Chapter 355 Assessment
Early in the morning, there were people moving around the tree house. Today was the day for the archery unit assessment, so Tsunade, the Hokage, came to check the quality. In order to shut up Youyou, Tsunade invited many ninja clan heads and many free middle and upper ninja to participate.
As for the archery corps which were the target of the assessment, the atmosphere was serious at this time: "Everyone, you have been training for so long, it's time to check your quality. Show your skills and display your best side. Lord Hokage and the heads of the families are watching, and the elders and clan leaders of our Hyuga family are watching too." Neji was the referee of this assessment, but as a member of the Hyuga family, he still hoped that his clansmen could perform well.
"Think about those who laughed at you when you came here, and the pressure your clan leader had to endure in order to get this opportunity. Now use your actions to tell your clan leader, your parents, your future children and grandchildren, Konoha's companions, and unknown enemies. From today on, announce to everyone that the Hyuga not only have gentle fists, but also deadly bows and arrows."
"The name of Hyuga, because of you, once again resounds throughout the ninja world."
Neji's encouragement is like a mother comforting a woman, not inflammatory at all, so it's still up to Kazama to do it. What men need is a goal, hope, glory, and reputation. You have to mobilize their emotions and make them believe that the world has become different because of them, that's the way it should be.
"Roar" all the members of the archery unit blushed, their eyes changed from nervousness and fear to firmness and decisiveness, they were just about to sacrifice themselves to achieve their own heroic names.
"Hokage, heads of all families, the assessment can now begin." After Kazama finished inciting, he returned to Tsunade.
"Kazama Chunin, what you just said is very inflammatory. Aren't you afraid that they will act too radically?" This is a powerful head of the Hyuga family. Several opposing elders are now under house arrest by Hiashi. Those who can come here are at least those who do not oppose Hiashi on the surface. Accustomed to the conservatism and stability of the head family, Kazama's inflammatory words made this head of the family very worried. However, he could not stop it, so he chose to ask directly in public, firstly to explain that this was not the intention of the Hyuga family, but the instigation of Kazama. Secondly, he also hoped that Kazama could explain it. If there is really a problem, they, the Hyuga head family, may be able to pass the blame.
"A new ninja form has appeared. No one knows whether it will be good or bad when facing battles in the future. If there is a problem, we must find it and solve it instead of hiding it."
"That's right. I asked all the clan leaders and senior ninjas to come here because I want everyone to see whether the archery unit has its advantages. If so, whether it should be included in the regular ninja organization of Konoha, whether it should become a training route for regular ninjas, whether there are higher possibilities to be tapped, etc. These are all issues that need to be considered." Tsunade took over Kazama's words and stood up for Kazama.
"Since the Hokage said so, there is no problem with the Hyuga family." The head of the family who asked the question just now shut up decisively.
"The assessment is divided into three parts. The first part is to hunt marked beasts in the Death Forest. Remember, use the methods you have learned. The time is before noon." Feng Jian thought about this assessment for a long time. The emergence of a new combat mode is one thing. Demonstrating lethality is one thing, and also has to show its practicality. Let the audience see how the attack method is first.
"Hi" xx.
A hunt of several hundred people still looked very intimidating. Once everyone entered the impenetrable jungle.
The talent in the stands came alive.
"Kazama, hundreds of ninjas are hunting together. Isn't this test a bit too easy?" Tsunade asked the question in her mind first. Hunting is nothing compared to the battle between ninjas.
"Do wild beasts, or beasts in the Death Forest, have the strength to fight against ninjas?" Kazama did not answer directly but chose to ask back.
"Of course there are. Even a senior Chunin wouldn't dare to say that he is unscathed in the Forest of Death." The head of the Inuzuka family, Inuzuka Kiba's mother, who often trains in the Forest of Death, spoke.
"Secondly, do the beasts have stronger instincts than the ninjas?"
"Of course, although the upper limit of a ninja is definitely higher than that of these beasts, the beasts who have lived in the jungle since childhood have a very keen sense of danger, and running away and hiding are their first instincts."
"So, the first part of their assessment is actually to test their stealth and reconnaissance skills. Without using the Byakugan, they need to find the prey, snipe the prey and escape before Lei Wu finds them. This is the most basic combat mode for archers."
"You can't use the Byakugan?" Everyone was stunned. The quickest one realized, "I see. This is what it means to use the method you learned."
"Indeed, without the assistance of the Byakugan, it would be much more difficult for them to find prey." The Hyuga clan leader nodded.
"But they are ninjas themselves, so it shouldn't be difficult for them to deal with ordinary beasts." Someone raised the question.
"You idiot, I just told you to use the methods you learned, that is, to use the bow and arrow, not the soft fist or other ninjutsu. Also, didn't you see that those who went in were all children? The oldest one is not even an adult yet. Do you think they are old-timers like you? To put it simply, they are just a group of ordinary people with bows and arrows and good physical strength."
"Why use ninjas when it's better to just train archers from ordinary people?" Someone's thinking was very sharp.
"It's the upper limit. For ordinary people who are proficient in using bows and arrows, the upper limit is just a qualified hunter who can deal with ordinary wild beasts. For ninjas, who learn bows and arrows, the upper limit is much higher, after all, they have the assistance of chakra. After all, bows and arrows are just a kind of long-range weapon, just like the kunai and shuriken used by ninjas. It's just that the bow and arrow, an abandoned weapon, is picked up again. Because of its long-range attribute, this weapon has more initiative in battle." People kept asking questions and answering them.
As the questions and answers came, the characteristics of the archers gradually became known and understood. And this was exactly the purpose of inviting so many people to this assessment.
"Look, someone is coming out." The Hyuga clan leader, who was observing with his Byakugan, spoke up.
Sure enough, a figure flashed out of the forest, holding a bird in his hand.
"Reporting to Lord Hokage, Hyuga Maruichi has completed the test." Hyuga Neji stepped forward to check the prey and announced the result.
As time went by, more and more people left the forest. And the number of marked prey in the forest also decreased. The difficulty of searching increased.
"This is the second point of the first part of the assessment, concentration. Archery is a test of concentration and observation. When a flock of birds flies by, you must scan the flock to see if there is a target and whether you can hit it. This split-second reaction is a test of the archer's concentration. Some people shoot decisively, while others lose their target after a moment's hesitation. They can only wait for the next time, but there is often only one chance."
