Chapter 459 Water Miko

Desert of Demons.

Central control tower.

"Is this the place?"

Standing in front of the gate of the control tower, the girl had long black hair. Even though she was crossing the desert field that was more than ten kilometers long, her body was spotless and her hairstyle was not messed up.

She looked at the hot sun above her head, pulled the collar of her clothes slightly, and exhaled.

"The environment here is really hot. As an examination room, it's a bit too bad."

That's what she said, she didn't look worried at all, and the tone of her speech seemed to be gloating.

The two Ghost Kingdoms who followed her couldn't bear to deny it. The unique geographical environment of the Wind Kingdom can indeed hone the ninja's will.

Even in the land of ghosts, there is no such high-quality ninja training place.

However, in terms of national development, more than 90% of the country's land is the desert country of the wind, and it is estimated that it does not want too many barren lands.

While they were communicating, the door of the control tower was slowly pushed open from the inside. A sand hermit ninja came out, nodded slightly to the three girls, then turned and left, and entered the control tower.

Follow this sand hidden ninja into the control tower, where there is plenty of light and plenty of air-conditioning, which makes the body and mind refreshed.

Following the sand ninja all the way into the deep space of the control tower, at the intersection, the shinin Maki of the sand, as if he had already expected that a guest would come, stood in the center of the intersection and waited for the arrival of the girl and others.

"You came a bit early, Miss Chiba Kazuhime. The second exam has just started less than an hour now, and there are still three days before the end of the exam."

Maki said to the black-haired girl.

Even though he knew that the girl in front of him was the biological daughter of the number one enemy of the Wind Kingdom, his expression was very calm, without showing any hostility or dissatisfaction.

Although he would indeed feel unwilling about the war a few years ago, but after thinking about it, even if he did it all over again, Sha Yin, who participated in the war on behalf of the Kingdom of Wind, might not be able to win the war.

Although Sand Hidden mobilized all his strength, in the final battle, only a few people from the Kingdom of Demons played, and the ninjas from the Kingdom of Demons performed well at the end of the battle. If Sha Yin insisted on fighting to the end, he might completely fall from the position of a big country in that war and become a second- or third-rate small country.

Because when the time comes, it is not just the Kingdom of Ghosts that will be eyeing the fat of the Kingdom of the Wind, other countries will also beat the dog in the water, come up to take a bite, and divide the Kingdom of the Wind.

Even though he was defeated, Maji was full of awe towards the top management of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

If the grievances between each other are not too deep, and there is no way to adjust it in a short time, Maji doesn't mind the deeper cooperation between Sha Yin and the Kingdom of Ghosts.

But unfortunately, for the time being, no such possibility can be found.

Even if the two parties want to cooperate, they have to wait until the relationship has eased.

"It's boring for me to stay in the military area of Kazami Castle by myself, so I came here to observe in advance. If I cause trouble to your work, then I say sorry."

As the saying goes, you don't reach out to hit people with smiling faces. As long as the sand hidden ninjas don't take the initiative to provoke them, Kazuhime doesn't want to make trouble here.

So when we met for the first time, Kazuki felt that the atmosphere was relatively harmonious.

Neither close nor estranged, both sides have very clear goals, so temporarily put aside their respective prejudices, and jointly hold this joint Chunin exam, so that both sides can get by.

As for past grievances, they will be resolved on the battlefield.

"There is no trouble... Forget it, since I'm here, I'll arrange the accommodation for a few of you. By the way, Miss Yiji, how many groups do you think will pass the second exam?"

Maki asked with interest.

He actually doesn't know about Ichihime, he only knows that Chiba Shiraishi and Uchiha Ruri have such a daughter.

However, judging from the information passed by Konoha, it is not known whether the strength of Ninao Jinchuriki, who suppressed the power of Namokuni and liberated Ninai's power, can be compared with Gokage, but even if it is not as good as Gokage, I am afraid it is not far behind.

The most important thing is that the other party is only fifteen years old.

Maki is a little thankful that this monster girl has become a jonin in advance, otherwise, she might have used her Sharingan illusion in the first exam to make a mess of the exam room.

Not to mention the second exam.

There is no need to speculate, there is absolutely no one among the candidates who can fight her head-on.

If that happens, the third exam doesn't even need to be assessed, and it will become a game for her to pass alone.

That's right, for ninjas of this level, the Chunin Exam is just a one-sided massacre game.

"How many teams will clear the customs? If I remember correctly, there are a total of forty-six teams that cleared the first round, with a total of 138 people."

Ichihime said.

"Exactly."

"According to the elimination rate of the first test, it is about 60%. The second test is much more difficult than the first test, so the final clearance rate is likely to hover around 20%, maybe even lower."

Ichihime expressed her guess.

Because it is estimated based on the second pass rate of the Chunin Exam in previous years in various countries, on average, it also fluctuates around this value.

