Red sand dust

This year's Joint Chuunin Examination did not have the largest number of candidates, but almost all the ninja villages gathered together. In terms of momentum, it was undoubtedly unprecedented.

The conditions in Sunagakure Village were not as good as those in Konoha Village, and there was no examination room that could accommodate all genin candidates.

The cloud ninjas who came from the land of white clouds with high mountains and snowy peaks, and the mist ninjas who came out of the land of water and mist, disliked the environment of the country of wind the most; in contrast, the rock ninjas and Konoha ninjas who had been fighting with the sand ninja for decades , I have some experience in dealing with this dry, hot and windy environment.

As for ninjas from small countries such as Taki Ninja, Kusanagi Ninja, and Rain Ninja, no one cares what they think.

Absolute fairness cannot be guaranteed, but we must at least try to provide conditions.

Arriving half a month in advance will allow foreign candidates more than a week to adapt.

Therefore, in the streets and alleys of Awaji Village, there are always strange ninjas wearing various kinds of forehead protectors.

The Iwa ninja is the one who gathers in groups, talks loudly, and shouts slogans to cheer himself up from time to time; the Kumo ninja is the one who is free and loose, has a frivolous style, has a strong curiosity, and wants to try everything; the Kumo ninja is the one who acts in small teams, even in public. The ones who can quarrel with their own people are the Konoha ninjas; the ones who have no sense of presence and low self-confidence are the Kiri ninjas;

Other ninjas from the small country's ninja village always like to try their best to hide the envy and jealousy in their eyes. They say a few cruel words in private, but they are cautious in face to face, not daring to go too far.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as the Taki ninja girl Fu. Compared with taking exams, it is more in line with her to be able to go out and see the world.

As for the sand ninja candidates, they actually understand that most of the young people who have stood out in the past two years have been promoted, and the rest are relatively mediocre. Except for a few seniors who support the scene, the others are just experiencing in advance what the best of their peers are like. of.

“It’s such an anxious town!”

Kurama Yakumo withdrew his meaningful eyes. Wherever he looked, a girl with bright red hair disappeared around the corner.

"The rows of small high-rise residential areas, the same shops, the horizontal and vertical street layout, even locals, if they don't look at the house number, they probably won't know the way..."

Looking around, they almost all have similar street scenes. The little guys who are used to local life really don't like this layout.

Not only the town planning, but also the regulations in daily life are meticulous to an outrageous degree.

For example, if you destroy windbreaks, green vegetation, pollute water and soil, etc., you will be fined or even forced to volunteer. Even garbage classification has special channels for processing.

"Just do as the Romans do, it's good to be strict like this!"

Shiho handed over Toby's glasses, which were not much thinner than the bottom of the wine bottle, and persuaded calmly,

"Make it clear in advance to avoid accidentally violating taboos. I think some measures are of great reference value..."

"You are still too young..."

Kurama Yakumo sneered,

"The more strict and rigid the rules are, the more it shows that the people in charge of this small village are lazy. This kind of 'one size fits all' rule obviously does not want to spend more manpower and material resources to deal with these small things. When I came last time, It’s not like this, it was originally a nice place with quite a human touch..."

"Oh? Too young..."

Shiho responded thoughtfully,

"Indeed, you are senior than us. However, I can't feel the slightest calmness from you..."

"You two, here we go again..."

Haruno Sakura persuaded with some helplessness,

"We are obviously companions who need to help each other, why can't we talk nicely?"

"Don't worry, we just have slightly different personalities, but it won't affect our performance in the Chunin Exam..."

Shihoyun said softly.

Kurama Yakumo also waved his hands in disinterest:

"I'm just not used to dealing with people whose mood swings are too dull. It's easier to get along with companions who are a little warmer and warmer. Just like you, Sakura... inside your seemingly peaceful and weak body, you have something as explosive as a volcano. The passion makes people want to tease her!"

"I do not understand what you are saying!"

Although her brain is good, Haruno Sakura has not developed much in terms of emotional intelligence. She sighed and said,

"Then again, you just said 'last time' or something like that. Why don't I remember that you had a chance to come to Awaji Village?"

"Don't worry about such a small thing!"

When we secretly came together with Daimaru to capture the White Zetsu clone, it felt so far away.

"I have no idea what such an extreme layout is supposed to do. It's so unbalanced..."

According to a joke circulating privately, 90% of the population of Awaji Village is concentrated in one-tenth of the village's area. This is of course an exaggeration, but it also illustrates some problems.

The entire Awaji Village is quite large, and there is even a "bus" that uses puppet traction as power to pull a trailer through the streets. The main line is operated by the village, and the branch lines are given to apprentices to earn some extra money.

The Konoha ninjas who have just arrived in Konoha for a few days have already experienced the feeling of riding a "bus puppet" that looks like an iron box. Compared with the speed of a ninja, it is naturally far inferior, but it is much faster than walking. It is rare to be comfortable and comfortable. For people who have worked hard for a day, it can be regarded as a moment of peace.

It's just that such extreme regional division is not suitable for Ninja Village. Once a foreign enemy attacks and breaks through the outer defense line, it can cause major damage by destroying relatively prosperous areas.

This is a pretty big defensive loophole. Arrange a tailed beast or jinchūriki on the periphery and shoot a tailed beast jade in this direction, and the essence of the entire Awaji Village will basically be wiped out.

Putting the first test of the Joint Chuunin Exam in Awaji Village and allowing ninjas from other countries to come and go is equivalent to exposing one's own shortcomings.

"Maybe the sand ninjas are not afraid of threats at all, or maybe this is just a facade, and the real core is out of our sight!"

…

About ten meters deep underground, in a hall supported by a dense sand-iron skeleton, Temari was directing her subordinates to inspect the examination room facilities.

In the entire Awaji Village, the underground construction area is larger than the above-ground part in the plan. The three-story underground structure and functional areas are fully operational and can accommodate a larger population than Sunagakure Village.

The environment on the surface is so harsh that even Daimaru is not sure whether it should go underground.

Awaji Village is the first pilot project, and if feasible, it will be gradually expanded.

Of course, the things on the drawings have not yet been fully implemented. Only a small part has been opened up as the venue for the first test of the joint chunin examination.

"The examination room is stronger than a prison cell. We are not going to give candidates any chance to take advantage of it..."

Looking at the examination room that gradually resembled what she imagined, Temari sighed secretly.

I have a lot of things to do today, and I wasted a lot of time. I will update it later tonight and will make up for it tomorrow.
