"You are saying this, no matter how old you are, can you be older than these two old guys Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo?"
"Hahaha, you can't compare like that. They are both older than me."
"That's right, let's not talk about this anymore. How about it? Are you still used to living like a Ninja?"
Sakumo said with some emotion.
"Fortunately, after I escaped by feigning death, I discovered that apart from missions, life can be so exciting, and it doesn't necessarily involve fighting and killing.
However, maybe I am still a Ninja in my heart. If I live too much of this kind of life, I will feel boring sometimes."
"Tsk, if you find it boring, come to Land of Grass to play with me. What's the point of staying at Konoha all the time? You should go out and have a look. The outside world is much more exciting than Konoha."
"Really? Then Kuuga will go to Land of Grass to find you. You can take me to see you."
"No problem, come to me when the time comes and I promise to let you have fun."
"Haha, we just agreed."
While the two were chatting, the second round of assessment began, and the candidates entered Forest of Death in batches.
And they will conduct a practical assessment in Forest of Death.
"The exam has begun. The children you brought here for this assessment are all quite strong. I heard Kakashi say that the three strongest ones are all bloodstained ability users, and there seems to be Uchiha among them."
"Well, it's just one Uchiha, it's nothing. After all, the previous Konoha owned the entire Uchiha Clan, but they couldn't control it themselves."
"Yes, Konoha can't control it now."
Sakumo looked in the direction of Forest of Death with some emotion.
"But Konoha shouldn't be like this. Konoha should be a village where all the major Shinobi Clan come together to unite and help each other.
But now if you look at this village, the major families are in conflict with each other, or families in twos and threes have formed their own small groups, scheming and competing with each other.
This has gone against the original intention of First Hokage to create the village."
"Hey, hey, stop it, Sakumo, I just have to say some things."
Tetsuya quickly stopped Sakumo.
"It's not easy for us to meet each other. Don't talk about this. It's too disappointing. Let's go. There's nothing interesting about this exam. Come to my place and let's go have a drink."
"Hahaha, okay, let's go drink."
"Hehehehe, you two are in such a good mood, can you take me with you for a drink?"
A slightly hoarse voice came from the distance, and Orochimaru jumped up to the two of them.
"Hey, it's Orochimaru. If you didn't execute your Konoha Crush Plan, why did you come here when you had time?"
Sakumo said jokingly.
"Konoha Crush Plan, hey hey hey, did I hear something weird, Orochimaru-kun?"
"Hahaha, how can this be possible? If you really want to say it, I have to call you Senior Sakumo. I still admire Senior Sakumo very much. On the battlefield, Senior Sakumo, your record of reaching the rear of Sunagakure by yourself is still fresh in my memory."
"No, no, no, don't call me any senior, just call me Sakumo. At that time, I was young and energetic. I originally went there with the determination to die, but I didn't expect that I could still come back alive."
Sakumo felt a little emotional when he mentioned this matter. He really didn't expect that he could actually come back alive. After all, going deep into the enemy's rear area alone during the war was no different from dying.
Tetsuya raised his hands and looked at Orochimaru and asked.
"I said Orochimaru, is it really okay for you to come here so arrogantly? Are you not afraid of being discovered by someone who is ANBU?"
"Haha, ANBU, I know very well what level of strength Konoha ANBU is. They can't find me. Besides, Boss Chiba, if someone can still find you here, then I think the person who can find us has some abilities."
"Did you hear Sakumo, Orochimaru compliment you on your ability?"
"Okay, I know I'm old, so don't laugh at me."
"What are you saying? Aren't I complimenting you? By the way, look at how well Orochimaru takes good care of his body. I think you can ask him for advice on health care."
"Tsk, Boss Chiba are you kidding me? It's not like you don't know what's going on with my body."
"Oh my, can we continue talking? You are such a big Scientist, don't you know how to maintain your health? Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go and have a drink at my place first."
The three of them left in a swaggering manner.
ANBU, who is responsible for monitoring the security situation near the examination room, found no abnormalities at all.
Among Forest of Death, Sasuke and three others held Scroll in their hands and headed in the direction of Tower.
"The content of this exam is exactly the same as what Lord Daimyo said."
Bai looked at Scroll with Heaven written on it.
"That's natural. My mother said that Daimyo Chiba is the most powerful person in the world, and Daimyo Chiba is the god active in the world."
Karin looked like a devout believer when he spoke.
After all, she had grown up listening to the stories told by her mother. The young man, who was like a god, sent down fire from the sky to destroy the evil-filled Ninja village, and finally built a City-State named Hope on the ruins.
Bai nodded and agreed.
"Yes, Lord Daimyo is indeed a god active in the human world. After all, even a dead person like me can be resurrected."
Having said that, he changed the topic back to the main topic.
"Sasuke, what is our plan next? Are we going to snatch Scroll from other people's hands like other candidates?"
Sasuke shook his head and said.
"It's too troublesome, and it's such a waste of time. Forest of Death is very big. Even though there are twenty-five teams after us, these twenty-five teams are scattered throughout the forest. Finding Sea is still like looking for a needle.
Moreover, there are only thirteen teams here that hold the Earth Scroll we need, and the other twelve teams hold the same Scroll as us. It is a waste of time to encounter these teams."
"Indeed, I have just detected that there are no other teams within the range of my Maximum Sensory Range. This Forest of Death is really huge and terrifying."
Karin adjusted his glasses and put away his Mind's Eye of the Kagura.
"Then Sasuke do you have any better idea?"
Sasuke looked in the direction of the center of Forest of Death.
"We went directly to the finish line and waited at the finish line door, waiting for them to deliver Scroll to our door.
The team heading to the finish line must have collected double Scroll. As long as we defeat them, we can get the Scroll we need.
Even if someone has the same idea as us and goes to block the door, this will save us the time of aimlessly searching for other teams in the forest."
"That makes sense."
"This is indeed a good idea."
"Since you all have no objections, let's set off."
Sasuke waved and the target went straight to the finish line.
