Chapter 74 Yekura admires Kiyoshi

Chapter 74 Yekura admires Kiyoshi's...

"Alright, you need to collect the 'Heavenly Scroll' and the 'Earthly Scroll' to pass the test. You'll need to take these two scrolls to the central tower."

After Minato Namikaze finished speaking, he led the crowd into a small room with a curtain to collect their scrolls.

This way, no one other than your own team members will know what kind of scroll you received.

"The exam begins now!"

After everyone has received their items, Namikaze Minato, as the chief invigilator, announces the official start of the exam. In order to avoid a bloody battle as soon as everyone enters, the entrance and entry time for each team will be slightly different.

Kiyoshi and the others took the left-hand path.

"We need to find the 'Earth Scroll'."

Kurenai Yuhi held a scroll marked with the character "天" (heaven).

"It's alright, let's look around first."

Kiyoshi shook his head.

There's still plenty of time.

The exam will last for five days.

In other words, Qing Si was able to act arbitrarily here for five days.

Because of the towering ancient trees in the Death Forest, the view is severely obstructed, and the only place with surveillance is inside the tower.

Otherwise, even though Orochimaru turned the place upside down, no ninja could find any trace of him; only Mitarashi Anko happened to run into him.

"Let's head towards the middle area first."

Kiyoshi strode forward.

Kurenai nodded and tidied up the scroll.

Sarutobi Asuma drew his chakra blade, just in case, and the three of them set off together.

…………

There was a spring rain in the Death Forest last night, leaving a few drops of dew on the leaves of these towering ancient trees.

This is nothing to the candidates who came to participate in the Chunin Exams today.

"Both the Sharingan and the Byakugan are things the village desperately needs."

Maki stepped onto the damp ground and glanced at Yekura and another teammate.

During the exam just now, he saw an Uchiha who had awakened the Sharingan in his left eye, and he also saw several members of the Hyuga clan with Byakugan.

Unlike the Sharingan, the Byakugan is not easy to hide and is very conspicuous.

"certainly."

Ye Cang parted her lips slightly.

She is a "spirited person" in Sunagakure.

The Land of Wind is barren and lacks natural resources. Its development in terms of military, economy, and population can be said to be at the lower end of the five great powers.

To change this situation, we must find a path to prosperity and strength for Sunagakure.

"The Third Shinobi World War is very likely to be launched by those powerful nations, and the alliance treaty itself threatens our survival."

Maki's eyes were filled with resentment.

When the Five Great Ninja Villages were established, the First Kazekage proposed that they did not want the Tailed Beasts, but only the land.

Unfortunately, in the end they only received a small amount of fertile land.

The other ninja villages all occupy large oases.

They could only live in the Land of Wind, a place that was arid and had little rain, and most of the land was desert!

"I see."

Ye Cang nodded.

The geographical resources of the Land of Wind are what they are, and they cannot attract foreign ninjas to live there.

The development of domestic ninjas is also difficult due to resource constraints.

The only way is to obtain the bloodline limit!

This is a chaotic area. A ninja with a bloodline limit died here, and no one can suspect them.

As long as the corpse is sealed inside a sealing scroll, a spirit beast is summoned, the sealing scroll is given to the spirit beast, and the summoning spell is lifted, no one can suspect them.

This approach wasn't unthinkable before.

However, due to the situation and the alliance, it has been delayed.

With constant friction between the major powers, a single move could have far-reaching consequences. Konoha cannot possibly question the other four major powers simultaneously!

As long as they don't renege on their debts, that's fine.

"There is an ominous and cold chakra."

Among the three, Hoki Taro, who had been silent the whole time, pointed in a direction.

"Who is it?"

Ye Cang asked.

Hōkitaro shook his head. He had never fought against someone with such chakra, so he naturally wouldn't know their identity.

But that unique chakra already hints at the answer!

A ninja who has mastered the innate Yin Release technique!

"They might be ninjas from the Yamanaka, Nara, or Uchiha clans."

Boqi Taro said.

A ninja with exceptional sensory abilities can sense the temperature of chakra.

Ninjas skilled in Yang Release are as warm as the sun.

Yin Dun, on the other hand, has a chilling feeling.

However, he also sensed an ominous feeling from that person.

It was as if this chakra possessed a demonic quality.

"There's a high probability he's a ninja from the Uchiha clan."

After thinking for a moment, Hōkitaro added a sentence.

"Let's go take a look."

Machi immediately said.

If they can complete the mission here, they can withdraw now and quickly return to Sunagakure.

The three of them continued to move towards the place Hoki Taro mentioned.

…………

"It's the same 'Earth Scroll'."

Kiyoshi grabbed one of the men by the collar and flung him away.

"Are you alright?"

Qing Si turned his head.

Her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and a few strands of her curly black hair clung to her forehead, making her look somewhat disheveled.

"fine."

Kurenai Yuhi took a breath.

"This is the real battle."

Sarutobi Asuma wiped the blood off his chakra blade.

They hadn't walked far when they encountered people from a small ninja village who attacked them without warning.

The three men fought back and engaged him in combat, ultimately emerging victorious.

"What about the remaining people?"

Sarutobi Asuma asked.

"Someone's coming."

Kiyoshi did not answer Sarutobi Asuma's question, but instead brought up another matter.

After a sound of movement in the bushes in the distance, Yekura, Maki, and Hakukitaro emerged.

Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi sharpened their gazes and quickly prepared for battle.

"We're very lucky, we're Uchiha."

Boqi Taro smiled.

Half of his scalp had hair, while the other side was bald, which looked very strange.

"Hey, Uchiha, you'd better surrender now before the name of my Hakuki clan."

"The Boqi clan..."

Kiyoshi ignored the man.

The Hōki clan was merely a ninja clan living in the Land of Wind. Because of their loyalty over the years, the clan's princess was granted special permission to be arranged to meet the Fifth Kazekage, Gaara.

"I'll deal with Pakura from Sunagakure; she's very strong."

"it is good."

Kurenai nodded, understanding that she should follow Kiyoshi's instructions at this time.

She had heard of Yekura's reputation; she was said to have become famous at a young age and had carried out highly difficult missions, earning her the title of "Little Hero of Sunagakure"!

Even from a distance, Kurenai could sense Pakura's composed demeanor and a powerful aura of chakra.

"Ace against ace?"

Ye Cang smiled.

As expected of the Uchiha; she admired that arrogance.

But she admired Kiyoshi's Sharingan even more.

She saw the Sharingan pattern appear in Kiyoshi's left eye during the exam, but she didn't know why there was only one.

This is no big deal; one Sharingan is still a Sharingan.

Many people say it's bland and uneventful, and I apologize for that. It was originally planned to be a free chapter and was intended to be released later. However, due to the special circumstances of the Chinese New Year, the editors were all on holiday and wouldn't be back for a while after the New Year. Therefore, it had to be released earlier and didn't catch the hype. The later chapters about Ye Cang should have been the content released later.
