Chapitre 366: A Shocking Time!
"Hehehe..."
Rin smiled in satisfaction. She now remembered the joy she felt when she got the scroll. When she found the scroll, she was so excited that she quickly picked the scroll up. She didn't even dare to look at it and quickly ran toward the No. 19 entrance.
In less than five minutes, she had found the Scroll of Heaven in a bird's nest.
It was to the extent that she had been waiting at the entrance for more than twenty minutes, waiting for Saki and Aoba to return.
This period of time was relatively difficult...
It wasn't until the time approached that Saki came over, and she finally let go of her hanging heart.
Rin was very happy to tell Saki that she had already obtained the Scroll of Heaven. However, Saki quickly calmed her down because Saki thought of a very interesting thing.
"Rin, we got the Scroll of Heaven. Don't tell Aoba yet. I want to tease him!" Saki blinked her big eyes and said with a smile.
"Ah?!"
Rin was stunned at that time. She did not expect Saki to make such a request. However, she only hesitated for a moment and understood what Saki meant. She immediately nodded. It seemed that she was very interested in this matter!
"Just do it!"
Rin immediately agreed with Saki's decision. She couldn't help but look forward to it.
"Saki, what should we tell Aoba?" Rin asked.
"Let me tell you!"
A meaningful look flashed across Saki's face as she said, "We are not trying to hide anything. We just want to give Aoba a surprise. Don't expose yourself too quickly."
Saki had never intended to hide anything. Moreover, they were all on the same team, so there was no need to hide anything. So to what extent can it be done, it was just for fun.
...
Saki and Rin discussed with each other about teasing Aoba, but all of them were heard by the ninja outside the entrance. This made the ninja's face darken, and his mood became even more complicated.
This team...
It was too strange!
Not only did they get 30 points in the first round, but they also got the Scroll of Heaven less than half an hour after entering the second round venue.
This scene.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes...
He couldn't believe such a thing!
When he went on the mission to hide the Scroll of Heaven, he had once thought to himself: If the Scroll of Heaven was hidden in this way, can a team really discover this?
Wouldn't it mean that few participating teams would pass this round?
After all.
With this method of hiding the scroll.
How could a team discover it?
At that time, this ninja had thought that if a team wanted to get the Scroll of Heaven, he would have to satisfy two points.
First, one of the ten teams would choose to enter through the No. 19 or No.1 entrance.
Second, the team that entered through the No. 19 or No. 1 entrance had extremely meticulous thoughts and did not rush out immediately; perhaps they could see the scroll.
These two points were indispensable!
But...
He had never thought that it would be discovered like this. Before this team entered the venue, they had already gone through an incredible analysis and perfectly cut into the layout point that Chief Examiner Akimichi Choza, who had requested how the venue would be arranged. Moreover, they found the Scroll of Heaven very smoothly.
If all of these were added together, then things would become even more terrifying.
Not only did he hear the analysis of Aoba's team, but he also heard their follow-up plan.
As long as they got the Scroll of Heaven.
Then they would immediately charge in the direction of the tower.
This way.
This team might even break the fastest record that finishes the Second Round of the Chunin Exams.
This was even more terrifying!
In a moment.
This terrifying thought emerged in his heart when this ninja saw Aoba, Saki, and Rin gather together again.
This kind of team was not so favored by others...
Even an inconspicuous one.
But they could actually do something like breaking records in a row!
No matter how he thought about it...
It was terrifying!
...
After Aoba expressed his surprise to Saki and Rin, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"That's great!"
"We have indeed obtained the Scroll of Heaven!"
"Now we are at least one of the five teams that can advance to the third round!"
"The other teams must be busy looking for the Scroll of Heaven!"
"We just need to reach the tower as fast as possible!"
"In that case..."
"We can pass the second round as soon as possible!"
Aoba said one sentence after another. When he said these words, his eyes were shining, as if he had already seen the hope of getting out of this place.
