In an instant, it seemed to trigger a chain reaction.
Many students gradually left the examination hall.
Morino Ibiki looked at the remaining examinees before him and asked coldly, "Is no one else abstaining?"
None of the candidates below responded to his words.
Seeing this, Morino Ibiki realized that he couldn't be intimidated anymore.
Then, a smile appeared on his previously serious face.
"All the remaining candidates have passed this round of exams."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the classroom, except for Naruto who remained calm, was stunned.
"What? You passed the exam?"
"What about the tenth question?"
"Yeah, what about the last question? Where did it go?"
Seeing the puzzled looks on the examinees' faces, Morino Ibiki explained, "The last question is to test your courage. If you don't even have this much courage, then what qualifications do you have to become an excellent ninja?"
The students below heard the explanation and all understood the reason.
Sasuke and Sakura, who had been on edge, finally relaxed.
It turns out that the previous tests were all preparation; the biggest challenge was in the last ten minutes.
"Finally passed the test." Sasuke let out a long breath; this feeling was even more exhausting than going through a battle.
however--
Just as the candidates were secretly relieved that they hadn't given up, a sound of breaking glass suddenly rang out.
"boom!!"
Before the students could react, a woman wearing a fishnet-patterned underwear and a light yellow coat jumped into the classroom through the broken window.
"I am the second examiner, Mitarashi Anko."
Then, she looked at the remaining candidates in the class, her eyebrows slightly raised.
"Ibixi, there are still so many people left here. It seems that not many people were eliminated in the first round."
"..." Upon hearing this, Ibiki Morino's lips twitched violently. "Then it's up to you now."
"Hmm." Red Bean grinned and said, "Don't worry, I'll make sure they wipe out most of the second round."
As the examiners finished speaking, the students in the class instantly became nervous.
That's terrifying—more than half of them have been eliminated!
At this moment, Azuki stopped chatting and laughing with Morino Ibiki and turned to look at the examinees with a serious expression.
"You will all gather in the Death Forest tomorrow morning. Anyone who is late will be eliminated."
Upon hearing this, the candidates all wore solemn expressions.
They had no idea what they would encounter in the Forest of Death tomorrow.
Naruto clicked his tongue slightly as he listened to Anko's words.
"The second round of assessment is finally approaching. I wonder what I'll catch while fishing in the Death Forest?"
After thinking about it for a while with great anticipation, he began to admire Hongdou's figure.
"She's in pretty good shape right now, but it'll be unbearable to look at her during the Boruto era."
Thinking of this, Naruto shuddered and secretly made up his mind.
Next time, I must make sure Hinata eats less candy and feeds me more imported candy.
I'm not afraid of getting fat!!!
After Hongdou announced the location of the second round of the competition, the candidates in the classroom left one by one.
Everyone returned to their lodgings to rest and prepare for the Death Forest.
Inside the classroom.
Ibiki Morino was tidying up the exam papers.
When he arrived at Naruto's desk, he looked down at the drawing of Hinata on the exam paper and his lips twitched violently.
"With such a stressful exam, they actually put their energy into showing off their relationship."
"Naruto, you're really something."
"Next time we have the Chunin Exams, we absolutely have to include showing off our love in the rules!"
"Candidates who show affection in public will be eliminated!!!"
(This chapter is a long one, four thousand words.)
Chapter 65: Here are the guns, just shoot them all when you encounter enemies!
The next morning.
The entrance to the Forest of Death.
At this time, a number of ninjas who were participating in the Chunin Exams gradually gathered there.
Before long, the number of candidates had grown from just a few to dozens.
Meanwhile, Kakashi's Team 7 had already reached the gathering place in the Forest of Death.
Naruto gazed at the dark forest behind the rusty iron fence, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
The system had given me a heads-up when I first acquired it.
Fishing in different locations offers a chance to obtain extraordinary items.
In Naruto's memory, the Forest of Death was ten kilometers long, with crisscrossing rivers inside.
Now, finding a river and going fishing is the real deal – the important thing.
As Naruto was planning his next fishing trip, he suddenly noticed a cold gaze fixed on him from a distance.
Then, he tilted his head and looked over.
A ninja from the Land of Grass wore a straw hat and had a purple ribbon tied around his waist. His expression was quite effeminate.
Naruto knew exactly who the ninja from the Land of Grass was, as he looked in his direction.
Of course, it's Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.
However, Orochimaru was lurking among the examinees.
As for his purpose.
Naruto naturally understood.
Orochimaru was simply lusting after Sasuke's body.
at the same time.
Orochimaru, who was lusting after Sasuke's body, suddenly saw Naruto tilting his head and looking at him.
Immediately, his brows furrowed slightly, and his long, golden snake tail shimmered as if he were pondering something.
But soon——
He stuck out his long tongue and began licking the corners of his mouth repeatedly.
Naruto's eyelids twitched slightly when he saw Orochimaru's disgusting appearance.
What's wrong with this?!
Is your mouth too dry?
Do I need to keep licking it?
Naruto looked away, deciding it was better to look at his wife Hinata for a while.
at this time.
In the second round of the Death Forest, the examiner, Red Bean, looked at the candidates who had arrived and smiled with satisfaction.
"Alright, before the exam, you all need to sign this death consent form first, since some of you might end up here forever during this round of exams."
As she spoke, she took a stack of papers from the table beside her.
"You can only enter the examination room after you sign this death consent form. If you do not sign it, it will be considered as a waiver of the exam."
"In addition, you have a total of twenty-six teams, of which thirteen teams possess the Heaven Scroll and thirteen teams possess the Earth Scroll."
"Your task is simple: collect the Heaven Scroll and the Earth Scroll, cross the Forest of Death, and reach the Central Tower. Then you will have passed the second level."
"You only have five days to take the exam. If you exceed that time, it will be considered as forfeiting the exam."
As Hongdou spoke, the expression on her face became increasingly sinister and terrifying, looking quite frightening.
Many of the participating ninjas couldn't help but tremble slightly upon seeing this.
At this moment, Hongdou took out a string of three-colored meatballs from the table, bit off one, and ate it.
Savoring the sweet dumplings, he waved to the examinees and said with a smile, "Stop dawdling and come get your scrolls."
Inside the Death Forest.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura Haruno traversed the forest.
Along the way, the three of them did not encounter any other ninja teams, but they did encounter quite a few snakes, insects, and ants.
Among these, there are many that are not poisonous.
"These bugs are so annoying."
Sakura Haruno looked at the mosquito bite on her arm and muttered a speechless comment.
At that moment, Sasuke swatted a mosquito and then took out a map from his pocket.
He then checked his location and pointed to the map, saying, "We're currently on the outskirts of the Death Forest. If we want to encounter ninjas, we'll have to go deeper into the forest."
Naruto looked at the map, his gaze immediately locking onto the river marker.
“We’ll walk along the riverbank, so we can catch fish to eat when we’re hungry, and maybe we can also try our luck and find someone else who has the same idea as us?”
