Time travel at the same time: Is the golden finger actually me?

In the forest of death, Rock slowly stopped his hand.

The blazing white light dissipated from his hands.

In front of him was a straight line of bare, burned ground, but behind him was a forest with a density of trees far higher than anywhere else.

Rock let out a breath of turbid air. This trick is usually difficult to use because it requires absorbing the natural energy contained in the sun in advance.

However, Rock also has a solution. He usually chooses to release the birth of the tree world to summon the sea of ​​trees to help him absorb energy quickly.

Just like when playing cards, you cast field magic first, or when playing Qing Shui, you cast the Overlord Rasengan first.

The Wooden Ninja starts with a Tree Realm, which is also extremely pure and can make the ninjas on the line say that it is very maneuverable.

Naturally, Roque just used the operation to draw the opponent's attention. He first used the Tree Sea's Descendant to attract the opponent's attention, and then used the Tree World's Descendant to combine with the Sun's Flame for an initial kill. Although it only took two or three moves back and forth, it was really full.

It can only be said that Orochimaru himself was unlucky, having been struck by the Wood Release and the Sharingan one after another.

'I don't know if he has been beaten to the red temperature...' Rock picked up the scroll of heaven and earth and rushed towards the central tower of the Death Forest.

Orochimaru, who had just fought against him, was actually a very special ninja. He was a completely different type of Kage-level powerhouse than Jiraiya and the Sandaime.

Although both Jiraiya and Sarutobi are good at ninjutsu, in fact they are best at senjutsu and compound ninjutsu, so strictly speaking, they are both ninjutsu-type ninjas.

Including Rock, he is currently in this category. His ninjutsu is good, but his ninjutsu is the most outstanding.

As for Orochimaru, he is an anti-human type. The Kusanagi sword combined with Orochimaru swordsmanship can kill people simply and efficiently. The Hidden Shadow Multi-Snake Hand also focuses on speed and cunning. He rarely uses overpowering techniques and uses more ninjutsu. Instead, he preferred to save his life.

But this does not mean that he is weak. On the contrary, Orochimaru's ability lies in a trick. The Fourth Ninja World War was almost entirely fought with the Clay Reincarnation Technique, and the Clay Reincarnation Technique can be used in actual combat. It also relies on Orochimaru's improvement.

…

On the other side of the forest of death.

Kabuto Yakushi was cleaning up the corpses of ninjas from Kusanagi Village.

'Failed...' He pushed up his glasses silently.

None of their plans seemed to be going well when it came to Rock.

Originally, Orochimaru-sama was going to disguise himself as a grass ninja and plant a curse seal on Rock and Sasuke. During this period, even if the third generation knew that Orochimaru had come to Konoha, it didn't matter, because this information was deliberately passed on to Konoha. .

Even if Konoha finds out that there is something wrong with the Sound Ninja Village, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, both the Sound Ninja Village and the Sand Ninja are just throwaways.

The only hidden information about Orochimaru-sama is that he pretended to be Kazekage.

This is something that has been prepared for a long time in order to be able to fight the third generation alone.

but now……

Orochimaru had just contacted him and asked him to dispose of the Kusanagi's body and try not to expose his existence.

This means that the previous trump card is no longer enough, and Orochimaru has to buy himself more time by hiding information.

'Is it because Rock's strength is far beyond expectations...' Kabuto Yakushi looked up silently. Not far from his sight was the forest destroyed by Rock.

‘What a terrifying power. Is this the limit of blood inheritance you are pursuing? ’

…

Rock reached the central tower easily.

A battle royale game is going on throughout the Death Forest.

Hiding and looting scrolls have always been the main theme, but just now many people felt the trembling movement of the Death Forest.

So everyone hid quietly, and no one showed up during this period.

"Not bad! You are the second best among these newcomers!" Hongdou stood at the entrance of the tower, holding a bunch of meatballs in his hand: "I didn't expect it, it's me!"

"..."

Rock was silent.

"Aren't you curious why you are second?" Hong Dou took a bite of the meatball.

"Not curious."

He was not in a hurry on the way, it was just that Gaara and his team came earlier.

"Really? Wait -" Hong Dou frowned suddenly when she looked at Rock. She immediately got close to Rock's body and smelled carefully: "You smell like snake..."

However, the taste was very bland, and Anko gradually relaxed her vigilance. Maybe she was too sensitive and felt something was wrong.

After she took a breath, she said towards the back: "The contestants' room is inside. You can rest here for the past few days while waiting to participate in the qualifiers."

The qualifying round also follows the exam in the Forest of Death. Rock remembers that in the original work, Sasuke had just planted the curse seal and had to participate in the one-on-one qualifying round before he had time to adapt.

The main reason was that they were too slow and waited until the fifth day to collect the scrolls and arrive at the central tower.

And for people like Gaara, the sooner they come to the tower, the sooner they can start recharging their energy.

Rock nodded and was about to walk into the tower.

Suddenly, an ANBU appeared in front of Anko.

"Urgent notice, after discussing with the Kazekage, the Third Generation Master has decided to change the time of the third round of qualifying to one week after the second round of exams."

"Candidates who have passed the second Death Forest exam can leave and wait for the notification of the third exam."

"What?" Hongdou was a little confused, but she still told the ANBU that she knew, and she would stay here to inform the next candidates who passed the test.

Rock raised his eyebrows, knowing that Orochimaru had another plan.

…

Hokage Tower.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the Kazekage in front of him.

"Do we really want to change the time of the qualifiers?" Sarutobi didn't understand. The current number one is Gaara of Sand Ninja Village. It can be said that if the original system is followed, the qualifiers will start immediately after the end of the Death Forest.

Then I'm afraid Gaara, the unscathed person, is the easiest to take advantage of.

Sarutobi turned to look at the young man in the surveillance camera with murderous eyes and a gourd on his back.

Is it because you have enough confidence in him?

"Of course we have to change. It would be a pity if we were exhausted because of the second test and couldn't show our original strength and were eliminated in the qualifying round." Feng Ying said with a smile.

Even if he didn't plant a curse seal on Sasuke this time, he would still kill the third generation.

But the strength shown by Rock is really troublesome, and I don't know if the One-Tail Jinchuuriki is enough to fight...

Not only that, Orochimaru also had to consider whether Jiraiya, who had been pestering him, would rush back to Konoha during this period.

So he needs time to find a few more corpses and beat the Sandaime hard! Kill the ape!

I just don’t know if his teacher will be able to withstand it when the time comes.

Although there was a complex murderous intention in his heart, the "Kazekage" continued to smile on the outside: "It is not easy to jointly hold the Chunin Exam this time. Naturally, it would be better to be grander. It is best to have it witnessed by the daimyo. Proceed next.”

In fact, not to mention Kazekage, Sarutobi had already planned this.

The birth of the Wooden Ninja at this time was the time to announce to the world that he, Sarutobi Hiruzen, had contributed to Konoha.

However, he originally planned to wait until the number of contestants reaches the quarterfinals, and then drag out the daimyo and the wealthy people in the village to sneak out again.

But I didn't expect Feng Ying to be so confident.
