After arriving at the destination, Nagaze did not start the test immediately, but gave them some time to adjust.
After twenty minutes, Nagase announced the start of the exam.
"The assessment officially begins!" After Yongze made the announcement, no one hesitated and they all quickly walked into the dense forest.
The truly timid ones were eliminated in the illusion assessment before they even joined the special operations team.
The rest all have a certain degree of courage and confidence. They believe in the results of their hard work and in their own abilities.
This mountain is not a famous mountain, it is just an ordinary mountain. Many students in the special operations class don’t even know its name.
After all, this is not inside Konoha, this is outside Konoha.
In fact, the people of Konoha seldom go out in their lives. Except for necessary moments like carrying out missions, everyone stays in Konoha most of the time.
Konoha is very large, almost the same size as a city in Nagase's previous life, except that large tracts of land are used as various training grounds, and people are concentrated in one area, making it appear not to be very large, but in fact the territory is very large.
Although there are not many people, Konoha is small but complete with everything you need for life, so you don't have to go out.
Of course, there is nothing outside, and one has to walk quite a distance to reach the town. Ordinary people find it tiring, but ninjas think it is unnecessary.
It was noon and the sun was particularly strong. Yin Luka walked in the dense forest of the mountains, observing his surroundings carefully.
The weather today seems to be particularly good. There are few clouds and the sunshine is very warm. The warm midday sunshine hits the tender green leaves in the mountains, emitting a flash of spring.
But Yin Luka was not attracted by the scenery. Instead, he held the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand to keep himself awake.
He did not forget Yongze's reminder that this seemingly ordinary mountain was already filled with all kinds of poisonous insects and monsters.
In fact, before entering the mountains, someone had invited Yin Luka to form a team. After all, Yin Luka was not an autistic boy. On the contrary, he was quite optimistic and cheerful, and had a good relationship with others in the special operations class.
However, he believed that Nagase Fuzuo would definitely not make such a low-level mistake. There was no way to take shortcuts in the assessment of the special operations class, and one had to rely on one's own hard power to pass it.
So not only did he not join the team of those people, but he also persuaded them to act alone and pass the exam with their own strength.
Some people were persuaded and gave up forming a team. Of course, people always have different ideas. Some people also thought that this was a flaw that Nagase deliberately left for people to discover.
There are also some people whose purpose of forming a team in the first place is not to pass the exam easily, but simply because they don’t want to take the exam alone, so of course they will not give up forming a team.
For those who still wanted to form a team, Yin Luka didn't say much, just asked them to be careful. He had done what he should do, and there was nothing he could do if the other party didn't listen.
Besides, he is not 100% right. Maybe Nagasawa Fuzo really wants everyone to take the initiative to study the rules and find loopholes.
It would be funny if the results came out and he was wrong.
Suddenly, Yin Luka saw something on the green leaves that were sparkling in the sunlight.
"Water Breathing Form 1 - Water Surface Slash!"
Without hesitation, Yin Luka drew his sword in an instant, and a thin stream of sword flew out, cutting off all the green leaves in that area.
Puff!
Emerald green leaves were flying all over the sky, and the green poisonous insects hiding behind the green also exploded, and dark green juice spurted out and spread all around.
"Huh." Yin Luka breathed a sigh of relief as he quickly dodged the dark green juice. If he had been attracted by the seemingly beautiful scene before and rushed over rashly, he might have been attacked by poisonous insects.
Although it won't kill you, it will definitely be uncomfortable. If you get injured and poisoned on the first day, the next five days will be difficult to endure.
After taking a sip of water, Yin Luka started to move forward.
This mountain was a strange place to him, but he was going to live in this strange place full of poisonous insects and monsters for six days, so necessary understanding was essential.
Although the condition for passing the test is to survive for six days and then reach the top of the mountain, Yin Luka is not planning to head for the top of the mountain on the first day.
Climbing a mountain may be difficult for ordinary people. Sometimes it takes half a day to climb a high mountain.
But for ninjas, as long as there are no obstacles, they can climb to the top of a mountain in just ten minutes.
This is why ninjas dominate the current ninja wars.
The war between great powers is the war between ninjas, that is, the war between great ninja villages.
