After finishing the first round of the Chuunin exam, Naruto returned home and rummaged through the cabinets to find many marks of Flying Thunder God's suffering. The second exam would begin tomorrow. Within five days, there was Orochimaru who was interested in Uchiha's bloodline, and Uchiha Daito who was waiting for an opportunity to seize one and nine tails. Facing these two people, Naruto had to be serious.
Naruto was still very wary of Orochimaru, even though his combat power was slightly lower than that of Xiaori, and he was trapped by Itachi's Golden Binding Illusion. However, as the first BOSS to appear, it survived until the end. Many people wanted to kill him. Sasuke tried, Itachi tried, but they all failed. Therefore, Naruto placed Orochimaru on the same level of threat as Ban and Dai Tu.
As for the masked man with dirt, he was even more impressive. The ninja who had once received the true teachings of Uchiha Ban and the Kaleidoscope Shurakan that he had used to the extreme made Naruto even more vigilant about this exam. It would be fine if it was a direct confrontation, but if he were to be kicked in the face of Orochimaru, then even if he had the Flying Thunder God Ninjutsu, he probably wouldn't be able to escape.
Naruto had made ample preparations for this. He had even sealed an entire box of Flying Thunder God's Kuna into a scroll and wore it on his body. There were also detonating talismans, steel wires, darts, and other ninja tools. In a showdown between masters, a shuriken and a dart could also be one of the key points that determined the outcome of the battle. With the idea of being prepared, Naruto almost emptied the inventory at home.
After asking for the time and place, the three of them met at the usual place and walked towards the second round of the Chuunin Selection Examination. Soon, they arrived at the Forest of Death, the No. 44 training ground in Muye Village. At this moment, there were already many ninjas who had passed the first test gathered there, waiting quietly.
Red Bean was still in her usual attire. With her hands in her pockets, she said casually,"This is the venue for the second round of the exam, the 44th drill ground, also known as the Forest of Death. Oh, as you can see, there are killings between animals everywhere. Death can happen in the forest at any time.”
This scene made many people uncomfortable. Xiao Ying made a comment,"This place makes people feel really uncomfortable…" She believed that many people present felt the same way. Naruto imitated Red Bean's tone and said,""Hmph, I'll let you know why this place is called the Forest of Death. It looks like he's just scaring people…"
Sure enough, Red Bean smiled and threw a shuriken at him. Naruto tilted his head and dodged it. Then, he turned to look at Red Bean behind him. At this time, Red Bean had already pushed the shuriken against Naruto's face. Naruto's hand was not idle either. It was less than a centimeter away from Red Bean's chest, but Red Bean still did not notice it. She said to herself,"A child like you can easily die immediately.”
Naruto harrumphed, and it was only then that Red Bean realized where Naruto's hand was. Her face turned red, and at this moment, a gossipy woman from Caoyin Village rolled up her shuriken with her tongue and placed it beside Red Bean, saying,""I'll return this to you!" Naruto's lips curled up, and he pretended not to care as he caressed the body of the grass. Then, he left the two of them and stood beside Sasuke and Sakura.
Sasuke did not understand. Naruto did not usually play the clown, so he asked,""Why did you do this?" Naruto looked at the ninja who was communicating with Red Bean and said,""That Cao Ren is not simple. I had a feeling that he would be a hindrance to us in the second exam, so I deliberately set up that trap. As for the result, it was very successful, and there were some unexpected gains.”As he spoke, he raised his hand and sniffed…
Red Bean walked back and saw Naruto's actions. Her face turned red for some reason. Naruto's actions were very subtle. He gently tapped on Red Bean's towering chest, but no third person saw it. Without evidence, Red Bean simply ignored Naruto and took out a stack of papers from her pocket. She waved it and said,"Then, before the second exam begins, I will give you this.”
There were three big words on the paper: "This is the consent form. Those who want to take the exam have to sign it first." You might doubt it, but someone might die in this exam, so I have to get your approval first. Otherwise, I'll become the person in charge, hahaha…"
Even though Red Bean was laughing heartily, everyone present felt a sense of pressure. The worst thing that could happen in this exam was death. Most of the ninjas present had never killed anyone before. It was their first time coming into contact with it, so they were naturally very nervous. After Red Bean finished laughing, she distributed the consent forms. The Genin looked at the consent forms while listening to Red Bean's explanation.
" Now, let me explain the rules of the second round," Red Bean said." Simply put, this is a challenge to the limits of survival. First, the terrain of the exam grounds was surrounded by 44 locked doors. There was a forest, a river, and a tower in the middle. The tower was about ten kilometers from the door. In this limited space, you will have to undergo survival training. The content was to fight for the scroll by hook or by crook.”
