Chapter 37: White Fang Experience Card JPG!
Bang, bang!
Amidst the earth-shaking commotion.
A gigantic Black Bear, as tall as a two-story building, appeared in the Third Squad's line of sight.
The key point was the crimson scroll on its forehead.
The bear couldn't have placed it there itself; someone must have put it there.
As for who placed it, it was obvious.
Only the examiners could have done it.
A token!
Without needing anyone to remind them, they could guess that the scroll was the token for passing the exam.
As long as they took this item to the central tower, they could pass this meat grinder-like dangerous exam.
Note, the second exam was based on a 'team' system.
In other words, each token could allow three people to pass the exam.
And it wasn't restricted to just one team.
This made things interesting.
Because of this, those participating alone or those whose team members had suffered losses might team up or form alliances.
Brilliant!
The rules were truly brilliant.
Such a complex situation could better test intelligence. If there were any brainy candidates (Nara Clan: Please just report my number directly), they could think of ways from this angle.
It must be said, for this joint Chunin Exam, the three great ninja villages really put in a lot of effort.
Not only did they need to make it engaging, but they also had to find ways to test the candidates' abilities in all aspects.
Such a gigantic Black Bear was naturally extremely eye-catching, so people around would definitely gather.
At this moment, the Third Squad had two paths before them.
One was to go all out to snatch the mission scroll, then rush to the tower to submit the task before others surrounded them.
The other path was to wait for an opportunity, letting others get the scroll first and then snatching it from them.
The exam rules didn't have a single word prohibiting candidates from killing and robbing each other.
Or rather, that was the highlight of the exam.
If it were an ordinary beast, any random Genin could handle it.
But for such a large ninja beast, dealing with it wasn't that simple.
It had incredibly strong vitality and also some innate abilities similar to ninjutsu.
"We're going for the token!"
Uchiha Takashi made a decision.
A very simple reason.
Their Third Squad wasn't just any team; they were the 'star team' of Konoha.
With Kakashi, a super genius, there was no way anyone could sneakily take advantage of them. If they didn't get the token now, it would only get harder later.
As for snatching other teams' tokens?
The idea was indeed good, but the prerequisite was having information-gathering abilities.
Their team didn't have any members from the Hyuga, Inuzuka, or Aburame clans, who excelled in intelligence gathering.
Nods *2 Neither Kakashi nor Yamakawa Koji were talkative, so they answered with actions instead.
"I'm pleased with your decisive agreement, but I'm not happy that neither of you called me 'captain'!"
Uchiha Takashi muttered to himself while preparing to reveal a card.
Taiichi!
This summoning beast wasn't a secret, and it was his 'trump card' that he could use with confidence.
"This first token belongs to Sand Ninja!"
A figure leaped onto the giant Black Bear's back.
Maki!
Unexpectedly, he came.
It could only be said that the young Maki hadn't yet been hardened by society, and his personality was completely different from the calm and cautious demeanor he would have in the future.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Uchiha Takashi wouldn't have believed that this 'wild and cool' guy would become the future pillar of Sunagakure.
With him here, for safety's sake, Uchiha Takashi prepared to persuade his two teammates to give up on this token.
After all, there wasn't just one token.
Chapter 37: White Fang Experience Card JPG!
Snap! But Kakashi drew his short sword, showing his resolve. "??"
Uchiha Takashi was puzzled.
He hadn't expected Kakashi to be so brave.
Fortunately, after spending some time together, Kakashi had come to understand Uchiha Takashi's character and changed his mind with just one sentence.
"There are cameras!"
Yes, that was the key.
There are cameras! Which means the big shots in the village are watching.
If they backed down now, technically they wouldn't be breaking any rules, but rumors would surely spread.
At the very least, the Sand Ninja would seize the opportunity to boast, "Is that all Konoha's genius has to offer?", "Sunagakure is the strongest in the ninja world!", "Konoha ninjas only know how to give up on missions!" and so on.
It's important to know that besides the upper echelons of the major ninja villages, the audience also includes nobles and wealthy merchants.
These groups are the main source of mission commissions.
The missions from villagers and ordinary people don't earn much money.
If you don't perform well in front of these 'patrons', it could affect the village's future commissions... the consequences are obvious to those who understand.
The failure of Konoha's White Fang's mission was actually not that significant.
But once this news spread, it would make the patrons think, "If White Fang can abandon a mission, others will surely do the same!"
This kind of thinking caused Konoha's mission commissions to drop significantly at the time.
The impact was huge, and coupled with the betrayal of the savior... and other reasons, to avoid affecting Kakashi's future, White Fang decisively committed suicide to give everyone an explanation.
After crossing over, Uchiha Takashi finally understood these things.
Unlike other transmigrators who only knew it was the Hokage causing trouble and couldn't understand why it succeeded so dramatically.
If it affects the village's interests, who else is to blame but White Fang?
Now, the same scenario was in front of their Team 3.
White Fang Experience Card.JPG! To avoid such treatment, Uchiha Takashi knew they had no way out.
Avoiding the sharp edge might be tactically correct, but the ninja world doesn't care about right or wrong, only interests.
If it affects the village's interests, don't expect to survive in Konoha.
Even the Uchiha might not be able to protect him.
Without protection, with his current strength... it would be hard to survive.
"Get ready to move!"
A fierce determination flashed in Uchiha Takashi's eyes.
He just wanted to lie down and enjoy life, but now he couldn't even do that and was being forced into the spotlight, leaving him no choice.
At this moment, he had a new understanding of the idiom "riding a tiger and unable to dismount."
But despite the pressure, he wouldn't just charge blindly.
"Let's first figure out how to get the token..."
He quickly explained the tactical plan.
"Action begins!"
With that, the three of them charged towards the Black Bear.
As for a sneak attack?
They had just used ninjutsu in battle, making a lot of noise. Unless the enemy was blind, sneaking was impossible, so they might as well charge directly.
At this time, Maki's team also noticed Team 3.
However, they were busy dealing with the enraged Black Bear and had no energy to make the first move.
"The token is sealed on the ninja beast, can't we take it off?"
Maki, dodging attacks, thought to himself.
He initially thought the token would be easy to obtain.
Given a ninja's speed, this clumsy ninja beast shouldn't be able to stop him from taking the token.
But if he could think of it, the examiners surely could too, hence this setup.
Sealing technique! The token was directly sealed on the ninja beast's head, and could only be removed after defeating it.
But this made sense.
Since they reduced the difficulty of finding the token, naturally, they had to increase the difficulty of obtaining it.
At this moment, Team 3, having arrived, launched their attack.
If you like this don't forget to drop some power stones.
