Chapter 71: Forest of Death
The pain in his body gradually disappeared.
Naruto plopped down, not caring about his image, and casually wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
In fact, he was drenched in sweat everywhere, but he wanted to check the Shadow Clone's memories first.
Half an hour passed.
[I hope readers remember our domain Taiwan Novel Website for a better reading experience. It's easy to read.]
After watching the flashback-like scenes, Narutocould only describe his current mood with one sentence.
"You're so flamboyant!"
The earlier memories were relatively normal.
He relied on snatching business in the black market, got into a conflict with Kakuzu, and eventually caught Konan's attention.
As the HR of the Akatsuki Organization, Konanrecognized the Shadow Clone's strength and invited him to join.
Joining the Akatsuki Organization wasn't actually difficult.
Because Nagato, Obito, and others all possessed absolute strength and confidence.
They could suppress anyone.
But quitting was impossible.
The Akatsuki Organization practiced a 007 work system, working until death, toiling until death.
Only death could lead to withdrawal.
Forcibly withdrawing would result in being hunted down by all members of the Akatsuki Organization.
The Shadow Clone took the alias The Fool and became Orochimaru's teammate.
Due to some advanced medical and biological concepts, their relationship was quite good.
During this time, he also tipped off the Ripple Merchant Guild, allowing them to escape a disaster.
After all, Obito had suffered a great loss at the hands of the Tianming Organization.
During one mission to the Land of Waves, he had a heart-to-heart talk with Zabuza, persuaded him to join Tianming, and establish a shipping company.
It wasn't until Orochimaru saw Uchiha Itachi and attacked, only to be utterly defeated.
The Fool began his flamboyant operations.
The final result was thoroughly enraging Uchiha Itachi, being hunted for two months, and dying by his Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Susanoo, and sword of totsuka.♦♦ ♦♦
Naruto took a shower, changed his clothes, lay on the bed, and pondered the remaining value of The Fool.
Orochimaru is in Konoha.
Perhaps he could make Sasuke awaken his Sharingan.
Even as the main body, he found this operation too outrageous.
Sasuke would be even less likely to accept it.
Naruto planned to use The Fool's alias to stir up some trouble.
Coming back to his senses, he looked at the achievement rewards again.
He knew before that active achievement rewards would be plentiful, but he didn't expect them to be so rich.
This was equivalent to several passive achievements.
And there was also a Lucky Buff.
In other words, within seven days, no matter what he did, his wishes would come true.
Of course, anything too excessive wouldn't work.
Isn't this the best time for gacha draws?
After adding the attribute points to defense, Naruto activated a normal gacha draw.
He hadn't decided on a targeted draw yet.
Anyway, he had seven days, no need to rush.
[Drawing... Congratulations, host, you have received a Character Card.]
As expected of Lucky EX.
Naruto also understood the system's gacha rules.
Aside from the gold, silver, and bronze tiers, Character Cards were clearly rarer than item cards.
The Character Cards he had obtained so far were quite abnormal.
Naruto took a deep breath and flipped open the golden card.
[Character Card: Shirou Emiya (Human State)]
[Description: Permanent special Character Card, prototype from "Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya." When equipped, two random abilities of Shirou Emiya will be acquired. The specific power is determined by the wielder's Chakra.]
[Note: Due to the special nature of this Character Card, a compatibility of 60% must be reached to equip it.]
[Currently, the host's compatibility is 7%, making it impossible to equip. It can be transferred to others to receive corresponding compensation rewards.]
"Huh? Why only 7%? Is it because I don't have a younger sister?"
Naruto's smile froze, and he couldn't help but complain.
After the last Magical Girl Character Card, he roughly guessed the compatibility requirements.
Personality and experiences.
The more similar, the higher.
And Shirou Emiya's performance in Prisma Illya can be summarized in one sentence: for his younger sister Miyu, he was willing to stand against the world.
Neji?
Naruto immediately thought of his Brother-in-law.
People with sisters are amazing!
Forget it, this'sister' is his future wife anyway.
Investing in his Brother-in-law isn't a loss.
Moreover, Shirou Emiya's abilities are quite suitable for Neji, who possesses the Byakugan.
Both long-range and close-range combat.
But unfortunately, he can only get two random abilities.
This is different from the Magical Girl card.
The only explanation is that the Character Cardinherently had such a setting.
After all, some powerful figures are truly terrifying.
The system probably wouldn't dare to meddle with their karma.
Naruto suddenly thought of something.
Shirou Emiya's sister, Miyu, is also a Magical Girl.
After some reasoning, is Neji also Sasuke's brother?
Forget it, if he keeps going, Uchiha Itachi's primary target won't be Sasuke, but himself.
Killing him wouldn't be enough to vent his anger.
Oh no, his Shadow Clone had already tried once.
He indeed died a particularly miserable death.
"After Neji gains Shirou Emiya's abilities, Hinataprobably won't be able to beat him."
Naruto stroked his chin.
The two would have a one-on-one PK in the Chunin Exams.
He naturally hoped Hinata would win.
But even with his influence, Hinata always believed she was inferior to Neji.
To build her confidence, defeating Neji would undoubtedly be the best way.
He would see tomorrow.
Naruto closed his eyes and went to sleep.
The next day, he rushed to the second exam location, Training Ground 44, also known as the Forest of Death.
Since he arrived quite early, it hadn't started yet.
Naruto quickly spotted Neji.
[Detecting: Current target, Hyuga Neji's compatibility is 90%.]
Is the missing 10% because Hinata isn't his biological sister?
Speaking of which, he thought Uchiha Itachi's compatibility might reach 100%.
Naruto ran up to him, patted his shoulder, and said, "Morning."
Neji nodded in response, unaware that a certain card had merged into his body.
He just didn't know how the system would perfectly inform him.
Was it another dream?
While Naruto was thinking, the system's prompt sounded.
[Character Card Shirou Emiya has been lost. The host has received a supplementary reward: one item card.]
[item card: Scabbard of Avalon.]
[Description: One-time passive item card. Aside from natural death, it triggers when the host is on the verge of death, restoring all injuries.]
Good stuff.
Naruto's eyes lit up.
Although his chances of clearing Naruto with one life were quite high, who wouldn't like an extra life?
Naruto chatted with Tenten and Rock Lee for a few more moments.
Rock Lee was completely unaffected by yesterday's defeat, still full of fighting spirit.
Soon, the chief examiner, Anko, arrived.
Naruto returned to Sasuke and Sakura's side.
"Each squad will receive either a Heaven or Earth scroll. Only those who collect both Heaven and Earth scrolls and reach the tower will be considered to have passed..."
After Anko finished explaining the rules, she had everyone sign a death pledge.
Naruto didn't listen carefully; he was looking for Orochimaru.
At this time, he should have used the Face Stealing Jutsu to take the face of a certain examinee.
But Naruto found nothing.
He wasn't in a hurry either.
With Sasuke in hand, he had the world.
Orochimaru would definitely take the bait.
"It's a Heaven scroll."
Sasuke took the scroll, glanced at it, and said indifferently, "We just need to find a team and take them out."
In his opinion, the Chunin Exams were just a formality.
Naruto glanced at him.
Tsk, hope you can maintain that confidence later.
After all, a certain Genin was about to catch you and give you a dangerous snake kiss.
This is where that Fei Yuqing joke should be.
"Let's go."
Naruto entered the Forest of Death.
He was a regular here and quite familiar with the paths.
Five days of wilderness survival was naturally not a problem.
As for the other teams, whoever encountered them was out of luck.
