Chapter 123 Everyone talks about it
After Yahiko and Namikaze Minato finished their conversation.

Bai Ye and Jiraiya have begun to call each other brothers and have become friends regardless of age.

Yahiko and Namikaze Minato both knew that it was teacher Jiraiya who was helping them to get closer to Byakuya, but in this way, their seniority was inexplicably lowered.

Fortunately, seniority is not important in the ninja world; strength and status are what matter.

Just like Neji and Hinata from the Hyuga clan, no matter how well they played together when they were young, when they grew up, they still had to call her Hinata-sama, and if they were disobedient, they would naturally receive the caged bird education.

Compared with the Hyuga clan, the rules of the ninja world are simply not put on the table.

After lunch, the group left the Ninja School and headed towards the Forest of Death.

The Death Forest is the largest of Konoha's many training grounds, covering an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers, and is home to many poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts that can threaten ninjas.

What the exchange group is going to observe today is a large-scale actual combat exercise in the Death Forest.

After arriving at the high tower in the central area, Minato Namikaze turned on the TV screen and used cameras scattered throughout the Death Forest to broadcast the exercise in real time.

The exercise is divided into the Blue Team and the Red Team, each side has four teams of sixteen people, a total of thirty-two people.

These thirty-two people are all Genin carefully selected by Konoha, and they can demonstrate Konoha's powerful strength and foundation.

As the countdown sounded, teams from both sides disappeared from the spot and started a fierce battle.

After seeing the composition of both teams, Bai Ye realized that this was a wonderful performance put on by Konoha for them, not a real combat exercise.

In a real battlefield, the strength of both sides would not be so equal, and a situation of equal strength would rarely occur.

Despite this, Bai Ye still watched the exercise with great interest, and began to use his perception ability to lock onto the positions of these people to see how far his perception limits were.

As the two sides met and fought for the first time, Minato Namikaze began to explain the composition of Konoha's troops.

A Konoha team is composed of four people, one of whom must be a medical ninja. This is basic common sense and most people in the ninja world know it.

Minato Namikaze explained that Konoha was training ninja teams in a differentiated way.

Simply put, it is to train reconnaissance teams, tactical teams, physical teams and comprehensive teams, and prepare to take the elite route.

What Minato Namikaze said was very complicated, but Bai Ye understood it immediately.

Isn't this the route of the Twelve Little Strongmen in later generations? Judging from the results, the training of the Twelve Little Strongmen was very successful. Except for the reconnaissance team led by Yuhi Hong, the other teams have the ability to compete with the Kage-level strongmen.

At this moment, Bai Ye sensed an unusual chakra. It seemed that a wild beast suddenly broke into the Death Forest and erupted with waves of considerable chakra.

Just as he was about to alert the Fourth Hokage, one of the images on the monitor went out, and the other image showed a giant black figure attacking the Konoha ninjas.

Seeing this, Yahiko and Konan looked at each other and said to Namikaze Minato: "Minato, is this also part of the exercise? To show how your village can deal with large summoning beasts?"

Minato Namikaze's face darkened. He hoped that this was part of the plan, but this was really an accident.

However, in front of Yahiko and Konan, he still acted calm and composed.

"Yahiko's guess is correct. This is part of the drill, but the beasts we chose are a little too strong. Teacher Jiraiya, could you please go and plunder the formation?"

Jiraiya understood what Minato meant and nodded.

When they were about to leave the tower, Bai Ye followed and said, "Brother Jiraiya has gone, I'll go over and have some fun too. I haven't fought for a long time, so I'm still a little uncomfortable." "Bai Ye..."

Jiraiya was about to say something but stopped himself, as he was worried that Bai Ye would be in danger.

But then he thought that with the protection of the three ninjas, Bai Ye would not be in danger, so he nodded and said, "It's okay to take you there to broaden your horizons. You just need to follow behind me."

After Bai Ye and Jiraiya left.

Yahiko seemed to have discovered something and asked in a low voice: "Brother Minato, there won't be any accidents during this exercise, will there?"

Minato Namikaze nodded helplessly, his eyes already explained something.

Yahiko stepped forward and patted Minato Namikaze's shoulder: "Brother Minato, you need to adapt more. This kind of accident within the control of your ability is not an accident at all."

What have you been through in these years...

Minato Namikaze was surprised at Yahiko's good attitude, but he was worried about more than that. He was worried that the accident encountered during the exercise was not an accident, but a premeditated plan.

There must be someone in the village who doesn't want him to have a good relationship with the Hidden Rain Village.

At this time, Xiaonan also came over to comfort him: "Brother Minato, don't worry too much. Bai Ye is very strong. Yahiko can become the leader of Yugakure thanks to him."

Minato Namikaze was stunned for a moment. Could it be that the Akatsuki organization was not a subordinate of the Hidden Rain Village in the beginning?
On the way to find the large ferocious beast, Jiraiya deliberately slowed down several times, waiting for Bai Ye to catch up, but he soon discovered that Bai Ye seemed to be faster than him.

How could a young boy possibly surpass him in speed? Even Minato couldn't do it at this age.

After trying to speed up, Jiraiya found that Byakuya was still able to catch up steadily without showing any signs of being out of breath.

This made Jiraiya a little confused, and he wanted to know Bai Ye's specific strength.

Is he, as Minato and Kakashi said, only at the level of a jonin, or has he already become an elite jonin and is only a step away from becoming the leader of a ninja village?

Before he had time to think, Jiraiya had already seen the large beast.

This large beast is a giant snake that is more than 20 meters long. Just by passing through the Death Forest, it can leave a deep mark. A casual flick of its tail can even break a tree in half.

After seeing that the other party was a giant snake, Jiraiya frowned subconsciously.

In his impression, most giant snakes are followers of Ryuchi Cave and have a close relationship with his good friend Orochimaru. Could it be that this giant snake was released by Orochimaru?

But why did Orochimaru put a big snake in the Forest of Death? Did he want to sabotage the exercise?

Thinking of this, Jiraiya shook his head. Orochimaru was not so narrow-minded. Even if he failed in the election for Hokage, he would not do such a cheap thing.

Just as Jiraiya was hesitating, Bai Ye had already taken action.

After performing the Water Instant Technique and disappearing from the spot, Bai Ye appeared directly above the giant snake's head the next moment. The long sword in his hand was directly enchanted with chakra and pierced into the giant snake's body with one blow.

The giant snake's body twitched, and then blood flowed out like a waterfall, and it fell in a pool of blood.

Seeing this scene, Jiraiya was very shocked. The giant snake was killed by Bai Ye in one blow. Even if he took action, he couldn't do it so easily.
