"Why does this place feel so terrifying?”The examinees stood outside the Forest of Death and looked at the eerie Forest of Death that was surrounded by barbed wire.
"I believe you will soon understand why this place is called the Forest of Death.”Red Bean looked at the examinees across from her and said excitedly," Before the second round of the exam begins, I want to give you this first.”As she spoke, Red Bean took out a stack of consent forms.
"This is the consent form. You have to sign it before you can take the exam.”Red Bean explained with a smile to the examinee who was staring at the stack of papers in her hand.
"Why?" Someone among the examinees could not help but ask.
" Because someone might die in this exam, so I need your permission. Otherwise, I'll be responsible. Hahaha!" Red Bean laughed loudly. However, this laughter gave people a sinister feeling, giving them goosebumps. The first impression Naruto had of the Queen was that she had a mental problem. He couldn't help but shiver.
"Then I will begin to explain the rules of the second exam. Simply put, I want you to challenge the limits of survival.”After handing out the consent forms, Red Bean finally said seriously," Let me first introduce the terrain of the drill ground. In other words, you can use any method to fight for the scrolls in this drill ground!”Red Bean explained seriously.
"A scroll?"
"That's right. You must fight for the two scrolls, the Book of Heaven and the Book of Earth. After the first exam, there were 24 pairs. Half of them would bring the Book of Heaven and the other half would bring the Book of Earth. The condition to pass was that the three people in each pair had to bring the two scrolls at the same time and report to their destination, Gaoqiao, within five days. In other words, at least half of you will be eliminated. Remember, you only have five days.”
Hearing this strict rule, except for those who had ill intentions, those who came to take the exam began to worry.
"Then can I give up halfway?" the lazy Shikamaru asked.
"As I said earlier, you are not allowed to give up halfway through the examination. You must stay in the forest for five days.”At this moment, Red Bean truly looked like an examiner.
"Next, I will tell you the rules of the elimination examination. Now, you can use the three consent forms to exchange for a scroll over there. Then, you can choose your own entrance and prepare to start together. Hey, I'll give you one last piece of advice-don't die in there.”Red Bean kindly warned after explaining the rules.
Then, teams of Genin took their scrolls from the tables that were blocked by the curtains and stood nervously at the iron gate of the Forest of Death, waiting for the examiner's order to start.
"I hereby announce the start of the second round of the Chuunin selection exam.”Red Bean announced loudly as soon as the exam started. Then, teams of examinees quickly entered the Forest of Death from the entrance they had chosen. One of them was Orochimaru's team!
Running in the forest, Naruto was looking for the fastest way forward while paying attention to the movements around him. Orochimaru should be able to find him soon. If he really encountered Orochimaru, his hidden strength would be exposed. At that time, a series of chain reactions would definitely have a huge impact on his plan. Perhaps the Dark Group would even invite him to have tea. Although he used to do this to others, it was not good to have it happen to him. Now, he could only be a coward. Naruto's mental strength was highly concentrated.
After a while, Naruto found that there were already three small fish in front of them, waiting for them with traps. He didn't care, he had to get rid of them first. With that thought in mind, Naruto immediately increased his speed and displayed his superior speed and senses. In the blink of an eye, he killed the three minor characters before Sasuke and Sakura could react.
"We're lucky that they happen to be the Book of Earth."”Naruto smiled as he showed the Book of Earth to Sasuke and Sakura.
"Naruto, since we have the matching scroll, let's take a break first.”Xiao Ying's panting voice suddenly sounded.
"Hmm?" Naruto was surprised to see Sakura's condition. However, when he saw Sakura panting and Sasuke who was also lacking in strength, he could not help but blame himself. It seemed that he was too strong in not revealing his strength. I actually lost my usual calmness. I didn't even consider the condition of my companions 'bodies and continued to speed up my journey.
"Alright, let's take a break first.”Naruto, who had calmed down since entering the Forest of Death, smiled and agreed. However, as soon as he stopped, Naruto felt two ordinary waves and a weak energy wave enter his perception domain, and they were approaching him very quickly.
" They're here so soon?!" There were only two kinds of people who had weak energy fluctuations in Naruto's divine sense. One was an ordinary person, and the other was a very powerful person. In this dangerous forest of death, there would definitely not be an ordinary person. The Genin who took the Chuunin exam would definitely not be so strong. There was only one explanation. They had been locked onto by Orochimaru. As for the other two very ordinary fluctuations, they should be his so-called companions in this exam. It seemed that they could not hide from what was coming.
"All of you, quickly prepare for battle. An extremely powerful enemy is coming. You must be extremely careful.”Sensing that Orochimaru was getting closer and closer, Naruto immediately pulled out a shuriken and shouted at Sasuke and Sakura, who were still unaware of the danger. At the same time, he locked his attention on Orochimaru.
However, just as Orochimaru was about to approach, a strong wind blew from that direction. It seemed that he had used a ninjutsu to scout the way. Just as the gale was about to approach them, Naruto, who had been prepared, immediately activated the defensive Earth Evasion Ninjutsu to block the gale.
"Aiyaya, I didn't expect that you could use such ninjutsu at such an age. It's more interesting than I thought.”At this moment, Orochimaru and his two partners finally appeared." You guys go first. I'll handle this."”
"Then we'll leave first." After saying that, two of them immediately disappeared in front of Naruto and the others.
