Naruto: Konoha's Kanpu

Chapter 500: The Candidates This Year Are Not Good Enough

Forest of Death.

The second stage has lasted until the fifth day.

Itachi, who was alone, finally arrived near the central tower according to the map.

At this time, he is not far from the central tower. Standing in the treetops, he can even see the spire of the central tower several kilometers away, which is higher than the forest side.

Im finally here.

Itachi heaved a sigh of relief, but the expression on his face remains unchanged.

He tip-toed a little, and quickly jumped between the branches of the forest, but as he jumped and jumped, Itachis brows slowly furrowed.

Why havent I arrived yet?

He looked up suspiciously, and saw that the spire of the central tower was still standing in the dense forest several kilometers away, and it hadn't changed at all from what he saw before!

Have I been walking in place just now?

Itachis heart suddenly jumped: Genjutsu?

He immediately turned on the 2-Tomoe Sharingan and at the same time, disrupted the Chakra flow inside his body, but everything in front of him remained unchanged.

Its not Genjutsu?

Itachi walked forward cautiously. While walking, he stared at the central tower, which was a few kilometers away from the forest, with Sharingan. After a while, he noticed something strange.

The central tower in the distance is actually moving!

When he walked forward slowly, the central tower slowly moved backwards, when he speeded up, the central tower moved backwards faster. In other words, no matter how fast he ran, he would never get close to the central tower!

Itachi bit his thumb and formed hand seals to summon several crows. Unfortunately, the crows fell to the ground soon after flying into the sky and couldnt guide him at all.

No wonder that Brother Gekko didnt use the Earth and Heaven scrolls rule. Itachi stopped, thinking with a solemn expression on his face.

With this moving central tower, there is no way anyone can pass this exam!

However, although the Chunin Exams have become more and more difficult over the years, they will not eliminate everyone. There must be a weak spot in this matter.

Itachi pondered for a while. He no longer moved forward, but started to retreat.

Then, something strange happened. The central tower actually followed behind him, keeping a certain distance from him all the time!

Like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey, the donkey can see it but can never eat it! Itachi fell into deep thought, after a while, his eyes gradually shine: There is only one central tower, but there is more than one candidate. Even if Borther Gekko can move the central tower, it is impossible to clone the central tower!

Therefore, this moving central tower can never be a real central tower, it can only be a Genjutsu!

If I keep staring at that central tower and move forward, I will never be able to reach the real central tower forever!

Unfortunately, I couldnt break Borther Gekkos Genjutsu!

What should I do?

Itachi sat on the branch and began to think seriously about how to break the situation.

At the same time, the eight exam candidates from the other teams also rushed here one after another, and they experienced the same torment as Itachi.

Damn, why does this central tower keep moving?

Last year, we all reached the central tower. That tower weighs over 10,000 tons and might be easy to destroy, but it is absolutely impossible to keep it moving back and forth, left and right, at the same speed as us!

So, are we under Genjutsu?

You may not believe me, but why does it feel that my Chakra has been depleted?

Idiot, its because we have been moving at a high speed.

Among the eight candidates, there is one Genin who is good at Earth Release. Hes trying to reach the central tower from the ground, but unfortunately, just as he got into the ground, he suddenly got out in the next second.

There are strange things in the ground. He discovered that after going into the ground, his Chakra consumption suddenly increased tenfold. At this rate of consumption, it only takes five or six seconds for him to be squeezed dry!

When the eight candidates are unable to do anything, the examiners, who had been following them, all had ghostly expressions on their faces, but they were very professional, so even if they are shocked, they hid themselves very well and followed these candidates silently from behind.

On the sixth day, Itachi finally found the correct way to reach the central tower.

He started to retreat, following the traces of his previous approach, and retreated for more than ten kilometers. He didn't stop until the central tower higher than the forest disappeared from his sight.

Itachi chuckled when he saw this, It is indeed so, no matter how powerful Brother Gekkos Genjutsu is, its coverage area is limited.

He took a step forward, and the spire of the central tower appeared in his sight, and when he took a step back, the spire disappeared.

Therefore, the area ahead is covered by Brother Gekkos Genjutsu.

As long as I find a way to avoid the influence of Genjutsu, I can reach the real central tower.

Itachi first took out the map, carefully confirmed his current location and the direction of the real central tower, then took out a piece of cloth to cover his eyes, and then, he moved towards the central tower slowly. He tripped over branches from time to time, fell into the mud, hit the trees from time to time, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, encountered wild beast attacks from time to time, and even the Chakra inside his body was exhausted by several times faster. He had to stop and refine Chakra every half an hour, otherwise, he wont be able to deal with wild beasts that may appear at any time.

But no matter what kind of crisis he encountered, Itachi never took a step back, and he never took off the cloth strips on his eyes. In the darkness, he took his steps firmly step by step.

Time passed.

The seventh day.

Kanp, who is sitting at the top of the central tower, has used the Multi Shadow Clone Technique to fill the Chakra in all five hundred crystals.

After finishing the sacrifice, Kanp looked up at the sky. It was almost 12 oclock, so he waved his hand to call an examiner and asked: How many people have passed the assessment now?

Gekko-sama, no one has reached to central tower so far, said the examiner.

No one?!

Kanp was shocked. 12 oclock is the deadline for this stage. After that time, the exam is over!

How come none of them passed?

Facing the resentful expression of the examiner, Kanp coughed dryly, and calmly said: I just set up a simple Genjutsu near the central tower, but I didnt expect them Hey, , it's not that my assessment is too difficult, but that the candidates this year are not good enough.

Kanp shook his head with a melancholy expression, wondering whether to call Tagorihime back to give this year's candidates a chance.

The examiner opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words when it reached his lips. I am just a little Chunin without a backer, so it's better not to provoke this lord.

At this moment, a figure with cloth strips tied on his eyes, a bruised nose, a ragged body, and bloodied arms slowly walked out of the forest step by step.

When Kanp saw it, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth. At this time, he wanted to say, As expected of Itachi!

At the same time, he also put the idea of make concessions directly behind him.

Kanp waved his hand, and the examiner beside him immediately jumped off the building and came to Itachi.

Congratulations, you have passed the Chunin Exams second stage. You can take off your blindfold. The examiner said expressionlessly.

Itachi put down his guard and slowly took off the cloth strips. The warm sunlight was a bit dazzling, so Itachi squinted his eyes. Looking at the examiner in front of him and the central tower behind the examiner, the corners of his mouth showed a smile: I pass!
