Just as Hei Tu finished speaking, the expressions of the two teammates beside her suddenly changed. Their gazes were somewhat alert as they looked towards the direction of the tower's entrance.
Kurotsuchi felt their change and couldn't help but squint slightly as she gently turned her head and glanced in that direction.
Near another pillar, the Cloud Ninjas with dark skin and expressionless faces slowly turned their heads and stared at the entrance of the tower with a slightly indifferent look.
Under their gaze, they saw three figures slowly appear there.
The leader of the group had his hands crossed in front of his chest. He had short red hair, and his pale and tender face was indifferent. He carried a large gourd on his back.
When Kurotsuchi saw him, she couldn't help but murmur softly.
"Sandfall's Gaara …"
At this time, the third team to arrive at the tower was Sanin's Gaara. Temari and Kankuro followed behind him with a slightly relaxed expression.
Obviously, on the way here, Gaara didn't show the same bad state as before.
While slowly moving inside the tower, Kankuro and Temari looked at the teams that had arrived at the tower at this time.
"Oh, the Cloud and Rock Ninjas are ahead of us …"
Temari glanced at them and whispered.
Hearing her words, Kankuro couldn't help but grumble slightly.
"It's just because we weren't in a hurry. After all, we still have to consider the state of Gaara. Otherwise, we would have arrived earlier …"
For his slight complaint, Temari glanced at him slightly, but Gaara, who was in front of them, looked indifferent and didn't care at all.
They saw him walking forward as if he didn't see anyone, ignoring the Rock and Cloud Ninjas.
Seeing his indifferent attitude, the Cloud Ninjas looked indifferent and didn't say a word, maintaining a serious silence.
The two members of Kurotsuchi's team couldn't help but glance at him and whisper.
"This guy … is really as indifferent as the rumors say …"
"Indeed, is it because of the Ichibi …?"
"Who knows, he's like a monster …"
Hearing their words, Kurotsuchi couldn't help but stare at them a little, then glanced at the expressionless Gaara in the distance and said in a deep voice.
"Be quiet, no matter what the opponent is, we shouldn't underestimate them …"
"In this Chunin Exam, no matter what, we must get a satisfactory result for Tsuchikage-sama!"
Hearing her words, the two teammates beside her nodded seriously.
.....
At this moment, in the Forest of Death, in the lush forest near the tower.
In an open area, the ground was torn, and the surrounding vegetation was scorched black. Sasuke slowly retracted his right hand and put his White Fang back to his waist, walking forward calmly.
In front of him, there were several ravines on the ground, and three ninjas were charred black and fell weakly on the ground.
"Whoosh!"
On the side, Sakura landed on the ground from a high tree trunk and hurriedly ran to this side with a look of joy.
"That's great. This way, we've eliminated a team in advance."
And at this time.
"Whoosh!"
In another place, Naruto landed on the ground from the other side with his hands behind his head. His face was wrinkled like constipation as he muttered.
"What, I haven't done anything yet, and these guys are down …"
But in his heart, he was gritting his teeth.
Damn it … Sasuke is in the limelight again!
On the side, Sasuke just slowly walked to the fallen ninjas, raised his chin slightly, glanced at them coldly, and said coldly.
"Do you choose to give up, or do you want me to kill you here …"
Hearing his words, the Mist Ninjas who were seriously injured by Lightning Release couldn't help but look ugly. They glanced at the indifferent Sasuke with complicated eyes, and finally, they could only speak hesitantly.
"We … we give up this test …"
After he finished speaking, Sasuke threw the scroll he got from the Mist Ninjas to them and said coldly.
"Open it!"
Hearing his words, the three couldn't help but look ugly, but they could only follow Sasuke's instructions.
At this time, Naruto also came forward, wanting to see the secret hidden in the scroll that the examiner specifically told them not to open before the exam.
Just as the Mist Ninjas opened the scroll, the Mist Ninjas
"Boom!"
White smoke suddenly filled the field. Seeing this scene, Sasuke and Naruto's eyes were cold, and they took Sakura and instantly flashed away from the area covered by white smoke.
When the smoke dissipated, they saw the examiner of Wood Leaf standing on the field, frowning slightly as he looked at the three unconscious Mist Ninjas.
Seeing his appearance, Sasuke and Naruto were slightly stunned and slowly stepped forward.
Naruto looked a little curious and asked.
"I didn't expect the examiner to be hiding in the scroll …"
Hearing his words, the examiner couldn't help but look a little helpless, then he whispered.
"It's not like that. It's because the Fifth Hokage placed a Space Ninjutsu on these scrolls that we could appear here the moment the scroll opened."
Obviously, the examiner recognized Naruto's identity, so he deliberately explained.
However, after saying this, he frowned slightly, looked at Naruto, Sasuke, and the others, and said in a deep voice.
"Uzumaki Naruto, have you encountered any strange candidates in the exam before!?"
At this moment, Naruto and the others didn't even have time to think about why the examiner called out Naruto's name. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly murmured.
"Forget it, it shouldn't be a problem to tell you this in advance."
His face was slightly serious, glancing at Naruto and Sasuke, then he said in a deep voice.
"Currently, something has happened in this exam. So far, there have been close to 40 candidates who may have been intentionally killed. My previous question was to know if any of you have seen such a strange situation …"
Hearing the sudden question of the examiner who suddenly appeared in front of them, Naruto and the others couldn't help but look startled, then they froze in place.
Nearly forty examinees had already died in this exam?!
In an instant, such a cruel reality appeared in front of Naruto and the others. Sakura's face was pale, and there was a deep fear in her heart.
Sasuke's face was a little ugly, at this moment, the figure of Kidomaru who killed Kusanagi flashed in his mind.
After hearing the examiner's words, Naruto, as the son of Hokage, couldn't help but look a little ugly, and he quickly asked.
"What happened!?
Who would do such a thing?! "