"Hehehe, you must really want the Book of Earth in my hands, right? Because what you have happens to be the Book of Heaven.”Orochimaru took out the Book of Earth from his back and laughed sinisterly.
"Unfortunately, we already have the Book of Earth that you said we lacked.”Just as Orochimaru was about to swallow the Book of Earth, Naruto took out the Book of Earth from his pocket and tossed it in his hand. He looked at Orochimaru playfully.
" Hmm…" Orochimaru was stunned when he saw the Book of the Earth in Naruto's hand. He opened his mouth wide and swallowed half of the book, staring at the Book of the Earth in Naruto's hand without moving. Meanwhile, Naruto was tossing the Book of the Earth in his hand while smiling and discussing with Sasuke and Sakura what to eat tonight.
"You should have enough capital to be proud, because you have successfully angered me.”Orochimaru pulled out the book in his hand and threw it aside. He stared at Naruto and the others and smiled." But I'm very curious. How did you get this Book of Earth in such a short time?”
"Nothing? I just met a few small fries like you on the way and got rid of them. I didn't expect my luck to be so good. I'm sorry to disappoint you." Naruto sighed innocently.
"This is getting more and more interesting. Since you have the Book of Heaven that I need, let's begin! He had bet his life on the scroll battle.”Orochimaru pulled down his right eyelid and said coldly to the three of them. At the same time, he attacked Naruto and the others with his killing intent.
Sasuke and Sakura, who had been hit by Orochimaru's aura, were dumbfounded. They looked at the person in front of them and did not know what was going on. At the same time, their hearts were in turmoil, and their stomachs began to twitch. The murderous aura of someone like Orochimaru was not something they could withstand directly.
"Yawning!" Just as Sasuke was about to vomit, Naruto suddenly sneezed." Please don't make such a disgusting expression. Fortunately, I didn't eat breakfast today. Otherwise, I think I'll get anorexia."”Naruto said lazily while holding his mouth. Orochimaru's murderous aura had no effect on him at all.
"Oh! Little brat, it looks like you are quite capable. You can actually remain calm in my murderous aura.”Orochimaru turned his gaze to Naruto and said with narrowed pupils.
"Not at all, not at all. It's just so-so. It's only the third in the world.”Naruto waved his hand in embarrassment. The reason why Naruto was not affected by Orochimaru's killing intent was because he had killed many people with the name Storm Celestial Dragon. As Naruto interrupted Orochimaru's murderous attack, Sasuke and Sakura, who were initially shocked, also stood up under Naruto's teasing words. They were not as embarrassed as in the original novel.
"Are you playing tricks just because you can't win with words? Fire Escape Phoenix Fairy Technique!" Naruto, who was smiling at Orochimaru, suddenly cast a Fire Escape Technique behind him.
"Ah ~!" Xiao Ying closed her eyes and screamed when she saw the flowers condensed from flames flying towards her. However, the ground shook violently and interrupted her scream. She saw a charred snake lying behind her, emitting green smoke. Sakura, who understood what was going on, couldn't help but sigh in relief."Thank you, Naruto!”
"Earth Escape and Fire Escape? Looks like you know quite a bit of ninjutsu!”At this moment, a hole suddenly appeared on the back of the charred Orochi, and Orochimaru came out from the hole. As for the Orochimaru opposite Naruto, it turned into a pile of soil.
"However, the prey must be careful in front of the hunter!”Orochimaru, who had crawled out of the Orochi's stomach, said pervertedly. Then, like a snake, he charged towards the three of them.
"That's right! Then why weren't you careful at all? Explode!" Naruto saw Orochimaru rushing over at an extremely fast speed and smiled calmly. Then, with his roar, a series of explosions suddenly occurred under Orochimaru, and Orochimaru, who couldn't dodge in time, suffered all of this.
"Has it been resolved?" Sasuke asked worriedly as he looked at the smoky situation caused by the violent explosion.
"No, not yet. He won't be dealt with so easily, right? Pervert!" Naruto replied to Sasuke and suddenly turned to a tree behind him.
"What an uncute little brat. Muye was indeed the cradle of geniuses! Are you interested in coming with me? I can give you more power!”Orochimaru saw that his hiding place had been exposed by Naruto, so he did not hide. Instead, he walked out from behind the tree and tempted.
It turned out that after Orochimaru released his killing intent, he took advantage of the moment when Sasuke and Sakura were distracted to use the Earth Clone and Substitution Spell to fake himself to stay in the same place to attract attention. His main body hid in the stomach of the big snake and attacked Naruto and the others. However, he did not expect that his every move was under Naruto's control. Therefore, Naruto, who already knew his next move, used the flame flowers to cover up after activating the balsamia spell. He threw the shuriken with the explosive talisman between the snake and his side, and the ashes that fell from the charred snake covered up the traces. If he detonated them when Orochimaru was right above him, even if he couldn't be injured, he would be in a sorry state.
"The powerful strength you mentioned is to hide in the snake's stomach and be roasted by others, then run out and be fried by others? Then you should keep it for yourself." Naruto looked straight at Orochimaru, who had a gentle expression in his eyes, and curled his body as he teased him.
"Brat, you can't be so arrogant towards your elders!”Orochimaru had been " teased " by Naruto several times. Finally, his eyes focused as he spoke coldly to Naruto.
