Chapter 526 Hongdou arrives
"Ino!"
Shikamaru shouted anxiously, but he carefully laid Ino flat on the ground. Next to Ino, lay the unconscious Choji.
Unexpectedly, Ino failed in the end!
Ino's condition, in Shikamaru's eyes, naturally became a sign of failure in the fight for control of the body.
But, what to do next? !
Looking at the approaching Orochimaru, Shikamaru has never hated his own weakness as much as he does now, and looks forward to strength!
"Hehehe... No matter whether it is exquisite cooperation or brilliant ingenuity, it will not help." Orochimaru gave advice with a smile.
To be honest, Orochimaru was very disappointed with the strength of the new generation of Inogacho, but his team awareness and ability to withstand pressure are still worthy of recognition.
"So, what are you going to do now?" Orochimaru licked his lips, looking forward to Shikamaru's next choice.
Are you abandoning your companions and running away? Or recklessly choose to fight to the death? still......
"I surrender!"
Shikamaru neatly placed the scroll in his hand on the ground, placed his right hand on the scroll, and looked up at Orochimaru.
"It's us who offend you because we don't know the bounds of heaven and earth. I will present the scroll here in the hope that you can let us live."
Shikamaru knelt on the ground with one knee, his back exposed to Orochimaru, and spoke sincerely, without any emotion in his tone, as if this was the result of his rational judgment.
"Is this your answer... What a pity..." Orochimaru said disappointedly, walking towards Shikamaru without stopping.
Seeing Orochimaru pressing closer and closer, beads of sweat slowly slipped from Shikamaru's forehead.
Suddenly, Shikamaru exhaled and smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, even if I hand the scroll to you, are you still unwilling to let us go?"
"Hehehe, you are right." Orochimaru kept walking, showing a smile full of murderous intent.
"Scroll...as long as I kill you, the scroll will naturally be mine...hehehe..."
"That's it." Shikamaru sighed, sat down on the ground, and suddenly showed an expression of relief: "Since you won't let us go, I have no choice but to give up the exam."
"Oh? I think you didn't understand the situation. Even if you give up the exam, you are destined to die here." Orochimaru licked the corners of his mouth, his smile was extremely ferocious.
"Haha, you're the one who didn't understand the situation, right?" Shikamaru smiled sarcastically: "Don't forget the exam rules explained by the examiner at the beginning!"
Shikamaru stretched out a finger, his eyes flashing with insight: "It is strictly forbidden to peek at the scroll before reaching the tower!"
"So what? It's reasonable to prohibit peeking at the information carried during the mission, isn't it?" Orochimaru smiled nonchalantly.
"Haha, that's right! But I have been thinking about how the examiners can monitor whether we peek at the scrolls! After all, the area of the 44th training ground is too large. No matter how many examiners there are, it is impossible to monitor every team. Completely undetected by candidates.”
"Oh? What's your conclusion?" Orochimaru stopped and suddenly became interested.
"The conclusion is that this scroll must have a built-in setting that once opened, the candidates will be instantly disqualified! And there will be examiners to take away the eliminated candidates immediately! There may be only one, and that is necromancy!"
Shikamaru grabbed both sides of the scroll tightly with both hands and shouted loudly: "I don't believe you can kill us when the chuunin examiner is present! Moreover, you also lost the opportunity to snatch the scroll!"
Shikamaru looked proud and confident. He was very confident in his own judgment and also very confident in the strength of the Konoha examiner who organized this exam!
The examiners are at least experienced chunin. The Sunagakure candidate in front of me must not dare to make a mistake in front of the examiners!
Orochimaru:......
Good decision-making and reasonable use of rules successfully turned a life-threatening situation into a safe one.
As expected of the Nara family!
It's just that... this way of looking at people needs to be improved.
Orochimaru admitted that he released the sea, but he wouldn't be regarded as a being that even a mere chuunin examiner couldn't deal with, right?
Or, until now, Shikamaru thought he was just an ordinary Sunagakure candidate?
Was the disguise too successful?
Orochimaru had an old problem in his mouth and didn't know how to spit it out.
Here, Shikamaru was clearly forced to give up the exam and summon the examiner to save his life, but his eyes were shining with excitement and victory.
"Goodbye! This Sunagakure candidate!"
Shikamaru took the scroll's two hands and pulled it off hard!
"Snapped!"
A hand pressed hard on Shikamaru's hand, stopping Shikamaru's movements.
A muscular figure wearing a windbreaker appeared in front of Shikamaru.
"It's best not to do this, as you will lose your qualifications for the exam."
After saying that, the person stood up and blocked Orochimaru's gaze from Shikamaru.
"Examiner Anko!" Shikamaru exclaimed. He didn't expect to see the examiner here in person!
He hadn't had time to tear open the scroll, so he must not have been summoned. Then, the examiner must have had another purpose when he came!
Shikamaru instantly remembered the Sunagakure candidate in front of him like a cat playing with a mouse.
Could it be him?
"Don't stay here, take your companions and leave immediately!" Anko said to Shikamaru in a very firm and unquestionable tone.
Shikamaru was interrupted from his thoughts for a moment, looked at Anko's back, nodded slowly, and said, "Yes!"
Before, Shikamaru thought that Orochimaru was just a Sunagakure candidate whose strength was seriously exceeded, and he naively thought that a Chuunin examiner could deal with him. Now this idea has been overturned.
Judging from the way Hongdou looks like he is facing a formidable enemy, I am afraid that the opponent is not a candidate at all, but an enemy who disguised himself and sneaked into the examination room!
However, Shikamaru knew very well that with their current state of Team 10, remaining here would only be a burden to Anko.
Leaving is the best choice!
"Hopefully, enough backup will arrive later..." Shikamaru murmured to himself as he hugged Choji and Ino and ran away.
Now Shikamaru can only take his companions to escape quickly, and for the rest, he can only trust the village...
——
Anko held a kunai in her hand and stared at Orochimaru in front of her with sharp eyes.
Orochimaru looked at Anko with great interest, licking the corners of his mouth from time to time, as if tasting some delicacy.
Neither of them made any words or movements. It wasn't until Shikamaru and others walked away that Orochimaru said, "Long time no see, Anko...you've grown so big..."
There was quite a bit of nostalgia in the words.
"Hmph, Orochimaru, I'm going to end it with you here today!" Anko was unmoved by Orochimaru's words, and a strong murderous aura erupted from her whole body.
But this level of murderous intent was like a spring breeze to Orochimaru. He said with a smile: "Haha...Aren't you curious about the purpose of my appearance this time? Do you want to kill me quickly?"
