Chapter 772: Making Friends Out of Nothing
Outside the examination room.
Scorpion and Kakuzu were also confused.
Seeing the sandstorm covering the sky in the distance, you can't even fly over it, let alone walk over it.
Kakuzu asked uncertainly:
"Do you usually live like this in the Sand Village?"
Scorpion shook his head slowly: "No, this kind of large-scale sandstorm only occurs in the Demon Desert."
"Even in the Demon Desert, sandstorms of this scale are rare."
"Before such a sandstorm forms, there should be people from the Sand Village to intervene."
"This time it's obviously an exam, and there is such a big sandstorm."
"It's possible that someone else intervened."
Kakuzu didn't expect such a big change:
"Is the opponent's target also a Jinchūriki?"
Scorpion hesitated and said: "Not sure, but it's useless to say that now."
"Such a big sandstorm, we can't get through it."
Kakuzu thought for a while: "Forget it, let's go to the gathering place first to see if it's A Fei who comes."
"Okay!"
...
Just when the power of the sandstorm was getting stronger and stronger.
Many Chunin candidates had completely lost their way, and visibility was almost zero.
Even the strong wind blew up the gravel, which was like a sand grinder grinding skin.
A slightly larger stone could hit a person's head and bleed.
The team of Sakura, Ino, and Choji could hardly move.
Fortunately, Kanjiro found them at this time.
"Use this, this is a sand-proof cloak."
Kanjiro handed the sand-proof cloak to several people.
After he spoke, Ino and the other two realized that there were people from Sunagakure in front of them.
Kanjiro said: "The second round of exams will be temporarily suspended. You follow the people next to me and go to the shelter first."
Temari next to him waved the huge fan in her hand.
He waved it violently: "Kamaitachi!"
The Kamaitachi, which can usually sweep down a large forest, can only barely clear a wind path.
"Let's go now!"
Temari said seriously. Even the Sand Village is in great danger in this environment.
"Hurry up!" Temari urged.
Ino and the others were stunned for a moment before they quickly put on their cloaks and quickly followed the Sand Village to leave.
...
In the sandstorm, three Sand Village Genin who were taking the Chunin Exam were trying to identify the direction and walking in one direction.
Suddenly, one of them felt weak and fell to the ground.
"No, I can't walk anymore."
Jian Yue next to him immediately cheered: "Come on, we'll be at the Central Tower soon."
"Is it true? We've been walking for so long but haven't arrived yet."
"It can't be wrong! I...ah!"
Jian Yue's feet loosened and he suddenly sank to the ground.
He lay on the ground and said stubbornly:
"Look, it's the hidden quicksand, we didn't go wrong! We passed here when we came out!"
As he was talking, he began to slide down.
Jian Yue's teammates threw the rope eagerly and said angrily: "Is this the time to say such things?"
He kept sliding down and finally caught the rope thrown by his teammates.
Jian Yue's teammates called out to the weak people next to him: "Come on, pull Jian Yue up!..."
As a result, the wind and sand became stronger and stronger, and the two people above used all their strength to pull Jian Yue up.
Unexpectedly, when Jian Yue reached the edge of the sand pit, the sand pit collapsed all of a sudden.
The three people screamed and fell down together.
On the sand dune not far from them, a bald monk was sitting cross-legged, and it was Fa Yi.
He sat in the huge sandstorm with a pipa on his back, still as still as a mountain.
He looked into the distance and whispered, "It's coming."
...
In the distance, Fu was leading two teammates and moving towards the central tower with difficulty.
As the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, Fu was very sensitive to the screams not far away.
Fu suddenly remembered that when she stepped on a trap, the village chief stood in front of her and was seriously injured.
"It's okay, I will definitely protect you."
Later, Fu asked, "Why, why do you want to protect me?"
The village chief said, "Of course it's because you are important, so you have to protect important people too."
"As long as anyone can form a bond, there will be no more war in this world."
"First, make 100 friends."
Fu came back to her senses and had been stunned for a few seconds.
Her teammates Hua Yan and Yang Lang looked at her and said, "What's wrong, Fu?"
"The central tower is over here."
Fu turned her head to the direction where she had just screamed.
"Hey, Fu, did you hear that?"
Fu suddenly took off, spread her wings and flew to the place where she had just heard the call.
"Hey! Fu! Where are you going! You said you would be obedient for the sake of the village chief!"
Fu flew forward and replied:
"The village chief will definitely agree with what I'm going to do next."
Hua Yan and Yang Lang couldn't open their eyes in the sandstorm, so they could only let Fu fly away.
...
Sunagakure saw that the Yue team had gradually fallen to the bottom of the quicksand.
The three of them were in despair.
Are they going to die?
At this time, a person waving wings came.
When Fu flew to the top of the quicksand, only six hands of the three were left outside.
The situation was urgent, and Fu closed his hands and sprayed out a huge net.
Suddenly, all three were covered.
The three had a leverage point, and they quickly lay on the net, exposed their heads, and gasped for breath.
Fu waved her wings and pulled the net.
"Okay, you guys don't move, I'm pulling the net!"
Fu vibrated her wings hard, and slowly pulled the three people out of the sand pit like pulling carrots.
After putting the three people on the ground, Fu was exhausted.
At this time, a large circle of sand walls suddenly rose around her, firmly blocking the wind and sand outside.
When Fu could no longer feel the raging wind and sand, she raised her head belatedly.
"Huh?"
At this time, Gaara, who was stepping on the sand mat, slowly descended.
It turned out that he was the one who raised the sand wall around him.
Gaara jumped to the ground and introduced himself to Fu: "I am Gaara, the fifth generation Kazekage of Sand Village."
Fu also introduced herself: "I am Fu from Takigakure Village."
Gaara asked: "Why did you save them? You are also a candidate for the Chunin Exam, right?"
Fu smiled: "Ah, our village chief taught me."
Fu recalled that she had just become a Jinchūriki, which was also a place that many people feared.
The village chief comforted her: "Maybe many people have misunderstood you, but you have to cherish the people around you."
"Try your best to be yourself for the people you cherish, then..."
Fu answered quickly: "Make 100 friends, right?"
The village chief was a little surprised, then nodded: "Yeah."
Fu came back to her senses: "He told me that one day, I will definitely make 100 friends."
Gaara looked at Fu calmly.
"Is that so? That's why you..."
Perhaps, she is just like herself when she was a child. If it weren't for Xia Mu-sama, she wouldn't be able to find friends either.
This person should be like me, a tailed beast Jinchuriki.
Fu asked in confusion: "Hmm?"
Gaara lowered his head and recalled his past:
"Seeing you reminds me of a person who had no friends before because his power was often out of control."
"He didn't understand what love was, and even hated the world."
Fu asked with great interest: "Hmm, what happened later?"
"Later he met an adult who helped him solve all his physical problems."
"His power was no longer out of control, and people around him began to love him."
"It was at this time that he began to have people who loved him."
