I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

This gave the opposing team, number 1, a chance to react, and they managed to escape by the side while being partially struck by lightning.

"To pass by ants without harming them is indeed not an easy task!"

Seeing Number 1 hastily shoot a kunai after escaping, Naraku calmly caught the falling katana and seemingly risked sending it flying.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Bind!"

Lightning bolts leaped from his right hand and quickly coiled around the blade.

Naraku began his performance again.

It rushed rapidly toward number 1, as if launching its own counterattack.

The blade flashed.

Shuriken, kunai, and other ninja tools flew everywhere.

Every now and then, ninja techniques would destroy the ground, leaving it riddled with craters.

To outsiders, the battle on the field was incredibly exciting.

Number 1 lived up to his reputation as the top student in the training class.

Their strength is already comparable to some of the reserves.

Naraku, on the other hand, did not show any decline in strength despite spending more than half a year at the Ninja Academy; in fact, he had made slight progress.

After the two sides fought for a while, Naraku gradually gained the upper hand.

Finally, with a lightning-infused slash, he severed the kunai in Number 1's hand, wounding and subduing him.

"It's over. It's a bit of a pity about number 1. If he hadn't been a challenger, he could have been promoted."

"That's not how it works. He chose the opponent himself, and if he failed, it was only because he underestimated the opponent's strength. So, the failure was simply due to his own lack of ability."

"I didn't expect that Oni's strength has improved so much. I originally thought that he would regress after spending more than half a year in the Ninja Academy."

"."

Seeing that the battle had concluded, some people couldn't help but start talking about it.

Some expressed regret over Number 1, while others were surprised by the strength Naraku displayed.

"Captain, do you think the Oni will challenge us this time?" On the third floor, one of the three people next to Nono asked her with great interest.

Standing next to Nonou are the official members of Class 3, which Nonou belongs to.

"Xiao, you're not scared, are you?!"

Before Nono could respond, another member of Class 3 chimed in, looking at the person called Owl with a mocking expression.

"Wolf, do you dare say you're not afraid of being challenged?" Owl glanced at the other party and said indifferently.

Wolf shrugged: "Okay, I'm actually quite scared too, after all, nobody wants to be demoted."

"Quiet down, everyone. Don't disturb me while I watch the next battle."

At this moment, the last person in the third squad, codenamed Rain, glanced at Owl and Wolf with a fierce look.

This person is female.

However, unlike the beautiful Nono, Ame's face was covered with knife scars, as if she had suffered terrible torture.

The fierceness of the rain was very effective, immediately intimidating the owl and the wolf, who smiled sheepishly and dared not say another word.

no way.

Within the Root organization, there is no distinction between men and women; the only difference lies in strength.

Although Rain is a woman, within Class 3, her strength is second only to the captain, Nonou.

The owl and the wolf were no match for her, so they naturally dared not act recklessly.

Return to the field.

Having achieved victory, Naraku pretended to be quite exhausted and went back up the stairs to the second floor.

Number 1, who failed in the challenge, went to the sidelines dejectedly.

No wonder this person is like this.

After all, everyone only has one chance to challenge. Even though No. 1's strength is no less than that of some of the reserves, if he loses this battle, unless a reserve member dies in the next year and a position becomes available, he will only have the opportunity to be promoted in next year's assessment.

This is the consequence of choosing the wrong challenger.

It seems there is a painful example of number 1.

In the challenges that followed, the rest of the training group were noticeably more cautious.

Unlike Number 1, who directly selected a challenger based on prior intelligence, this time he observed the situation on the spot before launching the challenge.

Just like the opportunity to take on a challenge, being challenged only happens once.

Therefore, after Naraku was challenged once, no one else would challenge him.

Back on the second floor, he naturally pretended to be recovering his strength and leaned against the wall to rest.

As for the assessment.

He had no intention of getting promoted, so after finishing his assigned tasks, he naturally decided to slack off.

Time passed slowly.

Before we knew it, the training course challenge had come to an end.

Some, like number 1, failed the challenge, while others succeeded, replacing the original challenger and being promoted to reserve members.

Those who were challenged immediately launched their own challenges after the second phase of the assessment began, targeting those in the same level who had not yet been challenged.

But the result is very realistic.

The fact that these people were defeated by the trainees is enough to prove that their strength ranks at the bottom among the reserves.

Even after a period of rest and recuperation following a fierce battle, their strength will inevitably be affected.

So in the end, three reserves were eliminated.

These three people were as if they had been abandoned by the whole world, and they were all taken away by special personnel with pale faces.

A tragic end awaits them.

Although such situations occur every year during the performance evaluation.

However, it cannot be denied that among the reservists who were closest to being eliminated, some people trembled when they saw the three being taken away.

Naraku opened his eyes and looked at the departing figures of the three as they were being taken away.

His eyes were deep.

In fact, the first time he had the idea of ​​breaking the "Seal of the Root of Tongue Disaster" came from his first test.

Seeing the despair in the eyes of those who were eliminated, he realized that he had to gain his freedom.

I'd rather die than be unfree.

The organization's internal assessment passed quietly.

Some people were promoted, and some were demoted.

For Naraku, it was nothing more than a farce.

After the assessment, Naraku, maintaining his position, successfully continued to carry out the ninja academy's mission.

However, seeing the despair of those who were eliminated again still stimulated Naraku, causing him to devote more energy to breaking the "Seal of the Extinction of the Tongue" in the days that followed.

It took another half month.

Finally, on this day, the "Seal of the Extinction of the Root of Tongue Disaster" became a thing of the past.

Chapter 20 Regaining Life

In the woods.

Naraku closed his eyes and sat coiled on a giant rock with his five hearts facing upwards.

He silently used his divine sense to perceive the "Tongue Trouble Root Severing Seal" in his brain, and then used his true energy to cut into it as if threading a needle, until finally, at a certain point, he suddenly severed the core connection of the curse seal.

Om~!

In that instant, the "Tongue Curse Extinction Seal" in Naraku's mind rapidly dissipated until only a faint trace remained.

"It's finally over!"

Having severed the core of the "Seal of the Root of Tongue Calamity" and simultaneously perceived the changes in the curse seal with his divine sense, Naraku finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His face beamed with an irrepressible smile.

Take a deep breath.

After breaking the seal of "Tongue Curse Eradication", Naraku felt that the air around him had become exceptionally clear and sweet.

At the same time, I felt exceptionally light.

This made him a little more unconventional.

With a burst of energy from his legs, he leaped off the boulder, even performing a somersault in mid-air.
