But the Kunai that had just been shot at his chest was easily caught between his two fingers.
None of these three people were ordinary test takers.
"Etc!"
The last Sand Ninja threw down Kunai.
"Here's the scroll for you!"
We can withdraw from the exam!
Bai didn't stop.
Dozens of icicles converged from both sides.
The Sand Ninja immediately leaped upwards.
Yugao was already waiting there.
She leaped down from the tree branch, her long sword tracing an arc through the air.
The Sand Ninja raised their arms to block in front of them.
The blade sliced through the arm guard and landed on his chest.
The next second, an ice spike pierced his body from behind.
Bang!
The bodies fell heavily to the ground.
From the moment Haku and Yugao made their move to the moment all three Sand Ninja fell, only a dozen seconds passed.
Haku dispelled the Ninjutsu.
The icicles suspended in the air melted into water droplets and sprinkled onto the ground.
Yugao wiped the blood off the blade and sheathed the long sword.
She glanced at Bai.
Bai was looking at her at that moment.
The two worked together for the first time, but there was not a single conflict.
Bai was in charge of blocking the route.
Yugao was responsible for close-range attacks.
The three Sand Ninja didn't even have a chance to escape.
Yugao was very satisfied with the result.
However, she was more concerned about Zhang Yu's attitude.
From the start to the end of the battle, Zhang Yu remained standing in the same spot.
Not to mention making a move, he didn't even change his position.
It was as if these three Sunagakure ninjas weren't even worth his attention.
Yugao approached the three corpses and began searching them one by one.
Soon, she found a scroll in the arms of the leading Sand Ninja.
On the front of the scroll is written the word "".
" Lord Zhang Yu."
Yugao handed over the scroll.
"They are carrying the Heaven Scroll."
"We already have a Heaven Scroll."
Zhang Yu glanced at it but didn't take it.
"Take it."
Yugao paused.
"I'll keep it?"
"Right."
Zhang Yu pointed to the purple cheongsam she was wearing.
The garment has pockets inside.
"It can hold three or four scrolls without any problem."
Yugao subconsciously reached inside her cheongsam.
Sure enough, she soon stumbled upon a hidden pocket.
The opening is close to the side of the waist, so it's usually completely invisible.
Its space is larger than that of a regular ninja tool bag.
Even if you put in three more scrolls, it won't affect your movement, let alone just one.
Yugao put the Heaven Scroll inside, her expression somewhat strange.
Zhang Yu took this cheongsam out of the gift box at the last minute.
The size fit her perfectly.
Convenient for combat.
It does not affect drawing the sword.
Now even the pockets containing the hidden scrolls have been prepared in advance.
" Lord Zhang Yu."
Yugao couldn't help but ask, "You knew all along that the Forest of Death required competing for scrolls?"
"Haven't the assessment rules already been explained?"
"I mean, this pocket..."
I designed it on a whim.
Zhang Yu answered casually.
"Ninjas need a place to put their things when taking exams."
Yugao didn't ask any further questions.
But her doubts remained undiminished.
When Zhang Yu took out the clothes, the rules for the second assessment had not yet been announced.
At that time, they were just preparing to take their first written test.
Why would he prepare clothes in advance that could store multiple scrolls?
Did Zhang Yu already know the content of the second assessment?
Yugao looked at his profile.
The Third Hokage's attitude towards Zhang Yu.
The First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and Madara Uchiha obeyed him.
Genjutsu that can be activated without Hand Seals.
The ability to conjure objects out of thin air.
And this cheongsam that I prepared in advance.
Zhang Yu has too many secrets.
The longer she followed along, the less she understood.
"They're gone."
Zhang Yu's voice interrupted her thoughts.
Yugao followed immediately.
"Yes."
Bai walked on the other side.
The three men left the corpses on the ground and continued deeper into the Forest of Death.
Zhang Yu was not in a hurry to go to the Central Tower.
A system task has been initiated.
The more scrolls you steal, the more money you can make selling them later.
Going straight to the tower now is like ignoring the gold coins in the forest.
"White."
"Exist."
"Be aware of your surroundings."
"Other candidates have been identified; their locations must be confirmed first."
Zhang Yu then looked at Yugao.
"You're in charge of searching for the scrolls."
Yugao nodded.
"Clear."
For the rest of the day, a small team specifically tasked with stealing scrolls appeared in the Forest of Death.
The first group to be targeted were the examinees from Amegakure.
The three hid in a tree, preparing to ambush Zhang Yu.
Before they could even make a move, Bai's Ice Release had already sealed the tree trunk.
Yugao rushed up to the treetop and knocked the weapons out of the three men's hands with just a few slashes.
"Reel."
Zhang Yu stood below.
"Hand it over, and you can leave."
The three Rain Ninja looked at the icy ground beneath their feet, then at the long sword in Yugao's hand, and dared not resist.
The leader took out the Earth Scroll and threw it down.
"For you!"
"Let's go!"
Zhang Yu caught the scroll and waved his hand.
There are still quite a few lines at the next entrance.
"Go now, you can still grab another one."
The three Rain Ninja didn't say a word, turned around and ran.
The second team came from Kusagakure.
They refused to hand over the scroll and planned to launch a sneak attack when Bai got close.
As soon as the three of them took out their Kunai, Yugao's longsword severed one of their wrists.
The white icicles followed closely behind.
All three died on the spot.
Yugao retrieved the Earth Scroll from the corpse and placed it inside her cheongsam.
The third team comes from Takigakure.
Upon seeing Zhang Yu and his two companions from afar, they turned and fled.
Zhang Yu did not give chase.
Haku used Ice Release to block the road ahead.
Yugao bypassed them from the side and blocked their path.
"Submission scroll."
Yugao drew her long sword.
"Or die."
The three ninja from Takigakure exchanged glances, and finally took out the Heaven Scroll.
"We'll pay."
"Don't do it."
Yugao accepted the scroll and stepped aside to make way.
The three left immediately.
In one day, Zhang Yu contacted ten groups of test takers.
Someone honestly handed over the scroll.
Some, relying on their numbers and Ninjutsu, launched a counterattack.
All the teams that were willing to cooperate left alive.
None of the teams that dared to resist managed to escape.
White's Ice Release is suitable for large-scale containment.
Uzuki Yugao's swordsmanship is responsible for close-range finishing off enemies.
Zhang Yu rarely needs to take action.
Even if a candidate occasionally manages to break through the two's blockade and rush in front of Zhang Yu, he will instantly lose the ability to move.
No one could see what Ninjutsu he used.
All the candidates knew was that once Zhang Yu had his eye on them, they would be unable to move.
The news spread quickly.
"A man in a black martial arts uniform, accompanied by Ice Release ninja and a purple-haired female swordsman."
"Run if you see them!"
"Don't worry about questionnaires, your life is more important!"
"They've already snatched over a dozen teams!"
"After someone resisted, the entire squad died!"
Starting the next day, a strange phenomenon began to appear in the Forest of Death.
When the two ninja teams met, their first reaction was no longer to steal the scroll.
Instead, they first checked whether Zhang Yu was on the opposing team.
"Black martial arts uniform?"
"No!"
" Ice Release Boy?"
"No!"
"A female swordsman in a purple cheongsam?"
"None!"
Only after the confirmation was completed did the two sides begin to fight.
Some teams, hearing the commotion in the distance, didn't even dare to look and immediately changed their routes.
