Ninja Ice House

Hana Inuzuka, who entered school at the same time as Itachi Uchiha, is positioned as a veterinarian and a part-time trainee member of the patrol team. She is trusted by others for her steady and skilled skills, and is a talented woman known far and wide.

Uchiha Itachi of the same age is so dazzling, like the bright moon in the sky, almost covering up all the shining stars. But this does not mean that others are not outstanding. Perhaps in terms of ninjutsu talent, no one can match that taboo.

A rebellious ninja, Hana Inuzuka still plays an indispensable role in the field she is good at.

The danger level of the Death Forest is even more terrifying than rumored. Most chunin must be careful when entering it to avoid being endangered by endless traps.

Genin candidates who have the courage to sign the certificate of life and death have a basic sense of consciousness. Of course, Konoha ninjas will try their best to ensure that unnecessary casualties do not occur.

According to Inuzuka Hana's ninja route, it is actually possible not to take the Chunin exam. By accumulating merit through patrols or advancing through the ranks with superb veterinary skills, sooner or later he will become a unique special jounin.

In recent years, the talent pool of Konoha Village has indeed been relatively mediocre. After "Shunshen Shisui" and Uchiha Itachi, few talented people have emerged.

With the unexplained death of Uchiha Shisui and the defection of Uchiha Itachi, the entire family was wiped out, putting great pressure on everyone in Konoha Village. As a last resort, some people who can completely circumvent the "Chūnin Examination"

The genin of "Double Plank Bridge" were arranged to come for the trial.

Especially this year, after experiencing the turbulent "Night of Genocide" in which most of the entire village was burned to the ground, the initially rebuilt Konoha Village needs some exciting good news.

Hana Inuzuka, who had high hopes, took two passable juniors to compete in the chuunin exams, and even told her about her past. The fifteen-year-old girl was obviously much more stable than the immature one three years ago.

It's a pity that the genin candidates in Konohagakure this time are generally mediocre. No matter how good Inuzuka Hana is, she can't turn the tide on her own. In addition, her luck is really bad. Not long after entering the forest of death, two teammates

He was bitten by food poisoning and poisonous snakes, which affected his combat effectiveness.

Although veterinarians are mainly used to treat psychic companions, they can be used on people in emergencies.

After settling his comrades, Inuzuka Hana sent the psychic dog to patrol the surrounding area while he took the time to recover his strength.

At this time, it is indeed very convenient to have a few reliable psychic beasts. Xiang Rin, who has entered the third grade, can no longer suppress Uchiha Sasuke in terms of absolute combat power, but he can still secure his position as the chief student, just because

With the assistance of Sesshomaru and Hoshimaru, when the match is evenly matched, a slight advantage can be transformed into victory.

Inuzuka Hana, who grew up with the three Haimaru brothers, knows better how to bring out the power of a ninja dog.

If you encounter a strong opponent, stay away from it. If you encounter an unlucky one who is unlucky, strike hard. Even if your team is in poor condition, you still meet the conditions for passing the level without any danger. The only thing left is to reach the central tower area and submit

Mission voucher, waiting for the final decision.

However, there are really too many candidates this year, and there are many "old students" who have reference experience in the past. As a result, the elimination rate in the first test is not high, and there are more genin candidates entering the Death Forest.

Although it is called "Forest of Death", it is just a relatively dangerous training ground after all. With so many candidates of acceptable ability entering it, it is really too crowded.

To be honest, this year's genin candidates are the closest in terms of strength in recent years. There are almost no dominant teams, and there are no particularly incompetent ones. This has led to the occurrence of betrayal and sneak attacks after the alliance.

The frequency is extremely high.

There are no tigers in the mountains, so the monkeys fight for the throne.

The closer to the central tower area, the more pressure Inuzuka Hana felt on her body. The two teammates had not fully recovered, and with the help of the three Haimaru brothers, Inuzuka Hana could not guarantee that she could protect her teammates and break out of the siege.

Unfortunately, the gap in strength among the candidates this year has not widened. It is a high probability that the preliminaries will be reopened before the third test. If you reach the finish line earlier, you can treat your injuries faster and restore your fighting strength to face the upcoming fierce battle.

As capable candidates gather, a fierce battle is brewing. There is no action now, but everyone is wary and does not want to expose their strength prematurely, waste chakra, and let latecomers take advantage.

Just when Inuzuka Hana was worrying about the next move, suddenly, a strange chakra fluctuation came.

"Who's over there..."

As far as the eye can see, among the water plants on the other side of the river, three bulging foreign objects approached at an extremely fast speed, then jumped up and landed on the grass not far away. The center of the water group split, and three people in slim clothes walked out.

