That bright, shining signal flare.
Hanging high in the air, it appeared so dazzling and eye-catching in the dim night.
It instantly attracted the attention of the vast majority of people in the Forest of Death.
"Is this a signal flare?"
"Huh? Are these things allowed in the exam?"
"Could it be a tacit understanding between the teams from the major ninja villages?"
"Very likely!"
" Cloud Ninja? Mist Ninja?"
"It must be Konoha!"
"You guys don't want to mention Sand Ninja at all!"
"Let's go take a look?"
"No way?"
"Let's go, hurry up!"
The Genin teams that noticed the signal flare all showed great interest, and some of the bolder ones rushed towards the location where the signal flare had been launched without hesitation.
They all have a great deal of self-confidence.
This also includes the famous Kakashi Hatake.
The moment I saw that signal flare flash high in the sky.
At this moment, Kakashi, who was only seven years old, frowned and looked at his two teammates who had been temporarily 'made up' for the Chunin Ninja Exams, saying, "Let's go take a look!"
"Um!"
"Ah!"
These two teammates were also highly skilled and daring; without the slightest hesitation, they followed Kakashi directly behind him, heading towards the location of Qi and the others at their top speed.
Meanwhile, the other two Root teams, who were carrying out the same mission, also rushed over at top speed the moment they saw the signal flare.
This is their Root communication signal flare!
They understood the meaning of this better than anyone else!
These forces that gathered at the same time, even if they were only a portion of each other, totaled nearly eight or nine teams and twenty or thirty people.
If the time is delayed for too long...
That area will undoubtedly become the most eye-catching part of the entire Forest of Death.
Kei, Mei Terumi, Kisame were naturally well aware of this.
Ice Release!
" Boil Release!"
Water Release!
That was a fierce attack launched at all costs, like a raging storm.
Various techniques were used as if they were free.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Buzz!"
"Knock knock knock knock!"
A surging wave, a powerful spray of acid mist.
And there was also the continuous, chilling power.
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
This makes it extremely easy for this Root member to lose focus in the process of dealing with the situation, revealing a fatal weakness that is clearly exposed!
"Whoosh!"
Kisame caught it with lightning speed.
From an angle where they lean in close.
"Pfft!"
As Kisame forcibly restricted the movements of the Root Jonin using his Ice Crystal Cone, Kisame his Kunai high.
He thrust the needle directly into the vital spot of the Root Jonin's heart.
This is a distance that can no longer be completely avoided.
This Root Jonin could only barely twist his body slightly to avoid the powerful attack.
But the Kunai still pierced his left shoulder.
It ended with a dull thud as metal pierced through flesh.
"Whoosh!"
And there was the splattering crimson blood.
The Root Jonin's expression turned ferocious and terrifying from the pain. Before he could adjust himself, Qi's figure appeared like a ghost from his right.
"Whoosh!"
A dazzling, cold blade soaring into the air.
"Pfft!"
With a single, powerful strike.
The same principle applies: it is aimed directly at the vital point of the throat.
When that extremely cold and sharp blade of wind struck, the Root Jonin only instinctively reach out his right hand to block it.
There wasn't even time to get into a blocking stance.
That arm was severed by Qi's ferocious attack, and the splattered blood on the ground, along with the strong stench of blood, immediately filled the air.
"Ah!"
The pain of losing an arm was incredibly intense!
This time, the Root Jonin, who was clearly unable to control himself, let out a very shrill scream.
A large amount of sweat seeped from his forehead.
This is pain that can only be endured through sheer willpower.
A safe distance must be maintained immediately.
But how could Rei and Kisame possibly give them such an opportunity?
The attacks, carried out under alternating cover, moved in a straight line, pressing forward from the left and right.
"Swish"
"Clang!"
"Pfft!"
"Sizzle!"
If one side is barely blocked, the other side will inevitably reveal an opening. The attack that follows perfectly is Kisame's Kunai, which this time pierces the heart of the Root Jonin with unparalleled precision.
"Wow!?"
Qi and his two companions finally managed to kill the last enemy.
"Thump!"
Looking at the corpse of the Root Jonin lying on the ground, Qi let out a soft breath.
If we're really comparing the strength of this Root member, he's still a notch below that Cloud Village Jonin named Hato. The strength that Hato unleashed when his cells were activated by the stimulation of lightning-style chakra was truly among the best of the Jonin level!
If Kujira hadn't been injured by Ao at the beginning of that battle, which would have somewhat limited his actions later on, the best outcome for Kei would probably have been to perish together with his opponent!
Both use Lightning Release.
This one's Root is still inferior to that of the dove.
Not to mention that this time it was the three members of Team 7 working together!
Among the enemies they face, none of them can match the strength of ordinary Jonin!
The only difference lies in the time and effort required.
This time, facing an elite Root team, the three of them managed to kill them by only sacrificing themselves and Kisame with minor injuries. This was already a perfect ending, even though killing Root members was a huge 'forbidden matter' in Konohagakure!
But in the situation just now, if they dared to hold back, that would be the most foolish thing to do!
"Let's go, we need to get out of here as soon as possible!"
Although they hadn't sensed any other presences around them yet, a little while had passed since the flare was launched. If they didn't leave in time, the situation would become very serious!
As for his other teammates in the Forest of Death, Qi truly felt he couldn't care less about them!
"Um!"
"Ah!"
Having already realized the seriousness of the situation Mei Terumi and Kisame did not hesitate at all.
There was no time to deal with the corpses below.
The three of them each leaped forward.
"Swoosh"
"Swoosh"
"Whoosh!"
They left the spot at lightning speed. (Tianlai Novel Network)
Head towards the nearest exit.
They must leave this Forest of Death as quickly as possible, regardless of what kind of conspiracy might be involved.
We must make sure that our own teacher, Ms. Qing, is informed first!
