'It's only been two days, and it's over?'
'Didn't you just say it would be three days?'
'If those who abstained knew, wouldn't they hate you to death?'
Faced with the strange gazes of the remaining seventy Genin, the proctor Chunin didn't care at all. They just turned around and set off toward the Forest of Death.
The remaining Genin had no choice but to drag their tired bodies to catch up with them.
Kanpū followed from behind, his eyes rolled, and he directly took out military ration pill to replenish his strength, and then took water from sealing scroll to replenish his moisture.
Reifū, who is next to him, had his eyes popping out when he saw this: "Kanpū, you, you… You will be disqualified if the proctor found you doing that!"
"No, don't worry."
Kanpū smiled and said, "The first stage of the exam is over, so… you know."
Reifū was stunned, 'That's right, just now, the proctor said that in the exam, we can't eat military ration pill and can't drink water. But now that the first stage is over, there is naturally no such taboo!'
Reifū immediately fetches some water to replenish his moisture, and then speaks to remind Yuki and Yama, who are running ahead.
After a while, the rest of the Genin also started to eat and drink.
The proctor Chunin, who ran ahead, really did not stop them.
"Kanpū, you are very smart!" Reifū exclaimed.
"Chunin Exams is not just about muscles."
Kanpū glanced at Yama, who is in front of him, and said happily, "Wisdom is the most important thing."
Yama felt he was insulted at this moment: 'This Kanpū is calling me stupid, right?'
Just as he was about to refute Kanpū fiercely with his own experience, he suddenly found that the distance between him and the Genin in front of him was gradually widening.
"What's going on?" Yama hurriedly accelerated and followed along. He looked up and found that the proctor Chunin, who were running at the front, were actually getting faster and faster!
"It seems that another group of people will be eliminated." Kanpū's footsteps fastened, and he quickly followed. He looked towards Reifū, and saw that his were bloodshot, but he still clenched his teeth, and chased closely.
But as time passed, more than a dozen Genin gradually fell behind. Kanpū sighed silently as he looked at these Genin with red eyes and screaming to catch up with them.
It can't be helped. After all, although everyone replenished their stamina and moisture, they have been sleepless for two days and one night, and coupled with the pressure of the exams, their mental will is also being consumed invisibly. And now, they have to rush to the Forest of Death, so of course the Genin, whose foundation is unstable, can't hold on.
After a while, this dozen or so Genin were ruthlessly eliminated.
...
At around ten o'clock in the evening, the remaining sixty or so Genin reached the outskirts of the Forest of Death that is surrounded by huge iron nets, while gasping for breath.
When Kanpū ran here, there was a palpitation in his chest. Coupled with the gloomy environment all around, there was an inexplicable feeling that he was about to die suddenly.
The other Genin were not much better, and they all gasped for breath with their hands on their backs.
However, the proctor Chunin ruthlessly prevented them from taking a break: "The second stage of the exam, survive in the Forest of Death for three days!"
"You are not allowed to bring any Ninja Tools in this stage! You must also hand over all the military ration pills and water to us!"
"You can cooperate or attack each other during the exam, but killing is prohibited!"
"If you can't hold on, you can just abstain, and we will immediately take you out of here!"
"In addition, I will give you all a piece of information for free. Because of the influence of human factors, the wild beasts in the Forest of Death are particularly violent, so be careful not to die in this place!"
"Then, tell me about the Ninja Tool, Ninja bag, military ration pills, water, food, sealing scroll and other items on your body, and hand in all of them!"
The remaining sixty or so Genin looked at each other in blank dismay. They bit the bullet and handed over the ninja bag, sealing scroll, food and water on their body.
Kanpū was no exception. At first, he even resisted a bit, but seeing that the Genin, who looked like from Uchiha Clan, Hyūga Clan, Ino–Shika–Cho and other clan all handed over their sealing scroll, he suddenly felt less resistance in his heart.
After sorting the examinees' belongings, the proctor Chunin finally announced: "The second stage of the exam is officially started!"
The iron net slowly opened, and more than 60 Genin had no choice but to rush in empty-handed.
During the running process, the Shinobi from the Great Clan huddled together. Ino–Shika–Cho even went far more extreme. The three Great Clans gathered together in a swarm. Kanpū, Reifū, Yuki, and Yama would naturally not be separated. As for the civilian Shinobi, they are not stupid. Without saying anything further, they all pleased each other with their eyes.
Only after all the examinees entered the Forest of Death that the proctor Chunin closed the iron net again.
Next, these proctor Chunin came to the place where the examinees' belongings were placed and formed a circle. They then turned around at the same time and looked elsewhere.
At the next moment, a man wearing piggy mask, black tight clothes and a white suspender shirt appeared in the middle of the proctor Chunin.
He turned over the items on the ground, and finally took out Kanpū's sealing scroll, and disappeared from that place in an instant.
...
Hokage Tower
In his office, Hiruzen easily opened Kanpū's sealing scroll, and then took out the items inside one by one.
Ding!
Obtain an Iron Box the size of a human head.
When he opened it, the dazzling light of the ruby and sapphire appeared. Looking closely, the gems inside are stained with some stone chips, which obviously showed that they are just unearthed.
Hiruzen guessed that these gems are from the gem mine in Land of the Moon.
Ding!
Obtain a bamboo stick.
Hiruzen touched it, and it really felt like bamboo, but the weight was wrong. He groped it carefully, and finally realized that it was a sharp sword.
Recalling about the information about Kanpū, Hiruzen understood that this is the sword made by the Shinobi craftsman Kanpū hired in the Craftsman Shinobi Village, which seemed to be called Moonlight.
He continues to take out the items from the scroll.
Ding!
Obtain a silver ore.
Hiruzen took a look at it and found nothing unusual.
Taking out another item again.
Ding!
Get a brand new shriveled wallet.
Ding!
Get a Shinobi Certificate.
Then… there is no more.
'There are only these items?'
Hiruzen frowned: 'It seems that there is no item related to the "Abyss" organization.'
Hiruzen waved his hand and motioned to the Anbu beside him to put these things away, and said: "Put it back."
"Yes!"
...
At the same time.
In the Forest of Death.
Kanpū and his group of four are looking for the river.
The first element of survival in the wild is to find a water source. This is the most important point no matter where you are, but…
"Kanpū, you look a little weird. What's wrong?" Reifū asked strangely.
"Could it be that you are afraid of the beasts in the forest?" Yama teased with a smile.
Kanpū squinted at them, and secretly sighed: 'It is really enviable that Shinobi, who have not mastered Sensor Ninjutsu, have nothing to worry about.'
'That's right, when Kanpū came in just now, in order to prevent accidents, he used Sensor Ninjutsu. He then saw the strange phenomenon of the proctor Chunin outside were forming a circle, especially when a person with a very clear lines suddenly appeared. When he was in the middle of the circle, Kanpū was even more surprised.
Then, Kanpū quickly remembered that the ninja bag, sealing scroll, food, water and other items that they had handed over happened to be in the middle of the circle surrounded by these proctor Chunin.
Kanpū's intuition told him that the other party must have come for his sealing scroll!
As for it is Hiruzen or Danzō behind it, Kanpū thinks that both of them are possible candidate.
Fortunately, Kanpū had sunk all the corpses in the sealing scroll before returning to the village. Otherwise, if they saw a lot of corpses inside, they would have labeled Kanpū as a crazy pervert.
Kanpū was both feeling lucky and aggrieved, but now that the matter had come to this point, he can only keep telling himself that he must be cautious and careful in the future, otherwise, if Hiruzen or Danzō found something strange, they will definitely kill him!
