Chapter 36: Chapter 36
It seemed that Kazuki guessed what Sasuke was thinking.
Kakashi added, "If the two of them don't find the bell before noon, you have another chance in the afternoon."
Sasuke's eyes lit up when he heard there was still a chance, but then he frowned.
"Didn't I get eliminated?"
He remembered that the rules didn't say he could be resurrected. If it wasn't a rule, it would be charity! And Sasuke wouldn't ask Kakashi for any charity!
Kakashi glanced at Sasuke and said, "Someone has to get the bell."
"What does my elimination have to do with them not grabbing the bell? Do all the eliminated people get another chance?" Sasuke asked coldly.
"It doesn't matter, but if they didn't find the bell within the stipulated time, it's also a kind of elimination. So you are no different."
After hearing what Kakashi said, Sasuke could accept it in his heart.
Failure to find the bell and being defeated by Kakashi are both considered eliminations!
There is no difference between the two!
At this time, Kakashi suddenly said in a serious tone, "Of course, not everyone who is eliminated will get another chance."
"Then how can we get this opportunity?" Sasuke asked with a cold expression.
Kakashi took out one of Jiraiya's masterpieces from his ninja tool bag, started reading it with a nonchalant expression, and then casually said the new rules!
"Kill! Haru! No! Sakura!"
Sasuke's pupils suddenly shrank, his eyes widening as if he heard something unbelievable.
"Why?"
Sasuke's eyes showed confusion and disbelief.
He had never heard of any ninja who had to fight each other to become a ninja.
Of course, most of what he knew about ninjas was what he heard from the Uchiha clan members, and he had no idea how other ninjas in Konoha operated.
"The resources of ninjas are limited. Whether it is me or other jōnin, we all have our ways to eliminate unqualified ninjas, and my way is to kill the useless ones!"
Sasuke was silent for a long time.
He neither agreed nor opposed it.
He didn't figure it out until he left the forest.
And Kakashi did not continue to induce him, but just gave him such a choice.
Whether he does it or not depends on Sasuke himself.
Soon it will be noon.
Kazuki and Sakura found a dozen golden iron sheets and destroyed dozens of traps, but couldn't find a single bell.
"Really, with so many fake bells and so many insidious traps, Kakashi-sensei is too abominable!"
Just now, Sakura was hit by the anesthetic poison prepared by Kakashi and fainted for a long time.
At this moment, Kakashi came out and attacked them.
If it weren't for Kazuki's protection, she would have been taken away and eliminated!
Sakura punched the air in her heart, wanting to beat Kakashi up!
As for the bell, Kazuki didn't care.
He guessed that there was no real bell in it at all.
The bell must have been hidden by Kakashi!
Or just not in the forest at all.
With Kakashi's calculations, they would definitely not pass the test easily.
After all, finding the bell was not the real content of his assessment at all.
Kakashi gave them a time limit of noon, but he prepared two lunch boxes, obviously expecting that they would not pass the test.
When they came out of the forest, they immediately saw Sasuke, who was meditating in a daze.
"Sasuke!"
Sakura saw Sasuke and happily waved hello.
But Sasuke turned a blind eye to her actions, which made Sakura a little dissatisfied.
"Humph, you pretentious guy!"
Sakura was not one to be hot-tempered, so she turned around and hugged Kazuki's arm.
"My Kazuki is better, handsome, strong, and gentle!"
Looking at the two of them, Kazuki just felt amused.
He patted Sakura's hand and said, "Sasuke has always been like this. It's not like you don't know. Don't be angry with him."
After saying that, Kazuki walked up to Sasuke.
"What, you're not happy about being punished by Kakashi?"
"Snort!"
The arrogant Sasuke snorted coldly, even ignoring Kazuki.
He was still debating whether to kill Haruno Sakura, because only by killing her could he regain the chance to become a ninja.
But he was also worried that killing Haruno Sakura would offend Kazuki. If this incident led to him and Kazuki breaking off their relationship, that would be something he didn't want to happen.
This was not because of his deep bond with Kazuki, but because he needed Kazuki's help to get revenge!
Moreover, Kazuki was his only clan member in this world, and he did not want to offend Kazuki over this matter.
Kazuki's help was indispensable for the revival of the Uchiha!
He glanced at Haruno Sakura without giving it away.
He wondered if she had received a mission from Kakashi. If Kakashi asked Haruno Sakura to kill him or Kazuki, would she do it?
Thinking of this, Sasuke became a little nervous.
It wasn't that he was worried about being killed by Haruno Sakura, but mainly that he was worried about Kazuki.
With the relationship between Kazuki and Haruno Sakura, she had many opportunities to kill Kazuki!
No!
Haruno Sakura must not be allowed to succeed!
"Kazuki!"
"Um?"
Just when Sasuke was about to tell Kazuki the secret, Kakashi suddenly appeared.
At the same time, he was holding two lunch boxes in his hands.
"It's past noon, and you all have failed the assessment. Congratulations! You have all been eliminated!" Kakashi said with a smile.
He seemed very happy that the three of them were eliminated.
Sakura said unhappily, "It's such a big forest, the bell is so small, and you've set up so many traps and tricks. How can it be so easy to find?"
Kakashi was noncommittal. "There are many ninjas in this world with special reconnaissance abilities. If you can't find the bell, you can't blame the big forest or the small bell, let alone the traps I set. You can only blame your lack of ability, understand?"
"Can it be said that if you fail in future missions, you can blame the enemy for being too strong and the mission for being too difficult?"
"If the mission is not difficult, what else do we need ninjas for?"
Sakura was speechless and could only remain silent.
Kakashi did not continue to criticize her. He stopped and said with a smile, "But you don't have to worry. Although you didn't pass the test in the morning, I will give you another chance in the afternoon."
As he said this, he glanced at Sasuke, which made Sasuke's heart tremble!
"Is this urging me to take action?"
Sasuke secretly clenched his fists, still hesitant.
At this time, Sakura said happily, "We still have one afternoon? That's great! Kakashi-sensei, you are so kind!"
Kakashi raised the corners of his mouth, placed the two lunch boxes in front of Kazuki and Sakura, and suddenly said seriously:
"Sasuke is the first one to be eliminated, so he doesn't get a lunch box today. You two can each have one. Remember, you can't give it to Sasuke; otherwise, you two will be completely eliminated!"
"Understand?"
Sakura was frightened by Kakashi and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Kazuki didn't respond, even yawning.
The sun was just right, perfect for taking a nap.