A little girl in a ninja vest, three balls of water turned into a young ninja wearing a respirator mask and dark green tights.

"Star Ninja?"

Inuzuka Hana's heart couldn't help but sink, and she calmly recalled the three Haimaru brothers.

The three little girls look relatively young, not much older than Inuzuka Kiba, but two of them seem to be "old students", named Sasame and Kageno. They were also referenced last year and participated in "Fighting" twice in a row.

Wang" youth group, has a good record and is somewhat famous.

At the same time, the two teammates also realized the danger, dragging their bodies recovering from serious illness, to defend Inuzuka Hana.

Counting combat partners, the numbers on both sides are equal. If the two teammates don't hold back, Inuzuka Hana has a greater chance of winning.

However, this is not an arena for fair duels. A small spark can ignite the solemn aura that is about to explode nearby, and a big fight is inevitable.

"She is indeed Sister Hua, she is really hard to find."

The slightly weak Sasame approached with a smile, but Inuzuka Hana did not dare to be careless and asked calmly:

"Are you so sure? You must know that there are at least thirty people nearby who are watching eagerly..."

"We are not strong enough, so of course we have to find allies. We think we are pretty strong, and using force to break through is also an option. However, we always feel a little unwilling to fight hard and let others take advantage. How about we join forces and clear the situation?

Let’s compete later?”

"you?"

Inuzuka Hana's face looked a little ugly.

If possible, it would be best to join forces with fellow Konoha villagers. However, in this forest of death where we are competitors, the friendship between fellow villagers is not reliable. When we know the basics, we are more inclined to kill our competitors in advance.

After all, the arrogance and arrogance cultivated by Konoha ninjas over the years should not be underestimated. Although Inuzuka Hana is an elite with high hopes, those seniors who have struggled for many years in the Chuunin Exams and hope to become famous will not give her face.

Not long ago, Inuzuka Hana met a pair of Konohagakure candidates. It was obviously their first time to take the chunin exam, but they performed very skillfully. If Inuzuka Hana hadn't been alert, she would have almost been attacked by surprise.

Especially one of them, a man with glasses named Yakushi Kabuto, is said to be over 18 years old. He is taking the Chunin Exam for the first time at this age. His qualifications should be considered quite mediocre, but the threat he brings to others is very strong. He is being stared at.

Time is like a thorn in the back, making people afraid to be careless.

"Why work with us?"

"We are strong enough and there are only a few people. Even if we fall out, we have the ability to protect ourselves."

"Just you?"

Inuzuka Hana smiled.

With their fighting partners on guard, the Inuzuka clan members are not afraid of siege to a certain extent.

The six people in front of us are nothing to worry about. Although it is a bit tricky, we can still win. The problem is that we will be easily surrounded by successive challenges.

It is a normal choice for the weak to join forces to eliminate the most threatening strong ones first. Of course, it is also a countermeasure for the strong to join forces to eliminate the miscellaneous fish and then fight in a decisive battle.

"We, the Star Ninja, only have two teams. It is not a problem to join forces to break into the central tower. However, the Grass Ninja and Rain Ninja on the opposite side, relying on the strength of their numbers, want to control the channels behind them. We want to teach them a lesson."

Hearing this, Inuzuka Hana suddenly understood.

The Rain Ninja, Kusanagi Ninja and Star Ninja are somewhat similar in their combat modes, relying more on the assistance of ninja tools. If they follow the same route, they are all direct competitors.

Perhaps, the opposite Hoshi-nin planned to eliminate the lone Kusanagi and Rain-nin on the road, just like Inuzuka Hana saw the opportunity to kick out the two teams of Suna-nin.

The five major ninja villages are competitors with each other, and the second-tier ninja villages also have to compete for the corresponding "ecological niche". They are both allies of the Leaf Village, but their importance is also different.

The Rain Ninja and Taki Ninja are obviously more valued, while the Grass Ninja and the newly built Star Ninja have less presence.

"You are... the wind demon clan? That's it."

In the past, everyone was a ninja clan living in the north. The decline of the Fuma clan was also due to the Kusanagi, Rain ninja and Taki ninja squeezing their living space. After living in Tian Country for many years, they failed to create a ninja village. The external environment

Poor performance is also an important factor.

It is impossible to say that there is an unexplained blood feud between the two.

"Can."

After thinking for a moment, Inuzuka Hana agreed to Sasame's suggestion.

It's good to arrive at the finish line safely, but it doesn't hurt to have a fight. The Chuunin Exam is both a test and an important experience. If you can gain something more important from this major exam, a slight setback is not unacceptable.

but……

With the corner of his eye, he looked at the three star ninjas in tight-fitting clothes who said nothing. In the skin exposed at the edge of the breathing mask, there was a fine blue scale-like light, exuding waves of strange fishy smell, which made the people with extremely sensitive sense of smell

Inuzuka Hana is very strange.

