Chapter 787 Arrangements in advance

After the list of candidates who passed the first test was confirmed, the eliminated candidates quickly embarked on their way home.

After all, Awaji Village is a new settlement that has prospered due to the rise of commerce, and there are not many interesting places. Even if you want to travel here, it is not during the hot summer.

In just two weeks, several candidates from other places were sunburned because they did not know much about the consequences of being exposed to the sun and wore too cool clothes.

Light-colored gowns and trousers, headscarves and hoods to cover the hair, and bamboo hats are the common attire of the residents here. If you do not cover your arms and legs because you are greedy for the cold, if you move outside, you are asking for trouble.

Three months later, it will be early autumn, and the beaches here will still be very comfortable. It is now early June, and the midsummer heat wave is approaching step by step. Even ninjas can appreciate the harsh environment of the Kingdom of Wind.

"It's so hot in Awaji Village near the seaside. I don't know how miserable it is in Sunagakure Village..."

Shiho, who had been staying indoors for a long time, dealing with secret codes, covered her forehead with her hands to prevent the sun from shining directly on her eyes. The sweat on her face continued to flow down, making her already not so good in physical condition even more depressed.

Haruno Sakura narrowed her eyes slightly, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand and replied:

"The temperature is not much higher than here. What makes people feel uncomfortable is the strong wind, and the heat waves blowing up the wind and sand. I really don't want to experience that feeling again..."

Having said this, the three female ninjas whose physical strength was not superior among the many candidates fell silent.

Sunagakure Village has made ordinary ninjas feel uncomfortable. It is said that the "Demon Desert" is much more terrifying. What exactly is going on is really unsettling.

At this moment, the three Kumo ninjas were talking frivolously, passing by the female ninja team, and hearing what they were talking about.

"It's really enviable. You are so big-hearted that you don't know the difficulties that will follow!"

Shiho glanced at the guy who was about to become a contender for the second trial.

"I probably haven't read the exam instructions very much!"

"Maybe I got the general rules information in advance, so I took it a little lightly!"

Kurama Yakumo guessed.

After the written test was over, Ryuuza, the jounin of Sunagakure Village, took over and simply announced a two-day break. On the third day, he would go to Sunagakure Village and on the fourth day, he would go to the Demonic Desert to start the three-day competition for the second test.

"Adequate rest, informing candidates of the test content in advance, and allowing candidates to be mentally prepared. With such 'intimate' arrangements, some people will inevitably feel that the difficulty of the second test will be reduced..."

Haruno Sakura sighed.

As candidates who passed the first test, they may not be able to break through the trap set by the examiner, but other competitors performed worse, so these lucky ones were given a chance.

Therefore, many candidates who were qualified to participate in the second examination did not realize the almost straightforward hint of Suna Ninja.

Informing the exam rules in advance is indeed convenient for candidates and reduces the difficulty, but this is also relative.

In the past, it was rarely possible to reveal the test questions in advance, but this time the examiner of Sunagakure Village did so, obviously not worrying about the candidates preparing in advance.

"Only when the difficulty is beyond imagination, the examiner is worried that no one will pass, so he gives some preferential treatment..."

The Joint Chuunin Exam is not a ninja game, but an arena where people can die, especially the theme of the second test, which I clearly tell everyone.

Battle Royale!

In the rules notice, it is natural to sign a life and death certificate; the true meaning of "possible life danger" is definitely much more serious than most candidates understand; "it is recommended to prepare in advance" means that if you are careless, you will not be able to If you are well prepared, you will be considered lucky if you are eliminated; "Please call for help as soon as possible when encountering a strong enemy that is difficult to resist" shows the degree of danger in the "Demon Desert", so much so that even a slight hesitation will delay rescue.

As for quicksand, sandstorms, tornadoes, landslides, and desert insect plagues, the dangers are not worth listing separately compared to the above.

When did the Chuunin Exams become so considerate of the candidates?

Since you do this, there is a reason!

If you don’t read the exam rules carefully and carefully study the fatal crises that may be hidden in them, you may die without knowing how!

"Airdropping food, drinking water, wound medicine, hemostatic bandages, first aid kits, military ration pills, etc., it is really a 'reassuring' exam environment! Even the examiner feels that it is difficult to survive in the wild without providing any help. 'Battle Royale' is out of the question..."

Kurama Yakumo explained matter-of-factly,

"It always feels like it's very disadvantageous for us. None of the three of us are physically strong and have no experience in desert survival..."

"The key lies in the concept of the 'Circle of Divine Punishment', which continuously gathers candidates together and then determines the final winner. It does not even prohibit teams from joining forces. Is this encouraging alliances during the exam?"

Haruno Sakura, who was the only one to have experienced the last chuunin exam, was a little confused. If there were no restrictions, the largest number of Konoha ninjas could join forces to eliminate candidates from other villages?

Shiho shook his head slightly and replied:

"I think it may be that the initial distribution of the 'Hidden Soul Incense' will play a key role! Using chakra to stimulate it can cover itself and reduce the risk of being discovered and attacked by the giant monsters and insects in the 'Demon Desert' Possibly, you can get the Hidden Soul Incense by defeating the wandering 'puppet guards', and you can also get the corresponding materials by searching for the ruins. Without it, the candidates might be like rats thrown into a snake's den, trying not to be 'swallowed up' , in addition to killing 'wild monsters' to get supplements, only by robbing other candidates' hidden soul incense and supplies can they continue to survive in the 'Demon Desert'. The so-called friendship of the same village is not worth mentioning under such pressure... "

"Big" describes the space of the examination room, and "escape" and "kill" are the themes of this second joint Chunin examination.

"I deeply feel the malice of this Chunin Exam..."

Kurama Yakumo sighed slightly,

"Sakura, were you in such trouble two years ago?"

"The exam setting is not too difficult. The only danger is other candidates!"

Speaking of the story of that year, Haruno Sakura couldn't help but recall,

"Except for guys with ulterior motives like Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto, the one who killed the most was the Fifth Kazekage Gaara, and the one who caused the most damage was Daimaru. If it weren't for them, the 'Forest of Death' wouldn't actually be that dangerous..."

This year's "Demon Desert", Sunagakure Village has obviously "added ingredients" in order to prepare for the Joint Chunin Examination.

"The second trial lasted only three days, while the 'Forest of Death' two years ago lasted five days. The level of danger was obviously much higher!"

The words of "experienced" seniors are still valuable for reference. Haruno Sakura thought for a while and said,

"It's a pity that we don't have the materials, otherwise we could make a batch of military food pills in advance for later use..."
