Naruto - The Wind Calamity

Chapter 84 : Record & Reward

Yumi quickly analyzed, "All three of them retreated when Rentaro's squad got in range. And they only sent a clone to check us out. But, how did they get away so quickly? My eyes can look at chakras up to 520 meters!"

Rentaro said, "If they escaped, it means that they were afraid of us."

Yumi shook her head and said, "They have a Hyuga. His range should be greater than mine. I suspect that the guy we were fighting is a sensor too. And all 3 of them are experts at flickering. So they can continuously ambush us for the next 5 days. The worst will be if they ambush us when we are fighting. We will be at a huge disadvantage!"

The expressions of the Kiri genins became grim. It was never a good feeling to be hunted. Especially considering how relentless their opponents were.

Yumi looked at Rentaro and said, "Let's team up. Otherwise, we may be attacked one by one by them."

Rentaro unwillingly agreed, "Alright. But who gets the scroll?"

Yumi asked, "Which scroll do you guys have?"

He replied, "Earth scroll."

Yumi said, "We have a Heaven scroll. If we find a Heaven scroll, you guys take it. If we find an Earth scroll, we will take it. If we don't manage to get any, then you can take our Heaven scroll and advance to the 3rd round."

On hearing that, Satoru and Kohaku complained. But Yumi said, "If Rentaro's squad didn't appear, then we may have died to that Leaf squad. So we owe them one."

Rentaro's squad agreed to that condition, and they began treating their wounds. Once healed, they moved together until they found the required scrolls. The entire time they were in the Forest of Death, they were highly alert to any ambushes. But they were never attacked by Fujin's team. After all, they had already passed the exam even before Fujin's clones fought against the six of them!

Tower -

Inside the tower, Fujin, Mieko, and Hoka had opened both scrolls. It summoned Adachi Genki. He was quite happy to see Fujin and Hoka. And was shocked at how quickly the exam was cleared!

He said, "Fujin, Hoka, good to see you two again. Mieko as well. I didn't expect you guys would take the chunin exams so soon. But how did you manage to clear the exam so quickly? It hasn't even been an hour."

Mieko looked begrudgingly at Fujin and said, "We shouldn't have finished it so quickly!"

Fujin shrugged once again and said, "We came across a team that had the scroll we needed and beat them easily. They handed over their scroll quickly and we moved towards the tower. We did fight a Kiri team afterwards, but they escaped and we entered the tower."

Genki was surprised. He asked, "That much in less than an hour?" All 3 nodded as none of them felt it was difficult.

Genki sighed seeing how none of them thought it was a challenge. He said, "Well, congratulations then. The previous record was 5 hours 30 minutes. It was made by Uchiha Itachi . You guys broke his record by a huge difference."

That surprised Mieko and Hoka. Fujin too acted surprised. Mieko quickly exclaimed, "We beat Itachi's record?? Really?" She was super excited. "And that too by more than 4 and half hours?" Fujin wondered, 'I never saw her talk about Itachi, but she is so excited about beating his record? Is she trying to compete with him? Poor girl.'

Fujin chuckled and teased her, "If you had listened to me, we would have broken it by over 5 hours. But you still insisted on wasting time."
This made her give Fujin the stink eye. She was still annoyed at how he brought her to the tower. She unwillingly admitted, "If I knew that the record was held by Itachi, I would have agreed."
