Chapter 19: I would rather die than be free

No one chased him.

Naraku pretended to be serious. In order to create an opportunity to attack, he pulled back a distance, threw his sword into the air, and made hand seals in front of him.

"Lightning escape, ground walk!"

Naraku stopped his body, finished the hand seal, and slapped his hands on the ground, bursting out lightning, sweeping towards No. 1 along the ground.

It was lightning escape, not thunder magic.

Naraku naturally did not use his true energy.

But even so, his use of lightning escape is no longer the same as before.

That is to hide, otherwise even if he only used chakra, he could easily suppress No. 1 when they just fought.

The current lightning escape is the same.

Not only did he control the output of chakra, but he also deliberately slowed down the release speed of lightning escape.

This gave No. 1 on the opposite side a chance to react, and barely escaped from the side when he was partially attacked by lightning.

"It's not easy to pass by ants without hurting them!"

Looking at the kunai that No. 1 shot hastily after escaping, Naraku caught the falling katana with an extremely calm heart, and seemed to pick it up in a thrilling way.

"Lightning escape, Thunder entanglement!"

Lightning jumped out of his right hand and quickly wrapped around the blade.

Naraku began to perform again.

He rushed towards No. 1 quickly, as if he was starting his own counterattack.

The sword flashed.

Shuriken, kunai and other ninja tools flew everywhere.

From time to time, there were ninjutsu that destroyed the field into potholes.

In the eyes of outsiders, the battle in the field was very exciting.

No. 1 lived up to the title of the head of the training class.

His strength was not inferior to some of the reserve.

Naraku did not seem to have regressed in strength because of staying in the ninja school for more than half a year, but had made slight progress.

After the two sides fought for a while, Naraku gradually gained the upper hand.

Finally, he used a lightning-wrapped slash to cut off the kunai in No. 1's hand, wounding and subduing him.

"It's over. It's a pity for No. 1. If he hadn't challenged the demon, he should have been promoted."

"You can't say that. The challenger was chosen by himself. He failed only because he underestimated the opponent's strength. So the failure was just his own lack of ability."

"I didn't expect the demon's strength to improve a lot. I thought he would regress after staying in the ninja school for half a year."

"."

Seeing the battle in the field was decided, some people couldn't help but talk about it.

Some expressed pity for No. 1, and some were surprised by the strength shown by Naraku.

"Captain, do you think the demon will challenge us this time?" On the third floor, one of the three people next to Nono asked her with interest.

Standing with Nono was naturally a formal member of the third team belonging to Nono.

"Xiao, you are not afraid!"

Without waiting for Nono's response, another person from the third team started the conversation, looking at the person called Xiao jokingly.

"Lang, do you dare to say that you are not afraid of being challenged?" Xiao glanced at the other party and said lightly.

Lang shrugged: "Well, I am actually quite afraid too. After all, no one wants to be demoted."

"Be quiet, don't disturb me to watch the next battle."

At this time, the last person in the third team, codenamed Yu, looked at Xiao and Lang with a fierce look.

This person is a woman.

However, unlike the beautiful Nono, Yu's face is covered with knife marks, as if she had suffered terrible punishment.

Yu's ferocity is very effective, and it immediately shocked Xiao and Lang, making them smile awkwardly and dare not say more.

There is no way.

There is no difference between men and women in the Root Organization, only the difference in strength.

Although Yu is a woman, her strength in the third team is second only to the captain Nono.

Owl and Wolf were no match for her, so they naturally dared not act recklessly.

Return to the field.

Naraku, who had won, pretended to be exhausted and walked down the stairs to the second floor.

No. 1, who failed in the challenge, went to the sidelines in a daze.

No wonder he was like this.

After all, everyone only had one chance to challenge. Even if No. 1's strength was not inferior to some of the reserve members, he would have to wait until next year's assessment to have a chance to be promoted unless a reserve member died in the next year and vacated his position.

This was the consequence of choosing the wrong challenge target.

It seemed that No. 1 had a painful example.

In the next challenge, the other people in the training class were obviously much more cautious.

Unlike No. 1, he did not directly select the challenge target because of the information collected in advance, but observed it on the spot before launching the challenge.

Like the challenge opportunity, being challenged was only once.

So after being challenged once, no one would challenge Naraku again.

When he returned to the second floor, he naturally pretended to recover his strength and rested with his back against the wall.

As for the assessment.

He didn't plan to be promoted. After dealing with his part, he would just slack off.

Time passed slowly.

Before he knew it, the challenge of the training class came to an end.

Some of them failed in the challenge like No. 1, but some succeeded in the challenge, replaced the original one, and were promoted to reserve members.

Those who were picked over, after the second stage of the assessment began, hurriedly challenged those who had not been challenged at the same level.

But the result was very realistic.

These people were defeated by the people in the training class, which was enough to prove that their strength ranked at the bottom among the reserve forces.

After the fierce battle, even if they had some rest, their strength would inevitably be affected.

So in the end, three reserve forces were eliminated.

These three people seemed to be abandoned by the whole world, and they were all taken away by the special personnel with pale faces.

What awaits them will be a tragic ending.

Although such a situation will appear in the annual assessment.

But it is undeniable that among the reserve forces closest to elimination, some people were trembling in their hearts when they saw the three people being taken away.

Naraku also opened his eyes and looked at the backs of the three people leaving when the three people were taken away.

His eyes were deep.

In fact, the first time he had the idea of ​​breaking the "Tongue Trouble Rooting Seal" came from the first assessment he participated in.

When he saw the desperate eyes of those eliminated people, he realized that he must be free.

Not free, I would rather die.

The internal assessment of the root organization passed quietly.

Some people were promoted, and some were demoted.

For Naraku, it was just a farce.

After the assessment, Naraku, who maintained his position, continued to carry out the tasks of the Ninja School smoothly.

However, after seeing the despair of the eliminated people again, Naraku was somewhat stimulated, and he devoted more energy to cracking the "Tongue Trouble Seal" in the following days.

It took another half a month.

Finally, on this day, the "Tongue Trouble Seal" became a thing of the past.
