I have a bunch of relatives who want to be Hokage

This is indeed the truth.

Without blood successors, Konoha ninjas would not be targeted unnecessarily and would be able to handle the exams with ease.

This is also a protection for reference ninjas.

And their performance in the Joint Chuunin Examination itself is also part of the accumulation of merit, which is equivalent to tilting resources towards civilian genin and broadening their channels for advancement.

Although it is essentially to protect Xuejie, at least the food looks good.

In the world of Naruto, it is not easy to do this.

But on the fourth day, when Uchiha Shingen discovered that several good prospects in Konoha's team had not returned, he could no longer sit still.

Counting him, the three major ninja villages jointly began to put pressure on Sunagakure.

The person in charge of Sunagakure present also had a headache.

Others may not care, but these three must care.

He knew very well that if Sunagakure Village had not publicly announced its actions to improve security and capture the murderer, the leaders of the three major ninja villages would not only have exerted pressure, but would have broken in long ago - because they would have suspected that the murderer was Sunagakure. The hidden village itself.

In fact, that's what Huangtu and Terumi Mei thought, but Uchiha Shingen felt that it really didn't look like the arm of Sunagakure Village.

Luo Sha may be at the bottom among the current Five Shadows, but his brain is not that bad.

Other senior officials of Sunagakure Village would not do such a thing of destroying their own sign. The murderer did not just target one family, he targeted all the contestants.

He didn't attack Sunagakure's genin, but he attacked the Sunagakure genin who was proctoring the exam.

Of course, there was one village that the ninja murderer didn't attack.

That was Amegakure, but the team that Kusagakure had arrived kept saying that the Amegakure people didn't even have a chance to meet the murderer, and they were killed by Kirigakure and Iwagakure's team.

This is very embarrassing.

But now no one is in the mood to tease Yuyin, because on the fourth day, the murderer was already unscrupulous. Every team that arrived at their destination that day said that they were all attacked.

The reason why they were able to get here is also very simple. The murderer didn't take a fancy to them and attacked them just to lure out the Suna ninja who was proctoring the exam.

The other party was a puppet master with superb skills, and this information was also confirmed.

The Suna ninja who proctored the exam also wanted to get some materials.

From this point of view, the other party has plans to temporarily make or transform puppets.

Not to mention that the person in charge of Sunagakure's examination room was so angry that his face was deformed, but all the team leaders had already smelled something different.

This murderer is probably no ordinary person.

Sunagakure Village performed poorly in the Third Ninja World War. It was also one of the five major ninja villages. Considering that the opponent was not only a puppet master but also familiar with the desert, it felt like home, even if he did not run away from Sunagakure Village. He must have something to do with Sunagakure, and combined with the description of his strength by the surviving candidates - killing the Sunagakure who invigilated the exam is like chopping vegetables, and he may not be able to reach the level of an elite jounin.

[It can’t really be that scorpion...]

Uchiha Shingen was also a little shocked.

Even elite jounin can't do it by one person, and there are jounin among the proctoring ninjas.

Except for the Red Sand Scorpion, no one matched the abilities shown by the murderer.

If it was him, then Uchiha Shingen would be a little bit incomprehensible.

He admitted that this joint chuunin exam did have a little more blood, but for this, he had to fight the entire Sunagakure Village... No, he should be fighting against most of the ninja world, so he couldn't make a mistake, right?

No matter what, I must go and check it out.

Faced with the pressure from the three major ninja villages, the person in charge of Sunagakure really couldn't bear it. He had already sent someone to report to the Kazekage Building.

Luo Sha was also very straightforward. Knowing that there was no need to stop him at this time, he immediately sent someone to reply to express his agreement.

He wished that several ninja villages would simply announce that they would not hold the Chuunin Exams this time and take their people out as soon as possible, so as to save money for Sunagakure Village.

After receiving the clear instructions from the Kazekage, the person in charge of Sunagakure breathed a sigh of relief and immediately conveyed the meaning to Uchiha Shingen, Huangtu and Terumi Mei.

The three team leaders were not surprised by this and had no ink marks. They asked Sunagakure for a guide and turned around to enter the desert.

With the strength of the three people's feet, it didn't take long for the man-made buildings behind them to disappear under the horizon. After a while, the surroundings were already filled with unchanging yellow sand.

"Let's act separately." Terumi Mei said, "Both Mr. Huangtu and I need to find the genin of our own village first. Time is urgent, so take the first step."

"Okay." Uchiha Shingen nodded, "Although everyone should think so, I still want to say more. The other party may be the Red Sand Scorpion, so be careful."

Huangtu and Terumi Mei nodded, indicating that they knew what they were thinking, and then they separated.

They were going to find Deidara and Kimimaro first.

If the murderer is the Crimson Sand Scorpion, the two little guys really can't escape, their ranks are too far apart.

After the two left, Uchiha Shingen took a photo of his "guide" and asked: "Where is the main team in Konoha now?"

If there is anyone in Konoha who is most likely to be regarded as material, Uchiha Shingen feels that the most likely person is Inuzuka Hana.

The Inuzuka clan is a family of secret arts, but their secret arts are probably so unique that after a long period of continuous inheritance, the secret arts began to affect the physiology of the Inuzuka clan, and some common characteristics appeared.

For example, the four-legged jutsu that most genin of the Inuzuka clan can use is because their limbs are more active than ordinary people, can better withstand and release chakra, and their sense of smell is also extremely developed.

This can already be considered a special ability.

For the criteria for judging materials for human puppets, ability is the first selection factor.

Chapter 37 The pursuit of art has nothing to do with age

boom!

The explosion pushed the gravel into the air, then fell back down.

It hit the ground like raindrops.

