I'm drawing manga in Naruto

“Your teammates killed many people. I advise you to give up the exam and go find the Sand Ninja to explain things.”

Akabane offered a word of advice, then got up and left.

I just compared them. There are a total of five scrolls. Two of them point to the same place, while the codes on the remaining scrolls all point to different locations.

"Sakumo and the others must have gotten some as well. Let's combine them and see what happens."

He put away the scroll, preparing to hunt and then meet up with Shuo Mao and the others.

As for the two ninjas, he had said everything he needed to say, and what they did next was their own business and none of his concern.

Chapter 130 Exam? Perfect timing for a nap.

"Akaba didn't say when he'd be back, how are we supposed to contact him?"

Zixiao and Shuomao hid under the rocks.

Three scrolls were laid out in a row in front of them.

Each of these scrolls is different, making it impossible to know where to begin.

"Just wait, he'll definitely contact us."

Shuo Mao said calmly.

He understands Chiyu better than Zixiao. No matter what Chiyu does when he goes out, he will definitely keep his promise.

Zi Xiao remained silent for a moment, then nodded without a sound.

In fact, they all knew that Akabane's departure from the team couldn't be based on a superficial reason—how could someone so lazy want to go out for a stroll alone for no reason?

The only explanation is that he can't talk about his affairs.

Since that's the case, neither of them questioned it, maintaining the necessary tacit understanding.

At that moment, a voice came from above: "Shuo Mao understands me best, unlike someone who worries about this and that and doesn't trust me at all!"

The next second, five scrolls were thrown down.

"Five cards, not bad!"

Zi Xiao ran over and picked it up, then looked at it closely.

The eight scrolls are placed together. Three of them have a coordinate, while the other five are in random positions.

The destination is self-evident.

Sakumo picked up the correct scroll, checked the directions, and then waved his hand: "Let's go."

"I've checked, this is the central location, we need to head in this direction."

Akabane remained squatting on top, showing no intention of getting down. "By the way, I saw Suna and his group on my way here."

Did he make a move?

Zi Xiao asked somewhat nervously.

“Sunasuke didn’t notice me, but I saw him manipulating iron sand, so it must be a brand new escape technique.”

of course……

The so-called iron sand is pure nonsense. Suna didn't use any large-scale Magnet Release ninjutsu at all. However, his control over the shuriken he threw clearly showed that he had already mastered Magnet Release.

Sakumo pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, "I've heard that the One-Tail's ability is to manipulate sand."

"He's a Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast? That's impossible!"

Zi Xiao didn't quite believe it.

Not everyone possesses the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, and dealing with a tailed beast is no easy task. Moreover, every village considers its Jinchuriki as its last resort, so how could they possibly allow him to become the Kazekage's disciple and participate in the Chunin Exams?

"Perhaps the Sand Village has developed a new ninjutsu from the One-Tailed Beast. In any case, we must be careful not to fall into his trap."

Akabane was just giving a reminder.

After careful consideration, he realized that apart from his expertise in illusion techniques, which allowed him to ignore the effects of Magnet Release to some extent, everyone else would be affected to varying degrees.

For example, Shuomao.

When a knife is affected by magnetism, even the most skilled knife technique will be greatly diminished.

They understand this principle better than anyone else.

Throughout the journey, Shuo Mao and Zi Xiao remained silent, their expressions growing increasingly grave.

Such a character would be virtually invincible in the Chunin Exams.

As they neared their destination, Sakumo took a deep breath, his eyes brimming with fighting spirit: "I really hope to run into someone like that and have a fight with him, then this trip won't have been in vain."

Without a doubt, Suna is the number one of the new generation in Sunagakure after mastering the new ninjutsu.

For a battle maniac like him, the stronger the opponent, the more excited he becomes.

"Stop talking, let's get to our destination first."

Zi Xiao urged.

Akabane raised his head and could already see the mountains in the distance.

The coordinates are on this mountain.

The mountains of the Wind Kingdom remain desolate, but the mountains here are even more chaotic and dangerous.

