Chapter 50: 1st round of testing, avoidance

"Master, come this way."

In the dimly lit passage, crisp footsteps could be heard, rhythmically moving in the darkness. This place, hidden in the underground of Konoha without sunlight, was one of the important places for the Anbu training department.

The name "Root" comes from the root, which means the roots of the towering tree Konoha are buried deep under the ground, silently providing continuous nourishment and support to the entire Konoha village.

Yue Le had a faint smile on his face, and occasionally cast a friendly look at the Root ninja who was leading the way ahead.

Before this, Yuele had never really set foot in the root system, and only had a vague understanding of everything in it. However, now that Danzo asked him to officially enter the root system, Yuele had to complete a series of procedures step by step according to the regulations.

The shadows under my feet moved and swayed in the light of the corridor with my steps, like ghosts. Every time I walked a distance, a torch would appear in my sight, and the flames licked the air, making a subtle hissing sound.

In the dim firelight, Yue Le and the other's figures were stretched and distorted, as if they were in a strange dream.

Turning the corner, they came to a rusty iron gate. The guide stopped and looked at Yue Le with a smile, his eyes showing respect and kindness.

Everyone knows Yue Le's status in the Root. Most people are very enthusiastic about this existence who can decide their fate with just one word. Even though he is the one who led Yue Le on this journey, he does not dare to deliberately intimidate Yue Le.

Do you really want to quit your job at the root? This isn't a charity...

"Master, we are here."

"Ok, alright, Thanks."

"No, no, it's my honor to serve you, Master."

When the guide saw Yue Le thanking him, he quickly bowed humbly, waved his hands, smiled, and spoke in a gentle voice that was unlike his own.

"Master, you are too polite! There are three tests for entering the Root this time. Master Danzo has specifically instructed us to increase the difficulty by 50%. I hope you will be more tolerant and don't blame me."

After hearing this, Yue Le shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't care.

He knew very well that this test would not be easy, but he was confident that he could pass it.

So, under the guidance of the guide, Yue Le stretched out his hand and pushed open the heavy iron door in front of him. With a sharp creaking sound, the door opened and Yue Le stepped into the venue of the first test.

The moment he stepped into the room, Yue Le could not help but feel a little surprised. The whole room was brightly lit, just like daytime, and the walls were covered with closely arranged small holes, through which a faint cold light could be seen, making people shudder.

At this moment, a voice came from a corner.

"Master, please stand in the center of the room."

Yue Le looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was a speaker mounted on the wall that was making the sound.

Although he couldn't see the person who was speaking, he nodded politely and responded, "I see." Then he walked to the center of the room without hesitation.

Yue Le looked calm at this moment, as if he was full of confidence in the upcoming test, but he also had the right to be proud.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Yue Le vaguely understood what the test was about. As for the densely packed holes, Yue Le was not worried at all.

What a joke! Ever since he came back from the Bird Kingdom, he has been called the "Wind Bird" by the outside world.

He became famous in the Kingdom of Birds and was praised as a swift and sharp bird of prey soaring in the sky. Although he is still young, he still has his own name, the Wind Bird.

He was already known for his lightning speed, so naturally he was not afraid of the scene before him.

Yue Le narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the wall in front of him. Although he knew in his heart that this test was nothing to him, Yue Le still did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

As the saying goes, those who are good at swimming often drown in water, and those who are good at riding can easily fall off their horses.

Yue Le would never let arrogance and underestimation of the enemy become the reason for his defeat, especially in the field he is good at.

He stood steadily in the center of the venue, with the bright and dazzling light shining directly on him. Yue Le adjusted his vision slightly to adapt to the strong light.

"Master, please pay attention to the holes in the wall. In the first round of tests, the key is to test your adaptability, speed, and dodging skills. After the three-second countdown, the test will officially start. At that time, the holes in the wall will shoot shurikens at you from all directions."

"You can use kunai, any non-mass-destructive ninjutsu, and other means, but please pay attention to the light circle under your feet. The light circle is your range of movement. If you exceed the light circle, you will fail this test."

“Do you need me to repeat it?”

As the sound from the loudspeaker faded, the lights above became brighter, forming a circle of light with a diameter of two meters on the ground.

"No thanks."

Yue Le took the kunai out of the bandage on his calf with a serious look on his face. It seems that this time it will be quite difficult. It's really... a bit exciting.

At this time, in the operation room on the other side, under two dim lights, several people were watching Yue Le's every move.

Orochi, Danzo, and Tsunade, as a test for Yuele to officially enter the Root system, they had no reason not to come.

"Danzo, isn't this a bit too difficult for Yuele?"

"Haha, maybe. This may be difficult for other ordinary Root Ninjas, but you have to know what Yue Le's record in the Bird Country represents. "Wind Bird", haha, it's really good..."

Danzo's eyes were filled with satisfaction, and Orochimaru beside him also interrupted,

"There's no need to worry, Tsunade. Yue Le's observation and reaction abilities are not weak. He can face three senior jonins from the Hidden Rock Village at the same time. His strength has been fully proven."

Thinking of this, Orochimaru couldn't help but recall that time,

On that night in the Land of Birds, the moonlight was dim and everything was silent. He quietly hid in the darkness, following closely behind Yuele. At first, when Yuele encountered the three powerful rock ninjas, Orochimaru had planned to wait for an opportunity to help.

However, what was unexpected was that Yue Le showed amazing strength, fighting one against three without losing at all! Seeing this, Orochimaru was surprised and relieved at the same time, so he rushed into the escape passage with confidence to capture the Lord of the Bird Country, Yingbai.

At this moment, the three people's eyes fell on the screen in front of them.

With the executor's command, dozens or even hundreds of shurikens shot out from the walls in all directions like a torrential rain! These shurikens seemed to be endowed with life, accurately and densely blocking every inch of space.

Due to the careful limitation of the attack range, Yue Le's initial left and right movement skills were only effective in the first few seconds.
