Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

The first night of the final trial, somewhere in the dead forest.

"Stop and take a break." Qianye jumped off the tall branch.

Hirohiko and Xue Nai also fell down.

Here is a small open space surrounded by five trees, with very small gaps. For Chiba, it is suitable as a temporary resting place.

"Should we rest now? I feel that the physical exertion is not too great. Should I hurry up for a while? I believe that if they catch up, if they fight, it should not be affected." Xue Nai looked at collecting dead branches and broken leaves around Chiba said.

Hirohiko glanced at Xue Nai, nodded, and said, "I think so too."

"Rest when it's time to rest. There's no need to ignore rest just to save a little time. Hirohiko and I have separated into shadow clones. In terms of Chakra, after all, we have consumed a lot. For the next action, we must rest " Qianye said, piled up the dead branches and broken leaves.

Xue Nai and Hirohiko frowned slightly, but they didn't object anymore, they believed that Chiba must have his reasons for doing so.

"Hirohiko, please light a fire." Chiba said to Hongyan.

Hirohiko frowned again.

light a fire? Doesn't this leave a trace? And is it possible to expose your position as well?

He was a little puzzled. They didn't feel the cold at this time, and the humidity in the forest wasn't very heavy. It didn't matter even if they rested on the spot. And here is surrounded by five giant trees, very hidden, there is no need to light a fire at all.

However, based on his absolute trust in Qianye, he didn't ask any more questions, but he used his seal to set fire to these dead branches.

Along with the flames, a wisp of smoke slowly evaporated up. The place is surrounded by ancient trees, and there is no wind to pass through.

At this time, Xue Nai took out some dry food from her package, and the three of them sat down, surrounded by the fire, and finished the dry food bit by bit with clear water.

"Now, our route has been corrected, and the information of the 4-point map sent back by my shadow clone has been estimated. In half a day, we will reach the Tower of Death." Chiba said.

"So, if we drive overnight today, will we be able to arrive in the early morning?" Xue Nai said, her pretty face was flushed with the light of the fire.

"Yeah." Chiba nodded.

"Rushing overnight?" Hirohiko asked.

"Of course." Chiba smiled slightly and said, "We're about to set off later. The reason why I told you to rest now is because we will rush to the Tower of Death non-stop in the middle of the night. If the shadow clone of Hirohiko and I The longer it lasts, the more time we have now to rest."

It turns out that letting me and his shadow clone hold Hyuga Snow Eagle and the others instead of following Guan Ye and the others, is it to gain the rest time now?

Hirohiko and Xue Nai looked at each other and thought at the same time.

"Rest for five minutes now, and the next step is to rush on non-stop." Chiba said.

The two nodded at the same time, the firelight reflected their faces, two of the three were expressionless, one was thoughtful, and then there was a silence.

At this time, on the other side, the best best route is in the middle.

"Taketo, Snow Eagle, let's take a break. We're almost done here. We'll reach the Tower of Death tomorrow morning." Shiga Taketake called twice, and stopped Kiuchi Taketo and Hinata Snow Eagle who were silent in front of them. .

And Kiuchi Taketo and Hyuga Snow Eagle stopped in their tracks, and looked over with their faces sinking like water.

Shiga Taketake sighed, these two people were obviously still in anger, judging from their appearance, they wanted to rush over immediately, find Taki Chiba, and beat him up.

However, now is not the time to be willful. In Shiga Taketake's view, now is the critical moment of the Chunin exam, and he is in an advantage. This situation is the most dangerous situation.

Under the advantage and at the critical moment, it is easy to make mistakes in judgment, or rush forward, and it is easy to make irreparable mistakes.

At this time, it is more necessary to play steadily and keep calm at all times.

"Hmph! Wu Yue, can you do it like this? This road is nothing at all. Why take a rest and rush to the tower of death in one go! Let those conceited geniuses regret their turtle crawling speed!" Kiuchi Kento snorted coldly, as if he was very dissatisfied with Shiga Taketake's proposal.

But Hyuga Snow Eagle didn't speak, and the meaning conveyed in his eyes was similar, he also hurried on his way, directly arrived at the Tower of Death, and seized the confidential documents.

However, Kiuchi Taketo's purpose was to see Chiba making a fool of herself, to laugh at her, and to relieve her anger. Hyuga Snow Eagle was unwilling to lose to Chiba, and just now he admitted in a disguised form that he was not as good as Chiba, which made him a little hard to accept.

Regardless of the misunderstanding between him and Qianye before, and the relationship between life and death enemies is no longer, but losing to him, admit that he is not as good as him? For him, this is absolutely impossible.

This dealt a big blow to Hyuga Snow Eagle's self-esteem.

Therefore, he now wants to prove that he is stronger than Chiba, not this kid who just graduated from ninja school.

This is Hinata Snow Eagle's attitude towards Chiba after putting aside the hatred.

So, is it a competitor?

Hinata Snow Eagle didn't think about it that way.

He really disliked Qianye! It's even worse to owe someone a favor! Admitting that he is inferior to Qianye makes him even more angry!

That's why he had to defeat him in the Chunin Exam, and the most perfect victory would naturally be to capture the secret scroll in advance, before Chiba rushed to the Tower of Death.

Shiga Takeyue glanced at the two of them, heaved a long sigh, and said, "I am also the captain of this team, this is the captain's order!"

A Chiba will mess up your rhythm. Of course I know that you don't care about this, but I tell you to rest, not to let you really rest, but to let you calm down. You are too anxious and impatient now Yes, something will happen!

Shiga Taketake felt helpless in his heart.

Kiuchi Taketo and Hyuga Yutaka frowned at the same time, Shiga Taketake said this, which made them very dissatisfied.

But Shiga Takeyue used the words "captain's order" to overwhelm them, and they shouldn't go too far. After all, ninjas often act in small teams, and obeying the squad leader's orders is also a very important ninja quality.

From childhood to adulthood, many of them have been indoctrinated with such thoughts.

Even if Hyuga Snow Eagle was stronger than Shiga Taketake, when he heard the words "captain's order", he still had to think carefully about whether he wanted to go his own way.

"Right now, rest where you are, and start again in two hours." Seeing their expressions, Shiga Takeake didn't bother to explain.

Moreover, he also knew that now that Kiuchi Kento was angry, he couldn't persuade him at all, and although this Hinata Xueying hadn't known him for a long time, he didn't seem like someone who could be persuaded.

So, he gave up persuading and explaining, and gave the order directly.

"snort!"

Seeing that Shiga Taketake had already sat down and gnawed dry food on his own, Hyuga Snow Eagle snorted coldly, after all, he did not disobey the captain's order, and sat down directly on the branch. Fortunately, most of the trees here are towering ancient trees. Strong enough for him to sit on.

Seeing that Hinata Snow Eagle and Shiga Taketake had already sat down to rest, Kiuchi Taketo frowned, snorted angrily, stomped his foot, and only sat down unwillingly after making a shallow footprint on the branch.

"Wu Yue, if we don't reach the Tower of Death first because of your current rest, I will definitely not spare you!" Taketo Kiuchi took a bite of the ration.

But Shiga Takeyue didn't seem to respond, he ate dry food on his own, his brows were tightly knit on his lowered face.

Judging by the attitudes of these two people, can they calm down for two hours... Ah, a headache!

I don't know which Taki Chiba is unintentional or intentional, so that these two guys are so angry and lose their minds.

And just as he was thinking about it, a wisp of smoke slowly floated up, far away from them, closer to the Tower of Death than they were.