Kimimaro watched expressionlessly as Deidara took out another ball of clay from his bag.

There's a reason why they stay together.

"Didn't you say you could blow him up?" Kimimaro pointed at Hiruko, who seemed to be innocent, and with an expression of "You lied again", he severely criticized Deidara beside him.

"Anyone else would have been killed." Deidara was unconvinced, "You can do it."

Kimimaro glanced back and saw Hirauko slowly moving toward the two of them.

"We can't beat him." He said honestly, "Let's keep running. We can run faster than him. If we run further, he won't be able to find us."

"This is not the first time you have said this..." Although Deidara said this, his body still moved from his heart.

The two little guys ran far away in the flying dust in the blink of an eye.

Xie looked at the backs of the two little guys and was thinking in his mind.

Iwagakure's kid doesn't seem to have any special abilities. He only relies on detonating clay. Although he can play well, he has little value as a human puppet.

The corpse boy from Kirigakure is awesome.

But the Corpse Bone Pulse is indeed a very powerful blood successor. The child was also well trained. His physical skills are not at the level that a genin should have. He reacts very quickly and is very good at using his own abilities. With the cooperation of the Iwagakure boy, This allowed the two of them to delay until this point.

Of course, the main reason is that Scorpio is unwilling to destroy the material just like that.

He hopes to obtain complete bone vein materials.

Moreover, these two children are really good at sneaking away. It feels like they were being chased in their mother's womb.

[It’s the fourth day, it’s almost there, it’s time to speed up the action. 】

Scorpion thought so.

Sunagakure's Jonin will intercept him sooner or later. After all, he is alone. No matter how familiar he is with this place, it is only a matter of time.

Next, it’s probably the Fourth Kazekage himself.

[Forget it, if it's broken, just break it... It's better than nothing. 】

He decided not to hold back.

Obtain the corpse bone vein material, and then leave.

Fei Liuhu's speed suddenly accelerated, and the sluggishness before like a walking zombie seemed to be just an illusion.

It stirred up more dust and slid on the sand, quickly shortening the distance from Kimimaro.

"He's catching up again." Deidara knew just from the sound that the ugly uncle was catching up again.

While running, he formed a seal with one hand and gave a light drink.

Suddenly, there was an overwhelming explosion from behind.

The air wave pushed from behind, and the two children skillfully used this push to push themselves out.

"Do you still have some clay?" Kimimaro asked.

"It's almost gone. The mine array consumes a lot of clay." Deidara said. He was not nervous. "Don't worry, this route is correct. We are already relatively close to our destination."

"I grabbed the most scrolls." Kimimaro felt the need to remind this temporary teammate, "If the Suna Ninja asks, you have to admit it."

"I know, I know." Deidara felt that Kimimaro was stingy, "Stingy!"

"snort."

Kimimaro secretly thought that he would not have chosen to team up with the other party if he had not stabbed the other party to death with a bone when they met.

This is the secret that Master Mizukage taught him.

Make friends if you poke people who don't kill you.

Although he doesn't know what a friend is.

Anyway, beating others together should be fine.

"Kid, Iwagakure's ninjutsu is pretty good, but unfortunately, he is vulnerable to my art." In mid-air, Scorpio's voice reached the ears of the two of them.

Deidara and Kimimaro, one on the left and the other on the right, pounced on a hungry dog ​​on the spot, and rolled a few more with them.

Where they were just now, Fei Liuhu fell like a meteor, and the soft sand itself became an excellent buffer, catching it steadily.

But the chakra released by the scorpion was too powerful for the two of them, and the air wave it set off was no less than a small explosion, knocking the two of them back again.

Deidara, who rolled one more time, didn't care about this because he heard the incredible words.

A carp jumped up and down, Deidara pointed at Fei Liuhu and said angrily: "Please don't say the word 'art' casually, it becomes vulgar!"

"Huh?" Xie, who was about to take action, felt the child's strong will.

"A brat like you actually has art that you would rather die to protect? Interesting..." Xie's voice became a little deeper, "Don't say I won't give you a chance, tell me, what is your art?"

"Art is explosion!" Deidara's mouth moved faster than his brain, and he naturally said the mantra he often said in front of Ohnoki. When he mentioned explosion, his eyes were shining.

But Scorpio was disappointed.

I thought I had met a very enlightened kid. After all, the kid is just a kid. He has no experience, so he doesn’t know what art is.

After all, no one in this world can compete with him in the palace of art.

Sure enough, the only thing that could accompany him was loneliness.

"Boring, the demolition troops are just barbarians. I actually thought you knew something about art." Fei Liuhu raised his tail, "Art is eternal beauty, and my puppetry is the perfect combination of art and craftsmanship. , Mortals really can’t understand what a great creation my puppetry is.”

"Uncle, you don't understand anything. The beauty of art is the ultimate in that moment. To capture these solid moments of art, only explosions can do it!" He couldn't beat him anyway, but Deidara would never give up his stance on art. So he let out the roar of his soul.

"I see, you have gone astray. I have changed my mind. I will preserve your consciousness and let you experience the true meaning of art."

"Kill if you want! I will never give up my art to you!"

Kimimaro, who was originally in a fighting posture, saw that the young and old actually started chatting, and question marks appeared in his mind.

What are these two people talking about?

What are these two people doing?

Why do I think the more I look at these two, the more I think they are the same person?

Bones sprouted from his body one by one.

So, it made sense that he would eventually live up to the expectations of Mizukage-sama.

Not willing to give in! Master Mizukage needs him so much, but he wants to die here!

but! The time between life and death is the moment to implement your faith to the end!

Kimimaro kicked the ground and rushed towards Deidara.

Deceivers are more hateful than unknown strong men.
