Traveling through Naruto with Heroes of Might and Magic.

Soon after, they stopped in a swamp.

"Nobody's here." Hongdou looked around.

Qingwu looked amusedly at a small patch of swamp in the middle of the woodland.

His natural senses allow him to clearly "see" the chakra reactions underwater.

"They were underwater, breathing through reed tubes."

Qingwu stood on the shore and said calmly, "Iruka, find a way to 'bomb' them out."

Iruka understood immediately and accurately threw the kunai with the explosive tag at the spot Qingwu was pointing to.

"boom!"

Mud splashed everywhere, and three disheveled figures leaped out of the swamp.

"Damn it, those guys from Konoha!"

"How did they find us?!"

"Split up and run!"

The Rain Ninja Squad wants to split up and operate separately.

Qingwu laughed heartily.

A dozen or so centaurs rushed out of the forest and forced the three Rain Ninjas back.

"Iruka!" Red Bean called out.

Iruka, his face tense, charged forward with a kunai in hand.

1v3...

That's impossible.

But the Rain Ninja discovered that as long as they didn't gang up on each other, the other two Konoha ninjas also wouldn't make a move.

The battle naturally turned into a 1v1 tag-team match.

Iruka has a good foundation in all aspects, his taijutsu has improved a lot, and with his skillful use of ninja tools, he can still gain the upper hand in a 1v1.

This is the foundation of the Great Ninja Village.

Although he was unable to continue after defeating the two Rain Ninja, his injuries and chakra depletion prevented him from continuing.

But the performance was already excellent enough.

Red Bean knocked out the last Rain Ninja and found the scroll.

Qingwu stretched out his hand, "Palm Immortal Technique!"

He shouted something incoherently, and the blue-green [Healing] spell healed Iruka's wounds.

"You also know medical ninjutsu."

After her initial surprise, Mitarashi Anko silently memorized the "new" ability that Seigo had displayed, preparing to report it to her teacher after she left.

"They are strong in combat and also have a great sense of teamwork."

In front of the crystal ball, the Third Hokage happily wrote comments. In Konoha, the bonds between the younger generation were what he was most pleased to see.

At the same time, Qingwu also underwent another upgrade.

【Ding! 】

[Level +1, gain attribute points: Attack +1, Defense +1]

After more than a dozen consecutive "battles," he has leveled up 3 times, reaching level 7.

The greatest benefit of campaign settlement and upgrades is his natural energy and the growth of his four-dimensional attributes, which have a direct impact on troop types.

"Let's move on to the next wave!"

With Qingwu's help in treating Iruka,

As long as Iruka has enough chakra, he can continuously engage in actual combat with genin from other villages.

The effects of actual combat are incomparable to those of training.

Iruka experienced the two days of the fastest progress in his life.

The third day of the exam.

As dawn broke, the Qingwu team had already approached the tower area.

This place is already deep in the Death Forest.

The results of their two-day "hunt" were that their team eliminated half of the total number of examinee teams.

"We have less than three days left, so we'll lie in ambush at the tower."

Hongdou said excitedly, "When we get out and find out that only we passed the exam, it will definitely shock everyone."

'The teacher will definitely praise me too,' she thought to herself.

Qingwu observed his surroundings without saying a word.

He originally thought that the team's "crazy" actions would alarm the higher-ups in Konoha.

But so far, no one has appeared before them.

Who cares? If we're going to make a name for ourselves, let's go big.

Blocking everyone's "doors" is a good idea!

"East!"

He suddenly pointed east, and the centaur imbued with natural energy acted as his "eyes," once again detecting movement.

"Hurry up!"

Another prey has appeared! Red Bean leaps forward first...

Chapter 43 Takigakure Ninja, Iwagakure Ninja, Murder!

at the same time.

A clearing in the woodland.

The three-man team of Takigakure ninja was surrounded by six Iwa ninja.

Takishinobu's voice trembled as he said:

"We've already given you the scroll, why won't you let us go?"

"Hehe~!" The leader of the Iwa ninja stroked his unusually large beard, a rarity among the genin examinees. "Tell me the location of Takigakure, and I'll let you go."

"Don't even think about it!" Shemu gritted his teeth and refused, his hand gripping the explosive tag tightly.

Located between the Fire and Earth nations, Takigakure's survival depends on its seclusion.

As a buffer zone between the two great powers, Iwagakure has wanted to control Takigakure for a long time, and Shibuki certainly knows the consequences of exposing their location.

"Humph!"

The bearded Iwa snorted coldly: "I can tell your two guards are quite strong, but we have a total of six people."

As they spoke, the Iwa ninja surrounded them, ready to attack.

"Konoha will not let you get away with this!"

Takigakure and Konoha are allies, so Shibuki can only issue a weak and ineffective threat at this moment.

At this moment, he was already prepared to die. Once the explosive tags in his hand were triggered, they would be enough to ruin the plans of the Iwa ninja.

however……

"Earth Escape·Yellow Spring Marsh!"

The bearded Iwa ninja used a long-prepared Earth Release technique, causing Shibuki to lose his balance.

The explosive tag fell onto the swamp.

By the time he tried to pick it up, it was too late.

"Kill the other two Takigakure guards, but spare him."

The bearded Iwa ninja directed his teammates' actions while continuously channeling chakra into the area, maintaining control of the 'Swamp of the Dead'.

The battle ended quickly.

The two Water Ninja guards were quite skilled in Water Release ninjutsu, but the Earth Release of the Rock Ninja was a perfect counter.

Moreover, it was a case of more players fighting fewer.

Seeing his guards fall in pools of blood, Shibuki, who was stuck in the mud, gritted his teeth.

"Alright, now it's just you left."

The bearded Iwa ninja grinned maliciously, "I have countless ways to make you talk. Now, let me see how tight your mouth is—huh?"

Sensing the wind, the bearded Iwatobi instinctively looked up.

"Ninja Technique: Hidden Shadow Multi-Snake Hand!"

The red beans burst open.

He recognized both of their headbands.

Born into a ninja family, she knew that Takigakure was an ally of Konoha, so she immediately unleashed her ultimate move in the face of this situation.

More giant pythons than the Hidden Shadow Serpent Hands flew out from her two arms.

In an instant, they entangled all the Iwa ninja.

"open!"

The bearded Iwa ninja was quite strong and temporarily broke free from control.

Immediately afterwards...

Whoosh, whoosh!

Qingwu and Iruka landed on the ground.