No matter how hard you ordinary soldiers try, you can't keep up with the pace of the ninjas. Your mobility is completely on a different level.
Not to mention that every ninja is a little superman. If a ninja fights against an ordinary soldier, there will be no chance of success. The opponent is a person with super powers. There is no way they can defeat him.
On the surface, ninjas are very fragile, and ordinary people are not without a chance to defeat them, but the ninjas are only fragile to themselves.
Seeing those ninjas who can take on ninjutsu head-on and only get hurt will make you understand that ninjas appear fragile because the damage they deal is too high.
The ninja's kunai enhanced with chakra can easily cut through steel. Can its power be the same as that of a kunai wielded by an ordinary person
Not to mention that it is impossible for ordinary people to keep up with the reactions of ninjas, so it is really difficult to compare the two.
From this point of view, the ninja war is a war between people with super powers involving more than tens of thousands of people, so it is not wrong to call it the Ninja World War.
Yin Luka first explored the area within one thousand meters around him and cleared out all the poisonous insects he saw.
However, along the way, he did not encounter the monster that Nagase described.
But Yin Luka was not surprised. Yongze also said that the deeper you go into the mountains, the more monsters there are. His current location is still in the outer layer, so it is normal that he cannot encounter any monsters.
This is also the reason why Yin Luka did not attack the top of the mountain on the first day.
Not to mention the two out-of-round players, Kabuto and Itachi, just Gekko Gale Uchiha Isamu will probably just rush to the top of the mountain on the first day.
If they could clear out some of the monsters, it would be easier for him to climb the mountain.
Yin Luka was not afraid that all the monsters would be killed and then he would fail the assessment because he did not hunt two monsters. Yongze said that there were so many monsters that even if everyone killed twenty, they would not be able to kill them all.
If Itachi and Kabuto, two perverts, had nothing better to do and went around looking for monsters to kill, he could only consider himself unlucky and come back next year.
However, based on his understanding of the two, they were not such boring people and would not feel that this was a thankless task.
“If I pass the test, my parents will probably be very happy too.” Thinking of this, Yin Luka smiled.
He does not have a prominent family like Itachi, who is not the eldest son of a wealthy family in Konoha, nor does he have a brother who is a high-ranking official.
His parents were both ordinary Konoha jonin, without any special titles.
But Yin Luka is already very satisfied, he feels very happy. You know, there are people whose parents are Chunin, and even whose parents are ordinary people.
Compared to those people, his parents can provide him with a lot of help on the path of becoming a ninja.
Even though his parents didn't know breathing techniques, they knew something about physical skills, and they also had some ninja experience.
… … …
After entering the mountains, Itachi and Kabuto did not separate, but continued to stay together.
Of course, with their strength, they definitely won't need to resort to shortcuts to pass the assessment.
If even they cannot pass the test, then Nagase's test may be directly used as a jonin test.
Of course, there is no such thing as a jonin examination.
The jonin are considered the backbone of the village, and there are not many of them even in Konoha.
Of course, different ninja villages have different standards for jonin. The jonin of a small ninja village cannot compare to the jonin of the five major ninja villages.
There is no such thing as a jonin examination for jonin, and every jonin's promotion is approved by the Hokage himself.
For example, the reason why Minato kept assigning S-level tasks to Nagase, and sometimes even splitting a long-term S-level task into several tasks, was because he was afraid that if he promoted Nagase to a jonin, it would cause gossip, and he wanted to make Nagase's resume look better.
Otherwise, if you let a person who has only done some D-level, C-level, and not even much B-level work be promoted to a jonin, it would be difficult to convince the people, especially since the power transfer had just begun at that time, Minato did not have much power, and Danzo was always keeping an eye on Minato.
The reason why he wanted to stay with Itachi was actually because Itachi was about to leave to travel around the Land of Fire, and Kabuto felt a little reluctant to let him go.
They had known each other for a long time. At that time, Kabuto had just moved out of the orphanage and lived in Nagase's house not long ago. Kabuto went to the river and met Itachi because of his water escape technique.
The two people who had been in opposition and fighting in the original plot unexpectedly had a common language during this period.