"That's right!"
Saki nodded. She also felt the same way. Her beautiful eyes fell on Aoba, and her eyes flashed with appreciation.
"Now we don't need to do anything anymore!"
"The conditions for passing the second round are completely fulfilled!"
"Scroll of Heaven and Scroll of Earth!"
"In addition, we are in food condition!"
"The sooner we pass, the safer we will be!"
"We must run at full speed in the tower's direction to avoid the long night and dreams, but we must not let our guard down!"
Saki made some summaries and conclusions based on Aoba's words. Her thoughts were exactly the same as Aoba's: to reach the tower as soon as possible and complete the Chunin Exams' second round.
Although the Scroll of Heaven was in their hands right now.
But...
Before the dust settled, anything could happen.
"Let's go."
The smile on Aoba's face disappeared. He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the tower. He looked very serious as if there was an unknown road full of thorns in front of him.
However.
In fact.
Through his powerful perception, Aoba had already determined that there were no enemies in front of them.
"Good!"
Saki and Rin nodded at the same time. Their expressions also became serious. After the brief relaxation with Aoba, their minds returned to the Chunin Exams.
Immediately.
The three of them jumped up.
They kept shuttling through the woods.
"Aoba, I will lead the way. You follow behind me. Rin will be the last. This way, we can ensure everyone can reach the tower safely." Saki quickly ran to the front of Aoba and directly led the way, taking part in the risk.
"Okay."
Aoba did not refuse Saki's good intentions. He had been sensing the situation in Forest of Death using his chakra perceptions.
Although he could not determine the specific identity of these people through the chakra he sensed, he knew the movements of these people and their position.
Right now, they were on their way to the tower.
And according to what he sensed, they would not encounter anyone.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Under Saki's lead, the three of them quickly ran toward the tall tower. She did not use her full speed. The purpose was not only to make Aoba and Rin less tired but also to be wary of encountering an ambush or attack on the way.
Gradually.
Time ticked by.
More than twenty minutes had passed.
An entire hour has passed since the start of the second round of Chunin Exams.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden.
Saki stopped.
She stood on a tree branch and looked ahead. Not far ahead in her sight was their ultimate goal, and also the ultimate goal of Chunin Exams's second round - the Tower!
"What's wrong?"
Aoba stopped on the same branch, followed by Rin, who was also confused.
"The tower is in front," Saki said in a low voice.
"Yes, I saw it. It's about two thousand meters away." Aoba nodded and said.
"Don't you think things are going too smoothly?" Saki looked at Aoba. She felt that everything was too fast and too sudden. After all, they got a full score in the first round. Now, they had arrived at the tower in an hour. Everything was going too smoothly.
"Maybe our luck is better?" Rin said. She did not think much of it. Indeed, her luck value was higher.
"This..."
Saki held her chin with her right hand. She was thinking about some complicated things. She still felt that everything was going too smoothly, so much so that she felt something was wrong.
"Aoba."
"Tell me the truth."
"Have you been bought by Brother Shikaku?"
"So..."
"We can get so much information about the Chunin Exam!"
Saki stared at Aoba suspiciously. When the first round ended, she had already wondered if Aoba already knew the answer and had already prepared the tags beforehand.
This first round created a feeling that it was difficult for them to pass the Chunin Exams on their own, and then let them see the twists and turns and pass the exam directly with a record-breaking attitude.
Including the current Scroll of Heaven.
They didn't encounter any other participants along the way.
The whole second round was like a stand-alone game.
Wasn't this a bit too exaggerated?
"What are you thinking?"
Aoba looked at Saki in surprise. Her imagination was a bit too rich. She actually thought of this thing.
"Saki, in your heart, is your Brother Shikaku's image so big?" Aoba said helplessly.
