I'm Sasuke

puff

As Ark's figure flashed, the dagger in his right hand instantly stabbed Orochimaru's head as he rushed over. Then he pulled down hard and immediately split Orochimaru's head in two.

ah.

Orochimaru immediately screamed, and his body on the tree trunk fell heavily to the ground.

"Is he dead?" Naruto and Sakura, who were watching the battle between Ark and Orochimaru and couldn't get involved at all, saw the body of the terrifying man lying on the ground and swallowed at the same time.

Asked.

Naruto and Sakura never thought that in the second round of the Chunin Exam, they would encounter such a terrifying enemy, especially the opponent's neck, which could be extended and contracted at will.

At this time, Ark, Naruto, and Sakura were conducting the second Chunin Exam at Konoha's 44th Training Ground, also known as the Forest of Death.

When the three of them arrived at Room 01 of the Ninja School at the time Kakashi told them, Kakashi officially confirmed that the three of them had joined this Chunin Exam.

This chunin exam is different from the usual chunin exams held in Konoha. It is a chunin exam that must be taken in groups of three. Unlike the usual exams in the village, one person can also take part.

From the number of people who participated in the Chunin Examination, we can see the strength gap between the five major Ninja Villages and the small and medium-sized Ninja Villages such as Rain Ninja Village and Grass Ninja Village. There were eighty-seven people in Konoha who participated in the Chunin Examination, except for the Konoha Ten

Except for the nine people from Er Xiaoqiang who took the Chuunin Exam in their first year, the rest are all ninjas who have graduated for more than two years, and some of them took it more than once.

Of course, people like Kabuto Yakushi who take the Chunin Exam for the seventh time are unique. Generally speaking, if you take the Chunin Exam four times and fail to become a Chunin, you will rarely take the Chunin Exam again. Most of them will.

He was promoted to chunin through other means.

Yakushi Kabuto is just pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

Eighty-seven people from Konoha, thirty people from Suna Ninja Village, twenty-one people from Rain Ninja Village, six people from Kusanagi Ninja Village, six people from Taki Ninja Village, and three people from Sound Ninja Village. These are all the people who participated in this Chunin Exam.

Number of people.

This time the chunin is a local war to promote the strength of each ninja village. In fact, many people know that in general it is a confrontation between Konoha Village and Suna Ninja Village. The genin of other ninja villages are just cannon fodder.

Therefore, the number of people they sent over was not only small, but they were also thorns in the village. They were the kind of candidates whose grandma wouldn't care for their uncle, and they wouldn't feel bad if they died, but it wouldn't matter if they survived.

Just look at the individual competition of the second Chunin Exam and you will know that, except for the three people from the Sound Ninja Village, the rest are either from Konoha or Suna Ninja. The third Chunin Exam is purely between Konoha and Suna Ninja.

contest.

It has to be said that Payne from the Rain Ninja Village is really big-hearted. Even though he knew that he was going to die, he sent twenty-one people. This number of people surprised even the top management of Konoha. Originally, the top management of Konoha also thought that the Rain Ninja Village would

The number of people is about the same as that of Kusanoin Village and Takinin Village.

Of course, not many people now really know that Pain is in charge of Rain Ninja Village. In the eyes of many people, Rain Ninja Village is still led by Sanshouyu Hanzo, but there are just rebel ninjas with considerable influence in the village.

They never imagined that at this time, Sanshouyu Hanzo might have died in the hands of Pain's Six Paths.

Before the start of the first written examination, Kabuto Yakushi performed as usual in front of Fang Zhou and others, a performance that should win the Little Golden Man Award. At the same time, it also highlighted the strength of the three people in the Oto Ninja Village.

Fang Zhou just watched Yakushi Kabuto's performance quietly from the side without any intervention.

The examiner for the first exam is, as always, the head of the ANBU Torture Department, Morino Ihiki. Since the Joint Chuunin Examination is being held in Konoha, Konoha will certainly not be perfunctory and will definitely conduct the most rigorous examination.

I have to say that Ibiki is worthy of being the head of the torture department. He has a deep understanding of human psychology. The ten questions he asked directly torture the heart. Anyone who is not mentally stable will not dare to answer the tenth question.

Those who answer incorrectly will never become chuunin. For many genin, it is too cruel. Not to mention the improvement in strength, the loss of money alone makes many people afraid to gamble.

For ordinary people, ninja is a profession with high income. To them, becoming Hokage and world peace are not as real as their monthly salary.

Not every village has people who are willing to become genin for ten thousand years.

