Although the live broadcast made her a bit uncomfortable, the villagers had no ill intentions, and she was also one of the audience members.
You could say watching a bunch of rookies fight Puppet Corpses felt like watching a blockbuster movie.
The only downside was that her teacher's crystal ball was too inconvenient to watch. It would be great if they could replace it with a big screen, like in a movie theater.
This time, the test subjects were still Puppet Corpses, but Hinata wasn't present, and the appearance of the Puppet Corpses caught the students by surprise, causing them to perform worse than last time.
This time, they arrived at the open space of the training ground early.
But they never expected that this time the Puppet Corpses wouldn't crawl out from underground, but would fall from the sky!
What's more, not only Puppet Corpses would fall from the sky, but also severed limbs.
And these severed limbs made up the majority!
All the clan heads, and even the Third Hokage, couldn't help but look at Hinata.
These severed limbs were Hinata's masterpiece this time.
Hinata: "..."
Hinata: Blame me...
The Puppet Corpses falling from the sky caught the children completely off guard.
Some couldn't dodge in time and were knocked unconscious by the Puppet Corpses before being dragged into the shadows.
Those who were knocked out were fine, but those hit by the severed limbs suffered considerable psychological trauma.
They were just standing on the training ground when something hit their heads. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a rotten severed limb.
When he tremblingly touched the spot that was hit, he looked at his hand, which was covered in rotten flesh. Even worse, there were still maggots wriggling on his hand...
This wasn't the worst part. What if they were hit by internal organs...
Before they could even be dragged into the shadows by the Puppet Corpses, many students fainted.
Some fainted from fear, while others screamed in terror and passed out from lack of oxygen...
Sasuke and Naruto were in a slightly better situation, as they had experienced this once before.
But even so, they weren't doing well.
Kiba Inuzuka: "I can't do this anymore, guys. I think I'm going to hold you back. I... feel so dizzy..."
Akainu: "Woof... Woof."
Neji quickly went to block their sense of smell.
But even so, they were still groggy and probably wouldn't recover anytime soon.
"Everyone..."
Shikamaru reminded everyone.
The Puppet Corpses falling from the sky around them had already gotten up.
Although most of them were missing legs, and some were crawling, the sense of pressure was no less.
They exchanged glances.
"It's as we thought."
"Then let's proceed with the plan."
Then, while the Puppet Corpses had just gotten up and hadn't gathered yet, they ran towards the school building.
Along the way, they didn't rush to destroy the Puppet Corpses but tried to avoid them.
Upon reaching the entrance of the school building, they didn't rush in. Instead, they took out their shuriken, kunai, and other hidden weapons and threw them at the Puppet Corpses.
However, their targets were not their heads, but their legs.
They threw very accurately, Naruto included.
They specifically aimed at the joints of the Puppet Corpses, causing a large number of them to fall before they could even approach the school building.
Tenten's provided ninja tools played a significant role in this.
"Alright, this is enough. We need to conserve our energy."
Even though a large number of Puppet Corpses were crippled, there were still some with intact legs wobbling towards the school building.
After entering the school building, they didn't immediately run upstairs. Instead, they used desks and chairs from the classrooms to block the main entrance of the school building.
Seeing this, the Third Hokage nodded.
So far, their performance was acceptable, but this alone wouldn't be enough to meet the graduation standards.
After blocking the entrance, they went to the second floor.
They moved some desks and chairs again, but this time they didn't directly block the stairs. Instead, they piled desks and chairs all over the staircase, and then completely blocked the exit.
In this situation, even a normal person would have a hard time getting up, let alone a Puppet Corpse with loose limbs that would shatter at the slightest touch?
Now, these Puppet Corpses shouldn't be able to get up.
The Third Hokage's eyes were filled with admiration. These children were quite clever.
The Patriarchs also breathed a sigh of relief. At least so far, they hadn't made any mistakes and had done quite well.
However, that last Skeleton Giant was not so easy to deal with.
The Skeleton Giant that appeared this time was naturally not the same one as last time.
Or rather, it was an upgraded version of the last one.
Although the village wanted to speed up the training of the new generation, these children were still too young, and the village would not let them undertake such dangerous missions.
Therefore, the village never intended for them to graduate so early.
Well... Hinata was an exception.
After blocking the hallway, they didn't go upstairs. Instead, they moved tables and chairs again, but this time they were placed loosely in the corridor. It was unclear what their intention was.
The entrance to the third-floor hallway.
Looking at the messy tables and chairs in the second-floor corridor, Shikamaru sighed. "I hope it works, otherwise we'll have to use Plan B."
Sakura shivered, as if she thought of something. "I never hope for a time when we have to use Plan B."
"Let's hurry up and recover our strength. If our guess is correct, that big guy will be out soon."
Shino Aburame pushed up his glasses.
Everyone immediately collapsed on the ground; they were exhausted.
Just a few minutes after they sat down, they felt a tremor from beneath their feet.
No! The source of the tremor was from above them!
!!!
A Giant Bone Sword, familiar to them, pierced down from the ceiling above them.
Then, the Giant Bone Sword was pulled back, and then it pierced down again in a different spot, repeating this several times.
As if realizing something, Shikamaru panicked. "Not good! Dodge quickly!"
Almost as soon as Shikamaru finished speaking, the ceiling above them cracked open. With a loud bang, a Skeleton Giant, even larger than the one they had seen last time, fell into their midst.
Yes, it fell right in the middle of them.
But this might be a good thing; they had managed to surround the Skeleton Giant.
Although the Skeleton Giant was unexpectedly a whole size larger, there was no time for them to think.
Just as they were about to deal with the Skeleton Giant according to plan, the Skeleton Giant made the first move.
The Skeleton Giant thrust its sword downwards. The floor had already developed many cracks due to the Skeleton Giant's fall.
The Skeleton Giant thrust its sword into a crack, and somehow, the area in front of it immediately collapsed.
Naruto and Akimichi, unable to dodge in time, fell from the third floor to the second floor.
This was not the end. The Skeleton Giant directly turned and grabbed Sakura with its large left hand.
Crack, crack~ A sound of bones colliding echoed. The Skeleton Giant's chest opened before their eyes.
It was empty inside.
And the next moment, Sakura was placed inside the Skeleton Giant's chest.
