Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 209 Thirty-three people, all wiped out (12)

The second round of the Chunin Exams aimed to assess teamwork between squads and the perspectives of each genin on their respective roles within the squad.

However, since the purpose of the four major ninja villages participating in this joint Chunin Exam was not to demonstrate their national strength, the genin they brought were just there to make up the numbers.

This led to the action against Class 10.

At this moment, after a day, Tokuma and the other two clearly realized that something was wrong.

We encountered seven teams, but all seven teams possessed the Heavenly Scroll, which was quite absurd.

At this moment, Quan spoke up: "After the first exam, twenty-four teams passed and are eligible to participate in the second exam."

"Twenty-four squads, and only twelve sets of scrolls to match. The fact that they know our scrolls are of the 'Heaven' type means... they've joined forces!"

"And within the first hour, the combined forces defeated two other Konoha teams and obtained their scrolls."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tokuma and Hana exchanged a glance.

joint?

Apart from their own squad, the other twenty-three squads, excluding the two from Konoha, would have to unite and trust each other to produce their respective scrolls in order to determine which one was missing.

Do not!

and many more……

Tokuma said, "In fact, we only need to collect all twelve Earth Scrolls to know that our scroll is the Heaven Scroll."

Izumi nodded: "In other words, if the other two Konoha teams are also part of the Heavenly Scroll like us, then perhaps they haven't been in trouble yet."

Hua, standing to the side, glanced at the two and said, "Is it really possible that four villages would unite against us? Can they really trust each other enough to hand over their scrolls?"

After he finished speaking, the group fell silent for a moment.

In the distance, Uchiha Yun, who was silently watching the cave, smiled.

Although the reasons for this second Chunin Exam were different, the process unfolded exactly as I had planned.

When a formidable enemy appears, everyone's first thought is to unite, because failure to unite will lead to destruction.

The teams from the four villages built initial trust due to the mission, but after the first seven teams were eliminated one after another for acting alone, the power of the tenth team will make them realize that going it alone will only lead to elimination.

So next... is the real alliance.

……

As the morning light fell, just as dawn broke the next day, Izumi, who had been taking turns keeping watch, woke Tokuma and Hana.

"Someone's coming."

At the whispered reminder, Tokuma and Hana, who had just opened their eyes, quickly and warily looked around. Even Rimaru, who was standing next to them, sniffed the air.

Roll your eyes, open!

After activating his Byakugan, Tokuma looked around and then frowned, saying, "Three squads, nine people. Don't be careless."

No sooner had he finished speaking than more than ten shuriken appeared.

Earth Release: Ant Hell!

In an instant, the ground inside the cave softened and began to rotate.

But just as he activated his ninjutsu, Tokuma and the other two found a foothold for the stone.

Over the course of more than a year, Kakashi's reputation as the Copy Ninja was well-deserved; the popular ninjutsu that each village excelled at were taught to Team 10.

Naturally, it also includes the hand seals and characteristics of Earth Escape.

"Wind Release: Kamaitachi!"

In an instant, a tremendous gust of wind, accompanied by countless wind blades, swept through the cave.

A miraculous recovery!

The blue circle shattered all the wind blades. After Tokuma stopped, he said, "It seems our guess was correct. The Sand Village's Wind Release and the Rock Village's Earth Release have reached a preliminary level of trust."

Then Quan said, "We have to leave now, or things will get worse!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them rushed out of the cave.

A miraculous recovery!

The hand seals had just appeared in Byakugan's 360-degree view when Tokuma, at the head of the line, used the defense formed by the Rejuvenation Technique to disperse the flames.

Earth Escape, Rock Constellation Collapse.

"boom……!"

The cave behind them had collapsed, and a figure stood on the ruins with a regretful expression on his face.

Even at this moment, the enemy's offensive continued unabated.

"Bang!"

A long sword fell, but Tokuma, who had already seen through the opponent's movements, easily dodged it and countered with a palm strike, directly severing the opponent's chakra pathways.

Meanwhile, Izumi, who was behind Tokuma, had also used genjutsu to take down one of them. With the Sharingan's keen perception, Izumi suddenly looked behind Hana: "Hana!"

Hana frowned slightly, blocked the oncoming short blade with a kunai, and then retreated.

