This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 306 High-Level Report

Inside the Konoha Dome, the audience's attention was firmly drawn to the various exciting or comical scenes on the big screen.

Nishikawa Tetsu's commentary skillfully guided the atmosphere of the entire venue.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's turn our attention deeper into the Forest of Death!"

The image on the second large screen flashed, and the originally lush green forest was replaced by a depressing purplish-gray.

"Here we see a very calm and purposeful team: Mei Terumi from Kirigakure, and her teammate An Hozuki."

"Instead of rushing to find prey or confronting mechanical golems head-on like most other teams, they chose a different path."

On the screen, Mei Terumi and Yasushi Hozuki are standing at the edge of an area shrouded in thick purple mist.

The trees here are withered and yellow, and there is not even a trace of insects or small wild animals on the ground.

The purple mist, as if alive, slowly swirled among the tree trunks, emitting a pungent, sweet smell.

"Lady Terumi Mei, this...this fog looks poisonous."

Hozuki An hid behind Terumi Mei, her voice trembling slightly.

She instinctively wanted to back away; the cloying sweetness made her feel dizzy.

Mei Terumi did not answer immediately. She extended a slender white finger, a thin layer of water-style chakra gathering at the tip, and carefully probed the edge of the purple mist.

"Sizzle—"

The moment they made contact, the water-style chakra at their fingertips emitted a slight corrosive sound and its color became somewhat murky.

"It is a very strong neurotoxin and is also corrosive."

Mei Terumi withdrew her finger, shaking off the layer of tainted chakra. Her right eye narrowed slightly, but a hint of excitement flickered in her eyes.

"The examiner said at the opening ceremony that Konoha used environmental regulation technology to randomly create dynamic obstacles such as the spread of poisonous fog in certain areas."

Mei Terumi turned to look at An Hozuki, her tone resolute: "Do you think Konoha went to such great lengths to create this area that ordinary people wouldn't dare to easily set foot in, just to create obstacles for us?"

Hozuki An paused for a moment, then shook her head hesitantly: "Could it be... to protect something?"

"That's right."

Terumi Mei nodded.

"High risk means high reward. Since the examiner mentioned hidden supply points and specific locations, these places are definitely not just randomly placed on the main road for us to pick up."

"This man-made extreme environment is the best natural barrier to hide treasure. What we're looking for must be at the heart of this toxic fog!"

"But..." Hozuki An swallowed hard, looking at the churning purple mist. "We don't have gas masks, and such a large area of ​​poisonous mist can't be dispersed even with wind-style techniques. If we inhale too much, we'll not only lose our fighting ability, but we could even be in mortal danger."

"Who said we need gas masks?"

Mei Terumi quickly formed hand seals, and a unique chakra fluctuation brewed within her body.

"Since it's poisonous fog, let's neutralize it with an even more potent fog!"

"Boiling Release: Skillful Mist Technique!"

Mei Terumi opened her red lips, and a white, acidic mist emanating terrifying heat gushed out.

The white, ethereal mist and the purple, poisonous mist collided violently in mid-air.

"Sizzle-sizzle—"

A sickeningly loud dissolving sound rang out. Using its extremely high temperature and strong acidity, the mist forcefully corroded and dissolved a safe passage about two meters wide within the purple, poisonous fog.

"Stay close to me and maintain the hydration technique to prevent residual toxins from seeping into your skin!"

Mei Terumi took the lead and stepped into the passage she had created.

"Yes!" Hozuki An took a deep breath, and a transparent water film instantly appeared on his body as he followed closely behind Terumi Mei.

……

On the Konoha Dome commentary stage.

Nishikawa Tetsu watched Terumi Mei's actions on the screen, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Brilliant judgment! Perfect response!"

Nishikawa Toru, holding the microphone, spared no praise:

"Mei Terumi has demonstrated exceptional intelligence analysis skills and decisive execution. She accurately deduced the examiner's intentions. This nerve gas, specially formulated by the Konoha Science Research Institute, is one of the specific locations where high-level supply crates are hidden!"

"Furthermore, she utilized the characteristics of her bloodline limit to fight poison with poison, forcibly carving out a path to survival. This combat wisdom of combining ninjutsu with the environment is precisely the core quality we need to assess in the Chunin Exams!"

VIP seating.

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, looked at the calm and decisive girl on the screen, and finally a genuine smile appeared on his baby face—the first one since the start of the exams.

"He truly deserves the promising talent I've been eyeing."

Yagura picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and glanced at the Fourth Raikage A and the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, whose faces were still somewhat gloomy. His tone was tinged with pride.

