"21 teams, 63 people. I will eliminate them by half at least."
"The real test is about to begin~"
"Follow me, we're going to change places!"
Anko said and walked out first.
Candidates were taken aback by Anko's exaggerated elimination rate.
"What are you still doing here? Do you want to abstain?"
After Ibiki yelled, they all came to their senses and ran out quickly.
.......
Forest of death
63 candidates gathered in front of a barbed wire fence with a 'no entry' sign.
What caught their eye were the exaggerated roots of the big trees behind the fence and the lush forest that can't be seen at a glance.
"Hmph, Konoha, what a luxury..."
"Stupid, shut up, the plan hasn't started yet, who knows if it will even succeed!"
Temari scolded Kankuro in a low voice.
And Gaara didn't speak, he just looked up quietly at the green forest that the land of Wind envied.
"Hehehe, it's finally time to start...Sasuke-kun, wait for me~"
Orochimaru looked at Sasuke's back and laughed strangely.
…
'Orochimaru... No, it should be Aunt Orochi, wearing a bamboo hat and sticking out her tongue.' Naruto thought.
"Huh?"
Sasuke frowned and turned around.
He always felt that today, among the candidates looking at him behind him, there were a few extremely aggressive and malicious eyes.
"Ah."
Naruto smiled slightly when he saw Sasuke's movement.
Sasuke could be said to have the strongest aura of the protagonist.
Girls liked his cool personality and handsome appearance.
The boys were full of hostility towards him and his cool behavior.
Opponents were always the first to stare at the extremely flamboyant him.
There were also people like Orochimaru who had a certain purpose in mind, and they put their attention on him early on.
…
"This is the location of the second round of exams, training ground no. 44."
"Also known as the Forest of death~"
"As for the reason for the name, you will know soon."
Anko gave an evil smile.
Some candidates were frightened by Anko's tone and smile.
"In short, you have to sign this consent form first, otherwise you will not be able to continue taking the exam, but will be directly disqualified."
Anko handed out a stack of forms.
"Why do we have to sign this?"
"Is it dangerous inside?"
Some students asked puzzledly.
"Yeah, because some may die here, so you must sign your consent in advance, otherwise I will be in trouble."
Anko smiled sweetly.
"This.....is this the danger that Kabuto-san talked about before?!"
Sakura said with a pale face.
Many people also realized that the biggest difficulty of this exam was coming, the crisis of life and death.
"That little girl has also grown up~"
Orochimaru looked at Anko and licked his lips.
"Quiet! Listen to the rules first!"
Anko then explained the rules of the second round of exams in detail.
"Three consent forms will be exchanged for a scroll, and then an entrance door will be chosen, and when the time is up, everyone will enter at the same time."
"Finally, I'll give you one more suggestion..."
"Don't die."
"It seems that battle is inevitable"
Sasuke looked at the consent form in his hand and said seriously.
It was not that he didn't worry about himself, and Naruto, but the strength of the Sakura made him feel worried.
Kiba: "Very well, this is what we are best at! Hinata, come on!"
Hinata: "...um"
Shino: "What I'm saying is that the three of us have the greatest advantage in this regard."
"It's troublesome..."
Shikamaru squatted on the ground and scratched his hair, looking bored.
Kankuro: "Although others are afraid of us, being with Gaara for 5 days is also scary..."
…
"Hee hee hee, let's practise with the newcomers first ~"
Orochimaru, disguised as a Kusa shinobi, said to his companions.
Since the exam allows killing people, it will be beneficial to us."
…
Thirty minutes later, Anko unlocked the doors.
"Chūnin selection test, the second round, starts now!"
Naruto and the others moved quickly toward the depths of the forest.
…
"Is it those brats?"
"Go find them~"
Orochimaru and his teammates followed closely behind.
In the control center, the Third Hokage, and other instructors, Elite Jōnin, were watching the screen of all the candidates taking the exam pouring into the forest of death on the monitor.
"The second round of exams has officially started, and I will leave it to you here."
The Third Hokage stood up and said to Kakashi and the others.
"yes!"
"Okay, Hokage-sama!"
"Is there any action from Danzo's side?"
The Third Hokage asked into the air on the way back to the Hokage building.
In the next second, an Anbu wearing a mask appeared.
"Danzo-sama is still staying at the root base and has not come out. The rest of the root ninjas remain as they are."
"Then ignore him and focus on this exam, especially the safety of the village. There must be a lot of spies in this exam. I don't want them to interrupt the exam process."
Third Hokage exhaled a smoke ring and spoke slowly.
Just as Danzo had the root ninjas spying over the Third Hokage, similarly, Third Hokage was also spying on Danzo, both of them knowing it well and letting each other do what they wanted.
Fortunately, what reassured the Third Hokage was that Danzo generally wouldn't cause trouble for him on such a big event.
Just like at this moment, Danzo's root did not interfere with the Chūnin exam arranged by him, which made Hiruzen very satisfied. Therefore, to ensure the smoothness of the exam and the safety of the village, he called back those Anbu ninjas who were watching over the root.
"yes!"
After the Anbu finished speaking, he disappeared immediately.
"When will Jiraiya arrive?"
The Third Hokage asked the people behind him.
"He is expected to arrive before the third round of examinations begins."
"Is that so?"
…
Forest of Death.
'There are five days for the exam, and we have to deal with Orochimaru too, and the main body must be here, so we can leave for one or two days in between, and one day should be enough to solve Danzo…'
Clone Naruto thought about his plans.
"Ahh…"
A scream suddenly sounded.
"stop!"
"What was that sound?"
Sasuke shouted.
"It seems that some candidates have already been eliminated."
Naruto replied.
"and..."
Naruto also sensed that he and others had been surrounded by snakes.
'What a hurry, Orochimaru.'
"I...I'm a little nervous...."
Sakura said in a low voice, feeling a little ashamed, but there was nothing she could do, she was the weakest person here.