"Very pertinent judgment, but I think the quality of the candidates this time is very high, and there is nothing wrong with a slight increase of a few percentage points."

Hearing what Maki said, Kazuki didn't refute.

Because she has not been to the scene to simulate, except for the genocide of the ghost country, she has no way of knowing what the level of genocide in other countries is like. Therefore, the guessed data is based on the old data in the past, and a compromise estimate is made.

"Then, let me ask another question, how many teams do you think will be promoted in the Ghost Kingdom?"

Maki's question is more acute.

Yiji frowned slightly, thought carefully, and replied: "There will be three to four groups."

Even though the ninjas of the Oni Land are not weak, there might be troublesome ones among the ninjas who came from various countries to take the exam this time.

So, three to four groups to pass the exam is more in line with Yi Ji's judgment.

Although she has a high probability of thinking that there will be three groups, not four, that will eventually clear the country of ghosts.

However, even if three groups pass the level, in terms of the total number of people, it is still a passing score.

This is Kazuhime's bottom line.

If the probability is lower than this, Kazuki feels that the ninja of the kingdom of ghosts needs further special training.

For example, reduce the vacation time and extend the class hours of various simulations of actual combat.

"Then let's wait and see. I think we'll be better than Shayin."

Maki smiled confidently.

As long as you don't face the monster in front of you, Gaara's strength will be unmatched in this test.

"oh?"

Yiji was also 'provoked' by Maji's self-confidence.

Although they didn't intend to compare at the beginning, judging from the current situation, the Kingdom of Wind and Hidden Sand still haven't given up the idea of restoring their dignity.

Maki said such words, it is likely that the Fourth Kazekage was behind his back.

"So, as you said, Mr. Markey, let us wait and see."

"It's so hot...it's like being inside a stove."

Walking on the very hot sandstone, Karin put her hands on top of her head to block the sunlight from above.

As long as the head is raised, the eyes must be closed, otherwise it will be hurt by the strong light emitted by the sun.

And not only that, after the sun rose, the temperature of the Demon Desert began to rise sharply. It was not yet noon, and the temperature here was at least 50 degrees, and it seemed to be close to 60 degrees according to Xiang Rin.

If it is noon, when the sun is at its strongest, the temperature may reach a terrifying seventy degrees.

At that time, I didn't know that I would face the problem of water shortage, and my physical strength would be exhausted very quickly, so it was not suitable for action outside.

"No, if you stay in the stove, you will be burned directly. Just get used to the temperature."

In the shady place of the sandstone, Asuka and Cai sat there. There was a pile of branches on the sand.

The bird spewed a small flame from its mouth, which set the branches ablaze and began to boil the water.

The place they chose now, there is a small river not far away, and they can get water from there nearby.

The three of them ran at the fastest speed at the moment the exam started, using the advantage brought by the white eyes, quickly found the location of the water source, and then used it as a temporary stronghold, waiting for the rest of the later teams to come, and then made a surprise attack to get the scrolls of the opposing team.

Therefore, Asuka was not anxious about the development of the next thing. Instead, he sat and waited calmly, waiting for work at leisure.

In such an extremely high-temperature environment, water droplets may be evaporated when they flow out. It is necessary to reduce the time of action as much as possible to avoid lack of physical strength when fighting early. After getting the corresponding scroll, you can think about other things.

Xiang Rin jumped down from the sandstone and also went to a shady place.

"Will someone really come here in this kind of ghostly weather?"

Xiang Rin asked her own question.

"If there is a group that thinks like us, well, it won't be long before someone comes."

Asuka said.

"What if they didn't preempt the water area?"

"Then their actions will be restricted... Or, they will wait until night to act."

"night?"

"The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge. Compared with the scorching heat during the day, it is better to move at night. But there is a problem, that is, you may lose your way in the desert at night, and the creatures in the desert come out to look for food, usually at night."

This is not only a difficult problem for the rest of the candidates, but also for Asuka and the others.

But fortunately, they have now occupied a stronghold with a water source in advance. As long as they are properly arranged and protective measures are taken in advance, not only can they avoid the waste of physical strength, but they can also effectively prevent the attacks of desert creatures at night.

As long as there are candidates with ideas, Asuka believes that they will make this choice.

This is not only a battle between candidates and candidates, but also a battle for survival.

Before the battle, Asuka will give priority to solving the problem of future troubles. Only when the basic survival problem is solved, will he consider capturing the scrolls of the other groups. Avoid being left to wait for work, and make the exam more difficult for yourself.

Just as the water in the kettle was about to boil, Cai's body suddenly shook slightly.

Although there was little movement, Asuka and Xianglin looked at him at the same time.

At the same time, Xiang Rin also deployed her sensory ninjutsu, searched around, and formed a double detection 'network' with Cai to avoid any fish that slipped through the net.

