Chapter 793 Going North

After running quickly and escaping from the oppression caused by the contraction of the "Circle of Divine Punishment", Kurama Yakumo, Haruno Sakura, and Shiho found an abandoned underground shelter. After destroying the puppet guards, they cleaned up the ant colony nesting in it. , harvested a lot of fresh water and dry food.

"The water is still clear and the food is stale, but it's still edible!"

After preliminarily judging the status of the supplies, Haruno Sakura said with confidence,

"Finally, we don't have to rely on the sour blood of those insect beasts to quench our thirst!"

Drinking water is easy. If it is boiled after filtering, there will be basically no problem. Food spoilage will be troublesome.

In fact, the shelf life of most biscuits, cured meats, cans, quick-frozen seafood, etc., as long as the sealed outer packaging is not damaged or exposed to water or defrosted, is far beyond what most people imagine. Even if it is left for decades and eaten again, there will be no big problem. The expiry date marked on the package is a suggestion based on comprehensive considerations. It does not mean that if you eat it after it is exceeded, you will suffer from diarrhea or even poisoning.

Whether it tastes good or not is another matter!

Of course, fresh milk, soy products, fruits and vegetables are another matter.

Fortunately, Sunagakure Village is not so generous as to use this "luxury product" as a supply for the Chunin exam. It mainly consists of pickled and smoked seafood, dehydrated kelp and high-calorie canned sugar water, which can be eaten directly or steamed with water. .

The three girls made a simple earthen stove, poured some disinfectant alcohol and lighting oil on the broken wood fragments of the puppet, lit it, set up the iron pot, and sat around to enjoy a rare and comfortable meal.

"I have set up an illusion trap outside. No one will pay attention here. We still have a lot of time to rest..."

Kurama Yakumo was eating the unpalatable boiled marinated meat, chewing on compressed biscuits, and taking another sip of water before he could barely swallow the indescribable food.

"The team of all female ninjas does still have flaws. The physical disadvantage may be the biggest problem we will face..."

Haruno Sakura was in good spirits, but she didn't drink enough water. Coupled with the wind and sun, her face was darker, and her beautiful pink hair was stained with many stains.

Shiho, whose overall strength is slightly inferior, originally had a slovenly attitude towards life, which made him not very energetic. After a long journey, he now looks even more embarrassed.

Fortunately, his will is still strong, and even though he is very tired, the perseverance in his eyes has not diminished at all.

"Frontally attacking is not our specialty, and although the main theme of the second trial is 'Battle Royale', it does not require defeating many enemies. In addition, although it is somewhat difficult, we can also try to join forces with teams with complementary capabilities... "

Kurama Yakumo, who has the weakest physical strength, is now in much better physical condition than before. In fact, he is still below the average. Fortunately, he has a White Zetsu clone to supplement his physical strength and chakra. The considerate little Kashiwagi can also relieve mental fatigue from time to time. .

Even so, the eldest lady of the Kurama family, who had almost zero combat power outside of illusions, still felt her mouth was dry and her throat was about to smoke.

After walking too long, the leg muscles are constantly shaking. If you don't get enough rest, they may cramp at any time.

"There are not many teams that can make people feel reassured and can also provide us with help, such as the team of Hyuga Neji, Rock Lee and Tiantian, but do they like us?"

After replenishing some food and fresh water, Kurama Yakumo, who finally relieved his physical discomfort, sneered,

"Class 8 and Class 10 may be able to join forces, but the 'Demon Desert' is so big, where can we find them? If you ask me, we should go straight to the center of the 'Demon Desert' to ambush and wait for other teams. Come..."

And whether it can be done or not is uncertain. In addition to Shiho, Kurama Yakumo and Haruno Sakura are strong enemies. There is no guarantee that they will not cross the river and burn the bridge.

It would be better to take the initiative and eliminate other competitors, and the Kurama family's blood inheritance ability can play the greatest role.

Along the way, they also met a group of candidates, and successfully defeated them and robbed them of the only food and water they had. As expected, they should have been taken out of the "Demon Desert" by the rescue team. Lost the qualification to take the exam.

…

While the teams were fighting for their wits, Daimaru blocked the entrance to the Land of Rain. His arrogant and provocative behavior had been going on for almost a day, but there was still no response from the other side, making Daimaru's vague guess closer and closer to reality.

"Nagato and Konan are not in the Land of Rain. Where have they gone?" 』

Now the one who can make them take action personally must be a certain tailed beast or a certain Jinchuuriki. If they are not attacking one of the five major ninja villages, then they must be capturing some unlucky guy who is alone.

"Five-tails or six-tails?" 』

One has already defected for a long time, and the other may defect at any time, which is not very safe no matter how you look at it.

"It's troublesome!" 』

It is impossible for Daimaru to leave Sunagakure Village for a long time. The position of Yugao, the six-tailed jinchuriki, is uncertain. For the sake of face, Onoki cannot accept the interference of ninjas from other villages in the five-tailed jinchuriki affairs of Iwagakure Village, especially the four-tailed jinchuriki. The tail jinchuriki Lao Zi "picked up" the sold Daimaru.

Guys with "criminal records" must be strictly guarded against.

“I feel like there are hidden dangers that need to be dealt with everywhere, and I’m so busy! 』

Moreover, the powerful enemies that may appear in every place cannot be dealt with by just using the power of puppet projection.

After weighing it for a while, Daimaru made up his mind, waved his chakra wings, and headed towards the northern border of Grass Country and Earth Country. At the same time, he ordered Night Eye to pay attention to the border of Wind Country.

With the ultimate speed that can break the sound barrier, no member of the "Akatsuki" organization can return faster than Daimaru, and a raid on Sunagakure Village is impossible.

In contrast, the Yanyin Village side may be more troublesome, and the vague and perfunctory responses all the time make people feel uneasy.

In less than half an hour, they passed the border of the Kingdom of Rain and were about to enter the Kingdom of Earth. A shuriken made of white paper was fired at Daimaru. When it got close, it exploded. There was a continuous rumbling sound. Fire and smoke enveloped the speeding ball.

In mid-air, a scorching ball of smoke hundreds of meters wide continued to expand, like a ferocious beast. A few seconds later, a figure wrapped in thick green vines rushed out of the explosion area. He used Wood Escape to defend himself in time, and then used Wind Escape. Daimaru, who rebounded the shock wave, did not suffer any damage.

Daimaru had expected to encounter an ambush in the sky, but after escaping a series of explosions, it felt uncomfortable to be surrounded by several "angels" with paper wings.

At the same time, a ferocious giant Yata bird galloped over carrying an orange-haired figure.

"Xiaonan and the beast? It's really troublesome..."

There are only so many flying ninjas in the world, and very few can pose a threat to Daimaru.