Ninjas with special bloodlines are not uncommon, but these three guys give people an unusual feeling.

However, since they are temporary allies now, it is not easy to inquire about other people's ninjutsu secrets.

Seeing that the agreement was reached, Sasame was also very satisfied. The three masked monsters formed seals, and their bodies changed shape, turning into armor, and merged with the three little girl star ninjas. The ferocious back stabs and the sharp blades bent at the elbows, at first glance

Not ordinary.

Fusion... the secret technique of combined attack?

Inuzuka Hana's heart couldn't help but sink. Inuzuka Hana could also use this fighting mode in which one plus one is far greater than two, but it would consume a lot of physical strength and chakra of herself and Haimaru brothers, and they would not be able to fight for a long time.

"To show our sincerity, we are the vanguard. You then expand the attack surface. We defeat the front line of defense in one go, and then pursue the victory."

The Inuzuka family's tracking skills are very good, and the Hoshi-nin also has some good secret techniques to monitor nearby movements.

The plan was decided. Sasame and others, who were walking on the water, stirred up waves, rode the huge waves, and went upstream along the river. They rushed directly into the trap shrouded in illusion, and the cathartic water flow directly swept the shore.

In such an environment, the light was distorted by the illusion barrier, and a hole was suddenly punched through.

Under the guidance of the keen sense of smell of the three Haimaru brothers, the so-called visual illusions are not worth mentioning. Inuzuka Hana, who has the advantage in individual combat power, is like the alpha wolf, commanding the wolf pack to hunt, surrounding a dozen Kusanagi in the middle,

Gather them together and destroy them with one blow.

The whole process lasted less than ten minutes. After leaving a mess, they rested for a few minutes and then headed to the next gathering place.

Sarutobi Asuma, who had watched the one-sided fight throughout, sent a message to the nearby invigilator to take the unconscious examinee into treatment, and then looked in the direction where the Konoha ninja and Seishin ninja were crushing them.

The simpler the strategy, the more effective it is. The weak can survive for a while by joining forces, but the strong are just conceited and are not fools. They really feel powerless and don't mind killing the bastards watching the show before having a serious duel.

To put it bluntly, the Chuunin Exam is just a mission simulation, not a real ninja war.

Especially the third trial is a show where you show your strength and style. If you want to shine, you must have a worthy opponent as a stepping stone to set it off.

Even if you defeat a few mediocre people with no reputation or strength, you can't prove your excellence.

In principle, Konoha ninja still prefers strong and famous star candidates to qualify. Some unwritten rules also tend to make the third test more exciting and attractive.

This year's Chuunin Exam lacks the "star" flavor, and the emergence of dark horses in the second-tier ninja villages is a highlight. However, there are too many unknown "miscellaneous fish", which will also affect the "financers"' perception of the Chunin Exam.

The increasingly popular "King of Fighting" challenge has gained attention every year, putting a lot of pressure on the Chuunin Examination.

Except for the five major ninja villages, which are relatively reserved and do not take the initiative to participate, many ninjas, samurai and ronin have joined in, claiming to be "fighters", making the position of the ninjas increasingly embarrassing.

To put it bluntly, it is still the Chuunin Exam, which is not very friendly to outsiders. It is far less exciting than the "King of Fighting" with punches and hormones.

Konoha Village, one of the organizers of the "Chunin Examination", has actually thought about reforming the competition system, learning from the "King of Fighters", and adding more highlights and gimmicks, but how to do it specifically has yet to be practiced.

"This year's "cooperation" between teams reflects team tactics and is a good breakthrough. I can mention it to the old man and increase the attention on the first and second trials next year to warm up for the third trial."

The audition format of "The King of Fighters" is too eye-catching. If we play by ourselves behind closed doors, we are obviously no match."

Thinking of these, Sarutobi Asuma's heart twitched. Whenever Kosugi Bosui showed extraordinary talent, the bearded man who regarded him as his love rival would feel frustrated.

In terms of absolute strength, Sarutobi Asuma thinks he has an advantage, but it's not that big.

The others were really outclassed by Major Governor Gu Shan.

Losing to anyone is not as intense as the frustration caused by losing to Gu Shan Bu Shui.

While thinking about it, strange fluctuations suddenly came from the surveillance barrier of the Death Forest. An unknown chakra invaded, triggering the defense.

"To the southwest, go check quickly. There are several sound ninjas stationed there to see what's going on."

Several swift figures flew away like arrows, and the bearded man himself looked in another suspicious direction...
