Chapter 43: A fishy fish

"Wait, an enemy is approaching!"

A somewhat weak Xianglin timidly warned her teammates.

"Enemy? How is it possible? We haven't gone far and we are being targeted?"

The Kusanagi holding the sword couldn't believe it.

"Really, it came very quickly, and the target is pointed at us. It can't be wrong."

"who is it?"

The slightly short leader asked.

"That's Daimaru, the sand ninja puppet master."

"That Sand Ninja who has a very bad temper and speaks very arrogantly? Just in time, let's go and test his strength. His two teammates don't seem to be very strong. Maybe this is an opportunity..."

"I think it's better to avoid it..."

"Shut up, you idiot!"

The sword-wielding Kusanagi pushed the incense stick.

"If you weren't so useless, we wouldn't have to be so careful..."

The guy who didn't recognize his own strength not only didn't run away, but bumped into him head-on, which made the pursuing Yinfeng team overjoyed.

"I have been unlucky for more than ten years, and I finally got lucky today. Yemu, Qian, get ready..."

Generally, genin, except for the joint chuunin exams, rarely encounter ninjas from other villages.

There is a big difference between fighting among the genin of the same village and fighting with outsiders.

Daimaru took the lead, throwing out the puppet on his shoulder, and the steel fracture fan hit the long sword wielded by the opponent.

"I'll entangle his puppet, you go and break his body..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a short grass ninja rushed straight towards him, pointing his kunai at Daimaru's heart.

"Go to hell, you bastard puppet master!"

boom……

A straight punch hit the short Kusanagi's chin directly.

There was a crunching sound, and the jaw was probably broken.

"You're going to lose someone's life if you take action. Grass ninjas are such a bunch of guys who don't know how to be polite. Do you think you can beat the puppet master at close range? I can beat you into a pig's head without chakra!"

Daimaru followed up with another heavy stomp, hitting his abdomen and instantly knocking him out until he vomited blood.

On the other side, Chi cooperated with Daimaru's puppet Temari and defeated the sword-wielding Kusanagi in a few rounds.

Yeme, on the other hand, rushed past the two grass ninjas who were slightly more capable, directly found Xianglin's hiding place, captured him, and found the Earth Scroll needed by the Nekaze team in his ninja tool bag.

…

By a hidden river, Xiang Rin was paralyzed on the ground at a loss. The sword-wielding Kusanagi and the short Kusanagi had their hands tied behind their backs by Daimaru's puppet. They knelt on the ground, waiting for Daimaru in front of them to fall.

"Why do you guys, who are already as strong as monsters, bully weaklings like us?"

"I burst into tears. It's really sad for those who hear it and sheds tears for those who see it!"

Daimaru said lazily with an indifferent attitude,

"You are weak and you are being bullied. Do you blame me?"

"You have already won. Just take the scroll. Why do you want to stay and continue to humiliate us?"

"It's really ugly!"

Daimaru stepped forward and kicked each of them to the ground.

"You were so aggressive before the fight, and you complained when you lost. You are not as respectable as the little girl over there. Although she was scared, at least she was not scared to death like you."

"Almost done, Daimaru!"

Qian tugged on Daimaru's sleeves.

"Temari isn't here, so I can't see you showing off your power, so you should leave early!"

Nighteye agreed:

"Yes, now that we have collected the Scrolls of Heaven and Scrolls of Earth, we can go straight to the central tower and successfully pass the second level!"

"Not in a hurry!"

"Hey, Daimaru, didn't you promise Captain Nekaze that you won't cause trouble in the upcoming Chuunin Exams? You must not mess around!"

Qian said nervously, fearing that Daimaru would make another big mistake and it would not end well.

"This is a life-and-death survival competition. If you're not careful, you may lose your life. Don't be afraid. Yemu and I can't bear the trouble."

"Don't worry, how could I put my dear companions in danger?"

As Daimaru spoke, he kicked the sword-wielding grass ninja who was pretending to be dead, and then stepped on the face of the grunting short grass ninja leader.

"You scumbags, I really don't know how you passed the first written test. But it's a pity that you met me, and your luck ended here.

Originally, your Chuunin Exam should have ended here, but..."

Daimaru picked up the black-rimmed glasses on the ground, wiped the dust on the lenses, slowly approached Xianglin who was trembling with fear, squatted down, and put her glasses on properly.

"Little girl, seeing as you still have some backbone, I'll give you a chance..."

I don’t know how Daimaru could see that Xiang Rin, who was too frightened to speak, had any backbone. Anyway, he was just telling lies with his eyes open.

"Hey, Daimaru, do you want to..."

Daimaru waved his hand to stop Chiwa Yami who wanted to say something, then took out a "Scroll of the Sky" and handed it to the stunned Kaoru.

"I took away your Earth Scroll, and it is impossible to return it to you. However, we have an extra 'Heaven Scroll' in our hands, which is of no use anyway, so we gave it to you."

Seeing the stupid Xiang Rin not moving, Daimaru placed the scroll on the ground in front of her.

"I've put the things here. It's up to you whether you can take them or not. With your strength, continuing to stay in the Forest of Death is a good thing or a bad thing. I really can't tell. Maybe I was soft-hearted for a moment, and you lost your lives. It’s unknown. Haha..."

Daimaru, who was smiling pointlessly, stood up:

"Yeyeme, Qian, let's go!"

The two worried female ninjas looked at Xiang Rin who was at a loss, and then at the "Scroll of Heaven" on the ground. After hesitating for a while, they still followed Daimaru's footsteps.

After a while, realizing that the Nekaze team had really gone far, the sword-wielding Kusanagi who was pretending to be dead struggled to get up, walked staggeringly in front of Xiang Rin, put away the "Scroll of the Sky" on the ground, and then pulled up Xiang Rin The arm was bitten hard,

"It's all your fault, you useless loser. If it weren't for you, we would have escaped long ago."

Another short Kusanagi climbed up unceremoniously and bit Xiang Rin's other arm.

The pain made Xianglin scream involuntarily, but the two injured companions who were quickly healed by her special physique scolded the little girl who was unable to resist without mercy.

…

In the distance, when the Yinfeng team was taking a rest and eating, the confused Qian couldn't help but ask:

"Daimaru, since when did we have extra scrolls of heaven?"

Yemu said with some dissatisfaction:

"Where are the extra Heavenly Scrolls? Daimaru, although you are the boss, you should consider our feelings at least. Why did you give the Heavenly Scroll to Kusanagi?"

"Don't be stupid, you two..."

Daimaru smiled mysteriously and took out a pair of Sky Scrolls and Earth Scrolls.

"Isn't it good? Don't worry, I'm not stupid."