"Really not?" Saki stared at Aoba doubtfully. In fact, she did not want to think about this thing. However, once this thought appeared, she could not help but think. Aoba did not seem to have a high sense of existence in the team. However, when she looked back at the first two rounds, they were all carried out by Aoba.
"Of course not." Aoba shook his head. The corners of his mouth curled up in a disdainful arc, "I won't change my way of doing things because of others. Whether Shikaku hopes that we can win or lose is his business. It has nothing to do with me."
"I understand." Saki nodded. She did not continue to pursue this topic. However, she would think about it in her heart. After all, her brain was not so useless. She still had some logical thinking ability. However, what happened in the Chunin Exam made her feel a little abnormal. Even she did not know whether to attribute this matter to strength or luck.
"Saki, you..." Rin was completely stunned. She did not expect that Saki would make such speculation, so much so that she did not know what to say.
"It doesn't matter,"
Aoba said indifferently. His tone slightly changed, and became indifferent. No matter what kind of mentality he had, he felt that he was being questioned. This was also something he did not like.
"Let's hurry up and finish the second round. This way, you can advance to the third round. Next is a personal battle. You don't need me. The cooperation between us can also be declared over." Aoba had been in a good mood not long ago, but now, following Saki's words, it had disappeared.
"Aoba, that's not what I meant..." Saki clearly felt Aoba's displeasure, but she did not know how to explain it. After all, holding back those words was uncomfortable once she had the question she wanted to ask. Just like when they had just signed up, she had asked Aoba if Nara Shikaku had asked him anything.
"I understand what you mean." Aoba looked at the tower in front of them. He did not continue to pester about this problem. He did not explain anything and directly said, "Let's go to the tower."
"Okay... okay..."
After hearing Aoba's words, the question mark in Saki's heart did not fade but became more vigorous.
After all, Aoba took a more passive approach to her question.
That feeling was like...
I said I'm not, then I'm not. Believe it or not, it's up to you. I don't want to explain anything.
Such an attitude.
When Saki looked over it.
It was a sign of a guilty conscience.
In addition, Aoba seemed to want to go to the tower as soon as possible, as if she was quickly completing a mission here.
This added to the misunderstanding that had not been solved, which made the misunderstanding deeper.
Rin silently watched the conversation between Saki and Aoba. She seemed to understand it, but she did not completely understand it. She wanted to ask Saki what was going on, but now it seemed that it was not the time to ask. This made her feel very strange.
However.
The two of them had the same goal.
That was to pass Chunin Exams.
Now that the second round was about to be cleared, it was indeed not the time to waste time. She then forcefully suppressed the doubts in her heart and did not think about this matter anymore.
...
Saki led the way again.
Aoba followed behind her.
Rin was at the back.
From the formation, there was no difference from just now. It was just that after Saki's words, everyone's mood had changed to a certain extent.
Five minutes later.
Saki brought the team to the entrance of the tower.
At this moment.
At the tower's entrance stood two ninjas dressed in Konohagakure's ninja clothes. They stood on both sides of the tower entrance, and their eyes fell on Aoba and the other two.
"No way, right?"
"So fast?"
"How long has it been?"
"They're already here?"
"????"
The two ninjas guarding the tower looked at each other. These ninjas could not help but mutter. Their eyes were full of surprise, and they felt that it was very unrealistic.
"Are you going to enter the tower?"
One of the ninjas guarding the tower asked. His tone was still very puzzled. Minato's team created the fastest record for arriving here, but it still took them more than four hours.
However, this team only took an hour to arrive.
This was very exaggerated!
The most important thing was...
Whether a team has already collected both scrolls or not, reaching this place in such a short period was already very difficult to a certain extent.
"Yes, we want to enter the tower." Saki nodded and said. In order to become a Chunin, she put in a lot of effort. Now that it was close to her, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Do you know what it means to enter here?" One of two ninjas guarding the entrance said, "Only those who qualify can enter the tower. In other words, entering the tower is equivalent to passing the second round. Do you have the Scroll of Heaven and the Scroll of Earth in your hands? If you don't, you can't enter!"