Fortunately, Shuo Mao has wolf fangs.

Wolf Fang is still young, but he is already an excellent ninja dog, capable of keenly detecting traps on the mountain.

In addition, someone passed by, so they didn't encounter any danger along the way.

Before long, the destination came into view—

Similar to the Root Squad's base, this is a base built in the middle of a mountain.

"I didn't expect you to be the second team to arrive."

Suna was somewhat surprised.

Based on the information, Orochimaru's team is stronger in terms of ability and overall quality, while Akabane and his team are also very strong, but they are probably not as good at searching.

That's how it should normally be, but now...

take an exam?

Where can you find the joy of research and hunting!

Akabane smiled slightly, said nothing, found a place to sit down and began to hibernate.

He was exhausted in this sweltering heat.

Undeterred by the rebuff from Akabane, Sunako smiled and asked Shishou, "Where are the rest of you from Konoha?"

"I don't know, we came in separately, how could we possibly come together?"

Zixiao shrugged and followed Shuo Mao to sit down next to Chiyu.

The five people from Sunagakure were likely from two combined teams, but someone from one of the teams was killed in action.

Not long after, a sound came from outside.

Then another figure crossed the hill and arrived at the same spot.

"who is it?"

Zi Xiao turned her head to look around.

"Stop looking, it's Shinku and the others."

Sakumo closed his eyes and tapped the ground in front of him with his short sword.

The next second, a person slowly emerged from the ground.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke!

Subsequently, Ash Crimson and Moonlight Night Dance appeared one after another.

"Hey, Sand Village brat, you didn't expect we'd still make it this far, did you?"

When Shinnosuke saw Sasuke, a cold smile appeared on his face, making him look very unfriendly.

Akabane frowned slightly.

It seems they've met before and even had a fight.

"Sorry, we were just anxious teammates too."

Suna bowed slightly, but showed no sign of apology.

"Humph!"

Shinnosuke didn't say anything harsh.

He had fought with Suna once, so they knew each other's strength to some extent. As things stand, he was no match for Suna.

Akabane seemed to be deep in thought.

He then sat down and secretly formed a hand seal.

When Yuhi Shinku and Tsukiko Yoru arrived, he completed the illusion, pulling both groups into the illusion.

This illusion is very simple; it's just a blank space.

Zixiao was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood and began to ask Shinnosuke what had happened.

After exchanging information, both sides gained a better understanding of Suna's strength.

As the illusion dissipated, Orochimaru and his two companions arrived, followed closely by two Sand Ninja and three Waterfall Ninja.

At this moment, the signal came from outside.

time up!

This means that, apart from them, no one else can advance to the third round.

"There are seven teams left in total, which is a bit too many people."

Zi Xiao said in a low voice.

"It's okay, I can go to sleep now."

Akabane answered nonchalantly.

At the same time, he glanced at the three Taki ninja.

These three are seriously injured, and the way they look at Orochimaru is strange. They probably have to thank Orochimaru for getting them here.

Shuo Mao didn't notice any of this.

Knowing Suna's strength, his fighting spirit against this prey intensified.

Before everyone could rest, a powerful voice came from afar: "You little brats, get up and prepare for the competition."

A figure leaped down from the mountain and landed in the very center of the valley.

Then, figures appeared from the passage above the canyon.

Kazekage Shamon, Chiyo, Ebizo, as well as Kazami Hatake and some other Jonin from other ninja villages.

The third round of exams is here!

"I am Tanaka Joji, the chief examiner for this exam and a Jonin from Sunagakure. Is there anyone who wishes to withdraw?"

Tanaka asked.

After a long silence, he nodded and began to explain the rules.

"This exam will be a one-on-one competition. There are no restrictions on ninja tools, bloodline limits, or ninjutsu. Once a player concedes, the other is not allowed to fight..."

"If there are no problems, let's begin the third exam."

Chapter 131 Sorry, you spoke too slowly.

"First group, Moonlight Dance vs..."

Akabane glanced at the opponent; it was one of the three from Takigakure.
