The lush forest gave off an ancient and heavy aura. The crisscrossing branches were like towering trees that supported the sky, showing off its antiquity to the world. From time to time, birds chirped, adding a little vitality. It was as if all history was engraved in this forest. Everyone, everything, was witnessed by it, making everything seem so pale and powerless in front of nature.
When they arrived at the location, Red Bean turned around and said to the examinees," This is the location of the second round of the exam. Drill Ground No. 44 is also known as the 'Forest of Death'."
Sakura looked at the forest." This place is so scary." She subconsciously looked at Sasuke and calmed down.
"You must fight for your survival in this limited area. That is, you can use your personal weapons and ninjutsu. You can use any means to fight for the scroll!”Red Bean began to explain the rules to them." You must fight for the two scrolls, the Book of Heaven and the Book of Earth. There are 48 people here, which means 16 groups. Eight groups will take the Book of Heaven, and the other eight groups will take the Book of Earth.”
"The condition to pass is for a group of three to report to the tall tower in the middle of the drill ground with the Heaven and Earth Scrolls! The time limit is five days."
"Five days? What if I'm hungry?" Ding Ci seemed to only care about eating.
"You have to be self-sufficient! This forest is a treasure trove of wild animals. You must be careful of wild beasts, poisonous insects, and poisonous grass.”Red Bean said patiently. "Not only will you be injured in this scroll battle, but some of you will even lose your lives! In addition, we have stipulated that after the exam begins, no one is allowed to give up and leave. You must stay in the forest for the next five days!”
"One last piece of advice-don't die in there!”
With a flash, all the examinees entered the forest one after another and began their examination.
"Naruto, are you okay? Your face looks so pale. Do you want to rest first?”Sakura listened to the screams around her and tightly grabbed Naruto's sleeve.
"That's right. Are you okay? You're last. Do you want to rest first? If you faint again, I won't care about you anymore. You can't be a burden when the time comes…"
"No need, I'm fine. I've already rested for a while. I'm fine now.”Naruto listened to Sasuke and Sakura's concern and smiled as he spoke. Suddenly, he heard a strange sound that made him feel very dangerous. He quickly pushed the two people beside him away.
" Not bad, little brat. Your reaction is quite fast. I'm very interested in you. You should be holding the Book of Heaven, right? I think you must really want the Book of Earth, and I happen to have it. Why don't we have a scroll battle…You guys have to be careful. I will fight for it with all my might…" Following the voice was a person with a long tongue. He had long black hair, a pale face, a piercing laugh, and a strange expression that emitted a dense killing intent.
With a thud, Xiao Ying fell to the ground. Tears kept falling from her eyes. Her entire body seemed to be in great pain as she kept trembling. It was so terrifying. She would die…We will die.
Sasuke was no longer able to care about Sakura and could only kneel on the ground and vomit. How could this be? Could it be…This is an illusion, not just an ordinary killing intent. Why did he see our deaths just by looking into his eyes? Who is he? Looking at the Kunai flying over, he could only quickly pull away Sakura, who was closest to him.
It was dangerous! This was Naruto's first reaction when he saw the person who had come. That powerful killing intent made people shudder. After seeing Sakura and Sasuke being attacked, he did not say anything and began to attack.
" Not bad, little brat. Your strength is not bad, but it seems that you still lack actual combat experience. I think your name is Uzumaki Naruto. Now, you should play with it first,'Psychic Technique'."
Naruto looked at the huge snake that suddenly appeared in front of him and was shocked. Seeing the huge snake's huge body knock Sakura away, he could only lure the snake away.
Sasuke watched Naruto lure the giant snake away. He took out Kuna and stabbed it at his thigh. He hid Sakura in the grass and focused on the person in front of him.
Hehe, this is not bad. He knows how to use pain to drive away his fear. As expected, he is a good prey.”
Snake-like movements, extraordinary ninjutsu…All of them were threatening to Sasuke. He concentrated all his energy and performed the ninjutsu he had learned. His spirit was already stretched to the limit. Oh no, he missed his step. Looking at the incoming attack, Sasuke closed his eyes and waited for the pain to come.
"To be able to easily use Shurunyan at such a young age, he is indeed the boy who inherited the surname Uchiha. But I still want you!" Orochimaru's neck instantly stretched out and bit Sasuke.
"Damn it, I can't move my body. It's a Stop spell!”Sasuke kept struggling.
"Stop, bastard, I'm going to kill you.”Naruto was furious when he saw the scene in front of him. The fallen leaves on the ground flew up without any wind and scattered in all directions. The faint and almost invisible marks on his face were now clearly revealed. The person who was about to attack suddenly heard that the person who should have been far away had appeared here. He could not help but turn around and look at the scene that was moving without wind. He felt a strange and familiar chakra. So that was it. It was the Nine Tails. No wonder it had passed since then…It had been twelve years, and the situation had become interesting.