In the Joint Chuunin Examination, saying that you will never become a Chuunin is not to scare people. This will be recorded in your personal information. Unless the village you live in is destroyed, you can't stand up.

If Naruto hadn't made a heroic declaration that infected everyone else, it's hard to say how many people would have been left behind in the end.

I have to say that people are really easily encouraged. It is a difficult question to choose between being a coward for a lifetime or a hero for a few minutes.

But under Naruto's heroic declaration, if you quit now, you will be different from those who quit before. The person who quit before can't stand the pressure of Ibiki, and if you quit later, you will be a coward.

Especially when most of the remaining ninjas are Konoha's ninjas, this is the Chunin Examination being held in Konoha. With Naruto making such a declaration, you are disgracing Konoha by withdrawing.

.

So Naruto passed the first exam with zero points. Afterwards, Ibiki was really surprised when he saw Naruto's vision. The first exam was not a test of Genin knowledge, but a test of Genin gathering intelligence.

capable.

In fact, several of the questions were beyond the standard. Except for top academics like Sakura, few could really do them all. Even Ark couldn't do three questions.

So in the first exam, everyone showed off their special skills and cheated through various means. Of course, all the left-arm methods were visible to the surrounding invigilators.

In a classroom, surrounded by Chuunin, and Ibiki was a Jounin, it was impossible to hide from these people.

Fang Zhou's choice was quite satisfactory. He wrote the answers honestly and did not leave a blank test paper like Naruto. Even when he saw Ibiki as the examiner, he knew that he could pass the test with a blank paper.

As the first exam ended, Mitarai Red Earth, the examiner of the second exam, appeared, and then everyone came to the 44th training ground. The huge forest with a diameter of ten kilometers is one of the top three huge exercises in Konoha.

field.

Everyone didn't even have time to eat. If you want to eat, you can go find it in the forest of death.

For ninjas, the area of ​​the Death Forest is not very large, and it does not take much time to walk through it completely, but what is difficult is to capture one of the scrolls of heaven and earth from other groups.

The second ninja exam is a real actual battle, life or death.

When Ark and the three of them entered the Forest of Death, it was getting dark soon. At Ark's suggestion, the three of them decided to rest for one night and grab a Tianzi Scroll from another group tomorrow, and then go to the middle of the Forest of Death.

Tower handover mission.

What Class 7 got in their hands was a scroll with the word "地".

But just when Ark was keeping vigil at night, the enemy appeared. Orochimaru, the enemy Ark had long expected, attacked the three of them. Orochimaru had appeared in front of Ark long before entering the forest of death.

With the iconic evil look of a kunai in his tongue, Ark knew who he was at the first sight, and Orochimaru was actually hidden in the ranks of the Kusanagi Village.

Also in the team of Cao Ninja Village, Fang Zhou also discovered a person, Xiang Lu. At this time, Xiang Lu was a little girl similar to him, who looked unusually timid.

I have to say that the people of Kusanagi Village were very lucky, or it should be said that because of their abilities, the six genin of Kusunin Village were not eliminated in the first round.

Maybe it's because the phosphorus is still small, or maybe Orochimaru's attention is all on Ark at this time. Orochimaru doesn't seem to notice the special features of the phosphorus. Of course, it's more likely that he has, but it's very likely that he has.

It is obvious that the Sharingan attracts Orochimaru's attention more than the special features of Karin.

Orochimaru attacked the three people from Ark with the appearance of the Grass Ninja Village. The superficial reason was very simple, in order to grab the scroll in the hands of the three people.

Seeing Orochimaru appear, Ark immediately asked Naruto and Sakura to alert Orochimaru's other two companions, asking them to be careful around them, while he went up to fight.

The fight with Orochimaru made Fang Zhou understand who Kabuto Yakushi learned his acting skills from. Orochimaru was the real actor. He did not have the real strength of an animal at all and could fight him with the strength of a genin.

Only at the last moment, when he wanted to leave a curse mark on his body, did he reveal his strength beyond that of a genin. That suddenly stretched neck, terrifying face, and fangs. If it were Sasuke from the original work, he would definitely be able to

A curse mark was left on Orochimaru's body, but unfortunately, Ark had been paying attention to Orochimaru's movements.

When his strength exploded, Ark also exploded. The dagger tied to his leg immediately appeared in his hand, giving Orochimaru a fatal blow. It should be said that Orochimaru's body was fatal.

This short sword is a weapon that Ark bought only. His opponent is Orochimaru. Ark doesn't dare to be careless at all. Ark doesn't want to expose his Nianqi skills for the time being. At least he won't be exposed until the death of the Third Hokage and Danzo.

