Chapter 52 The Forest of Death

The world of ninjas is cruel.

It is not only reflected in the war, no, to be precise, the Chūnin exam is another embodiment of the military power of various countries.

The Genins who came to participate represented their respective villages and countries. The more you become Chūnin, the stronger your national power will be proved. On the contrary, if the Genin who came to participate in the test is completely destroyed, it can only represent the weakening of the national power, maybe it will cause the coveting of the neighbors and trigger the war.

This reminds Neji of a novel he once read. It was about the UN hopes that wars can be conducted in a more harmless and life-respecting form, so they want to replace wars through the Olympics. A country that has won a lot of gold medals represents a strong national strength. Those with fewer gold medals represent weak national power. When there is a conflict between the two parties, the latter should take the initiative to give in.

As a result, the ending of the novel is that the plan fails, and the war should break out. A weak country will not give up the right to fight because of its weakness.

Ninja World is the same. No matter what the result of Chūnin’s exam is, Ninja War will still be fought, and the exam will not be considered as a whole.

“This is the test room for the second exam, the 44th exercise site, also called the’Death Forest’.”

Mitarashi Anko led the candidates from the classroom to a closed forest with a friendly smile on his face.

Neji looked up, looked at the depths of the deep forest, and then turned to look at the candidates in front of the door.

I wonder how many people will die in it?

He turned his gaze slightly and looked at an examinee wearing a hat. The latter was very keen, and immediately noticed Neji’s gaze. Looking back, a charming woman smile appeared on his face.

Orochimaru…

Neji retracted his gaze. At this time, Mitarashi Anko had already produced a stack of consent forms.

“If you want to take the second exam, sign this one.”

The appearance of the death consent form was not particularly surprising to the examinees, or it was only Konoha Xiaoqiang who was accidental, because they were all taking the exam for the first time.

The other candidates are veterans. Many people have gone through the Chūnin exam more than once. Naturally, they understand that death in the exam is commonplace.

After signing the consent form, Mitarashi Anko explained the test rules.

“The 44th exercise site is surrounded by more than 44 locked entrances. There are rivers, caves, and forests in the exercise site, with a tall tower in the center. The entrance is about 10 kilometers away from the tall tower.”



ten kilometers?

Xiao Li looked at Tenten and Neji after hearing the words. This distance was too short for their third class.

Their daily running training is more than ten kilometers long. If they run at full speed, their team can rush from the entrance to the tower in more than ten minutes.

But he knew that this test was definitely not just better than running speed.

“You have to challenge the limits of survival in this limited space. Weapons, ninjutsu, and methods are not limited. The goal is to compete for scrolls!”

As Mitarashi Anko said, he took out two scrolls.

“Heaven” and “Earth” are written on the scrolls.

“You have to gather the’Book of Heaven’ and the’Book of Earth’. There are 78 people left, which is 26 teams. Half of the teams bring the Book of Heaven and half the Book of Earth. If you want to pass the exam, just Three people must reach the central tower with the book of heaven and the book of earth at the same time!”

Little Sakura bit her lower lip and whispered: “This means that at least half of the team will be eliminated!”

“In addition, the time limit for this exam is 120 hours, which is 5 days. The food takes care of itself. There are wild animals in the forest. Of course, there are countless beasts and poisonous insects.”

With Mitarashi Anko’s explanation, the candidates became more and more able to understand the dangers in this exam.

The hurry is still second, the scroll is the focus.

In order to protect the scrolls from being snatched by other teams, one has to cheer up at all times. And in order to snatch the scrolls of other teams, they must actively look for offensive opportunities. These are a difficult test for the spirit.

“In this cruel environment, injuries are inevitable, and some people may even lose their lives.” Mitarashi Anko stretched out four fingers and announced the elimination rules.

“Those who have the following circumstances will be eliminated: one is that they fail to bring the sky and the Earth Coiling shaft to the tower within the specified time; the other is that someone in the team is killed or unable to move; in addition, it is not allowed to withdraw in the middle of the exam. Extra One of them is that it is strictly forbidden to peek at the scroll before reaching the tower!”

“What would happen if you watched it?” Naruto couldn’t help asking.

Mitarashi Anko smiled and looked at him: “You can try.”

“…”

“If you become Chūnin, you will definitely have the opportunity to access confidential documents. This is to test whether you are trustworthy… Okay, three consent forms change a scroll, and then choose an entrance. When the time is up, all groups will enter the forest at the same time!”

The receipt of the scroll was carried out in silence.

Unlike the first exam, the second exam was so cruel, and the pressure lingered in the hearts of every group.

Tenten went to lead the scroll in the third shift. After she came back, she quietly showed them: “What we got is the Book of the Earth.”

“So it seems that we are going to get another book of heaven!” Xiao Li said.

“Yeah.” Tenten nodded, and handed the scroll to Neji, “Neji, take the scroll. Your strength is the strongest among us. It’s safer to put it with you.”

“good.”

Neji took the scroll and put it in his arms.

After everyone had finished taking the scrolls, they went to an entrance. Such a scattered entry will not lead to a scene of a big scuffle right after entering the forest.

The three of them stood in front of Entrance No. 36, all eager to try.

There are too many combat missions experienced. For this type of competition, the three of them will not feel nervous. On the contrary, they feel that their team may have a chance to get a good result in the first place.

Tenten looked at Neji next to him, and said that Neji was there, and it would be easy to complete the exam.

“Time is up!” The Konoha Shinobi guard opened the door lock, “The exam begins!”

“Let’s go!”

The three of them disappeared together. The speed was so fast that the ninja who opened the lock was taken aback, and helped forehead protector: “It seems that these three imps have very strong physical skills.”

Entering the Forest of Death, the three people have a unified goal, which is the central tower.

They didn’t have a specific target for attack, so they decided to go to the vicinity of the tower first, then stand by and snipe the incoming team. Quite a feeling of squatting on the side of the poison ring.

Some teams with goals will give priority to finding goals.

For example, Orochimaru…

Neji is not going to have any conflict with Orochimaru now, that is after all one of Sannin, not what he can handle now.

Moreover, Orochimaru’s technique is also very willing to restrain the ninja of the physical art flow. The “Orochimaru stand-in flow” is not trivial, and the physical art ninja is extremely difficult to decipher. In addition, even if it can kill Orochimaru, it is meaningless. As long as there is a curse imprinted on others, Orochimaru can continue to resurrect.

For example, the examiner of this exam, Mitarashi Anko, has a curse on his body. If you want to kill Orochimaru, you have to kill her first, which is completely impossible.

Therefore, Neji did not intend to do anything with Orochimaru in this forest, and avoided as much as possible.

But if you run into his men, then…it’s different.

“Stop.” Neji suddenly stopped advancing.

Xiao Li and Tenten stopped beside him, and Xiao Li asked, “Neji, have you found the enemy?”

“Yeah.” Neji was in Byakugan’s state at this time, “800 meters away, there is a team of people. We lurked in the past and won’t give them a chance to fight back, and we will be the first to subdue.”

“good!”