Pausing for a moment, he took out two scrolls from his pocket and said,"The Book of Heaven and the Book of Earth are fighting around them. There were a total of 22 groups that passed the first test. 11 of them had the Book of Heaven, and the other 11 had the Book of Earth. Each group only had one scroll. Simply put, they had to snatch other people's scrolls. As for the qualifying conditions, the three of them had to hold the Heaven and Earth scrolls to reach the central tower. If there were casualties or the scrolls were lost, they would lose their qualifications for five days. Now, after each group received the scrolls, they would follow the designated Chuunin to their respective starting point. Oh right, I didn't quit halfway. Of course, if I open the scroll without permission, I'll bear the consequences. One last suggestion, don't die…"
The three of them received the scrolls and looked at the Book of Heaven in their hands. The corners of Naruto's mouth curled up as he followed the designated Chuunin to the door. Before they parted ways, Naruto especially encouraged Hatata. The three of them arrived at Gate No. 12 and waited quietly for the time to arrive. When the minute hand pointed to six, the chuunins opened the door and officially announced the start of the exam. As soon as they finished speaking, countless Genins rushed into the Forest of Death at the same time. Most of them chose to target Naruto and the other two. Among them, there was the dormant Orochimaru and Uchiha Daito…
The three of them slowly walked through the door. Looking at the unfamiliar environment, Naruto said,""Sasuke, Sakura, it's time to show off our real skills. This is a good place to test our cultivation.”After taking a few steps, the sounds of various animals could be heard from the forest. It seemed to be mixed with the sorrowful cries of some people before they died. When Sasuke heard this voice, the corners of his mouth curled up.""It started so soon?"
In the Forest of Death, this exam truly tested a person's chances of survival in a cruel environment. Naruto, who was an assassin in his previous life, had naturally learned the relevant knowledge. In other words, he was an expert in extreme challenge survival. Under his lead, Sasuke and Sakura avoided one beast after another and walked slowly and stealthily towards the tower. As for the time, there was still a long way to go…
" Sakura, Sasuke, look, this is a scorpion. The pincers on the tail of this scorpion are poisonous. However, as long as we cut off the tail and head, the rest can be eaten. We can't start a fire here to avoid exposing our position, so we'll eat it raw. This scorpion contains quite a lot of energy…"
"Oh, it's a dead zebra, but it looks fresh because there's nothing happier than picking up a fresh zebra carcass left by a lion.。。He didn't have to waste his energy anymore…The lion had eaten most of the meat, but as long as there were vultures waiting nearby without maggots, it meant that the meat had not rotted…We can eat the zebra raw like this…"
"Come quickly, Sakura, Sasuke, look what I found. " Oh, these are some grasshoppers. Although they are small and look disgusting, they can save your life at a critical moment. You can just cut off their heads with your shuriken and eat them directly, just like this…" As he spoke, Naruto stuffed the grasshoppers that had been modified into his mouth, and then the crunching sound of eating crispy bones could be heard…
"Look, this is a Heavenly Bull! This thing was not easy to find. His chelicera was so strong that it could peel off the bark. We can remove the head and eat it raw. " Oh, it tastes like prawns that have been left for several weeks. Only the shell and rotten internal organs are left…" While eating, Naruto expressed his thoughts. Sasuke and Sakura looked at the longicorn beetle in their hands and wanted to cry but had no tears…
"Also, this is a small lizard. You can eat it after removing its head. Its protein content is six times that of beef. As for the taste, it's chicken flavor, crunchy..." Seeing Naruto walking and eating, Sasuke and Sakura were almost convinced. Although in Sasuke's heart, Naruto was no longer an ordinary person, after seeing this scene, Sasuke directly classified Naruto as a non-human. As for Sakura, she had already vomited N 1 times and was no longer able to complain...
At dusk, the three of them found a hidden tree hole and gathered a pile of firewood. Naruto took out three mice from his pocket and roasted them on a branch. As he roasted them, he said,"This is a rat, but the bacteria carried by the rat will make us sick. In this environment, getting sick is basically equivalent to courting death, so I have to roast these three rats before eating them. Look, the rat fur has been burned off, which means that it's almost healed…"
The first day in the Forest of Death ended just like that. Although the food they had eaten today was not delicious, compared to the other ninjas who did not have food, having a place to eat and live was already very enviable. After eating and drinking, Naruto sorted out his ninja gear because there were still many fierce battles waiting for them tomorrow...
To be continued·····················
It's just a prank, but I still suggest you watch Man vs. Wild. I personally feel that it's much better than any TV talent show. Of course, I don't recommend you watch it while you're eating. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences…
