Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Increasing Difficulty, Giant Python
At this moment, with a 'bang', a cloud of smoke appeared, and Orochimaru's figure appeared directly in front of everyone.
"I will announce the rules for the second round of the exam. It's simple, the first ten people to reach the central tower can pass the exam."
Such simple rules really stunned some people, because from the experience they got from their predecessors, they still need to compete for things like the 'Heaven Scroll' and 'Earth Scroll', but there is none this time.
"It's really a simple and crude exam."
Satoru thought to himself.
Not competing for things does not mean that there will be no fights, but it is very likely that the fights will become more intense.
Only ten people can reach the central tower, which means that more than forty people have to fail here. So in order to compete for the first few people to reach the central tower, there must be a fight.
Even teammates will fight each other.
And if the rules are like before, as long as the teams that meet each other collect the 'Heaven Scroll' and 'Earth Scroll', most of them will choose to live in peace. After all, their main purpose of participating in this exam is to become Chunin, not to fight.
"But in order to make this exam not so simple, I decided to increase some difficulty."
Then Orochimaru bit his finger, made a few seals, and then slapped the ground directly.
"Summoning Jutsu."
Instantly, three huge pythons appeared on the ground. The body size of these Genin standing in front of this python feels like it's not enough to stuff its teeth.
"Hey, no way, this is a joke, right?"
Masahiro looked at the three huge pythons with a somewhat dazed look and swallowed.
Miwa's legs were also trembling slightly, and her whole body was exuding a sense of tension and fear.
Most of the remaining Genin also showed the same performance. After all, there are these three huge creatures in the examination room. It's impossible to say that they are not afraid. They are afraid that they will be swallowed alive in a moment.
"Orochimaru-sama, are you trying to kill us?"
One of the Genin raised his hand and said tremblingly.
"Of course, when you become ninjas, it means that you have stepped on the road to death. If you are afraid, you can give up now."
Orochimaru said that.
As soon as these words came out, many Genin immediately raised their hands to give up. They came to become Chunin, not to be food to feed. If they can't pass this year, they can come again next time, but if they are swallowed into the stomach, they can only come again in the next life.
Looking at these ninjas who gave up, the Jonin who were watching this exam, their expressions couldn't help but be a little disappointed. These people, even if they go to the battlefield, are all people who are afraid of death.
At this time, Masahiro's heart was also shaking, because there was only his mother at home. If he had an accident, what should his mother do?
But at this moment, Masahiro and Miwa suddenly felt a warm palm touch their backs, and then a voice full of security came from their ears.
"Don't worry, I will definitely protect you."
Satoru's voice sounded in their ears, instantly making them feel a great sense of security in their hearts. Through Satoru's tone of voice now, the two knew that Satoru was serious.
And the two of them also trust Satoru very much. In this year's mission career, the two of them have fallen into crisis several times. Sometimes even Teacher Nakajima can't react in time, but they were easily saved by Satoru.
Now they don't know what kind of strength Satoru has, but they know that they can absolutely believe what Satoru says.
"Hey, I'm not weak enough to need your protection, Satoru."
Instantly, Masahiro's heart underwent a huge change, but he was still pretending to be strong on the surface.
Not far from Satoru, Kakashi was also looking at the three giant snakes with a serious face.
"If I try my best, I should be able to deal with one."
Kakashi thought to himself, these snakes didn't have much strength, they just looked very large, so they seemed very scary. But such a large body also represents having a very strong power, if hit once, the injury received is definitely not light.
Different from Satoru's situation, Kakashi's two teammates directly gave up. In this round, the team is not that important.
"Hey, Kakashi, come here."
Satoru directly shouted at Kakashi. Now letting Kakashi act on his own, Satoru is very worried. He doesn't know how Kakashi passed the Chunin exam in the original work.
But now Kakashi is his own younger brother. He can't put all of Kakashi's life on the world of that manga. From the moment he was born, this world has undergone a huge change.
"Tsk."
Kakashi just gave Satoru a glance and then continued to stand in place.
"He really is an unlovable little brother."
Satoru's words came out one by one.
"It's okay, don't be angry, we'll go with Kakashi later."
Miwa quickly comforted, she has been in a team with Satoru for more than a year. Although they are not very familiar with Kakashi, they are definitely not strangers. They usually nod and greet each other when they meet on the street.
"It seems that the only person in this world who can subdue you is Kakashi."
Masahiro said with some glee, every time he saw Satoru angry, the reason was 100% because of Kakashi.
"Kakashi is really disobedient now."
"You and him are the same."
Masahiro has also heard some rumors about Kakashi. He is very difficult to get along with in the team and often has conflicts with his teammates.
"No, I can only be considered as having a bad character, which is completely different from being disobedient."
Hearing Satoru say this, Masahiro looked at Satoru with a surprised look.
"Hey, what kind of look is that?"
"So you know you have a bad character."
Masahiro said in surprise.
"I know, but I won't change, I'll piss you off, hehe~"
"Let's go, Miwa, let's go find Kakashi, don't team up with Satoru."
After saying that, without Miwa's consent, Masahiro directly dragged Miwa away.
And in the Hokage office building, the Third Hokage was watching the scene of the second round of the exam through his Telescope Technique. There were three people standing next to him, one was his disciple, one of the Three Nin, Jiraiya, another was Jiraiya's disciple, Namikaze Minato, who has already made a name for himself in the ninja world, and the other was Satoru and Kakashi's father, Hatake Sakumo.
The four of them were watching this Chunin exam together.
"Isn't Orochimaru's way too much?"
Jiraiya looked at the scene of the exam and said with a frown.
"No, I think this is a very good way of survival of the fittest. After all, no one knows when the war will start again. Letting these people go to the battlefield is no different from sending them to death."
Sakumo expressed a different opinion from Jiraiya. Even if his two children are in this dangerous exam, he thinks this exam is good!