Dental cleaning!

Upon landing, the force of the high-speed rotation instantly reverses and propels it forward.

"boom!!"

Hana casually tossed the stunned Kumogakure ninja to the ground: "Even before being the team's medical ninja, I was still a member of the Inuzuka clan, you bastard!"

From the moment the enemy was discovered in the cave spring to this moment, only a little over ten seconds have passed, but three of the nine members of the three squads have already been knocked down.

Although they were all just genin to fill a quota, and each of them knew only a few ninjutsu with limited power, this still demonstrated the results of Team 10's training over the past year.

"Zhi Tu, your team's mission is complete."

A voice rang out from the collapsed cave, and the Iwagakure genin who had originally used the Rock Collapse technique frowned slightly upon hearing it.

But behind him, two Mist Hidden Squads stepped forward and said, "If the plan fails, your squad's mission will be to take the scroll to the tower to complete the second test. This is the established strategy!"

Zhi Tu nodded indifferently: "Sorry, their reaction was too quick."

The Kirigakure genin chuckled, "It's only under these circumstances that Kirigakure received an apology from Iwagakure... I feel a bit sentimental, but let's hurry up and go!"

"Whoosh!"

After taking one last look at Class 10, Chito disappeared in a flash.

Because of his strength, as the main force in the third exam duel, he only has one chance to attack. If he fails, he can only leave to wait for his teammates.

Not only him, but also in various ninja villages, besides Iwagakure's squad, there was Kirigakure's Nightless Squad.

These two squads, because of the presence of Zhi Tu and Wu Ye, were recognized as forces that must be preserved until the third exam.

Apart from these two teams, the rest can be eliminated in this second test.

In an instant, within Tokuma's 360-degree Byakugan perspective, the number of enemies around him increased dramatically.

"Sixteen, nineteen, twenty-four, thirty-two, thirty-three!"

In the end, the number of people who joined the encirclement reached thirty-three.

Quan sighed helplessly, "Is it because my brother is our teacher that he's become the target of everyone's criticism?"

Hana, standing to the side, shook her head slightly: "Perhaps the main reason is you, as the teacher's younger sister. Being from the same Uchiha clan, and twins at that, is probably why they are so wary..."

Tokuma, who was at the forefront, said in a deep voice, "Although the opponents are not strong, we should not be careless because of their large numbers."

At this moment, the Sand Village genin opposite him said indifferently, "As expected of that person's disciple... Not strong? This is truly the biggest mockery."

No sooner had the words fallen than the thirty-three men who had surrounded Tokuma and his companions simultaneously swung their shuriken straight at them.

With no blind spots in the attack, Tokuma did not use the Rejuvenation Technique again. Instead, using the Byakugan's perspective, he instantly rushed forward to dodge just as everyone raised their hands.

As for Izumi, who is on the second level, she used her shuriken to knock down six shuriken under the dynamic vision of her Sharingan, and then retreated to knock them down with a kunai.

Beneath the specially made, non-reflective steel wire, Izumi swiftly formed hand seals: Fire Release: Fire Dragon Technique.

Flames spread along the steel wire and swept away the Sand Village genin who had just dodged and landed when a huge dog head appeared behind him, biting down and throwing him away.

The green chakra scalpel was also blooming at this moment, blood fell, and a person fell to the ground.

"Bang!"

As the kunai clashed with the short blade, the Kirigakure genin, about to mock the sister of Uchiha Kumo, felt a chill run down his spine.

Izumi withdrew the kunai that had been thrust into him: "Shadow Clone Technique combined with disruptive illusions—what makes you think that what's in front of you is my true form?"

The Hidden Mist genin turned around with difficulty: "You were still able to use such a fire release technique after distributing your chakra... you..."

"Bang."

Before he could finish speaking, he was surrounded and kicked down by Izumi, then vanished from the spot in an instant. The shuriken that followed also landed in empty space.

……

Two hours later, all thirty-three members of the four major ninja villages were wiped out.

At this moment, the three members of Class 10 stood together, panting heavily.

Just as Inuzuka Hana was about to heal her teammate, Tokuma waved his hand and said, "It's just a superficial injury. It's not worth wasting your chakra. The enemy still has two squads, and they're probably still waiting for us at the finish line."

