next morning
When all the candidates gathered at Drill Ground No. 44, Naruto's eyes were attracted by a figure.
There was a figure with a demonic temperament. Judging from the forehead guard on his head, he should be a ninja from the village of Grass Ninja. However, what attracted Naruto's attention was his demonic temperament and the faint sense of danger he brought to Naruto. He gave Naruto the feeling that he was a snake, and when Naruto looked at him, he would instinctively think of snakes.
"Orochimaru!" Naruto roared in his heart. The character in Naruto did not expect him to come like in the original novel. But why did she discover his existence so easily? Naruto was puzzled. Even if he was familiar with the plot, it would not be so easy to show him. Could it be that he deliberately made him appear? However, he didn't want to think about it, so he had no choice but to suppress his doubts.
Ten minutes later, the candidates who passed the first round of the exam each took a scroll and entered the Forest of Death through 18 entrances. It also symbolized the official opening of the second exam.
" From now on, everyone we face is our enemy. What we need to do is to keep snatching the scrolls from the other teams until we get them. As soon as they entered the Forest of Death, Sasuke said to Naruto and Sakura in a serious tone. His tone was mixed with anticipation, uneasiness, and nervousness.
Sakura and Naruto replied seriously. At this time, no one knew what scrolls the others had, so they could only try their best to snatch other people's scrolls until they completed the mission goal. The most important thing was to guard against natural dangers such as wild beasts along the way, as well as assassinations, traps, poisons, and all kinds of other methods.
"Aiya, can we really find a team weaker than us?”Ino asked himself with a troubled expression.
" I thought Naruto's group would be weaker than us, but…" Orochimaru said to the three of them. His tone was relaxed but filled with a strange feeling. It was as if the scroll would definitely become his. He was full of confidence.
Sasuke and Sakura looked at Naruto's serious expression and knew that this candidate was definitely not a good person. This was because the average candidate would have long avoided them because of Naruto's performance in the first round of the exam. However, this person in front of them dared to come up and snatch their scrolls, so he must have something up his sleeve. Moreover, they knew the answer from Naruto's serious expression.
"You guys run quickly. He's not someone we can deal with!”Suddenly, Naruto shouted at Sasuke and Sakura," However, Sasuke and Sakura did not listen to him.
" Are you kidding me? How could I, Sasuke Uchiha, abandon my companions and run away? Doing so would be a disgrace to Uchiha's reputation," Sasuke retorted. Sakura also had a look of agreement on her face.
"Bastards, don't you understand? He's definitely not someone we can deal with. You guys will only be a hindrance to me. With my strength, even if I can't defeat him, it won't be a problem for me to escape. But you guys are here." Seeing that Sasuke and the others did not want to leave, Naruto could not help but say anxiously,""Reputation? That thing will have to wait until you're alive."
Hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke was furious. He was extremely furious. As the only descendant of the Uchiha clan, he valued Uchiha's reputation very much. But now, his companion had called him a hindrance. It was like a slap to the face of the Uchiha clan.
However, he had to admit that Naruto was telling the truth. Even if he had grown to a very high level, he knew that there was still a distance between him and Naruto. But now, Naruto said that he was not a match for the examinee in front of him. While he was shocked, Sasuke felt very helpless. Since Naruto was not a match, then he definitely had no chance of winning.
"Then you idiot, you must catch up. I believe that with your strength, even if you can't win, you can still escape. So, you must catch up! Xiao Ying, let's go!" After hesitating for a while, Sasuke solemnly said to Naruto, and then called Sakura to leave. In a few ups and downs, they quickly disappeared from Naruto's sight.
No one noticed the faint mist in Sasuke's eyes as he turned around.
Orochimaru looked at the three of them as if he was watching a drama. He did not even stop Sasuke and the others from escaping. He just looked at Naruto with a playful expression.
"Hehe, what a precious friendship. But, how long do you think you can hold me back with your strength?”At this time, Orochimaru playfully said to Naruto," Moreover, as a prey, it is very unwise for you to choose to confront me as a hunter, because you will die!”At the end of his speech, Orochimaru's body emitted a shocking killing intent. It grew and moved without any wind. The surrounding leaves trembled and fell off one by one. The grass on the ground was also pressed down by the killing intent. A strong killing intent storm instantly swallowed Naruto.
However, in the face of such a strong murderous aura, Naruto was like a reef in a storm. No matter how fierce the storm was, it would not waver at all. No matter how strong his murderous aura was, it would not affect him at all.
Looking at Orochimaru, who was surprised that he was so calm in the face of Orochimaru's murderous intent, Naruto slowly pulled out a strange smile under Orochimaru's puzzled gaze and said word by word,""Don't waste your energy, Saninzhi's Orochimaru!”。
