Chapter 84: The Second Round of Assessment Begins
"No, we still have to do it in threes. You three will form a team, and I'll be alone. You don't need to say anything. Naruto, you and Sasuke are no match for me, right? This is the most appropriate approach. It's the choice with the highest probability that our team of four will pass the assessment together."

At this moment, Menma's words were almost merciless. The moment they came out, not only was Naruto choked, but even Sasuke's expression turned black. However, Menma was telling the truth, and it was difficult for the two of them to refute anything.

After six years in the Ninja Academy, apart from the wins and losses between Naruto and Sasuke, all the competitions between the two of them and Menma ended in defeat. Now they can clearly judge that Menma undoubtedly held back.

And then in the past six months or so.

Menma's power is shown time and again in the missions.

They both saw it.

As proud as Sasuke is, although he will not admit that he is really not as good as Menma, he does know that he cannot defeat Menma now.

"Remember the B-rank mission we carried out before? Wasn't it me who was responsible for the independent infiltration work? Don't worry, I can do it alone. When we get inside, we can still find a way to reunite. Naruto, you don't want to stop at this round of assessment, right?"

Menma waved his hand and continued.

Letting the strongest person act alone is indeed one of the most reliable options. Dividing into groups of two, not to mention other things, from a general perspective, it is very easy for both sides to fail. Triple-one is the safest.

Of course, we must look at it from a practical perspective.

Sakura's suggestion is the safest one.

But isn't this Menma's way of showing his 'caring for his companions' attitude?
Menma also believed that Sakura was not really willing to give up, and could definitely control Naruto on this point. As for Sasuke? That was a pure indifference.

Anyway, Menma is bound to fail in the solo action in this assessment.

as predicted.

After Menma's words fell.

Sasuke didn't express his attitude, but Sakura was obviously very interested. After a short silence, Naruto looked up at Menma and said, "Then you must be careful in your actions, Menma. Let's try to reunite in the shortest possible time."

"Well, that's for sure."

Menma also nodded and said.

Of course they still have to meet up, after all, he can't really go through the forest alone to find Orochimaru, right? The best thing to do is to wait and see, as long as the plot doesn't deviate, that 'Uncle Snake' will definitely come to find Sasuke.

You just need to stay on one side, and there is a high probability that you can see Orochimaru.

Menma's original plan was to estimate a time after entering the examination room, and find an excuse to act alone so that he could hide on the side and wait for Orochimaru to appear. However, on the one hand, the time of Orochimaru's arrival was uncertain, and on the other hand, it was not easy to find an excuse. Once he was away for too long, it would seem very unnatural. He couldn't really treat Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura as fools, right?

Therefore, being able to enter the Death Forest as a single team this time is a priceless blessing for Menma.

The plan was made.

There are four people in this separated seventh class.

It's like returning to the original plot.

Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura act together.

Menma, on the other hand, acted alone.

But this is what Menma wanted.

Under the guidance of different examiners, Menma and his three companions were obviously divided into two completely unconnected entrances.

"This is my last reminder. You are not allowed to open the test papers during the exam. All consequences will be borne by the candidates themselves."

The Chunin looked at Menma with an indifferent expression and said.

"Yeah, I understand." Menma nodded indifferently.

"whoosh"

Then, he leaped forward.

He quickly passed through the entrance and rushed towards the depths of the Death Forest.

"Time is still a bit tight. Although I don't remember exactly when Orochimaru went to find Sasuke, it should be shortly after entering the examination room. I don't have much time left."

While running quickly, Menma fully released his perception. He had to determine the location of Naruto and the other three in the shortest time possible.

And that was shortly after all the candidates entered the examination room.

In a wild location far away from the Death Forest.

Mitarashi Anko appeared here with several Konoha ninjas. Looking at the tragic deaths of the three Kusagakure ninjas, this special jonin of the Hidden Leaf Village had a grim look on his face. His previous calmness and teasing expression completely disappeared, and what was left was a stronger special emotion.

'He's back! That guy is back!'

Hongdou clenched her hands tightly, and her dark pupils revealed a fierce look.

"Report the information here to Lord Hokage immediately. The rest of you, follow me and enter the Forest of Death immediately."

Hongdou suddenly turned around and looked at the subordinates around her and shouted loudly.

"Yes, Anko-sama!"

Although these subordinates did not understand why the death of three Kusa ninjas would make their Lord Anko lose his composure like this, the orders of the Jonin were everything. At this moment, these Chunins also obeyed Anko's orders and acted.

'It must be in time!'

With an extremely solemn look on his face, Hongdou flew rapidly towards the interior of the Death Forest.

A big shark entering a small fish pond.

The lethality and destructive power this brings are absolutely unparalleled. The most terrifying thing is that almost all the small fish are unaware that such a giant shark has sneaked in. However, fortunately, this is a shark with a clear goal.

Those small pieces of fish are not even considered appetizers.

There was no way Orochimaru would pay any attention at all.

For Orochimaru, he had only one goal in entering the Forest of Death, which was to determine Uchiha Sasuke's current situation and bring him his own exclusive gift.

other people?
As long as it doesn't interfere with him, Orochimaru has no interest in even looking at it.

In fact, this was true. After Orochimaru used the technique of erasing face and entered the Forest of Death with the face of that Grass Ninja, he directly began to search for Sasuke.

With his extraordinary strength and the assistance of countless summoned ninja snakes, Orochimaru had locked onto the location of Sasuke and his group in less than an hour or two.

"Hehe, Itachi's brother, let me see where your current limit is."

Looking at Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura sitting below.

Orochimaru smiled playfully, licked his lips with his long tongue, and signaled his two subordinates to disperse the surrounding guards.

"Whoosh!"

Orochimaru didn't hesitate at all. He leapt up and flew directly to the position below.