"We got all of them."
Saki nodded at the two ninjas guarding the entrance. Her mood was very complicated now. This kind of thing should have made her feel extremely happy, but her mood became extremely complicated on the way here.
She really couldn't be sure if the current results were real or fake!
If everything was true, then it could be said that the strength of their team was very strong, and she could also have no worries.
But...
She was most afraid that all the results were fake!
That would make her feel like she was a clown.
"Rin, give me the scroll."
Saki forcibly suppressed the complicated feelings in her heart and raised her hand to ask Rin for it. No matter what, what she needed to do now was to pass the second round of the Chunin Exams.
"Okay!"
Rin immediately nodded. After that, she grabbed her ninja pouch and took two scrolls from it.
One was the Scroll of Heaven with the word "Heaven" written.
The other was the Scroll of Earth with the word "Earth" written.
The two scrolls were all in Rin's hands.
Such a scene.
The two ninjas who were guarding the entrance were dumbfounded.
"Really?"
The pupils of the two ninjas fiercely contracted. It had only been an hour. Not only had they come to the tower from the outside, but they had also found the Scroll of Heaven.
This kind of speed was already too exaggerated.
The two ninjas did not know what words to use to describe them.
"Can we go in now?"
Saki said lightly. She felt that this was supposed to be a happy moment for her. After all, she could take these two scrolls and take the lead in passing the second round of the Chunin Exam. She could also enjoy the envious gazes of these people.
But...
The current her.
She couldn't be happy.
Just now, she kept thinking about things when she was on her way. She increasingly felt that Shikaku revealed the clues provided by Aoba. Even that day, at the Anbu's dormitory, Aoba and Shikaku directed and acted on their own.
In fact.
This couldn't be blamed on Saki thinking too much.
The strength that Aoba had revealed himself was just a little bit lacking. Even Fugaku, who was more familiar with Aoba, felt that Aoba would just follow Saki and Rin to pass the CHunin Exam.
But the truth was not like this.
Not only did Aoba not drag them down, he even transformed into a true thigh that they could hold...
This was completely different from what Aoba had shown in the past.
And obviously.
There was a problem here!
The more Saki thought about it, the more she felt that the possibility of this was extremely high, especially since Aoba did not explain at all. This made the big knot in her heart become bigger and bigger.
However.
Now, she only thought about it.
Now was not the time to talk about these things.
She wanted to pass the second round as much as possible; then, they would have a lot of time to talk about it slowly.
This was her personality.
She did not rub sand in her eyes.
No matter what she found out, she would say it bluntly. If she were wrong, she would not hesitate to apologize.
Of course.
She already knew about the matter Shikaku had arranged for her!
However, because Shikaku was the chief examiner, she temporarily did not go to Shikaku to talk about these things.
She wanted to wait until the second round was over.
And in the time before the third round start.
She would definitely find Shikaku and ask him in detail.
After all...
Even now, she wasn't sure what Shikaku's motive for doing this.
"You...you...you can...you can go in..."
The two ninjas nodded at Saki. Now, the shock in their hearts became even stronger.
This was no longer as simple as coming to the tower.
Instead, they took two scrolls and went straight to the tower.
Suddenly.
One of the ninjas took out a watch from his ninja pouch and looked at the time.
15:37.
"Hiss..."
The ninja instantly sucked in a breath of cold air. The second round of the Chunin Exam began at 14:30.
As a result.
This team's time coming here was one hour and seven minutes. In total, it was 67 minutes.
"A new record..."
The ninja had already confirmed this matter before he said this sentence.
"You guys can enter."
The two ninjas immediately move to both sides of the entrance. They raised their hands to push open the door, revealing the empty corridor of the tall tower and indicating that they could enter.
"Congratulations!"
