Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

As planned, everyone stood in their designated positions and formed a formation in front of Kagura.

Fortunately, the space in this white tower is even larger than I imagined.

【The transfer station for world-weary novels: 2948327800】

Even after more than 100 people came in, they only occupied a small part of the area.

Despite the wary expressions on everyone's faces, Kagura remained completely relaxed.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, propping his head up with one hand, watching the crowd in front of him with great interest.

Beside him was a pile of items that looked like a small mountain.

Those were the 99 scrolls that the candidates were vying for.

Just as Kagura said, in order to be fair, he did not hide the scrolls on his person, but placed them openly on the ground and displayed them to everyone.

When the candidates saw the target scrolls for this assessment piled up in front of them, their breathing quickened.

Kagura, meanwhile, kept scanning Minato and Rasa at the front.

From the positions where everyone had just walked in, he could easily tell that these two were the ones who had called for this event.

At that moment, Kagura couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Indeed, it was no simple matter of luck that these two would become Hokage and Kazekage in the future.

This innate leadership is probably the main reason they became Shadows.

Actually, if we consider the theme of this assessment, the fact that these two gathered and united so many people to challenge Kagura meant they had already passed the assessment.

But...

Looking at the examinees in front of her, Kagura felt a little itchy to try it herself.

It's rare to have so many adorable genin to help him out, so let's take advantage of this...

No, it would be a waste not to train them properly.

Thinking of this, Kagura put on what he considered a gentle smile.

But to those on the other side, seeing that smile made their hair stand on end.

Kagura slowly stood up from the ground, looked around at everyone, and then spoke:

"Hmm, very good."

There are fewer idiots among you than I thought.

So...

Are you ready?

The moment the word "ma" was uttered, Kagura's figure suddenly vanished from everyone's sight.

Of course, this is not because Kagura used Chidori Stream or ninjutsu.

In fact, Kagura had already set a limit for herself during this trial, prohibiting her from using high-level ninjutsu.

On the one hand, no matter how much these talents grow, they are still capable of achieving their goals.

But right now they are just weak genin, so there's no need to use ninjutsu to deal with them.

Moreover, every single ninjutsu Kagura possesses is highly lethal.

Even he could easily cause the death of a test taker if he were not careful.

This isn't like the Blood Mist policy in Kirigakure; if an examiner kills a candidate, the consequences will be quite troublesome.

On the other hand, it is also due to the needs of performance evaluation.

The above only requires him to minimize the number of candidates in the next round, not to annihilate all the candidates.

If all the candidates are eliminated in just the second round, what are those who have traveled a long way to see when the Five Shadows gather three days later?

Therefore, Kagura was simply using her physical skills to move at high speed at this moment.

Even though he didn't do weight training with iron plates on his body like Rock Lee in the original story,

However, given his current physical abilities, which are close to breaking through to the eighth gate, he could move at high speed as if he had suddenly disappeared in front of this group of genin.

But Minato, who was prepared, immediately shouted loudly without turning around the moment he saw Kagura disappear:

"First squad, prepare!"

Upon hearing his reminder, Huang Tu and the many genin from Iwagakure behind him did not hesitate and immediately clapped their hands together before slamming them onto the ground.

As the dozen or so ninjas moved, a huge rumbling sound came from underground.

Suddenly, mounds of earth rose up on the ground that was originally covered with white stone slabs, and in an instant, dozens of towering earthen walls rose up in front of everyone.

The 7.8-meter-high wall completely blocked out the crowd.

As expected of ninjas from the Land of Earth, it must be said that Earth Release is the forte of most of them.

As the earthen walls rose, Kagura's figure suddenly appeared in front of the massive earthen wall.

Seeing the other party's response, Kagura's lips curled into a slight smile.

As expected, it wasn't that easy.

However, he did not stop his attack. Instead, he pushed off with his feet and leaped high into the air, easily landing on the top of the high wall.

Seeing Kagura's figure appear above him, Minato revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

Minato was quite familiar with this teacher.

Although he was Kagura's disciple, Minato was certain that Kagura would not hold back against him.

There's a high probability that, upon seeing herself and Rasa standing at the front of the group, Kagura would choose to attack her first.

Therefore, he had already informed everyone of this situation before formulating the attack plan outside.

So when he saw Kagura appear above him, he didn't show much surprise; he just remained calm as if it were expected.

As soon as Kagura appeared, he lowered his right hand, which had been raised high.

Chapter 59 Trap

As the water gate swung down with its right hand, the second squad, which had been prepared on the other side, reacted.

As if they had practiced this many times before, the second squad led by Ao threw their ninja tools towards the spot where Kagura appeared without hesitation.

Just as Kagura had steadied himself against the wall, a "rain" of hundreds of kunai, shuriken, and throwing stars came hurtling toward him.

Despite the sudden attack, Kagura showed no sign of panic.

He reached his hands to his waist and immediately pulled out two kunai, waving them in front of him.

As he moved, the two small kunai formed an impenetrable wall in front of him.

With a series of clanging sounds, the weapons that were flying towards Kagura were all knocked away.

Within seconds, a pile of ninja tools appeared on the high wall beneath Kagura's feet.

Although, as arranged in advance, Minato and his group handed over most of the other people's ninja tools to the second squad.

Unfortunately, these genin didn't have many ninja tools to begin with, and even when they were gathered together, they were only enough for the second squad led by Ao to throw a few rounds.

Ten seconds later, the second squad, who had already thrown out all their ninja tools, had no choice but to stop and look up with a helpless expression.

At this moment, Kagura, who had seen the hidden weapons in front of her stop, also put away the kunai in her hand.

Without a second's hesitation, Kagura moved and rushed towards the crowd below.

He crouched down and ran along the vertical wall, charging down with the force of a tiger descending a mountain.

"Don't panic!

"Form a defensive formation!"

The crowd, which had been somewhat agitated, immediately quieted down after hearing Shuimen's loud shouts.

Faced with Kagura charging towards them like a ferocious beast, the group suppressed their unease and formed a defensive formation as originally planned.

Dozens of people surged forward rapidly and immediately formed several small circles.

They huddled together back to back, holding kunai (a type of Japanese sword), forming a defensive formation facing outwards.

Looking at the team in front of her, who were working together for the first time but seemed to have been working together for many years, Kagura's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction.

but...

Faced with overwhelming power, this level of defense is utterly meaningless.

Without any intention of dodging, Kagura increased her speed again as she looked at the group of genin huddled together in front of her.

boom!

Like a bowling ball knocking over a pin, Kagura's not-so-large figure crashed into the group of genin.

A second later, a dozen or so genin were sent flying into the air as if they had been hit by a giant train.

Faced with the defensive formation of these genin, Kagura used the most savage and direct method to break through them.

Using the momentum from his previous forward run, he rushed to the middle of the crowd in one go.

Then his figure flashed and disappeared from everyone's sight once again.

Ah!

Woo!

He is... ah!

Amidst screams of agony, the examinees suddenly went limp, collapsing to the ground after a brief scream.

At this moment, Kagura had become a blur, constantly weaving through the numerous genin.

With each chop of his hand, a candidate would fall to the ground.

Despite the fact that there were more examinees, it seemed as if Kagura alone was surrounding them.

In just a short while, more than a dozen people had fallen to the ground.

Seeing the scene before him, Minato was anxious but didn't have many options.
