"System, is there any way to increase the probability of drawing rare items?" Furen asked the system.
System: "The only way to increase the probability of drawing rare items is by conquering more female characters and gaining their favorability."
Furen touched his chin. When he obtained these eyes that could see through the reward pool, he had already asked the system. These eyes were obtained after conquering 100% favorability of the first female character. So, to increase the probability of drawing rare items, it seems he needed to more characters to 100% favorability.
Looking at the words "draw available" behind Kin Tsuchi's favorability in his mind, Furen thought for a while but resisted the urge to draw.
"No rush, no rush, I'll wait until a few more to 100% favorability before drawing."
Furen thought to himself. Based on his experience so far, with only a 25% favorability rate, the chances of drawing something good were slim. Only when he had better odds would he draw.
At this moment, Morino Ibiki finished explaining the final question. Some candidates, unable to bear the pressure of possibly never becoming Chunin if they failed, left the exam room.
Looking at the remaining ninjas, Morino Ibiki stood on the podium and announced, "I declare that you've all passed the first exam!"
As soon as Ibiki finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly swept through the classroom, and in the blink of an eye, a figure appeared on the podium.
"I'm the proctor for the second exam… Mitarashi Anko! Let's head to the next exam now! Follow me!"
The round-faced Anko appeared on the podium and pinned the location of the second exam with a kunai.
"Anko, huh… she's quite cute."
Furen murmured as he looked at Anko. Although she was a few years older than them, her appearance showed no signs of aging. The slightly baby-faced Anko had an adorable aura, almost like a recently graduated student.
Outside an area surrounded by tall iron wire.
Standing at the front, Anko turned around and said, "This is the site for the second exam… Training Ground 44, also known as the Forest of Death!"
All the ninjas looked towards the Forest of Death, where the trees were absurdly tall, reaching heights of dozens of meters.
"You'll soon understand why it's called the Forest of Death." Anko's gaze turned sharp.
Naruto, who had been silent, scoffed, "Even if you threaten me like that, I won't be afraid!"
"Oh? You're quite spirited…" Anko smiled slyly and then, with a flick of her wrist, a kunai slipped from her sleeve and was thrown at Naruto.
Furen, who had anticipated this, quickly stepped in front of Naruto. But instead of deflecting the kunai, he allowed it to leave a shallow cut on his face.
"Spill your precious blood and meet your death…" Anko's somewhat sticky voice whispered in Furen's ear, showing that despite her cute appearance, she was far from easy to deal with.
After her sudden attack, Anko's previously playful demeanor shifted.
Mitarashi Anko's favorability towards you: 10%
Realizing that something felt off, Anko quickly pulled back from Furen's grasp. Seeing that all the exam candidates were watching her, she coughed awkwardly.
"Before we begin the second exam, I need you all to fill out these consent forms. Since people may die in this exam, we need your consent before you enter the Forest of Death."
After saying that, Anko pulled a stack of consent forms from a scroll and distributed them.
Once everyone had completed their forms, Anko began explaining the rules: "Simply put, this exam is a survival challenge. You must fight within a limited area, using any means necessary… it's a scroll battle!"
"You must collect both the Heaven Scroll and the Earth Scroll to pass the exam," Anko said, pulling out two scrolls to demonstrate. "Each three-person team will get one scroll. If you're a four-person team… well, you'll need to collect two scrolls to pass the exam, Tsukiyo Furen."
