. "I know, I know, I'll shut up and wait."
Onoki's prestige was still very heavy, Dedale didn't dare to challenge this old man.
At this time, Dedale suddenly felt something and immediately turned his head to look.
Because he didn't know when, but two figures suddenly appeared beside them without the slightest movement. If it wasn't for the escaping Chakra, Dedale wouldn't have noticed them.
"You …" Dedale looked a little vigilant, but after seeing who it was, he immediately became confused: "Yondaime Hokage? And … Kei Uchiha? "
That's right, the two who suddenly appeared near Onoki and Dedale were Kei Uchiha and Po Shui Mun!
In fact, both of them were somewhat inexplicable because they didn't understand why Onoki was looking for them.
They were brought here because Onoki was looking for them, and this guy's method wasn't strange at all. He relied on the Rock Anbu in Wood Leaf Village to deliver a letter to the two of them.
After Po Shui Mun noticed this matter, he didn't immediately deal with the Anbu.
After all, this kind of matter can be regarded as a semi-public matter, so there was no meaning in dealing with it.
He was a bit curious as to why this old man was looking for him.
Therefore, Po Shui Mun directly went to Kei Uchiha's house. In any case, Kushina went to look for Xiang Lin's mother and wasn't at home.
What he didn't expect was that Kei Uchiha was also found by Onoki.
"Tsushikage-sama, are you looking for us?" Po Shui Mun didn't pay attention to Dedale and went straight to the point: "Meeting at this time, what's the matter?"
"Actually, I came to find you this time to confirm something." Onoki looked at Po Shui Mun and Kei Uchiha: "I also want to raise something."
Looking at their young faces, especially Kei Uchiha, Onoki couldn't help but sigh.
If he didn't have any other choice, he wouldn't have come here.
But since he had already made a decision, Onoki would persevere and try his best to complete it.
Perhaps the people of Rock Village always had a stone in their hearts. This was their inner quality, perseverance, stubbornness, but also unwavering.
"Tsushikage-sama, if you have something to say, just say it." Kei Uchiha calmly looked at Onoki. This was the first time he faced this old man face to face.
Although he fought with Rock Village for many years, he was just a small fish at that time. The strongest person he faced was still Loess.
And the most unfortunate thing was that he was in a bad state at that time and was beaten like a dog by that guy.
Although he later took revenge, Kei Uchiha has always been a vengeful person.
"I don't dare to call you 'Sama'." Onoki shook his head and sighed: "Whether it is your strength or your identity as Hokage, I can't afford to call you 'Sama'."
"Tsushikage-sama, if you have something to say, just say it." Po Shui Mun frowned: "What do you want to confirm, and what do you want to express?"
"I came here to express my goodwill." Onoki's expression was a bit complicated, but then his eyes became firm: "I hope to form an alliance with Wood Leaf!"
Hearing Onoki's words, Kei Uchiha and Po Shui Mun suddenly felt that there are too many absurd things in this world.
Onoki is the oldest of the shinobi villages in the five major countries, and he is also known as the most stubborn person.
He actually went to Wood Leaf and secretly met with Wood Leaf's Hokage and Hokage to express his intention to form an alliance?
To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that there is no April Fool's Day in this world, Kei Uchiha would have suspected that today is April 1st.
"Tsushikage-sama, what do you mean by this?" Kei Uchiha's expression was a bit strange: "Wood Leaf and Rock Village have always maintained a sustainable and friendly relationship, why do you say such a thing?"
"Indeed, Tsushikage-sama." Po Shui Mun was also puzzled: "The relationship between Wood Leaf and Rock Village is still okay … Well, it's not too bad, and forming an alliance is not a simple matter, it requires both sides to go through a strict discussion to divide the scope of interests that both sides can accept. If you say so, we … "
"In fact, as you heard, we can accept conditions that are not too harsh, as long as it doesn't violate the core interests of the Rock Village, we can form an alliance." Onoki firmly said: "This is my decision, and also the decision of our Rock Village."
Whether it is Kei Uchiha, Po Shui Mun, or Dedale who has turned into a statue, all of them were dumbfounded.
They really never thought that this old man would actually make such a concession!
Not violating the core interests of the Rock Village?
Where are the core interests of the Rock Village?
In the Land of Earth!
This almost shows that he doesn't care about the interests outside of the Rock Village, in order to promote the normalization of this alliance!
What exactly is the reason that made this old man make such a decision?
The alliance between Wood Leaf and Cloud Village caused Rock Village to be attacked from both sides, forcing him to make concessions?
That shouldn't be the case, whether an alliance is united or not can be seen as the result of interests.
The reason why they are united is because they have the same goals and interests.
And the reason why they betray is because they got something different from what they expected, or because they have enough bargaining chips.
Kei Uchiha and Po Shui Mun don't believe that this old man Onoki doesn't understand these things.
