Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 82 Intention and Choice
There are 21 teams, 64 people, and including the examiners who come to supervise, the number of people exceeds 80. However, in front of this forest of death, this number is like a drop in the ocean and is not worth mentioning.

Menma and his group arrived still early, and most of the candidates arrived later. It was among this group of people that Menma saw the figure of a young girl who also had long fiery red hair.

When I saw the face that was obviously very young, but familiar enough.

Menma was subconsciously stunned.

"Yes, she was not a subordinate of Orochimaru from the beginning. She lived in Kusagakure Village and met Sasuke once in the Forest of Death."

The part of the plot that I had forgotten before also came to my mind at this moment.

Whirlpool incense.

Of course, it would be more appropriate to call her Karin directly. After all, the original work never states what Karin's surname is, but it is 100% certain that Karin is from the Uzumaki clan. The red hair doesn't mean anything, but Kagura's Heart's Eye and the Diamond Sealing Technique are real bloodline-exclusive skills of the Uzumaki clan.

The same is true for Menma.

Possessing the Kagura Eyes.

But there is no sign of King Kong Blockade yet.

Karin also obviously noticed Menma's gaze. After subconsciously looking at Menma, she immediately lowered her head. Her eyes flashed with a hint of hope and desire that no one else knew about, but also with deep fear and panic.

Menma was stunned for the first time, then he came to his senses immediately and stopped looking at Karin. He was not in a position to think about anything else now.

He himself is a "bird in a cage" and has no energy to care about others.

Menma's change of color only lasted for a moment.

Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke on the side did not notice it. Their attention was now focused on the huge training ground in front of them and the content of the assessment that might come next.

After all, if the second round of assessment is really held here.

The difficulty of the corresponding assessment content will definitely not be low.

Menma also took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his mentality, but just when Menma had just calmed down his mood.

Suddenly.

The figure of Sando Kusanagi also immediately came into Menma's sight.

The moment I saw the leader.

Menma's pupils shrank suddenly again subconsciously.

That is less than a second.

Menma turned his gaze away naturally.

"Orochimaru!"

There is no doubt that the Grass Ninja who appeared just now was none other than Orochimaru. Not to mention that Menma had the original plot as a reference, he could even sense a huge chakra aura from that Grass Ninja.

Even more terrifying than Kakashi.

At this stage.

In front of this forest of death.

Who else could it be besides Orochimaru!?
"You're finally here, Orochimaru-senpai, I've been waiting for you for so long!"

Menma subconsciously clenched his right hand slightly, thinking silently in his heart.

Since the target person has appeared as expected, the next thing to do is to find an appropriate opportunity to contact him. Although it requires some risks, Menma thinks it is worth it.

There were more than 80 ninjas on the scene, and except for Menma, no one realized that a big boss had sneaked into this assessment.

Even Hongdou, the chief examiner and especially a jonin, did not realize that her 'mentor' was right under her nose, and was still introducing the contents and corresponding rules of the second round of examinations to all the candidates in an eloquent manner.

'The furthest distance in the world is when I am in front of you and you can't recognize me. '

At this moment, Menma really wanted to know what Orochimaru's attitude was towards him, his only disciple in the past.

"The above are all the contents and rules of the second round of assessment. Now you can have some time to think about it. Those who want to give up can give up immediately. Those who have any doubts can also raise them now. If you miss this time point, you will have no chance to regret it!"

Hongdou looked down at the sixty or so candidates who came to take the exam with a very dangerous look and said in a playful tone.

It seemed as if she wanted to use this method to further beat the little guys below. When she saw some of them showing frightened expressions, Hongdou's inner evil taste was greatly satisfied.

"I have doubts, examiner!"

"Oh? What's your doubt? Tell me!"

I saw that some people actually raised doubts.

Hongdou raised her eyebrows, looked at the Taki ninja who asked the question with an interested expression, and asked with a smile.

"According to the rules you mentioned, we have to compete for the scroll in teams. Of the 21 teams here, 20 are composed of three people, but one team is composed of four people. Doesn't this seem unfair?"

This Taki nin was obviously looking at where Menma, Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura were and spoke loudly.

And it was following the words of this Taki ninja.

Everyone present shifted their attention to the four people in Class 7.

After all, the first assessment was a written test, and the final score was calculated based on the average score, so no one really raised any objections at the beginning. However, this round of assessment was different. It was a team-based battle for the scrolls, and when everyone was in a team of three, the four-man team of Menma and others seemed so conspicuous and so unfair.

Even if ninjas from the same village can cooperate with each other after entering the examination room, they are still different teams after all. There is a big difference between having one more person in the same team!
Menma's eyebrows also raised slightly.

Naruto and Sakura showed different levels of embarrassment. They had obviously thought of this problem. It was nothing to have four people in a team for normal missions, but now that they were in the Chunin Exam, it did seem very unfair.

Sasuke remained calm.

"Oh? Are you talking about that team? Don't worry, we in Konoha will never do anything to favor our own people. This assessment will definitely be fair. The four of them will definitely not act together. I, Anko Mitarashi, as the chief examiner, can guarantee this. In this assessment, no team will have more than three people."

Hongdou smiled and said casually.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with my answer, Taki-nin?"

"Since the examiner has said so, I will definitely choose to believe it. I also believe that Konoha must be fair."

This Taki ninja didn't seem to be afraid at all, he looked directly at Hongdou and replied.

"Haha, interesting."

In response to this bold question from a Taki ninja.

Not only did Hongdou not feel offended at all, she even thought that this Taki-nin was very courageous. Lady Mitarashi Hongdou liked courageous people the most.

That way, the game will be more interesting, right?

"Anyone else, do you have any questions? If not, then please enter the tent in order to receive your scrolls."

After Hongdou took a quick look around and saw that no one asked any questions and no one gave up, he nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand.

They also began distributing scrolls to the teams of candidates that entered the second round.
