Leaf Ninja Life

Chapter 78 Finding the Enemy
The time came to 3:55 pm, at this time all the ninja teams were basically ready at their respective entrances.

"It seems that there is no one around, let's go."

At Gate 26 of the Death Forest, there is only one Konoha ninja dressed as an invigilator standing there motionless.

At this moment, three figures appeared in the woods not far away, they were the three members of Xiu's team.

The invigilators were not surprised to see them appearing at this time. After they approached, they asked directly, "Please show the entrance number you got."

After checking it from Xiuyi, he continued: "No problem, the exam is about to start, please get ready."

At the gate of the Death Forest, Uno stared at the timetable. As the minute hand and the second hand coincided, he directly announced loudly: "The second Chunin exam is now officially started."

As the other deputy examiners announced the start of the exam at the same time, the ninjas at the entrances of the death forest set off without hesitation, and a fierce battle for the scrolls began.

"Shua!" "Shua!" "Shua!"...

Xiuyi and the other three were no exception, and quickly rushed into the death forest together.

"Then we will follow the plan and head southeast first."

From the main perspective of the main gate of No. 26, after the Xiu team entered, they headed in a direction 45° to the left. For this route, they obviously planned to take the initiative to start looking for the enemy.

At the gate of No. 31, the Chunin of Sand Ninja asked about Sand Tree's plan.

Sha Shu replied: "Let's go to the left."

Similarly, they also plan to take the initiative to find enemies. If they still need to worry about the living environment as a Chunin, then they don’t need to be ninjas, and they can just go home and raise pigs.

At Gate No. 40, two Konoha ninjas, a man and a woman, looked at their teammates beside them, "Follow me to the southeast direction."

This time the young man in sunglasses walked in front, and the other two quickly followed behind him.

Xiuyi and the others didn't know that there was a possibility of colliding with multiple parties. Now they kept moving forward at a constant speed, moving left and right among the trees, and their linear speed was not very fast.

For ordinary ninja, the ability to travel long distances is far worse than that of zhongnin.

An excellent Chunin can travel at least 30km in an hour.Of course, that's going straight on a perfectly flat road.

The environment of the death forest does not allow that kind of speed at all. Just like Xiuyi and the others, the ninjas who use chakra action in the examination room all take a "Z"-shaped route, and take a moment to observe the surrounding environment before each jump.

So in general, everyone is not moving fast.Moreover, a team without special investigative means is likely to miss the opponent without knowing it.

There are also quite a few ninjas who are not confident enough in their own strength, they just walk around quickly on the ground of the death forest, always alert to the surrounding situation.

This Chunin exam is very difficult, and they don't want to waste any amount of chakra, because it is very likely that they will have to rest for a long time when they encounter a battle.

This is the case with the only remaining team in Kusanagi Village. After listening to the rules of the second test, Captain Hirama almost decided to give up passing the level.

As for the face of the country and the village, and if the teacher who leads the team asks them to pass the customs, it doesn't matter at all in front of their own lives.

So they are more cautious now. If possible, Hirama even wants to stay not far from the entrance. Even if he looks awkwardly at the invigilator, that is acceptable.

The problem that is forcing them to move forward now is the source of water. The test requires that they stay in the test room for three full days.

If it is a food problem, then you can make do with it. By hunting some wild animals and the ration pills they carry, it will be no problem for three days.

But even a ninja would be in danger if he did not drink water for three days.Unfortunately, usually their entrance is the farthest vertical distance from that river.

So in order to get water replenishment, they can only walk slowly in the direction of the river.

"Captain Hirama, I don't understand. Since you said that for the sake of safety, shouldn't we walk close to the wall of the Death Forest? Although the distance is much longer, it should be safer." A villager from Cao Ren Shinobu asked a little suspiciously.

Hearing this, Hirama smiled confidently, "According to normal logic, it is true. But in such an environment, you have to think differently."

"What do you think? When you are strong and your opponent is weak, how should the weaker side act in the Death Forest?"

"Oh!" Kusanagi Murakami suddenly realized, "So, among so many teams, there must be some who are looking for enemies along the side."

"From their point of view, a team that adopts this method of marching must be very weak. Once they meet, they can easily take down the opponent." Hirama felt that there must be a team advancing close to the side, just as he thought. .

"Sure enough, you are indeed the captain! You are thinking comprehensively. If you walk slowly like ours, neither going to the middle of the tower nor going to the edge, you will have the lowest probability of encountering the enemy." He looked at Pingjian.

Because the other teams of Grass Ninja Village were eliminated, their team is special.

In the first exam, Hirama, as the captain, was lucky to sit in the last row, and because of his wisdom, the team survived the danger.

"Everywhere, this is normal operation." Hirama enjoyed the compliments from his teammates, although he was not flattered, he still enjoyed it.

A lot of time has passed since the exam began, and the sun, which was still hanging in the sky, is now slowly approaching the horizon.

"It's almost done, Akiba, let's speed up and find someone now." Xiuyi said to Hinata Akiba.

"Understood! White eyes, open!"

Vicious protruding blood vessels appeared on both sides of Hinata Akiba's eyes, because he was mainly looking for enemies and had a wide range of observation, so he had to concentrate.

"I haven't found it yet!"

Shuichi and Sarutobi Kohei helped cover her on both sides, observing the amount of information hundreds of meters around was too much, and in order to find other teams, their action intervals also became longer. .

"Let's go in a different direction, maybe there are teams that move slower." After a while, there was still nothing, so Xiuyi decided to change the direction.

So the three turned 90 degrees and started heading northeast.If someone can look down from a high altitude, they will find that the route of the Xiu team is to dig out a small fan on the big disk of the death forest.

After about ten minutes, no other teams were found for the time being, so Shuichi was going to let Hinata Akiba take a rest.

Before he could speak, Hinata Akiba's voice sounded.

"I found a team with a relatively weak Chakra response, located at 35 degrees northward, about 500 meters away."