"I didn't expect that nine-tailed brat to still be alive…Due to the intense emotional fluctuations, fragments of Nine-Tailed's memories appeared…Your growth was really interesting…I think that the seal has probably appeared now. I should give you something first…" I didn't expect that the spirit of this kid named Naruto could already resonate with Nine-Tailed. But now, he is just an obstacle. It is better to carry out the next plan. It is almost time for Muye's people to discover it.
"Ichigo, do you want to help? The person in front of you made you very angry, didn't he? As long as you give me your body, I can help you.”A cold voice sounded in Naruto's mind.
"Who are you? If I give you my body, you can defeat him. Also, my name is Naruto now.”Naruto replied while dodging the attack.
"Yes, my name is Bai Qi. I am you, and you are me!”
"Alright, I'll give you my body. Help me save Sasuke and Sakura.”
"Good! I will help you!"
At this moment, Naruto slowly began to change. His originally golden hair slowly turned white, and his blue eyes slowly turned golden. He also exuded an evil aura. Even his originally sunny smile had disappeared. Now, his face was filled with mockery of everything in the world. Orochimaru looked at the person in front of him and felt that everything was insignificant in front of him. He felt like he wanted to escape.
"I'm finally out. So it's like this outside.”White Naruto said slowly.
"Who are you? If you're not that brat, are you Nine-Tailed? Has the seal weakened?" Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue and said.
"Who is that weak idiot fox? I am Naruto. Do you want to fight me? Do you have the ability to defeat me?"
When Orochimaru saw that Naruto was extremely powerful, he could not help but want to take him under his wing. "Do you want to come to my place? I'll give you great power.”Orochimaru began to seduce Naruto.
"Weak human, you don't have the qualifications to make me go to your place.”
"Orochimaru, it is indeed you…" When Red Bean arrived, she saw Orochimaru confronting Quan Bai's men. There were also two people lying on the ground.
“... Red beans…I have a child I want…Because he was a young man who inherited the bloodline of the Uchiha clan…He's very suitable to be my heir…Don't let this exam be interrupted. Just let us enjoy ourselves. If you dare to interfere with my plan to enjoy ourselves, I'll make your Kiba Shinobu Village disappear into thin air."
"Weak human, I'm warning you. If you dare to harm anything here,'I' will not let you off. " Naruto put his hand on his body and said.
Orochimaru wanted to escape after hearing Naruto's words. Before he escaped, he left a message: "Sasuke will come for me. He's the Avenger!”
When Red Bean saw Orochimaru, she seemed to be very afraid of the person in front of her. However, the person in front of her gave off an evil feeling, even more evil than Nine Tails. "Who are you? Are you Nine-Tailed? Are you Naruto Uzumaki?"
"Weak humans, why do you always say that I'm that weak and useless idiot fox? I'm Naruto, Naruto is me. It's not that I want to help you, but Naruto likes Koba. I'm just helping my king.”Naruto walked to Sasuke and Sakura's side and carried them away. As he walked, he said,""Don't think of hurting Naruto. Naruto's body is mine, and only I can kill Naruto. If you want to hurt Naruto, I will make your souls disappear from this world.”
Red Bean felt a chill from the bottom of her heart when she heard Naruto's words.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Naruto's office, the third-generation successor sat behind his desk and asked Red Bean," Are you sure you saw Orochimaru?“
"Yes, Orochimaru is back." Red Bean said as she stroked the mark on her neck.
"Sasuke has been marked. Orochimaru's target is Sasuke.”Kakashi asked.
"However, there is something very strange." Red Bean said as she recalled the scene.
"What's strange?" The third-generation successor asked.
"Lord Naruto, Orochimaru seemed to be very afraid of Naruto Uzumaki, but I don't know if that person was Naruto Uzumaki.”Red Bean said.
"What is it? Orochimaru is afraid of Naruto? Why did he say he didn't know if it was Naruto?”Kakashi said in shock. The third generation was also shocked. Orochimaru was afraid of Naruto.
" Because at that time, Naruto Uzumaki gave me a very evil and powerful feeling. His hair was white and his eyes were golden…" Red Bean was interrupted by the third-generation successor. "Impossible. Naruto has blond hair and blue eyes.”
"Could it be Nine Tails? "Kakashi was puzzled.
" I don't think he's Nine-Tailed. At that time, he said that Nine-Tailed was a weak and incompetent stupid fox. He also said that Naruto was him. He was Naruto. If anyone wanted to hurt Naruto, he would make that person's soul disappear from this world.”When Red Bean thought of Naruto's expression when he said that, she began to tremble.
"I don't think Naruto will hurt Muye. Today's event must be kept a secret. Don't let the people below know.”the third-generation successor instructed.