"come yet?"

Asuka asked in a low voice.

Cai nodded, and replied softly: "Three people are going to the other side of the river, and the distance from here is about 700 meters."

"Where are you?"

Asuka confirmed it to Xianglin.

Xiang Rin nodded, her perception result was the same as Cai's, there were only three people, and the distance was more than 700 meters.

Asuka felt relieved and didn't rush to go. Instead, he stood up and continued to ask unhurriedly, "Did you see what scroll they were carrying?"

"Like us, it is the Scroll of Heaven. Do you want to let them go?"

After Cai finished speaking, he asked a rhetorical question.

"Don't use them as bait, just deal with them directly. Xiang Rin, you stay here, Cai, you come with me."

Asuka left the shade of the sandstone with Cai Cai, and took advantage of the surrounding uneven terrain to cover up his figure and approached the river step by step.

The three candidates staying by the river hadn't left yet, and Asuka also confirmed that there were no sentient ninjas in this group.

A hundred meters away from the three candidates, Asuka and Cai stopped, relying on a heavily weathered rock as a cover, and explored the river.

Asuka took out three kunai from the ninja bag, with lightning wrapped around his hands, the three kunai were immediately attracted by some kind of force and suspended in mid-air.

"Can you make sure you hit those three?"

Asuka asked.

Cai glanced at it, and said, "The Kunai on the left is shifted to the left by ten degrees, and lifted up by two centimeters."

Asuka followed suit, and it only took a second to adjust Kunai's direction according to Cai's speech.

Afterwards, without the slightest pause, the movement was smooth and smooth, and the kunai suspended in mid-air immediately shot out and disappeared from Asuka and Cai's eyes.

There were no screams, only the sound of wind and sand blowing, everything seemed so quiet and peaceful.

A few seconds later, Asuka and Cai came out from behind the rock and rushed to the river at the fastest speed. They saw three candidates lying beside the river bank, each with a kunai stuck in their bodies, and fell into the flesh.

Cai walked over, her figure flashed, and her palm was pressed on the stomach of a male candidate, and the violent Chakra rushed into the opponent's internal organs, launching an internal attack.

Suddenly, the examinee who pretended to be dead let out a scream and spit out a big mouthful of blood. His dying eyes showed disbelief.

I don't know how my pretending to be dead was detected by the enemy.

In the ninja tool bag of the male candidate who was pretending to be dead, Cai dug out a scroll of heaven, and also searched all the kunai, shuriken, detonator, scroll and other items in the other party's ninja tool bag, and there was nothing left.

Asuka also took the same measures, searched another male and female candidate, and took away all ninja tools and the like.

These are important materials that can be used sustainably.

The two brothers did not say anything. After searching for the loot, they began to dispose of the three corpses in a tacit understanding, waiting for the next group of "destined people".

It has been six or seven hours since the start of the second exam.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

The temperature in the desert is still rising at a slow rate, which makes the temperature of the sand begin to rise. Walking in this kind of place, it seems to be imprisoned in a huge furnace and burned by fire.

Even locals from the Land of Wind like Temari don't like to come out and act in such a high temperature environment.

However, in order to prepare for the dangerous night, you must collect enough supplies during the day to ensure a good survival the next day.

Desert of Demons, Temari has also heard a lot of rumors.

The environment here is countless times more dangerous than the desert outside.

Especially at night.

In this desert, there are many large carnivorous animals hidden. Night is the time for these large carnivores to come out for food.

The strength of some carnivorous animals, even Chunin finds it difficult to handle.

In addition, some carnivorous animals are highly poisonous. If they are poisoned, their situation will become worrying.

Temari, who often lives in the desert, knows very well what needs to be done in order to get through the desert at night safely.

From this point of view, sand hermit ninjas who have more experience living in the desert have an advantage in this exam.

"The meat and water have been found, and then we can go back after looking for some flammable things."

The purpose of Temari is very clear.

But even so, it is very difficult to find flammable things in the bare desert.

Sand and rocks everywhere, and the sun's rays.

Temari felt that she had to make a quick decision. The longer the time dragged on, the more she could not stand the high temperature environment. Saving energy and waiting for the fighter plane was a necessary basic tactic.

At this moment, Temari suddenly moved her ears, and something sound was transmitted to her ears through the air.

It sounded like a person drowning in water.

Drowning?

Temari, who has surveyed the area, knows that there is no water source at all.

Moreover, the water in the Desert of Demons is not deep, and it is impossible to drown people. Coupled with the fact that ninjas must be able to swim to some extent, and have the ability to walk on water, it is theoretically impossible for ninjas to drown.

But this sound is indeed the sound of someone drowning.

Even though it was slight, Temari thought he had heard absolutely right.

Temari followed the sound with awe-inspiring heart, walked forward silently, and carefully climbed the huge sandstone.