If you have abilities in this area, then the only thing that can be exposed is swordsmanship.

If it were just a pure Naruto world, Ark might risk letting Orochimaru leave a curse mark. Although being engraved with a curse mark by Orochimaru is equivalent to one of his spare containers, the curse mark can greatly improve his strength.

, the curse seal is a simplified immortal mode.

As one of the three ninjas, Orochimaru is actually quite pitiful because he doesn't know the sage mode of the three major psychic holy places. Jiraiya and Tsunade both know their own sage mode.

Immortal mode is formed by absorbing natural energy and merging it with the energy in one's own body. Whether it is mind energy or Taoism's Harmony of Light and Dust, the same is true for the subsequent cultivation methods of the Yin and Yang School.

Therefore, the Curse Seal has no attraction at all for Ark. With the Immortal Mode, using the Curse Seal is putting the cart before the horse.

For people in this world, practicing celestial arts is actually the real cultivation. Why the first Hokage was so powerful was not because he practiced celestial arts.

Immortal magic is the foundation of the power of this world. Why is the Sage of Six Paths so powerful? It’s not because he practiced senjutsu. Kaguya Otsutsuki is amazing. The ancestor of chakra was sealed by the Sage of Six Paths in the end.

Speaking of which, the Great Toad Immortal Toadmaru was the first creature to learn magic.

But Orochimaru is Orochimaru. Although he doesn't know magic, he used Jugo to develop such pseudo-magic things as curse seals. He really deserves to be the number one scientist in the Naruto world.

It has to be said that the world is so big and full of wonders that people born with magical powers can exist.

How many people turned into stone statues in order to practice immortal arts can be known from the number of stone statues in Miaomu Mountain, Shigu Forest, and Ryongchi Cave.

However, this does not mean that those who practice senjutsu are necessarily better than those who practice chakra. Jugo was born with senjutsu, but his strength is still the same. Jiraiya senjutsu has not died in the hands of Pain's Six Paths.

It can only be said that the starting point for practicing senjutsu is a little higher. Why Naruto's sage mode is so powerful is because of the amount of senjutsu chakra in Naruto's body.

It is very dangerous to absorb the power of nature with human power. Not to mention the world of Naruto, even the continent of Arad and the world of Qin Shi.

Although as long as you pass the first level and you can introduce natural energy into your body, there will be no problem with subsequent cultivation. Unfortunately, most people fail at this level.

Turning into a stone statue, being assimilated by thoughts, or becoming possessed by evil spirits, no matter which of them, is not a good outcome.

"Come out, Orochimaru-sama. As one of the three ninjas of Konoha and one of the two S-level rebellious ninjas of Konoha, it doesn't match your identity to hide." He looked at Orochimaru's body on the ground.

For a long time, there was no movement in the forest, and Fang Zhou couldn't help but speak.

"Hey, it's really strange that you actually knew it was me." As Fang Zhou finished speaking, Orochimaru's body on the ground began to squirm, and another Orochimaru emerged from the body.

Orochimaru Stand Style, although it looks very disgusting, it has to be said that it is a very practical ninjutsu. This is a Stand Technique that can perfectly avoid even Itachi's Amaterasu flames.

Konoha's two great S-level rebellious ninjas, Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi.

"One of the Three Ninjas of Konoha, how is this possible?" Sakura on the side looked at Orochimaru who emerged from the corpse, with a look of shock and fear on his face and shouted.

"Who are the Sannin of Konoha?" Naruto asked in confusion.

"He is the strongest ninja in Konoha. It is said that he is only inferior to the Hokage." Regarding Orochimaru, Sakura saw it when she was checking Konoha's S-class rebel ninja Uchiha Itachi.

Because of the Ark, Sakura studied a lot of information about the Uchiha clan.

"You are such a famous person, how could I not know about it? Orochimaru-sama has been wanted for so many years and now he is homesick." Fang Zhou looked at Orochimaru and sneered.

Orochimaru is a very dangerous person, but also a very valuable person, especially the science he studies, which is unique in this world.

In addition, Orochimaru was very cunning and Itachi had such a powerful plan. In the end, Orochimaru was not resurrected. Although it was Sasuke who was resurrected in the end, Orochimaru would definitely return even without Sasuke.

Not to mention that Mitarashi Anko has a curse mark on her body. There are so many people in the entire Naruto world. Who knows how many curse marks Orochimaru has left behind. Each curse mark is a backup method for Orochimaru's resurrection.

Such a person cannot be killed at all, at least Ark cannot be killed currently, so he has not thought about killing Orochimaru completely. (To be continued)
