Chapter 92 Might Guy's Trap
In front of the central tower, there is a tower-shaped building located in the central area of the Death Forest.
At the entrance to the tower, there are temporary high walls on both sides, forming a triangular area with the central tower. In front of the tower, there is a wide and flat area within a hundred meters.
At the entrance of the central tower, there is a clear red line. Behind the red line, the squad of ninjas who set up traps either leaned against the entrance or leaned out of the second-floor windows, observing the open space in front of the central tower.
That was a trap they set.
Because they were delayed by the animals, the Shingetsu Seiun team was not the first to arrive at the central tower. When Shingetsu Seiun and his two companions, along with a shadow clone, arrived in front of the central tower, a number of genin had already gathered a hundred meters away in the open space.
"What are you all still looking at?"
"If we don't come soon, the sun will set."
"That's right, hurry up and come over. You're too cowardly to be a Chunin."
Inside the central tower, the genin who had set the trap were exchanging provocative words. A hundred meters away from the central tower, the genin, though their faces showed anger, did not dare to actually go forward.
Without a doubt, there are definitely traps everywhere in front of the tower. Whoever rushes in first will suffer the most.
More than one person thought this way, so more and more genin gathered in front of the central tower, but none of them were willing to take the first step.
"What should we do? Should we charge ahead?" Sarutobi Asuma looked around and then said to Kurenai Yuhi and Seiun Kamitsuki.
Kurenai looked worried: "Wasn't that too impulsive?"
The two looked at Shenyue Xingyun. Now they were certain that the strongest person in their team was still the other.
Facing their gazes, Shingetsu Seiun pondered for a moment before saying, "I think Asuma is right."
Sarutobi Asuma clenched his fist triumphantly. Kurenai Yuhi asked, "And the reason?"
Shenyue Xingyun said, "This is an exam."
"The exam is to test the ninja's abilities."
"Waiting is certainly a safe option, but it also means missing opportunities."
"If someone truly blazes a trail, and others follow that path into the central tower, do you think the chances of them becoming Chunin are high?"
Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
Yes.
Caution is important, but can a ninja be considered excellent if he lacks courage and decisiveness?
The Konoha leadership is unlikely to allow a team that gets a cheap advantage to achieve a high score and be promoted to Chunin.
Seeing that the two agreed, Shenyue Xingyun then turned her gaze to the open space in front of the central tower, pondering how to try.
If it weren't for the system missions, he wouldn't care whether he passed the Chunin Exams or not. But now, he had to make sure he passed without a doubt. Only by demonstrating abilities and strengths that surpassed others would his chances of promotion be high.
While he was pondering, Sarutobi Asuma, who was standing to the side, couldn't wait any longer.
"Nebula, you and Red should think of another way."
"I'll be the first to scout ahead."
"Shuaima No. 2, go!"
Beside him, Asuma Sarutobi's shadow clone stepped forward and began to move toward the open space ahead.
He had been on high alert and was being as careful as possible, but he hadn't gone very far.
With a muffled thud, a burst of fire suddenly erupted from the ground, followed by a dense barrage of shuriken aimed at the area where the shadow clone was located.
Sarutobi Asuma's shadow clone leaped away, dodging the first wave of attacks, and then exploded in the second wave of shuriken rain.
"Hiss~" The genin watching gasped.
"Who set this up?"
"That's too cruel!"
"Then shall we fight like the Hidden Cloud Village?"
On the central tower, many genin turned around and looked at the somewhat bewildered Morino Ibiki.
The latter waved his hand nervously.
"I—I didn't mean to."
After saying it, he realized it was too outrageous, and scratched his head, his face flushed: "I'm...sorry. I did it on purpose."
"I was too excited at the time, everyone be careful."
Everyone turned around.
Looking at the open space a hundred meters in front of the central tower, they were all filled with trepidation and dared not go forward.
Just then, a green figure suddenly darted out of a second-floor window of the central tower.
"Yo!~"
"Nebula, you've arrived too."
Might Guy waved to the Divine Moon Nebula in front of the Central Tower.
"Go Nebula!"
"A young person's youth doesn't stop here!"
Shenyue Xingyun saw the other party and sighed helplessly.
He responded, "Kai!"
"Don't worry, I'll pass!"
Might Guy's face lit up with excitement: "Nebula, words alone aren't enough."
"I put a lot of thought into preparing a very clever trap."
"I hope you're lucky and don't fall into my trap!"
Upon hearing this, Shenyue Xingyun turned her gaze to the area in front of the central tower, searching inch by inch.
Open space, wall, trees behind the wall —
A moment later, he saw a distinct light on one of the bricks of the wall.
It looks like a metal wire.
In the blink of an eye, a shuriken landed in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, the shuriken shot out like lightning, striking the gleaming silk thread directly.
"Boom!~"
"Whoosh!!! ~ Boom boom boom!" In an instant, a series of cracking and wind-breaking sounds rang out. As dozens of shuriken struck the wall, Shingetsu Nebula looked up at Might Guy.
"Kai".
"Was this most obvious trap set by you?"
A burst of laughter suddenly erupted from the central tower.
At the second-floor window, Matt Kai's smile suddenly froze on his face. Then, without a word, he walked away from the window and disappeared somewhere to heal his wounds.
Shenyue Xingyun smiled and shook his head, then reconsidered how to pass the test.
The open space in front of the central tower is nearly a hundred meters wide, and the fastest way to get there is by flying. However, flying summoning beasts are extremely rare, and genin (lower-ranking ninjas) have virtually no chance of possessing one.
If we don't fly, can we cross over by air?
I thought about it and it still didn't work.
If steel cables were used, aside from the question of whether there would be a suitable location to secure them on the central tower, their location was flat ground, making it impossible to suspend steel cables at a high altitude. Furthermore, the steel wire they held simply wouldn't have the strength to maintain a straight line for 100 meters.
Digging tunnels? That takes too long, is too inefficient, and the chances of falling into traps are high. Using shadow clones to scout ahead consumes too much chakra.
The destruction of ninjutsu is only possible if all the ninjas line up and use their chakra and ninjutsu together.
The God Moon Nebula's Great Fireball is fine, but it's unusable.
Firstly, he couldn't explain why his Fireball Jutsu was so big; secondly—he was afraid that if he launched a fireball, the trap would be gone, and the Central Tower and the Konoha genin would also be gone.
"Make way!"
"Everyone, get out of the way!"
A loud voice rang out from behind the crowd.
With a rumbling sound, everyone looked over and saw a round stone, about the height of a person, slowly rolling forward.
The ground trembled slightly.
The round stone rolled forward and, when it reached the group's location, revealed Uchiha Obito behind them.
The latter rolled up his sleeves, his face covered in sweat, but he still couldn't hide his smugness.