One of the two ninjas said slowly. His face was filled with a solemn expression. Now, he looked at the three people as if he was looking at a monster.
"You passed the second round of the Chunin Exams!"
"You are the first team to come here!"
"You can enter the tower and rest!"
After saying this, the ninja's breathing became even more rapid.
From the looks of these three people.
A boy.
Two girls.
They didn't seem to be very powerful at all.
However, they quickly found a way to pass the second round under the harsh environment. This was already a manifestation of their terrifying abilities.
"Thank you."
Saki nodded politely at the two ninjas guarding the entrance. After she said this, she immediately looked at Aoba and Rin behind her.
"Let's go in together!" Saki gave the two of them a look.
"En."x2
Aoba and Rin agreed almost at the same time. They followed behind Saki and walked into the tower.
"Right!"
At this time, a ninja looked at Aoba and the other two. He suddenly made a sound and immediately stopped the three of them.
"The Scroll of Heaven and the Scroll of Earth have been tested. It does not affect you. You can choose to keep it as a souvenir or directly open them to see what secrets are hidden inside."
The ninja told them.
He was a ninja who specialized in this job.
Every team that arrives, he would tell this.
"I understand. Thank you!"
Saki thanked the two ninjas and entered. As she walked, she looked at the two scrolls in her hand.
"There's no need to keep this!"
"Let's open it directly!"
"Let's see what is written inside..."
Saki was very curious, and her resistance to this kind of thing was relatively weak.
"I think it's possible!" Rin nodded and agreed with Saki.
"I don't care," Aoba said indifferently. After being suspected by Saki, his feelings for this team changed.
"Then I'll open it when we get into a room!"
It was Aoba's opinion that Saki asked for.
After all, in her opinion.
In the first round, Aoba gave the answers to the test paper.
This answer allowed them to pass the first round of Chunin Exams.
They even break the record!
....
In the second round, it was also because of Aoba's analysis that they could determine the location of the Scroll of Heaven.
Although the person who got the Scroll of Heaven was Rin, without Aoba's words, Rin would not have been able to get the Scroll of Heaven.
Therefore.
It could also be seen that Aoba won the Scroll of Heaven!
As for these two points.
Saki did not deny this thing!
Only...
Right now, she wasn't very clear if Aoba had actually relied on his own strength to obtain these two points or if he had received a hint from Shikaku.
Very quickly.
Saki brought Aoba and Ron into a room in the tower.
The room was empty.
There was a mural hanging on the wall.
On the mural was a series of words, and these words seemed to have something to do with the Scroll of Heaven and the Scroll of Earth.
"What is this?!"
The mural immediately attracted Saki's curiosity, and she slowly read it.
"If "Heaven" does not exist, enrich your knowledge, and prepare for the chance."
"If "Earth" does not exist, run the field in search of an advantage."
"Open the series of Heaven and Earth, and the perilous way shall be redressed."
"This is a "___" ultimate secret for leadership."
"Sign..."
"Third Hokage!"
After reading all the words on the top, Saki seemed to understand something in her heart, but she also seemed not to understand anything.
"Saki, what does this mean? Why can't I understand?" Rin blinked her eyes and stared at the words on the wall. If the words on the wall were taken out separately, she recognized them. But she had no idea what they meant when they were put together.
"Aoba, do you know?" Saki asked Aoba. She took the initiative to ease the relationship between her and Aoba. Although she still had a knot in her heart, it did not stop her from thinking that Aoba was a good person. She just wanted to understand more clearly what was going on. What kind of role did Shikaku play?
"I am not very clear." Aoba shook his head. He was too lazy to think about it. After that, he said, "Let's open the scroll!"
"Okay!"
Saki nodded. She was already very curious about the scroll. She held the Scroll of Heaven in her left hand and gently broke the seal of the Scroll of Heaven. Then, she also broke the seal of the Scroll of Earth in her other hand. Her two hands held the edge of the Scroll of Heaven and the Scroll of Earth, respectively. At the same time, she released her grip.