Izumi nodded, "Judging from the current situation, besides us, the other two teams from Konoha have probably been eliminated by them. In this case, only six of them remain in this forest."

Tokuma glanced at the enemies lying on the ground around him: "Let's search them, though they probably won't be carrying them."

The one who consumed the least amount of flowers nodded and began to carefully examine the condition of the scroll.

However, the result was not unexpected. In addition to joining forces, the other party also hid the Earth Scroll.

"Let's find a secluded place to rest and recover our injuries and chakra. Over the next day or so, we must find the scrolls they've hidden."

As Hua carried Quan on her back, she said, "The wound on your calf was from your own wire, and the bleeding has stopped. But it's best to use those kinds of moves less often in the future."

Quan stuck out his tongue: "I can see, but my reaction time is a bit slow. These guys are chasing me too closely, there's nothing I can do."

After saying that, the three of them left.

A moment later.

Yun and Huang Tu appeared here. The medical team that followed quickly also sprang into action, providing emergency treatment to the severely injured and unconscious genin by stopping the bleeding.

Looking at all the injured young genin, Yun smiled and said to Huang Tu beside him, "The younger generation who haven't experienced the Ninja World War seem to be much more accepting of alliances."

Huang Tu remained silent for a moment, then said, "Your sister, judging solely by her current strength, is already capable of serving as a Jonin."

Seeing that the other party's answer was irrelevant, Yun shook her head helplessly: "What a Jonin needs is not just strength. Of course, there are exceptions if one's strength reaches a certain level. But clearly, she is not yet qualified."

As she spoke, Yun turned to look at the other side, where several of the less seriously injured guys had already woken up.

Several people lay on stretchers, each one indignant at the enemy they had just faced in the tenth squad. Their shared hatred for the enemy made them seem like friends from the same village.

It seems that what I've been thinking all along was right: war sometimes brings not only hatred, but also the feelings of comrades-in-arms.

However, this feeling will soon be worn away by their respective positions.

If we don't want to be forgotten, then we must put our positions together.

At that moment, Huang Tu glanced at Yun out of the corner of his eye.

After spending several days together, Huang Tu found himself increasingly unable to understand the other person.

Why would someone who has experienced a war still have such naive ideas?

At this moment, a disagreement seemed to arise among the several genin who were chatting.

"As expected of Iwagakure, they can come up with such a despicable plan."

"You bastard! What do you mean by that?"

"Heh...isn't that right? Back then, they ambushed us from behind, using their numbers to wear down the Third Raikage. We, the Hidden Cloud Village, will never forget this grudge!"

"Ha! You haven't forgotten? If I remember correctly, your Fourth Raikage was killed by Konoha, yet you now call each other allies. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"You bastard! What did you say?!"

"A fool who infiltrated Konoha to steal the Hyuga's Byakugan, only to lose the war in the end—what a self-inflicted wound!"

"This statement is merely Konoha's side of the story!"

"My teacher said that over the years, Kumogakure has been stealing secret techniques and bloodline limits from various ninja villages. Your intentions simply cannot withstand scrutiny."

"Want to fight, you bastard!"

Come on!

At this moment, a Sunagakure genin advised, "We were all comrades just now. If we start fighting like this, Konoha will laugh at us."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two people who had just been arguing turned around and looked at him at the same time.

"The groveling Sand Village has no right to speak!"

"The Sand Village, which has been consistently defeated, has no right to speak!"

Coincidentally, the two of them simultaneously targeted the Sunagakure genin.

And so, the argument escalated to the point where one more guy joined the group, ready to fight.

As for the genin from Kirigakure, considering that Ao-sama from their own village seemed to have a Byakugan, it was best for them to remain silent at this time.

……

The clouds, not far away, smiled as they watched this scene.

This... is ultimately a matter of differing stances.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ao placed a hand on his eyepatch. Would Konoha demand that the Byakugan inside be taken back?

What choice will Kirigakure make at that time?

Watching the arguing genin being reprimanded by their respective village leaders, Ao hesitated.

After all, the Hidden Mist Village has already experienced a significant power gap. Especially in the generation after him, the number of ninjas is too small, let alone geniuses.

……

I'll try my best to adjust today, and I'll still write 9,000 to 10,000 words every day. Thank you so much!