He can completely cut off a part of the interests outside of the Rock Village, that is, close to Cloud Village, he can keep the rest, there is no need to make concessions to this extent.
Suddenly, Kei Uchiha seemed to think of something.
He still remembers that when he fought against Otsutsuki Ichiki, there was a group of outsiders watching him.
At that time, because the opponent he faced was a strong enemy he had never encountered before.
Therefore, he didn't have any mood to figure out who was peeping there.
If combined with some other information, such as the inexplicable disappearance of some of the Rock Village's troops, and the beginning of the Rock Village's retreat.
Does this mean that the person who was peeping at that time was actually Onoki?
Moreover, this guy seemed to have said something about his strength just now. In that case, has this guy already seen his strength?
"Tsushikage-sama." With this thought in mind, Uchiha Keiji asked directly, "What is it that you want to confirm? Just say it!"
"What I want to confirm is about five years ago, did you go to the Forest Land?" Onoki's eyes stared at Kei Uchiha.
In fact, he knows that what he asked is simply nonsense, he already has the answer in his heart, after all, he saw it with his own eyes!
However, he hoped that this guy would say it himself and admit it himself. That way, he would feel that the pressure on him would lessen a lot.
What he was doing now was not a good thing at all.
Po Shui Mun seems to understand something at this moment, he looked at Onoki with a sigh.
But soon he shook his head. He already knows that Onoki saw all this, but why is this guy there, the answer is self-evident.
This old man probably got the news that all the higher-ups of Konoha went there, even the Yondaime Raikage went with them. Is he planning to intercept and kill them?
Unfortunately, this old man was scared by the battle between Kei Uchiha and Otsutsuki, as well as the strength they showed.
"Yes," Kei Uchiha nodded: "Not only did I go there, but I also fought with someone there."
"Sure enough …" Dedale's face changed slightly when he heard this, but Onoki was relieved and continued to ask: "Who is that guy?"
"Sorry, this is confidential." Kei Uchiha shook his head: "I can only say that the purpose of that guy is probably not to let the Shinobi World have an easy time."
"Does that Raikage know anything about that person?" Onoki continued to ask.
"Yes, because we formed an alliance, he knows everything."
"So that's how it is, it seems that my guess is not wrong. You are a rational person, Kei Uchiha, you are more rational than Uchiha Madara. I hope that we can continue to follow up on the alliance. He refused us in the past, so you won't refuse us now, right? "
…
In the Land of the River, one of the main passages leading to Konoha.
The dark green Susanoo was very powerful, and under it, there were many mutilated corpses, and in the hand of this huge Susanoo, there was a guy on the verge of death.
Shisui stood silently in the middle of the Susanoo, his eyes were overflowing with blood, but he didn't care about it at all.
Luo Sha is a Kage after all, even if he is not qualified, his use of Kekkei Limit and his actual combat experience is still very terrifying.
But unfortunately, he was ambushed by Shisui and Ghost Shark!
Especially, the ability that Shisui's Kaleidoscope is showing is not Kotoamatsukami, but the mysterious power of strengthening Susanoo.
Under the third stage of Susanoo, Luo Sha's Kekkei Limit basically became a joke.
In terms of attack power, he has no way to break Susanoo's defense.
And in terms of defense, he can't resist Susanoo's attack at all.
Whether it is spear or shield, the gap is huge, under such circumstances, Luo Sha was defeated by Shisui without any accident.
And Luo Sha's subordinates were cleaned up one by one by Ghost Shark.
Looking at Luo Sha's sluggish expression, obviously under the illusion, Shisui directly threw him to the side.
His eyes were a little gloomy, because he got information from Luo Sha's mouth that made him go crazy.
That is, Luo Sha decided to cooperate with Orochimaru to launch the 'Collapse Plan' against Wood Leaf during the Chunin Exam!
No wonder so many elites set off in advance, no wonder the main force secretly sneaked into the border of the River Country from all directions.
Just as Shisui guessed, this damn Luo Sha has bad intentions, he wants to make a move against Wood Leaf!
Ghost Shark also had a gloomy expression, he also heard this information.
He can already be regarded as a Wood Leaf ninja, he didn't go crazy after hearing this information, because he was worried about exposing himself to the enemy Shisui.
"What do we do now?" Shisui asked in a low voice, his voice sounded normal: "The task has been completed, so what next?"
"Send a message to Orochimaru." Ghost Shark's voice was also very calm, as if he didn't take this information seriously: "Just tell him."
"Then what do we do next? Move around freely? "Shisui asked tentatively. He really wanted to rush back like crazy.
"Why don't we go to Wood Leaf together? After all, such a big show is rare. "To Shisui's surprise, Ghost Shark also wanted to go back, so he asked tentatively.
"That's what I want, together?"
"I can't believe I can also reach a consensus with you, together!"
