Tower There was silence in the observation room.
Instructor Leopard opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "... This kid actually won?"
Instructor Fukurou held up the mask, his tone full of disbelief:
"His last speed... was it Fourth Gate? Gate of Pain? He was only seven years old!"
Instructor Ying crossed his arms and said with sharp eyes:
"It's not just Fourth Gate. No. 369 that ended up using Sharingan Genjutsu, but No. 567 was not affected at all... that's unusual."
"Does he have something special Kekkei Genkai?" Instructor Leopard guessed.
Instructor Ying shook his head:
"I don't know. But Lord Hokage specifically asked not to delve into his secrets. We just need to know that he is Ninja of Konoha, and that's enough."
"But then again," Instructor Fukurou looked at Lin Ze who was panting on the screen, "This kid's combat IQ is too high. From the initial lurking, to the tactical choices in the middle, to the final counterattack by disconnecting the four doors... he doesn't look like a seven-year-old child at all."
Instructor Leopard nodded in agreement:
"Indeed. I remember that the last person to pass the examination using this method was the captain."
During the field, Lin Ze was breathing heavily, feeling the pain in the muscles throughout his body.
'Fourth Gate's burden is still too great...'
'If I weren't forced into a desperate situation, I really wouldn't want to use this trick.'
Looking around, Lin Ze confirmed that no one else was nearby, then walked to No. 369 - or Uchiha En, bent down and quickly picked up the three fallen Scroll, and confirmed that they were the authentic, counterfeit and key volumes.
Then after wrapping the area just cut by Shuriken with a bandage, Lin Ze stopped staying and quickly walked into Tower.
Walk into Tower, Lin Ze to quickly check the situation inside the tower.
The light in the tower was slightly dim, but he was keenly aware that he was not the only one in the tower.
He glanced around and saw an alternate member, number 233, also wearing Tanuki Mask standing quietly in the shadow of Corner in the Tower hall.
No. 233 obviously arrived earlier than Lin Ze. He was leaning against the wall and seemed to be regaining his breath.
When Lin Ze walked in, his body tensed imperceptibly for a moment, and his eyes fell on Lin Ze through the holes in the mask warily.
'Is it him? No. 567...'
No. 233 felt a little chilled. When he approached Tower from another direction, he caught a glimpse of the end of the fierce battle between Lin Ze and No. 369.
In particular, Lin Ze appeared behind No. 369 like a ghost, and the shocking punch at the end left a very deep impression on him.
He subconsciously averted his gaze to avoid looking into Lin Ze's eyes. In his heart, Lin Ze was listed as an extremely dangerous person who should not be easily provoked.
Lin Ze noticed No. 233's subtle reaction, but didn't pay attention.
ANBU is a place where the strong are respected. It is normal to show strength and gain awe. Now he just wants to submit Scroll to pass the assessment as soon as possible.
Lin Ze walked to the table in the center of the hall and placed the three Scrolls in his hand, the authentic, counterfeit and key.
There was an expressionless ANBU civilian sitting behind the desk. He checked Scroll, confirmed that the ciphertext had been correctly cracked and the combination was correct, recorded something on a roster, and then nodded to Lin Ze, signaling him to pass.
'Second.'
Lin Ze counted silently in his mind, walked to Corner who was far away from No. 233, and sat down. Then he released Eight Gates Released Formation's state immediately. Severe soreness and fatigue instantly surged through his body, making him groan.
'Fourth Gate is still too much of a burden on the body. It must not be used lightly in the past year except as a last resort.'
Lin Ze warned himself secretly while adjusting his breathing, and then he carefully felt the inside of his body.
Fortunately, the total time he spent opening the four doors was less than two minutes, so there was no serious injury. The strong recovery power brought by Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon was quickly repairing the muscle tear.
Not long after, there was movement again at the entrance of Tower, and the third passer appeared, number 388.
His condition seemed to be more embarrassing than that of Lin Ze and No. 233. His uniform was damaged in many places and his breathing was somewhat rapid.
After he came in, he looked warily at the two people who arrived first, especially Lin Ze, and then silently walked to the other side to wait.
After a short while, three people suddenly rushed in not far from the entrance.
The three of them arrived almost at once. When they saw that there were already three people in the hall, Lin Ze could tell from their eyes that the expressions under their masks must be extremely ugly.
Only the top five can pass, and now there are three spots. Obviously, there is one more person in their team, and one person needs to get off.
As a result, the conflict inevitably broke out among the three newcomers in order to compete for the last two places!
They did not use large-scale Ninjutsu. After all, Chakra consumed a lot of money in the previous forest, and the place was narrow. It was more of a rapid confrontation between Taijutsu and Shuriken.
Kunai The sounds of collisions and fists and kicks echoed at the entrance of Tower.
Lin Ze just opened his eyelids and glanced at it, then stopped paying attention.
A fight of this magnitude is meaningless in his eyes, and the outcome has already been determined.
No. 233 and No. 388 were equally indifferent and even adjusted their posture slightly to avoid being involved.
The rules of ANBU are so cruel. The number of places is limited. If you come a step late, you can only blame your own lack of strength or bad luck.
Finally, the top five members of the second group were confirmed. Instructor Ying, who had been standing like a statue in the shadow of the tower, finally spoke and announced in a cold voice:
"The assessment is over. Those who fail to collect Scroll and arrive within the specified time will fail."
In the end, the ten people who successfully passed the assessment were determined. In addition to Lin Ze, No. 233, and No. 388, there were seven other people.
Uchiha En had already been carried away on a stretcher by two ANBU Medical Personnel. He was still in a coma. The mask on his face was all broken, revealing his bruised cheeks and closed eyes. He looked quite miserable.
I don't know if he will regret provoking Lin Ze when he wakes up.
About half an hour later, the remaining more than a hundred alternate members received the signal and came to the open space in front of Tower one after another.
Many people were injured and looked tired and depressed.
Instructor Ying stood in front of everyone, his eyes swept across the audience, and first announced the numbers of ten people including Lin Ze:
"No. 233, 269,..., 567; the above ten people, who have passed this assessment, will report to the headquarters on time at six o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow and officially join ANBU."
Then, he read out another thirty numbers, including the fifteen people who were left behind in the first group assessment and the fifteen people who performed equally well this time.
"... The above thirty people, although they did not pass the assessment, performed well in a certain assessment, you will be assigned guidance Jōnin for targeted training in the future. I hope you will continue to work hard."
