Red sand dust

Under the threat of foreign enemies, they can still work together reluctantly. Once the difficulties are overcome, a piece of loose sand is not enough to describe the fragility of the so-called alliance. Mutual defense is a matter of course, and it is already very restrained not to fight against each other.

Shana maintained the transport of chakra, used Wind Release and Sand Release to create a sandstorm, and surrounded a total of six Kusanagi and Taki ninjas who had joined forces. After their physical strength was exhausted, he easily defeated them and took away everything they had. supplies.

"It seems that the difficulty of the first trial is too low, so that people like this can compete with us..."

Putting the genin exams that were lying on the ground together, Zi Luo divided the loot into three parts, two of which were given to Shana for safekeeping. As for Saya, who naturally said harsh words, he never cared about these boring things. trivia.

The lady with lavender twintails looked at her defeated enemy from a few meters away:

"So weak, we can only go so far as a group to survive. It turns out that he is a ninja from Xiao Ninja Village, and he only knows how to play tricks..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge pile of sand rose up from the ground, and a giant burrowing creature with a bag on its chest crawled out, and the three grass ninjas who were traveling with it were thrown to the ground.

"How can it be?"

The short Kusanagi wearing sunglasses couldn't believe it.

"My psychic beast, why do you do this?"

"Beasts are simple-minded and can be controlled too easily! How could you deceive me with such superficial means?"

Whether you want to hide underground for a sneak attack or take the opportunity to leave your temporary teammates and escape, it is useless in front of Miss Saya's spiritual magic.

"You still look like ninjas, much better than those useless people, but you look too disgusting..."

The short guy in sunglasses has a very poisonous mouth, his bad hair style is too ugly while waving a flagpole as a weapon, and the big fat guy is covered in sticky sweat, and the smell is too bad. Neither Saya nor Shanai wanted to get close, but in the end, Ziluo had to hold back her nausea and step forward to collect the loot.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the three of them once again set out on the road to the center of the "Demon Desert".

"It's such a pity. If it were the scroll battle two years ago, we would have eliminated a quarter of the candidates..."

Shanai complained with some regret,

"There are also the Konoha ninjas who passed by just now. They ran too fast. It would be nice to defeat them and let out a bad breath..."

Back then, they were all defeated by the Konoha ninjas in the third trial and were eliminated. Now they finally have a chance to take revenge and go back. Unfortunately, the remaining candidates were too cautious, and they were so lucky that they "cooked" the three teams in one fell swoop. Probably impossible to reproduce.

"Our opponents are Konoha ninjas and the strong enemies of this village. The candidates from other villages are relatively weak..."

Zi Luo, who has become much more mature than two years ago, commented seriously.

Miss Saya, who didn't really agree with the chat between her two teammates, suddenly said:

"There is a team of Taki ninjas who are very strong, the very fast female ninja Fu, and the two teammates are not weak either..."

The silly and foolish Seven-Tails Jinchuuriki is still very conspicuous, and the two teammates who look unattractive but are actually jounin are not simple either.

…

At this moment, the Taki-nin team that was being talked about was confronting the serious Hyuga Neji, Rock Lee and Tenten.

Fu, who wanted to get close, was forced back by Tenten's shuriken. She said with some disappointment:

"I finally met a group of people who didn't run away when they saw us, and they seemed very friendly. Do you want to make friends with me?"

Such a frivolous appearance made the three Konoha ninjas frown.

"Is she looking down on us?"

Even the slow Rock Lee felt displeased that the opponent was so negligent towards the Chunin Exam that he was eagerly awaiting.

"We'll talk about it after we fight!"

Eager to try, Tiantian held the storage scroll full of hidden weapons in his hand and was about to take action.

Seeing that the tense atmosphere did not ease, Fu quickly waved her hands and said:

"I don't mean any harm, I just want to get to know you. If I have time, I can exchange feelings and stuff..."

Unfortunately, in the "Devil's Desert", it is obviously not a good place to talk.

As time goes by, the scope of the "Circle of Divine Punishment" becomes smaller and smaller. Even if the remaining candidates do not want to fight, they will inevitably encounter other competitors, and sudden fights become more and more frequent.

At the monitoring tower in the center of the examination room, Longsha was observing the performance of the candidates through a high-altitude camera. He poured himself a glass of cold water, took a sip and moistened his throat.

Sitting side by side, Hiki Mori held a slightly cold milk tea and drank it generously. The fragrant liquid with moderate sweetness was washed down, and the lingering flavor made the serious, scarred man's face relax a little.

"More than halfway through, the slow first phase is almost over. It's finally time for everyone to show their true abilities..."

Three days is not a long time, but it is completely enough for a high-intensity local war.

In the ninja war, most of the casualties occurred in conflicts where neither side could retreat.

Fighting in large groups is not suitable for ninjas. Even if the ninja army faces a head-on confrontation, at most it will be fought with a team of twenty or thirty people. Ninjas with amazing destructive power but not very good defense are too easy to die due to accidents.

At other times, the elite teams' special operations and security operations tested the logistical supply capabilities of major countries and Ninja Villages.

The second test of the Joint Chuunin Examination has simplified the qualifications, but the requirements for the process are extremely broad. It is completely different from the style of the first test where everyone took the trouble to explain everything.

Strict rules are actually not suitable for the performance of some top candidates. Only by relaxing restrictions and creating a stage where it is easier to perform can the examiner discover their strengths.

Ryusha, who is older than Senai and Xi, smiled and nodded:

"It's just a test of actual combat ability. There's no need to specially choose an examination room like the 'Demon Desert'. The purpose of the second test is to select outstanding ninjas who can complete tasks in complex environments. It's not enough just to be able to fight..."

After a pause, Long Sha continued:

"Trust between teammates can also be cultivated through education and tempered over time. However, how to deal with the relationship with other people, accurately judge the situation, and adopt the most appropriate strategy has always been a very difficult problem..."

"oh?"

Morino Ihiki asked with great interest,

"What do you think is the crux of the problem?"

"sense of security……"

Long Sha replied with great certainty,

"As small as a genin team, as large as a village or a country, actions carried out to improve the 'security' will lead to a decrease in the 'security' of other competitors, and then seek counterattacks. A vicious cycle is inevitable..."
