Naruto: Talent entry, starting with Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 58 She has the same ability as me
2:40 p.m.

Izayoi and Hinata first went to the old place to meet up with Aburame Shino, and then came to the outside of Konoha's 44th training ground.

Konoha's 44th Training Ground, also known as the Death Forest, is one of the few training grounds in Konoha that is not open unless under special circumstances. It is also one of Konoha's forbidden areas.

The invigilators had already set up sheds and tents outside, and there was a sign indicating a meeting point.

Although there were still twenty minutes before the exam started, Class 8 was not the first candidate to arrive.

A large number of candidates were already standing in the open space.

There are at least a dozen groups of three.

In the next ten minutes, more and more candidates arrived and the open space became crowded.

"Hey, Izayoi, you guys came so early."

"Long time no see, Izayoi-kun, Hinata."

"Long time no see, Minako."

Since Class 8 was standing on the periphery, Class 7 and Class 10, who had just arrived, saw them at a glance.

In addition, another team also came over, which was Team 6 where Inuzuka Kiba was.

"Have you heard? Among the ten teams in our class, it seems that only the twelve of us were recognized by the guiding jonin, and the others were eliminated." Minako said.

Hinata was slightly surprised and asked, "Have all the other students returned to school to retake the course?"

"Two teams have returned to school to retake classes, and the others have been specially recruited by other departments. A few students seemed to have suffered some setbacks and chose to drop out." Minako sighed, "Becoming a formal ninja doesn't seem to be a good thing. We went on a C-rank mission last month and were almost killed by the enemy's poisonous smoke. Luckily, Akamaru saved me."

"Come on, you will definitely become stronger." Hinata could only encourage.

After all, Class 8 is a perception class, and her Byakugan has been upgraded to the point where she can see things within a radius of more than 20 kilometers. She may never experience this feeling in her lifetime.

"I heard that the Death Forest is a forbidden area of ​​Konoha. This exam is likely to be a wilderness survival test. There might even be a competition between the candidates." Uchiha Sasuke challenged him as usual. "If that's the case, you better be careful. Don't let me eliminate you."

Izayoi frowned slightly, put his fingers to his nose, leaned back slightly and said, "Have you been drinking?"

"No, I'm only 12 years old." Uchiha Sasuke shook his head. Seeing Izayoi's disgusted look, he almost couldn't help but smell his clothes to see if there was really a smell of alcohol.

But Izayoi's next words made his face flush instantly: "Oh, I thought you were still hungover and talking in your sleep."

"puff……"

"Hahaha……"

Inuzuka Kiba and Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Well, just wait and see."

Uchiha Sasuke folded his arms and looked tsundere again.

No one, including Uchiha Sasuke, noticed that the current Uchiha Sasuke had changed a lot compared to the five years after he entered the ninja school.

It's like... back to first grade.

Looking at the Xiaoqiangs who were talking and laughing, a large number of candidates immediately turned their eyes over.

After seeing the forehead protectors on them and their appearance, some candidates from small ninja villages were filled with fear.

After all, among these twelve people, eight of them are not easy to deal with.

Among them, there is a chief student who has the power to overpower the future heirs of the major ninja clans.

There are also heirs to the three major sensory ninja clans: the Hyuga, Aburame, and Inuzuka clans.

As well as the orphans of the Uchiha clan, and the new generation of Ino-Shika-Cho.

Either they are civilian geniuses, or they are the owners of bloodline limits and secret techniques.

When they grow up, they might be the ones calling the shots in Konoha.

Judging from their appearance, they seem to have a very good relationship.

When I meet them in the second exam, I have to run away.

A small number of candidates thought to themselves that this was the case. There were also quite a few candidates who had their eyes on Izayoi and the others, thinking that killing the heirs of the ninja clan on Konoha's home turf would be a good idea.

Among them was a gaze full of greed, staring at the arrogant Uchiha Sasuke, almost unable to help sticking out his long tongue.

There was also a red-haired girl who was also looking at Hinata and the other girls.

Looking at Hinata, who was dressed gorgeously and had a noble temperament, and Sakura Haruno and Yamanaka Ino, who looked spoiled, Karin's eyes were full of envy.

Is this the female Genin from the Great Ninja Village?
At this moment, Karin seemed to have noticed something and couldn't help but look in the direction she felt.

I saw a young man in a white robe standing next to the girl in kimono, looking at her with a smile on his face.

Looking at that handsome face and gentle smile, Karin, who was seeing such a handsome boy for the first time, suddenly felt her cheeks turn as red as her hair color. She turned her head away evasively, but soon she couldn't help but secretly look at the boy.

"Izayoi-kun, are you looking at that female Kusanagi?" Hinata couldn't help but ask when she saw the adulterer.

"Ah."

Izayoi nodded, readily admitting it, and whispered, "She has the same ability as me."

Hearing this, Hinata's expression changed slightly, and she stared into Izayoi's eyes without saying a word.

"That's not it." Izayoi laughed, "That's the one you and Hanabi always use."

Hinata was slightly stunned, and then looked at Karin who was secretly looking at Izayoi again.

When he saw the girl's eyes meet hers, he immediately looked away like a frightened rabbit, and never dared to peek again, secretly guessing in his heart.

Could she be one of Izayoi-kun's clansmen?
Kusagakure Village seems to be right next to the Land of Fire. Could it be that Izayoi-kun's ancestors came from that land?

"All candidates, please line up and sign the death consent form. The second exam will begin soon."

The time soon came to three o'clock in the afternoon.

Since the little strong men were all standing on the periphery of the team, there was no episode in the original novel where Uzumaki Naruto provoked Mitarashi Anko and then was taught a lesson by the latter, nor was there the episode of the master and apprentice "reuniting".

All candidates stood in several rows and lined up to sign the death consent form. Then the team leader entered the tent next to the shed, received one of the scrolls of heaven and earth, and was led by the invigilator to the exclusive entrance.

On the way, the invigilator also explained to them the rules of the second exam.

Just as Uchiha Sasuke said, the second exam is wilderness survival, and the exam time is 120 hours, or five days.

Within five days, they must gather all the scrolls of heaven and earth and reach the central tower of the Death Forest.

If you exceed the time limit or fail to collect all the scrolls of heaven and earth, you will not be able to enter the central tower and will be eliminated directly.

If you open the scroll out of curiosity, you will be eliminated on the spot.

After explaining the rules, the invigilator stood in front of the iron gate of the team's exclusive entrance, waiting for the announcement to sound.

"White eyes—open!"

Hinata made a "no seal" with her hands, and veins bulged on both sides of her temples.

After a few seconds, she spoke up, "Our entrance is 8. The teams at entrances 7 and 9 all have scrolls of earth."

"It's okay. There are 24 teams in this exam, and there are 12 Heavenly Scrolls in total. Even if we don't take the initiative to attack, prey will come to us."

Izayoi glanced at the scroll in his hand, which had the word "Earth" written on it.

Hinata said solemnly, "There's someone in the team at Entrance 7 whose chakra is very strong."

"Oh? Who is he?"

Izayoi, who hadn't opened the Samsara Eye, said with interest.

"I don't know, but... he was wearing a Sand Ninja forehead protector and carrying a gourd on his back." Hinata described the other person's characteristics.

"Sasuke seemed to have mentioned this person yesterday." Aburame Shino said calmly, "Anyone who can be remembered by Sasuke must not be a simple person."

"Yeah, he's a powerful guy." Izayoi smiled and nodded.