The Scroll of Heaven and Scroll of Earth roll down and open up.
There were no words on these two scrolls.
Instead, they were a series of seals.
"Ah?!"
There was a hint of disappointment in Saki's expression. This was not what she had imagined at all.
"What is this?"
Saki looked at the ghost-like thing on the scroll. It could be said that she did not recognize any of them. She had no idea what this thing was used for.
"This is the Summoning Seals," Aoba said lightly. Others might not recognize it, but he was too clear about it. When he was learning about these seals, he drew them countless times.
"Summoning Seals?!"
When Saki and Rin heard Aoba's words, they immediately widened their eyes, revealing the same shock.
Bang!
Just as the two of them were in shock.
Along with a burst of air, a figure emerged from the white smoke and appeared in front of Aoba and the other two.
The moment this figure appeared.
They could only vaguely see the outline of this person here, but they could not see his face at first.
Of course.
Aoba was an exception.
The moment this person appeared, Aoba knew who this person was. He helplessly curled his lips.
Coming here!
And throw a smoke grenade!
Pretending to be mysterious!
Aoba couldn't help but roll his eyes at the person inside the smoke.
"Congratulations on passing the second round of Chunin Exams. I am proud of you. You are really great!"
All of a sudden.
A voice sounded from the smoke.
The voice was very familiar.
There was no need to think about it.
Saki and Rin knew who it was.
"Brother Fugaku... Why is it you?"
Saki said with great regret that what popped out of the scroll was something she hadn't expected. It made her feel greatly disappointed.
"Your performance really surprised me. I did not expect that I would be summoned so quickly!"
"Do you miss your Brother Fugaku?"
"I volunteered to take on this job!"
The corners of Fugaku's mouth rose. His gaze swept over Aoba and the others. To be honest, the shock in his heart was far too great and too happy.
He had thought that the team formed by Aoba and the other two would pass the second round of the Chunin Exams, but he did not expect it to be so fast. This really made him feel incredible.
What exactly happened?
He was not very clear in his heart.
However.
He could be said to be very happy to be able to see Aoba and the other two here!
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Fugaku cleared his throat. He looked at Saki and said helplessly, "Saki, you don't seem to want to see me?"
"No... no... absolutely not..." Saki lied through her teeth.
"Hahahaha, it's good that you didn't. I believe you!"
Fugaku laughed loudly. Right now, his mood could be said to be extremely good. He didn't care about these trivial things at all.
"Now..."
"My mission is..."
"To convey the Chunin instruction in Hokage-sama's massage."
Fugaku pointed at the words on the wall. Those words were the words that Saki had read just now.
All of a sudden.
Fugaku attracted the attention of the three people who were not interested...
"The heaven here refers to the wisdom of a person, and the earth refers to the physical strength of a person."
"If Heaven does not exist, enrich your knowledge, and prepare for the chance. This sentence means that if one lacks wisdom, one should study hard and prepare for the mission's arrival."
"If Earth does not exist, run the field in search of an advantage. This sentence means that if one lacks physical strength, one should persevere in training every day and not slack off."
"Open the series of Heaven and Earth, and the perilous way shall be redressed. This means that even the most dangerous mission can be completed if one can possess wisdom and physical strength."
"The word in the blank is a person."
"This is a "person" ultimate secret for leadership. The person refers to Chunin."
"The second round of the Chunin Exam is a survival test. You all have completed it very well."
"Chunin is equivalent to a leader of a team. They have the responsibility of leading a team. Be more deeply aware of the necessity of physical strength and knowledge in missions."
"You must remember this Chunin instruction."
"This is what I want to convey to you."
"I hope you can continue to work hard, pass the Chunin Exams, and become a qualified Chunin!"
When Fugaku finished his last sentence, he found that the three people in front of him, including Aoba, were almost asleep.