The two hit it off immediately and quickly became friends. Now, they have been together for three years.
Although it was only three years, Itachi occupied a large place in Kabuto's life, because Kabuto actually had no memory of the previous few years. Nono found Kabuto in the ruins after the war. He thought he had lost his memory due to a head injury and his eyes were also damaged.
So Itachi should actually be considered the first close friend that Kabuto has ever remembered. It's not that he doesn't like the brothers and sisters in the orphanage, but it's really hard for him to describe that feeling. Itachi is different.
This was different from the feeling Nagase and the dean gave him, but there was no doubt that if Itachi disappeared from his life one day, Kabuto felt that he would be very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.
The two men were walking in the dense forest, occasionally forming hand seals and releasing ninjutsu to eliminate the hidden poisonous insects. Suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a green figure flew over.
"Water Style: Water Array Wall!" Kabuto reacted very quickly and formed seals quickly. A large amount of water suddenly rushed out from the ground, forming a circular protective shield that protected him and Itachi.
Bang!
A snake head half the size of their bodies slammed heavily onto the wall of the water array, causing a wave.
Itachi narrowed his eyes slightly. The hand holding the hilt suddenly burst out with strength, a large amount of chakra also poured into the palm, and the rhythm of his breathing suddenly changed.
Swish!
A silver light flashed, and a thin line of blood appeared on the snake's head.
The next moment, with a loud bang, the green-scaled snake instantly split into two halves, the blood in its body gushed out, and its heavy body fell to the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust.
Seeing that the green-scaled snake had lost its vitality, Dou cancelled the water array wall.
Itachi took the knife and walked towards the green-scaled snake. A bead had been placed in the monster's body in advance. The bead had to be taken out after the monster was killed. When the test was over, it would be calculated. One bead would be counted as killing one monster.
In other words, in order to pass the test, you must have at least two beads.
When Itachi was taking the bead, suddenly, there was a huge roar, and a monster with thick black hair suddenly rushed out, moving quickly among the trees.
At this time, Dou took action. He picked up the knife and waved it gently, and a large amount of water splashed around him.
The black-haired monster was stunned for a moment, then suddenly jumped onto a tree and started attacking the tree crazily.
Of course, this wasn’t because the black-haired monster was afraid that they wouldn’t dare to come up, so it vented its anger on a tree.
Just now, Kabuto used the Water Breathing Sword Technique modified by Kosuke from Konoha Ryūryu, which can cause visual deception to the opponent.
In the eyes of the black-haired monster at this moment, the big tree that was being madly attacked by him was Itachi.
Swish!
While the black-haired monster was attacking the tree crazily, Dou slashed out with a water-blue slash, instantly cutting off the black-haired monster's head.
The black-haired monster's head suddenly flew up like a volleyball, and gray-red blood splattered all over the place. The sturdy body without its head fell to the ground with a rumbling sound.
After making sure the surroundings were safe, Kou went forward to look for the beads and took them out.
"Although these monsters don't seem to have much intelligence, they don't seem to attack each other. It's okay if we encounter one, but if we encounter multiple at the same time, it might be difficult to deal with them." After taking the beads, Dou walked back to Itachi and said.
Of course, the difficult ones he mentioned were those who were taking the test with them. For Dou, people of this level could be killed one by one with one sword.
"Well, after all, it's an assessment for formal members. The difficulty is reasonable. If you don't have the corresponding strength, mistakes will occur when you do missions in the future." Itachi nodded and said.
The two of them packed up briefly and continued heading towards the top of the mountain.
They will obtain enough beads to pass the test on the first day, and then just have to wait for the time to end at the top of the mountain.
Considering their strength, this is naturally no problem.
Whether they attacked individually or together, no one could stop the two.
At most, five monsters attacked them at one time, but this only wasted a little more of their time.
Although they had obtained enough beads to pass the test, the two still took out all the beads from the bodies of the monsters they killed.
It's not about preparing to take them all out at the end of the exam to win everyone's cheers.
I simply feel that if someone who originally does not have enough strength to pass the test is allowed to pass, he or she may be sacrificed in the mission due to lack of strength.
It would be better if they spent one more minute to dig out the beads.