This is a sand dune environment with complex terrain. As long as you are careful, you can completely cover your body and not be noticed by the enemy.

But for the possible battle that will happen next, Temari also pressed his right hand to the three-star fan behind him, ready to fight at any time.

Even in a critical situation, Temari is confident that he can handle it.

According to her strength, she has already reached the level of Chunin. Even if she acts alone, she thinks that few of the candidates can pose a threat to herself.

Climbed to the top of the huge sandstone block, half of his head was slightly exposed, and he easily looked down from a high place and saw the scene below.

I saw three young male candidates pinching their throats with their hands, rolling on the ground in excruciating pain, accompanied by intense choking movements, coughing out saliva from their mouths, and spilling it on the sand beside them.

The sound of drowning came from here.

That is the ninja of Yunyin Village. Seeing this, Temari instantly recognized the three male examinees as Genin of Cloud Hidden Village from their clothes and forehead protectors.

Not far from the three Yunyin Xiaren, a dazzling and compelling figure stood there.

Red and white maiden costume, and a head of black and beautiful long hair, moving with the wind.

Two arms hang down naturally, and in her right hand, she holds a bamboo tube with the stopper open.

The bamboo tube is covered with charms, surrounding the bamboo tube.

It is conceivable that it is not a utensil for drinking water, but a special ninja tool.

The fair-skinned opponent is even jealous of Temari, who is a girl. With his eyes closed, he shows an indifferent posture, like a "celestial girl" in a picture book, who is not eating fireworks on earth.

She is a ninja from the kingdom of ghosts, did she do it? Temari narrowed his eyes, for some reason, when he looked at this shrine girl who was one or two years younger than himself, she always had a feeling of trepidation.

Judging from the situation at the scene, this ninja from the ghost country met three ninjas from Yunyin Village and subdued them by inexplicable means.

At least from Temari's point of view, she has no idea what method this ninja girl from the kingdom of ghosts used to make the three cloud hidden shinin roll on the sand in agony.

While Temari was thinking about which direction the situation would develop next, suddenly the three Kumogakushi shinobi let out an extremely tragic howl.

Something moved under their skin, making their bodies start to assume a strange twisted posture, and even heard the creepy sound of bones breaking.

Pfft!

Countless blood spurted out from every pore of the body of the three Yunyin Xiaren.

Like countless blood-colored flowers, they fell from the sky and splashed all over the ground.

This extremely coquettish and **** scene made Temari's eyes widen in shock.

What happened?

Why did it become like this?

What did she do?

These questions kept flashing through Teju's mind.

The large amount of blood sprinkled on the sand began to protrude with life. Drops of clean water separated from the blood and gathered together. Then, like a water snake, it flew in mid-air like lightning, rushed towards the witch girl, and entered the bamboo tube covered with spells in her right hand.

Is that also ninjutsu? Temari has an indescribably weird feeling.

The ability of this witch is really weird.

The color of the water separated from the blood was no different from that of ordinary water, but it was filled with a very strong smell of blood.

Just like the sand controlled by her brother Gaara, it is full of disgusting **** smell and full of terrifying murderous intent.

This guy is not something I can deal with, I have to go back and meet the two of them. Temari thought to himself.

Here alone, there is no sense of security.

When she had the idea of evacuating, the witch girl below disappeared at some point, leaving only footprints there.

Oops! Seeing this, Temari still doesn't know that his position has been exposed.

Without hesitation, he pulled out the fan on his back, turned around and placed it horizontally in front of him.

boom!

A palm hit the fan heavily.

Teju's body shook, his face turned pale, his back hit hard against the hard sandstone, and a slightly painful moan came out of his mouth.

The priestess girl with her eyes closed tightly appeared in front of her. Her expressionless face was like that of a dead person, and she could not see any emotional changes.

Temari didn't want to sit still, so he spread out the three-star fan in his hand vigorously.

The priestess girl seemed to have sensed something, and immediately jumped back to distance herself from Temari.

"Don't try to escape!"

Temari swung the unfolded Samsung fan forward.

"Wind escape Kamaitachi!"

The gust of wind rolled up, and countless sands were swept into the storm, and the blazing white shining air blades were also mixed in, attacking towards the body of the witch girl.

The shrine maiden unhurriedly pulled out the plug of the bamboo tube in her hand and shook it vigorously.

The ear-piercing screams raged.

The water stream, like a water snake, shot out from the bamboo tube like lightning in an instant, turning into a tangible entity, and bounced off all the air blades rushing towards him.

After the air blade was bounced off, the water flow seemed to have a sense of life, surrounding the witch girl, floating and moving, as if wearing a water feather coat on her body.

"You guy, you don't use ninjutsu at all, but the witchcraft of a witch?"

Temari was sweating coldly at this moment, forced a smile from his face, and asked the girl in front of him.