"We, the ninjas of Kirigakure, are not just reckless brutes who only know how to fight. Finding a way to survive in a harsh environment is our specialty."

Onoki snorted coldly and said nothing.

Ai stared at the figure moving through the poisonous fog on the screen and frowned: "This person's bloodline limit is interesting. If she grows up, she will be a problem for Yunyin."

Grandma Chiyo just wanted to see her grandson a few more times.

……

Deep within the Dead Forest, in the area of ​​poisonous fog.

"Huff... huff..."

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Mei Terumi's forehead.

Although Boil Release can dissolve poisonous mist, continuously releasing such a high-intensity bloodline limit consumes a great deal of chakra.

In addition, the area of ​​poisonous fog was much wider than she had imagined, and the surrounding purple fog was constantly squeezing and filling the passage.

"Lady Terumi Mei, can you still hold on?" Hozuki An looked worriedly at the swaying figure in front of her.

"Don't worry, watch your step!"

Mei Terumi gritted her teeth and increased her chakra output again, dissolving the approaching purple mist.

"Hiss—"

Suddenly, a chilling sound came from the purple mist on both sides.

"Something's coming!" Hozuki Ann exclaimed.

Before the words were finished, several giant pythons, as thick as buckets and purplish-black in color, suddenly sprang out from the poisonous mist, opened their blood-red mouths, and bit at the two of them.

These venomous pythons have lived in this artificial poisonous fog for a long time, and have not only become immune to the toxins, but even their scales have mutated, shimmering with a metallic luster.

"Water Gun Technique!"

Hozuki An reacted extremely quickly, making a gun-like gesture with his hands and firing two high-pressure water bullets from his fingertips, which accurately hit the eyes of the two venomous pythons.

"hiss!"

The venomous python, in pain, writhed wildly, further disrupting the surrounding poisonous mist.

"Don't get entangled with them! We can't afford to waste our chakra!"

A cold glint flashed in Mei Terumi's eyes as she formed a hand seal.

"Lava Release: Melting Monster Technique!"

She sprayed out a ball of viscous, highly corrosive acid, which exploded in mid-air and rained down on the remaining venomous pythons.

"Sizzle—"

The acid instantly corroded the python's hard scales, and even its flesh emitted a pungent, burnt smell. The python screamed and retreated into the depths of the purple mist.

"Hurry! The center is just ahead!"

Mei Terumi seized the opportunity to pull up An Hozuki, unleashing her final burst of speed to break through the last barrier of poisonous mist.

"thump."

The moment the two emerged from the poisonous fog, their legs gave way, and they collapsed into a relatively open, safe zone free from the purple fog.

This is the "eye" of the toxic fog. Although the air is still stuffy, at least the toxins are gone.

"Cough cough... I survived..." Hozuki An released the water transformation technique, panting heavily, his face as pale as paper.

Mei Terumi was also drenched in sweat, but her gaze was fixed on a stone platform in the very center of the safe zone.

There, a black metal treasure chest sat quietly.

The treasure chest was engraved with the logo of the Konoha Science Research Institute, and there was also an electronic screen emitting a faint glow next to it.

"Found it!"

Mei Terumi struggled to her feet, her eyes gleaming with ecstasy.

She walked to the stone platform, carefully examined the treasure chest, and after confirming that there were no traps, she reached out and placed the bracelet on the groove at the bottom of the treasure chest.

"Beep—Identity verified, Kirigakure genin, Mei Terumi."

A cold, electronic voice sounded, and the lid of the treasure chest popped open with a "click".

Three black identification bracelets were neatly arranged inside.

One character for "sky", one character for "earth", and one character for "person".

Not only that, next to the bracelet were two light green potions and a card that read "Congratulations on clearing the level".

"Three bracelets with different attributes..."

Hozuki An leaned closer, looked at the contents of the box, and covered her mouth in shock.

"This...this means we've already met the requirements for one person to clear the game?!"

Mei Terumi picked up the three bracelets and smiled.

"Not only that."

She looked at the points on her bracelet, and an electronic voice sounded in her ear at just the right moment.

"Ding—Congratulations, candidate! You have discovered a high-level hidden supply point. You are awarded 1,000 points."

The score, which was originally a pitiful single digit, suddenly soared to 1005 points.

However, they didn't know what the points were for, but they were certain that the more points they had, the better.

"High risk, high reward."

Mei Terumi handed one of the two antidotes to An Hozuki, then tilted her head back and drank the other herself. As she felt her chakra gradually returning and the fatigue from the toxins subsiding, her eyes became incredibly sharp.

"Next..."

Mei Terumi glanced at the towering structure that was faintly visible in the center of the forest.

"We just need to get one more bracelet to successfully complete the game."
